Chapter 58: Iron Maple Bucket
After a period of growth, more than half an acre of Dendrobium seedlings have grown to a foot tall and the thickness of a little finger. Many dendrobium trees have already bloomed, and the pink and pale yellow flowers are in a row, which is very pleasing to the eye.
When deciding to plant Dendrobium, Xiao Ping had asked Wang Dacang a lot of knowledge about this medicinal material, and knew that Dendrobium officinale that had grown to this extent was the best quality, so he immediately began to harvest. Plants grow very fast in the Demon Refining Pot, and a day later you may miss the best harvest time.
Xiao Ping used a sharp sickle to cut the stem of the dendrobium at a height of inches above the ground, and the stems and leaves that were cut off were the parts that could be used for medicine. As for the roots that remain in the ground, they do not care about it, and soon they will sprout again and grow into a new Dendrobium officinale.
At present, Xiao Ping can be regarded as half a farmer, and harvesting this half acre of herbs is just a trivial matter for him, and it will not take long for the dendrobium to be harvested. In the demon refining pot, all kinds of animals and plants will grow thriving, and these dendrobium are naturally no exception. However, the area of more than half an acre is long, but Xiao Ping has harvested hundreds of catties of dendrobium, compared with the outside of the demon refining pot, such a yield is absolutely amazing.
Looking at so many dendrobium in front of him, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little worried. He just heard Wang Cannon say that this medicinal herb was very valuable, and then he planted so many of them. It's a good harvest right now, but I have no idea what to do next.
"No matter, let's get it out first, and then ask Wang Cannon." Xiao Ping finally made an irresponsible decision and moved all the harvested dendrobium to the warehouse on the first floor of the villa.
As soon as Wang Dacang went to work the next morning, Xiao Ping took him to the door of the villa and said, "Lao Wang, I'll show you something, you can give you an idea of what to do next." ”
"No problem!" Wang Dacang always responded very realistically: "As long as I can do it, you will give it to me!" ”
Xiao Ping smiled at Wang Cannon and opened the door of the warehouse. After seeing the things in the warehouse clearly, the smile on Wang Dacang's face immediately froze, and he opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Xiao Ping and said, "Old ...... Boss, are all these dendrobium yours? ”
"Didn't I tell you last time that I have a friend who grows herbs?" Xiao Ping said casually: "These dendrobium were planted by him, and they were all sold to me cheaply, I don't know anything about this medicinal material, I want to hear your opinion." ”
Wang Cannon looked at the hundreds of catties of fresh dendrobium and muttered: "There are two ways to deal with it, one is to sell the fresh ones directly to the medicinal herb store, and the other is to do it ourselves, and make the fresh dendrobium cannons into iron maple buckets and sell them." ”
"What's the difference between the two?" Xiao Ping asked curiously.
"Of course, it's convenient to sell fresh, but the price will be much cheaper." Wang Cannon had picked Dendrobium officinale before, and at this time, he also said: "If you can concoct an iron maple bucket and sell it, the value will be greatly increased." However, this is risky, and if the good materials are broken, the loss will be even greater. ”
Xiao Ping thought for a while and immediately made a decision, raised his head and asked Wang Cannon: "Can you concoct Dendrobium?" ”
Wang Cannon nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a good hand in our village!" When there were still a lot of dendrobium on the mountain, I helped get the dendrobium picked by everyone. ”
"That'll do." Xiao Ping said simply: "I'll leave this matter to you, but don't let others know about it." When I sell this batch of medicines, I'll send you a big red envelope when I come back. ”
Wang Dacang didn't pay much attention to the red envelope or anything, but Xiao Ping's trust moved him very much, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Boss, don't worry, my old Wang will definitely handle this matter for you properly!" ”…,
Wang Dacang said that he would do it, and immediately went home and brought the big iron pot. This pot was originally used to concoct dendrobium, which has been idle for several years, and today it finally has a place to use again.
Wang Dacang cut the stems of fresh dendrobium to the same length, then turned the stems into a twisted spiral shape, and finally put them into a hot iron pot to fry.
Xiao Ping watched Wang Cannon skillfully doing these jobs, and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. Wang Cannon really didn't brag, just looking at the movements, he knew that he did have a lot of experience in concocting Dendrobium, otherwise the gestures would not be so skillful.
When the dendrobium was scooped up from the pot, it was concocted into an iron maple bucket, which was officially a precious Chinese medicine. Because the quality of the dendrobium planted in the demon refining pot is outstanding, the iron maple bucket concocted is naturally of the highest quality. The surface of these iron maple buckets is golden yellow, and the shape is as complete as that of a snail. Even the experienced Wang Cannon praised it, saying that this was the best quality iron maple bucket he had concocted in decades.
A few hundred catties of fresh dendrobium is also a lot, and Wang Cannon was busy for two days in order to finish concocting them while the dendrobium was fresh. The hundreds of catties of dendrobium that Xiao Ping harvested from the demon refining pot finally turned into more than seventy catties of iron-barked maple buckets with the efforts of Wang Cannon.
Looking at these yellow and clear iron maple buckets, Xiao Ping's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he felt as if he had seen so much gold. In a good mood, he couldn't help but say to Wang Dacang: "Old Wang, thank you so much this time, I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to sell all these iron maple buckets." ”
Wang Dacang hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but say to Xiao Ping: "Boss, I advise you not to sell out." The quality of these iron maple buckets is so good, it's good to keep a little for yourself to eat or give away, it's really a pity to sell them all. ”
Xiao Ping smiled and didn't take Wang Cannon's words to heart. Anyway, as long as it takes another month, the dendrobium in the demon refining pot will be harvested again, and then ask Wang Cannon to concoct it. Maybe in the eyes of others, such a high-quality iron maple bucket is a rare medicinal material, but to Xiao Ping, it is really nothing.
The next day, Xiao Ping rushed to Tongrentang in the provincial capital with an iron maple bucket. Last time, Xiao Ping sold three wild ginseng sticks here in one go, and the clerk had a deep impression of him. Hearing Xiao Ping say that there were some good medicinal materials to sell, the clerk didn't ask much at all, and directly invited the manager out.
"Mr. Xiao!" Luo Min, the manager of Tongrentang, also remembered Xiao Ping, and when he saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "What business do you have to take care of our store this time?" ”
More than seventy catties of iron maple bucket filled a large box, Xiao Ping gently put the box on the ground and said, "Manager Luo, you can take a look at these medicinal materials first, and then let's talk about it in detail." ”
"Okay!" Luo Min agreed with a smile, and was very much looking forward to what Xiao Ping had brought.
Xiao Ping was not ambiguous, and opened the lid of the box casually. After seeing the contents of the box clearly, Luo Min and the clerk gasped at the same time.

Today's first shift arrived, and I continued to ask for all kinds of support, and the seahorse bowed and swam away
