Lu's mother disagreed: "The smell of sulfur is a little unpleasant, but I don't use it much, I only add a little bit to the charcoal fire, what does it matter?" Isn't this how dried bamboo shoots are made? Anyway, when you eat it, you have to soak it in water! The dried bamboo shoots are brown and yellow, the color is good-looking, and they can be sold at a price, otherwise the color is uneven, and it is good to be black, and others are not willing to accept it! ”

Lu Xiaoqing moved her lips and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

Sulfur is poisonous, is it natural to do this for the sake of good color and selling for the price?

The uneven color and the preference for blackening can be solved in other ways, why do you have to smoke it with toxic sulfur?

No wonder, the village is so suitable for the growth of bamboo forests, there are many bamboo forests, but not too many, and they have never been able to form a mature industry, only those small traders who are also not righteous come to buy and cannot attract real big merchants.

How can the things that come out of this way form a word of mouth, and how can they attract real big merchants?

The most terrible thing is that everyone sympathizes with the fourth grandmother, and they all blame the two angry and troublesome buyers, and they don't think there is anything wrong with adding a little sulfur to the charcoal fire where the dried bamboo shoots are smoked.

Can't you eat it anyway? And they don't eat the dead......

She silently thought in her heart, when the golden silk chrysanthemum was ripe and ready to be picked, she also needed to make the flowers into dried flowers, and she would definitely not allow any opportunistic methods to be used. Otherwise, if she is desperate to offend people, she will never allow sales through her channels.

However, even if it is sold through other channels without going through her channels, it will not affect the reputation of the entire village?

What's the difference?

When people talk about it, they will only say that people in such and such a village in such and such a place are hiding traitors, and the golden silk chrysanthemum produced there is unacceptable! No one will distinguish whose family is not whose family's is not.

Lu Xiaoqing sighed secretly, this is really a big problem, how to solve it has to think about it.

"By the way," Lu Xiaoqing suddenly remembered, and hurriedly asked Lu's mother: "Mom, you didn't use sulfur for our bamboo shoots, did you?" ”

"No," Lu's mother said with a smile, "Do you think that the sulfur fell from the sky and you don't need money to buy it?" Why do you want to look so good at home? That's how I spread out in a dustpan and let it dry in the sun, and I didn't even use a charcoal fire. ”

"Oh, that's good." Lu Xiaoqing was helpless and couldn't cry or laugh, the reason why her mother didn't use sulfur was like this, what should she say?

That's it, it's good to not use it anyway! Otherwise, she would have thought of throwing them all away.

You can't be too particular about being a person, but you can't be too unparticular.

"Don't use it in the future, sulfur is toxic, even if it is soaked, it is impossible to eliminate it all, and eating it in the stomach will definitely have an impact on the body." Lu Xiaoqing said.

The family didn't expect this to make money, and Lu's mother didn't care about this, and nodded: "Well, okay." ”

Lu Xiaoqing was not surprised to see that her mother did not refute herself, which showed that she must also agree that sulfur is poisonous. Since she knew, and the big guys in the village must know it, then why did everyone do it? Is it just for the dried bamboo shoots to look good in color and sell at a good price?

Lu Xiaoqing asked the doubts in her heart.

Mother Lu said with a smile: "The sulfur smells so pungent, not to mention whether it is poisonous or not, it is definitely not a good thing!" But it's just a little contaminated, and it can be washed off, so what's the matter? You're just too careful! But I don't blame you, you read a lot, so you care more about this. Besides, alas, everyone's life is not easy, things look good, and it would be good to be able to sell them for a good price! ”

Lu Xiaoqing is really powerless this time, she knows that it is poisonous, but she feels that it doesn't matter if it's just a little bit, it doesn't matter, it's worth it to make a good price.

No one thinks it's wrong.

Aren't rural people creative? Isn't it smart? No!

If you are not smart, you can't come up with this way to appreciate the value of the product. However, this kind of cleverness is better than nothing.

Mother Lu glanced at Lu Xiaoqing, who had a somewhat sullen expression, and suddenly raised her vigilance, and raised her dark eyebrows: "You girl, what are you thinking about in your heart?" Let me tell you, don't you go to another house to tell people that this poisonous is not poisonous, do you know? Don't call people stupid to read! ”

Lu Xiaoqing: "......"

"Got it, Mom." Lu Xiaoqing replied sullenly.

She really wanted to say it, but unfortunately she knew better that no one would listen to her, and once the concept was formed, how could it be so easy to change? What's more, there are interests involved? It's like what my mother said, it's not that she thinks she's nosy and will say that she is stupid to read!

It's July. The golden chrysanthemums in the fields grew even better, and the dark green branches and leaves looked quite spectacular from a distance.

Not long after cutting the seedlings, everyone obeyed Lu Xiaoqing again, inserted bamboo skewers into the ground one by one, and gently tied them with nylon ropes, looking more and more neat and energetic.

Many people in the village like to pass by the fields planted with golden silk chrysanthemums in their leisure time, and a few people will always mention a few words when they gossip together.

For Lu Xiaoqing, everyone is getting more and more convinced.

Even if you don't want to admit it in your mouth, you have to admit it in your heart.

This well-read farmer is different from others!

Look at the posture of this golden silk chrysanthemum in the field, it is much stronger than the monk fruit three years ago. At least it looks like that.

Although some people say sour things, saying that what is good or bad now is all false, and you have to wait until the money really arrives that is the ability! Who knows if there will ever be a day?

There are many people waiting to see that day.

The chickens raised on the mountain also grow very well, the chickens that are more than three months old have grown about one and a half catties, the outstanding ones can be almost two catties, and the small ones are also one catty and two taels.

Under the careful care of Lu Xiaoqing and Lu's mother, no more than ten of the two hundred and sixty chickens died, which can be said to be very powerful.

On weekdays, they are fed chopped vegetable leaves with rice bran, cooked brown rice, corn kernels, a little fish bone meal, and a handful of feed. The stocking area is wide enough, and there is enough space for them to run happily, so that they grow with smooth and bright feathers, and their eyes are clear and bright, so that people are happy when they look at them.

From time to time, people came to see it, and praised it with envy, not to mention how proud Mother Lu was.

It's all sold in the lunar month, and it's all money.

But then in July, Lu's mother's heart began to tug, for fear that a chicken plague would ruin everything.

Lu Xiaoqing comforted her and took precautions with her.

The mother and daughter went to check the barbed wire first. Both of them are careful people, checking inch by inch to see if the prison is firm and whether there will be loopholes.
