Encountering all kinds of warm people and things on the way to start a business is a real luxury

A friend learned to work in the rushes in Miaoli Garden. His hands are very skillful and beautiful. He can do all kinds of handmade knitting or painting and other creations related to aesthetics. .

I watched her share that she made a basket out of rush. It was so beautiful that I couldn't help placing an order with her, and repeatedly stressed that I had to pay, so please be sure to include the materials and the time cost of production.

After the finished product was finished, my friend took a photo and showed it to me. I shouted that it was too beautiful and asked how much it would cost. At this time, she started to pretend to be a snake and even used her sister as a shield and said that she was going to consult her. Broker XD

As a result, the elder sister's agent said proudly: I have been in business for a long time! Just replace it with your curry paste!

I said curry paste is not enough! She said otherwise, add barbecue sauce!

In the end, the typical Taiwanese rushed to pay at the counter to push me and pull, and then used red and green curry sauce, satay sauce and barbecue sauce to exchange for a super exquisite hand-made small basket! I still feel bad in my heart ah ah ah (holding my conscience)

Received the finished product today, I think it is so beautiful and cute! And it smells like rush! ! I wanted to take a picture but worried about covering its beautiful bottom. After a long time, I finally took it with some ingredients for curry sauce. I was afraid that my friends would not see its bottom, so I gave it a close-up.

There is a fruit with wrinkled skin in the upper right corner of the photo, which is a Thai-style lemon fruit. It is also the fruit of lemon leaves that will be attached to the back of my curry sauce. It is a free gift from the small-scale farmers of lemon leaves.

One of my lemon leaf farmers is a very generous person. We met in a society that introduced Nanyang spices. He shared a photo of the lemon leaf he planted in the society at that time, because it looks like a super big tree and the leaves are beautiful. I I asked him privately if he was selling, but he said that he just grows his own fun stuff, and it’s okay to sell it, but the output isn’t very large.

He rented a small field with people in Pingtung, and planted some Nanyang herbs as he wanted. According to him, because he was lazy, he often let them grow randomly XD Lemon leaves are actually very fragrant and easily attract some insects. Eat, I also asked him if he had tried to get rid of the insects, he said directly: I am not that hardworking (Tan Shou)

But he was very careful in arranging the lemon leaves, wrapping them one by one according to the size of the leaves and sealing them with tape.

Every time I ask him to send lemon leaves to Taipei, there will be other things in the box, such as Thai lemonade, turmeric, galangal, wing peas, and some crops that I don't know the name of. Help them eat, there are large coconuts that have not been peeled before!

In fact, I was chatting with him at the beginning of the year. He mentioned that I really wanted to play the process from shaving coconut shreds to squeezing fresh coconut milk. As a result, he said that he has friends who have coconut trees, and often when cooked coconuts fall, he picks them up and helps me. Send it here, I often received coconuts from him XD, but then because the coconut peeled and needed to be shaved, it almost cost me half my life, so I told him that I had enough fun, and I didn’t need to. Sent again hahaha!

It's really time to go to Pingtung to visit his small field of Nanyang herbs~
