Chapter 101: Taking office
Two days later, the Qin family's carriage arrived as scheduled. Pei Yan took the only variable, Pei Rong's little tail, and got into the carriage. Officially started his career as a gate gardener.
In the past, when the gate garden was hired, the old man of the Qin family had to go to the garden in person to introduce the head of the village and the little stewards, not to mention, this time it was still a gate garden that did not look like a door garden. No matter in terms of age or name, they can't convince the public.
No matter how much he didn't believe it in his heart, but he decided to invite, Master Qin still arrived at the garden early, first called the head of the village and a few little stewards to one place, and knocked them in advance.
After Pei Yan arrived, she said some more words, and warned Zhang Dong with words such as "work hard", "allocate manpower", "one qiē is subject to Miss Pei's meaning".
In fact, Old Master Qin originally wanted to say some humble words to Pei Yan, such as "bothering", "relying on", and "hard work", but looking at the girl whose childishness on her face had not completely faded, she still couldn't say it.
I have to say that age is sometimes a kind of capital.
After Master Qin left, Pei Yan became much more comfortable. After returning to the guest house to settle down, he asked Zhang Dong to lead him and turn the garden around first, so that he could know it in his heart.
At the end of May, the weather was extremely hot. In the middle of the afternoon, the garden is filled with the unique smell of the scorching sun and the plants and trees.
This familiar aura made Pei Yan feel very relieved and couldn't help smiling.
Pei Yue, who accompanied her sister to take office, saw the smile on her face, and her heart also relaxed. But it's not completely down.
He and Zhang Dong were followed by those little stewards, why couldn't they understand why the Qin family suddenly asked his sister to be the gatekeeper. Although my sister said that the young master of the Qin family insisted on coming to the door, she had to respond.
But the little master of the Qin family doesn't understand, doesn't the old lady of the Qin family understand either?
According to his cold eyes, although this old man of the Qin family is not very good, he speaks clearly and treats people moderately, and obviously his brain is not sick.
But why did a person who was not sick in the brain dare to be so bold to ask a girl who was less than thirteen years old to be a gardener?
Although Pei Yue has tried her best to exaggerate her sister's skills in her heart, she has exaggerated and exaggerated. Still can't convince herself, the Qin family asked her to be a gate garden because she has extraordinary skills.
But if it's not for her extraordinary skills, then why?
Again. Listening to her and Zhang Dong walking in front, they pointed to the wood hibiscus and said, "I didn't expect there to be a good tree in the Zhuangzi." Such a big wooden hibiscus can be sold for more than 20 taels of silver. Nowadays, every family outside the West City Gate is going to build a new house, and maybe there will be many big families who will come here to build houses in the future. You can buy and sell it when someone else comes to you. This kind of tree waits. More sought-after in the future! ”
After a while, he pointed to the large hollyhock and said, "This thing can't be sold as a potted flower." But it's not for nothing. It is very suitable for planting in the yard landscaping. Besides, it's good to use it as a vase of flowers. Although it is ordinary, it does not look ordinary in the summer when there are no flowers to see. Do you remember to harvest the seeds......"
After a while, he talked about the insect infestation of chrysanthemums, "I see that there are not enough people in the Zhuangzi, and I have to recruit some women who do fine work in the left and near." One is when cutting chrysanthemum seedlings. They can help. Second, in the future, the insects in this chrysanthemum can be caught diligently. Especially the chrysanthemum cow, which specializes in eating flowers, is the most annoying. And it's a hard shell, and it doesn't use any medicine. You can only catch ...... with your hands."
And again, "The bellflower has always been very little white, and in a moment you will have someone tie a strip of cloth to the bellflower that blooms white." In the future, when the seeds are harvested, they will be stored separately. This white bellflower is also very beautiful as a vase of flowers. ”
Listening to this seemingly easy-to-come words, it seems that she has long stored in her heart and grown in her head.
Pei Yue felt that she had no reason not to believe it. My sister got an errand because of her own ability.
But where did she learn these skills?
Whether it was a hibiscus or a hollyhock, he didn't recognize it at all before he heard his sister say those flower names. Although I have read it in the book, I am so stunned. It's still a bit wrong.
Unexpectedly, she was like a treasure!
waited until he followed everyone around the Zhuangzi in a big circle, but he didn't figure it out.
Not only him, but even Zhang Dong, who had a foundation for several previous incidents, couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him with admiration after following her around. Looking at her determined appearance when talking about planting flowers and plants, it seems that she is no worse than the original master of the Cao family.
It's really weird. You must know that the surname Cao is a family heirloom, not to mention that he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has also worked hard to learn for several years. The girl in front of me heard that she had only come into contact with this profession after turning the new year.
can be on par with Master Cao, it's really surprising that people don't want to be surprised.
But what's even more surprising is yet to come.
When everyone returned to the bright hall of the living room, Pei Yan continued to say to him, "I need to find some more women to weave some thick mesh hemp rope nets." He was then explained in detail the size of the net and the size of the mesh.
Zhang Dong first answered yes. Then, I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Pei, what are these nets for?" ”
Fat or medicine. Although these former gate gardens have been made, although the practice is different. Although he was surprised, the girl of the Pei family actually thought of it, but it was not much surprising to him.
It's this kind of net, Zhang Dong has been the head of the village for many years, and he has experienced several gate gardens, but no one has ever used it, not even the old man of the Cao family.
Pei Yan said this, a small trick when only planting cut flowers. It is because I thought of those acres of chrysanthemum fields, in addition to the thick and tender shoots used for cuttings of single chrysanthemums, there are still a lot left, not so stout, but also can be used tender shoots.
These single chrysanthemums may be sold for potted flowers for a few bucks because the plants are not strong and the flowers are too small. And listening to Master Qin's words, in previous years, he stayed on the old plant and let it fend for itself.
She thought that if this was the case, she might as well take cuttings and plant them as cut chrysanthemums.
Cut flowers into a bunch, as long as the flower shape is complete, it doesn't need to be too big. It's too big, but it loses the charm of the bouquet. This is why Zhang Dong was asked to prepare some hemp rope to fix the shape of the plant, so as to prevent the long crooked lodging and affect the flowering.
Anyway, Master Qin has something to say, the buying and selling of flowers and plants in the garden is Zhang Dong's business, and you have to listen to her about planting anything. Naturally, she didn't have any scruples.
And he slowly explained this to the people.
Selling vases of flowers, Zhang Dong knows, but some women and mothers-in-law from poor families are looking for some gardens. Get some scattered flowers and sell them in the streets and alleys to earn a few small bucks to get by.
Because of the fragmentation of this business, the Qin family, which has always prided itself on being a big deal, can not look down on it. I haven't touched it before. I didn't know that this vase of flowers would have to be planted separately. If you want to insert the bottle, just cut it directly. Is there any difference between a vase of flowers planted alone and flowers planted in other ways?
Hearing his question, Pei Yan smiled. "It's no different, it's just an extra net than the flowers next to it." After a pause, she continued, "Again, because everyone has different needs for inserting bottles. Therefore, the stem of this chrysanthemum should be raised longer. In this way, people can trim their bottles according to the height of their own bottles after buying them. ”
Seeing that there were doubts in everyone's eyes, she smiled again, "This is also the method I saw from the "Chrysanthemum Spectrum". However, the original method is to insert small bamboo branches next to each chrysanthemum to fix the chrysanthemum. I thought. In this way, it was not only troublesome and time-consuming, but I thought of such a method. ”
Qin Lang came over with Master Qin today. After Master Qin left, he and Tang Yuan stayed.
When they went to see the garden, he went with him. It's just that at that moment, I just cared, looking at everyone's surprised looks, and I was proud in my heart - he was the Bole who knew Maxima!
I didn't pay attention to what Pei Yan was saying. Anyway, in his heart, he already thought that she was a sensible person, so it was not strange for her to say anything.
Hearing this, I was also aroused a little interested. He interjected and asked. "How can chrysanthemums be planted when the net is spread on the ground?"
Pei Yan said, "That net has to be woven into a thick net with a mesh five inches square." In this way, when planting, the chrysanthemums are planted in the mesh, and the large net is fixed with wooden stakes around it. As the chrysanthemum grows, slowly lift the net upwards. In this way, it can be protected against wind and lodging. ”
She said. While gesturing to explain.
Everyone understood what they heard, but they were more and more surprised and shocked.
Only Qin Lang was triumphant. It's as if he came up with an idea on his own.
Wait until the discussion is over.
Zhang Dong didn't have time to eat lunch, so he hurriedly entered the city and told Master Qin about the matter here.
Master Qin never thought that he had only been away for less than two hours, and this little girl had already discussed so many things with Zhang Dong. Unexpectedly, she not only did her best to work for her family, but even thought of such a novel idea.
You've found a treasure this time, right?
After Zhang Dong left, he went straight to Mrs. Qin's courtyard and told her in detail about the matter here.
Old Madam Qin was also very surprised and happy, "According to this, she is really talented in this industry!" ”
"yes." Old Master Qin said with emotion. Now, apart from feeling that this girl is talented, he doesn't know what to say.
Old Mrs. Qin couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Lang has made a great contribution this time." I looked at him as if he was interested in this business. ”
Yu, who was standing beside her and waiting, couldn't help but stiffen his hand serving tea, what the old lady meant...... Don't you want Brother Lang to inherit the ancestral business?
If it is the ancestral industry next to it, it is understandable for the son-in-law to inherit it.
However, this craft of raising flowers and planting grass is a business that has gradually been lightly carried out in the Qin Mansion since the time of the old lady. No matter how good it is, it's better to follow the official career. Why should the two aunts have to go on a career in the future? And the only sister-in-law of the Qin family, but behind him, he has to run the family business to pave the way for them?
The Yu family is a hundred who do not want their sons to do such a thing in the future.
He gently handed the tea in his hand to the old lady, excused himself to go to the kitchen, and withdrew.
When Old Madam Qin saw this, she couldn't help but sigh heavily. No one wants to inherit it, and this ancestral inheritance can be saved for a while, but it can't be saved for a lifetime.
And in just half a day, Pei Yan, who was simple and happy when she was engaged in this business, found in the Qin family's garden, and didn't know the entanglement of several masters of the Qin family.
The mixed body is like an inexhaustible amount of energy, resting a little, and waiting for the sun to weaken a little. So he and Zhang Dong went to the flower market, and according to him, they went to the shop that specializes in flower fertilizer.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet someone in the flower market, and I didn't expect to meet there at all.
