Chapter 253: old house to flower shed
Yang Chunming and others are all farmers, and most of their relatives are old farmers. They don’t have enough connections, so it is difficult to find more Clivia seedlings.
But Guo Shouye is different. He is in the forestry system and has acquaintances in forestry bureaus in various places.
If Guo Shouye can help, the acquisition of Clivia seedlings will be easier.
"Clivia? What do you want that thing for?"
Guo Shouye doesn\'t quite understand Xu Shiyan\'s meaning, it\'s okay to be idle, and accept Clivia seedlings? What\'s the use of that thing?
"Brother, I plan to start a Clivia flower company, and I can find a way to sell it, but now I am short of flower seedlings.
I entrusted many people to help me find out. I wonder how many people I know, so I can ask for help when I have time.
Especially our county belongs to several other bureaus, or elsewhere.
If you want to inquire, you just need to tell me the address, and I will figure out the rest. "
Please ask others for help, then you have to speak clearly, it is useless to hide it.
As for Guo Shouye helping harvest flower seedlings, will he spread the news? Others will learn from it.
Xu Shiyan is not worried about this.
What does he do with this? It is incomparable with those big households who raise Clivia, and it is not a drop in the bucket.
Clivia was designated as the city flower in 1984, and there were dozens of flower companies in the provincial capital all of a sudden, looking for flower seedlings from all over the country.
Xu Shiyan doesn\'t know if he can make waves with this little capital, so what are you afraid of?
He just took advantage of his rebirth to earn a little money to spend.
"Flower company? You can really think, this thing is not easy to play with, you should be careful.
Yes, it\'s easy. My sister-in-law\'s natal family belongs to the Lushuihe Forestry Bureau, and her relatives also live in Quanyang, Linjiang, and Sanchazi.
It’s just about Chinese New Year, when the time comes to visit relatives, I’ll help you find out. "
When Guo Shouye heard it, it was not difficult for him to deal with such a trivial matter.
"Hey, thank you brother, you have helped me a lot.
Well, brother, I just came back yesterday, and there are a lot of things at home, so I will come to talk to my brother another day. "
Xu Shiyan saw that it was not too long before he came out, and he hadn\'t gone to see the farm yet, so he hurriedly told Guo Shouye, left the bureau building and went home first.
There is indeed a lot of work at home, and the three houses in the east end have to be cleaned up.
The kang was removed, the north and south were surrounded by fire walls, and a stove was needed in the middle of the ground.
Winter is cold, Clivia needs a certain temperature to grow, if it is too cold, it will not grow at all.
In addition to this, we have to build a flower stand.
If you want to grow more flowers, you must use the space effectively. Just placing one layer on the ground is too wasteful of space.
I made an agreement with Huang Shengli and the others yesterday, and we will do these tasks together.
In the morning, Huang Shengli, Sun Xiaofeng and others came over, first removed the kang, and piled the adobe and the soil on the kang in the middle of the ground.
After the cleaning is completed, smash the adobe and mud to use it for the wall of fire.
When Xu Shiyan arrived home, Huang Shengli and the others were all disgraced, and they were dumping soil from the Kang cave.
"Third brother, alas, you are back, your kang has been plagued by rats, and the rats are nesting in the kang hole.
This is due to the removal of the kang. If it was directly set on the fire, there would be smoke everywhere and choke to death. "
Zhao Jianshe\'s face was covered with black ash, and his body was also covered with black and gray.
The three old houses in Dongtou have been vacant for a long time. Xu Shiyan planned to renovate when he had the opportunity, so he didn\'t care.
Once the house is idle, it will definitely break down quickly. If there is no fire on the kang, it is normal for there to be rats inside.
Xu Shiyan walked into the house and took a look. The kangs in the east and west rooms were removed, and the stove in the outer room was also removed.
In this way, the room looks very empty, leaving enough space for flowers.
"Well, okay, it\'s good like this, brothers, you have worked hard. I will go back to the house and change clothes later, and come to work."
Xu Shiyan can still be idle about his own affairs?
So I went back to the house and changed into a piece of rags for work, and together with Zhao Jianshe and others, cleaned up the old house inside and out.
All the unnecessary things were cleaned up, and the excess adobe was piled up outside.
After the house is cleaned up, start smashing adobes, kneading mud, setting up fire walls, and setting up stoves.
Xu Shiyan led the people to work on this side, while Xu Chenghou rummaged for wood to help make flower shelves.
After all the houses were tidied up, the fire walls were fired and dried, and the flower shelves were installed, the three old houses were transformed into flower sheds.
After five or six days of work, the flower shed was finally finished.
When everything is ready here, each family will hand over the collected seeds to Su Anying and Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiqin has nothing to do to recuperate at home. She is an expert in raising Clivia, so she happened to come to help.
Xu Shiyan handed over the flower shed to his wife and sister. He has to work on the farm. This year\'s musk hasn\'t been picked yet.
Generally speaking, non-species musk musk can be harvested from October to March of the following year.
For musk deer breeding, the mating period should be staggered, and the musks should be harvested in September to October, or after December.
Autumn is too busy to take care of it. As soon as winter comes, Xu Shiyan goes out to the provincial capital again. After such a delay, it will be delayed until the end of January and the beginning of February.
Don\'t pick too much incense in the sachet, it is easy to form big lumps, and musk deer will suffer when picking incense.
Male musk deer will only secrete musk after two years. Three to ten years is the peak period of fragrance production, and basically no fragrance will be produced after fifteen years.
There are 15 adult male musk deer in the breeding farm, and each musk deer can take 15 to 20 grams of incense.
Take the musk and send it to Tonghua Medicinal Materials Purchase Station. Xu Shiyan signed a purchase agreement with them, and the musk and velvet produced every year will be sold to the other party at the market price.
This crop of musk alone can earn a small 10,000 yuan.
After a few years, those young musk deer will grow up, the scale of the farm will expand, and the profit will be more.
As wild musk deer becomes less and less, musk will become more and more expensive.
When Xu Shiyan came back from Tonghua, it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year.
And the things he mailed from the provincial capital finally arrived at the local post office.
Xu Shiyan pushed a cart to the post office and picked up several packages.
Fortunately, everything was well preserved, especially the box of books, which was sealed up very firmly, without falling apart or being lost.
I moved the things home, and Xu Shiyan didn\'t bother to dismantle them, so let\'s pile them up in the West Room first.
It was the box of books that I couldn\'t wait to open.
When I was in the provincial capital, I was in a hurry, and I didn’t even look at the books. I only heard from Mr. Chu that some of them belonged to his family, and the other were textbooks from the Agricultural University.
Xu Shiyan took the books out of the box one by one, sorted them, and put them on the bookshelf in the east room.
As a result, halfway through the arrangement, I found that there were several manuscripts inside, all written by Mr. Chu himself.
There are medical records of Mr. Chu who practiced medicine over the years, and there is another book, which is actually a secret recipe handed down by the Chu family.
The Chu family has practiced medicine for generations, and their ancestors even had imperial doctors. The secret recipe can be said to be a treasure, and its value is immeasurable.
Xu Shiyan was so frightened that his hands trembled, the manuscript almost fell out of his hands, and a letter inside fell out.
Tomorrow, it will still be updated on time at 7 o\'clock. Thank you for your support. More genuine books are available on the Qidian Chinese website.
