Chapter 122 No matter how much you count
When the shopkeeper Lin Feng heard Su Jin's opening, he knew that this was a very stable, reliable and measured person, and he felt more at ease, he smiled and nodded again and again: "Okay, Madam Su is thoughtful! Just follow Madam Su's idea and plant the seeds first. Honeysuckle, and then slowly increase!"
Today, there are too few farmers in the world who grow medicinal herbs. No matter what medicinal herbs are, they never worry about the market.
Su Jin smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll tell the villagers when I go back! How many seeds are needed, I'll have to ask Manager Lin to help!"
The shopkeeper Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "That's natural!"
After he said that, he changed the subject, "I have something else I would like to ask Madam Su to teach me. If Madam Su can clear up her doubts, the Lin family will be rewarded heavily."
Su Jin raised his eyes when he heard the words: "Manager Lin might as well say it bluntly, Su Jin knows everything, but he doesn't dare to take the remuneration!"
Shopkeeper Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Our Lin family wants to grow Dendrobium in the medicine house. Madam Su knows that this Dendrobium grows on the humid and warm cliffs with half shade and half sun, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate artificially. I don't know Madam Su. Is there any way?"
Dendrobium can benefit the stomach and promote fluid, nourish yin and clear away heat. It is very effective for Yin injury and fluid loss, dry mouth and polydipsia, retching due to lack of food, deficiency and heat after illness, and dark eyesight. The same is true in ancient times.
The Lin family really has a long-term vision. All they invest in cultivating are expensive things. Once the cultivation is successful, the profits will be very considerable.
Su Jin smiled and said: "The growth of this medicinal material needs to be based on its nature, otherwise it will not be said if it grows or not. Even if it grows, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine, and even become useless! As long as the medicinal material is cultivated, said Difficulty is difficult, easy to say is also easy, it just depends on the nature of the medicinal material. Dendrobium likes moist and warm, half yin and half yang, so give it a moist and warm, half yin and half yang environment!”
Su Jin said two methods, which are both methods used in later generations.
One is the plastering method. On the selected large stone, dig holes at a distance of about 30 cm, fill it with thin mud mixed with cow dung, plant Dendrobium seedlings, and fix it with small stones, so as to be stable and not fall off.
Also, the selected stones cannot be bare stones. First, a thick layer of moss must be planted on the stones, and there must be a layer of humus soil. This moss layer needs to be kept moist all the time.
For a family that is good at planting medicinal herbs, this is easy to do.
Another way is to stick trees. As the name implies, on the selected tree, cut off a part of the bark according to 30~40 cm, apply a thin layer of cow dung and mud mixture to the seedlings wrapped in mud, and then insert it into the broken bark or cracked groove. Close to the bark, and then cover it with a layer of straw.
It also needs to be kept moist, watered diligently, and kept in the right amount of sunlight.
This tree species is not suitable for any kind of tree. It is best to choose trees such as yellow saffron, pear, camphor, etc. These trees can coexist well with Dendrobium.
"I won't say much about the big environment. The temperature needs to ensure that it does not freeze in winter, and the air should be kept moist. You can clearly feel the moistness in your breath. It is best to use thatch, bamboo and wood to surround the surrounding area. A light-transmitting shed makes it easier to moisturize.”
If it is modern, it can be more accurate, the air humidity is kept above 80%, and the temperature in winter is above 0℃.
But in this ancient times, it can only rely on groping.
"Manager Lin can go back and give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will work!" Su Jin finally said with a smile.
For this reason, the shopkeeper Lin Feng was a little dumbfounded, and sighed with emotion: "Miss Su is indeed a lady Su, she is really knowledgeable! The seniors in our family thought of trying to plant on the stone wall. , but the effect is not good, most of them can't grow up, even if they do, they are too thin and weak, and they can't be used as medicine at all, Madam Su has helped us a lot!"
Su Jin smiled and said, "Don't be too busy praising me, it's hard to say whether it will work or not!"
Lin Feng, the shopkeeper, laughed: "This old man is not a confused old man. After all, he has been dealing with medicinal herbs all his life. Can he be so heartless? Madam Su is too modest!"
Manager Lin Feng took a palm-sized brocade box that had already been placed on the high table beside him, pushed it gently in front of Su Jin, and said with a smile, "A little thought is worth nothing, Mrs. Su, don't be polite. I'm afraid that there will be a time when we need to trouble Mrs. Su!"
This is sincere, Su Jin thought about it, then accepted it generously, smiled and thanked: "You always said so, I will accept it!"
The matter of planting honeysuckle was negotiated, and Su Jin said goodbye and left.
When he returned home, he opened the brocade box and saw that there were two silver notes of one hundred taels each. Su Jin couldn't help but smile.
The shopkeeper Lin Feng really understood them very well and knew that they were poor, so he simply gave them a silver note.
However, this gift was really delivered to Su Jin's heart, right in his arms.
She and Qin Lang are just short of money!
To the rich and powerful Lin family, two hundred taels of silver is nothing, but to them, two hundred taels can do a lot of things.
Su Jinzheng was about to go to Lizheng's house to tell Lizheng about planting medicinal herbs, and asked Lizheng to announce in the village that Grandma Yang San, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and six or seven women at the west end of the village suddenly came to Aunt Song's house to find her.
This Su Jin glanced over, all of them were people who only knew their names on weekdays, had met once or twice, or had never seen them at all, and she also knew a little about the reputation of Yang San's grandmother.
When he saw them, he immediately became vigilant, secretly surprised, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with Grandma Yang San and your aunts and sisters?"
She really doesn't understand, what connection can she have with them?
Why did this large group of people find her!
Don't talk about her, Aunt Song and Mrs. Yu were also very puzzled, and smiled and invited everyone to sit down, accompanied by full of suspicion, for fear that Su Jin would suffer.
All the women responded to Su Jin's words with smiling faces, even inadvertently showing a bit of flattery and being careful.
Su Jin was taken aback and hurriedly smiled: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, if you have something to say, please speak up!"
Everyone agreed with "hey, hey" smiles, and all looked at Grandma Yang San.
Grandma Yang San smacked her shriveled mouth, with a big smile on her wrinkled old face, and smiled at Su Jin: "So what, Mrs Su, we still have some Ophiopogon japonicus here, which are dried by ourselves, or else You took it all and took it to the city hospital to sell it! It's dry and dry, okay, how can we from the villagers do that embarrassing thing for you, right? We don't know each other in the city. , just do us a favor! Didn't the city medical clinic charge 36 cents a pound? We only need 35 cents, and one cent is free for you! This is a good thing to pick up money for nothing, Haha, no matter how you count it, you're not at a loss!"
