With the addition of Qianyu, after a while, all the mint tea picked today was also washed. After the water is dried, it is placed on the bamboo mat and begins to be exposed. The sun has been very strong in the last two months, and it is the most suitable for sunbathing.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng asked the Ye family to help, took out the cotton mat that had been padded for winter, simply built it with a bamboo pole, and put it on it to expose to the sun.

After doing this, I saw Qianyu remembering something in a few pots of flowers, and there were words in his mouth. Seeing this, Ye Feng knew that she must have taught her the theories before thinking about herself in front of these flowers.

Children can be taught.

A few days ago, seeing that Qianyu seemed to like dealing with flowers and plants, thinking that she had been a little lazy and not interested in anything since she returned home, Ye Feng subconsciously taught her some of the most basic gardening knowledge.

How did she know that after a few days, when Ye Feng asked, she actually remembered everything.

Excited, Ye Feng took her to the backyard, pointed to those bonsai and bonsai and asked her, and the result was that she also knew the name, and remembered the habits of these flowers, whether they were shade-tolerant or yang-loving.

So, from that day on, Ye Feng began to subconsciously teach her about bonsai theory. Although she can't operate it now, she has memorized these theories. On the other hand, the girl who said Qianyan couldn't remember anything, and she had to study for two more years.

Ye Feng figured out that it turned out that Qianyan followed into the mountain mostly for fun, and Qianyu really wanted to learn how to make bonsai from him.

It seems that interest is the best teacher.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng felt that he would focus on teaching Qianyu in the future.

As for Qianyan, she just listened to it, and most of them wouldn't like this. Also, making bonsai is actually a very hard thing, not to mention the energy, but also requires a certain amount of cultural accumulation.

Qianyan can't sit still, a lively little girl.

In the evening, the sun gradually set, and Ye Feng came to the backyard with the rose trees he had dug in the forest in the morning, ready to plant these flowers and plant them next to the courtyard wall.

Originally, Ye Shi and Ye Feng had considered planting these flowers in the sun room, but Ye Feng felt that these flowers were not afraid of the cold in the first place, and they could carry them even in winter. The sun room is relatively narrow and the space is precious, so it is used to grow vegetables in winter.

In this way, there is no need to plant these roses.

What's more, these roses are thorny, and it is best to plant them next to the courtyard wall to act as protection. Those who grow tall and dense will inevitably suffer if they want to come in from here. Although the courtyard wall of Chen Jixing's house is high enough, with the increase of the family's wealth, it is difficult to ensure that someone has bad intentions.

Everyone still remembers the flowers that were bugged.

Fortunately, when Chen Jixing repaired the courtyard wall, he did not completely repair the courtyard wall next to those bluestone slabs, of course, he also had the intention of taking advantage, after all, if he went out a little, ordinary people could not see it.

Therefore, there is a gap about half a meter wide between the courtyard wall and the stone slab. Yip has been complaining that this gap is very ugly and not coordinated at all.

Now it's coming in handy.

Picking up the scissors, Ye Feng "clicked" the tops and excess leaves of these roses, and then began to plant.

Seeing that a good flower was cut like this, Qianyu asked puzzledly: "Uncle, why did you cut this flower like this before planting it?" I don't think those were cut like this before, huh? ”

In her opinion, wouldn't it be better not to cut? No matter what kind of flower it is, it takes time to grow.

Ye Feng wanted to tell her that the ability of the newly planted saplings to absorb nutrients was really limited, so he cut the top of the sapling and removed the excess leaves to retain moisture.

But how can this be explained?

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said, "This is done to make it easier for the tree to survive." If we die, won't we be working in vain? And after cutting it like this, the tree will grow thicker. ”

I have to say that Qianyu is a very perceptive child, anyway, what Ye Feng said she found a little difficult to understand, so she remembered the key point, that is, it is best to cut the top of the tree and the excess leaves before planting the tree, so that the tree will be easier to survive.

After doing this, Ye Feng estimated the distance and planted. Roses are perennial plants and produce new plants every year. In those places where the temperature is right, even the plugs can survive.

Qianyu took the scoop and began to water, as if he was doing something very meaningful.

With the shade of the courtyard wall and the trees in the back mountain, this place can be sunburned for half a day at most, and I think these flowers can survive.

After planting the flowers, Ye Feng was about to rest, and wanted to find Chen Jixing to accompany him into the mountain tomorrow, and by the way, he asked him how he felt about being a father today, but he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

When he arrived near the sun room, Ye Feng found that the knock on the door came from outside the courtyard wall next door, and it seemed that Chen Jitang had something to say.

To say that this door is usually locked, it is the most convenient passage to connect the two houses. Except for Chen Jitang, the swineherd, no one will knock on this door.

Could it be that something is wrong with the pigs?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng hurriedly went to open the door.

In modern times, like raising chickens, ducks, and pigs, you need to regularly prevent epidemics and get vaccinated. Because once the plague spreads, it is simply a disaster, with countless casualties and heavy losses.

Therefore, when building the pigsty, in addition to letting Chen Jitang regularly sprinkle lime to eliminate, Ye Feng also left enough space in each pen to facilitate Chen Jitang to clean.

And according to his requirements, Chen Jitang needs to regularly clean up the pig manure in the pen every day and rinse it with water every day. In this way, although it will not be eliminated, it can greatly reduce the chance.

He went to check it several times, and Chen Jitang did a very good job, and it can be said that except for the taste of the pig itself, the whole pigsty was clean and clean, and there was not much smell.

Chen Jitang saw the nervousness on Ye Feng's faces, and knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, the pig is fine, it's all right." "To say that these pigs were raised very well by Chen Jitang, oily and slippery, many people in the village have come to inquire and want to know what Chen Jitang has eaten for the pigs.

Ye Feng felt that this was not a secret, anyway, many people already knew about it, so he said that they caught small fish and shrimp or something, dried them and ground them into flour to make feed, and fed green fodder, which attracted everyone to follow suit for a while.

Now, the small fish and shrimp in the big lake outside Chenjia Village have decreased sharply, and it is difficult to catch them at least with a dustpan by the lake.

"Is that something?" Hearing that the pigs were good, Chen Jixing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, these pigs are no longer the original piglets, each one is half old, and they are waiting for the end of the year to be slaughtered.

Hearing this, Chen Jitang said: "That's the case. There were two trees growing next to the pigsty near the courtyard wall, and I didn't look like they were new, but like they had been growing for a long time. I looked closely at the appearance of the tree, but I had never seen it before. I didn't dare to pull it out because I didn't think you had a lot of flowers and trees planted in your house, and I wanted to tell you before I made a decision. ”

In Chen Jitang's opinion, it is best to pull out such a tree. Otherwise, when it grows up, the courtyard wall will be destroyed.

Tree? Pigsty side? Ye Feng suddenly thought of the plum seeds he and Qianyan had planted last year. After moving into a new house, he forgot about it, and he felt that the seeds would not take root and grow into trees.

"Let's go, take me to see it." Ye Feng said.

If only it were a plum tree. He mentioned to Liu last year that she would help break a few branches of the plum tree and come back, and Liu responded this year, but Ye Feng politely refused at that time, because there was no plum tree at home that could be grafted.

Not even a close relative's peach tree or anything.

Seeing Ye Feng so excited, Chen Jitang knew that he had come to the right place this time, and fortunately, he had an extra heart when he wanted to pull it out. Otherwise, it will be a big thing for others.

When Ye Feng arrived at the courtyard wall, he saw that this was not a plum tree! Although it is only the size of chopsticks, about one meter high, the plum tree is a plum tree, and it cannot be replaced by other trees.

Seeing these two plum trees growing next to the courtyard wall, he understood that it was no wonder that Chen Jitang wanted to pull them out. If this continues, sooner or later the courtyard wall will be damaged.

Anyway, it's still young, and it's just transplanted.

I thought that maybe if it wasn't for this courtyard wall, there would still be a lot of plum trees growing here, and I felt a pity in my heart, but I didn't think it through.

Carefully picking up the soil, Ye Feng saw that he didn't need a hoe at all, and pulled it out directly, and the sapling was pulled out of the ground with roots. This was originally a courtyard wall, so the tree had not yet had time to put down its roots.

Qianyan and Ye were even more excited, because they had eaten this plum last year. Now it's okay, even the tree is there. If what Ye Feng said was true, when the Liu family asked someone to get this branch back, as soon as he grafted it, then there would be plums to eat in the future.

To say that the Liu family does have this ability now, it is naturally not possible to change it before. Just because she gave birth to a son in April, she only made the Cai family happy, and held an unprecedented running water banquet for three days.

Now the status of the Liu family in the family has been greatly improved, not to mention a few branches, even if she asks the Cai family to dig a few trees for her to come back.

It's just that this tree is too small, and it has to grow up before it can be grafted.

After breakfast on the second day, Ye was still at home, and Chen Jixing took his two daughters and Ye Feng and headed towards the forest. The reason why Chen Jixing was chosen was also because Chen Jixing was bold and careful, and he was most suitable for going deep into the forest.

Speaking of which, since he started the bonsai business, Ye Feng has not been in the mountains for a long time. Although there are many bonsai that are being pruned at home, Ye Feng still feels that there are too few varieties and wants to find some new flowers and trees.

Along the way, Qianyan was still chattering, and Qianyu would also insert a few words, which made Ye Feng feel very puzzled. To say that Ye's treatment of Qianyu is excellent, coupled with the guilt in her heart, Ye's is a loving mother no matter how you look at it.

However, Qianyu and Ye are not so close, but they are more compatible with the taciturn Chen Jixing.

Maybe it's just nature.

Daughters are inherently more compatible with their fathers. It is not excluded that this child feels that Ye's is too enthusiastic, which makes her feel pressured. Of course, the biggest factor is probably the absence of several years between them.

Look at Qianyan, whether it is in front of Ye or Chen Jixing, there is no such restraint and estrangement. She can do whatever she wants, and if the adults don't agree, she starts to be coquettish.

Qianyu, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Many things are often done by Ye and Chen Jixing to encourage her to do it, but if this is something she doesn't like, it is difficult for her to do it.

To say that Chen Jixing is really extraordinary, after a while, he helped Ye Feng find a few pine trees with good shapes, and two cliff cypresses with strange shapes.

These cypresses are not as sought after as they are in modern times, so you don't need to go down to the cliffs to dig them. Ye Feng also found a few red fruit trees himself.

Speaking of which, this trip is really earned, just take these few trees home, raise them for a year or two, prune them slowly, and then they can shine.

After walking for a while, Ye Feng said, "Let's go to the tree last time to have a look." As soon as Ye Feng said it, Chen Jixing immediately understood, he was talking about the dead tree not far away, which was the place where he found Dendrobium last time.

To say that Chen Jixing's family relied on those two dendrobiums to sell a lot of silver, and now they are still multiplying in large numbers in the back mountains. According to Ye Feng's meaning, he actually wanted to keep doing it, dry it and then sell it, and sell it to other places.

A few people came to the dead tree with great interest, with the idea that maybe dendrobium could grow again. However, when they arrived, no dendrobium was found.

Ye Feng was not disappointed, after all, such good luck was really rare, and one time was enough.

However, the dead tree will not disappoint him this time.

As he walked, Qianyu suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Daddy, look, what's growing on that tree?" ”

Chen Jixing looked at it and said, "That's wood mushrooms, you can't eat them." ”

However, when Ye Feng saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it, where is the wood fungus, it is clearly Ganoderma lucidum.

It seems that this dead tree should have trace elements that other trees do not have, otherwise why did it grow dendrobium first, and now it has grown such a large Ganoderma lucidum.

This Ganoderma lucidum is yellow-brown with some intermittent yellowish-white patterns, the size of a sea bowl.

Ganoderma lucidum, also known as the spirit of the forest, although it has long been artificially planted in modern times, the value of the forest is higher. Like such a big Ganoderma lucidum, Ye Feng felt that if he took it to the city and sold it, it would be worth a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said: "Brother-in-law, that's not a wood fungus, it's Ganoderma lucidum, and it's a very valuable Chinese medicine." Quick, let's pick it up, and when it's empty, we'll take it to the city and sell it. ”

When he heard that he could exchange it for silver, Qianyu was even more excited. Speaking of which, this is the first time she has generated income since returning home. To go to the mountain, either to pick flowers and mint, or to dig some flowers and trees that can be expected in the future to go home.

But it takes time to cultivate. It's the first time that you can directly exchange money for silver like Ganoderma lucidum.

Chen Jixing turned the back basket over, buckled it upside down on the ground, and asked Ye Feng to help maintain his balance, and then he stood up, just reaching the Ganoderma lucidum. When he touched the roots, he pulled it out and took it off whole.

This Ganoderma lucidum must be the "prime of life", the plate is quite shiny, the taste is also heavy, Ye Feng quickly took a few leaves and stacked them together, and then took some moss on the dead tree to wrap it, and then put it into the back basket.

With this unexpected gain, several people decided to go to the place where they had just dug the cypress to rest. There is a cliff, and the mountain wind blows up from a distance, which is very cool.

Chen Jixing took out a few bamboo tubes, and inside were the mint water that Ye had poured into them early in the morning.

At this moment, when I drink it, the mountain breeze blows, it is simply too comfortable.

Drinking mint water, Ye Feng looked around, and suddenly, a plant aroused his great interest. I saw that the plant was very tall, and the whole tree was clinging to the big tree next to it.

The branches of this plant are thin but very slender, the branches are brown, and the leaves are round and opposite.

Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly stood up and walked towards the plant.

When I got closer, the leaves were a little shaggy. When he saw the flowers blooming in the high place, Ye Feng suddenly became happy, isn't this honeysuckle!

He's been looking for honeysuckle for a long time!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng shouted happily, "Brother-in-law, come and see, I finally found a honeysuckle." ”

He said, this honeysuckle does not have high soil requirements, and it is very easy to plant. Like the forest of Chenjia Village, there is almost everything, and it stands to reason that there should be honeysuckle.

As soon as he heard Ye Feng say that it was both gold and silver, Chen Jixing was a little excited. What the hell is it, it's so good, and it's so valuable?

When he got closer, when he saw the plant Ye Feng was talking about, he said a little inexplicably: "Huh, that's what you're talking about?" ”

"Yes, that's it. Don't look at it as inconspicuous, but this flower is very precious, and all kinds of fever can be cured. It's like a sore throat, sores and poison, it's good to eat this. We're going to dig this one up and take it home, and I'll plant it in a pot. When the time comes, a little pruning will do. ”

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Why am I lying to you! When someone gets on fire, just pick some flowers and soak them in water to drink. Even when it's not in bloom, it's okay to pick some leaves. If you have some eczema or itchy for some reason, you can cut a few vines and boil water for a bath. ”

Plants like honeysuckle, which can be both ornamental and curative, are simply treasures all over the body. And when the flower bones grow, they can be picked and dried, and they can be exchanged for silver.

Hearing this, Chen Jixing said: "Are you sure that this mandarin duck vine is really as good as you say?" In the past few years, there were a lot of these things, but it always likes to climb big trees, and people have a lot of inconvenience when walking in the forest, so they always trip over it, so they dig a lot, and gradually it becomes less. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a little pity, if he hadn't been dug up by the villagers, it would have been a lot more now. Not to mention the rest, some people want to pick their flowers and dry them and sell them at pharmacies in the city.

"Mandarin duck vine? You call this a mandarin duck vine? Ye Feng asked in surprise. At the same time, he was a little skeptical of his judgment, but when he plucked the flower and put it in his hand to look at it carefully, and smelled it, he confirmed that it was indeed honeysuckle.

Suddenly, Ye Feng saw that these blooming honeysuckles were all two at the same time, and now they were one white and one yellow, which was undoubtedly very appropriate to call them gold and silver or mandarin ducks.

It doesn't matter what it's called, it's valuable.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said: "Brother-in-law, look, these flowers are blooming in two, one white and one yellow, isn't it like gold and silver?" ”

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Chen Jixing said: "It's very understandable that you say this, and I also think it's more appropriate to call it honeysuckle than mandarin duck vines." ”

"Then let's pick the flower first, and then dig it out and take it home." Ye Feng said excitedly. As long as they are dug up, these flowers are bound to wither, so it is better to pick them now, and after drying them, they can be made into tea.

It's just that this honeysuckle is really some years old, and the branches are entangled, so you need to sort it out first.

Although it was troublesome, Ye Feng didn't feel tired at all, and Qianyu also followed Ye Feng and slowly sorted it out.

When encountering those high places, Chen Jixing also stood upside down with the basket upside down to clean up, and after a while, he saw that the entanglement part was almost cleaned, and Chen Jixing pulled down all the branches and leaves that were originally wrapped around the tree.

As for those that were too high, especially those that were wrapped around the branches under the cliff, Chen Jixing cut them off directly with a knife.

I have to say that this is really a huge honeysuckle, and the branches and leaves they have sorted out are piled up on the ground. A few people slowly squatted down, picked off all the flowers and buds according to Ye Feng's words, and put them in the back basket.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng wrapped these vines into a ball again, tied a knot, and threw them into the back basket. It is summer, and children are most likely to be bitten by mosquitoes, and they are not immune to heat and fire.

When the time comes, if necessary, it will be effective to take a bath in these rattan boiling waters.

After doing this, Ye Feng walked to the root of the honeysuckle vine the size of an egg, first took a hoe to clean up the dead leaves and soil around it, and then squatted down again, took the branch and began to gently separate the soil, and slowly saw the trend of the vine.

After doing this, Chen Jixing began to dig.

Fortunately, there is still some distance from the cliff here, otherwise they would never dare to make such a big move. The honeysuckle tree was full of age, large and well-developed roots, and many of the branches that hung down on the ground had grown white roots.

However, Chen Jixing is very experienced, he has gone up the mountain with Ye Feng many times, and helped Ye Feng dig a lot of trees.

At this moment, I heard Ye Feng say that this honeysuckle is extremely precious, so he dug very patiently, digging while combing the roots, Rao is like this, and it took almost half an hour to dig it out completely.

Then, Chen Jixing took a few leaves with great experience and prepared to wrap some of the soil here. Seeing this, Ye Feng said, "Brother-in-law, this time I don't need it." This honeysuckle is very adaptable, sun-loving, shade-tolerant, cold-tolerant, drought and moisture-resistant, and not strict with soil. Let's take it home and plant it, with the nutrient soil, it definitely grows better than here. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jixing did not continue to load soil.

It was already noon when she got home, and Ye had already made lunch, and she was afraid that her two sons would wake up and not be able to get out, so she made lunch early. Now that the two children have begun to recognize their lives, they began to howl when they couldn't see Ye's face.

And Chen Jixing also "retired" with honor, and when the two children saw him, most of them were disgusted. When you're happy, you can hug it, and when you're not happy, you cry when you get close.

This made Chen Jixing very frustrated.

Seeing that several people were all happy, and seeing that the back basket was full, Ye knew that today's harvest was not small, and he was also happy. To say that Chen Jixing is indeed more suitable for entering the mountain than her.

Thinking that a few people had missed the hour, he urged a few people to wash their hands and eat.
