"Are you itching, when are you still tossing!" Yun Jin quietly approached Yun Xi and scolded him, and pinched Yun Xi's arm.

The clothes are thick in winter, but it doesn't hurt, but Yunxi feels wronged, she just said casually, how did she know that Mr. Zhou would be so excited? It is said that the grafting technology has been recorded in the Warring States Period, and it has long been recorded in Jia Xian's "Qi Min Yao Shu" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and after such a long period of development of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the Sui and Tang dynasties, how should it be popularized! Because of this Yunxi, she boldly said it, who knew that it was completely different from what she thought, and the grafting technique was only known by its name in Zhou Han's words, and it was rare.

But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, according to the concept of the ancients, you must not pass on this money-making technology to outsiders, how many crafts are passed on to men and women, and daughters-in-law are not passed on to women, and it is not surprising that it is not promoted.

"However, what kind of good flowers have you cultivated, and the gentleman who attracted him will come over on a snowy day." Yun Jin asked quietly again.

"I'll see for myself in a while, you'll definitely know you." Yunxi said with a smile. Sell a small pass, who let Yun Jin pinch her, just wait for her to take revenge.

When she arrived at the back garden, Yunxi found the peony that she had grafted, the mother was a more than 10-year-old oolong sheng, the variety has strong growth, high flowering rate, and many sprouting tillers, so it was targeted by Yunxi. Originally, she wanted to use the Luoyang red plant on its side, Luoyang red was named after the story of Wu Zetian's depreciation of peony, also known as scorched peony, purple Erqiao, is the representative variety of peony in the Central Plains, Yunxi once saw the peony flower show, "Oolong Zhusheng" and "Luoyang Hong" have become a big road goods, peony gardens are used as fences, are planted in the periphery, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, but the Song Dynasty is still their favored era, so they were resolutely stopped by Yuanyuan, that is, the oolong is often deformed flowers are not liked by Yuanyuan, reluctantly agreed to let Yunxi take it for experiments, otherwise there would be trouble.

With the oolong holding sheng as the mother, it was grafted in early August with the square bud grafting method, and she was not sure if it would be successful at that time, so it was very low-key, except for Yuanyuan, no one told her, and Li Sijie also knew it later. It's just that she lived later, and Yunxi didn't let her talk about it, thinking about a surprise in the spring.

First, select varieties of various colors with beautiful flower shape and consistent flowering period, and then select full and full side buds on the current year's branches that grow vigorously and are free of diseases and pests within the range of these varieties, which is conducive to the complete peeling of the cambium layer at the upper and lower ends of the side buds. However, there is no need to worry about choosing this variety, and the Ye family has a total of six varieties, namely "Moon Palace Flower", "Licorice Yellow", "Luoyang Red", "Pink Slave Fragrance" and "Royal Clothes Red", and then the oolong of the mother is sheng, so there is nothing to choose from, except for the mother of this product, the rest are connected.

Then there is budding, this is the key link, at 1cm above and below the side buds, cut a knife with a grafting knife, deep into the xylem, and cut off the cambium layer 0.2cm on the inside of the upper and lower transverse cutting knives, and then make a longitudinal cut on the left and right sides of the bud, also deep into the xylem, and then pick up the bud pieces along the longitudinal cutter line, in order to prevent the bud from losing water, the bud should be held in the mouth.

Originally, Yunxi used to read the information that said that she could put it in a ziplock bag, but now she asked her to go there to find a ziplock bag, so she had no choice but to hold it in her mouth and moisturize it artificially.

Next, the rootstock is processed, and the scale buds that are consistent with the size of the bud are selected as the grafting points on the current year's branches of the rootstock. Cut horizontally at 0.5cm at the upper and lower ends, longitudinally draw left and right, remove the bud piece to retain the bud primordium, and then use the bud shovel to pick up the scale bud on the rootstock, shovel the cortex up and down, the distance is slightly greater than the length of the bud, and then quickly wear the concave hole of the bud and the protruding point of the rootstock budding point, and then tie it tightly with a rope, and finally use thin mud to wipe the incision, even if it is completed.

The process looks complicated, and the grafting process is even more complicated, and every link Yunxi spoils one or two bud points, which makes Yuanyuan's heart distressed. But the result is not bad, after twenty decades of fear, he actually succeeded ninety percent, picked up ten, and only one did not succeed, which made Yunxi is heart full of joy and surprise, feeling that he was really talented and wonderful, and he was born to eat this bowl of rice.

"Look, I picked up ten buds, and I survived nine, just this, this ,......" Yunxi pointed out the places where she had grafted to Mr. Zhou one by one, to be honest, this kind of grafting method is really not easy to see if you don't compare it with the normal bud point. But fortunately, Mr. Zhou did not become short-sighted because of reading too much, and he actually saw it under the flickering light conditions of torches and gas dead wind lamps.

"What about the bad one?"

"This." This is more obvious, and the traces of surgery can be easily seen.

"It's a different color?" Mr. Zhou confirmed.

Yunxi smiled: "Of course, if it is the same flower color, why bother with this effort, my family has a total of six varieties, and now they are all on this plant." Look here, here, it's all tormented by me. ”

"I think everyone else is grafted with branches, it seems that you are not!" Mr. Zhou lost the excitement at the beginning, and said very calmly: "I think it's a bit early to say success now, let's see if it can bloom next year." It's okay to look at it now, but there's still a winter to survive, so let's watch! ”

Yunxi glared, and complained in his heart: How can you still die after four months? What's more, she has been taking care of her for four months, and she will definitely be able to bloom next year. And isn't budding grafting more advanced than grafting? Scion saving, high work efficiency, the most suitable for large-scale production. But forget it, there's no need to talk to this ignorant old man, just wait for the facts to prove everything!

"Is there any other way than this?" On the way back, Zhou Han asked.

"Yes, this is the hardest one, isn't it? Root grafting is something that can be learned by everyone. Yunxi said without hesitation that the science course in junior high school still had this technology practice, and the chrysanthemums she grafted with Artemisia annua were still blooming very well.

"You just blow it!" Zhou Han said excitedly, "I don't believe it at all. ”

Yunxi saw through his little trick at a glance, but she was a good child, and shouted very obediently: "It's not a blind blow, that is, the peony is delicate, and I have little experience, so I just took one to destroy, if it's a chrysanthemum and a moon season, I will practice if I'm fine, and I can live one by one." If you don't believe me, I'll pick you up next year with a chrysanthemum 'Ten Kinds of Brocade'. ”

Thinking about regretting her death, why didn't she think of this earlier, if she had thought about it earlier, wouldn't she have been able to make a lot of money again? It is not difficult to graft chrysanthemums, and hard-working and capable people like Yuanyuan and Li Sijie will definitely be able to learn! This year is too late anyway, and next year we must not forget it.

Zhou Han's treacherous plan succeeded, and he smiled quietly: "Okay! In the spring of tomorrow, I will send someone to the capital to purchase more varieties and see what you can bring for me. ”

This remark hit the nail on the head, and Yunxi hurriedly continued: "By the way, you can also bring me some seedlings, let me expand the scale, sir, don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes!" ”

The gentleman twisted his beard and smiled: "Yes! ”
