After sending Fu Junzhuo away, Yunxi suddenly didn't want to go back to the house again, so let's go to the kitchen to watch Aunt Zhang cook, she used chili peppers to cook for the first time, staring at some insurance.

When I went back, Aunt Zhang finished reading the recipe and was taking a dried chili pepper and stuffing it into her mouth!

Yunxi shouted, "Auntie, you can't eat it directly!" ”

But in the end, it was still a step too late, and like Lin Dongyang, Aunt Zhang was also grinning with spicy teeth, and tears flowed profusely.

Yunxi hurriedly ran over and scooped a scoop of cold water for her, "Hurry up and drink water, you can feel better." ”

Aunt Zhang drank a scoop of cold water to get a little better, and then she scooped another scoop and drank it in small sips. "Yunxi, you're going to kill someone, you can't eat it directly, you should have said it earlier!"

Yunxi smiled awkwardly, "Didn't you forget, I hurried back as soon as I remembered this, and I didn't want to be a step too late." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "It's okay, I haven't eaten it before, I just want to taste the taste, and then decide how much to grow in a dish, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, but it is much stronger than our dogwood, and there is no sour taste, the stir-fry must be delicious." Yunxi, go back and wait to eat, don't stay here if it's smoky. ”

Seeing Aunt Zhang's confident appearance, Yunxi didn't refuse, and went back by herself. Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are really good, although it is the first time to do it, but the taste is really good. And in a few days, I studied all the dishes, and the two gentlemen who ate were very satisfied, although they were still habitually picky, but they didn't say that they would ask the master to teach them.

The class was on the right track, Ye Yuan also freed up his hands to prepare to build a house, there were few houses to build in the summer, he bought the materials in a few days, and the place was ready-made, next to the Lin family, and there was a large and narrow wasteland, all of which were too many stones to cultivate, which was just used to build a house.

Yunxi, in addition to learning from her husband, tossed her flowers and plants, and the seedlings she took cuttings for the second time were also about to be transplanted. But that's not the most important thing, the important thing is that she is going to start giving chrysanthemums a short day to flower. Now that the leap month is almost over, she estimates that the solar calendar is almost late July, and if you want to see the flowers around the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, around "Eleven", you have to start shading now, otherwise after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be difficult to sell at a high price.

She asked Lin Dongyang to help and erected a lot of stakes in the chrysanthemum field of the first cuttings to support the shading materials. In order to achieve the best shading effect, Yunxi bought two black coarse cloths and two white coarse cloths, blocking the light inside the black cover, and reflecting the light outside the white cover to cool down, which cost a few taels of silver, which made Lin talk for several days.

The shading began in the middle of the afternoon and was lifted in the morning, 13 hours a day, an hour more than what she had seen online. She thinks so, isn't it said on the Internet that too short time will cause chrysanthemum buds to not be able to differentiate and fail to deal with the phenomenon, then she will simply have an extra hour, anyway, the soil in her garden is fertile, the plants are strong enough, and the sunlight is also very sufficient, and she is not afraid of insufficient photosynthesis, resulting in thin plants, small flowers, and light flower color. So it's better to spend more shading time to make sure that the flower buds are differentiated first.

Shading must be done continuously, and if there is a break, the treatment will fail. Especially the first 14 days are particularly important, so Yunxi solemnly explained this work to his uncle Lin Dongyang, anyway, he didn't have anything to do, just to work for her. Yuan Yuan and her are small and have little strength, so they should be assistants and supervisors.

In the evening of this day, they were busy pulling the cloth to shade the light, and Zhou Han came over with a da. "What are you doing here?"

Yunxi didn't stop the words in his hand, only slightly bent his knees and saluted, "Hello sir, we are here to cover the chrysanthemums so that they can bloom early." ”

"Oh, so it blooms early?" Zhou Han was surprised, "What is the reason for this?" Where did you learn it? ”

"I've heard that peonies can bloom early by heating up, but I really haven't heard that shading can bloom early? Besides, how can chrysanthemums grow when the light covers them? ”

Yunxi thought about it, and it was hard to say that this method was her own idea, and it was not easy to say that she read it in a book, because she had only been literate for a few days, and she had never been out of the house a few times, and she had seen rare and lonely ancient books there?

There was no way, Yunxi had no choice but to push the method down on his grandfather, who was gone. "It's what my grandfather heard, and I don't know if it's true or not, and I haven't tried it before. My dad saw that I loved to grow flowers, so he told me, and then I thought I would just try it, if it was true, I would be able to see chrysanthemums during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Then you can try it and see if it can bloom when the time comes." Zhou Han smiled, "If shading can make it bloom early, then can it make it bloom later?" Is there any other flower that can also be used in this way? ”

"Theoretically, the brightening should allow the chrysanthemums to delay flowering. But I don't know if other flowers can be used. Yunxi pretended to hesitate. In my heart, I can't help but give a thumbs up to the old gentleman, people's thinking is divergent, such a flexible brain, you have to be a leader in any industry!

Yuan Yuan and Lin Dongyang have been working with her for many days, and they have never thought so far. Finally, I asked why do you want to shade the light? Why do you want to cover it for so long? Originally, Yunxi thought that they were manufacturable materials, but now that I think about it, it is the life of keeping the work!

Zhou Han watched Yunxi and them work with great interest, "If you can really advance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn't it be the same fragrance of chrysanthemum?" It's fun! ”

"It's not only fun, but it can also sell for more money!" After a few days of contact with Mr., Yuanyuan didn't feel that Mr. was terrible, and he interjected.

"Oh, this flower is going to be sold?" Zhou Han was surprised for a moment, and nodded again, "That's right, you are a farmer, so naturally you want to sell it out." ”

Yuan Yuan smiled: "In the past, we didn't sell it, but this year, my little lady and sister ......"

"Yuanyuan!" When Yunxi heard that this girl was going to talk about betting, she hurriedly shouted.

However, it was still a step too late, and Zhou Han's curiosity had been hooked, "What's wrong with my sister?" Want to sell money to buy new clothes? New jewelry? Or is it something else? ”

Why does this sound so wrong, clothes and jewelry are loved by a woman, but there are not many people who sell chrysanthemums for money to buy clothes and jewelry, especially in their people who are not short of food and clothing, how do they feel like they are very vain and superficial? But the quarrel and bet between the two sisters does not seem to be much better than the love of vanity? Yunxi furrowed his brows, not knowing how to answer.

In the end, it was Yuanyuan, seeing that she was hesitant, he directly helped her decide. "It's not that kind of gentleman, it's the eldest lady of our family who thinks that the little lady is not doing her job every day, and then the little lady said that planting flowers can not only see but also make money, and then the two made a bet."

"Oh! What bet was made, let's hear it. Zhou Han's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked like a curious baby.

Yunxi saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to tell the bet again.

Zhou Han swept his eyes and pointed out sharply, "With this chrysanthemum, five hundred taels, it is difficult!" ”

"yes, but you can't throw in the towel!" Yunxi said, "After admitting defeat, there is no need to toss!" ”
