Xue Langjing herself came to know these flowers, plants, and fruit trees in order to earn more silver, while Li Hong'e was obsessed with stupidity purely because they were interested.

Even his own plant encyclopedia is placed in Li Hong'e most of the time.

As soon as people have time, they will study all kinds of plants, and they can only devote part of their time to memorizing a few varieties at most, of course, they can't compare to other people's stupid research.

And I'm basically looking at the varieties that have been classified, more valuable and common, and I haven't seen this chrysanthemum-like variety yet.

There is no way, there are many things on her, and there are thousands of plants and varieties, and it is impossible to be an encyclopedia in such a situation.

After everyone asked me one by one, I heard Li Hong'e explain to them, "The seeds in this flower plate are the melon seeds sold outside!"

The name of this flower is the sunflower, and as the name suggests, its flower disc usually faces the sun, which is why when the sun comes out, they are so neatly aligned to meet the sun.

The sun is also at its most brilliant at this time, and they are at their fullest and most blooming, which is why we see this scene.

Of course, it also has a name called sunflower, and the sunflower seeds in the flower plate that everyone thinks are a little darker, and after the sunflower seeds are fried, they are melon seeds. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be melon seeds, I'll take a look."

"I also learned that the melon seeds actually grow in the heart of a flower similar to a chrysanthemum."

After that, many people went to fold a flower plate and studied it themselves.

Others looked closely at the sunflower seeds in her palm.

Really.

But some people were puzzled, so they couldn't help but say to Li Hong'e, "But, but these melon seeds are not expensive, even if they are fried melon seeds, they are only eight or nine dollars a pound on the market, and our pecans are dozens of pounds better for the Zheng family, let alone sell them."

With such a price, it shouldn't be able to sell for much silver, right? Although quantity can make up for quality, can we pick sunflower seeds for more than 40 taels of silver? ”

"Oh yes."

Hearing her say this, the other team members also thought about this problem.

Then everyone heard Li Hong'e give them science popularization again, "Zhen, this is not the case, although melon seeds are indeed much cheaper than pecans, but the production process of this pecan is complicated, and how many pecans can be produced in the end from a pound of green fruits with pu husks?"

We had more than 60,000 catties of green fruits before, and the last pecans were less than 10,000 catties.

And this sunflower seed is different, when it is suitable for harvesting, the water in the whole flower plate and sunflower seeds is much less, a pound of raw sunflower seeds can produce seven or eight taels of melon seeds, and the proportion of sunflower seeds in a flower plate is also large.

The most important thing is that there is no danger in picking sunflower seeds, even if we pick them all day, they will not attract wild animals, and these sunflower seeds are very easy to pick. ”

Then, I saw her reach out and pick a sunflower with a darker color inside the flower plate, and carried the weight in her hand, and said to the people, "You see, how heavy is the weight of this flower, even if we can't pick tens of thousands of catties, we can have seven or eight thousand catties, which is much easier than beating fruits."

For example, let's pick a whole day, and finally pick a load back, then the rest can pick a good day, with our footsteps, if we don't do anything else, it's no problem to pick two loads a day, and everyone can be full.

Now we are all enlighteners, and our strength is much greater, and it is no problem to pick a burden of six or seven hundred catties, let's count it as six hundred catties per person, close to two loads a day, even if it is a thousand catties, even if one catty of melon seeds can be sold for three cents, then there are three taels of silver.

There are so many of us, we can always have more than fifty taels of silver a day, right? The follow-up expenses are also some labor costs and ingredient costs, etc., which are always limited.

It's still more cost-effective than our hunting, and the most important thing is safety, at least you don't have to face ferocious beasts, don't you? ”

This calculation seems to be right, and if you can earn more money every day, there will be no doubts from the team members.

Xue Langjing also weighed it in her heart, picking sunflower seeds is indeed more cost-effective than hunting, although it may be a few taels more every day, and there are still a lot of things to do in the future, but who made her lack of silver to buy equipment, if she can have one or two more, she can prepare the silver earlier.

Moreover, this so-called follow-up is not a trouble for her, but an opportunity.

Why is it an opportunity?

It's because she has another consideration in mind.

The amount of sunflower seeds is so huge that it occupies almost the entire low mountain col, and I don't know how long it took to breed to form the current scale, and now it is cheaper.

With such a huge amount of sunflower seeds, the amount of labor required for subsequent seed peeling and frying is also very large.

Then their Xue family will be able to recruit a large number of villagers to work, which is a small income for the villagers, which is a great thing.

Of course, don't think that she is helping the villagers out of compassion, in fact, she is selling good to the villagers and doing favors.

As for how this favor should be done?

She can't do this yet, but it will be very useful anyway.

You know, a job like peeling melon seeds, which anyone can do, is much simpler than reclaiming the mountains.

It just so happened that when planting fruit seeds this time, they only selected some of the strong young and middle-aged laborers, or people with more planting experience.

And what about the other villagers who want to work?

If they can't choose, it means that they have no extra income, and they can only watch others earn money, and their hearts will be somewhat unbalanced.

It just so happened that their Xue family had the business of melon seeds, and they could let the villagers find a job to do, so they could naturally exchange their gratitude and favor.

In fact, even if it's not to ask for favors, it's a good thing to simply drive the villagers to make a fortune together.

Wasn't it before, her life principle is to help both the good and the poor.

As long as there is no loss to her own family, she can still gain respect and gratitude, and she does not bring out some white-eyed wolves, she is still more willing to let others follow suit, which is simply a win-win situation.

And only if everyone is rich and their own family gives them kindness, then the villagers will have a lot less coveting and blushing for their own family, and they can develop their own family with more peace of mind.

After all, there are still a lot of people who hate the rich these years, especially if you were originally as poor as him, and you became rich in a blink of an eye, and he himself is still at the original level.

When people become jealous, it is really bad to do something, especially when there is such a large crowd of forgiveness.

So the last time the Xue family sold pecans, they publicized that the money was earned by the Zheng family.

In addition, she also had an idea in her mind to harvest this sunflower in advance to save herself some time.

So how do you do that?

Hire other hunters, or some young laborers.

Especially those ordinary hunters, they are actually the same as the original her, when they are alone on the mountain, they don't have an income of about 100 yuan a day, and they only have more when they participate in group hunting, and every time they can have a harvest of a few hundred yuan, it is not only cost-effective, but also easy to invite.
