In our Jiaodong, it should be said that Robinia pseudoacacia is widely distributed. Robinia pseudoacacia was introduced to China and planted in Qingdao after the German occupation of Jiaozhou in Guangxu period, so we called it Robinia pseudoacacia. Both Qingdao and Jiaodong belong to hilly areas, and many counties and cities below Qingdao actually belong to Jiaodong. So our venue conditions are the same as those in Qingdao. Only when Robinia pseudoacacia was first introduced can there be so many Robinia pseudoacacia distributed. However, it is not easy to pick and buy Robinia pseudoacacia flowers even in places like ours where there are Robinia pseudoacacia. Because Robinia pseudoacacia is mostly distributed in ravines and barren hills, the terrain is steep and it is difficult to climb mountains, while Robinia pseudoacacia is mostly on tall Robinia pseudoacacia trees, and few pieces of low Robinia pseudoacacia can be picked. The roots of Sophora japonica are very strong. As long as there is a locust tree forest, the seedlings of locust trees will cluster in the extended roots every year. Without mowing, Sophora japonica can hardly become a useful tree. Therefore, every winter during the slack season, farmers have to go up the mountain to cut locust sticks, which the people call thorns. These strips can be used as firewood, garden sticks, cucumbers and kidney beans. Therefore, Sophora japonica can only be born on mature trees, and it is relatively difficult to pick them.
Moreover, the flowering period of Sophora japonica is very short. In our local area, Sophora japonica blooms around the fifth anniversary, and the whole flowering period lasts about a week. However, it is mainly used for eating, and the time in bloom is only two or three days. When you are in bloom, you can't eat it. Just occasionally I can't eat tender Sophora japonica, so I just eat steamed flowers. The flowering period is so short that it is unrealistic to buy in large quantities. Therefore, even if online sales can be used, it is difficult to meet the demand. Also, every time I visit bloom, it is the season for farmers to plant peanuts in the countryside. No idle people can pick a lot of Sophora japonica flowers. If you hire manual picking, the cost will be quite large. More importantly, Sophora japonica grows in the mountainous area of Shan Ye, and the flowering period of Sophora japonica is the main stage of fire prevention. Every village has special fire prevention personnel to watch the mountains, and it is not allowed to go into the mountains to pick Sophora japonica flowers at all. Even if the villagers are allowed to take a little early adopters, they should be urged to do so. Because of the above reasons, although the output of Sophora japonica is high, it is still difficult to buy it.
According to the topic, it is not inedible to buy Sophora japonica to dry, but the taste will be greatly reduced if it is dried and eaten. Most people are still used to eating fresh Sophora japonica, and the storage of fresh Sophora japonica is quite difficult. If it is not dispersed, it will heat up within a few hours. So even if you use express delivery, if you can't arrive on the same day, it's hard to guarantee that it won't go bad. Fresh Sophora japonica flowers sold online are all packed in vacuum and added with ice packs, which will increase the cost. Natural drying in the sun requires a large space, and it is not easy to find it in rural areas, and it is necessary to ensure sufficient sunshine and clean environment. Moreover, if it is dried by a dryer, it will increase the investment and be a bit deficient.
