Chapter 90: Fragrant Wine Bottle Grass
The Cordyceps purchased in the same city has not been transported for a long time and is still in good condition. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
They are stacked in the corners of the wall, and the specially shaped leaves are stretched out, which is very interesting to look at.
Lin Zeng's first object was the Miranda pitcher plant that he was most interested in.
This breed of pitcher plant has larger cages than other breeds. On the huge cage, the wide lips are gorgeous, and the red spots on the surface look beautiful.
The pitcher plant Miranda that Lin had purchased was waist-high, with four particularly conspicuous cages hanging from the ends of the leaves. In the words that the owner told Lin Zeng, Miranda pitcher plant has excellent adaptability, is tough and easy to survive, and is a very suitable variety for novices.
He didn't move the leaves that still had cages, but plucked the other green leaves that didn't have cages.
After picking about two-thirds of the leaves, Lin Zeng brought the leaves of Nepenthes Miranda into the breeding space.
Lin Zeng was refining seeds now, and the choice of rune recipes was decided according to the different uses of the seeds.
Like the vegetables and fruits that most families often eat, Lin Zeng first considered refining them in the living room. For some of the more rare plants, Lin Zeng would choose the alienation method.
As for some rune parties that were not suitable for his environment, Lin Zeng did not start using them. For example, in dry places, the seeds refined are suitable for growing in arid areas with little rainfall, and in humid and rainy cities like Qinghe City, they are not suitable for the growth of plants refined in dry places.
The Alienation Fang was a kind of rune Fang that Lin Zeng liked to use. It can alienate plant growth traits and, if you're lucky, can also give plants a lot of magical properties.
Compared with the rusty difficulty when he used the alienation recipe for the first time, this time Lin Zeng used the alienation recipe to refine Miranda pitcher plant, which seemed to be more relaxed.
Although after drawing all the rune patterns, Lin Zeng was sweating profusely and his energy was still very tired, but at least he would not fall to the ground.
This time refining the Miranda pitcher plant, Lin Zeng only obtained one seed in the end.
"Fragrant wine bottle grass, primary seeds. It takes about forty days from sowing to growing the first bottle cage. Loving strong sunlight and abundant water, perennial vines, lifespans nearly 100 years and needs to be built to grow. The cage is shaped like a wine bottle and can grow 2-3 wine bottle cages per year. The length of the bottle cage is from 20~50 cm, and the diameter is 10-15 cm. The bottle cage hangs from the tendrils of the leaves all year round. The wine bottle cage secretes a special fragrant liquid, which is filled with fruit pulp or grain, and after two weeks of decomposition and secretion, the wine bottle cage will produce a particularly attractive wine slurry. The plant grows and absorbs the remaining residue of the winemaking material in the bottle as nutrients, leaving behind a sparkling agar-syrup wine with no impurities. The quality of the liquor is determined by the light and moisture of the planting environment. Depending on the raw material used for brewing, the alcohol content of the pulp ranges from 6 to 19 degrees. β
After obtaining the mutant seed made from the pitcher plant Miranda, Lin Zeng hurriedly put the only fragrant wine bottle grass seed into the jade box where the seeds were stored. He read the introduction of the seed twice, and the more he looked at the properties of the fragrant wine bottle grass, the more happy he became.
This variety is very valuable.
Lin Zeng is not a drinker, but before going to bed at night, he occasionally takes a can of beer, with a little lo-mei, leans back on the chair, swipes his mobile phone, and feels that at that moment life is comfortable, comfortable and leisurely.
As the scale of my farm grows and there are more fruit trees planted, there will always be a lot of overripe fruit, so I naturally think of using it to make wine.
In the cellar where Lin Zeng painted in Jiang, he saw a lot of wine jars.
However, the production of fruit wine and rice wine requires a certain amount of skill. It is good for ordinary people who do not specialize in brewing techniques to be able to successfully brew wine and rice wine.
As for the relatively rare cider, pear wine, peach wine, etc., without certain professional technology and many experiments, it is easy to fail.
However, if you leave the work of sake brewing to the sake bottle grass, you don't have to worry about failure. The bottle cage of the sake bottle grass, which is called the sake sac, secretes a liquid that naturally decomposes the brewing plant and naturally ferments the raw materials in the sake sac. As long as you take good care of the bottle grass, you can harvest natural sake on a regular basis. Raw materials with high sugar content will have a higher alcohol content, and raw materials with low sugar content will have a lower alcohol content.
Using plants to make fruit wine and rice wine sounds a lot like what the elven race would do in Western novels. But this fantastical processing method will indeed become a reality after the appearance of the bottle grass.
Lin decided to plant the oval-shaped seed right away, hoping that the variety would expand quickly.
The fruit tree saplings that Lin Zeng bought from the flower and bird market have passed the slow seedling stage. He had watered it once with a diluted solution of fertilized water, and by now a tender sprout had grown. He buys large seedlings that will blossom and bear fruit next year.
Fruit trees suitable for planting in Qinghe City include citrus, pomelo, peaches, lychees, longans, mangoes, bayberry and so on.
Of these varieties, Lin Zeng bought one or two of each. As a primitive plant.
Find a plastic flower pot with a diameter of 30 centimeters, go to the ground outside the house to dig some fertile and soft humus, dig a pit, and bury the seeds of the fragrant wine bottle grass in it. There is only a small handful of ordinary soil, a derivative of the wine bottle grass, which covers the diameter above the seed, and finally watered the fertilizer water micronuno solution.
Lin Zeng was looking forward to the wine bottle grass sprouting, growing, and growing wine sacs that could make wine.
Back in the room, Lin Zeng found that there were a few more messages on WeChat on his mobile phone, click to view, it was a picture sent by Jiang Hua.
It turned out to be a crib that had already been completed.
Lin Zeng clicked on the big picture and stared in amazement at the delicate crib on the picture. The oval-shaped monolithic structure, with its uniform and slender fence, looks like an elegant work of art.
Jiang Hua not only took pictures of the whole for him, but also detailed photos. Lin Zeng looked carefully, and the handrail of the crib was not blank and smooth, but carved with simple and bright reliefs.
"I feel like the material you gave me seems to have gotten bigger?" Jiang Hua sent him a puzzled expression.
Well, it's normal to be found, and the milk fruit seeds will be much larger almost every day before the pouch grows. After the pouch grows, as long as enough nutrients are provided to the pouch that provides plant growth, the milk fruit grows almost as if it were swelling. In almost a week or two, it can grow to the size of a chair.
"Well, yes, the material swells a bit, but it shouldn't affect the carving. "This is also the characteristic of the milk fruit, no matter how big it is, it expands and grows exactly as it is, and it will not be deformed because of the growth and expansion.
"Yes, it doesn't matter. When I carved in the morning, the height was 3.7 centimeters, and when I took it out to take a picture just now, I felt that it was a little taller, and I found that it was now 4.5 centimeters. I was taken aback, and after a careful look, the lines were indeed not distorted. β
"The carving is amazing. Lin once imagined in his mind what this pocket-sized crib would look like when it grew to the size of an ordinary crib. It can be seen that it is much more beautiful than the ordinary wooden crib in the roadside mother and baby store. The smooth surface is polished by Jiang paintings, and it is a soft ivory white. Jiang Hua is designing it as a work of art, so it has some outstanding temperament that is difficult to describe in words.
"Thank you. Jiang Hua replied with a sweet smile on his face.
"How much processing fee do I have to pay you?" Although it was very clichΓ©, Lin Zeng still asked very bluntly.
"Five hundred dollars. Jiang Hua gave Lin Zeng a somewhat unexpected price.
Qinghe City is located on the southeast coast of China, and the labor cost is very high. The weeding aunt hired by Lin Zeng had to pay them 180 to 250 labor fees a day. If it is a bricklaying worker, it costs about 350 yuan a day. The price that Jiang Hua gave him was basically equivalent to the price of friendship.
"Could it be too little?" Lin Zeng asked subconsciously typing.
"Hahaha, how can anyone ask like this, shouldn't they all bargain and dislike it's too expensive?" Jiang Hua put the carved crib into a brocade box, glanced back at his phone, and couldn't help but reply with a smile.
"Well, who made your price too fair. Lin Zeng went to the kitchen refrigerator to cut a slice of watermelon, and chatted with Jiang Hua while nibbling on it, and was in a very happy mood.
"Well, it's not just carving one. To carve so many of them, it can be regarded as a profit. Jiang Hua played with the other milk fruit seeds that Lin Zeng had placed in her place, and the more she touched them, the more she liked their texture. She was focusing on carving today, and after a busy day, she was a little thirsty. She grabbed two milk fruits in her hands, stroked them slowly, rotated them in the palm of her hand, opened the door, went out and walked about 100 meters to the right, squatted down, "clicked" and twisted a watermelon weighing seven or eight pounds, and carried the watermelon back to the house.
Lin Zeng transferred the money to Jiang Hua through WeChat, "Then I'll go over tomorrow and get it?"
"Yes, the carved crumbs, as you said, found a bag to put them. By the way, what do you want to carve the other materials into?" Jiang Hua cut the watermelon in half, took an iron spoon, sat back in front of his workbench, and dug and ate it spoonful by spoon.
Other?
Lin Zeng thought about it and replied to Jiang Hua.
"A rocking chair that reclines and can be rocked. β
"Oh, the easy chair. β
"When I work, I sit in a very comfortable chair. β
"You can go to Taobao and find a style for me. β
"Okay, and the bed. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you have a collector of furniture ornaments?"
"It's not,(^_^)"
"Well, you give me seven materials, and there are three pieces of furniture you want to carve into yet. β
"A set of desks for elementary school students. β
"Well, the last one. β
"Well, a bookshelf. β
"I'm sorry for you, you're going to give it to the little girl to play at home. β
