Chapter 126: Qingming

Hua Jiao blinked his eyes and looked at Father Qin and Shopkeeper Guo, who seemed to have known each other for many years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although she didn't remember whether she slept last night or early this morning, it was a fact that she slept until three o'clock in the morning, and her head was not only groggy but also frightened her family.

But these two old men, it is said that they are after the fourth watch of the day and almost the fifth watch of the day to sleep, before dawn to get up again, but also very interested about climbing the back mountain to dig spring bamboo shoots, it is said that also found a few wild tea trees on the east mountain, although the tea buds are too delicate and not yet the light of picking, but still very happy, Guo shopkeeper is full of praise for the landscape of Lotus Mountain.

What such a good spirit!

Listening to the hearty laughter of the two, Huajiao couldn't help but burst into a smile.

And it was naturally impossible for the shopkeeper Guo to know that the pepper was muttering to him secretly, so he went to the Dongtou construction site to see it once, teased the pepper bay leaves for a while, had lunch, and agreed with Father Qin to see Lianxi again in half a month, and then said goodbye and returned to the city.

Sichuan pepper is only looking forward to the scene of the half moon, and it is best to pass it in the blink of an eye.

Lilac's mind was all on the wild tea trees that Father Qin and Shopkeeper Guo had inadvertently discovered.

She knew that there were a lot of camellia trees on the mountain, and she had only gone up the mountain in the autumn of the year before last to pass the camellia oil. But I have never seen a wild tea tree, I didn't expect that I would go to the back mountain like visiting my own vegetable garden, and there was a time when I was gone, and I was inadvertently grabbed by the two old men, and I was really a little unconvinced.

In the second half of the day, I was stumped by homework, and the next morning, it happened that the little boys at home were resting at home because of the Qingming Liberation Hall, so I simply went with the little boys to go up the mountain to find tea trees in the dew early in the morning.

Xiangye is still fine, and the pepper eyes are actually wanting to go, but in the end, he looked at his short arms and short legs, or just that.

Besides, she also knew that Roche would not worry about her going. Not to mention going up the mountain, just thinking that tomorrow will be the Qingming Festival with frequent ghosts, it is estimated that Luo will not rest assured that she will leave his sight.

In fact, because of last year's disaster, the willow trees outside the village have not been able to come back alive, and there are no willow branches to wear.

It was also because of the Qingming Festival that Father Qin simply gave the helpers two days off, and he could breathe a sigh of relief, and the pepper led the fragrant leaves to accompany the old man to plant flowers and grass.

During the Chinese New Year, there are flowers and plants with roots in the sandy soil, which have basically grown long white roots, and Father Qin took pepper leaves and planted these branches and vines in front of the house and behind the house according to the different habits of flowers and plants.

Sichuan Jiao looked at it and took out the Fu Tangerine Seeds that he had stored for the New Year to promote germination.

During the Chinese New Year, the new brother-in-law once sent a small basket of lucky oranges to the family, which was not an ordinary thing in previous years, and it was even rarer to see a year like last year.

Don't look at such a small basket, there are only about a dozen of them, but if it weren't for the Shu family's father and son both working on errands in Chandron, I am afraid that they may not be able to buy it after spending a lot of money.

Hua Jiao and her brothers and sisters each got a lucky orange, and Hua Jiao left the orange seeds to her with her brothers and sisters.

After the New Year, the Fu Tangerine was eaten, and the peppercorns gathered a total of about 20 plump orange seeds, which were cleaned one by one and stored in a small bowl. Soak for seven or eight days, change the water every day. I don't know if it's because the weather is too cold and not suitable, but the seed coat of the seed has never bloomed.

Sichuan pepper is afraid that the orange seeds will be soaked in this way, there is no paper towel, so I brought a strong absorbent mulberry paper, spread the seeds on the soaked mulberry paper, loosely wrapped, and put it in a small bowl on the windowsill that can irradiate the scattered light. After another ten days, the seed coat finally cracked, and more than half of the orange seeds were already exposed.

Xiangye's eyes widened, but all the fruits she had eaten flashed in her mind.

Sichuan pepper didn't know it, and taught her to peel off the cracked seed coat of the orange seeds, and the two worked together to plant the orange seed buds face down and planted them in the clay pot that the pepper had already packed up.

Hua Jiao squinted his eyes and pointed to the clay pot to deliberately tease Father Qin: "Grandfather, my sister and I will grow oranges for you to eat." ”

Xiangye nodded when she heard this, and tilted her little head in confusion and asked the peppercorns: "When will they grow up and bear fruit!" ”

Father Qin, who had been immersed in the flowers and plants and looked a little silent, laughed: "Our peppers and bay leaves are really filial, grandfather is waiting for you to grow oranges." ”

Sichuan pepper laughed hesitantly, and just as he didn't know how to explain to bay leaf that such seeds would not bear fruit, he saw Lilac and the little boys running back in a hurry.

Lilac also pinched a fork in her hand and asked Father Qin: "Grandfather, grandfather, is this a wild tea tree?" ”

When Daddy Qin nodded, you rushed to tell Daddy Qin one by one: "Grandfather, grandfather, we have found a lot of tea trees, but the leaves are too small, wait a few days for the leaves to grow, we will pick them and make tea for you to drink, it must be delicious." ”

Father Qin couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, grandfather is waiting for your tea to eat." ”

A bunch of small things kept nodding, and Lilac ran back to the house and told Qin Lao Niang, who was preparing the sacrificial items: "There are a lot of teas, I will pick them in a few days, and when the time comes, I will fry them for you and your grandfather." He also said: "There are so many leaves, there must be more, and when the time comes, I will send them to the old lady who rewarded us with so many ingredients to eat." ”

Old Lady Qin heard Father Qin's laughter just now, and she was relieved in her heart, hearing Ding Xiang say this, she still remembered Old Lady Fang, and she was even more happy.

Yao couldn't laugh or cry, and pointed to the cloves: "What a stupid girl, the tea leaves are all eaten buds." In a few days, maybe there will be rain in these days, and it will be rain again, and the buds will grow into leaves in the blink of an eye. ”

Lilac's eyes widened, where did she pay attention to this, she was already anxious: "Then what can I do!" And he said, "Then I'll pick it now." "As he spoke, he was really going up the mountain again.

Qin Lao Niang saw it and hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, the tea is too tender, there is only clear air and no aroma, and it is not resistant to brewing, so I don't have much to eat, but I have to be older!" ”

Lilac breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and nodded busily: "Then I'll go tomorrow." ”

Yao patted her arm lightly and said softly: "Ming'er is Qingming, what's the matter, Ming'er will talk about it." ”

Lilac said "oh", she already remembered something, pursed her lips and tilted her head to think about it for a while, then turned around and ran out, and accompanied Father Qin to plant flowers and grass with her brothers and sisters. (To be continued.) )
