Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 107 Raising Seedlings
After the end of the camping activities of Riyaken, Soya did not go out for the next two days.

Of course, the so-called didn’t go out means that he didn’t go to any faraway places, but he walked around all over the place——Yoshikawa took on the task of walking the dog during the holidays, and would come here every day, calling him and Akane Kirino together.

Quietly, half of the Golden Week has passed, and it is the morning of a new day.

After breakfast, Soya sat at the edge of the living room, flipping through the book he borrowed from Asagiri Rin.

She is also sitting nearby.

The surroundings are quiet, and the late spring sun shines on the courtyard, warm and bright, not yet hot.

Kirino Akane and Yoshikawa have not come yet, and the Tanjima couple who stayed at Kirino's old house two days ago have also left here and headed north to Hida in Gifu.

Another relative came here yesterday, but they only stayed for one night and left before they got up.

Sogu was holding the book, but he didn't pay attention to it. He could hear the sound of pages being turned next to him very clearly.

wow.

When he looked over, Chao Wuling also quickly raised his head.

Soya pointed to the few books next to him, "Before moving here, where were the books in Suzu's collection?"

"Royal Garden."

"...Then this can be regarded as the royal collection."

She nodded, and said after a while: "They agreed."

As for "them", they are naturally the previous owners of Yuyuan.

Izanami would not treat herself badly in terms of living, and lived in the imperial palace at that time grandly, and the same was true for Asagiri who had been following her;

Even when the capital was later moved, the two who were already used to living in Kyoto Gyoen did not go to Tokyo together.There are dwellings for them both in the sights and in the sights of the palace.

"Do you want to drop by tomorrow?" Soya asked.

During the Golden Week, the hotel rooms around Gion in Kyoto were full, and Yoshikawa only booked the room for tomorrow, so their trip to Kyoto has not yet started in the middle of the holiday.

Zhao Wuling looked at him, "The day after tomorrow."

They will spend the night at the hotel in Gion tomorrow, "After it's over."

"Ah."

"When the time comes... well, let's talk about it."

"Ah."

After the conversation ended, the two picked up their books, and the silence was quickly broken.

Dengdengdeng-

There was a rush of footsteps from top to bottom, from far to near, Yuedu soon appeared in the living room, holding a small storage box in his hand.

"More than half of them have sprouted!"

Soya, who was on the side, looked back, and seeing Yueyue's excited face, he also smiled.

"Not easy."

"Shouldn't it be planted in the ground?"

"It's early, it's not that time yet." He put down the book and stood up, "We have to wait until the sprouts grow into seedlings and the two true leaves are fully unfolded."

He took the storage box and opened the lid to have a look.

After two or three days of cultivation, more than half of the tomato seeds sprinkled on wet paper towels have sprouted, and the germination rate is not bad.

There is also a circle drawn with a pen in the corner of the paper towel, and in the circle, the seed that Yuedu had fancied at the beginning also germinated.

"I don't need to mark it, I can recognize it."

Soya shook his head, but also knew where the missing pen on his desk went.

Yueyue's face was slightly smug, and then asked him what to do next.

"Go to the corridor."

"Uh-huh."

He came to the corridor and looked back at Soya, "And then?"

"Call Kirino. If she's free, ask her to come over and transplant the sprouts together."

"..."

Ten minutes later, Akane Kirino came to the old house excitedly.

"let me see!"

Staring at the tiny buds, she unconsciously smiled.

"Great, our seeds have sprouted."

Soya nodded, "It's time to transfer to the seedling tray."

"Uh-huh."

Akane Kirino put down the small storage box and walked to the backyard.

"The seedling tray should be in the warehouse too, I'll look for it."

Before the figure disappeared, she turned her head again, "Songya is coming too."

"Ah."

Tsukiyomi also followed the two, watching Soya and Akane Kirino enter the warehouse, and then came out alone with a shovel and a bamboo sieve.

"What?"

"Prepare the soil."

Sogu looked around, took the farm tools to find an open space, dug a few times, and shoveled the soil onto the bamboo sieve.

Just as he was about to bend down, Yuedu next to him picked up the bamboo sieve first.

"What are you going to do next?"

"...You don't know anything, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Sogu shook his head, then said, "Sieve the soil."

"How to sift?"

"shake."

rustle--

Yuedu shook the bamboo sieve, and the fine particles in the farmland soil got through the gaps and fell down one after another.

The fine soil piled up on the ground, Sogu grabbed a little bit and pinched it with his fingers.

Tsukiyomi trembled vigorously, "How is it?"

"Okay……"

Soya is also breeding for the first time, and he has no clear concept of many of the elements.

On the other side, Akane Kirino quickly found the seedling tray, took it out, and went to the sink to clean it.

The seedling tray is covered with grooves, four rows and eight rows, and one piece can cultivate 32 seedlings, which is enough.

"How about it?"

Facing Akane Kirino who knelt down to knead the soil, Soya also asked the same question.

"..."

She stared at the fine soil on her fingers, dazed and confident, "It's okay!"

So, the three of them began to add soil to the grid of the seedling tray.

"It's enough to put a little, and we'll have to do it later...don't compact the soil!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The soil that has just been dug from the ground is relatively moist and does not need to be watered for the time being.

After filling all the 32 grids of the seedling tray with some soil, Yue Du returned to the edge and brought over the storage box containing tomato seeds.

"Be careful, don't hurt the bud."

As Soya reminded, he twisted the germinated seeds on the wet paper towel, and put only one seed in each grid.

The number of germinated seeds was not enough to completely fill the seedling tray, so he put two or three of the ungerminated seeds together and threw them into the remaining grids.

"This is your last chance..." he whispered.

Yuedu watched from the sidelines and couldn't help asking: "What if it still doesn't sprout?"

"Nothing."

"what?"

Soya looked down at the tiny seeds, "Nothing will happen except to rot and decompose and become part of the soil."

"Do not."

Kirino Akane shook her head at this moment.

"These ungerminated seeds will hide in the soil, and in the summer, they will burrow out of the ground and come back as mosquitoes."

"..."

Yuedu looked at her in disbelief, and looked at her for a while, "Really?"

"real."

"but……"

He hesitated, "Mosquitoes are animals, so these seeds should be plants?"

"That's right." Akane Kirino nodded again and again, "Isn't it amazing?"

"……Amazing."

Seeing that Yue read the letter and thought it was true, Soya next to him finally couldn't listen anymore, and hurriedly asked Kirino Akane to stop destroying his fragile common sense.

"Don't be so serious... I'm not a child anymore, who would take it seriously."

"..."

Soya glanced at Tsukiyomi, but neither of them spoke.

Transplanting is not over yet.

After transferring the seeds to the seedling tray, Soya and Akane Kirino picked up the fine soil and leaked a little soil in each grid, about one centimeter thick, completely covering the seeds and sprouts underneath.

After covering the soil is watering.

After watering, Akane Kirino took plastic wrap and covered the seedling tray to keep warm and moisturize.

"Okay."

She clapped her hands, "The next thing is to wait for them to break through the ground."

"Ah."

Tsukiyomi poked twice on the transparent and thin plastic wrap, and was beaten by Soya.

"It hurts... how long will it take to unearth?"

"Quickly, one to two weeks."

"Long time!"

After the seedlings are unearthed, they need to receive light in time, and people need to pay attention to them at ordinary times. Therefore, Akane Kirino simply placed the seedling trays on the edge, so that they can be seen in the living room.

After she was busy, she only sat here for a while before going back.

"... There are also relatives at home, from Nara."

For relatives who just come to visit and do not stay overnight, Kirino and his wife usually receive them in their own home.

After sending Akane Kirino away, Soya called Tsukiyomi back to the living room, and raised his chin in front of the TV.

"It's time for class."

"..."

Regarding this matter, Yuedu is not as resistant as it was at the beginning, but reluctance is inevitable - when Soya is at home, there is no money for serious classwork.

"Want money?"

Sogu looked at him for a while, "I'm preparing lunch and dinner, why do you need money?"

"I've also reached the age where I need to keep some money on me..."

"you are dead."

"...It's fine if you don't give it!"

But you can't just forget about the class.

It's just that Yuedu is reluctant, and he doesn't pay much attention to the lessons on TV.

"What does Yuedu-sama want money for?" Soya asked again.

This time he didn't hide it anymore.

"I want to buy a computer."
