Chapter 29: Bonsai (1)
After arranging the affairs of Wenbo and Wenhao, Li Xin took his two younger sisters back to Osmanthus Village. There are still so many things to take care of at home, and you can't stay in the town all the time.
Back at home, Li Xin had to go to the fields every day to take a look. The rice is growing well, much greener than when it was first planted, and it should not take long for it to tiller. Corn seedlings have also emerged, and sweet potatoes have survived. It's still early before weeding, so she's not busy taking care of the family's fields alone. It is to take a look at the rice paddies often, and if there is no water, put some water in it.
Now she doesn't have to take care of the things at home, Yuexiang will do the lighter housework, and she can take Yueting with her by the way.
Wen Bo and Wen Hao are also well-behaved in the academy and study very seriously. They only have a vacation once a decade, and Li Xin is reluctant for them to run all the way back to the village, so when they are on vacation, she will take Yuexiang and Yueting to live in the town, and cook them some delicious food by the way. Although the two of them eat well at Pinxiangge every day, her skills may not be as good as that of the chef of Shangpinxiangge, but it can be regarded as her heart.
The leisurely days passed quickly, and it was July in a blink of an eye. The colorful cherry peppers and cherry tomatoes that Li Xin planted alone in the vegetable garden behind him had already borne fruit, and the fruit was already ripe by this time. Colorful cherry peppers bear fruit one by one, because the length of fruiting time is different, the peppers will also change color, so a colorful cherry pepper will also show different colors of small peppers.
The peppers are small, like cherries, and they are different in color, and they are beautiful and cute. The colorful cherry peppers are very spicy, and Li Xin doesn't dare to pick them to eat, that is, they look good when they are put to watch. The cherry peppers of the same plant are very gorgeous, and the crystal seven-colored peppers are dotted among the green leaves like colorful pearls, which is very bright. And cherry tomatoes also bear a lot of fruit, some are slowly ripe, some are small, and the color is also green, and there are still flowers between the branches and leaves, so you can imagine that there will be a lot more in the future.
In fact, if you pick the ripe fruit early, then it will bear more fruit later. However, Li Xin wanted to keep some and sell them as potted plants, so he didn't pick them for the time being.
Three different colors of cherry tomatoes have their own characteristics, cherry tomatoes are small but have many knots, so it looks like the fruit is dense, it is also very good-looking, milky white crystal clear, black purple noble and calm, jade as if the best imperial emerald is very gorgeous.
Li Xin wanted to make potted plants, so he went to the place where the flower pots were burned some time ago and customized a batch of flower pots, a total of 250 of them. The pot is not very large, and a single pot can be used to plant a colorful cherry pepper or a cherry tomato. When the cherry peppers and cherry tomatoes were almost long, Li Xin carefully dug them out one by one and planted them in flower pots.
Fortunately, the cherry pepper is not very tall, and the fruit is small, so it does not crush the branches. So transplant it carefully into a pot and water it with a little water. However, cherry tomatoes are a little troublesome, although the fruit is not big, but there are many fruits, one by one, and the branches are directly bent. While transplanting, Li Xin also had to get some ropes and small branches to fix it, so even if it was two hundred and fifty potted plants, she was very tired.
When transplanting, she also got a few plants to plant in the yard, and she didn't have time to plant some flowers and trees, so the courtyard was very empty, and at this time it was a little more colorful. Such a petite and delicate thing is the most popular for girls, Yuexiang and Yueting like it very much, they have to watch it several times a day, and Yueting knows that she has to water it seriously.
But once Yueting actually picked cherry peppers to eat, and cried in the yard spicy, which really scared Li Xin, and after knowing the truth, she really couldn't cry or laugh. It was before, Li Xin looked at the ripe cherry tomatoes and picked some for Yuexiang and Yueting to eat, both of them liked to eat very much. Then Yueting saw that the cherry pepper was also so beautiful and cute, and thought it was delicious, so she picked it and ate it herself. Cherry pepper looked small, Yueting directly threw two into her mouth and chewed, but she didn't cry straight from the spicy.
The third day of July is Yueting's fifth birthday, and early in the morning, the guys from Pinxiangge came to pull pumpkins. Early in the morning, Li Xin picked the pumpkins, and put them in the carriage when the guys came. Li Xin wanted to take Yuexiang and Yueting to the town, so he told his buddy that he wanted to take a ride. The guy has been to their house many times, so he is reluctant to let the three Li Xin sisters get in the car.
Li Xin asked Yuexiang and Yueting to get in the car first, and she brought several pots of cherry peppers and cherry tomatoes out of the vegetable garden. First, she thought about taking it to show Shopkeeper Sun, who was in business in the end, and he was well-informed, so let him see if he could sell it. Moreover, she really didn't know how to sell it, and wanted to see if there was a way for the shopkeeper Sun. It must be sold outside, a small town like Sanshi Town is too small, and there are not many rich people in the town, not to mention the question of whether it can be sold, the price alone will definitely not be able to sell.
Again, she also thought that Wen Bo and Wen Hao hadn't seen cherry peppers and cherry tomatoes yet! I carried a few pots to the house in the town to put them, and it looked like a good scenery, and the cherry tomatoes could still be eaten.
She only planted more than 100 cherry peppers, this time she transplanted a hundred in pots, and some were transplanted in the yard, and there were only a few left in the vegetable garden, and she thought about keeping the seeds. There were more cherry tomatoes, about a hundred of them of each color, and this time fifty of them were transplanted in pots of one color, and some were left, some were planted in the yard, and most of them remained in the garden. Those Li Xin, who don't make potted plants, also think about keeping them at home to eat, and they can also raise some seeds. So early this morning, she also picked a lot of cherry tomatoes and put two small bamboo baskets.
put everything in the carriage, and Li Xin also got into the carriage. The speed of the carriage was definitely not comparable to that of the ox cart, and it was very fast to get to the town, but it was only a quarter of an hour or so. When I arrived in the town, I went straight to Pinxiang Pavilion. Li Xin got out of the carriage, gave some cherry tomatoes in the basket to the man, and then went to the store to meet the shopkeeper Sun.
Since Pinxiangge sold dishes made with sour bamboo shoots, Pinxiangge's business was better, and then there have always been dishes made of potatoes and pumpkins, and many people also like to come and try it, so the business has always been very good, and the shopkeeper Sun also loves to laugh more, and when he saw the three Li Xin sisters, he smiled and asked them to go upstairs to sit in the private room. (Lots of support!) All kinds of begging! )
