In a short time, the cucumber seedlings will grow to two leaves and one heart at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Prince Qiu used a dagger to cut off the stem of the cucumber seedling with a blade at the bottom of the joint, leaving only the grafted seedling.

After a short while, the grafted seedlings had grown to three leaves, and Prince Qiu removed the wooden clips that were used to hold them in place.

According to the rules of Huaxia, at this time, you should also spray chlorothalonil 500-800 times to prevent downy mildew.

However, in this world, Xiao Qiongzhi noticed that whether it was the fruit trees in the orchard or the melons and fruits in the field here, their roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits were all robust, and there was no sign of infection at all.

Maybe it's because this world is guarded by formations, so all crops are infectable or not susceptible to disease.

She didn't say anything, and continued to stare at Prince Qiu's movements.

At this time, although Prince Qiu removed the wooden clips on the grafted seedlings, he did not spray the grafted seedlings with drugs to prevent downy mildew.

The grafted seedlings look very robust all the time, and soon, they will grow to 4-5 leaves, and they will reach the planting stage.

According to the rules of Huaxia, before planting, it is necessary to apply enough organic fertilizer, pave the mulch, and pay attention to the depth of the soil when planting, and not exceed the joint of the grafting, so as not to produce adventitious roots after the cucumber stem touches the soil, resulting in the failure of grafting cultivation.

However, when Prince Qiu actually operated, he did not apply organic fertilizer and spread mulch.

He only paid attention to the depth of the soil at the time of planting, and did not let them exceed the joints of the grafting.

Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the field very casually, and in that place, a well with a diameter of about one meter appeared.

As if by magic, he took out a porcelain bowl that had been filled with water, scooped a small half bowl of water from the well, and gently poured it drop by drop into the small soil pit area where the roots of the grafted seedlings were buried.

Perhaps, in his heart, he felt that the water in the well was very precious.

Ten grafted seedlings were grafted, and ten small soil pits were used, but he only watered this small half bowl of water.

"In my experience, when transplanting and planting grafted seedlings, half a bowl of water needs to be poured on each stem." When Xiao Qiongzhi saw this, he couldn't help but remind him seriously.

"Zhi'er, the water you water is the water of the mortal world, so you need half a bowl for each bucket. And the water in my well is the spiritual water containing water and spiritual energy in the Firmament Star Spirit River, which is different from the water in the mortal world, a few drops and a dip are enough. Prince Qiu explained with a smile.

Xiao Qiongzhi understood, nodded at him, and carefully observed the next changes of the grafted seedlings with him.

It is also magical, the ten grafted seedlings, after each prince poured a few drops of spiritual water, are like a sponge that absorbs water, and starts a very amazing rapid growth rhythm.

In a few moments, they grew a long vine with two tendrils on it.

This requires a wooden branch to be fixed next to them by cutting a wooden branch to build a shelf, so that it can continue to grow along the wooden branch.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought that Prince Qiu would use local materials like he had done before, and go to the cucumber field to pull ready-made wooden branches for cuttings and shelves.

Unexpectedly, she was just like this, and the puppet Zhuang Xiaozhou, who left at some point, suddenly appeared at this time.

When he appeared, the puppet Zhuang Xiao Zhou was also carrying a bundle of dried bamboo branches about two meters long on his back.

That's a good thing.

It may be that the vine whiskers of cucumbers will be wrapped around the wooden branches used to build shelves, so that you can absorb the nutrients in the wooden branches or something, Xiao Qiongzhi was in Huaxia, and found that cucumbers are built with different wooden branches, and the cucumbers that bear fruit on the vine will taste different.

For example, if you use neem branches to build a shelf, the cucumbers that grow on the cucumber vine are nine times out of ten, and they are two centimeters away from the melon side, which is particularly bitter.

When you're unlucky, even a whole cucumber can be bitter.

If you use tea branches to build a shelf, the cucumbers that bear on the cucumber vines are more colorful and chewy than those grown on the shelves of other branches.

If you use bamboo branches to build a shelf, the cucumbers that bear on the cucumber vines are more green and crisp than the cucumbers grown on the shelves of other branches.

Xiao Qiongzhi's favorite is this kind of cucumber that grows out of a shelf with bamboo branches.

When she told Prince Qiu about the method of connection, she forgot to remind Prince Qiu to use bamboo branches to build a shelf.

Just now, when Prince Qiu went to pull out the branches of the shelf in the cucumber field, she noticed that they were all tea branches, which were actually not bad.

Considering that there are no orchards or fields nearby, and there are no mountains and forests, let alone mountains and forests with bamboo, she never thought of reminding Prince Qiu to use bamboo branches to build shelves.

Now, the puppet Zhuang Xiao Zhou actually got a bundle of bamboo branches out of nowhere, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Prince Qiu, you puppet man can actually think of finding bamboo branches to make a cucumber shelf, so smart!" Xiao Qiongzhi stared at Prince Qiu and untied the bundle of bamboo branches, while admiring from the bottom of his heart.

Prince Qiu smiled slightly and said, "I asked him to find bamboo branches to make a rack for building cucumbers." ”

"Why didn't I hear you ask him to find a bamboo branch to make a cucumber shelf?" Xiao Qiongzhi didn't believe it.

"I commanded him with my mind." Prince Qiu patiently explained.

Xiao Qiongzhi then asked curiously: "Aren't the branches used to build shelves in the original cucumber field all tea branches, so why did you think of using bamboo branches instead?"

"The bamboo branches are straight, with an elegant fragrance, I like it; The tea tree branches are often full of branches, twisted and twisted, and the smell of the whole body is simple, which is not to my liking. Prince Qiu said with a serious expression.

Xiao Qiongzhi immediately glanced at him approvingly and said, "Then you are crooked." Let me tell you, if you use tea branches to build a shelf, the cucumbers that bear on the cucumber vines are more colorful and chewy than those grown on other branches and shelves. ”

"If you use bamboo branches to build a shelf, the cucumbers that bear on the cucumber vines are more green and crisp than the cucumbers grown on the shelves of other branches."

"Oh? You mean that when the cucumber is connected to the pumpkin, it is not a yellow pumpkin that grows, but still a pumpkin?" Prince Qiu was very happy, but at the same time a little troubled, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

He remembered that Xiao Qiongzhi had told him before that grafted fruits such as plum peaches, apple plums, and rake oranges were all a little different from the original varieties, shapes and tastes.

"Yes, after the cucumber is connected to the pumpkin, it only absorbs the characteristics of the pumpkin's long growth cycle and high fruit load, and basically does not change much in terms of appearance and taste." Xiao Qiongzhi said.

"I see." Prince Qiu suddenly realized.
