Chapter 184: Starting a New Action
Lin Xiaoyue felt like she was listening to a riddle. What could this treasure that couldn't be touched be?
At this moment, a sweet smell entered Lin Xiaoyue's nose. She couldn't help swallowing and exclaimed, "Grapes! These are grapes, right?"
Liang Jingyao smiled and untied the silk cloth covering Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, saying, "That's right! You guessed right!"
Lin Xiaoyue peeled a grape and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and refreshing. She could eat a whole bunch of grapes in one breath!
"It's so delicious! I didn't expect you to remember this, Brother Liang. I almost forgot about it! Isn't this basket of grapes bad luck?"
Liang Jingyao peeled another grape and stuffed it into Lin Xiaoyue's mouth, saying, "I'll keep in mind whatever you want to do! This was originally a full basket of grapes, but a lot of them got spoiled along the way, so only half a basket is left here. Is that enough? If not, I'll ask them to bring more!"
Lin Xiaoyue waved her hands and said, "Enough, enough! This is enough for me to try several times! I only need the seeds inside to plant grapes, so everyone can eat the outer flesh and leave the seeds for me!"
Liang Jingyao took out four skewers and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "You, Yunyun, and Jiu Laoguai can share the rest! These are enough for Zhan Tian and the others!"
Lin Xiaoyue was not polite either. After all, grapes were precious and she wanted to eat more too!
"Then I'll go find Yunyun! Remember to leave the grape seeds for me!" She walked into the kitchen with a basket of grapes in her arms and said, "Yunyun, look what goodies I brought?"
Chen Yunyun wiped her hands, walked over and asked, "Hey, what are these round things?"
Lin Xiaoyue peeled one and put it into Chen Yunyun's mouth, saying, "This is a fruit called grapes. We don't produce grapes in Dongsui Country, so we have to ship them in from outside. The journey is long and they are not easy to preserve, so they are very precious. When you eat it, remember to spit out the seeds. I want to save them for seeds."
Chen Yunyun spat out two tiny grape seeds and asked, "Can something this small be grown?"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "It should be possible, but it's winter now, so it's not easy for them to survive. If you want to plant them, you have to find another way. I'll try to see if I can get them to sprout first. Let's not talk about this for now. It's still too early to grow grapes. Let's wash some and eat them together with Dad!"
Chen Yunyun nodded, picked the round grapes, washed a large bowl of them, and walked towards the west wing with Lin Xiaoyue.
In the west wing, the old wine monster saw Chen Yunyun and Lin Xiaoyue walk in, each holding a bowl of grapes, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get so many grapes?"
Lin Xiaoyue explained with a smile: "This was bought by Brother Liang because I want to use the seeds inside to grow grapes."
The old wine freak couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Of course, this isn't just about spending money. Jingyao is so attentive to you, and I'm happy for you! Don't worry even if you can't grow grapes, Jingyao won't care, haha!"
Lin Xiaoyue curled her lips and said confidently, "Dad, I can't say I can succeed in one go, but with so many grape seeds, I can definitely grow one, right? As long as one survives, we can make money from this market in the future! I heard from Brother Liang that this stuff is very expensive!"
The drunkard knew that Lin Xiaoyue was a strong-willed person, but he could only cure diseases and save lives, and he really couldn't grow anything!
Yesterday, he had no choice but to say encouragingly, "Okay, Dad supports you! But don't put too much pressure on yourself! Things are in our hands, but sometimes we also have to see if God will help you."
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and thought, if God had allowed her to travel through time, he wouldn't have helped her, right? Otherwise, what would God want?
She nodded and said, "I know. Spit the seeds into this bowl!"
The old drunkard smiled and said, "Girl, don't dwell on these things all the time. You must pay close attention to the medical books I asked you to memorize! I'm counting on passing on all my skills to you!"
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment. Ever since she moved into the teahouse, she hadn't touched her medical books. They were still hidden in the bottom of the box! She had really forgotten about them!
She nodded guiltily and said, "I know. I will definitely take Dad's instructions to heart."
The old drunkard looked at Lin Xiaoyue suspiciously, but he couldn't bear to continue complaining about her. After eating a handful of grapes, he waved his hand and said, "A few of these grapes are fine, but if I eat too much, my teeth will ache! No, these few should be enough to make seeds. You can try them first!"
Lin Xiaoyue took the grape seeds handed to her by Jiu Laoguai and Chen Yunyun. There were 20 or 30 of them in total. She stood up and said, "Dad, you take a good rest. I'll go to the kitchen to wash these grape seeds."
Chen Yunyun was curious and followed Lin Xiaoyue out.
Back in the kitchen, Liang Jingyao also took a handful of seeds and gave them to Lin Xiaoyue, "Yue'er, the grape seeds are here. What should we do now?"
Lin Xiaoyue filled a basin with water, poured all the collected grape seeds into it, washed them clean, and then threw away the grape seeds floating on the surface, leaving those that sank to the bottom of the basin.
Next, she found a clean towel and placed the grape seeds on it to wait for them to dry.
"Okay, we can't put it in the soil until tomorrow. I'm going to make some boxes for growing sprouts first."
Liang Jingyao asked curiously, "What kind do you want? Tell me and I'll make it!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought it was okay. Liang Jingyao could build a house as big as a bamboo courtyard, so what was a small bud-growing box?
She nodded and said, "I can't explain it clearly at the moment. I'll go to the study and draw a picture for you."
So Liang Jingyao followed Lin Xiaoyue back to the study. He ground the ink while waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to draw.
Lin Xiaoyue went over the idea in her mind first, then drew a box with an opening on the top and several holes on the bottom, and then drew a slightly larger box underneath.
She paused and explained, "Brother Liang, here's what I was thinking. I wanted the top box to rest right on top of the bottom box, so the water in the bottom box can be absorbed by the soil in the top box. These holes are for the soil to absorb the water."
Liang Jingyao understood now and said with a smile: "It's not difficult. I'll find some wood to make it. Do you have any other requirements?"
Lin Xiaoyue was thinking about something that could keep her warm, but she had to go out and find it herself. She shook her head and said, "I don't have any for now, so I'll have to trouble Brother Liang. Yunyun, I'm free today, how about we go for a walk?"
Chen Yunyun thought Lin Xiaoyue seemed to be having some problems, but she couldn't guess what it was. She decided to follow her out to see what was going on. "Okay, okay!"
Liang Jingyao stopped Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Yue'er, I'll let Zhan Tian go with you. Be careful outside!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I see. Thank you, Brother Liang!"
