Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 11 Rice from Qinghuai and Flowers from Peach Mountain

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the rebirth of people like Li Muyang would actually be a big disadvantage.

In his previous life, when he had nothing to do, he read novels and saw many stories about reborn characters.

Others who have been reborn or traveled to another world are very powerful and have done many great things in the world.It's like being reborn, people seem to have become smarter, their IQs have improved a lot, and they can also bring all kinds of fancy systems, which are very convenient.

But Li Muyang had nothing.

The night he was reborn, he was lying in the sweet potato field thinking about the skills he could use, and found that apart from being able to plant fruit trees, he really didn't have any other abilities.

He has lived his whole life in a small environment, either farming at home or cultivating fruit trees in a nursery. The outside world is huge, but to him it is like a story in a TV series, familiar but unfamiliar.

He only knows some very big things, such as housing prices going up and stocks going up. He doesn’t know anything about other industries.

Trying to use that information to make money will undoubtedly not work. He still doesn't understand what stocks are. He knows about food stamps, meal stamps, and meat stamps, but he doesn't understand stocks at all.

It's not like a person with little ability suddenly becomes outstandingly capable after reliving his life. That's impossible.

If this is the case, for the living people, getting up every morning is equivalent to being reborn. How many people are wiser today than yesterday.

The greatest benefit of rebirth is experience and life mentality.

When you are young, you have a mature and stable mentality and a lifetime of experience and skills. These are the core conveniences for people.

It's like a college student suddenly returns to the time when he was a primary school student. His knowledge, examination mentality, and learning mentality are stronger, and he also knows how to study independently. Compared with a group of primary school students, his performance will definitely be far better than them.

Li Muyang felt that he was.

The life plan he envisioned was to develop fruit tree cultivation, use the tens of thousands of acres of mountain resources in Guozi Mountain, and use his own knowledge to gradually develop a route suitable for his new life.

hmm~
Li Muyang was thinking about the grand blueprint for the future, but he forgot to look at the river at his feet. He walked across the Sanmu Bridge and stood halfway up the Western Mountain without realizing it.

There is no difference in the topography and soil composition between Xishan and Guoziling, but the trees on Xishan are all based on locust trees.

It's the kind of green locust tree without thorns.

At that time, Yong'an County's development idea was to rely on the mountains to develop economic tree species.

The flowers of Sophora japonica are a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. When soaked in water and drunk, they can cool blood and stop bleeding, clear liver and purge fire, and have a bunch of other effects.

Therefore, during the flowering period from June to August every year, you can harvest the Sophora japonica flowers, dry them, and sell them for money. The flowers are very expensive, and can be sold for more than ten yuan per kilogram. If the flowers are good, they can even be sold for more than 6 yuan.

But please note that these are the flowers of acacia, not the flowers of acacia.

The flowers of acacia are like a bunch of millet grains, while the flowers of acacia are like strings of small bells.The flowers of Sophora japonica are off-white, while those of Sophora japonica are more snow-white.

People in the mountains like to use acacia flowers to make all kinds of delicious things.

For example, sophora flower cakes, sophora flower steamed buns, steamed sophora flower dumplings, making sophora flower dough balls, etc. Anyway, they are methods that can be developed and have been developed.

The flowers of Sophora japonica have a bitter taste and are inedible.

The flowers of acacia have a faint fragrance, and taste a little sweet in the fragrance, which is quite delicious.

Just don't eat too much. If you eat too much, the sweetness will accumulate and make you a little nauseous.

It probably feels similar to sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Yong'an County's policy is to plant locust trees and then pick locust rice seeds (flowers of the locust trees), while Chi County is thinking of planting various fruit trees and selling the fruits to make money.

The governments on both sides have good intentions, but their good wishes have come to nothing.

Many fruits in Chi County do not bear fruit, and the locust trees in Yong'an County do not bloom well.

Every year, small flower clusters hang sparsely on the top of the tree, which are very difficult and dangerous to pick.Of course Li Muyang now knows that the reason why the Sophora japonica does not bloom is because there is a rare aphid on the Western Mountain.

They attach to the locust tree and suck away too much nutrients from the locust tree. As a result, the locust tree has no extra energy to bloom, and can only keep the most dominant part at the top, which means it is symbolic to bloom some small flowers.

This aphid is very troublesome.

It can be eliminated by spraying pesticides, but in this era of farming... In other words, people farming in Qingyang have never had the habit of spraying pesticides.

People subconsciously believe that when pesticides are sprayed on plants, they are poisoned. No matter how you do it, part of it will eventually enter the body.

In addition, pesticides also cost money. If the production in the fields decreases, you may not even be able to earn back the money for pesticides.

Therefore, in many places in Qingyang, if you see fruits, cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables on the roadside, you can pick them and eat them directly without worrying about pesticide residues.

Everyone is accustomed to relying on God for harvest.

If the rain is good, then collect more. If the Dragon King does not open his eyes, then collect less.

If the pest infestation is light, harvest more; if the pest infestation is serious, harvest less.

If it’s too much, eat more; if it’s too little, eat less.

This is the Buddhist lifestyle.

The crops and vegetables in the fields don't know how to spray pesticides, let alone the locust trees. Who would even think about spraying them?

Anyway, many years have passed, and the locust tree has grown from the thickness of a finger to the thickness of a human body, and it has not played much role as an economic tree species.

Gradually, people gave up their illusions about it.

Li Muyang looked at the green locust trees all over the mountains and fields, and thought that if these locust trees could be harvested, one tree would be enough to pick two or three kilograms of locust rice.

One pound is sold at the lowest price, which is 15 yuan, which is an income of tens of thousands.

It is very good.

In this era, everyone is very poor.

There are only two households worth ten thousand yuan in the village, namely the village head and the village head's sister-in-law.

Ordinary families, like Li Muyang’s family, would find it difficult to come up with a hundred yuan, let alone ten thousand yuan.

In his previous life, Li Muyang had stood on Taoshan Mountain and seen the locust trees here countless times. He didn't understand at the time and wondered why these locust trees didn't bear locust seeds. They were growing in vain on the other side, taking up space.

Now that I understand the knowledge, I feel itchy in my heart.

If we can capture this mountain later, wouldn't the income be huge?

As he thought about it, Li Muyang couldn't help but have a silly smile on his face.

It was as if the white sophora rice had been placed in front of me to dry, waiting to be sold for big money.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo~"

A crisp call of a cuckoo awoke Li Muyang from his daydreams. He suddenly looked up and found that it was already late, the sun had already risen, and he couldn't see a hair of Cordyceps sinensis.

He quickly said goodbye to the locust tree and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.

Cordyceps likes cool places and does not like to bask in the sun, but it also does not like a lot of water. It usually lives on the western or northern slopes of mountains. The southern and eastern slopes are not suitable for places where it can see a lot of sunshine and warmth. These little cuties survive.
