Chapter 142 - Golden Orchid

A strong premonition that something good was about to happen rose in his heart, and Ye Hao walked straight to his side and looked up.

In the hazy light, a string of half-opened golden flowers appeared in her field of vision, and then a faint orchid scent struck, causing her to tremble slightly.

She had seen and smelled this kind of flower, and she was sure in an instant that it was most likely the kind of orchid fragrance described by Duan Lao, this kind of seemingly light, but it could cover up the king's breath of all fragrances.

"What kind of orchid is this, why haven't you seen it in the orchid album?" Xia Meng asked restrainedly.

This orchid is attached to the trunk of the yellow cypress tree, the golden inflorescence hangs down from the turquoise leaves, and the huge white root system is exposed to the air.

"This is dendrobium, which belongs to the orchid family." Ye Hao took a photo.

"Dendrobium?"

"Its scientific name is drumstick dendrobium, also known as golden orchid. It cannot grow in the soil, but can only be attached to trees or rock crevices in subtropical rainforests. ”

"It is very demanding on the growing environment, and it grows and reproduces quickly in the right environment, but as long as the growth parameters change, it will quickly become extinct."

Ye Sheng also browsed the literature related to it while quickly extracting the main points, "The main production area of this flower is Yun Province, where it is called plant gold, and it has always been processed into flower tea by the locals. ”

Hearing this, Xia Meng's face was filled with excitement, and his lips trembled slightly unconsciously, "Have we finally found it!" ”

Dozens of days of hard work were not in vain, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

"Looks like what we're looking for." Ye Hao said calmly, "But we need to confirm that it was once abundant here. ”

Her words calmed Xia Meng, if this flower had not been abundant here, and the locals did not have a tradition of using it in tea, then it was just a beautiful mistake.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were also very excited, whether it was the appearance of orchids or Ye Sheng's gaffe.

"Wow, ah, it's over, it's over, I understand when I see the little scientist crying in the arms of the big beauty!"

"Woo woo woo, my year's CP!! My sweet CP!! ”

"It's weird to think about the identity of the prince of the little scientist Ye Group, but he went to do scientific research!"

"Sheng Sheng looks like a baby who lacks love! No wonder you want to recognize a big beauty as a sister! ”

"The people at the bottom are pursuing the material, and the people at the top are pursuing the spirit, obviously the little scientist is a person who is pale and lacking in the spiritual world!"

"Alas, how miserable this is, a big boy actually cries like this, it feels so pitiful to listen to!"

"According to the appearance of the little scientist when he first saw the big beauty, it is estimated that the spirit is very miserable, otherwise he would not have grown into this character."

"In short, he was lucky to meet the big beauty, and he can see that he has changed quite a lot, it is estimated that this rainstorm has completely made him open his heart to the big beauty, right?"

"I just want to know if this orchid is what the great beauty is looking for! It's the fifth day, ahhhh

"Wow! Don't say I don't know, it's the fifth day! Isn't that tomorrow the tea fight meeting begins?! ”

"Hopefully this kind of words are to be found! I hope to catch up with the tea fight! ”

"Have you ever seen this flower?"

In the conference room where the abandoned classroom was turned, there were seven or eight elderly people who had been summoned for a meeting.

Director Su held up the golden orchid that was fixed to the wooden board and asked aloud in dialect.

The old people in the village had been living alone for a long time, and their reactions were very slow, they seemed to be sober and confused looking at the orchid, grinning with a wooden expression that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

Ye Hao clenched her hands, her gaze swept over their thin faces covered with fishnet lines.

"Is this a drumstick flower?" An old lady said expressionlessly.

Ye Hao's heart tightened: "Old man, are you sure this is called a drumstick flower?" Have you seen it?

An old man who smoked a dry cigarette knocked his pipe and said slowly, "It's a drumstick, it's not a rare thing." ”

This old man Ye Hao is very enthusiastic, he is the most sober-minded and expressive old man in the village.

Ye Hao picked up the orchid, walked up to him and squatted down: "Was this flower common in the past?" ”

"It's as common, as common as red and honeysuckle. When we were young, we went up to the mountains to pick them and sell them for money. ”

Ye Hao's breath was a little short: "Who are they sold to?" What is it used for? ”

"There is a tea shop over there in Qihua that collects it, and I don't know what they are for."

Ye Hao asked tightly: "What is the name of that tea shop?" Can you still find a successor? Have you ever drunk that tea? ”

"Oops, how do you remember?" The old man compared his hand to a height of one meter, "People who are a little bigger with sesame mung beans, what kind of tea do they drink?" I can't afford to drink either! ”

Ye Hao sat in a daze, her eyes glowing with light.

Everything fell out, and she finally found the key to solving the mystery of "Lan Xue's Fragrance".

After determining that the golden orchid was the source of the fragrance of orchid snow, Ye Hao returned to the town and Ye Shengxia dreamed of them, screened thirty reliable tea shops, and purchased a number of golden orchid tea for horizontal and vertical comparison.

It's a pity that those dried flowers and are familiar with tea Ye Zhen know that they are greenhouse goods that cannot be used.

As a last resort, she had no choice but to take Ye Sheng and Xia Meng, and the three of them went to the origin of Yun Province.

This season, Yun Province was as dry as a desert, and suddenly came to the Yunnan Mountains from Luoxi, which was very humid, and Ye Sheng's body could not adapt to the huge drop, and he suffered from severe autumn dryness.

He endured the discomfort of dry nasopharynx and itchy skin, and had to accompany Ye Hao to run two dendrobium bases a day, and ran through several main dendrobium producing areas in western Yunxi.

The small city they were in called Jinggu was their last stop in Yun Province.

Jinggu is a blend of mountains and rivers, and the natural ecological environment is maintained very well, and it is the production area of Pu'er and Dendrobium that is thunderous in the industry.

"This is the best Jinlan, 100 yuan and 10 grams, you can taste it." The boss of the Dendrobium base greeted Ye Hao and the three of them warmly.

The boiling water is poured into the glass teapot, and the five golden dried flowers are like fish in water, and after several ups and downs, they are all placed in the cup, and a burst of sweet warm fragrance is steamed, and it enters the nose of Ye Sheng.

He picked up the water glass and took two deep breaths of moisture, the tension on his face and the dryness in his heart were relieved.

Xia Meng took a sip of tea soup, and couldn't help but praise it: "Sister Ye, it's really a matter of comparing goods and throwing them away, compare with this, the flower tea we drank before was all brush pot water." ”

Before coming to Yun Province, Ye Hao had a lot of good imaginations about this trip.

But after running around, she found that almost all the dendrobium here were planted in greenhouses.

Clusters of golden orchids are densely packed in the hot and humid greenhouse, which is extremely fat and strong by chemical fertilizers, and the flowers are thick and colorful, but the fragrance is faint.

There is no trace of fairy wind bones and empty valley orchids. (End of chapter)
