Chapter 136: Planting Mentor
Going straight to the rooftop from the first floor, Lin Zeng was about to take out the key, but found that the door to the rooftop from the top floor was open. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Chen Ruofei gave him the key, he specially instructed him to remember to lock the door when he left. Especially after the start of school, children are curious, and if they run to the top floor to play, there are certain safety hazards.
Lin Zeng pushed open the half-hidden iron door and saw an old man with gray hair, carrying a water pipe, carefully watering the plants in each planting trough.
Hearing the movement of the iron gate, he turned his head, saw Lin Zeng, greeted him with a smile, and asked, "Brother Youth, why did you come here?"
"Hello uncle, I am Xiao Lin, the project leader in charge of the greening of the sky garden, and I came to take a look this time. Lin Zeng guessed that this was probably the flower and tree keeper arranged by the school.
"Oh oh, hello, I'm Teacher Zhou, who is in charge of watering and fertilizing. Hahaha, I used to be a math teacher at Qingyi Elementary School, and I have been retired for several years, Xiao Chen said that the school was ready to hire a full-time worker who was responsible for maintaining flowers and plants, so I took the initiative to sign up. Teacher Zhou's voice was loud and confident, his complexion was ruddy, and he looked in good health, "If there is anything I don't understand about taking care of flowers and plants in the future, I want to ask you for advice." ”
"Okay, you can call me. Lin Zeng said briskly, reporting a string of numbers, "This is my phone number." ”
"Kobayashi, the greenery of your company feels very special, I have never seen this kind of design in other places. Lao Zhou, a retired teacher, wrote down Lin Zeng's phone number, adjusted the direction of the water pipe, and chatted happily with Lin Zeng.
"Why do you use a two-meter-high steel wire mesh to enclose all sides of the roof?" Lao Zhou said, pointing to the iron mesh around the rooftop.
"This is communicated with the school, for the sake of student safety, the school believes that the one-person high cement fence is still a safety hazard, and wants to establish a safer protective net. Our company proposed that it would be better to design a heightened plant wall on all four sides, which would not only ensure the safety of students, but also increase the planting area and play a beautifying role. This steel mesh is made of the strongest materials. Lin Zeng didn't bother to talk to Secretary Liu Yun more, but he felt very comfortable chatting with this retired old teacher, and patiently told him the ideas he designed.
"I see, I see. Children of this age are more flexible than monkeys, and they can't be guarded against. Lao Zhou nodded again and again, he pointed to a nearby area and asked, "The plants in that area grow very well, and the leaves look like chrysanthemums, what kind of variety?"
"Uh," Lin Zeng identified some, those plants were already more than a meter tall, the leaf shape was beautiful, it was Lin Zeng with fresh chrysanthemum as the raw material, refining a kind of climbing vine chrysanthemum suitable for the growth of the rooftop, he pointed to a small bud on the top of the plant, and said to Lao Zhou, "This is the four seasons golden silk chrysanthemum, which can bloom continuously throughout the year." Although chrysanthemums are herbaceous plants, this variety has the property of infinite growth, therefore, it can climb walls and grow. ”
"Isn't that the golden silk chrysanthemum able to make tea?" asked Lao Zhou curiously.
"Yes, the four seasons golden silk chrysanthemum here, not only the flower type is larger, the smell is sweeter, the flowering period is longer, the flower color is orange and yellow, the color is gorgeous, it can be dried to make tea and drink, and it can also be eaten fresh and cold. "Lin Zeng is naturally like a treasure for the plants he refines.
"Is this about to bloom?" Although Lao Zhou was old, he still humbly asked Lin Zeng for advice.
"Yes, this flower, about three or four days, will be fully bloomed, it blooms in about three days, if you can pick the flowers in the early morning of the third day, dry them immediately, and make the flower tea, the taste is the best. Lin Zeng said, and Lao Zhou nodded.
What Lin Zeng didn't say was that the blooming Four Seasons Golden Silk Imperial Chrysanthemum could absorb the energy of sunlight and convert it into a special substance. This substance has a strong restorative effect on the decaying eye tissues of the elderly. If you drink tea for a long time, your vision problems due to aging can be well improved.
Lao Zhou listened, suddenly put down the water pipe, ran to the faucet in the corner, and tightened the faucet. From his pocket, he took out a notebook smaller than a palm, a pen, and quickly wrote down Lin Zeng's words.
He looked humble and studious, which made Lin Zeng very embarrassed.
Probably seeing Lin Zeng's mentality, Lao Zhou smiled heartily and patted Lin Zeng's shoulder, "Xiaolin, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, the master is a teacher, you go on, I'm old and my memory is not very good, I'll write it down." ”
"Four seasons golden silk chrysanthemum loves light, the demand for water is not high, every morning, watering can be done, there are seven four seasons golden silk chrysanthemum, if the flowering period, it is no problem to be able to pick six or seven catties of flowers every day. By the way, there is a very significant feature of the golden silk chrysanthemum that can be picked, that is, the petals in the center of the flower, the color is close to red. ”
Lao Zhou nodded again and again, and scribbled on the notebook with a pen in his hand.
Lin Zeng took a look and found that he couldn't understand what he wrote at all, either dots, circles, and lines.
"This is shorthand," Lao Zhou quickly wrote down a passage of Lin Zeng's words, and when he saw Lin Zeng's confused gaze, he explained with a smile, "There was no stenographer before, there was no recording equipment, and if you want to record words quickly, you have to learn shorthand." You see, the leaves of this plant next to the Four Seasons Golden Silk Chrysanthemum are the size of my palm, what kind of variety is this? What do you need to pay attention to when maintaining?"
"This is a hibiscus flower, which can also climb vines to grow, and this is a red variety of hibiscus, also known as Fujimoto morning dew hibiscus. "Lin Zeng designed the twelve flower spaces on the rooftop, and each flower theme space, some only need a few plants, can completely build a plant space with green leaves and many flowers, the reason is that these special plants, each plant grows occupies a large area.
The vine morning dew hibiscus is planted in smaller quantities than the four seasons golden silk chrysanthemum.
There are only five of them, and they are already growing luxuriantly.
"It will take about 10 days for Fuso to bloom. Teacher Zhou, you should pay attention to the bright flowering of Fusang, the color is good-looking, after the flower is gone, there is a small transparent water drop at the flower stalk, which can be taken down with a light break. This is the most special product of Morning Dew Fuso. It has many uses, you collect it in the morning and put it in a ceramic jar to keep it for a long time. The specific effect is quite complicated, soaking in water to drink, can clear away heat, phlegm and reduce fire, external eye drops, can relieve eye fatigue. ”
Lin Zeng casually said a few things about the effect of morning dew Fusang, and he found that Teacher Zhou suddenly raised his head and asked a little eagerly, "Is this good for the eyes?"
"Well, there is a part of the effect, especially for people who use their eyes excessively. Lin Zeng didn't quite know why Teacher Zhou was so excited.
Lao Zhou sighed a little disappointed and told the reason.
