Chapter Twenty-Seven: He Xiao
He Xiao came quickly, and as soon as Ming Yueqing finished dinner, Shen Lingxi brought him here.
"Miss Ming, I've seen the girl in Xia Hexiao."
"Uh......"
Looking at the polite and scholarly person in front of her, Ming Yueqing thought about it, did she want to say "He Gongzi is polite"?
Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but get goosebumps, so forget it!
"Have you eaten?"
"Huh?"
He Xiao couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the girl in front of him, and he shook his head in a daze.
Then he saw a big smile on the girl's face.
"That's right, I left you dinner, you can eat first!"
Mingyue ran out with a few steps, and came in a few steps, with food in her hand.
"Sit down and eat."
He Xiao subconsciously took the chopsticks she handed over, and felt that something was wrong, so he was about to stand up.
"Ling Xi, this is the spicy soup I made, you can taste it."
As she spoke, she pushed one of the bowls on the tray that looked like a hodgepodge in front of Shen Lingxi.
He Xiao watched the young master pick up the chopsticks and sat down quietly.
He could see that this was specially left by Miss Ming for the young master.
Shen Lingxi was also very happy, but he didn't expect Qingqing to leave him something to eat.
"Qingqing's cooking is delicious, you can taste it too."
The rare initiative, and the feeling of honor in the tone made He Xiao very curious about this Ming girl who met for the first time.
What's more, she also knows the method of tea tree propagation.
"Taste it!" Ming Yueqing looked at He Xiao, who was a little distracted, "You came so quickly, you definitely didn't have dinner, so I left you some, coarse tea and light rice, don't mind." ”
"Miss Ming is polite, thank you Miss Ming."
There were bumps all the way, and there was an autumn wind, He Xiao did have a dry mouth, so he picked up the spoon and drank the soup and stewed vegetables...... Miss Ming said Hu spicy soup.
As soon as he took his mouth, a mellow and rich flavor stimulated his taste buds and made him like it very much, but the taste was ......
He immediately raised his head, and just wanted to say, "The young master doesn't eat spicy", when he saw that the young master was eating with relish, one bite after another.
He Xiao felt that since Chaoge returned to find him today, it was destined to be an unpeaceful day.
He laughed silently and began to eat.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Shen Lingxi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "Qingqing, did you study this spicy soup yourself?" It's delicious, I've never had such a special soup! ”
He Xiao lowered his head, and the loneliness at the corners of his lips became even greater.
Ming Yueqing laughed dryly: "No, I learned it from others, just drink it." ”
He Xiao has never eaten a meal like today, almost gobbling it up, it's not that he wants to be like this, but in this atmosphere, he can't let himself eat calmly at all.
It was already autumn, but he felt as if he was full of peach blossoms everywhere, full of spring love.
He didn't want to spoil Miss Ming's craftsmanship, but he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so he could only eat secretly and quickly, and almost choked himself to death.
Quietly stroking his chest, He Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the two.
"Can Gongzi He eat well?"
Facing Shang Mingyueqing's smiling face, He Xiao's mouthful of food almost came up again, he took a deep breath and endured it.
"Eat well, thank you Miss Ming."
He Xiao swallowed his saliva and considered his mouth, "Miss Ming, this tea tree breeds ......"
Mingyueqing smiled, Shen Lingxi was right, this He Xiao was really a workaholic, if he wasn't there, I was afraid that he would ask about it as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't worry, Gongzi He, have a cup of tea, let's talk slowly."
He Xiao smiled wryly.
After pouring a cup of tea, Ming Yueqing glanced at him and spoke a little embarrassedly.
"Actually, I only know a rough idea of this, I've only seen it, but I haven't actually operated it."
He Xiao no longer had the embarrassment just now, and when he talked about the things he liked, his whole person came alive: "Miss Ming, but it doesn't matter, even if it's just rough, please tell Miss Ming." ”
Seeing Ming Yueqing's slightly surprised eyes, he was a little embarrassed and a little guilty.
"Miss Ming doesn't know, at present, our tea tree propagation is using the strip method, in addition to that, it is to directly sow seeds, but this method is slower, and it has not been used for many years."
He looked at her, "But there are also many deficiencies in the strip method, don't hide it from the girl, I have been researching new breeding methods, but with little success, I am really ashamed, if the girl can teach one or two, He Xiao is grateful." ”
As he spoke, he also stood up and saluted, making Ming Yueqing cry and laugh.
"Gongzi He, please sit down, I don't dare to advise, I can only say, I will tell you everything I know."
Motioning for the other party to sit down, Ming Yueqing spoke.
"The propagation method I know is propagation by cuttings, which is actually very simple, that is, on the mother tree, choose branches, branches or cuttings with seed roots, and insert them directly into the cultivated soil."
"In general, in terms of the effect of propagation by cuttings, the upper part is better than the middle, the middle part is better than the lower part, and the best effect should be short spike cuttings with incomplete branches with three or four leaves, the material used is economical and the reproductive coefficient is the highest."
"But now that the weather is getting cooler, I don't know if this method is suitable or not, and you need to consider it yourself based on your past experience."
It was the first time He Xiao had heard of this method, and he sounded extremely serious.
"I see! It's just that Miss Ming ...... "He Xiao is worthy of being a person who is obsessed with tea, and after a little thought, he thought of the crux of the problem."
"If you use this cuttings propagation method, listen to the girl's meaning, whether it is a branch, a branch or a root with a seed, it needs to be separated from the mother tree, will this damage the success rate of its propagation?"
Ming Yueqing raised her eyebrows, in the end, the professional is different, and you can find the key in three or two sentences.
"He Gongzi is very worried, so it is best to cut and cut this cuttings in the early morning or evening to keep the moisture and nutrients of the branches and leaves."
"If it is a root cutting, you can use a root with a seed, or directly cut the root into segments and insert it in the soil, this method can dip the root into yellow mud to reduce water loss."
"In terms of specific operation, there are some details to pay attention to, if He Gongzi is interested, I can write it down and sort it out."
"That's the best!" He Xiao stood up, and this time he cherished the matter.
"Today, I am fortunate to listen to Miss Ming's words, He Xiaomao suddenly opened, and benefited a lot, please accept my worship!"
Ming Yueqing was startled, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid his salute.
"He Gongzi doesn't need to be like this, Ling Xi and I are friends, and this planting of tea trees is also a good thing for Qingshan Village, and besides, I just tell the truth what I know, it's all a trivial matter."
"Miss Ming is humble." He Xiao's eyes sparkled, "If this cuttings propagation is successful, this tea tree propagation will undergo huge changes in the future, and Miss Ming has contributed a lot!" ”
"Hehe......"
Mingyueqing laughed dryly twice, and looked at Shen Lingxi for help.
Shen Lingxi moved the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay, since Qingqing said so, you don't want to be so polite, don't you still have a lot of things to ask?" ”
Sure enough, He Xiao immediately began to ask some detailed questions.
Ming Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, this is good, be natural, relaxed, she is always not used to being too serious.
The night is still very long.
