Not long after Xiao Ping returned to the farm, Mao Wenqing called to thank him. It seems that Wang Er and the others have returned to the provincial capital and handed over the red sandalwood material to Mao Wenqing.

The gift given by Xiao Ping obviously made Mao Wenqing very happy, and he could feel his cheerful mood over the phone. Speaking of which, this piece of red sandalwood material is worth at least millions, and more importantly, money may not be able to buy it, Mao Wenqing is a knowledgeable person, no wonder he is so happy.

After a few polite words with Mao Wenqing, Xiao Ping hung up the phone and quickly put the matter behind him. Maybe for Mao Wenqing, this piece of red sandalwood is very precious, but it is just a branch that Xiao Ping sawed from the red sandalwood tree, and it is nothing in his eyes.

After talking to Mao Wenqing on the phone, Xiao Ping took a casual bath, and then entered the demon refining pot. Yesterday, when he sawed the red sandalwood material for Mao Wenqing, he found that there was a faint hint of floral fragrance in the air in the demon refining pot. At that time, because Xiao Ping was in an unfamiliar place, he did not deliberately look for the source of the fragrance of flowers. When I returned to the farm today, I naturally had to look for it.

After entering the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping let out a long whistle, and soon his beloved horse, the Black Devil, trotted to find it. Xiao Ping loaded the snorting black devil with a harness and began to ride it around the space of the demon refining pot.

After several evolutions, the area of the Demon Refining Pot space is already very large, and it will take a long time to patrol on foot alone, but if there is a black devil to walk, this matter will be much easier.

Xiao Ping first went to the hillside and was pleasantly surprised to find that the vines here had grown very luxuriantly, and many small almost white flowers had fallen under the vines, which had obviously bloomed. It looks like it won't take long for the grapes to come to fruition. Xiao Ping sniffed the flowers that had fallen on the ground and was sure that the fragrance of the flowers did not come from the vines. So he rode off the hillside.

Now that it is certain that the floral fragrance does not come from the grapevine, Xiao Ping has already guessed the origin of the floral fragrance. He urged the black devil to go straight to the crocus field by the sea. Sure enough, I found that only the saffron buds of the flower buds had bloomed a few days ago.

At the edge of the saffron field, the floral fragrance that was originally present becomes more intense. Xiao Ping, who was sitting on the back of the black devil, looked at it, and the entire crocus field was simply a sea of flowers, and the pale red flowers were dense, as if a red carpet had been laid on the ground.

"It's finally blooming...... Xiao Ping looked at the blooming crocuses with satisfaction, and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect this flower to be quite beautiful, it's really spectacular for so many crocuses to bloom together!"

Xiao Ping turned over and dismounted, got closer to observe the blooming crocus, and soon made an astonishing discovery.

These crocuses have a particularly large number of stamens. Densely packed into the flowers, it almost filled the inside of the flowers. And ordinary crocuses only have a few stamens each, which means that the yield of crocus in the demon refining pot is several times higher than that planted outside.

All the stamens have the deep purplish red color of the stamens of the finest saffron, and this alone shows that the quality of the saffron is very high. Of course, the quality of the animals and plants in the demon refining pot is very high, and it is not surprising to grow the best saffron.

Now that the crocus is in full bloom, the next step is to collect the stamens. Only the stamens are the usable part of the saffron. Whether it is used as a seasoning or as a medicine, the stamen of saffron is used. Xiao Ping quickly left the demon refining pot, found a basket and other tools, and began to harvest the stamens of saffron.

Collecting stamens is a delicate task. The stamens are plucked from the flowers of the crocus by hand. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of each stamen, even the most delicate parts of the top of the stamen. Only the intact stamens can become a high-grade saffron after they are dried. Therefore, Xiao Ping was also cautious when picking the stamens, for fear that a negligence would ruin the good stamens.

And because of that. Xiao Ping harvested saffron very slowly. He was busy in the saffron field for a while before he harvested a small pile of crocus. It's just barely covering the bottom of the basket.

Xiao Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up and realized that he had only collected a small piece of land, and there were still large patches of crocuses waiting to be harvested.

"It's not going to go on like this. Looking at the saffron flowers in full bloom, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Harvesting saffron is meticulous work, and no matter how strong it is, it is useless, so Xiao Ping's speed of harvesting saffron is similar to that of ordinary people. With the help of more than a dozen people, it will take a long time to harvest such a large area of crocus, but now Xiao Ping is fighting alone, and it will take even longer. Xiao Ping was worried that before he could harvest thirty percent of the saffron, the rest of the saffron would already be gone.

Since the goal cannot be achieved by brute force, it is natural to think of other methods. Xiao Ping sat on the grass next to the saffron field, wondering if there was a more convenient and faster way to harvest the saffron.

The crocus fields are already close to the sea, and several tall coconut trees can be clearly seen standing on the beach. A breeze blew, and two small withered leaves fell from the coconut tree, this scene made Xiao Ping's mind flash and thought of a solution that might solve the problem.

Anxious to try whether this method worked, Xiao Ping hurriedly left the demon refining pot, went to the warehouse of the farm to find a lot of plastic sheeting, and hurried back to the saffron field in a hurry.

These plastic sheets are used to build vegetable greenhouses in the farm, and now Xiao Ping uses them for more important purposes. He carefully laid out the plastic sheeting, and while avoiding the saffron, he tried to cover the saffron field as much as possible.

Although this is also a delicate job, it is much easier than picking the stamens of the saffron one by one. After being busy for a while, Xiao Ping finally laid out the plastic sheeting in one-third of the saffron fields.

"It's a matter of success or failure. Xiao Ping stood in the middle of the large plastic sheet, looking at the fruits of his labor in the middle of the night, and muttered to himself: "If it doesn't work, it will be miserable." ”

Xiao Ping knew in his heart that the solution he had come up with was the only way to harvest all the crocloves in time. If that doesn't work, you'll have to pick it by hand. In that case, it is impossible to harvest such a large piece of saffron in any case, and when the time comes, you can only collect as much as you want, and then the loss will be great.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping was also a little nervous, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then gently closed his eyes, opened his arms to concentrate, and let his thoughts spread in the saffron field.

Xiao Ping focused his whole energy on saffron and began to exert influence on these plants. His plan was very simple, since he could control the animals in the demon refining pot, he could also affect the plants here.

With Xiao Ping's efforts, the saffron around him gradually reacted, and a strange scene was staged in the saffron field. (To be continued......)
