Gao Xi was really shocked by this lavender, he had only seen lavender manor in TV series and animations before, and the lavender looked so beautiful, but unfortunately there was no fragrance in the TV.

It is said that there are two kinds of lavender and broad-leaved lavender cultivated in China.

But in fact, lavender is not suitable for China's climate, although there is a small amount of cultivation in Xinjiang, but more than 99% of the domestic "lavender manor" does not have real lavender, but uses willow leaf verbena and blue sage to pretend.

Currently, lavender also grows in some parts of our country. Most of them are wild and grow in coastal areas, especially in the mountains. It is mostly broad-leaved lavender. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, there are small and small mountains left behind.

So Gao Xi has always wanted to see what real lavender looks like, but he didn't expect to realize his wish here today.

Xi Haijuan also praised repeatedly: "It's so beautiful, it's really like a sea of lavender, this whole piece is connected, I didn't expect it to be so spectacular." No, I have to take a few photos and send them to my Weibo and circle of friends, they will definitely be envious. ”

"Hahaha, Miss Haijuan can come to see it often if you like it, it's best to choose in June, July and August, bring your friends together, we can also make some lavender flavor for you, it's all natural, much better than the chemicals you bought, and it's much safer." Liu Laohan smiled happily.

"Yes, Haijuan, you can fly directly from Bozeman to San Francisco, and there are flights every day, so you can come whenever you want. I can also come over and rub the rice, the food made by my aunt is so good, I have a fight with my mother. Gao Xi also said with a smile.

"I don't know if I can also use this as a point for the tour group, Uncle Liu, are you welcome?" Xi Haijuan really thinks about work the most in her mind, and she is still thinking about whether she can use this place as a tourist location.

"Yes, of course it's no problem, I won't refuse to make money. And the ticket for the domestic regional flight in the United States is still very cheap, which is much more cost-effective than driving, so you are welcome to come. Liu Laohan said with a smile.

"But Uncle Liu, can this lavender only be ornamental?" Gossi asked, confused.

"Then you are wrong, let me tell you two things and you will understand, the preciousness of this lavender is not just ornamental. In ancient Greek times, lavender was called Nades, sometimes simply Nades, a name that comes from a Syrian city called Nada. In ancient Roman times, lavender flowers could be sold for a hundred dinari per pound. The price was about one month's salary for a farm worker at the time, or the payment of a barber for cutting the hair of fifty people. The Romans would put lavender in the bath water along with various herbs, and they introduced this bathing method to Britain. ”

"Also, during the Black Death, many of the glove-making workers in Grasse, France, escaped the plague because they often soaked their leather in lavender oil. There may be some truth to this story, as the plague germ is transmitted by fleas, and lavender can repel fleas. ”

"I didn't expect lavender to be used like this, I'll have to try it in the future." Gao Xi's baths have always been clean and neat. He doesn't even use shower gel, he has used soap and laundry detergent to take a bath and wash his hair since he was a child, and he doesn't even use shampoo, and his hair is still black and beautiful. So he didn't really believe in these so-called shower gels or anything.

"Brother, you really need to read the book, lavender has been widely used in herbology now, and it is said that lavender oil can reduce and treat insect bites. And the bouquet of lavender can repel insects. Lavender oil is said to reduce the symptoms of headaches. Lavender is often used to help you fall asleep: adding lavender seeds and flowers to your pillow can help you fall asleep; Or drink a cup of lavender tea and add a little lavender oil to a cup of hot water before bed. It has a calming and relaxing effect. Lavender oil or extracted essential oils in a ratio of one to ten, lavender oil one, water and rose water or witch hazel water ten, mixed dilutions, are said to cure acne. Lavender oil can also be used to treat burns or inflammation of the skin, and there is scientific evidence to support this treatment modality due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Xi Haijuan said with a grin.

Sure enough, it's a girl.,The research on these flowers and plants is really not bad.,It's really much more thorough than Gao Xi's understanding.。

"It's a pity, if there were beekeepers, this large area of lavender would produce a lot of honey." Gao Xi said with emotion.

"Yes, but it's past the lavender season, so the beekeepers have left."

"Is there a mobile beekeeper in the United States like we do in China?" Gossey asked.

"Yes, why not, even a lot of them are Chinese, they kept bees when they were in China, and they did these jobs after they arrived in the United States, the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many places to grow flowers, and there are a lot of beekeepers, if you come a month earlier, you can see it. The lavender flowers secrete a large amount of nectar, which can produce high-quality honey, and the countries surrounding the Mediterranean are the main producers of lavender honey. Lavender flowers can be used to make lavender jam, and can be used as a material and decoration for pastry cakes. Lavender can be used as a spice in cooking, on its own, or mixed with other herbs to make a Provençal spice. Liu Laohan replied with a smile.

"Lavender jam? I haven't heard of this yet, can I eat it? Gao Xi couldn't help but ask.

"You can eat it, why can't you eat it. And it tastes very good, by the way, the flower spikes of lavender can also be used as dried flowers and ornaments. Lilac, scented flowers and buds can be used to make incense pots and sachets, and dried flowers can be sealed in a bag to make sachets, and the sachets can be placed in the wardrobe to make clothes fragrant and prevent insects. The commercial cultivation of lavender is mainly to obtain lavender flowers to extract lavender essential oil, which can be used as a fungicide and essential oil used in aromatherapy. Liu Laohan said again: "Otherwise, what do you think I planted so much lavender for?" ”

When Gao Xi heard this, he asked, "Uncle Liu, can this lavender be transplanted now?" I want to plant some lavender on my pasture as well, it's so good, I'll plant some for myself. Originally, I was going to France to get it, but I didn't have time, so I didn't expect to see it here today. ”

"What's so difficult about this, lavender can be grown by seeds, and when you go back, I'll give you some lavender seeds, why bother going to France." Liu Laohan is really good at talking.

"Oh, that's a lot of thanks, it's an unexpected bonus." Gao Xi actually just wants to plant some lavender in his space, relying on his own hands to dress up the space more beautifully, and lavender has so many benefits, it is not a loss to plant it, and maybe after planting lavender, the fog of war can also be dispelled. He failed to graft the Ancient Tree, but he didn't try to grow some ordinary plants. The ones he had planted before had been planted in the Night Elf camp and could not be used as a reference at all......

After reading the lavender, the farm was almost gone, and Liu Laohan drove the tractor with very large wheels to carry Gao Xi and the others back to their place.

He obviously has no signs of drunkenness at this time, and it is estimated that half a bottle of Moutai really can't put him down.

"Lord Xichang, we have three little piglets at home, if you don't think it's enough, then I'll go to the neighborhood to find some, how about finding a few more for you?" When he arrived near the house, Liu Laohan did not forget to find a pig cub for Gao Xi, so he brought it up.

"Two are enough, male or female." Gao Xi is planning to breed in the space, where the pigs grow very fast, and the two will soon become a group, after all, pigs are different from cows, and cattle can only have one cub at a time, but pigs can have a litter, six or seven, seven or eight, or even a dozen, so this reproduction is very fast, and there is no need to ask so much.

"Two of them, okay, then I'll find you a female and a male." Liu Laohan thought about it, so he went to his piggery, got two little pigs, put them in a frame and put them on Gao Xi's pickup truck.

The old lady went to fetch a large bag of lavender seeds for Gao Xi, which is estimated to be at least one acre of land, which is completely sufficient.

Gao Xi is really not afraid that lavender will not live, he has the spring of life, if he can't grow lavender by relying on the spring of life, it will be too embarrassing.

"Let's take these back first, if it's not enough or the lavender doesn't work, you can come again, we have a lot of lavender seeds here anyway." Liu Laohan patted the bag of lavender seeds and said, they are really willing.

"It should be no problem, thank you so much for your hospitality today, Haijuan and I really have to go back, she still has a tour group to manage, although I am a rancher who doesn't care about anything. But it's really not good to have me in the ranch, and you know, there's a lot of trouble. Gao Xi looked at the sky and found that there were signs of rain, so he wanted to hurry home, and when the little piglet was on the way, he was going to get it directly into the space, and told Haijuan that it would be enough to consign it back, and Xi Haijuan would not investigate it anyway.

After all, it's really inappropriate to fly with pigs.

"Okay, then we won't force you to stay, if you have time, come and play often, anyway, it's still easy to get here from Bozeman." Liu Laohan said with a smile: "You don't lack that plane ticket money, right?" ”

"Your second master is going to my ranch to play, although my family has gone back during this time, but my cooking skills are not bad, after you go, I will prepare some more special Chinese food for you, what fish, shrimp and crabs have, have a good meal." And Kefeng and Pepe, you can hurry over after you have dealt with this matter, the supermarket must open earlier than the resort, and you must get into work early. (To be continued......)
