Chapter 357: Fruit Grafting
"No problem." Hearing this, Hongxiang was also a little excited, and took the book and studied it seriously.
Taking advantage of the free time, Shen Ruoxiao went to the medicine field and orchard to get busy.
The lush medicinal fields exude a medicinal fragrance, mixed with the fruity aroma of the fruits in the orchard next to it, which has a unique charm.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled like a crescent.
When I opened my eyes again, a few huge pink peaches hung on the branches of the tree and swayed in the wind, and I touched the plum tree next to me a few times.
Suddenly, Shen Ruoxiao's eyes lit up, and an idea flashed in his mind.
Why didn't she graft peach and plum trees and plant some peach and plum trees?
It was too late, and the idea sprouted in her mind, and she ran to the library with the hem of her skirt.
Not far away, Hongxiang, who was still studying the sword, raised his eyes and saw Shen Ruoxiao, who was on fire, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Master, what are you doing in the Library Pavilion?"
Hearing this, when Shen Ruoxiao was running, she looked back and smiled, her hair wrapped around her side face, and she was overwhelmed.
"I'm going to find out how to make a grafting book."
After a while, she found several related data, including tree grafting and herbaceous plant grafting.
Finding that these grafting operations were not very difficult, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but increase his interest.
When Shen Ruoxiao walked out with a pile of books, Hongxiang blocked her way very comfortably with a piece of grass in her mouth.
"Master, why do you want to graft? Isn't there enough fruit to eat now? ”
Shen Ruoxiao glanced at Hongxiang, picked up the book and knocked it on his head.
"Breed new varieties, haven't you gotten tired of these existing fruits?"
As far as she knew, these grafted fruits were all tribute treasures, and the common people could not eat them at all.
If it can be widely circulated, she will not be able to make a lot of money.
If in the future, if a scale is formed, she can also make a brand, and she will definitely become famous at that time.
Seeing that Shen Ruoxiao was looking forward to the future of Shen Ruoxiao, Hongxiang swallowed her saliva and stretched out her hand to shake it twice in front of Shen Ruoxiao.
"Master, it's really hard for you to satisfy me and the blue shirts."
It seems that the owner still feels most sorry for him and the blue shirt.
Hongxiang secretly rejoiced, but it attracted Shen Ruoxiao's disdain for a while.
"You're less stinky and beautiful, I'm not here for you."
“?” Hongxiang was stunned for a moment, full of puzzlement.
Shen Ruoxiao smiled lightly, pushed away the red incense that was in the way, and walked towards the orchard, saying as he walked: "These new products are tribute fruits, what will happen if I mass-produce them and sell them to ordinary people?" ”
Hearing this, Hongxiang reacted suddenly, spit out the dog's tail grass in her mouth, and followed like a dog's leg.
"Master, you are so talented, you actually saw this huge business opportunity!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao's pace slowed down, his face was arrogant, and his eyebrows were filled with infinite expectations for the future fruit market.
"That's nature, and don't look at who your master is!"
Hongxiang, who was following behind, hurriedly beckoned to the blue shirt not far away.
"Blue shirt, after you finish mining, hurry over and help the master graft the fruit."
Hearing this, the blue shirt transported the just-mined stone ore into the forging furnace, wiped his hands and hurried over.
"What grafted fruit?"
At this time, Hongxiang pulled the blue shirt and hid aside to whisper.
"The master wants to graft fruits and cultivate new varieties, so that we will definitely make a lot of money, and then we will let the master buy more treasures for our spiritual cultivation, I believe that soon we will be able to get out of the space and play around like Dabai!"
"Out of space?" As soon as the blue shirt was excited, his voice involuntarily rose several degrees.
Hongxiang was shocked, and hurriedly covered the mouth of the blue shirt and made a silent gesture.
"Don't make such a fuss, just do what the master tells you to do, don't mess with her, you know?"
The blue shirt nodded knowingly, "But ......"
"Don't be," Hongxiang stretched out her hand and pushed on the chest of the blue shirt, "Do you still want to go out of the space to find Dabai, do you want to see Dabai abducted by others before you are willing?" ”
Hearing this, the blue shirt immediately became nervous, and his handsome face was very firm.
"Of course I want to make space, of course I don't want to be abducted by others!"
"Then shut up and do your job!"
After speaking, Hongxiang dragged the blue shirt and walked in the direction of Shen Ruoxiao.
After walking in, the two of them dangled flatteringly in front of Shen Ruoxiao's eyes.
"Master, is there anything we can help with?"
The corners of Shen Ruoxiao's mouth were half-hooked, and he raised his finger and pointed to the fruitful fruit trees not far away.
"If you really want to help, help me pick all the fruits!"
Hearing this, Hongxiang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she looked at Shen Ruoxiao's fingers, her face full of disbelief.
"Picked them all?"
There are a few acres of fruit trees here, and they will die of exhaustion if they are all picked!
Seeing Hongxiang's bitter face, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Oops...... If you can't do it, don't be reckless! ”
As soon as the words fell, Hongxiang gritted her teeth, straightened her waist, and said angrily: "What can't be done, you can watch from the sidelines, and we will help you get it done in minutes." ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao snickered, she deliberately pursed her mouth and looked at Hongxiang with a suspicious expression.
"Okay, okay?"
Hongxiang tilted his chin lightly, looking slighted, and patted his chest.
"Look at us!" schoolgirl
As he spoke, he reached out majestically and grabbed the shoulder of the blue shirt and strode towards the orchard.
These two guys are really innocent, and a few casual words provoke them to do things obediently.
After all, it is still not deeply involved in the world!
Shen Ruoxiao smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking like he was watching a good show, half-leaning on a warm stone outside the orchard and looking at the grafting book in his hand.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Ruoxiao's eyelids were very heavy when he read the book, and he fell asleep.
When I woke up again, there were baskets and baskets of fruit in front of me.
Each one is full and bright, revealing the allure of maturity.
Shen Ruoxiao rubbed his eyes and looked at the panting red incense and blue shirt on the side in surprise.
"Are you so fast?"
"When...... Of course, Huhu ...... "Hongxiang panted and didn't win, and there was a smug look between his eyebrows."
The blue shirt leaned against the warm stone, stretched out his hand to fan the cool breeze around his neck, and looked confused.
"Master, what are you going to do with these fruits?"
Shen Ruoxiao put down the book in his hand, walked to the fruit basket, picked a peach as red as blood, and checked it in the palm of his hand.
"Some of it is used to make desserts, and the other part is used to sell it as dried fruits!"
"Wow...... Sounds delicious! Hongxiang couldn't help but lick her dry mouth with a look of anticipation.
Seeing this, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, it's done when the time comes, I'll bring you some to taste."
"Thank you, host!" Hongxiang and blue-shirted said in unison.
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Don't thank you too early, I'll talk about it when it's done." ”
After speaking, Shen Ruoxiao threw the grafting book in his hand to Hongxiang, "You guys study it carefully, and when I settle down with these, let's study them together." ”
With that, she transported all the fruits out of the space and filled her room.
Shen Ruoxiao stared at the room full of fruits with some distress.
How is she going to get so much to the back kitchen?
She walked around the room with her waist crossed, and suddenly heard the sound of practicing in the backyard, and she quickly reached out and opened a window.
I saw Changhong and Ah Yun practicing kung fu hard and learning from each other.
Shen Ruoxiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly leaned in front of the window and waved loudly at Changhong and Ah Yun.
"Changhong, Ah Yun, come here!"
Hearing the sound, Changhong and Ah Yun immediately stopped and hurriedly came to Shen Ruoxiao's door.
"Master, is there something wrong?"
Shen Ruoxiao opened the door wide, and then pointed to the fruit in the room and said, "You can help me transport the fruit to the back kitchen!" ”
"Okay, master"
Changhong and A Yun have exercised a lot during this time, and one of them carried two baskets of fruits and walked towards the back kitchen.
After a while, a room full of fruit was transported to the back kitchen.
For a while, the plump and huge fruit soon attracted a group of cooks and grandmothers to watch.
"Such a big fruit, it's really rare!"
"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such a big and fresh fruit!"
Everyone was amazed, and then Mama Liu from the kitchen walked out, and after giving Shen Ruoxiao a salute, she asked curiously, "Princess, what are you ......?"
"Oh...... I want to make some dried fruits and sell them, I don't know what good way Mama Liu has? ”
Hearing this, Mama Liu shook her head a little uncertainly.
At this time, Liu Tingxi happened to have some discomfort in his throat, and came to the back kitchen to get some pears, just when he heard that Shen Ruoxiao was going to do something to dry fruit.
"Princess, do you want to make dried fruit?"
Hearing the sound, Shen Ruoxiao turned his eyes and stepped forward with a slight smile to hold Liu Tingxi's wrist.
"Yes, Sister Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Tingxi covered his mouth and coughed dryly, with an uncomfortable look between his eyebrows.
"The weather has been dry these days, and some of them are on fire, so I thought about coming to the back kitchen to get some Sydney water to boil."
"Sydney! I've got a lot of them! As he spoke, Shen Ruoxiao took several large and round pears from the fruit basket and stuffed them into Liu Tingxi's palm.
Liu Tingxi smiled lightly, and glanced at the fruit behind Shen Ruoxiao.
"If you don't mind, princess, I can help make dried fruits, I have nothing to do to study before."
"Really?" Shen Ruoxiao was overjoyed, and then welcomed Liu Tingxi aside and chatted.
After a while, they figured out the process of making dried fruits, and the two rolled up their sleeves and started work.
The cooks on the side also got involved, some helping to clean the fruit and some peeling it.
Shen Ruoxiao and Liu Tingxi placed the processed fruits in different categories.
Then she picked a number of peaches and apricots, put them in a pot, and boiled them over high heat.
Over time, the soft peaches and apricots cooked in the pot give off a strong pectin aroma.
Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but grin and wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, "Sister Liu, is it okay to add some honey?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Tingxi put down the things in his hand, hurriedly came over, and picked up a spoonful of pectin with a spoon.
Pectin is transparent, viscous and lubricated, crystal clear.
"Almost, add some sugar and green plum powder, which will taste sweet and sour."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao hurriedly did so.
After a slow simmer over low heat, about a stick of incense, a large pot full of peach and apricot jam came out of the pot.
