Chapter 117: Something Else
The texture of this rustle in the hand, and this slightly familiar taste.
Lin Shuqing took one out and tasted it, this! It is the taste of cumin!
God knows how long she has been eating dried mutton, it is dry and fishy, at most it is boiled mutton, and the most luxurious thing in it is to add a piece of green onion and cook it together.
How happy I am to be able to eat a handful of kebabs sprinkled with nature, and now I think about it!
"Do you know this Boss Zhang?" Lin Shuqing asked.
took out a handful of cumin from the bag and handed it to Zhang Liqiang.
Zhang Liqiang took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, sniffed it, and knew it in his chest.
"This is benzoin fennel, brought in by a merchant outside. Five taels of silver a pound, which is not expensive compared to ambergris. Many wealthy families in Hangzhou City use this benzoin fennel to incense. ”
"You can also buy it from the spice shop outside, does the girl like it? There aren't many of them, about two or three taels of silver. Zhang Liqiang looked at Lin Shuqing.
When she heard that this was a situation where spice shops outside could buy it casually, Lin Shuqing couldn't help but want to vomit blood.
I first listened to the words of the shopkeeper, and only cared about looking for a tomato, and then I found a chili pepper, and then I found that this cumin is also something that can be seen everywhere outside.
Xigui County is really poor, if it were in a prosperous place, there would definitely be no such troubles.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuqing unconsciously changed her mind.
Why bother looking for the merchants of this state, just look for it here?
There may be an unexpected bonus, such as this cumin.
"Miss Lin likes it, let's put this bag in Miss Lin's hands." Zhang Liqiang said pleasantly.
The two went back to the inn side by side, agreeing to take a good look the next day.
Lin Shuqing got up the next morning, took a pair of scissors, and built the red lotus in the jar.
Then he took out a pen and paper and recorded it clearly.
The main reason for this wilting is the blight spots, which have withered around the outside, and the growth is too poor.
Lin Shuqing took out another handful of mud underneath, turned it out and looked at it, carefully observing the situation of the mud. The mud is too loose, and it comes out as soon as it is fished out, and the roots of the lotus leaves are a little untenable.
Then he instructed the woman, "Go find some dung from chickens, ducks and cows, throw it at the bottom of the water tank, spread another layer of mud on it, and I will plant this lotus flower." ”
After Lin Shuqing planted the flowers, she poured some water from the river into it.
She looked at the son surnamed Xie, and estimated that he had poured mountain spring water here.
Compared with mountain spring water, plants are still more nutritious from rivers and rainwater. Pure water does not necessarily mean good water.
Flowers, like people, also need to absorb trace elements in nature in order to thrive.
Compared with the water in the tank just now, the water in it is obviously much less, and the woman carried the bucket and asked, "Childe, don't you add more water to it?" Look at how shallow the water is. ”
Lin Shuqing waved her hand and hurriedly dissuaded: "No need, just do it, I didn't ask you to add water, don't add it." Wait for someone to move it out into the sun and bask in the sun. ”
Naturally, the flowers raised in the tank are not as good as those grown naturally in the soil.
Soil naturally regulates its own moisture, and if it is more, it can penetrate into the ground.
A large part of the reason why this red lotus can wither like this is that there is too much water, so that it can't breathe, and the branches and leaves are about to suffocate, and it will wither and yellow.
As for the bones and stuff she prepared, it was just some simple fertilizer.
In short, it is to put the flower in a good environment, let it sleep and eat well on its own, and survive on its own.
There is never a secret to raising flowers, and raising people is almost the same.
Lin Shuqing finished working here, and took Boss Zhang to the street.
A few darts still have their own things to do, and they came here to bring some dart goods, Lin Shuqing just went out for a walk, and he didn't plan to trouble them.
Compared to last night's prosperity, it is now even better.
There are many people who get up early to sell goods and sell goods, and there are many businessmen who are dusty.
Lin Shuqing took Boss Zhang and went straight to the spice store and the medicinal herb shop.
Compared with those ordinary things such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf and green peppers, Lin Shuqing also found a lot of exotic seasonings, including pepper cumin.
"Boss Zhang, can anyone grow these things here? This looks a bit expensive. Lin Shuqing asked at the pair of spices.
The person who was watching the store was a young man, who was guarding Lin Shuqing and the others with an impatient expression. The decoration of this shop is resplendent and splendid, and there is also a tea pavilion for a break next to it, with a set of valuable tea sets.
"You're really good at talking, we all transported it from Fanbang, thousands of miles away. If someone can plant, I will give you your head as a stool to sit on. The guy said directly.
If you want to talk about how to grow this pepper, she really knows.
It's just that this person's attitude is so bad that she has no heart to buy seeds.
"Boss Zhang, let's change stores." Lin Shuqing said.
"Okay."
Seeing that the two of them had been picking for a long time and had not bought anything at all, the guy's face became even more ugly.
"No money, no money, what spices do you come to buy, delay people's efforts." The guy complained after him.
Lin Shuqing didn't want to argue with him, he was not the only one selling spices on this street, so he had so many choices, why did he come here.
Why spend money and call people uncles?
Lin Shuqing took Zhang Liqiang to take a closer look, looking for a store that was not so rich in decoration and looked clean and refreshing.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a rich physique, and when he saw them come in, he immediately smiled, put down his things and began to greet them.
"Guest officer, please go inside, what flavor do you like, see for yourself."
Lin Shuqing looked at the quality of the spices in this shop, and looked at the same condition.
Compared with the delicate appearance over there, there are some traces of dryness here, such as this star anise. Of course, at this price, it is cheaper by more than one or two silver.
Look, it's much more comfortable.
Of course, it's not because it's cheaper, but because of the smell in the store.
The shop is not very large, but it has a variety of spices with different smells and a small partition in the middle.
Everywhere you go, you can feel the change in smell.
It is a gradual change, clear and hierarchical.
It's not like they started to go in, and all kinds of messy smells were mixed up.
Although it is expensive, it is also dizzy.
When it comes to growing pepper and nature, this side can also be planted.
But you have to catch up with the season and take advantage of the heat to harvest. One season may be harvested once in the summer, and the rest of the season is wasted.
But if you go south, it's different in other places.
