Chapter 498: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination (21) (Add more to Caiyi~)

Under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers of Xujia Village cleaned up the ruins in the nunnery before the Chinese New Year, pulled out the weeds that came out of the mud, loosened the soil twice, and made fertilizer once, and waited for spring to plant flowers.

Xu Yin inspected the greenhouses renovated by the nunnery, expressed her satisfaction with the labor efficiency of the villagers, and asked Xu Kui to settle their wages.

She plans to divide the greenhouse into two areas: one for hardy flowers and one for vegetables.

However, after the beginning of spring, seasonal vegetables can be planted in their own plots and in the front yard of the house, and the greenhouses are temporarily borrowed to plant flowers.

Plant a few flowers that need to be pampered, such as camellias, peonies, orchids, phalaenopsis, and epiphyllums.

The delicate epiphany perfume has always been her favorite.

If you can make an epiphany perfume in person, you can make your dream come true.

After planning the planting of the greenhouse, Xu Yin came to the firewood mountain that was cleared out a few years ago but had not yet been sown.

She asked Xu Kui to write it down: "This mountain will be called Spice No. 2 Mountain in the future, and all of it will be planted with lavender; This is Mountain No. 3, and it's all planted with rosemary. ”

Because these two are the most used, whether it is an essential oil or a perfume, lavender and rosemary are classics.

Hill 4 plans to grow some adjuncts that are not in high demand, but are excellent for flavoring, such as lemon, citrus, cardamom, chamomile, geranium, patchouli, sage, etc.

As for the spice mountain that has been opened and has been harvested, it is naturally the No. 1 mountain.

Go back and make a new division, remove the lavender and rosemary; Expand the planting area of rose, jasmine and vetiver; The top of the mountain is still a boutique cultivation area.

Xu Kui saw that his girl used one, two, three, four to number the spice mountain, and he always felt a little unelegant.

I remembered that the old lady and the old man at that time, any spice in the shop, before the new one, had to be written for several days before a crepe incense name came out, so I accompanied the careful proposal:

"Girl, after our flowers and plants are extracted into essential oils, they are mainly sold to those rich ladies and young ladies, who may not be able to understand literary ink, but they like the name of Wen Crepe, according to the villain's opinion, why not take an elegant name with Lianshan?"

Xu Yin didn't say a word: "Okay, this task will be handed over to you." ”

She was too busy to waste her time on naming the mountain.

Xu Kui: "......"

Unexpectedly, the girl would value him so much.

fell to his knees with a thud, and gratefully wanted to kowtow to Xu Yin.

Xu Yin: "......"

Headache pressing the forehead corner.

"If you do this again, I'll give one, two, three, four as the name of the mountain?"

Xu Kui immediately got up and cleaned his trouser legs.

For fear of being one step late, the girl will take away the right to name them, and from then on these mountains will be called No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4.

After taking over this important task, Xu Kui realized in hindsight that although he knew a few words, he only knew a few words, and let him chew the words and recite poems and write poems, and he didn't have the strength!

But the task has been taken, and it will be handed back...... First, I was afraid that the girl would feel that she was not capable of doing porcelain work; Second, he was afraid that the girl would give these mountains a big name on the spot.

No! He must give these treasure mountains that are related to the foundation of Xu's spice shop for thousands of generations, and give them an elegant and beautiful name.

So, he arranged the normal operation of the greenhouse base of the fragrance workshop, and took the time to go back to Xufu to find his father for help.

"Dad, who in our house knows how to recite poetry?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I need help coming up with a few good and urbane names."

The old butler stroked his beard and shook his head: "I'm afraid no one can help you in this matter." ”

When the bad news of the death of the lord and the wife in Xiangcheng came, the female master who was stationed in the house to teach the girl qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, was worried that the house would wear sacks with filial piety and hang white yarn, so she paid her salary and left on the same day.

At present, in addition to the girl in the house, he is the most literate and ink-savvy.

"But Daddy is just like you." The old housekeeper patted his son on the shoulder: "At most, I am familiar with the three-character scripture, then I am still fortunate to learn from the old lady, and nothing else...... Huh? The new bookkeeper has a good handwriting, and he may have some goods in his stomach, why don't you ask him? However, he doesn't speak very well, otherwise he wouldn't have a good face cut like that, I'm afraid he won't be able to think of a good name......"

Xu Kui thinks about a dead horse as a live horse doctor, what if the other party has read the Eight Classics and can recite poems? So I went to the accounting office for advice.

Sikong picked his ears: "...... You say, what to name? ”

"Mountain!" Xu Kui replied loudly, "After the girl cleaned up the four firewood mountains, they were all planted with spice flowers, and all the mountains were planted with lavender, and when the flowers bloomed, it was like a sea of purple mist, so beautiful that it was like a fairyland; A rosemary, all planted with small white flowers, is also very beautiful; There are two more, and there are many flowers planted together, but I thought, it is not appropriate to call it Baihua Mountain, after all, there are not so many kinds of ......"

Lala mischievously described the four mountains planted with spice flowers to Sikong, and pleaded at the end: "Brother Sikong, if you know, help me." If Brother Sikong encounters any difficulties in the future, I will do my best to help you......"

Sikong was entangled by him, picked up the brush, wrote a few words on the paper at random, picked it up and blew the ink that had not dried, and handed it to Xu Kui: "If you don't dislike it, take it!" ”

Xu Kui took it in his hand and carefully identified it, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Sikong, your cursive handwriting is really wild enough, I can't recognize a word......

Sikong: "......"

I had to write another one.

After Xu Kui read it, he smiled and said, "I can recognize it when I write it like this...... Birds, Suyue, Autumn Fragrance, Qunfang, good name! ”

He hugged his fist at Sikong and thanked him, then put the piece of paper in his arms like a treasure, and went back to the other courtyard to give his errand.

Xu Yin received the four mountain names he presented and raised her eyebrows, not bad! It's quite cultured.

Especially the name of the bird, purple in ancient times also called the head of the bird, a piece of purple meet in this mountain, is not the bird?

"I can't see it, Xu Kui, your cultural attainments are not low! Why don't you continue to read and take a test? ”

Xu Kui was afraid that the girl would really pay for him to go to the academy to study for the scientific examination, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly confessed to Sikong:

"Girl, don't hide it, these names are not thought up by the small ones, they are commonplace, just the account room in our house, help the little ones think ......"

"It's him......"

Xu Yin was quite impressed by the newcomer's accounting room.

The main thing is that face, which is so ruined that it is really impossible to see.

In addition, the man seems to be very timid, and when he speaks, he always bows his head and his voice is very soft. I didn't expect that in addition to being able to settle accounts and keep accounts, I also have a literary and artistic style.

"Since you have so much heart on naming those mountains, then make them a priority!"

From then on, the mountain full of lavender is called Quefeng, the mountain full of rosemary is called Suyue, the mountain mixed with dozens of spices is called Qiuxiang, and the No. 1 mountain of the fine flower cultivation base is called Qunfang.
