Chapter 128: Ancient Scientific Experiments
However, this is just a little bit of her idea. First, I don't know if there is a market for the flower and tree business in Lishui County; Second, you have to look around for some flowers and trees to make cuttings or sow seeds. Otherwise, her idea would have been a pipe dream.
Although it is winter, the plants are all loading trees, and there are not many flowers, but Du Jinning is doing this business, and she recognized at a glance that there are many flowers and trees in this garden, such as climbing plants such as Lingxiao, Luoshi vine, honeysuckle, hibiscus, periwinkle, yueji and other flowers, gladiolus, flowering ginger, kidney fern and other foliage plants. She was overjoyed in her heart, thinking about how to ask Old Man Yuan for some branches or seeds.
Yuan Xiuzhu led everyone to walk through half of the garden, and finally found a place that he felt was satisfactory, pointed to a vacant lot and said to Du Jinning: "Xiao Ning, do you think this place is suitable?" β
"Wait a minute." Du Jinning pointed to the moon flowers that were still blooming in winter not far away, and asked, "Can I pick a few flowers for use?" β
"Naturally." Yuan Xiuzhu nodded.
That month and season were very prosperous, even if he didn't pick it, he would be defeated in a few days, and he was not distressed. He was interested in Du Jinning's intention to pick the seasonal flowers of this month.
Du Jinning first said to a small servant who followed them: "Take a grinding bowl, and four bowls, some vinegar and alkali for pastry." β
The little guy glanced at Yuan Xiuzhu, and when he saw him nodding, he agreed and left quickly.
Du Jinning went to pick more than a dozen moon flowers.
Qi Bokun, who was looking around, was also curious, and asked Du Jinning: "Du boy, ask you to choose a place to plant trees, what are you doing with these things?" Aren't you hungry and want vinegar to soak the moon flowers for us to eat? β
Yuan Xiuzhu was amused by these words and laughed "haha".
Guan Lehe saw that his little disciple had just said the truth, so he had already dispelled the idea of interfering with her, and just watched her toss. Hearing Qi Bokun's words, he couldn't help but smile.
Du Jinning sold it, nodded and said, "Exactly, Grandpa Qi, do you want to taste it?" β
The playful expression on Qi Bokun's face froze, and he rolled his eyes sharply: "It's strange to believe you." β
"Hahaha......" Yuan Xiuzhu saw that his old friend was choked, laughed more and more, patted Du Jinning's shoulder and said, "Boy, I like you more and more." β
Du Jinning also secretly rolled his eyes.
Whoever can win Qi Bokun, Yuan Xiuzhu likes whom, she understands.
After a while, the little guy came over panting with something.
Du Jinning plucked the petals of the moon flower, put them in a bowl, crushed the juice out of them, and poured them into four bowls, and then put some vinegar and alkali on each of the two bowls.
Several other people gathered around curiously to watch, and even the little guy was no exception.
"Ah, you see, it's changed." Qi Bokun pointed to the two bowls and shouted like a child.
Yuan Xiuzhu didn't care about arguing with him, his eyes were glued to the two bowls.
I saw that the bowl with vinegar was placed, and the light red moon juice in it gradually deepened and turned red; The bowl with the alkali turned yellow.
"What's going on?" Guan Lehe asked Du Jinning.
Du Jinning dared to do this in front of these spirits, he had already prepared his rhetoric, and at the same time gave a reasonable explanation for his previous behavior: "I loved to ponder these things when I was a child, and when I was young, I followed my mother and them to the fields, and I couldn't do anything, so I fiddled with this alone, fiddling with that, all kinds of nonsense. This is what I discovered while fiddling with dirt and flowers. β
She pointed to the bowl of red juice and said, "Let's remember that when you put something acidic in it, the juice will turn red; When you put something alkaline, it turns yellow. β
As she spoke, she put the dirt she had just dug up from under the camphor tree into a bowl. I saw that the juice in the bowl turned a pale yellow.
"It's alkaline?" Yuan Xiuzhu said.
"Yes. The camphor tree is the least alkaline tolerant, so if you plant it in alkaline soil, it will be prone to disease. β
Du Jinning said, took the small branch and ran to the place where Yuan Xiuzhu was going to transplant the camphor tree, dug up some soil, took it back and put it in the only remaining bowl.
After a while, the juice in the bowl turned red.
"The soil here is acidic, which is more suitable for camphor trees." Du Jinning said, "Mr. Yuan, you can ask someone to move the tree over these days when you are free." β
"Good, good." Yuan Xiuzhu looked at Du Jinning at this time as if he was looking at some rare species, both surprised and rare, but also full of exploration.
Du Jinning didn't see it.
She also wants to be a crossing girl quietly, without showing the mountains and water. But since I came through, I was forced by life to show all kinds of skills, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live. But she is not afraid, she has the title and aura of "genius", she is smarter, more advanced, and more powerful, and it is normal that she is not afraid of other people's suspicions at all.
Her origin is innocent, and no one can find out anything. Who called her a soul piercing?
At this time, Yuan Xiuzhu will no longer doubt Du Jinning's ability. He took it out in his arms, took out a silver ticket, and handed it to Du Jinning: "This is the reward, take it." β
Du Jinning hurriedly waved his hand: "Last time, sir, you gave enough, but I accepted it cheekily because of my embarrassing situation." I really can't ask for it again this time. β
"Hey." Yuan Xiuzhu's face straightened, "Don't you look down on your husband?" Am I the kind of person who asks people to do things without paying? Tell you to take it, and you will take it. As he spoke, he grabbed Du Jinning's hand and slapped the silver ticket into her hand.
"Can I do without a silver ticket, but for something else?" Du Jinning took the silver ticket and asked with a bitter face.
"What do you want? If you want strawberry seedlings, wait for spring and give you a few more. Yuan Xiuzhu said generously.
"No, I want some branches and seeds from your garden." Du Jinning said.
Although she knew that with Yuan Xiuzhu's personality, she would definitely give her the silver ticket and things together. But the desire for flowers and trees still made her cheeky.
"As long as I have here, take it." Yuan Xiuzhu said, "The silver is also collected together." β
Although his garden looks exquisite, there are really not many precious flowers and treesβall of them have been moved to the hot spring village. So if Du Jinning wants it, he will naturally not be stingy.
"In that case, I can't take this silver ticket." Du Jinning stuffed the silver ticket back again, and then said with a straight face, "You are my husband, I will do a little trivial thing for you, and I will charge you twenty taels of silver, what have I become?" If you want to do this again, I won't dare to come if there is anything wrong with the plants and trees in your garden in the future. β
Yuan Xiuzhu still wanted to blow his beard and stare at him, but Guan Lehe opened his mouth: "Uncle Yuan, you better take back the silver ticket." Jin Ning is right, he is a disciple. 'If the master has something, the disciple will obey it', this is normal. He has a heart, and you get it. If you really don't want to go, invite him next time, and you will give him money. β
