11 (Minor repair)
Wang Hongnian was wearing a white vest, his skin was tanned red in the sun. He wiped the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes with the back of his hand, and together with several workers, he transplanted a 6-meter-tall camphor tree into the botanical garden.
The soil lump at the root of the tree is very large, and the depth of the tree pit is more than 80 centimeters. There are dozens of kilograms of organic soil next to it, which will be filled in inch by inch when the time comes.
After finishing, even a few strong young men could not hold on any longer. Sweat streamed down their necks and they sat down tiredly under the shade of the trees to rest.
"Brother Wang, is this a newly opened park or something? I don't think I've heard of it before." One of the guys wiped the sweat off his forehead, panted, and started chatting.
"I haven't been here either, but I have been to the forest park next to it a few times."
Another young man looked around. The trees were lush and green, with branches neatly trimmed. In the distance was a wide artificial lake with a water promenade and pavilion. He could faintly smell a fresh lotus fragrance. The environment was quite nice.
Just looking at the trees introduced this time, it can be seen that a lot of money was invested.
"A new government plan?"
"No, it's a private botanical garden." Wang Hongnian unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank half of it. Only then did he feel his throat was less dry.
"Private?" The young man was surprised, and then said speechlessly: "Which big boss would be so desperate as to build a botanical garden? The initial investment must be huge, can it make money?"
There are many scenic spots in W City. In addition to the national 3A/4A scenic spots, there are also many free parks.
Usually after dinner, you can just go to the park to take a walk with your family and look at the lotus flowers. There is no need to come to such a place alone, not to mention that the location here is very remote.
Besides, the economy is in recession now and fewer people are traveling.
In his opinion, it was just a waste of money.
Wang Hongnian is not a talkative person, and he doesn't like others saying bad things about the botanical garden. He frowned and was about to say "I don't know" when he saw Ye Han walking towards him.
He sat up hurriedly, brushed off the dirt on his clothes, and said stiffly, "Director."
Several young men nearby followed his gaze and opened their mouths wide. This, this young and beautiful girl is the headmaster? ?
Therefore, this botanical garden in front of her is hers——
OMG.
One by one, they sat up from the ground, looked at the dirt and sweat on their bodies, wiped them hurriedly, and looked embarrassed.
"I brought some drinks and ordered lunch boxes. The weather is too hot, so everyone should take precautions against heat stroke."
Ye Han put the things down, thinking of what he just heard, his almond eyes slightly curved: "During the time I took over, the investment is indeed quite large, but I am confident that I can turn it into a unique botanical garden in W City.
You can come and have a look after the park opens, and you will get free tickets."
“…Okay.”
The young man who had been boasting just now was now like a parrot with its beak sawed off. He lowered his head with a red face, humming and unable to speak. The bronze muscle lines formed a clear arc in his vest, and he only breathed a sigh of relief after the other party left.
He really didn't expect that the owner of the botanical garden would be such a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament. She looked to be in her early 20s at most, which was too young.
Although young, he could feel the firmness and confidence in the other person's tone.
That’s really amazing, much better than those coolies.
And they are not arrogant. They treat manual laborers like them very well.
Just for this reason, we have to do a good job.
The young men each drank a bottle of mineral water, and felt refreshed and full of energy, so they continued digging holes and planting.
The trees transported from the nursery base were planted one by one in the botanical garden according to the plan. Even though great care was taken during the transplanting process, it still took a long time for the trees to adapt to the sudden change of environment.
But these big trees that were watered with plant nutrient solution apparently adapted very quickly. They recovered within two days, and their branches and leaves were even greener than before, and they grew better than when they were in the nursery.
While the workers were busy planting trees, Ye Han got the water lily seeds and tubers for division propagation.
She selected rhizomes with full new buds, with at least one bud on each root segment. After processing, she buried them in nutrient-rich pond soil with the top bud facing upwards, sprayed nutrient solution on the surface, and then gradually deepened the water level. ①
Water lily seeds should be soaked in water mixed with nutrient solution, maintaining the water temperature at 20-30℃ and changing the water every day. They can be transplanted after growing fine roots and 2-3 tender small lotus leaves.
More than 500 koi have been released into the artificial lake, with red, yellow, white and other colors, and their scales seem to glow under the sun. They swing their tails and shuttle among the green lotus leaves, creating a lively scene.
Thousands of fish fry were thrown into the lake at the same time. Their colors could not be clearly seen because they were too small, but they were very lively. They gathered together in groups and swam as light as feathers.
They grow fast in the beginning, and after a few months of feeding you will be able to see beautiful little koi.
After the new organisms were added, the water purifier immediately analyzed and adjusted the lake water environment to provide the most comfortable living environment for the koi. Looking at the way they swim freely in the water, you can tell that they like this new environment very much.
Ye Han checks their physical condition through model data every day and feeds them. He also sprays nutrient solution on the carefully selected plants every morning and evening, especially the lotus flowers that are the focus of attention.
Under her careful cultivation, 'Little Dancing Princess' No. 11 and 'Snow White Princess' No. 2 finally reached A-level one morning.
They bloom from buds to petals, each petal is as clear as jade and full in shape.
The former is white with a hint of pink, with a delicate color on the tip of the petals; the latter is pure white and flawless; one is single petal and the other is double petal, but each has its own unique beauty, with an intoxicating lotus fragrance.
The system quickly collected all aspects of the data, extracted samples and genes from the corresponding parts, and uploaded them to the Galaxy database.
The collection process on Ye Han’s data also changed from 0 to 2‰.
Two thousandths?
Ye Han looked at the number and fell silent.
Indeed, there is still a long way to go.
*
After Ye Han placed more than a hundred selected pots of succulents, cacti, and other potted plants into the bonsai area, and performed a series of operations on the former such as root pruning, repotting, and changing soil, he finally heard the system prompt sound that the task was completed.
[Congratulations to the host for completing Advanced Task 1: Introduce no less than 30 species and 200 plants within two weeks, and create two special landscape areas. Time: 9 days and 16 hours.
Get the task reward: Hear the plants speak 'Golden Finger'. Please check the task panel to receive the reward. 】
I finally got the golden finger I had been longing for.
Ye Han placed the succulent in his hand aside and turned on the light screen impatiently.
This is a feature she is very much looking forward to, but she wonders how it will be presented.
After clicking to receive, Ye Han received...a pair of pure white earplugs.
It looks beautiful on the outside, and there seem to be invisible ripples flowing on the surface, surrounding it layer by layer, like a fine work of art.
Pinch it with your hands and it feels soft and elastic.
Very similar to the sleeping earplugs she usually uses.
Is this the golden finger that can hear plants talking?
Ye Han placed it in his palm and observed it carefully for a long time, then clicked on the product introduction.
Product Name: Plant Sonic Sensor
Product function: Collect the sound waves and energy emitted by plants, convert them into human language through decoding, and connect perception.
Patent: Galaxy B4100 Research Laboratory, patent number XXXXXXX.
Instructions for use: Gaze (Observer state).
When the sensor is on, stare intently at a plant for more than 3 seconds to hear its sound.
gaze......
Ye Han read the product introduction carefully and thought to himself: It’s really amazing.
She inserted the pure white earplug into her right ear. Its high elasticity fit the auricle perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her, and there was no discomfort at all.
After turning it on, Ye Han used the golden finger on the succulent pot that was closest to him.
Taodan: "The spray just now was so comfortable, mom, I want more QAQ"
Soon, a cute little baby voice came from the earphones, soft and sweet, so cute that it made people's hearts melt.
It’s just—Mom?
Ye Han was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the plump succulent in his hand, feeling very subtle inside.
She just picked it up from a succulent shop yesterday, and today she calls her mom.
So, is this the legendary "whoever gives milk is the mother"?
Ye Han looked at it again. He didn’t know why, but he felt that this succulent plant became cuter the more he looked at it. Its leaves were pink and its voice was also very cute.
Her almond-shaped eyes curved unconsciously, and her heart softened.
'...It's not that you can't spray more nutrient solution, the mist is easy to absorb anyway.'
Thinking of this, Ye Han picked up the spray bottle with the remaining nutrient solution and gently sprayed it twice on the sides of the peach egg. Watching the fine water mist being absorbed and the leaves becoming plump and pink, her gaze became softer and a smile graced her lips. She then used the golden finger on the second pot of succulent.
Chihuahua: "Woo woo, mommy is partial! Woo woo woo woo, I want one too, I want one too!"
This time it was the clear voice of a little boy, who was complaining pitifully and wished he could roll on the ground.
Ye Han: “......?”
Mom again?
Her eyes swept across the shelves filled with succulent potted plants, one pot after another, big and small, in various colors, it looked like a small succulent kingdom.
Very cute, but -
Thinking of a certain possibility, the smile on Ye Han's lips gradually disappeared, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
!
In order to avoid more than 100 "children" suddenly appearing in one day, she quickly stood up and walked out of the bonsai garden with the wind on her feet.
After leaving, Ye Han raised his hand and touched the slightly cool earplugs. Thinking of the sound he had just heard, he still felt it was very strange.
At the same time, I developed a special sense of responsibility for these plants.
The weather gradually became cloudy and gloomy, and it seemed like it was going to rain soon.
Ye Han walked along the promenade in the lake, feeling the moist breeze and the fragrance of lotus. The stuffy feeling of impending storm suddenly dissipated a lot.
When passing by the blooming lotus pond, she naturally recognized the two carefully cultivated lotus flowers, so she stopped and used "Gaze".
Snow White: "Hmph, is the single petal next to you as beautiful as me? Water mirror, water mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful lotus in the world?"
Little Wu Fei: "I am the most beautiful, of course I am the most beautiful! Why don't you use the lake water to look at yourself in the mirror, bah."
Ye Han: “…”
She stood by the railing, looking at the two A-level lotus flowers that were "untainted by the mud, and pure and elegant", with a noble and ethereal posture, and then thought of their words -
Ye Han casually tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and thought absentmindedly. This seemed different from what she had imagined.
However, it is quite unique.
Looking at the graceful lotus flowers emerging from the water and their clear white petals, Ye Han did not realize that he had unknowingly formed a thick filter for these plants.
*
Crossing the artificial lake, Ye Han focused his attention on the transplanted trees on both sides of the road.
They have just entered the botanical garden from the nursery base, and we don't know how well they have adapted to the environment. This is a good opportunity to test them with the golden finger.
So she came to the white magnolia on the edge of the road and looked up slightly to check it.
This magnolia tree is very lush, more than 4 meters tall, with a huge crown and luxuriant branches and leaves. After the flowering period, it produces many fruits. The red cones hang on the branches, and some are almost ripe.
Looks in good shape.
Ye Han was the first to use the golden finger on it.
Bai Yulan: "Oh, there's a bug 100 meters away from me, hurry up and go away——"
After staring for 3 seconds, I heard a delicate little girl's voice with a hint of crying, as if she was trembling with fear because of the insects.
Ye Han: “….”
A bug 100 meters away?
She lowered her eyes to look at the ground, then measured the distance into the distance. It was 100 meters, but she didn't know where she was going. It was not within the range of the tree canopy at all.
Do bugs 100 meters away really affect you?
While she was thinking, perhaps because her eyes were still on the tree trunk, she heard the whimpering loli voice again.
Bai Yulan: "There's a bug 100 meters away. I'm so scared. Can you help me get rid of it?"
Ye Han: "...Okay."
She looked at the tall deciduous trees in front of her, sighed inwardly, and resigned herself to looking for bugs.
100 meters, about 130 steps, the direction is uncertain, but the range can be roughly locked.
Ye Han searched for more than half an hour before he found a large moth near the grass and immediately drove it away.
Bai Yulan was obviously relieved, "Chong Chong is gone, thank you. I'll give you the freshly harvested fruit."
As he said this, he shook the leaves happily, and then shook them hard, finally shaking off a few fruits that had ripened prematurely.
Ye Han picked up two bunches of red aggregate fruits. Their surface was bumpy, as if many lychees were stuck together in a mess. The shape was very deformed, which was completely different from the big and beautiful flowers of the white magnolia.
Ye Han smiled: "...It looks very good, thank you."
Magnolia shyly shook her leaves: "As long as you like it."
Ye Han: "Yeah, I like it."
Bai Yulan said happily: "I still have some, I can give them all to you."
Ye Han:......
In fact, you can keep it for yourself.
…
In the following time, Ye Han took a walk around Nanshan Botanical Garden and used the golden finger on many plants along the way.
Each tree has a different personality and speaks in an interesting way, bringing her countless surprises.
Of course, a lot of problems were solved along the way.
For example, I helped the elm tree clean the insect eggs hidden inside the branches and protected its bark to prevent sunburn; I helped the clean-loving jasmine clean its leaves and praised her flowers; I helped the wisteria wrap around the difficult-to-climb rack; and I also helped the Sophora japonica scratch its itch...
After doing all this, Ye Han could clearly feel that the plants were in a much better mood, and the branches and leaves swaying in the wind seemed to be expressing their gratitude.
It also made her feel relaxed and happy.
The last stop is the ancient tree area.
After irrigation, Ye Han stepped on a ladder to spray nutrient solution on the ginkgo trees that were bearing fruit to promote fruit development. He also helped the Podocarpus remove the remaining pine cones from last year and shook off the dry pine needles...then it was the withered peach tree.
After more than 400 years of wind and rain, the surface of its trunk is full of marks of vicissitudes, and the inside is hollow. Even after being watered with nutrient solution for a period of time, the bark is still dry and wrinkled. The broken branches are propped up with difficulty by artificial supports, and half of them are bare, and they are close to death.
The leaves on the other branch are much brighter, and if you ignore everything else, you can indeed feel a bit of vitality returning.
Ye Han stared at it seriously. Three seconds later, an angry voice came from the earphone, with a smell of feudal dregs.
The peach tree: "You idiot, you poured 5 milliliters more water than I used. Are you trying to drown me? Come and loosen the soil for me."
Hearing this voice, Ye Han was stunned for a moment.
She had thought he would be a picky old man, but she hadn't expected him to be so young, even a bit crisp, yet with a domineering arrogance.
Seeing that the other party was indifferent, the peach tree's tone gradually became angry: "You, what are you standing there for? Come here quickly! Don't let me say it a second time, or you will be in trouble, hehe."
Ye Han: “…”
never mind.
Ye Han had no expression on his face: "... Yeah."
So he took the tools and went over to loosen the soil.
Since being watered with nutrient solution, the old and black roots of the peach tree have been promoted to have a 'second spring'. The old roots have fallen off, and new roots have grown out inch by inch, trying to take hold in the wider soil.
But the surrounding soil had not been treated, and was not only hard but also had many stones in it. The "weak and powerless" peach tree could not stretch at all, and it was so angry that it gnashed its teeth.
After Ye Han helped the other person loosen the soil, the scorching sun made her dizzy, so she found a shady place and leaned against the fence to rest.
After his breathing gradually calmed down, Ye Han looked at the peach tree in front of him and heard the arrogant young man's voice again: "Hey... You did a good job. I allow you to serve me exclusively in the future."
There was a hint of shyness in her tone, like a precious cat whose fur had been smoothed.
However, Ye Han looked at the old bark in front of him, shifted his gaze away without leaving a trace, stood up with his eyes lowered, and brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes.
Actually...it's not necessary.
