After coming back from the deep mountain farm, Li Mubai was in a relatively dull state. He seemed to have been thinking about something, and he would glance at Xu Weiguo from time to time.

Regarding Li Mubai's behavior, Xu Weiguo seemed relatively calm.

As the saying goes, an upright person is not afraid of a slanting shadow. His current situation can withstand investigation. After all, when greenhouse technology and remote mountain farms came out, he had already been investigated many times by the Special Warfare Division and other departments.

To be honest, if he really had a problem, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to work in the special provision office long ago.

So Xu Weiguo is not worried. Besides, even if he takes ten thousand steps back, Xu Weiguo will just leave with his wife and daughter!

With Xu Weiguo's current strength, if he wants to leave, no one can stop him!

Strength gives him the confidence!

Li Mubai watched the car parked at the gate of the special donation office, "Weiguo, please go back to work first, I have to go to Shangshu Province!"

Xu Weiguo never asked too much about leadership matters, so he just nodded and got off the car.

Just when Xu Weiguo was about to walk into the unit, Li Mubai suddenly stopped him!

"Weiguo!"

"Li Chu, what's the matter with you?"

"You won't do anything to disgrace the Special Relief Department and the country, right?" Li Mubai asked seriously.

Xu Weiguo shook his head firmly, "Of course not, please trust me, leader!"

"I understand, you go to work well!"

After saying that, Li Mubai drove away.

Xu Weiguo looked at Li Mubai's leaving figure. He could feel that when he nodded firmly, Li Mubai seemed to be relieved and his whole body relaxed a lot!

Haha, I didn’t expect that Li Chu is still a troubled person!

With a smile, Xu Weiguo turned around and walked into the special donation office. When he returned to his office, Xu Weiguo also felt a sense of relief.

Regarding the reception of the leaders, it is finally completed. Although there were some interruptions in the middle, there was nothing wrong at all!

After processing the accumulated documents, Xu Weiguo made himself a cup of tea and started reading the newspaper.

The procurement task of the Special Supply Department is actually very tight, but since the establishment of the mountain farm, fresh vegetables, aquatic products, and fresh fruits can basically be supplied normally, but some special materials are not available every day.

Xu Weiguo is not a workaholic, so at this time, it is most appropriate to relax.

It is already afternoon, and it will be time to get off work in a few hours. At this point, Xu Weiguo is quite satisfied. This is work, this is life. Why bother if you make yourself very tired every day?

!

After finishing a cup of tea and reading a few newspapers, Xu Weiguo looked at the time again and saw danger on his face, because it was almost time to get off work.

Although he is a time traveler and is considered a second-generation person, he is still very happy when he is off work.

But just when Xu Weiguo was packing his things and getting ready to get off work, he found that his office door was opened and someone walked in!

"Brother!"

This person is none other than Xu Weiguo’s god-sister Wu Lan.

"Xiaolan, are you here to pick me up from get off work?"

Xu Weiguo asked with a smile.

Wu Lan looked a little anxious at this moment, "Brother, if you don't help me, I may not be able to get off work today!"

Huh!?

Xu Weiguo frowned when he heard this, "Who dares to stop you, Section Chief Wu, from getting off work? He may die!"

"Brother, I'm serious, I really have something wrong!" Wu Lan.

"Is there something wrong with that special metal mine?" Xu Weiguo asked curiously.

"That problem was solved very neatly according to what you told me!" A smile appeared on Wu Lan's face, and then the smile disappeared again, "Brother, the problem I encountered this time is more serious than that special metal mine.

So angry!"

Even more annoying than special metal mines, Xu Weiguo suddenly became interested!

"You still have half an hour to get off work, so hurry up and tell me!"

"Thank you, brother." Seeing that Xu Weiguo was willing to help, Wu Lan seemed particularly happy, and immediately took out a photo and handed it to Xu Weiguo, "Brother, do you know what this is?"

When Xu Weiguo saw what was in the photo, he was immediately stunned, "Where did you get this photo?"

Draw a flower!

Wu Lan: "This is a task given by colleagues from the Special Warfare Division. They said that we must find information about this flower. However, I searched a lot of information but could not find relevant information. I also asked some experts and professors.

They don’t even know what kind of flower it is!”

"Brother, do you know?"

Xu Weiguo nodded, "This is called Huyanhua!"

"Tiger-faced flower?" Wu Lan thought for a moment in his mind, and after confirming that there was no relevant memory, he hurriedly asked: "Brother, can you be more specific?"

"Huyanhua is a plant of the genus Huyan in the family Melastomataceae. It is a perennial evergreen herb with very short stems, covered with thick red hairs, a short rhizome, slightly lignified; the leaves are basal, membranous, and heart-shaped.

The top is nearly rounded, the edges are serrated, the base is heart-shaped, length and width 20-

30 cm or larger, leaf surface is hairless, leaf back is covered with red hairs; petiole is cylindrical, fleshy, covered with red coarse hairs; scorpion-tailed cymes are axillary, petals are 5, dark red, capsule is funnel-shaped and cup-shaped, in flowering stage

About late November, the fruiting period is from March to May.

Produced in the southwestern part of Guangxi, China. In valleys with an altitude of about 480 meters, in shady and wet places under dense forests, beside streams, rivers or with soil on rocks.

There is only one species of plant in this genus, tiger flower. Tiger flower has large leaves, beautiful leaf shape, strong shade tolerance, small and exquisite flower buds, bright and watery, and can be used as a high-end foliage plant for indoor and courtyard viewing."

"The number is extremely rare!"

In Xu Weiguo's memory, the tiger-faced flower was discovered in Ehuangzhang in the 1970s. It was the first time that this strange flower with large leaves, small flowers, strange flower shapes, and leaves covered with tiger stripes and spots was discovered. It was announced to the world.

later caused a plant

Attention from the physical world. The Chinese botanical community named this flower "Tiger-faced Flower". Later, Tiger-faced Flower was listed as a first-level endangered protected plant by China, and was included in China's "Red Book of Chinese Plants" and is protected by humans around the world.

Wu Lan nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Brother, how are you sure this is Hu Yanhua?"

Xu Weiguo pointed to the photo and said: "Look carefully, this stem is very short, covered with thick red bristles, and has a stubby rhizome, about 6 cm long, slightly lignified. The leaves are basal, membranous, heart-shaped, with a top

Nearly round, heart-shaped at the base, 20-30 cm in length and width or more, with uneven edges

The leaves are gnat-like and finely toothed, with ciliate hairs. The leaf surface is hairless, the veins at the base are flat, the lateral veins and veinlets are slightly raised, the back is densely covered with chaff, the veins are all raised and obvious, and are covered with red villous and puberulent hairs; petiole

Cylindrical, fleshy, 10-17 cm or longer, covered with red coarse bristles and grooved.

Scorpion-tailed cymes are axillary, with a long common peduncle, 24-30 cm long, hairless, blunt tetragonal; the epithelium is very small, falling early; the pedicel is ribbed, with narrow wings on the ribs, somewhat covered with chaff, long

8-10 mm, sometimes segmented; flowers

The calyx is funnel-shaped and cup-shaped, hairless, with 5 ribs, narrow wavy wings on the ribs, truncated apex, very short sepals, triangular semicircular shape, pointed apex, attached to the apex of the wings; petals are dark red, broad

Obovate, 1 side skewed, almost rhombus

Shape, top flat, oblique, with a small pointed tip, about 10 mm long and 6 mm wide; the male core is about 18 mm long, the anthers are about 11 mm long, and a short stalk about 1 mm long extends below the septum.

There are 2 small tumors on the front of the base, and 2 small tumors on the back.

Square and slightly triangular with short spurs, the short one is 12-14 mm long, the anthers are 7-8 mm long, with 2 small warts at the base, and the septum extends downward into short spurs; the ovary is ovate, with a membranous crown at the top, 5 lobes,

The edges of the lobes are ciliate.

Capsule funnel-shaped and cup-shaped, apex truncated, pore-fissured, membranous crown corked, 5-lobed, with irregular denticles on the edge, protruding from the persistent calyx; persistent calyx cup-shaped, with 5 ribs, above the ribs

It has narrow wings, about 1 cm long, and the membranous crown extends about 2 mm. The fruit stalk is 5-ridged, has narrow wings, about 2 cm long, and is hairless. The flowering period is about November, and the fruiting period is from March to May."

"These details match Huyanhua, there is no problem!"

"In addition, Tiger Flower grows in the wild in shady places under dense forests in valleys or in rock crevices in humid forests. It likes high temperatures and humid semi-shady environments, has strong cold tolerance, is not drought-tolerant, and avoids direct sunlight."

Wu Lan listened carefully, and then asked again: "Brother, you know so much about Hu Yanhua, you must know how to cultivate it!"

"Know something!" Xu Weiguo said directly: "Huyan flower can be propagated by methods such as sowing, division, cutting and tissue culture. In terms of sowing, the seeds of tiger flower are small and should be harvested and sown immediately. When sowing, it is best to sow shallowly and sow.

The substrate uses 1 part humus soil and 2 parts peat soil.

Mix 1 part of fine sand and 1 part of fine sand. After sterilization and sieving, level the basin surface, soak with water and sow evenly. After sowing, cover it with a shallow layer of fine soil or fine sand. At a temperature of 18-25C, the pot surface can be planted in 30 days.

It can germinate, and after another 2 months, it can be planted in pots.

Next comes division and cutting. Division and cutting should be done in spring when repotting. Be careful when taking out the mother plant when repotting. Do not break the leaves. Then cut the stolons into sections, each section should have at least 2-3 pieces.

Leaves, wait for the cuts to dry and then divide them into pots. Applying plant ash or charcoal powder to the cut wounds can prevent the wounds from rotting and improve the survival rate.

Finally, tissue culture uses the axillary buds of Huyan flower as explants. Under sterile conditions, they are routinely disinfected and inoculated on MS medium supplemented with synthetic mitogens and naphthenic acid. The medium contains 2% sucrose and 0.6 agar.

%, ph value 5.8. Culture temperature, light time, light intensity. Yellow-green callus group will grow within 1 week

The buds will differentiate directly on the surface of the callus within 20 days. The buds can proliferate rapidly by subculture on the above medium. The buds can be cultured on MS rooting medium supplemented with naphthenic acid and can grow within 10 days.

The root system has emerged. After cultivating for 1 month, the test tube seedlings can be transplanted into pots, and the seedling survival rate reaches more than 90%."

"I'm just talking about some generalities. For specific details, you still need to consult a professional!"
