Chapter 488: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination novel (10)
In August, two unknown flowers from the Garden of Cultivation World finally sprouted.
Xu Yin was already prepared to fail.
Who would have thought that it would take so long for these rice-sized flower seeds to germinate after being soaked for a day and sown.
Xu Yin took care of them carefully and recorded their growth status every day. She found that ten days had passed before the buds had grown to the size of a little finger, and the green stems were so delicate that they could break with the slightest touch.
Xu Yin couldn't help rubbing her chin and thinking: How many years will it take for those adult-high flower stems and huge flower plates in the garden to grow?
Then I thought again: Time in the world of cultivation is the least valuable. Ten years can pass with the snap of a finger, and a hundred years can only take a blink of an eye and a few breaths to those monks.
So do we still need to cultivate it?
She hesitated.
Suddenly, she thought of the spiritual dew that also came from the Baiyuan Garden. She wondered if watering them with spiritual dew would make them grow faster?
So, she chose a tender bud that seemed to be the weakest and watered it with spiritual dew.
The rest still uses local mountain spring water.
At this time, she particularly missed the mountain spring water of Lingxu Sect.
Although the spiritual energy is very weak and far less abundant than the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual dew water, it is still extraordinary compared to ordinary mountain spring water.
I am thinking about going to Lingxu Sect next time I have a chance to recuperate, and I want to fill up all the water storage tanks in the system warehouse.
Of course, if you have the opportunity to go to Baiyuan Garden again, you will definitely want to collect more spiritual dew water.
They are all good things!
Speaking of good things, she also has the loam from Taoyuan Star, which is also very beneficial to plant growth.
So I took some out, and this time I picked another bud as the experimental subject. Still use regular soil for the rest.
She marked the flower seedlings watered with Linglu water as No. 1, the flower seedlings mixed with Taoyuanxing soil as No. 2, and the rest were not marked.
After that, observe and record regularly every day.
In a blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
After several days of observation and recording, Xu Yin came to the following conclusion based on the growth ability of these flower seedlings:
No. 1No. 2Others.
It can be seen that the spiritual dew, which also comes from the world of cultivation, has the greatest effect on these flowers.
But the effect of Taoyuanxing soil is not bad either.
Whats more, she didnt mix much, only about 10%. If you add more, you can even use Taoyuanxing soil to plant...
Xu Yins ideas were wide open and she immediately started experimenting.
She put up small wooden signs with numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 in front of the unlabeled flower seedlings.
Then, 20% of Taoyuanxing soil was mixed into No. 3 flower seedlings, 50% was mixed into No. 4 flower seedlings, 70% was mixed into No. 5 flower seedlings, and all No. 6 flower seedlings were replaced with Taoyuanxing soil.
Time passed quietly as she devoted herself to cultivating unknown flowers in the garden...
In a blink of an eye, the weather turns cooler and enters the golden autumn of October.
Xu Yins flower seedling experiment is also coming to an end.
With her unremitting efforts and adjustments, she finally integrated a set of cultivation plans that can make Baiyuans flower seedlings grow the fastest and have the strongest stems and leaves
Linglu water is combined with 50% Taoyuanxing soil.
If combined with all the Taoyuanxing soil, the growth rate is indeed the fastest, but it also presents a problem: the leaves are too fat.
Planting flowers is different from growing vegetables. The flowers need strong stems to support them. If the flowers and leaves are too fat, she is worried about them falling over later.
After experimenting with the best cultivation methods, Xu Yin transplanted these flower seedlings to the boutique planting area on the top of Spice Mountain. There are three flowers of each type, just like a small family, looking a little sparse.
Anyhow, she knew how to cultivate it, so she soaked a handful of seeds again.
This time I picked two unknown flowers that have a light and elegant fragrance, but are particularly beautiful when they bloom.
Always call them unknown flowers, and no one knows who they are.
Xu Yin gave them names based on her impression:
Two types with strong floral fragrance are called "auspicious" and "auspicious" respectively, both of which have a homophonic word for "fragrant";
Two newly sown flowers with elegant fragrance are called "Yueyin" and "Xingkui" according to their flower shapes when they are in full bloom. The petals of the former are curved like the light moon, while the stamens of the latter are as silky as the Milky Way.
After finishing all this work, the old housekeeper sent his servant to deliver a basket of seasonal fruits and a message asking her if she could go back home in the middle of autumn.
It turns out that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!
Xu Yin thought for a while, then go back!
It's time to take stock of the house's accounts to see if the new accountant is honest.
Hearing that the girl was coming back, the old housekeeper led the servants in the house to vigorously clean up the house.
Sikong, you are responsible for the accounting room, be sure to clean it!
The boy running errands next to the old housekeeper came to inform.
The other party nods slightly to show that he understands.
The boy scratched his head, feeling strange! Why does this new accountant give people a kind of... what's the word? right! Be powerful without anger! The feeling is even scarier than when the old man was angry at their servants!
He was not even ten years old at the time, and when he saw the old man getting angry for the first time, he was so frightened that he peed. But today, facing Sikong's counting house, that feeling of being so scared that I wanted to pee came back.
But Brother Sikong is obviously just a weak accountant who cannot shoulder the responsibility.
How strange!
At the Sun family in Fengcheng, the grandma came back from the street with a smile on her face.
"My son has become a scholar. Those neighbors who used to have high standards now see me and are extremely enthusiastic. They even ask my son if he is married. Bah! When my son passes the provincial examination next year, he will be the master of the exam. Who would want to marry a girl from such a small family?"
Sun Zhiqian yawned and came out of the room, feeling weak: "Mom, brother Xiujie failed the exam and can't go to the provincial examination."
"Huh?" Grandmother was stunned, "Does that mean that the expenses for going to Fucheng and Rural Examination next year have not been settled yet?"
Thats right! I still owe him the debt this time, but he failed again. I cant ask him for it again because I cant open my mouth.
What should we do? Suns mother was so anxious that she was anxious.
The only income the family has comes from Suns father working part-time for others. Occasionally, if you meet a generous owner, you will be rewarded with some money, but this is rare.
The money earned from part-time work, after excluding the daily expenses of the family, is not much left at all. How can I save enough to pay for the expensive exams?
In the past, to support my son's education, I would go back to my parents' home during festivals and festivals. I would buy some expensive gifts such as silks and satins from my second brother, and sell them and **** them for a lot of money.
Now that my parents are long gone and my second brother has died, where can I get money?
After much thought, I still have to contact my niece.
As long as he contacted his niece and coaxed her to change her mind, with her generosity and wealth, she would have enough money, not to mention her son's exam expenses, and he would have enough money to change his house, move into a hospital, and buy a farm.
Grandmother Suns calculations were crackling and she decided to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to go to Fengcheng again.
It cant be so unlucky. The butler is not here, right?
As long as the housekeeper is there and she can find out where her niece Shouxiao lives, she will be confident.
In the first episode after losing her parents, I was the only aunt thinking about her and traveled thousands of miles to accompany her. I believe my niece will be moved.
While thinking about it, Suns mother was moved first...
