Jiang Yunru's planting base covers a large area. In addition to the fine flower cultivation area, there is also a large lavender meadow, sunflower field, lily flower garden, tulip field, rose garden... The best flowers sold in the flower shop are all grown by her. of.
Xu Yin looked over and felt itchy: "Sister Ru, is it expensive to rent a piece of land here?"
"good."
Jiang Yunru said "okay", not "not expensive", it must not be cheap.
Same, this is a suburb of a large capital city, not a rural area in a remote county.
Xu Yin gave up this thought for the time being.
“You want to rent a piece of land to grow flowers?” Jiang Yunru turned to look at her.
“No, I want to grow some spices.” Xu Yin said matter-of-factly.
She was inspired by Professor He's advice.
Professor He said that the biggest reason why his friend liked her design draft was that her design concept was very innovative.
Different from the flower areas that other students inserted in the design drawings, the green plants she marked were all spices, and they followed the laws of the four seasons and followed the planting rules, which made the other students' eyes brighten...
The other party also asked Professor He: "Do you have any good varieties of spice plants to recommend?"
Professor He has not studied spices, but Xu Yin has.
She suddenly came up with an idea: If she had a piece of land dedicated to cultivating spice plants suitable for courtyard scenery, and arranged the spice planting area to be similar to her yard, it would be nothing more than expanding the planting area.
For example, the tree species of spices can be expanded to a dozen or even dozens of trees; for example, the water feature at the entrance can be designed as a water pavilion surrounded by spice plants; and for example, the bonsai spices can be replaced with bonsai pots as big as water tanks... In short, it will make it easier for her to cultivate more. Multi-spice plants.
Wouldn’t it be possible to make it public for netizens to enjoy and have a chance to get millions of likes and complete system tasks?
After all, the system didn’t say it had to be the yard where her family lived, only the courtyard landscape. Couldn't she rent a piece of land and lay out a courtyard landscape for people all over the world to enjoy?
System: ...When it comes to taking advantage of loopholes, you still know how to do it.
【Ding—The courtyard is harmonious and the family is prosperous! Create the most beautiful garden and enjoy a beautiful life! If the courtyard landscape is praised by 10,000 people, it will be rewarded with 2,000 energy points; if it is praised by 100,000 people, it will be rewarded with 20,000 energy points; if it is praised by one million people, the progress bar will increase by 1-3%. 】
The system seemed to have detected her taking advantage of the loopholes and hit her again.
Xu Yin: “…”
This means it must be a courtyard for living?
Okay! She couldn't afford land in the suburbs of Beijing anyway.
System: If you can afford it, you will take advantage of it?
"If you want to plant, I can evenly distribute it to you!" Jiang Yunru pointed to the land past the rose garden, "There are not enough people this year, and there is nothing to plant there yet. You should go ahead and plant it."
She suggested: "Sister Ru, why don't you plant some gypsophila? This flower is a versatile flower and should be in great demand. It is also very easy to take care of. You don't have to worry about it after sowing. It's better than leaving it unused. "
"I asked a long-term customer to get Gypsophila. She used to be an employee of my store. Her husband fell ill and passed away a few years ago. She had to raise two children by herself. She couldn't come to work here, so she went back to her hometown to farm. I bought some flowers and plants that are easy to care for and sell them to me when they are mature."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yunru looked at Xu Yin with a smile: "The land is also barren. Do you have any recommendations for spices that are easy to take care of? Plant it here, and when it matures, if you have no other use, just pot it and put it in I sell them in my shop. I think the spices you keep at the entrance of the restaurant are good. They are both practical and ornamental. My sister-in-law wants to buy a few pots to plant at home." "That's OK." Xu Yin responded. , "I will provide the seeds, and you will provide the land. When the time comes, the benefits will be seven to you and three to me."
"Haha! If there is any profit, we can split it half and half. Don't let me have any affair with you."
The two happily reached this agreement.
After returning home, Xu Yin sorted out a few packets of spice seeds that could grow well without careful care.
Sister Ru said that the open space is about three and a half acres. Because it is open air, there is not enough manpower this spring, so nothing can be planted for the time being.
Three and a half acres of flower fields can grow a lot of spices.
Fortunately, Xu Yin has many types of spice seeds on hand, such as perilla, mint, basil, stevia, patchouli, rosemary, thyme, and colorful peppers... which are easy to take care of, beautify the environment, and are all on the dining table. Use available natural ingredients.
In order to increase the survival rate, Xu Yin specially soaked the seeds with spiritual mist for a few days before sending them to Jiang Yunru's flower shop. She has cars going to and from the planting base every day, so she just needs to take them there and let the master sow them.
These spices grow in the wild just like weeds and wild vegetables, with extremely strong vitality. They have been soaked by Xu Yin with spiritual mist in advance. After sowing the seeds and watering them, they can grow well on their own with almost no need to take care of them.
Unlike delicate flowers, they can't be tolerated by high temperatures, low temperatures, strong winds or heavy rains, or even without rain. They also need to be protected from pests from time to time.
Spice crops don’t have these problems. They have a natural smell, which is different from the smell of flowers. They are not liked by insects and are less likely to attract pests.
Of course, if there are insect eggs in the ground, the spices will be easily infected, so Xu Yin would take Jiang Yunru’s car there regularly to take a look.
Every time I go there, I spray them with a natural insect repellent from the system mall. It has no pollution to the ecology but has a very good repellent effect.
Treat the pests if they are there, prevent diseases and keep the body healthy if there are no pests. After that, spray some nutrient solution of Lingwudui, so that the three and a half acres of spice land, even if there is no master to take care of it, is still full of vitality and growth.
The masters at the planting base saw that every time she came, she would carry a watering can wider than her shoulders and spray water on the spices. They did nothing else. They only thought that the good growth of these spices was due to their own vitality. It is indeed incomparable to the delicate flowers in the greenhouse.
Xu Yin also wanted to spray some "nutrient solution" on the flowers, but the masters refused, saying that this was their job and there was no reason to let customers do such things.
Then she would be too embarrassed to force her way into the greenhouse to water the flowers.
After the new semester started, she came less frequently.
The coursework in her junior year is still very stressful, not to mention that she has to take professional courses in two majors and complete two assignments on weekends, so there is really not much time left.
I was so busy until the National Day that I had time to go to the outskirts of Beijing to look at spices.
Several spices have reached maturity.
Jiang Yunru asked her what her plans were. If she really didn't think about it, she put them in pots and brought them to her shop. During the holidays, the flower shop's business was good, and there were more and more customers who liked spices, so they could still sell.
Xu Yin saw that the spices were in good quality, so she kept some for seeds, and the rest was 50-50 with Jiang Yunru.
Jiang Yunru’s portion was to be potted and sold in a flower shop, while her portion was to be dried and replenished by Xu’s father.
