Chapter 77: First Taste of Moss
"Yunxi, what are you chiseling for?" Fu Junzhuo squatted on the ground and asked puzzled.
"Sister Xi, are you digging this to plant flowers?" Zhou Lei was puzzled: "Okay?" ”
Yun Kai said directly: "My second sister is already stunned. ”
"It's chiseled, oops, my old waist hurts to death!" After several days of chiseling, Yunxi finally succeeded in owning three blue brick flower pots.
Yun Kai said: "Second sister, mother, the child has no waist." ”
Ancient medicine was not developed, and there was a lack of medicine, children were prone to early death, "waist" and "young", and in many places, children were not waisted, in fact, they wanted to avoid early death of children. Yunxi couldn't refute this with him, "I know, I don't have a waist." ”
"Hmm." Yun Kai nodded matter-of-factly, "Second sister, what are you doing with this brick?" ”
"Plant something, Yunkai, what about the big brother? Why didn't I come with you? In fact, what Yunxi wanted to ask was, why didn't Yunxiao accompany his classmates, but he wasn't embarrassed to ask directly.
"Big brother wants to read books." Yun Kai complained, "Don't come with us." ”
"Oh, then come with me, let's dig up the baby." Yunxi found a bamboo basket and put the special shovel inside, "Let's go!" ”
Lead the curious trio straight to the corner of the back garden.
After a few days of observation, Yunxi found that there were a lot of wilted and yellowed mosses in the corner of the south wall, and judging from the dried rice-like moss flowers, it should be a common gourd moss in the north. Common is common, this cold day, it is not easy to find other types.
"Second sister, this is the baby you want?" Yun Kan couldn't believe his eyes, "What's so rare about this moss, cut, I thought it was good." ”
"It's Yunxi, don't plant this, I'll get you some good flowers when I go back." Fu Junzhuo looked wealthy, "When I send out the New Year's money for the New Year, I will take half of it to buy you flowers." ”
Yunxi smiled: "How much money can you have, don't just have one or two, right?" ”
"How is it possible, I received a hundred taels of silver last year?" Fu Junzhuo said proudly.
"Although I've listened to it countless times, I still feel like a hundred taels is a lot." Yun Kai looked envious, "If only I could have so many this year." ”
Yunxi thought about his savings of only two or three taels of silver, and suddenly felt that one hundred taels was really a lot, "Yunkai, how much money can we get for the New Year?" ”
Yun Kai counted with his fingers, "One tael for my father, one tael for my mother, two taels for my grandfather, and two taels for my aunt, a total of six taels." ”
Six taels and one hundred taels, this gap is really a bit big.
Yunxi turned to Zhou Lei, "Brother Zhou Lei, how much money did you get last year?" ”
"This," Zhou Lei smiled embarrassedly, "Last year, I got five hundred taels of silver for the New Year." ”
Uh, is this the rhythm of people dying more than people?
Zhou Lei looked at the two Yunxi sisters and brothers who looked depressed, and kindly hid the fact that in addition to money, they also got a lot of gifts. I couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, I'll buy beautiful flowers for Sister Xi to plant after the New Year, okay?" ”
The words are good words, but why is this coaxing child's tone so annoying? Yunxi forcibly suppressed the idea of beating someone, and squeezed out a smile, "Then I'll thank you first." However, I want the best flowers, not the average flower. ”
Dizzy, don't be in vain, not only do you want it, but you also have to have a good and expensive one to eliminate the injustice in my heart!
After so much, Yunxi still wouldn't give up digging moss, so he shoveled a few pieces of dry moss and gently stacked them in a basket. Moss carries more than a centimeter of raw soil, generally half a centimeter is about the same, but to be on the safe side, let's have more.
Zhou Lei said: "That's it?" ”
Yunxi smiled: "Dig some more garden soil and dig some sand." ”
Fortunately, I didn't use much, so I dug a little in the sand pool, and there was even more garden soil, so it was quickly done, and the group went back to the house together.
First spread the sand to prevent stagnant water, then fill the garden soil, pile it into a mound shape, spread the withered moss evenly, and then slowly sprinkle the water through, OK, and you're done.
"Okay, wait, it's warm in this room, and it will look good in a few days."
Although they are not optimistic, Yunkai and Fu Junzhuo are still very considerate and have nothing to say. Zhou Lei plans to go home and try it too, moss is shade-tolerant and moisture-loving, very suitable for indoor farming, and moss can be seen everywhere, it should not be difficult to raise.
"It's a pity that there is no water stone, otherwise it would be elegant to make a landscape and put it in the house." Yunxi said with a little regret, whether it is the moss tested today or the stone lotus leaf dug last time, they are the most suitable materials for water features, but unfortunately she has not found the water stone yet.
"What is Sheung Shui Stone?" Zhou Lei asked puzzledly, "Is that what a stone that can absorb water by itself?" ”
Yunxi nodded, "That's what it means." When placed in a shallow basin, the stone will automatically absorb water. ”
"It's really the world's big, it's no wonder, there is such a stone," Zhou Lei said, "Yunxi, you've seen it." ”
"No, I read it in the book." Yunxi said in his heart: I don't know how much I saw in my last life, but can I tell you this?
Zhou Lei immediately said: "Can you lend me a look at that book?"
Uh, Xueba, I'll just take one, where can I find it for you?
"I forgot that book, I'll look for it and show it to you." Yunxi said perfunctorily, it was a mistake, it seems that she has been out once since Ye Yuanjiao was literate, it was that unlucky trip to the temple fair, how can it be that you read books, won't you listen to people, as for who to listen to, just pass by.
"Oh, that's fine." Zhou Lei was a little regretful, "If you don't elaborate it carefully, I'll look for it." ”
Yunxi thought for a while and said, "The color is gray and white, gray brown, yellow and other colors, honeycomb, the upper holes are different, brittle, easy to chisel and easy to carve." It is watery, often damp, and has a lot of moss. ”
Zhou Lei nodded, "Okay, I wrote it down, go back and look for someone." ”
"Yunxi, I also remember," Fu Junzhuo said, "I'll help you find it too." Let my dad and grandpa help, I'm sure I'll be able to find it. ”
"So I'll thank you first." Yunxi got up and blessed the two of them, and now she has learned the ancient etiquette. "When we find it, let's make bonsai and play."
Someone helped to find it, Yunxi was naturally willing, although the Shangshui stone was not cheap in the previous life, it was definitely not a rare item, it should be widely distributed, but she is still a little bit now, it is not convenient to find, and when she grows up, it will be even more hehe, don't run around when you are going to get married.
Yun Kai said: "Aren't bonsai all made of stumps and roots? Can you use stones? ”
"That's a stump bonsai," Yunxi explained, "Mine is a bonsai made in the shape of a landscape, isn't the Shangshui stone easy to carve?" I thought that we should carve it into the shape of a mountain and plant some green flowers and plants, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”
Yunkai Fu Junzhuo was still thinking about what kind of bonsai like a rockery, Zhou Lei's eyes lit up, "Yunxi, if you can really make it like that, you will be amazing." ”
"Huh." Yunxi smiled and said, "Whether it's powerful or not, it's up to you, no matter how beautiful you can't find it, it's blind." ”
In fact, bonsai has been around for a long time, but most of the popular bonsai today are tree and stone bonsai and flower bonsai. And the landscape bonsai is very rare, most of them are used for landscaping in the garden, and the development of stone has not yet flourished, otherwise, the stone of the mountain behind Yunxi's house is afraid that it has already been emptied, and the snow wave stone is used for courtyard landscaping, which is very brilliant, but the world has not paid attention to it.
