The more the old man Lu looked at it, the more surprised he became, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Deer Antler, Saffron, these are very rare medicinal materials, and they are very expensive, when he went to Western Xinjiang that day, he saw it on the cliff at the top of the mountain at an altitude of four thousand meters.

The blue-white petals and black stamens are extremely rare, and because the location where this snow lotus grows is very dangerous, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus is also called the holy flower by the local ethnic minorities in Western Xinjiang, because it is very good for healing, and the dried snow lotus that An Xia took out has a huge flower head, which is larger than the best snow lotus he has seen in Western Xinjiang.

"Grandpa Lu, do you have a big glass jar at home, this snow lotus should be put in completely, and the mouth of the altar is too small to put in. Snow lotus has the effect of dissipating cold and dehumidifying, warming and replenishing qi and blood, and activating the meridians, so it is the most suitable for soaking in wine. ”

As she spoke, An Xia found that Grandpa Lu was looking at her and didn't speak, "Grandpa Lu, what's wrong?" ”

"Xia Xia, where did you get these medicinal materials, just the flower head of this snow lotus is so big, when I was looking for mines in Western Xinjiang, I had never seen such a big dried snow lotus, where did you come from?"

An Xia knew that if she took out these things today, Grandpa Lu would definitely ask, but fortunately she had already thought of her words, "Grandpa Lu, I had the fate to know an old Chinese medicine doctor, he taught me some Chinese medicine fur, yesterday I went back to the village, and told the old Chinese medicine doctor about your situation, this is the medicine he prepared for you, and those medicinal diets were also given to me by him, he said that you are old, and the liver and kidney are weak and not suitable for drinking Chinese medicine, but it will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, it is better to slowly make up from the medicinal diet, eat for a year and a half, with acupuncture and medicinal wine, it can also relieve the pain, Reduce the number and severity of your pain. ”

"How do you know this person?"

"We have a lot of mountains, once I went up the mountain to collect firewood, I saw him fall to the ground, his foot twisted, I helped him back, he came and went, he lived in a relatively remote place, sometimes I carried water and chopped wood for him, this old Chinese medicine doctor gradually taught me something."

Old Man Lu didn't expect An Xia to have this kind of opportunity, this is just like when he and Lao An, he just rolled down from the mountain, and was cut by sharp stone chips, if Lao An hadn't found him, he would have bled to death, but he didn't expect An Xia to encounter a similar thing today.

Old Man Lu didn't doubt it at all, and immediately believed what An Xia said, which made An Xia feel a little guilty, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't know how to heal out of thin air, she always had to have an explanation.

"Later, I will let Xiao Xie buy a big jar, such a valuable medicinal material, I must thank this old Chinese medicine doctor, so that you can help me send a pot of tea to him, it is a Yunnan black tea that one of my students specially bought from Yunnan, black tea nourishes the stomach."

Although An Xia didn't want to accept it, he was afraid of arousing Grandpa Lu's suspicions, so he nodded and agreed, and Old Man Lu was happy.

"Xia Xia really feels sorry for me, you see that kid Lu Baichuan follows me, he never remembers that my leg hurts, my family Xia Xia is the best for me."

An Xia couldn't help laughing, Lu Baichuan had bought a white wolf skin knee pad for Grandpa Lu back then, and when she saw it in the winter of her previous life, Grandpa Lu also praised Lu Baichuan for his filial piety, how could his mouth become so fast now.

"Grandpa Lu, does Lu Baichuan really care about you?"

Old man Lu thought about it, in fact, his eldest grandson is quite filial, "He is not as good as you compared to you, but he is also very filial on weekdays, knowing that I have old cold legs, when I was a soldier, I specially found a white wolf skin to make a knee pad, and the wind with the knee in winter can't penetrate it, which is much stronger than before." ”

An Xia looked at Grandpa Lu with a smile and explained for a long time, and the pot washed the medicinal herbs a little and spread them on the dining table to dry.

"Sit down for a while, blow the fan, don't look at the end of August, the autumn tiger is coming soon, it's hot."

Old man Lu poured a glass of water for An Xia, pulled An Xia to sit in the living room, An Xia was also thirsty, ate salty in the morning, drank the water in the cup in one go, went to pour another cup himself, and then asked Old Man Lu if he knew seedless melons?

Old Man Lu was stunned for a moment, "Xia Xia, why do you care about this, seedless melon?" I haven't heard of it yet? ”

"Grandpa Lu, I heard a technician who went to the countryside to do agricultural guidance say once, he only said that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is studying seedless melons, and I don't know anyone from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I want to ask if you know anyone in this area."

"Oh, I do know someone from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, why are you asking this?"

An Xia said to Mr. Lu that he wanted to help his fourth uncle grow seedless melons, and planned to sell them before planting them in winter, "Grandpa Lu, there is nothing in our village except the mountains, and every household grows food, but they are just barely surviving, I think that people's living standards are slowly getting better now, focusing on things that are out of season, how rare it is to eat watermelons in winter, if it is still seedless melons, I think people in the city with high incomes are willing to try it."

Then my fourth uncle can make more money, life can be better, watermelon is a cash crop, I think the technician of the agricultural station is right, who said that farmers can only farm, there are more things that can be planted, as long as you find something suitable for yourself, you can make money. ”

Old Man Lu nodded, the four sons of the Lao An family, they also knew that the Lao An family had a hard time, it seems that they are still having a hard time these years, and it would be good if they could change their lives with farming, "You wait, I'll give you a call to ask." ”

Old man Lu flipped out the phone book, found his friend and called, "Xia Xia, you wait, my friend has also retired, but he used to be from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so it's fastest to ask him." ”

"Hmm." An Xia nodded, with hope in her eyes, hoping that the seedless melons of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had been cultivated and could be planted in a large area.

After a while, the phone came to mind, and Grandpa Lu picked it up and talked for more than ten minutes, with a smile on his face getting stronger and stronger, "Okay, okay, I still have to look for you then." ”

Hanging up the phone, An Xia said excitedly: "Grandpa Lu, is there one?" ”

"Which technician did you hear the news from, my old classmate said that this seedless melon was only cultivated by them, and it has been kept secret, and asked me how I know."

An Xia said in her heart, it was because I ate this watermelon in my previous life, "I don't know, I originally went to the agricultural station in the township, but the technician is no longer working there." Grandpa Lu, can my fourth uncle grow this watermelon? ”

Old man Lu shook his head, "Difficult, this seedless melon is now regarded as a fragrant dumpling by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in addition to seedless, it also gathers a few kinds of good watermelons, with thin skin, high moisture and high sweetness, they are ready to find a piece of land to plant in their own test base." ”

"They can also cooperate with farmers and let farmers try planting, if the income is high, it can be regarded as promoting the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Grandpa Lu, can you ask your old classmate to take me to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I will talk to them, I want to try it for the fourth uncle."

"It's no problem to go and see, you see if you want to call your fourth uncle together."

"Is that okay?"

Hearing that she could still organize a group to see it, Anxia was very excited.
