Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 179 Bai Suqin and Cheng Jin 4
I bought [-] lotus seeds for three taels of silver, but the seller said that there was no guarantee that every lotus seed could be fed. Whether it could grow into a lotus depends on whether the person who raises the lotus can control every step. 
The shell of the lotus seeds is hard and dense. Before soaking the seeds, an artificial breach must be made. The end with a small pit is ground on a rough stone, and then the lotus seeds are slowly cultivated in warm water. At this time, they need to be placed indoors. Change the water twice a day and germination should start within a week.

After germination, put it in a sunny place, strengthen the light, and water is indispensable. After 2 weeks, fine roots and 2-3 young lotus leaves will grow. When the leaves are like money and the root system is formed, the load can be shared.

At this time, it is necessary to choose a flower pot without a bottom hole, add half a pot of pastoral soil or river pond mud without chemical pollution to the pot, add water to soak two weeks in advance, and press the fine roots of the lotus seedlings into the mud when transplanting. For one plant, add appropriate amount of water after transplanting, so that the water does not submerge the small lotus leaves.

When they grow to a suitable size, they can be transplanted into the pond.

Busy, day after day, Cheng Huan came back from the town in the morning and came to the pond to see the progress. Just as he was about to walk to the river, Li Feng'er walked over from the village.

"Cheng Huan, come here!" Li Feng'er called Cheng Huan, and Cheng Huan turned around and walked over, "Sister Feng, why are you here?! Do you need me?"

"My father is looking for you. I'll go home to see if your house is empty, so I'll come and have a look!" Li Feng'er smiled and looked at Cheng Huan affectionately.

"My mother, they went to pull weeds in the field! What does the village chief want from me?!" Cheng Huan asked suspiciously.

Li Feng'er shook her head: "I don't know either, just go to my house and ask!"

"Okay!" Cheng Huan agreed, and Li Feng'er said shyly, "How is your brother doing in the town? He has studied well. I don't know if he will be in our village in the future."

"I don't know!" Cheng Huan agreed casually, and dragged Li Feng'er to her house, "Let's go, let's see what your father wants from me!"

Li Feng'er was also embarrassed to ask more about Cheng He, so she nodded in agreement and followed Cheng Huan to her home.

After entering the door, Li Feng'er happily brought Cheng Huan fruit to eat. When Li Jing saw Cheng Huan, he immediately said: "I see that your pond is very impressive, it's very good!"

"Thanks to the village chief for giving me this opportunity!" Cheng Huan also said politely, Li Jing sighed, pointed to the kang and asked Cheng Huan to sit down.

Cheng Huan sat down and asked, "What's wrong with you, village chief?!"

"It's not about your third uncle!" Li Jing shook his head, glanced at Cheng Huan, and said, "Your family also knows that the relative of the Bai family is also a village head, and there are still people in the town. I was shocked, I went to the town yesterday, and the county lord told me to deal with this matter properly, and the relationship between the two villages is not good!"

"So that's what happened!" Cheng Huan looked suddenly enlightened, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. How could she do it? It's even more impossible for her to pay the money.

"Go back and talk to your parents and let her persuade the old lady!" Li Jing said in a good voice.

Cheng Huan nodded, and Li Jing let her leave. After returning home, Cheng Huan told Cheng Qian and Xu Ruyun everything about going to the village chief's house.

Xu Ruyun was chopping the vegetables and almost cut her hand, she felt flustered and stopped what she was doing.

Cheng Qian said: "Huan'er, you don't know how much money your third uncle owes this time!"

"How much?!" Cheng Huan asked, and Cheng Jia beside him also put down his work and looked at Cheng Qian.
