Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 223 Planting Lotus Flowers Is a Technical Activity
To Monk Tianya's surprise, three people left in the morning and two came back in the afternoon.

Zhang Yiyi was sent to the hospital, where he was checked. The two people who came back were Xiaoxian and Zeng Xuerou.They came back with a bunch of tools, shovels, buckets, water pipes, two pairs of rain boots, and two plastic raincoats for rain.

"Tell you to get out, what are you doing back here?" Monk Tianya saw the two came back again, locked the door of the temple firmly, and yelled at the two through the door.

"Senior Tianya, we damaged your flower, so we have to plant it back for you," Zeng Xuerou listened to Monk Tianya's narration, and guessed that the Ye Youlian must be very precious, and originally planned to pay some money to settle the matter. But he was dissuaded by Xiao Xian.

Not long after leaving "South China Sea" in the morning, Xuerou couldn't understand Xiaoxian's series of actions.

She first asked Xuerou to go to the city to buy the tools she brought at the local flower shop.That’s not enough, I also ordered to rent a yurt in the local yurt resort, and then carried several bags of food, plus a flashlight and an alcohol lamp for heating.

Adding all the things together, there are quite a lot. Although Xuerou didn't know what Xiaoxian was going to do, he still followed the two people's prior discussions. For the sake of secrecy, he specially bought off the ticket seller in the villa.

After the tools and equipment were brought in, Xuerou waited for Xiao Xian to have lunch at the entrance.

It wasn't until around noon that Xiao Xian came back with a satisfied face.When asked where she went in the morning, she only said that she wandered around the lake area of ​​Chengde Mountain Resort.

When eating at noon, Xiaoxian spread her hands, and saw dozens of lotus seeds floating around on her palm.

"The red lotus falling from the lakeside of Ruyi Lake, the red rhyme, the treasure, and the three heavens of fireworks. This is the white lotus found beside the arch bridge of Xiahu Lake, the white crane spreads its wings, and Ruixue, and this is the purple lotus found on Zhijing Yundi, Zixia, Foguang, these are the mandarin ducks and Shaohua that were washed up in the mud at Cailing Ferry." Xiao Xian put those black-skinned lotus seeds on the dining table.

Zeng Xuerou didn't understand why Xiao Xian picked up so many lotus seeds.The lotus flowers in the Summer Resort are blooming well, they are lively and fragrant during the day, and swaying at night, but what can the lotus seeds do? They are still those old diseased seeds that have fallen into the pond mud and have not bloomed.

When asked again, Xiao Xian put on a show and refused to say any more.

After arriving at the "Nanhai" temple, Xiaoxian placed the tools by the pond, and said to the Tianya monk behind the door in a crisp voice: "Senior Tianya, didn't you say that we broke your Yeyoulian? I used it for seven days Give you back a pool of red, pink, yellow and purple."

Monk Tianya could not hear clearly through the door panel, and he groaned in his heart, "Let you blow it, Ye Youlian is also grown by a baby like you. Anyway, I will not open the door to see what you can survive outside. when."

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day has passed.

Monk Tianya was sitting in the hall reciting the Heart Sutra, when there was a sound of water outside, the two girls seemed to have moved.

Monk Tianya ignored and continued to recite sutras.

Xuerou put on her rain boots and raincoat and jumped into the pond with Xiao Xian who was dressed in the same way.

"Xiaoxian, are we really going to do this? Dig out all the mud in the pond?" Xuerou is not very fond of planting, but seeing the fat lotus leaves in the pond, he can guess that the silt in the pond must be very fertile .Putting the good pond mud for use, but hollowing out the pond, this is some kind of lotus planting method.If it weren't for knowing that Xiaoxian has some skills that ordinary people can't, Xuerou really wouldn't be messing around with Xiaoxian.

"Xuerou, let me tell you," Xiaoxian said loudly, making sure that the monk inside who was reciting the Heart Sutra could also hear clearly, "to plant lotus, you need to use silt and non-polluting soil."

"It's up to you," Monk Tianya recited the Heart Sutra, and stared at the Bodhisattva in the hall, "Monk, I am also literate, and I have checked the information a long time ago."

"However, I always throw away some leftovers, fish bones and chicken bones as manure. The soil used for planting is too fertile. If it is too fertile, the fertilizer will damage the lotus, and the lotus will only grow leaves and not bloom." Xiao Xian As he said that, he easily picked up a shovelful of pond mud and sent it to the shore.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xuerou's movements were much slower than Xiaoxian's. She had never done farm work, and her shoulders were sore and swollen all afternoon.

Until six or seven o'clock, Xuerou sat down to catch her breath, took out the pots and bowls used for the picnic, and prepared dinner.

During the whole process, the door of the temple was tightly closed.The two made such a big commotion, Monk Tianya didn't come out to take a look.

Xuerou found two bags of rib-flavored instant noodles, plus two ham sausages and two marinated eggs. The water in the pond was cloudy and undrinkable. Fortunately, she also prepared mineral water.On the mountain, I can't be picky so much.

Xiaoxian looked into the pot, then walked around, and picked up a few wild vegetables, "Malan vegetables, mustard greens, when eating instant noodles, you should add some green vegetables, which is good for your health." After a while, the alcohol lamp A tempting aroma wafted from the heated noodle pot.

After eating, Xiaoxian and Zeng Xuerou built a tent according to the yurt building guide, and there was a solar energy-saving lamp in the tent.

Zeng Xuerou found a more comfortable position in the tent, and said, "It turns out that doing physical work is no easier than mental work."

Xiaoxian hummed casually, holding the consonance scissors in his hand, and beside him were dozens of diseased lotus seeds, "I'm doing mental work now, where should I get the knife?"

Seeing Lingxi scissors, Zeng Xuerou let out a "babble", and recognized that pair of scissors as the sharp weapon that cut off Fengniao's feathers that night.The situation was urgent that night, and Zeng Xuerou didn't see the specific shape of the scissors clearly. When he saw it tonight, the scissors seemed very ordinary.

Xiaoxian pinched a lotus seed with her index finger and middle finger, and gestured at the two ends of the lotus seed, "Unexpectedly, the skin of the lotus seed is quite dry and hard. The Lingxi scissors are too sharp. If you stab it in, it will easily hurt the seeds inside." .”

"So soak it in water." Zeng Xuerou has seen mung bean sprouts grown by his grandmother, and they grow out of mung bean water.

"Okay, let's soak in water for a while." Xiaoxian got out of the tent, and after a while, she came back with a basin of glistening silver water.

"Hey, I remember the water in the pond was very cloudy, why did it become so clear during the meal time?" Xuerou originally wanted to say that the bowl of water brought back by Xiaoxian was very beautiful, but think about it, use It's not good to describe it. It seems too much to describe a bowl of water as beautiful.

"It'll be fine after soaking for an hour," Xiaoxian stuck out her tongue.

Half an hour later, the lotus seed skin was thrown away, and Xiaoxian cut the end of the lotus seed with Lingxi, and opened a small opening, which was the same for every lotus seed.After opening the mouth for the lotus seeds, she soaked the lotus seeds in the bowl of water.

"Xiaoxian, you don't really want to grow a pond of lotus in seven days, do you? That's too fast, isn't it?" When Zeng Xuerou traveled to Yunnan, he also saw a kind of local production and processing called small flower farmers. gardening small potted plant.It takes two or three days at the fastest from the time the seeds are planted in the soil to when they germinate.Xiaoxian said that it only takes seven days from burrowing into the soil to flowering, isn't that an exaggeration?

"It's only seven days. I wouldn't dare to say that in the past, but now, I can assure you. Don't worry about it. Anyway, we still have more than a week of vacation, as long as we can get back together before our aunt comes to pick us up. Just appease Monk Tianya and ask Mei Nian the real reason for us to come here." Xiaoxian said, smiling mysteriously.When she was in Meijiawu, she learned what Mei Xiang said to use bio-extraction to control aura. Soaking roses in silver solution, it only took a few seconds from flower bud to flowering, so seven days must be the same. no problem.

Under Xiaoxian's reassurance, Xuerou fell asleep with peace of mind.

The rented yurt tents are simple to build, and the lying body can directly touch the grass under the tent cloth, and the nose can smell a burst of fragrance.

When she woke up in the morning, the first thing Xuerou did was to check the bowl that Xiao Xian used to hold the lotus seeds.

A basin full of water has been sucked to the point where only half of the basin is left. The lotus seeds with a hole were broken to reveal the white lotus kernels.

"It's really grown out," Xiaoxian felt amused seeing Xuerou's rare stunned expression.

"Of course it has grown out. If Yiyi sees you like this, he will laugh at you." Speaking of Zhang Yiyi, Zeng Xuerou felt worried again. Hearing that he accidentally swallowed a gecko that looked like a four-legged snake , Zhang Yiyi vomited several times, and kept saying that she must die soon.

"Come on, when you went to go through the admission procedures, she even asked me to buy a few bags of biscuits and Coke, saying that she wanted to fight poison with poison and use junk food to eliminate the poisonous effects of four-legged snakes." Humanoids, even Skinks, are helpless.

"Okay, then our next job today is to clean up the pond and plant the germinated lotus seeds?" Xuerou Xiaoxian had already shoveled off the excess mud in the pond yesterday evening, and the rest should be the The lotus and lotus root that only grow leaves but not bloom are clearly discarded.

"Well, let's not waste it. Dig out the lotus root and use it to stew lotus root soup at night, but there are not a few spare ribs, which are not tasty enough." Even in the wild where oxtail grass grows all around, Xiaoxian knows how to enjoy the bitterness.

Xiao Xian cut off the skin of the lotus seeds, revealing a row of white and tender lotus seed kernels.Peeling the shell and throwing it into the mouth, there is a sweet taste.

The two of them had been busy all afternoon, and the mud beside the Ye Youlian plant had been cleaned up.

The lotus pond suddenly became empty, Xuerou Xiaoxian ate fresh lotus root porridge that night.

When resting at night, a few washed lotus roots were thrown by the pond.In the middle of the night, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.Xiao Xian in the tent opened her eyes alertly.

Monk Tianya walked to the yurt with white cloth and blue patterns, looked at the lotus pond that had been cleaned up, reached out and picked up a few pieces of lotus root, with a pensive expression on his face.
