The fresh mushrooms were thick and tender, smooth in texture and fragrant, suitable for all kinds of side dishes.
Qiao Xuan harvested some snow fungus as well. She saved the original to take the spore mycelium and cultivate more.
If all went on like this, there would be a huge harvest of snow fungus soon.
Sweet osmanthus had bloomed as well.
Qiao Xuan had more than 2 mu of sweet osmanthus, and she used some of her superpower to make them grow faster. Those flowers grew faster than ordinary ones, and the flowers were not very huge.
Qiao Xuan was thinking that she should put in some more superpower so the amount could double.
When the flowers were more lively, she was going to place one clean carpet below the tree, shake the flowers and extract oil from them to make lip balms.
Also, she was going to save the extra ones for using them in perfumes.
The sweet osmanthus did not bloom in a large quantity in the floral field, but many people in the village had osmanthus trees planted in the open space in front of their gates, some of which were decades old, with thick branches and cloud-like crowns. People could smell the refreshing floral scent from afar.
Qiao Xuan decided to buy some sweet osmanthuses from those households seeing the flowers blooming there.
The price was 3 wen for half a kilo.
The trees in front of the house meant auspiciousness and could provide shelter. Also, the smell would be nice in autumn. The villagers never expected that they could make money out of it.
The villazers were verv happy about receiving the monev. They all went to Qiao Xuan when they got the news.
They were all trying to be the seller.
Qiao Xuan truly wanted to collect as many sweet osmanthus as possible.
The more essential oils were refined, the better. Osmanthus could also be used to make osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, osmanthus pie, and osmanthus sauce. After drying, it could be used as fillings for various snacks, porridge, and various sugar waters. It could also be added to make tea or wine.
The fresh sweet-scented osmanthus was washed, added to honey and stored in a sealed container. With that, they could get sweet-scented osmanthus honey.
If they had lotus roots, they could even make sweet osmanthus and glutinous rice lotus roots.
Sweet osmanthus was, after all, a piece of treasure.
Qiao Xuan assured everyone, saying that she would buy as long as they wanted to sell.
Then she took Ms. Yang, Qi and Taotao and visited house from house to collect the flowers.
The ground was cleaned, and a clean blanket was spread around the tree. Shao Sanlang climbed up the tree and shook the branches neither lightly nor heavily. Soon, he saw golden osmanthus flowers pouring down like rain, with a fragrant scent.
Then they used broomsticks to gather them and put them into the basket carefully.
They collected flowers in the morning and processed them in the afternoon.
They could collect more than 10 kilos from those households.
10 kilos amounted to 60 wen.
Villagers were very happy to have got this much money.
Widow Sun had two large sweet osmanthus trees in front of her house.
But she did not offer to sell sweet osmanthus, nor did Qiao Xuan visit her.
She was such a bitch!
Her mother-in-law even had fights with her and Qiao Xuan would not turn to Widow Sun for this work.
Widow Sun could not humble herself to ask Qiao Xuan. She was very jealous of her too.
She was waiting for Qiao Xuan to come to her, but Widow Sun could not stand it when Qiao Xuan did not show up.
The sweet osmanthus trees outside her house were blooming in layers. There should be more than 10 kilos altogether..
