After recovering from her shock, Madam Qian immediately followed behind Su Dahu, her face beaming with smiles. "Brother, I like this light red satin the most. I'll choose this one first. The light blue one would be good for making clothes for my husband, and the pale yellow one would be good for making a skirt for Chunhua."
"Wait!" Su Bai slapped away the hand that was about to reach the cloud-patterned satin. "Each of you in your small family will receive one bolt of this cloud-patterned satin. Keep the rest here for now."
It was understandable that such a valuable gift was given on the day she was saved, but now, even on a simple visit, she is given such a heavy gift. This is because Hua'er is well-liked by others. In short, all of these things belong to Hua'er.
If Hua'er hadn't said one horse per person, she would have definitely kept them all for Hua'er.
One bolt of cloth can make two sets of clothes. The fine cotton cloth that was previously distributed among several people has not yet been used up. There is no need to waste such good satin. Moreover, Hua'er's business is not easy. Who knows what might happen? If that day really comes, these good materials can at least be worth a little.
Hua'er is young and can't think things through so thoroughly, so her mother has to make more plans for her.
Qian's wrist was red from the beating, and she raised her voice, "Mother, didn't Hua'er just say that each person would get one bolt of cloth?"
"Fine, if you don't want to, then don't take any more." Su Bai's slanted eyes narrowed, and she immediately waved her hand at Su Dahu. "Dahu, put all these fabrics in the main room..."
"No, I want it! I want it!" Madam Qian hurriedly exclaimed, forcing a smile. "I want it! One, I want just one..."
After saying that, he stared intently at the water-red cloud-like fabric.
Madam Su was too lazy to interfere in the affairs between the couple. Anyway, Hua'er didn't like wearing the light red dress, so it didn't matter if she gave it to her. "Take the satin and hurry up and wash the pig offal. If you don't do it properly, I can take it back even if it's made into clothes."
"Yes, Mother, don't worry. Your daughter-in-law is always the most meticulous." Madam Qian hugged the light red silk satin and her face immediately lit up with a smile. She had come to terms with it. Her mother-in-law was no bigger than her sister-in-law, so giving her a piece of silk satin was already a bargain.
Besides, there are four people in my sister-in-law's family, and they only have one horse, so thinking about it that way, it's not too bad.
However, cleaning four sets of pig offal was too difficult. She was washing them all by herself, and her hands ached before she could finish. After putting the silk satin in the west room, she beckoned to the little maid in the corner, "Chunhua, come here and help your mother carry these offal to the river..."
Su Hua shook her head, ignoring what happened next, and picked up a machete to walk towards the vegetable garden.
In the morning, after much deliberation, the three Su brothers decided to plant the apple in the very center of the vegetable garden in the front yard. In the past twenty days, the vegetable garden, which had been wilted and looked like a giant bald head, had undergone a complete transformation.
The cabbage seedlings, bok choy, green beans, scallions, ginger, and garlic that were planted at the beginning are now growing lushly in a large area. The seeds of peppers, spinach, cucumbers, peas, edamame, lettuce, and other vegetables that were sown later have also taken root and sprouted. As soon as you walk into the vegetable garden, you can smell a very pleasant aroma of grass and trees.
Therefore, they all agreed that this vegetable garden was far more fertile than the other open spaces in the yard.
To prevent Big White and Little Black from causing trouble, the three brothers went to the back mountain to cut down a lot of thorny vines and surround the foot of the crabapple tree.
Su Hua took a close look at the apple tree, picked up her machete, and cut off a branch about the length of her arm.
First, remove all the apple leaves from the branch, then use a knife to cut the cut end at an angle.
Immediately, he took out a bamboo jar of willow tree solution from his sleeve, or rather, from his spatial storage. He then placed the treated crabapple branches into the solution, ensuring that the solution completely submerged the cut. This would result in the fastest rooting speed and prevent the cut from rotting.
This cutting propagation technique was a compulsory course for her when she was studying medicine in China. Her school had its own medicinal plant base, but the growth of a medicinal plant is not fast, especially for old and precious medicinal plants. In this case, the cutting propagation of medicinal plants is used.
Normally, the rooting powder for these cuttings is made from dissolved aspirin.
Because it's the fastest and most convenient.
However, since aspirin was not available in the Yu Dynasty, she could only use willow tree solution, which is actually from the same source as aspirin. The scientific name of aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, and its invention originated from willow branches.
Making willow solution is very simple. Just cut some tender, soft willow branches into lengths about the size of your middle finger, soak them in hot water overnight, and the root-promoting hormones in the willow branches will dissolve into the water.
The scientific explanation for the saying "unintentional planting of willows can lead to a shady grove" is that willow branches contain hormones that promote root growth.
The willow syrup in this bamboo jar was the same one she used when propagating Chunlan and Loushanhong through cuttings.
Of course, because of the preciousness of Lou Shan Hong, she had first soaked the Lou Shan Hong cuttings in spatial water droplets. However, she would learn the cutting technique from the Qin family later, so she did not use spatial water droplets when she was cutting the apple branches. Instead, she used willow tree solution directly, which took a little longer, but it was not a big deal.
Su Hua glanced at the apple branches soaking in the willow solution, her eyes darting around before she deftly chopped off three more branches.
Since the Qin family intends to make money from apples, she can also take advantage of this opportunity.
If you're careful, you might actually be able to carry money in a burlap sack.
She sat on a small wooden stool, pruning branches while thinking about the apples, when suddenly the world around her went dark.
Looking up, a finely sculpted face suddenly loomed large before my eyes.
"Ah!!!" Startled, Su Hua almost reflexively fell backward.
The small wooden stool couldn't withstand the weight and collapsed into the vegetable garden with a thud.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Hua simply closed her eyes, knowing that there was no point in struggling since she was so close to the ground.
It can only fall to the ground upside down.
However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt a large hand wrap around her lower back, and the sound of wind blew past her ears. When she opened her eyes again, the man's chiseled features were only a fist's distance away.
He was backlit, his cold, hard face shrouded in darkness.
Mysterious, and with a touch of allure.
She was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
She pushed the man away, saying, "You scared me, that's why I fell. I won't thank you."
Xiao Jinhan's hand was empty, his fingertips still seemed to retain a little warmth. His deep gaze fell on the girl's cheek, and he said in a low voice, "Between us, there is no need for thanks."
