Ever since he was followed in the market, everyone was shocked when they heard him say this.

Everyone thinks that they can follow the spring with the humanoid demonic beast Shanaiduo, but the person who tracked it hasn't let Shanaiduo find out, I'm afraid it's not just a petty theft, they are worried that something will happen to the spring outside, and persuade him to stay at home for a few days and not go anywhere.

Izumi himself thought so, so he naturally agreed. Besides, he has a lot of things to do lately, and he doesn't have time to run around anymore.

Izumi had a timetable for himself, which had strict rules about the time he spent reading books and the time he meditated, and he could only do other things if he had done both of these things according to the schedule.

Lucy heard from Izumi that she had bought a bunch of fruit to make jam and preserves, and although she felt that it was a bit of a waste of money, she still offered to come and help.

Many people have more strength, Izumi is naturally happy to agree, coupled with the inseparable good helper Shanaiduo, the two of them were busy in the kitchen for most of the day before they processed all the fruits.

The method of jam is actually very simple, after rinsing the fruit used to make jam with water, cut it into small pieces, soak it in salted water for a period of time, then wash it, drain it, and then put the fruit in a pot, add water and sugar to boil it together, boil until the pulp becomes a sauce, and then add some seasoned lemon juice.

In addition to the constant stirring during boiling, most jams can be increased or decreased according to the ratio of one fruit and half sugar, and the amount of sugar will not only affect the taste of the jam but also affect the preservation time of the jam, so be sure to pay attention.

Preserves, on the other hand, are made by peeling fresh fruits, taking the pits, boiling them in sugar water, soaking them, and finally drying them, which takes several days and is more troublesome than jam.

Lucy watched as Izumi stirred the sugar juice in the hanging pot while crushing the softened flesh, which she had definitely done many times.

Although she can also make jam, she rarely makes it, because sugar is very expensive, and ordinary people rarely buy it, and honey, which can replace sugar, is more expensive, which can be said to be a delicacy enjoyed by nobles.

For the child adopted by Carter, Lucy knows most of the things from her son Arthur, every time she talks about him, Arthur is always full of praise, all kinds of beautiful words look at him without hesitation, after so many days of getting along, she does find that this is a good child who gets along well and makes it easy to feel good, but there are quite a lot of doubts.

Don't talk about a lot of things at a young age, there is also a mysterious person who has heard of great things, and his usual words and deeds also reveal that he has been well educated, which is completely different from them, sometimes Lucy is still a little restrained in front of him, and he always wonders if this child is a young master of a noble family, and it doesn't look like he has suffered hardship.

But how could the young master of the aristocratic family go into the kitchen to cook, that skill is better than her, anyway, Lucy can't figure it out.

But I don't understand that Lucy didn't ask much, she had already found that everyone didn't seem to be very happy to mention the origin of this child, every time she talked about this topic, even Arthur, who usually couldn't hide her words, would deliberately avoid it, Lucy was careful, and after discovering this, she began to pay attention not to touch this problem.

"Aunt Lucy, did you plant all those flowers in the yard?" Izumi asked suddenly.

Lucy, who was thinking about things, was stunned for a moment before answering him: "Not all, some were planted when Anne was still there." "It's just that after so many years, many of them have died, and there are not many left, most of them are made up by her who bought the same flower seedlings, so it seems that the scene in the yard is not much different, but in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that it has changed.

It's just a consolation.

"Can I clear out a piece of the vacant land in the back and plant something?"

Carter's house has two yards in front and back, the front yard is smaller at first, and the corners are planted with flowers and plants all around, leaving only the lawn and a path in the middle, and the space in the backyard is large, and there are almost no flowers and plants, even if the griffin's cage is placed in the back, the remaining open space is also very large, and Izumi often sees Carter and Benny brothers practicing martial arts in the backyard in the morning.

"Yes, what do you want to plant?" When it came to planting flowers and plants, Lucy became interested.

"It's just some seeds that I brought from my hometown."

Although he has not yet bought land, it is better to prepare early, and it will take at least two or three years for fruit trees to grow from seedlings to fruit, and now he only has seeds, which will be even slower.

And Izumi is also worried about whether these seeds he brought will be able to germinate after changing into a world, so it is always right to raise seedlings first.

After asking Lucy about the use of his backyard, Izumi got Carter's permission when he returned, and then began to work on his seeds.

Izumi brought a lot of seeds, ten packets of tree fruit seeds, a box of seven kinds of citrus fruit tree seeds, a bag of fairy flower seeds, and a bag of several seeds that the proprietress of the seed shop gave him, mixed with seeds that I don't know what they were.

Originally, Izumi only wanted to plant tree fruits now, and only needed to cultivate the ten packets of tree fruit seeds, but these seeds were all types that could not be put for a long time, and the survival rate of seeds in the first year was up to 90%, and the second year would be reduced to less than 50%, and the longer it was put in, the lower the germination rate, and it would basically be completely wasted after a certain number of years, so Izumi finally decided to use all the seeds, after all, it was something brought from the PM world, which was also one of his only thoughts.

There is a father who likes to make flowers and grass, Izumi has been taking care of flowers and plants since he was a child, and there is a farm next door to their house that is the largest tree fruit supplier in Raven City, and Izumi is also quite familiar with the cultivation and cultivation of tree fruits.

Quan spent a little time to classify all the seeds, the others are okay, they were divided at the beginning, only the package of mixed seeds, there are hundreds of large and small seeds in it, he and Shanaiduo eyes are flowered, so they are finally divided into seven kinds according to the size of the characteristics, but after they are separated, Quan still can't recognize what kind of seeds they are, and asked Shanaiduo, whose flower planting skills are no worse than him, and the happy egg who is most familiar with herbs, and the two elves didn't recognize it, It can be confirmed that it is not a common flower or herb seed.

"Forget it, we'll know what it is when it grows anyway, but Shanaiduo, you have to remember to remind me that these seeds should be planted separately, so as not to affect other seeds when they are obtained."

"Shala."

After subdividing all the seeds, Izumi now has a total of 25 seeds—ten tree fruit seeds, seven mandarin seeds, fairy flowers, and seven unknown seeds—and the use of natural treatments is to be handled separately so as not to confuse them.

Izumi took a basin of water from the kitchen, filled it with water, put the seeds in one by one, and began to select the seeds.

The so-called seed selection is to soak the seeds in clean water, the full seeds will sink, and the deflated seeds, diseased seeds and sclerotia will float on the surface of the water, so as long as you soak in water, you can get healthy seeds and deal with those problematic seeds.

The proprietress of the seed shop is an honest businessman, and the seeds she sells are always carefully selected, so there are very few bad seeds in these seeds, and more than 90% of them are healthy seeds that can be planted.

Filter out the bad seeds, separate the seeds and soak them in water for different times according to the thickness of the shell, then wrap them in a damp cloth and put them at a suitable temperature to germinate, and then just wait for the seeds to germinate.

After finishing this, Izumi was busy tidying up the backyard again, and he carved out a piece of land one meter wide and three meters long under the courtyard wall that was far away from the griffin cage and attached to Arthur's house, and surrounded it with stones to prevent Uncle Carter from stepping in when they were practicing martial arts in the yard.

The others tried to help, but Izumi persuaded them. Originally, he had to toss himself, so how could he be embarrassed to work everyone.

However, seeing that everyone was a little affectionate after being rejected, Izumi simply asked them to bring a variety of different materials when they came back every day, such as the silt by the river, the humus accumulated under the big trees in the woods, and so on.

Bringing some soil back was just a gesture, and everyone brought him several kinds of soil materials that he named him on the same day.

Some of the seeds began to germinate in the evening of the second day after they were wrapped, and at this time the opening of the spring was not yet completed, and the seedlings were still small, so he simply went to buy a lot of flower pots and came back, and prepared the soil collected by everyone into culture soil, transplanted the seedlings into the flower pots, and placed them on the balcony of the room to take care of them.

After that, one after another, the seeds began to sprout in large pieces, and Izumi wanted to transplant them all, and the flower pots on the balcony were not enough, but fortunately, the ground in the backyard had been cleared at this time, so he transplanted the batch that grew faster separately to the backyard, and carefully made a few signs to mark them.

The only thing that gave Izumi a headache was that he didn't know if something had changed during the crossing, the germination rate of these seeds was even higher than he expected, and even the citrus fruit trees that had thought that a maximum of ten seeds in a pack of hundreds of seeds could germinate had half the germination rate, not to mention other good seeds.

Moreover, they not only have a high germination rate, but also grow very fast, which is almost catching up with the effect of tree fruit planting pots.
