Chapter 1447 Digging Lotus
Manbao and Mingda were led here by Koko. As Manbao dug, he no longer cared where he was and just walked in the direction scanned by Koko.
Although Mingda noticed it, she often went to the front hall to play with the emperor. When she was younger, she even went to the court to urinate, but she didn't remember it. It was her mother who told her.
The palace maid following behind wanted to say something but hesitated, but seeing that the princess was having fun, she hesitated and did not step forward.
Hand in hand, they followed Koko's instructions and arrived in front of a temple gate. Manbao stared at the stone vats on either side in a daze, "How come there are lotus flowers in the spring?"
Mingda, who was well-informed, smiled and said, "This was grown by a gardener a few years ago. Look at this lotus flower. It's small and delicate, with slightly pointed petals. Doesn't it look like the lotus seat under the Bodhisattva?"
Manbao thought about it and nodded, "It really looks like it."
Mingda smiled and said, "My father is a Buddhist, so when the gardener grew this flower, he was very happy. He specially had several stone vats placed in the Taiji Hall. When the servants saw this, they worked hard on it. In less than three years, they were able to make this flower bloom three times a year. Except in winter, it blooms as soon as the weather warms up in spring and continues until the weather turns cold in late autumn."
Koko added in Manbao's mind, "This lotus's genes have never been included, so it can be included. The reward points are very generous."
Manbao looked down at the lotus in the stone vat, reached out and touched its petals, and said to Keke thoughtfully, "The reason you think its reward points will be so generous is because, although its genes have been altered, this change is hereditary and will be very long-lasting?"
Koko didn't answer.
Manbao confirmed her thoughts, and she vaguely knew the problems in their world.
The flower farmer in the mall sold her a lot of flowers. It seemed that he could grow all kinds of flowers. As long as she asked, he could even make peonies and chrysanthemums grow on the same plant.
Even regardless of the season, there are always the flowers she needs.
Actually, if you think about it, this is pretty scary.
If a wheat ear grows from a fork in a rice grain, both can grow regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter...
Manbao shuddered.
But no matter how beautiful these things are when they grow, they cannot be preserved for seed. If you use the seeds they grafted to plant again, you don’t know what will grow, or even nothing will grow...
The four seasons have their own seasons, and all things have their own spirits. If humans control all things in this way, I am afraid that all things will retaliate against humans.
Manbao's gaze fell into the void, his mind full of thoughts, but he did not speak again to Koko for confirmation.
She knew that Koko was not free. Ever since it accidentally revealed the word "gene" last time and disappeared for a while, there were some things that not only it could not say, but even she, the host, was afraid that she could not ask.
otherwise……
Manbao swallowed.
Manbao regained consciousness and saw Mingda waving in front of her. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Manbao blinked, and Mingda said, "You were staring blankly ahead. I called you several times but you didn't respond."
Manbao said embarrassedly: "I think I was lost in thought."
When she lowered her head, she found that she had accidentally plucked several lotus petals, and the originally beautiful lotus was broken by her.
She looked at Mingda embarrassedly.
The palace maids behind were trembling with fear, because His Majesty really liked this lotus.
Mingda didn't care. Seeing that the lotus had become ugly, he simply pinched it.
Manbao didn't care much about it, after all, it was just a flower, but she thought the fragrance of the flower was very nice and she was reluctant to throw it away, so she simply took it and played with it in her hand.
She looked at the lotus that was growing well and asked, "Since Your Majesty likes it so much, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to dig it up?"
The lotus needs to be dug out of its rhizomes before it can be collected, otherwise collecting the branches and leaves is useless.
Mingda asked, "Will it die if I dig up the rhizome?"
"No," Manbao said, "I'll be careful and just break off a piece, and let the rest continue to grow."
Mingda smiled and said, "That's okay, go ahead and dig."
Mingda rolled up her sleeves and wanted to dig it herself, but as soon as she rolled up her sleeves, the palace maid came up immediately. Manbao had already stretched out his hand to block her, "The water is cold, don't touch it."
After saying that, he handed the flowers to her. She looked around and saw a couch and a stool under the open pavilion not far away. She ran over and brought two stools.
Just pile them together, then stand on them, roll up your sleeves and reach into the stone jar to dig tubers.
The emperor, who had just listened to two fierce quarrels in the study and felt a little headache, decided to go out for a walk and took the people who were arguing in the study out for a walk to relax. As a result, when he turned to the side hall, he saw his little darling and Zhou Man standing in front of a stone vat.
Zhou Man was almost half buried in the stone jar, and was rolling up his sleeves to feel something in the jar.
Mingda stood aside and asked, "How is it, did you touch it?"
Manbao said, "I touched it, but it's too tight. I have to go slowly to avoid hurting it."
She laughed and said, "You know what, this mud is really nice to touch, but the water is too cold."
Just as the emperor was hesitating whether to call them out, Zhou Man pulled his hand out and said happily, "I dug it out."
She raised her little hand, holding a black object with a lotus attached to it.
emperor:……
Ministers: ...
The palace maid standing five steps behind Mingda and the others had been keeping her head down, only daring to look at Mingda's toes. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong, raised her head slightly, and saw a group of people standing in the corridor on the left. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground.
The emperor glanced at them indifferently, and Gu Zhong immediately signaled them to be silent.
The kneeling palace maids dared not make a sound.
Mingda didn't notice the movement behind him as he was helping Manbao carefully tear apart the tangled lotus flowers.
Manbao broke the black thing hard and split it into two parts in front of the emperor and his ministers, one big and one small.
Unfortunately, the small piece was connected to a lotus. Manbao gave the broken tuber to Mingda and buried the tuber, which was only the size of two thumbs, directly into the stone jar.
She thought about it and felt that this might be a bit difficult. It would not be good to make the gardener's job difficult because of her. So she talked to Koko and took out a small bag of plant soaking liquid that Dr. D gave her last time from the system space and buried it directly next to the stem.
This thing was given to her by Dr. D when she traded a plant called lily of the valley with him last year.
In addition to the one included, she also dug up two plants. She posted one of the relatively strong ones on the forum and it was photographed by Dr. D. She also raised the other one herself, but the roots of that plant were damaged after being dug up and it was difficult to survive.
After Dr. D found out, he gave her a box of plant infusion solution. This thing is not sold in shopping malls, but it is very common in biological research laboratories and is not expensive.
Most of this thing is white and a small part is green. It is sealed in a transparent film that dissolves when it comes into contact with water, leaving no trace at all.
So Manbao buried this thing next to the lotus rhizome with great confidence.
See you at 4 p.m.
