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 her own. Planted.
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", which must not be cheap.
Yes, 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.
"Do 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 truthfully.
She was inspired by Professor He.
Professor He said that the biggest reason why her design draft was favored by his friend was that her design concept was very innovative.
Different from the flower area that other students interspersed in the design drawings, the green plants she marked were all spices, and they conformed to the rhythm of the four seasons and followed the planting rules, which made the other person's eyes light up...
The other party also asked Professor He: "Do you have any recommendations for good varieties of spice plants?"
Professor He has not studied spices, but Xu Yin has.
She suddenly had an idea: If she had a piece of land dedicated to cultivating spice plants suitable for the courtyard setting, and arranged the spice planting area in a pattern similar to that of 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 waterside 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 freely. More spice plants.
Wouldn't this be open to 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, so it hit her again.
Xu Yin: "..."
Does this mean it must be a courtyard for living?
OK! 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 it, I can evenly distribute it to you!" Jiang Yunru pointed to the land past the rose garden. "There are not enough people this year, so there is nothing planted there yet. You should go ahead and plant it."
Xu Yin囧: If the system had not reminded her, she would probably be happy to rent the plant, but now...
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 in front 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 okay." Xu Yin responded, "I will provide the seeds, and you will provide the land. When the time comes, you will gain seven or three from me."
"Haha! If there is any profit, we can split it half and half. Don't tell me about it."
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.
I heard from Sister Ru that the open space is about three and a half acres. Because it is open air, there is not enough manpower this spring to plant anything.
Three and a half acres of flower fields can grow a lot of spices.
Fortunately, Xu Yin has many kinds of spice seeds on hand, such as perilla, mint, basil, stevia, patchouli, rosemary, thyme, colorful pepper... It is easy to take care of, beautify the environment, and can also be used 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 can just 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 and watering, they can grow well on their own with almost no need to take care of them.
Unlike delicate flowers, they are not suitable for high temperatures, low temperatures, strong winds and heavy rains, or continuous non-raining. They also need to be protected from pests from time to time.
Spices crops don’t have these problems. They have a natural smell, which is different from the fragrance 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 purchased from the system mall. It does not pollute the environment but has a very good insect repellent effect.
If there are pests, treat them. If there are no pests, prevent diseases and keep healthy. 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 growing vigorously.
The masters at the planting base saw that every time she came, she would carry a watering bottle wider than her shoulders and spray water on the spices. They did nothing else and 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 busy until the National Day before I had time to go to the suburbs of Beijing to look at spices.
Several spices have reached maturity.
Jiang Yunru asked her what she had planned. If she really didn't think about it, she put it in a pot and brought it to her shop. During the holidays, the flower shop's business was good, and there were more and more customers who liked spices, so it could still be sold.
Seeing that the spices were in good quality, Xu Yin kept some for seeds, and the rest were 50-50 with Jiang Yunru.
Jiang Yunru's potted potted plants were taken to a flower shop to sell potted plants, while hers planned to dry them and restock them for Father Xu.
