Chapter 063: Huadi Ai's mother is advanced
Ai Ma knew that the two brothers of the Bai family were not interested in tea, so they said to the two: "They must have chatted for a long time, our aunt and nephew went to the store next door to see, I found that there is a seed store, there are all kinds of fruit trees, flowers and tea tree seeds, we went to buy some seeds unique to Guangzhou and took them back to try planting, it just so happens that there is a vacant land in our backyard." ”
"Okay, okay, let's buy more fruit seeds, and we will have whatever fruit we eat in the future!"
Children are like this, they don't understand at all, and if fruits want to grow, they need a unique growth environment. After listening to the words of the two brothers of the Bai family, Tian Peilan and Dong Jingjing also joined Ai Ma and their team.
Ai Xiaoyu and Nie Xinyuan smiled very tacitly, and they knew that Ai Ma bought all kinds of seeds unique to Guangzhou, mainly collected for Ai Xiaoyu's ring space, where any kind of plant could grow very well.
"Mom, you collect more fruit seeds, such as lychees, bananas, papayas, pineapples, mangoes, star fruits, pomegranates, longans, white olives, black olives, yellow peels, bayberry, jackfruit, sanhua plums, watermelons, etc. Whatever we don't have, you collect it and see which fruits can grow when the time comes. ”
Ai Xiaoyu watched Ai Dad's kung fu chatting with the old man after a while, and admired it very much, Ai Dad is now more and more mature, and can deal with different people very successfully without showing timidity, and the unique peasant soil taste on his body will disappear without knowing when the road will disappear.
Walking the whole street, it was getting dark.
Ai Ma said to everyone, "It seems that we have to rest in Fang Village tonight." Find a clean hotel now, spend another day in Fangcun tomorrow, and take the train back to Chongqing the day after tomorrow! ”
"Ah, second aunt, we haven't seen the sea yet!" When Bai Shibing heard that he was leaving Guangzhou, he remembered that they came to Guangzhou but did not see the sea, which was a pity.
"We've been out for a week, and the leave for you is about to expire, and besides, don't we see the Pearl River when we get in the car? The water of the Pearl River flows into the sea. Next year, next year we will go to Hainan to play, how about it? There is the blue sky and white cloud beach, the hometown of the sea! ”
"Okay then."
Historically, Fangcun is famous for its flowers. Fangcun is known as the "first flower town in Lingnan". Flower is a traditional industry in Fangcun, it can be said that Fangcun is "first there are flowers and then tea", and it is flowers that have led to the development of tea later.
"Under the twilight pavilion, the remaining flowers are full of passenger boats", this is Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who is known as "the first person in Lingnan", describing the flowers of Fangcun Ferry. It can be seen from the poem that during the Tang Dynasty, Fangcun was still the world of flowers.
The history of tea planting in Fangcun is from the Southern Song Dynasty after the Li family and Yan family of Jiangsu and Zhejiang moved south to Guangzhou, the Li family and Yan family have made a living by planting tea for generations, and after living in Fangcun Village, Guangzhou, they rented land to open up tea fields, and still inherited their ancestors, taking tea planting as a business, after a hundred years, the population gradually multiplied and prospered, and a new village was built, named Chajiao Village.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the flower planting in Fangcun was very prosperous, and the flower market also came into being; In the tea planting industry, many tea business giants have also emerged. At that time, there were more than 30 gardens in Fangcun Flower Field, and there were tea houses in each garden, and the tea houses were built with pavilions, which could overlook the Pearl River and Baiyun Mountain. The teahouse is equipped with a tea house of opera and music for tea guests to enjoy tea, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come to Fangcun every day to enjoy flowers and tea, making Fangcun the most active place for tea culture in Guangzhou.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the social turmoil in Guangzhou, the soaring prices, and the shortage of food, the villagers of Chajiao destroyed the tea fields and planted grain for food and clothing.
In 1956, the Ministry of Light Industry of the Central Committee invested in the construction of Guangzhou Baihua Spice Factory. The factory is located in Fangcun Flower Field, is the first natural spice factory in China, mainly producing jasmine, magnolia, roses and other spices, its raw materials are specially supplied by Fangcun area, Fangcun has risen fragrant flower raw material planting, jasmine planting has developed rapidly.
In the early 60s of the 20th century, the people of Guangning County knew that Fangcun was the hometown of tea planting, and it was the hometown of jasmine, some people took the lead in opening a tea workshop in Fangcun Dongqishi, and transported the wild mountain tea produced in Guangning County to the mountain village Dongqishi Road, and used the old houses of local farmers as workshops to produce jasmine tea in large quantities, because of its high quality and low price, it was welcomed by the masses, and some products were shipped to northern cities, and even exported to Hong Kong and Macao.
By the early 80s, the reform and opening up, along the river, the Fangcun tea market took shape. There are more than 50 township enterprises and individual tea merchants gathered in the area of Dongqishi Road and the mountain village of Kwai Peng, forming a primary tea market for production and sales.
Until the early 90s, Fangcun has built a regular tea shop, and the flower culture and tea culture of Fangcun have penetrated into the bone marrow of the people here.
Walking among the villages of Fangcun Flower Field, Ai Xiaoyu always feels that there is the fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of fruits, and the charm of tea everywhere.
There are clouds in Kang Youwei's "People Travel to Huadai": "The millennium flower is still in full bloom, and Liu Lang can return today."
"Mom, there are so many bonsai in Fangcun, so beautiful, if our house is close to here, we can take some back."
Fangcun is one of the birthplaces of Lingnan bonsai art, bonsai artists learn from the art and theory of Lingnan painting school, and constantly study and innovate bonsai art, plus Fangcun bonsai plant resources are abundant, there are dozens of varieties such as nine mile incense, elm, Fujian tea, finch plum, cycad, starry sky, rhododendron, pine and cypress, pomegranate, red apricot, etc., so it can create a unique Lingnan bonsai, its level is rich, the style is vigorous and natural, elegant and bold.
"Hehe, no way, let's go find the seeds of these plants, the seeds are easy to carry, we will buy some of everything, maybe these plants unique to Guangzhou can be planted by us in Jiangjin."
When we go back to Guangzhou in the afternoon, we will go to the largest bookstore there to buy some related books, and we will take them back and study them ourselves. ”
Ai Ma is also a career-minded person now, wherever she goes, she will not forget the business experience, now all over the development of real estate, environmental gardening will develop, everywhere is an opportunity, are business opportunities.
Her daughter often talks about environmental protection issues, and she is also very worried that the city's greening cannot keep up with the construction along the way from Sichuan to Guangzhou. If this continues, it will be better to live in the city than in the countryside in the future, at least the rural air is fresh, and the fruits and vegetables are fragrant.
Zhilu Dao's daughter has a ring space, even if it is not to make money, in order to have a natural and healthy social living environment for future generations, she is also making her career bigger and stronger!
When the time comes, their family will influence the people next to them, and the people next to them will influence other people, and they will all promote a healthy, natural, and green life, and life will definitely be very meaningful. With Tai Chi exercises, their family has a longer lifespan, and making money is not the end of the family, but just a means and tools.
At this time, the aura around Ai Ma gathered one after another, forming a huge invisible and colorless aura vortex, one by one rushing into Ai Ma's body, Ai Xiaoyu found that Ai Ma had advanced her exercises at this moment, and entered the Qi Refining Realm from the Qi Formation Realm.
No one thought that Ai Ma was the first person to advance, Ai Ma usually cultivates without showing the dew, because her state of mind was perfect just now, and her cultivation has also improved.
Ai Xiaoyu must be surprised if she knows what Ai Ma thinks now, a few months ago, Ai Ma was still struggling with food and clothing, but now Ai Ma is out of money and thinks of the meaning of life, such a transition only took about ten months, all of which may be due to the changes that the ring space has brought to the Ai family.
Between giving and giving, Ai Ma's thoughts have been sublimated, and she has slowly influenced the people next to her. Ai Xiaoyu was also influenced by Ai's mother, and the indifference and selfishness that brought her previous life to this life gradually disappeared, her mind was relaxed, and her thoughts were sublimated.
When Ai Ma woke up from the epiphany, Nie Xinyuan was the first to react and asked, "Ai Ma, have you advanced your exercises?" That's amazing! I just felt a very powerful aura gathered around me! I tried to absorb them into my body, but they didn't enter the door and didn't stay, they just swirled around in my body and left again, which made me angry! ”
Ai Ma listened to Nie Xinyuan's words, and also found that this child was too talented in martial arts, and he was also the only one who benefited from Ai Ma's advancement. Ai Ma felt that he should be about to enter the Qi Condensation Realm, and without Tai Chi Internal Strength, Nie Xinyuan actually succeeded in inducing Qi into his body, which was too surprising!
At this time, Ai Xiaoyu also reacted, she always thought that she would be the first person to advance, but she didn't expect that Ai's mother was one step ahead of her, although it was a pity, but now she is really happy for Ai's mother!
"Mom, you are amazing, you are my pride!"
Ai's father listened to his daughter's words and was unhappy, "Your mother is your pride, what is your father?" ”
"Dad? Daddy, you're mine...... Ha Luha, I won't talk about it, and when you also advance, I'll talk about it again!
Now, let's visit the Luo clan ancestral hall in Huadi, and listen to the villagers say that there was the first gardening professional school in Guangzhou! ”
Standing outside the door to look at the Luo clan ancestral hall, blue bricks, red sandstone feet, hard mountain tops, green gray tube tiles...... The style of the past is not clear, but the vicissitudes of history seem to be within reach.
The gatekeeper here told the group that this ancient ancestral hall is the site of the first horticultural school in Guangzhou, and it is it that has cultivated the first batch of outstanding landscaping engineering talents in the city, the province and even the country!
Unexpectedly, Ai Xiaoyu found a few books thrown in the corner, still handwritten, talking about how to grow vegetables and fruits, as well as some flower cutting, barge, cutting, pressing and other propagation techniques, as well as potted pruning skills.
She took advantage of everyone's inattention, walked behind the crowd, and received all the books into the ring space before leaving, no one can find such a detailed written record of these professional knowledge, these skills are generally passed down by word of mouth.
