Live Broadcast Of Specialty Products, Netizens From All Over The World Have Broken Their Defenses

Like Qin Yi, the audience in the live broadcast room also became confused after hearing that the greenhouse in front of them was also used to grow saffron.

After all, the large open space in this base is already full of saffron, so what else does this greenhouse need?

Just when everyone was confused, they finally followed Ye Xun's camera and saw the scene inside the Dapeng.

Different from the large dirt area outside, this place is full of shelves.

Each shelf is covered with a thick layer of culture soil, and rows of white sprouts sprout from the soil.

Looking around, the whole greenhouse is filled with shelves full of white buds, which is quite huge.

Qin Yi looked at these white buds in disbelief and murmured.

“Are these saffron too?”

After seeing the staff member who brought them in nodding affirmatively, Qin Yi's expression was still a little incredulous.

Unlike the purple saffron flowers outside that have already bloomed and matured, these white buds in front of us have no trace of saffron at all.

Those white shoots all sprout from a bulb that looks like a large garlic head.

Many people looked at the seedlings and couldn't help but think of hyacinths.

The kind of aquatic hyacinth sold outside looks very similar to this saffron flower|chisel.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xun immediately started popularizing science with everyone.

"This saffron, like hyacinth and tulip, is a typical Mediterranean plant."

"So planting saffron in Shanghai requires manual intervention. Only by cultivating the bulbs in the greenhouse can the saffron be transplanted into the soil for planting during the season when the outdoor temperature drops.

After listening to Ye Xun's explanation, everyone knew the purpose of the greenhouse.

It seems that this greenhouse is really used to grow saffron.

"And because of the growth characteristics of saffron, it is generally only grown twice a year in its overseas origins."

"But in our Shanghai city, this saffron has undergone artificial intervention and greenhouse cultivation, and can be grown two seasons a year."

"It can be said that our annual output in Shanghai is even more than that of its place of origin."

In this greenhouse, in addition to the pile of cultivated flower seedlings, there is also a laboratory.

According to the staff, this research laboratory mainly conducts scientific research on saffron cultivation.

And this research has never stopped since they introduced saffron cultivation in Shanghai.

And until now, their scientific research results have also been significantly presented.

From their research laboratory, a saffron rejuvenation technology was developed.

Under the cultivation of this kind of seed technology, the saffron bulbs are larger and more filaments are produced when they bloom.

After listening to this introduction, the audience in the live broadcast room was also filled with emotion.

"It feels like this saffron is about to become a species in China, but the production in the country of origin is actually not as much as in China."

"That's not bad. The saffron cultivated by our country is more suitable for growing in the soil of our country. Didn't you see that saffron is planted in many places now, and they are all varieties cultivated in Shanghai."

After seeing the greenhouse with saffron seedlings planted, the accompanying staff continued to take them to the only building in the base, the Saffron Processing Plaza. Please visit the interior.

The entire processing plant has a huge employee system.

After all, every step of saffron, from planting to picking to processing, requires a large number of employees.

Therefore, there are really not many employees inside the factory.

Ye Xun's visit happened to catch up with the saffron processing process.

An employee was seen pushing a small cart into the factory, and then dumped the flowers on the workbench.

"What...is this for?"

Before Qin Yi could finish his doubts, four employees wearing uniforms quickly moved stools and sat down around the workbench.

The employees were wearing rubber gloves and holding tweezers, with a container next to them.

Then he picked up the flower with one hand, picked up the red filaments with tweezers with the other hand, and put it into the blooming body.

As for the small purple flowers that had been picked, they threw them into the bucket at their feet.

It seems that this step is for hand-picking the filaments in the saffron.

I saw the quick movements in the hands of these employees. Just pick it up, clamp it, and throw it away, and there were a few red filaments in the container containing saffron.

The whole process takes less than two seconds, which is enough to show their proficiency.

No matter how fast it is, there are only a few filaments in a saffron flower.

Thinking that saffron is basically sold by weight, Ye Xun couldn't help but wonder, how many filaments do you need to collect to get this gram of saffron?

.....................

As soon as this question came up, the staff next to me quickly gave the answer.

"It takes about twenty to thirty flowers to pick one gram of filaments."

Hearing this, even Ye Xun was a little surprised.

He thought that five or six flowers could weigh one gram.

Who would have thought that so many flowers would be needed? The group is enough.

Looking at it this way, even if this small cart of purple saffron is picked, there won't be many filaments to speak of.

No wonder the price of this saffron is worth a thousand gold per gram.

Just listen to the staff member continue to speak.

"This is still the case when new varieties are improved and more filaments are produced. In the past, this amount would have been doubled to be able to pick out one gram of filaments."

Soon, the four employees quickly picked all the saffron on the workbench.

As expected, after picking so much saffron, there was only enough to fill the container.

As a rough estimate, it weighs just over a kilogram.

Moreover, these filaments will need to be dried in the future, and the weight will have to be reduced again.

Hearing this number, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but gasp.

So slowly pushing a cart of saffron, only a few filaments can be picked.

This saffron is really precious!

Moreover, the process of picking saffron is still done by hand, so it is no wonder that it is expensive.

Many netizens were immediately curious about the price of saffron and started searching online.

When they saw that it was about sixty-seventy-one grams, the audience first marveled at the price.

Then I thought about the meager yield of saffron and the entire process of picking it by hand, and suddenly I felt that the price was not exaggerated.

At this moment, some netizens checking prices online discovered something.

That is, the saffron produced in Shanghai is actually one or two times more expensive than the saffron imported from foreign countries such as Greece and Iran.

Everyone was suddenly confused.

Logically speaking, domestic products are generally cheaper than imported products.

How to get to Saffron here, but the other way around.

"Is it possible that the reason why saffron is so expensive is because of the outrageous prices in the Shanghai stock market?"

Seeing netizens' speculation, Ye Xun immediately smiled and shook his head.

"That's not the case. The reason why the saffron in the Shanghai market is so expensive is naturally for a reason.
