Chapter 114: Mandarin Duck Grass

After three days of sowing, there are fields planted with mandarin duck grass, and at this time, the one behind the Zhuangzi is full of special flowers. Not to mention that the people in Lijia Village have never seen it, even Ling'er hasn't seen it either, it was just imagined from the cousin's description before, but now when she saw this special flower, Ling'er fell in love immediately.

This mandarin duck grass is a herbaceous plant, the plant is not very tall, and the whole looks a little like an orchid grass, but if you look closely, its leaves are not as smooth as orchid grass, but with fine serrations. It is soft and prickly to the touch, and the most special thing about it is its roots and flowers. Let's talk about its roots first, and when the seeds are ripe, their roots will grow like grapes. The roots of almost a single grass will have more than a dozen hard roots about the size of peanut kernels, so they must be ploughed out at the time of the autumn harvest to collect, and if they are pulled outward by brute force, the roots will remain in the soil completely.

Let's talk about its flowers, its flowers only have two petals, and they look a little like butterflies, which is not the most special, the most special thing is that it only has two flowers in one grass, and these two flowers are different colors. One is blue, while the other is pink, and it is precisely because of its twin nature that the predecessors named it Mandarin Duck Grass. The grass blooms twice a year, once in mid-summer and again in late fall, and then withers.

Of course, Ling'er didn't say so much to them, just let them take care of it carefully. In fact, Ling'er planted them for great use, and the master of the step-grandfather's cousin passed down a special recipe, and the seeds and roots of this mandarin duck grass are the most critical introduction. Although the recipe has a history of almost 100 years, it has not been passed down to the world, mainly because his step-grandfather's cousin and his master Lu Rong have a strange personality, he thinks this recipe is too troublesome, and the wine brewed is not only not strong but also not intoxicating at all. In his opinion, if it is not strong or intoxicating, it cannot be regarded as wine, not to mention that it can only cure diseases and strengthen the body, even if it can bring the dead back to life, he is impatient to brew it.

So for many years, he didn't take this recipe in his eyes at all, but kept it as a relic of the master, and later Ling'er and the others planned to enter Beijing to open a shop, so he asked his step-ancestor to hand it over to them, thinking that they could use it. Unexpectedly, because of this Fang Ziling'er, they not only made a comeback, but also hundreds of floors and became one of the richest people in the Dafeng Dynasty, of course, this is many years later.

"Girl, Miss Min, they will arrive at Zhuangzi after entering the village for a while." Qiao'er reports Min'er's whereabouts to Ling'er. Originally, there was no road before Zhuangzi was built, and the villagers went to the ground on the small hair road that everyone had stepped on for many years. Later, Ling'er built Zhuangzi, and when everyone heard that she wanted to build a road, they automatically and spontaneously repaired the road in front of Zhuangzi and in the village. Ling'er saw that they didn't accept money, so he ate and drank well every day for the people who built the road, and after the completion of the work, another person gave a gift, and in the end, everyone counted more than they asked for wages.

"Okay, let's go outside the door to greet you." When Ling'er saw that the mandarin duck grass behind Zhuangzi was blooming, she sent someone to inform Min'er to let them come to Zhuangzi to live for a few days, and Ling'er has not left since Zhuangzi was built.

"On this hot day, how can you stand outside stupidly and carefully suffer from the heat." Min'er saw Ling'er standing outside the door waiting for their carriage from a distance in the car, and couldn't help but nag after getting out of the car.

"How can you be so squeamish? Am I missing you? Ling'er took the little treasure in her mother-in-law's hand and kissed her fiercely, and the little guy also kissed her fiercely.

"Xiaobao, do you miss your aunt?" Ling'er asked while kissing. Xiaobao can't speak now, only to see him slam his chest with his little fleshy hand, meaning that he misses her in his heart. This can make everyone laugh, and they all say that this little boy is smart and cute.

"Sister, Xiaobao hasn't grown up for a while, I can't hold it anymore." Ling'er carried Xiaobao into the house and put him down, why did this little thing sink so much at once, good guy?

"This kid has eaten everything since he went back here, and he used to be coaxed and fed everywhere, but now he can grab and eat it himself." As soon as Min'er mentioned her son, motherhood was overflowing.

"Then let him stay here more, and it's not okay to be confined to the house all the time." Ling'er thinks that children should be closer to nature, and it doesn't hurt to run more.

"You know how to spoil him, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to control it when he stays wild here." Min'er doesn't want her son to play wild in the future, she still wants him to go to school.

"Don't worry, how can you be wild?" Although Ling'er doesn't agree with Min'er's point of view, she won't talk to her too much, anyway, saying and doing are two different things.

"Let's go, let's go see the flowers." Min'er saw that Xiaobao couldn't stay in the house, so she planned to go and see the flowers, Ling'er saw her like this, thinking how old it was for a while, how can you restrain him in the future?

"Come to Xiaobao, aunt hug, let's go see Huahua." Ling'er led the group to the open space behind Zhuangzi.

When everyone saw the scenery in front of them, they were stunned, although it was only about 100 square meters, it was full of two-color flowers about the size of a dollar coin. In the midst of green, dotted with small blue and pink flowers, like stars in the sky. Min'er shed tears even more happily, in her eyes, this is not just a beautiful flower, this is their hope. Although she just wants to raise the child safely and find a good in-law for Ling'er. But if they are not strong, there is no way to be stable, and for more than a month, she has been constantly recalling and practicing every day in order to be able to successfully brew the wine on the recipe when the autumn harvest comes.

"Sister, why are you still crying?" Ling'er handed the handkerchief to Min'er, she knew Min'er's thoughts, and she could let go of the hatred in her heart for Xiaobao's sake. But she can't, although Yi Junan stabilized Ding's family, the premise is that Ding's family doesn't know Xiaobao's existence, if she knows, will it be like this? Besides, she doesn't want to leave it like this, she must be strong, and one day she will let the Ding family survive and not die.

"I'm so happy, I really hope that autumn will come soon, and then we can experiment." Min'er said.

"Sister, you still cherish the present days, it is impossible for you to think about such a light leisure after the autumn harvest." After Ling'er finished speaking, she ran to chase Xiaobao, and the little guy had already run into the grass to chase butterflies.

Min'er looked at the two who were having fun, and her heart drifted into the distance, who rescued her father and Aunt Liu? Zhao Shu, where have you been? Why is there no news at all? Mother, have you blessed us in heaven? When will we be reunited?

Xiaobao fell in love with this Zhuangzi, he would run outside as long as he opened his eyes every day, and he was completely familiar with Zhuangzi in only five days, although he was not very good at speaking, but he could understand the simple words completely.

"Xiaobao, let's come back in two days, and now go home with my mother." Min'er said that it was useless, Xiaobao just hugged the fruit tree in the yard and didn't let go.

"Sister, Xiaobao doesn't want to leave, so you can leave him." Ling'er couldn't bear to see the child's pitiful appearance.

"If it weren't for him, why would I be in a hurry, look at what he's like now?" Min'er really can't stand Xiaobao running around crazy every day, and she can't see it clean when she changes eight sets a day.

"Xiaobao, let me tell you, you have to leave today." Min'er said angrily, and Xiaobao cried as soon as she saw her mother's face.

"Sister, what are you doing here, the hot day beckons him to cry, and he is on fire carefully." Ling'er was busy coaxing Xiaobao, but Xiaobao ignored her, staring at Min'er with a pair of big watery eyes. Min'er sighed, squatted in front of Xiaobao and asked softly:

"Xiaobao, do you listen to your mother?" Xiaobao nodded vigorously, and the cute appearance was very cute.

"Then the mother will leave now, will you go with the mother?" Min'er asked again, and Xiaobao nodded vigorously when she saw her serious expression.

"Then come over and let my mother hug me." Min'er said with her open arms, Xiaobao suddenly threw herself into her arms, but hugged her neck and cried awry, Ling'er wanted to go forward to hug him, but heard Min'er say as she walked towards the carriage:

"Xiaobao, you have to remember, you are a man, you will protect your mother and aunt in the future, you can't always cry......" Ling'er stood in place instantly, tears filled her eyes, Min'er ...... Xiaobao ......

Since the last time Xiaobao cried and refused to leave, Min'er hadn't brought him to Zhuangzi again, but Ling'er went back a few times, and she found that Min'er was more strict with Xiaobao than in the past. I talked to her a few times and didn't understand, so angry that Ling'er didn't go back for more than a month, she didn't understand why Min'er taught her children like this, isn't it good to let children have a happy childhood?

"Girl, the seed is ripe, do you want to go and see it?" Zhao Kang said excitedly, although he didn't know what the use of this grass was, he knew that Min'er and Ling'er attached great importance to this grass, which meant the importance of this grass.

"Okay, let's see." Ling'er put down the pen in her hand, locked the written plan into a drawer, and went out with Zhao Kang, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Min'er's anger should be gone, right? This time it's just to take advantage of this matter to ease up, this is the first time they have been making trouble for so long.

"I've seen the Spirit Girl, and the seeds in this field have turned red." Li Er was also very excited to see Ling'er, and now the entire Lijia Village knew that Ling'er had planted a hundred acres of flowers and plants, and they all said that she was a young lady from a rich family who didn't know the suffering of the world. Li Er wanted to prove to them that his girl was not what they said, and that they were very wise, but the girl said that they were not allowed to talk about the things in the Zhuangzi, so they never refuted those long-tongued women.

"Yes, you go and call everyone, let's start harvesting the seeds, remember to be careful not to scatter them." Ling'er squatted down as she spoke, carefully removing the seeds. (To be continued.) )
