Chapter Eighty-Nine: Camellias
Back in the back room, Zhang Taiping pruned the old stump, but he didn't dare to let it have too many unnatural changes. also put the unknown orchid into the space, this flower can't be taken out and sold for the time being, so it can only be allowed to grow slowly for a period of time to mix up a period of seniority.
After thinking about it, he closed the door, and disappeared into the room with a thought.
In the space where flowers and trees are planted, there is a clump of flowers dug up in front of the door of a stone house in the mountain. At that time, when I was in the mountains, my true face was hidden in the weeds, and I didn't recognize what it was, but after growing in the space for such a long time, it gradually revealed its beauty. But it is the famous camellia.
For the camellia Zhang Taiping is a long-term name, a Tianlong Babu runs through the camellia figure, camellia fertilizer includes rotted bone meal, hair, chicken feathers, bran ash, poultry manure and superphosphate and other substances, so Tianlong Babu Wang Yuyan is a little bit of a mother has the habit of using people to make fertilizers. Even if you don't know much about the camellia in front of you now, you can know that it is not ordinary.
Most of his knowledge of camellia stems from watching TV's explanation of Mrs. Wang at Mandala Villa. Although he also graduated from an agricultural university, due to the torture of illness at that time, he only passed the professional course, and spent most of his time flipping through books to find ways to cure himself, without too much expansion and extension of relevant knowledge and knowledge.
There are seven camellia plants in this cluster, and most of them are different. There are two plants that are about the same, with eight flowers on them, each of different colors, but they are not pure and unmixed. In Duan Yu's words, the color of the eight flowers is pure, and there must be two flower colors of dark purple and light red to be called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and now although these two plants also have deep purple and light red colors, they are not pure, so they cannot be called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", they can only be called "Eight Treasures Makeup", which is slightly inferior to "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".
There is also a tree with seven flowers on it, which are also different colors but not pure, and here are the so-called "Seven Fairies"; One plant is three-colored, and the other is two-colored. The three-color ones are known as the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust", presenting three colors: white, red and purple, representing the bearded guest, Li Jing and the red whisk girl. The two colors are called "two Qiao", divided into two colors, one red and one white, the red enthusiasm and white are cold, respectively, representing the little Qiao and the big Qiao, which is really a mother and two sisters competing for beauty. The color of these two tri-color and two-color plants is very pure and is of the highest quality.
The other two plants only have one flower, but the flower shape is slightly larger. A hexagonal tile of petals is neatly arranged, and a flower has hundreds of petals; The other is as big as a plate and as colorful as a brocade robe. Zhang Taiping didn't know what variety the former was, but he had a vague impression of the latter, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
A total of seven plants, Zhang Taiping first started from the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" and "Er Qiao" to water with space spring water, these two plants have little defects in color, but due to the fierce competition with weeds over the years, the shape of the flowers is not beautiful. Zhang Taiping poured the space spring water and prepared to lift them upright.
The spring water seeped in from the roots of "Erqiao", and the first thing you saw was that the whole plant grew taller and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the petals began to wither, falling to the ground and disappearing by the decomposition of the earth. Zhang Taiping continued to water her with spring water, and this time the plant itself no longer grew taller, but became more vigorous, and brewed flower bones, still two. After slowly opening, it is called a red and a white two pure colors, the red is warm and affectionate, and the white is plain and elegant. The size of the flower is more than double that of the previous one. It's easy to love.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping stopped with satisfaction and put "Er Qiao" aside for the time being. and paid attention to the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust".
Just like "Er Qiao", the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" have also undergone earth-shaking changes, the flowers are gorgeous and pure, and the plants have grown taller and grown, making up for the unmanaged malnutrition in the mountains over the years rather than congenital defects.
Then came the "Seven Fairies, seven flowers of different colors standing on their heads, just like the seven fairies in mythology." It's just that before the spring water of the space was watered, the seven fairies were like immortals who had fallen into the mortal world, and they were still beautiful but the south side had the breath of wind and dust. And after watering it with space spring water, it becomes more and more noble and has a trace of ethereal atmosphere, which is the real fairy standing in the clouds.
The next two plants are eight flowers and eight colors, but the colors are very mixed. Zhang Taiping taught more spring water when he was watering. This time it's not a slow change, but if you want to play a movie, you have gone through a few springs and autumns in just a few minutes, and have experienced several reincarnations. It was not until the third flowering that the effect of the spring water dissipated, and after the flower color and flower shape were finalized, Zhang Taiping carefully observed.
The other seven are all solid colors, and only one is red with white and white with purple on it, which is particularly conspicuous in a cluster of pure colors. Zhang Taiping shook his head and continued to water the space spring, and after two more seasons of reincarnation, one finally became eight solid colors.
But another strain had an accident. Just when it re-bloomed for the last time, instead of eight flowers, five more, for a total of thirteen! Zhang Taiping was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
Thirteen, thirteen flowers are not the "Thirteen Taibao". Thirteen colors are born on a single plant, which is a rare sight. Of course, there are also "Eighteen Bachelors" with eighteen colors born on one plant, but few people have ever seen the real "Eighteen Bachelors", and most of them belong to legends. As a result, the "Thirteen Taibao" became more and more precious.
It's just that the flower color of this "Thirteen Taibao" is not a pure color, only eight are pure colors, and the remaining five are all mottled and intersecting colors. Zhang Taiping calmed down, threw aside the other plants first, seriously changed this plant, and continued to water the spring.
Once, twice, three times watered six times, after more than a dozen flowers bloomed and fell, the spring water watered on the ground did not want to penetrate into the ground, Zhang Taiping finally stopped. Still not perfect, the last flower left is red and purple, and no amount of water can separate the two colors to become pure. I can't say whether it was a disappointment after I closed it, but I was a little regretful, but after all, this was mutated from the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and it was already powerful to the point that it was against the sky.
After experiencing the pure and perfect "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and the "Thirteen Taibao" with white and slightly flawed white walls, Zhang Taiping no longer has much enthusiasm for the remaining two plants that only bloom one flower. However, these two strains have also been changed in the spirit of beginning and finish.
Before Zhang Taiping's vague impression of the plant body after the transformation is the biggest change of a flower, the plant body has more than doubled in height, even the already large flower shape has more than doubled, to the size of a plate, the reddish-purple flower color makes people feel swaying.
Zhang Taiping patted his head and said to himself as if he was awake, he was really confused, he actually forgot about this stubble, isn't this the champion red who has set the name.
"Zhuang Yuan Hong" flowers are big and bright, like sunset. Legend has it that there is a champion who has been recruited as a colt, looking for relatives for thousands of miles, but unexpectedly saw a "wife" who was more than ten years older than him, who served his biological father for 17 years. Just when his biological father* was in the round house, a holy decree was passed to announce that he would enter Beijing and get married. His father's order was difficult to disobey, and the king could not be bullied, but he vomited blood and fell to the ground and died. In the second year, a peony was born on the tomb of the champion, the flower was as big as a plate, the color was like the champion brocade robe, and people called it "champion red".
As for the two flowers outside the plant, it also changes a lot, but Zhang Taiping still doesn't know that it is a Hazhong variety.
Zhang Taiping felt that his luck was really good, there was nothing to say, even if there was no change in the space spring, just the previous appearance of these flowers was worth a lot. Now after transformation and upgrading, the value is difficult to estimate.
Now these camellia have been transformed, because they need money, the unknown orchid is not convenient to sell for the time being, but no one has seen these camellias, after taking them out, it is the first time to show them in front of everyone, it is the first impression, even if people are surprised, they will not suspect anything, they will only sigh that their means of raising flowers are clever, and they can be taken out and sold.
But Zhang Taiping didn't want to sell these completely, which would be a bit too high-profile and easy to cause a sensation, so he was just going to take out the "Zhuangyuan Hong", "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" and "Er Qiao" to sell, and the rest would be sold when the time was up or when the money was urgently needed, so he would keep them in the space.
Zhang Taiping temporarily made a few simple flower pots with wooden boards, and moved the three camellia plants into the flower pots, the soil is the red soil in the space, and a little spring water is sprinkled with a little spring water, so as not to cause any situation because of the change of environment and the relocation of a place.
Out of the space, I opened the things that I planned to sell for money on the windowsill in a row, and counted them, and there were really a lot. One golden cinnamon, three chrysanthemums, three pots of camellias, and an old stump, a total of eight pieces. It's just that the camellia and the old stump are planted in wooden flower pots, and Zhang Taiping thought in his heart that he should buy a few flower pots back, otherwise this wooden flower pot will definitely affect the overall effect, so the high price will be reduced.
After doing these tasks, Zhang Taiping came out of the back room and came to the front yard, it was only a little more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the winter sun was shining on people, warm.
Cai Yazhi was still sitting at the door making shoes, and when she saw Zhang Taiping coming out, she brought the shoes that had not yet been made to Zhang Taiping, and motioned him to try if there was anything inappropriate for the size to improve. Zhang Taiping tried Ganghe's feet, obviously she measured the size of Zhang Taiping's feet, just to make sure it fitted again.
Zhang Taiping actually wears the same shoes in winter, I believe that even if you don't wear shoes in the snow, you can stand it, but this is a part of his wife's heart, although it doesn't have much effect on the feet, but it is warm in the heart.
