Chapter 24: Planting Flowers
Walked out of the salt shop, and went to the medicine store, bought a small bag of lime and went home to prepare, and walked and stopped along the street, thinking that the jade world was still bare, and even the little bird complained, so I thought about buying some flowers and plants to plant in it, adding some greenery, and after shopping for a long time, most of them were buying vegetables and fruits, and I only saw a little woman with a little girl, about three or four years old, and a small stall, on which there were several camellia of different qualities wrapped in soil, and elegant jasmine, and a few osmanthus and two pots of daffodils, Although there are not many flowers, they are very watery, and the flowers are blooming just right, which shows that the owner takes good care of them. It's just that although this one is the only one selling flowers, I haven't seen anyone come forward to buy them. I didn't have to pick it, so I stepped forward and asked, "How do you buy this flower, eldest sister?" ”
The little woman immediately replied with a smiling face: "Camellia is three pennies each, and jasmine and osmanthus are both two pennies each." “
"Are there any other varieties besides these?" Keke asked, these kinds of flowers are extracted from essential oils, and more can be planted, and the wasteland in the Jade Realm can be planted even more. It can not only be eye-catching, but also increase the aura of the jade realm, and can also be used to extract essential oils in the future.
"There are still moons, gardenias, poppy grasses, peonies and grass at home, but the seedlings have not yet bloomed." The little woman said truthfully.
"What kind of flower is the grass?" Keke doesn't understand a little, other flowers know, and have seen, these flowers are very common in modern times, and I like these flowers and plants, and I also plant a lot of flowers at home.
"The grass is the peony flower. The girl isn't a local, is she? We all call peonies weeds. The little woman said.
When he heard that it was a peony, Keke smiled and said: "I only know that it is called peony, but I don't know that there is this name, so how can peonies and peonies be sold?" ”
"Peony and peony are more troublesome to cultivate, and they are more expensive, but because they are still small seedlings, if the girl wants it, she will give Siwen a plant, the girl doesn't know anything, come to me, as long as it doesn't rain, I set up a stall here every day."
"Eldest sister will give me a cheaper, I'll buy a few more."
"What kind of flowers are you going to buy?" As soon as she heard that the other party planned to buy a few more, the little woman asked, although only she was selling these flowers and plants in this county, but the business was not very good, and ordinary people could have a few dollars to buy these flowers and plants that could not be eaten or drunk, and the rich people did not care about these spare money, but the rich people would grow their own plants, and few came out to buy them.
"If the price is right, I will have all the flowers in your stall today, and if the eldest sister wants to come again tomorrow, she will bring me some other flowers, peonies and peonies." Not only can it be planted in the jade realm, but also in the front and back yards of the house.
The little woman listened to Keke's words, and never encountered such a good thing again, so she also said bluntly: "The girl wants more, it should be cheaper, the camellia is counted as two pennies and one plant, the others are counted as three pennies and two plants, the peony and peony are also counted as two pennies and one plant for the girl, and the other three wen and two plants, the girl thinks it is feasible?" ”
"Thank you, eldest sister, please let me pack all these, but I have to borrow this basket from the eldest sister, and I will bring it to the eldest sister tomorrow." Keke said.
"It should."
When the eldest sister brought the back basket from the side, Keke put the lime preparation in her hand into the back basket first, carried it back together, and took it without saving, "I'll put this down first." ”
"Okay, just let it go." While talking, he waited for Keke to put the cloth bag into the back basket, and after Keke put it away, he took out a piece of oil paper that had been prepared before from the side of the stall, spread it on the cloth bag that Keke was holding, and said: In this way, you will not be afraid of the soil on the seedlings sticking to your bag. As he spoke, he carefully put the flower seedlings into the back basket.
Thanks to the little woman again, after paying the money and making an appointment to come back tomorrow, she left, and when she walked back with the basket on her back, she successfully bought some snacks for the two sisters, each with a bunch of sugar gourds and a bag of fried chestnuts. Walking to the road, I took advantage of the time when no one was looking for a secret place, and my mind flashed to the jade realm, but I still didn't stay long, put down the back basket on my back, and divided more than half of the flower seedlings to stay in the jade world, and then flashed out on my back and continued to walk home.
After arriving home, Qingwan was playing in the yard with the two sisters, and when she saw Keke coming back, she stepped forward to pick up the basket that Keke was carrying on her back, "What did you buy back?" Why did I come back with a basket? ”
The two sisters, Yuhan and Yuxin, didn't run over and shouted, "Sister Keke." ”
"Well, this is a sugar gourd for you." As he spoke, he took the sugar gourd in his hand, and Yuhan took it and said politely, "Thank you, Sister Keke." Another string was given to Yu Xin.
Qingwan followed the back of Keke's back, put it on the ground and saw that it contained flower seedlings, "Or you think about it thoroughly, I also think that our yard is bright before and after, carry some flowers to smell the fragrance of flowers every day, and it is also eye-catching, I will plant it later." ”
"What a beautiful flower, Sister Qingwan, can I plant it with you?" After Yuhan added a mouthful of sugar gourd, he leaned over and said.
"I'm going to plant flowers too." Yu Xin also said.
"Okay, let's plant flowers together." Qingwan said, and said to Keke: "You go back to the house to rest, and I will plant these flowers." As he spoke, he carefully took out the flower seedlings in the back basket, and prepared to take the hoe out and plant them later.
After taking out all the plants one by one, I saw that there was something at the bottom of the back, so I took it out again and asked, "What's in the bag?"
"This one is lime, I'm useful." Keke Road.
Qian Shi also walked over, ready to move things, looked at the food in Qian Yuhan and Qian Yuxin's hands and said, "Why did you buy them something to eat again?" The family eats good food and vegetables every day, what are you doing with these expenses? "After coming here, every meal is delicious and delicious, and now the mother's face has faded from the previous thin and unpretentious face, and there is nothing bad about it, and the mood is good, the skin of the three mothers has gradually become ruddy, especially the Qian family, who looks younger than before.
"Who made us Yuhan Yuxin so well-behaved! There is a reward for being a good child. Isn't it? Yu Xin. "Asked Qian Yuxin, who was eating Zhenghuan.
What can you understand at such a young age? The immature voice replied, "Yes, my sister is good, and I am also good." Qian Yuxin is now familiar with Keke, and she is bolder.
"You're used to them!" Qian said angrily, although he said this, but with a smile on his face, he knew that Keke and Qingwan did not treat themselves as outsiders, and they lived during this time, and they were more casual.
"You're buying flour again? There's still a lot to eat at home. Qian picked up the bag of lime on the floor and prepared to take it to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, this is not flour, at this time lime, I have a use. Put it in the backyard for the time being, don't get wet. Keke explained.
After putting the things away, while it was still early, he said to Qingwan, "I'll go back to the room to rest", and then closed the bedroom door and entered the Jade Realm to take care of the flower seedlings left in the Jade Realm.
After entering the jade realm, the little bird stood next to the flower seedlings, saw Keke coming, flew to Keke with a flutter, and fell on Keke's shoulder, originally only the size of a sparrow The colorful bird flies, these days it seems to have eaten a strong auxin, it has grown up several times, and now it is about to catch up with the size of the pigeon, and the feathers on the body are becoming more and more gorgeous. The peach pits planted a few days ago have broken through the soil and grown into small seedlings, don't you think this place is desolate, I will plant some flowers in it, so that you can see the flowers in addition to the water, so that you don't have to face the barren land all day long. "Now this jade realm is actually not as desolate as before, except for the earliest planted peach kernels have grown into small saplings, even the various fruit saplings that were brought back from the peach seller are also mostly planted in this by Keke, which has shown a green picture, plus the current flower seedlings, green trees and red flowers. After Uncle Qian sent the grape seedlings and planted them in it, there were more and more plants in it.
"Thank you host, host is the best." The hairy head rubbed against Keke's cheek, a little ticklish, but more of the warmth that came from the face.
Raised his hand and stroked the furry head leaning against his face, "Say, is there anything to pay attention to when planting these flowers." ”
"These flowers are very easy to feed, and after transplanting them into the soil, they are watered with some Lingxi water to ensure that they continue to bloom."
"Okay, then I'll dig first." As he spoke, he walked over to the place where the tools were placed and got the hoe.
After taking the hoe, he walked to the side of the open space and dug up, digging skillfully in the soil, remembering the cautious appearance when he first held the hoe, digging deep and shallow, he was afraid that a person who accidentally injured himself like peeling potatoes before, this is more scary than a knife, a hoe down, he must become a lame, the hand holding the hoe is a little nervous and sweating, how can there be this skilled posture now.
Dig all the pits, and then put the flower seedlings into the pit, cover the soil, carry water to water it, feel that my physical strength is getting better and better, planting all the flowers do not feel tired at all, even digging the land is no problem, it seems that he still has the potential to be a farmer, and rested in the jade world, until the sun sets, he opened the door and walked out, and when he came out, Qingwan also planted the flowers in the yard.
Seeing Keke come out, Qingwan asked, "Where did you buy the flowers?" Let's go buy some tomorrow, some less, just plant in the front yard, buy some and come back, and plant some in the backyard. ”
"Well, I agreed with the eldest sister who sells flowers, and asked her to bring some different varieties of flowers tomorrow."
At this time, Qian came over with a plate of vegetables, "If you want me to say, it is okay to plant some flowers and plants in the front yard, and there may be a lot of vegetables planted in the vacant land in the backyard, there was no time to take care of it some time ago, and now it is empty again, I also want to turn it out and plant some vegetables, make a vegetable garden, and it is convenient to eat vegetables in the future, and it is also convenient to pick a vegetable at the door with a foot." ”
