Chapter 43: Another Harvest

"Brother-in-law, what did you find?"

With an exclamation from his uncle, Miao Miao and his grandfather couldn't help but look back at the direction of Ding's father, and sure enough, Ding's father was facing a green plant, observing carefully, and carefully pulling out some of the surrounding weeds, revealing the whole plant.

"Dad, what is this?" Miao Miao saw her father's careful and careful actions, although she didn't see clearly what was blocked by his figure, but it seemed that she really found something!

"Miao Miao, come here, doesn't this look like the orchid you painted?"

"Really? Orchids I've painted? ”

"That's right, when Dad cleaned up the drawing paper for you that day, he looked at it carefully!"

The more Dad Ding looked at it, the more it looked like it, this was not ten images with Miao Miao's paintings, but also seven or eight.

In the past few months, Miao Miao will draw a lot of orchid pictures every day to practice, a painting is about 30 sheets, in this way, the waste paper is also more, when the mother's belly is not big, occasionally come in to help Miao Miao clean up, and in the late stage of pregnancy, the housework at home will be taken over by Ding's father.

Ding's father has the most respect for these pen and ink things that are written, painted and painted, and he carefully organizes them every time, and at the beginning, he was afraid of making mistakes, and he deliberately took Miao Miao with him, for fear of throwing away anything useful.

Although Ding's father is not good at writing, he can understand how to draw, this is not a postmodern painting, it is all copying, and it doesn't always look like it. Therefore, when Ding's father saw the orchid pictures in various postures, he was surprised that his daughter was really talented, and asked his daughter what she was drawing, why did she draw grass?

Miao Miao was made to cry and laugh by her father's "grass talk", so she simply explained carefully with each orchid picture, and carefully distinguished the difference between orchids and other plants:

"The orchid is different from the general grass plant in that its leaves are ribbon-like or a few are inverted-lanceolate or narrowly oval, and the base is generally broadly sheathed around the pseudobulb and has joints. The color of the inflorescence is white, pure white, white-green, yellow-green, pale yellow, light yellow-brown, yellow, red, blue, purple.

Orchid is also a peculiar flower, orchid is a symmetrical flower on both sides, its peculiarity is to adapt to insect pollination, with stamen, beak, pollen and lip petals, etc., unlike ordinary flowers, orchids usually have lip petals. The orchid has six perianths, which are divided into two wheels, the inner and outer wheels, of which one of the inner wheels is specialized into a lip petal. ”

Although Ding's father only remembered these terms at that time, he often saw orchid pictures for more than a month, and he was not familiar with them, and he was forced to be familiar with them! Therefore, just now Ding's father saw this orchid-like plant in this dark and damp place, and he immediately became energetic, listening to Miao Miao say that this orchid is valuable!

Although it looks like it, Dad Ding only cleaned up the weeds around this orchid, and the others didn't move, waiting for others to identify it!

At this time, when Miao Miao and her grandfather also walked next to Ding's father, they finally saw the things in Ding's father's hand:

I saw that the pseudobulb underneath this plant is hidden in the leaf base, which is typical of narrow ovoid shape. The leaf shape is slender like a long band, thin with a kind of leather texture, the color is dark green, and there are some fine teeth on the front edge.

The flowers are pale yellowish-green and have pale yellow lip petals, the petals are ovate-lanceolate; labial flap nearly ovate; The pillars are slightly curved forward, with narrow wings on both sides. The capsule is narrowly oval, about 4.5 cm long and 1.8 cm wide.

Come to the front and smell it slightly, you can smell the strong aroma, which is different from the Ganoderma lucidum just now, and the fragrance is stronger.

It is in response to the description of the cold orchid that Miao Miao saw: "The plant is slender and fit, the leaves are elegant and handsome, the flower color is gorgeous and changeable, the fragrance is mellow and mellow for a long time, and the frost is cold and fragrant." ”

Looking at the surrounding environment, the trees are shady, the yuba is moist, the soil is soft, and there are some rocks, which corresponds to the growth environment of the cold orchid, which is "born in the understory, next to the valley, or on the slightly shady, moist, and stony soil"

It's a pity that she didn't wait for Miao Miao to be happy for a while, and her grandfather and uncle didn't think so......

Grandpa didn't know much about orchids, a plant with high ornamental value, in his eyes, this is a flower that is more ugly than flowers, more beautiful than grass, so after a little look, he didn't have much interest in getting up!

"What's this! Let's find something else, otherwise we'll have to pick more wild mountain mushrooms! "Uncle is even more aesthetic, he knows that Ganoderma lucidum is a treasure, but this grass, is it difficult to make any medicinal materials?

Ding's father was persuaded by his grandfather and Youqing's words for a while, eh, is this really useless?

"No, this is an orchid, or is it a cold orchid! Look at this pale yellow-green flower, pale yellow lip petals, and the leaves are also ribbon-shaped, it smells very fragrant, and it is now the end of October, which is the flowering period of Hanlan! We're in luck! ”

Miao Miao was trying to convince everyone at first, but the more she talked, the more happy she felt, and she felt that she had gained a lot today. Even my grandfather didn't know about it, and if it weren't for me, I wouldn't know what I would have missed!

Father Ding watched Miao Miao's lips curl higher and higher, and his voice became more and more excited, and he didn't need to look at Miao Miao's head with a steel hammer!

"This thing is just a little favorite of the rich, we can't sell it at a good price here, didn't you say that orchids are delicate, if we bring them back, we may die, why don't we bring them?"

Of course, Miao Miao knows that orchids are the most difficult to cultivate, and they must be dark and moist, but will they come back here for a while and a half, and they are really unwilling not to take away the cold orchid.

"Come on, if you're dead, you'll die, and your uncle will take it back for you!" Youqing saw that his brother-in-law didn't start, so he squatted down and dug the soil by himself, "Miao Miao, you say, if there is anything to pay attention to, my uncle will come to give you a hand!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Miao Miao said gratefully, "The roots of the orchid are all fleshy roots, not hard, you just need to carefully dig it out whole." ”

Dad Ding didn't actually say that he wouldn't help, but Youqing was his uncle's hero, so he didn't stop him, got out of the way, and went to the other side with his grandfather to pick wild mountain mushrooms, and the back basket was not full yet!

Miao Miao's command can still be heard in the distance......

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

"Eh, uncle, you dig a little below!"

"Well, that's right."

"Uncle, don't sprinkle the mud, it will take a long time to bring it back and plant it, it can't be short of water!"

"Why don't we dig up some dirt and go back? In this earthen pot, the orchid will definitely grow well! ”

……

Approaching evening, it was dark and early in the mountains, and the back baskets of the group were almost full.

"Jianguo, Youqing, it's almost today, we have to go and see if there is any prey in the trap!"

Ding's father's back basket was already full, and now he has wrapped a full bag in his pocket, and Miao Miao also obediently followed his father to help clean up the mountain mushrooms at hand.

Hearing her grandfather shouting that someone was leaving, Miao Miao hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, come down quickly!" Going! ”

After only listening to a few "bangs", a flexible figure jumped down from a tree, and this person with a healthy posture was Youqing.

"Miao Miao, give! Try this! ”

As he spoke, Youqing handed a handful of purple-red and purple-red mulberries to Miao Miao.

It turned out that just now Youqing saw a mulberry tree on the side, thinking that Miao Miao had not tasted the mulberries in this mountain, it was very, very sweet, and there was no bamboo pole at hand, so he simply put the back basket and climbed it in three steps and two times!

"Thank you, uncle!" Miao Miao ate the mulberries in the mountains, and she had a lot of sweet water, and her small body was much more comfortable after being tired all afternoon, so she gave some to Ding's father.

On the other side, my uncle also brought a bunch to my grandfather, and everyone had not drunk water for a long time, and they were all a little thirsty.

"Let's go, let's go see our prey, maybe there's still a catch!"

With that, Dad Ding picked up Miao Miao, and everyone went out of the mountain together......
