Chapter 10 Novice Growers
Lin Zeng counted the private messages in the inbox of the forum, and there were more than 100 vegetable friends who wanted to buy tomato seedlings.
Some of them were moderators who managed the forum, and some were veterans who frequented the forum, and their interest in planting was so high that they sent him a text message almost the same moment that Lin Zeng announced the end of the tomato seedling giveaway.
There are also some ID numbers that I haven't seen, probably diving a lot, but as his post became hot, I gradually got moved and tried to send him a private message to ask him for tomato seedlings.
Lin Zeng sat in front of the computer and wrote a message, the general content of which was that the second batch of tomato seedlings was still being cultivated, and he asked vegetable friends to wait. Then send it to those vegetable friends in groups.
Although he is currently unemployed, he is in no hurry to sell the tomato seedlings immediately.
Lin Zeng glanced at the attic space. In the cramped room, all four walls, including the ceiling, have been occupied by vine red jade tomatoes, and the first two tomatoes watered with manure microvites are in the most vigorous period of fruiting. On the tomato vine, one by one, the fist tomatoes are red in color, uniform in shape, three or five in bunches, and they look very pleasing.
According to the information provided to him by the breeding space, the use of fertilizer microneus in the fruiting period can make the tomato bear fruit in an explosive period, but it cannot last for three months like normal planting. At this rate of fruiting, these two vine red jade tomatoes will continue to produce high fruit for about ten days, and then they will stop growing and gradually wither.
These two tomatoes are currently ripening an average of more than 20 tomatoes a day. Although the red jade tomatoes taste good, Lin Zeng swallowed four or five tomatoes every day today, and the food was a little greasy.
In addition to eating the red jade tomatoes himself and giving some to the landlord and his wife, Lin Zeng sent them into the breeding space and smelted them into the seeds of the vine red jade tomatoes.
Tomato seeds smelted from tomato leaves are of significantly better quality than tomato seeds smelted from tomato leaves, with a full shape and bright color, as dazzling as a bright red diamond.
The fruit of a red jade tomato can refine nearly twenty tomato seeds. As a result, Lin Zeng was able to refine nearly 400 tomato seeds every day. These seeds, he stored zĂ i in a jade box exclusive to the vine red jade tomato.
There seemed to be a strange space inside the jade box, no matter how many tomato seeds he put in the jade box, this jade box that was less than the size of a palm would never be satisfied.
Lin Zeng walked around the room, picked the ripe tomatoes today, and counted them, and there were thirty-one.
He intently sat on the drop pendant necklace and carried the tomato into the breeding space.
Now in and out of the breeding space, he has mastered the ripeness, directly sent the thirty-one ripe tomatoes into the Ding furnace, and then painted smelting patterns on the body of the Ding furnace.
His technique of drawing runes, especially the smelting pattern, has become more and more proficient because he has practiced every day, and the runes that appear on the furnace body have become clearer and clearer, and the time that can maintain the operation of the furnace has become longer and longer.
In the process of refining tomato seeds, Lin Zeng was not idle. He sat next to the Ding furnace, paying attention to the rune situation while reviewing the many information about the breeding space in his mind.
Now, he can only be regarded as a beginner breeding apprentice who has not yet started, and if he wants to become an intermediate breeding apprentice, he must practice the thirty-six basic runes that the breeding apprentice has to learn to a three-star level.
Taking the most basic smelting pattern as an example, at the moment he can only draw runes with a duration of about ten minutes on the furnace body, and the duration of the standard three-star smelting pattern will be extended to two hours.
And the one-star basic rune, which lasts for half an hour, can reach half an hour. At his current level, he had not yet reached a one-star rune.
Beginner breeding apprentices, after completing the cultivation of thirty-six basic runes, need to comprehensively use the basic runes and refine hundreds of seeds in order to start the cultivation of intermediate breeding apprentices.
The cultivation of intermediate breeding apprentices needs to open up a new breeding space with crystal sources. After about half a month of obtaining breeding space, he still still did not understand what a crystal source was.
Lin Zeng thought about the number of courses included in it, and suddenly felt that reaching the level of an intermediate breeding apprentice seemed to be far away.

Jiang Xiaoling is a girl who grew up in the city. She is petite, has a gentle personality, has beautiful eyebrows, and is without makeup all day long. Her parents were both secondary school teachers at the same school, her mother was a Chinese teacher, and her father was a history teacher. Immersed in the fragrance of books since childhood, this girl with undazzling facial features has an indescribable temperament.
In addition to reading, Jiang Xiaoling also has a hobby.
She loves planting.
When she lived in the dormitory of her parents, teachers, and staff since she was a child, she liked to dig up grass and secretly plant branches from nowhere on the green ground downstairs with a small flower shovel.
On the desk in her college dormitory, there are round and lovely succulents, and clusters of mint herbs are planted next to the railing outside the balcony. She has always had a wish in her heart to have a small garden of her own. You can grow your favorite fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers as you like.
But her realistic environment makes it impossible for her to give up the trajectory of her current life and guard the pastoral life all day long. She is currently studying at a normal school and has a clear path ahead. After graduating from university, she prepared to take the teacher recruitment exam, entered a public school to teach, and lived a stable and calm life.
Perhaps, if you want to realize your dream of planting, you will have to wait until you retire. Jiang Xiaoling often thought of it with regret.
But that doesn't diminish her love for planting.
In her spare time, she often logs on to planting forums, especially the forum of urban farmers, where a large number of urban vegetable friends use the rooftops and balconies of their homes to skillfully grow vegetables and fruits.
It's a pity that due to the limited conditions, she can only live by the eyes, and she can't personally experience the fun of planting and harvesting vegetables on her own balcony.
On a free evening last week, Jiang Xiaoling habitually landed on the Urban Farmers Forum and entered the home planting section.
"Huh?"
Jiang Xiaoling was quite interested in opening a post that was obviously a newcomer, and it was not a long time since it was posted, but there have been many replies.
She clicked on the post, and the first time she saw the content of the post, she was attracted by the photo of the landlord.
As you can see from the photos, the landlord's room is very simple, not even as good as his own university dormitory. But the green vines that covered the walls made this featureless little room full of greenery.
Jiang Xiaoling's heart moved, and she continued to look down at the post, she didn't pay too much attention to the argument under the post.
Whether it was a tomato seedling or not, she didn't mind too much, she instantly thought in her heart, as if she could plant a seedling to the main building, then she could not plant this very beautiful climbing vine at home, in the room of the dormitory?
Thinking of doing it, Jiang Xiaoling quickly and sincerely sent his thoughts to the landlord of this post. This netizen named "Urban Seed King" replied to her quickly, and gave ten seedlings at one time on the forum.
During this period of time, Jiang Xiaoling has unconsciously been paying attention to the follow-up report of the Urban Seed King.
The more photos she saw, the more she fell in love with the creeping plant.
This climbing tomato grows vigorously in the room. Among the lush leaves on the wall, the ruddy tomatoes the size of a fist were so cute and pleasing that she itched in her heart, and she couldn't wait to receive the express delivery from the City Seed King immediately.
About three days later, she received the delivery.
The seedlings that grew in the transparent balls were only about ten centimeters tall, but they looked so energetic that she couldn't put them down, and she was almost reluctant to take them out.
According to the planting steps sent to them by the Urban Seed King, this tomato seedling, which is less than a palm's height, was carefully planted in a plastic pot with a diameter of 30 centimeters.
The flower pot was specially purchased by the flower shop near the school, and the soil in the flower pot was secretly dug by her dormitory friends with the help of her dormitory friends.
After cleaning up the seedlings, she excitedly placed the tomato seedlings in the corner of the small balcony of the dormitory. This is the only place in the dormitory that is suitable for climbing vines and tomatoes.
There is a blank wall here, about five square meters or so.
"Xiao Lingzi, you just toss, what else can we grow in this little broken place. "Song Yabai is Jiang Xiaoling's classmate and a very good friend in the dormitory, when she helped Jiang Xiaoling secretly dig the soil a few days ago, she didn't expect Jiang Xiaoling to grow things in the dormitory.
"Hmph, anyway, if the results of the planting, we will know in two weeks. According to the post of the Urban Seed King, after about two weeks, this fast-growing climbing vine tomato began to grow rapidly, and a large number of vine leaves began to climb the wall.
As long as you keep enough water for one liter a day, you will probably be able to harvest the first tomato one month after planting.
