Chapter 2149: Chapter 1834: Daylily
For Qiaoqiao, picking yellow daylilies has no technical barriers at all.
In terms of ripeness, for people in the village, it’s really something you can tell at a glance without even thinking about it.
As for harvesting, that’s even simpler.
If you can grab a tiny tea leaf with your fingers, there’s no need to mention the big plump strips of yellow daylilies.
Xiaoyang was still filming it from all angles, while Qiaoqiao used both hands, swiftly—swish, swish, swish!
She hadn’t walked far along a furrow, and the cloth bag hanging at her waist was already heavy with plenty.
Yang Zhengxi looked on, dumbfounded: "Qiaoqiao, do you pick tea at this speed too?"
He had tried it himself after all.
He went up the mountain, delicately pinched a tea bud early in the morning, and after a whole morning, he only collected just a bit!
Wu Lan laughed heartily, saying if you kids were expected to earn money to support the family, the whole family would have to live on air.
Look, how discouraging!
And now, Qiaoqiao thought carefully:
"Picking tea leaves should be a bit faster than this."
The stems of yellow daylilies are thin, and if you pick too fast, it’ll sway. Sometimes you need to spare a hand to hold it steady.
Tea plant branches are stiff and mostly well-trimmed, unless it’s an old tree that’s unmanaged, otherwise, they don’t sway like that.
After saying this, he looked at the farmers scattered in the field and curiously asked:
"Did they work all night too? Did they work all night?"
When he did his homework yesterday, he found that people started picking yellow daylilies after 10 p.m.
Uncles and aunts even wore headlights, otherwise, it was pitch black in the fields, and they couldn’t see anything.
Xiaoyang shook his head: "We say it’s a farm, but the crops operation is just supplemental, these yellow daylilies are basically harvested for internal supply within the group, so there’s no rush."
Qiaoqiao had his homework to do, Xiaoyang also had a lot to understand, so he seriously explained:
"They start just a bit earlier than us, but not to the point of needing headlights. After all, they live nearby; they start work at around four o’clock. Look, they haven’t even filled their first bag yet."
Qiaoqiao seriously looked into the distance and nodded.
He didn’t know how many people came to the live stream, but no matter how many came, it didn’t interfere with his serious teaching:
"Kids, if you’re picking yellow daylilies, make sure to get up early! Otherwise, when the sun comes out," he said as he plucked a plump, round, greenish-yellow flower bud:
"Like this one, when the sun comes out, it will bloom. Once it blooms, it’s not the best anymore, whether for eating or selling."
Thinking about the rain at home, he sighed a bit:
"If it doesn’t sell well, farming will lose money."
Yang Zhengxi glanced at the live stream, and there were only a little less than two thousand people.
But the chat was lively.
[Got it, learned something, where can we collect yellow daylilies?]
[Teacher Qiaoqiao, how did you know I have to redo my resume?]
[To the one in front, with so many skills, can your resume fit them all?]
[I’ve already written my resume, starting from picking pumpkin tips.]
[Speaking of pumpkin tips, can pumpkin flowers be eaten now?]
[Useless, I’m staying up all night to learn knowledge, is there a link for pumpkin flowers?]
[Joke, I’m here to learn knowledge too, is there a link for yellow daylilies?]
[Staying up late is staying up late, don’t make yourself sound so studious, otherwise, if you don’t go to Tsinghua University, it’s because you don’t like it?]
[I’m different, my grades are bad, I heard yellow daylilies can nourish the brain, Teacher Qiaoqiao sell me a hundred pounds.]
[The one in front doesn’t get it, you should replenish deficiencies with similar forms, if your brain isn’t working well, you should eat pig brain]
With fewer people, the chat was clearer.
Yang Zhengxi watched as the conversation direction gradually diverged in all directions, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Qiaoqiao looked at him puzzledly and then continued his work.
And Yang Zhengxi thought a bit wistfully:
Qiaoqiao misses a lot of happiness by not looking at the chat.
But then again, if he really looked at the chat, the screen would probably be full of [link please], with no one chatting.
At this moment, he quickly emphasized:
"Everyone take note, these are daylilies from our land, not Qiaoqiao’s family. Buying them back won’t be much different from buying them outside, no need."
"Besides, like wood ear mushrooms, yellow daylilies can’t be eaten right after picking. Look at the car waiting by the roadside—this side collects, that side needs to send them to the steaming room. If you leave them for too long, they bloom. After steaming, they need to be dried, so they can be eaten and are better preserved."
