cool summer [farming]

Perhaps because of something on his mind, Fu Juyan woke up early the next day, and he woke up Ge Zhengxiu: "Let's go after eating something, the weather is hot, let's take advantage of the coolness."

Ge Zhengxiu was not annoyed when he woke him up, and got dressed quietly.

Someone got up earlier than the two of them. Yang Qiaorong was already tidying up in the yard at this time. Seeing them, she asked, "Why do you get up so early?"

Fu Juyan replied: "I want to go to the mountain to pick something, and let Brother Zhengxiu accompany me." Since yesterday, both of them seem to have acquiesced in Fu Juyan's name for a man.

"Then I'll warm up yesterday's meal, and you can go after eating."

After they ate some food, they set off with two backpacks, one big and one small, on their backs.Before leaving, Ge Zhengxiu asked his sister-in-law to tell Aunt Wang that he was going to the mountains today, and Wang Dashi was busy in the fields alone.But originally the field was almost done, and Wang Dashi could have finished it today without him.

Ge Zhengxiu was very familiar with the mountains. As soon as the two went up the mountain, Fu Juyan was grabbed by his wrist and set off to the destination.Fu Juyan was not familiar with the mountains and didn't care.

Fu Juyan thought of Ge Zhengxiu's prey, and asked curiously: "I see that you have a lot of prey in the mountains once, and you can make a lot of money by selling them. How can Brother Dashi's family pay...?"

Ge Zhengxiu: "It's not always possible to hunt so many. This time it was because I happened to catch a few mangos. The mango skin is a good material for making furs and has always been sold at a high price. Other wild animals are It's not that valuable." Moreover, hunting is not without dangers, this time they kept guard for two days and one night, and Yu Ping was almost injured before hunting the three mountain lepers.

These, he did not intend to say.

Fu Juyan nodded and stopped asking.As he walked, he paid attention to the vegetation on the ground and around him, expecting to find something, and sure enough, he found something good, "What is that! Ginseng?"

He ran over, dug into the soil with stones, and said happily, "Come on! It's really ginseng!"

Ge Zhengxiu was also very surprised, he didn't expect Fu Juyan to be so lucky, "Don't move, I'll do it."

"All right."

Ge Zhengxiu slowly dug out a whole ginseng root, and the two of them were a little surprised when they saw it. Such a big tree was at least 200 years old.

"Keep it! Eat it yourself." Fu Juyan said decisively.This kind of thing is hard to come by, so it's a pity to take it out and sell it.

Ge Zhengxiu didn't object, "Okay."

Fu Juyan narrowed his eyes with a smile, and while Ge Zhengxiu wasn't paying attention, he quietly pinched a section of root and threw it into the space.This is wild, and it is not the same concept as the artificial goods of later generations.

In addition, there are many wild fruits, fungi, and bamboo shoots on the mountain. Fu Juyan couldn't bear it, so he picked some mushrooms and dug some bamboo shoots.The wild fruit was really sour. He took a bite and his teeth were going to be sour. But the wild hawthorn can be used to make candied haws, so he picked some.

The two walked up the mountain path and stopped for about an hour. Even though Fu Juyan had been drinking Lingquan water for the past two days, and secretly poured a lot of water into the cooking water of Mrs. Wang's house, she was a little tired at this time Well, this body is in a bad foundation, and I really can't take care of it for a while.

"Isn't it here yet?"

"Hurry up, watch your step."

"How long?"

"Go another quarter of an hour."

Fu Juyan's face was broken, the sun was gradually coming up, and he was sweating profusely after walking such a long distance. The excitement at the beginning passed away, and he felt tired and thirsty. He took out the water bottle, took a big gulp himself, and handed it to Ge Zhengxiu, "Drink some water." The family is poor, and there is only this kettle, so he can't be poor.

Ge Zhengxiu took a sip of the drink, only to feel a coolness hit his forehead, and immediately felt refreshed, and the stuffy feeling was swept away. He opened his eyes slightly, and the deep eyes were full of surprise, thinking of the two people before. Conversation, pursed thin lips, did not ask anything.

"Damn it! Peppermint?! It's such a big piece, Ge Zhengxiu, let's post it!"

Ge Zhengxiu saw him running over so boldly, quickly put on the cork and chased after him, "Be careful where you step, the ground over there is slippery!"

Fu Juyan took off a mint leaf and tasted it, and his eyes narrowed immediately. The taste was very refreshing, and the slight bitterness of mint was revealed in the silky coolness. Before he had time to recollect, Ye Zi was pulled out of his mouth by Ge Zhengxiu.

Ge Zhengxiu looked at the remaining tattered half of the leaves, and his expression changed, "Who told you to eat it!"

Many things in the mountains are poisonous, and they dare not touch things they have never seen before, but this guy dares to pick them up and put them in his mouth!

Sensing Ge Zhengxiu's anger, Fu Juyan recalled the last time he was walked in the street with his neck pinched, so he quickly put his hands up in a gesture of surrender, "It's okay, I've eaten it, it's fine!"

Ge Zhengxiu had a headache. After all, he was still a 16-year-old boy. No matter how mature and steady he usually behaved, there was a side of escape. He couldn't tell how much helplessness and dumbfounding he had in his headache. , eat whatever you want, don’t expect me to take you up the mountain.”

When Fu Juyan heard it, it was worth it!Repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it in the future. I won't walk around indiscriminately again."

Ge Zhengxiu's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Follow me, there is a swamp in this area, don't step into it."

Only then did Fu Juyan recall that the mint seemed to grow on the wet ground beside the water.He looked around, and sure enough, he found a swamp covered by weeds not far away, reflecting sparkling light under the fragmented sunlight.He couldn't help being startled, and suddenly felt a little scared. If he accidentally rushed in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I couldn't help being glad that there was an experienced person by my side, and the trace of anger that had arisen because of Ge Zhengxiu's cold words just now dissipated.

But, that's mint!What do you lack the most at this time?Isn't it something cool and refreshing?The stems and leaves of mint can be eaten, and there are many ways to make them. As long as he introduces a series of ways to make mint, he will not worry about making money!

It took too long to make scented tea. He was thinking about making some snacks to make money before the scented tea was produced. Now that he has mint, he doesn't need to think about that at all. He is sure that the people of Dongling Kingdom will like this mint!

He glanced at Ge Zhengxiu who was walking ahead with a stinky face, and tentatively said, "Then can you pick some for me? This is very useful and delicious! I promise!"

Ge Zhengxiu grabbed his wrist and brought him under a big tree, pointing to a big rock under the tree, "Sit there and wait."

Carrying a bamboo basket, he went to pick mint leaves. Fu Juyan sat on the stone, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help commanding, "Pick all the leaves and stems! Don't use the roots, let it continue to grow, and you can pick more in the future." Pick some! Fill the basket halfway, no, fill it up!"

Ge Zhengxiu was not annoyed either, he basked in the sun and let him command, but he didn't listen to his words, he only picked half a basket of leaves and came down, and said lightly: "No one comes here, and no one knows how to eat... mint, you I want to come again.”

Fu Juyan was a little reconciled, but he couldn't fit the hawthorn, bamboo shoots and mushrooms in his small basket.He had no choice but to comfort himself that Ge Zhengxiu had a lot of half-baskets in his back basket, which was enough for him to try all the food he could think of.

He took out a few leaves and found that these mint leaves were all purple-veined, purple-stemmed mint with a high menthol content, no wonder it tasted so refreshing.

He took a piece and handed it to Ge Zhengxiu, "Try it, I'm sure you'll like it. Ann! It's not poisonous, and many people have eaten it."

Ge Zhengxiu pursed his lips, put the leaves in his mouth, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes immediately opened up, "It's very cold!"

"Of course, this thing is absolutely refreshing to soak in water in summer! You can also make a lot of food, it's cool, and it's guaranteed to be delicious."

The surprise in Ge Zhengxiu's eyes still persisted, and he finally agreed with Fu Juyan, "What are you going to use it for?"

"Well, now I prefer to make these into mint tea, which is good for preservation. It's just that these mints are still a bit small, have you seen them before?"

Ge Zhengxiu shook his head, "I've only seen it here."

The two continued to walk forward while talking.

Fu Juyan thought for a while, "Since it is here, there must be other places. We can call everyone to buy it."

"Acquisition?"

"Yes, for a certain amount of wages, as long as the village knows where to find it, they can pick it up and sell it to us. But once mint is discovered, its uses will be developed soon, so we don't announce it yet, to seize the opportunity Say it again."

Ge Zhengxiu understood this sentence. Mint has such an obvious characteristic, what they can make, others can do as well, but they can make this first one before others.

"Okay, listen to you."

The two continued to move forward. Fu Juyan was now full of affection for this Luoxia Mountain, and he couldn't help but look forward to discovering more good things.

"Here we are." Ge Zhengxiu said standing on a sea of ​​white flowers.

Fu Juyan next to him was already dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the 20-acre area of ​​white jasmine. As early as when the fragrance of jasmine came from afar, he knew that there must be a lot of jasmine Ge Zhengxiu mentioned. , but did not expect so many!

The white flowers are swaying in the breeze, with a strong fragrance. Under the sun, the budding jasmine flowers seem to have turned into pieces of silver, waving to him.Fu Juyan sucked in his saliva, and suddenly felt his mouth dry. He tugged at Ge Zhengxiu's sleeve, and said anxiously, "These flowers must not be discovered! I want them all!"

Ge Zhengxiu had a slight smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, no one comes here. These flowers and mint are all yours, and no one will snatch them from you."

Fu Juyan was still worried, "I will rely on this for all the jasmine tea I make in the future, you must keep this place for me!"

Ge Zhengxiu saw him looking up at him longingly, moved his hands, and finally couldn't help touching the fluffy head, and comforted him: "Don't worry, after our house is completed, you can come here anytime you want." You can even buy this mountain.”

"Okay, then let's make money quickly and buy mountains!"

Fu Juyan didn't know the land price here at all. In his opinion, such a large mountain with so many treasures on it must be very expensive.

Ge Zhengxiu didn't intend to tell him the truth, he just said: "Well, buy it if you have money."

He has already seen that although Fu Juyan is not unfamiliar with the prices here, his reaction is very slow. Sometimes he feels that in the eyes of Fu Juyan, one tael of silver is no different from a penny, and a piece of clothes of one tael has even been sold He called it cheap.I really don't know how he lived before.
