Now that the big boss has said so, Shen Yue shouldn't be too stubborn. She simply gained a lot the day before yesterday, and if she makes potions, she can survive for a while.
"Then I won't go. I'll wait until the storm is over." Shen Yue put down her backpack, stood up and rummaged through to find a small hoe and a small jar.
The puffballs in the mushroom field behind the house have been stimulated by chemical fertilizers. They are as big as bamboo baskets, and their brown powder is almost ready to spurt out.
The first priority is to scoop out the dark brown spore powder and store it for use as seeds. There is no problem in placing the rest in the ground to continue growing.
When she was free later, she would also send some fertilizer and water to her two aunts to speed up the growth of the puffballs.
There is also the nux vomica tree. Shen Yue picked a lot of nux vomica that had weathered naturally on the tree. It would be the best to make seeds. She just didn't know if it would grow well in such a small place behind the house.
Shen Yue loosened the soil, picked out a few nux vomica and planted them in it.
Horse money requires a lot of nutrients, so fertilizer and water should be added when sowing begins.
Shen Yue walked to the well, fetched a large bucket of water, took a fertilizer seed from the bag on her waist and put it in. After a while, it all dissolved in the water.
"Madam, let me do it." Luo Qingjiu saw Shen Yue walking this way carrying water through the window, and immediately put down the half-made things in her hands and came to help.
Before Shen Yue could say anything, the bucket in his hand had already reached his hand. Shen Yue raised his eyes to look at Luo Qingjiu, and his eyes were blocked by a shadow.
It was Luo Qingjiu who was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief! Her movements were gentle, as if she were treating a rare treasure.
"You, you started working so early in the morning, why can't you sit still for a moment?" Luo Qingjiu couldn't help scolding her, but her words were filled with distress.
Shen Yue smiled at him. When they arrived at the mushroom field, Luo Qingjiu refused to give her the scoop no matter what.
Shen Yue had no choice but to guide him with words: water this area less, and don't water that area. Just water a quarter of a scoop of the newly planted seeds.
Not long after finishing the work, the voice of the Gu family's aunt came from all the way away, "Yue'er, are you at home?"
Shen Yue, who heard the sound, quickly walked towards the yard, "Auntie, I'm here!"
Luo Mu asked the two of them to sit down first, got up and went into the kitchen to pour them tea. Luo Qingjiu said hello and went back to the house to put away all those things.
As Shen Yue approached, she realized that there was a woman following Aunt Gu. Before Shen Yue could take a closer look at who it was, Aunt Gu said, "Yue'er, guess who I brought here for you?"
Shen Yue then looked at the person carefully. Although he was not very familiar with him, he had met him once before. Soon Shen Yue knew who it was.
"Auntie?" Shen Yue called.
Although they didn't know the aunt's last name, they still got along quite well while chatting in the car that day.
The aunt smiled sheepishly and said, "What a coincidence, we took a ride together last time. I didn't expect you to remember it."
Aunt Gu looked at the two of them and smiled. She didn't expect that the two of them had actually met. "This is your Aunt Wang. When she came to my house two days ago, she saw me planting medicinal herbs. So I felt itchy and wanted to find some work for myself."
"I can't make up my mind. Why don't I bring someone over here for you to take a look at? But Aunt Wang is famous for her good nature, and everyone knows this."
Just at this time, Luo Mu came out with tea, "Why are you still standing outside? Come inside and sit and chat."
As Shen Yue led the people inside, she was thinking about what Aunt Gu's aunt had just said.
Looking at the Wang family's aunt in front of him, she had a very gentle face, and the last time she talked to him, she spoke softly, so Shen Yue had a good impression of her.
"Aunt Wang, do you also want to grow medicinal materials with Aunt Gu and the others?" Shen Yue asked.
Aunt Wang nodded towards Shen Yue with some embarrassment, "Yes, there is a lot of land at home. I am idle at home, so I might as well do something like them to pass the time. "
"Of course it's possible, we just happen to be short of manpower!"
She needs a lot of medicinal materials now, and there are only three medicinal herbs grown by her, so naturally it is not enough, so the more people who plant them, the better. Of course, the prerequisite is good temperament.
She doesn't want to deal with "civil strife" all day long.
Shen Yue got up and went to the kitchen. When she came back, she had a bag of seeds in her hand, "Auntie, take these. I'll teach you how to do it later. You can sow seeds in the same way when you get back." "
Aunt Wang took the seeds and followed Shen Yue's footsteps to the back of their house.
Looking at the puffballs behind the house that were so big that they couldn't be held with two hands, Aunt Gu's eyes widened in surprise, "Yue'er...how did you grow this? Why are they so big..."
"Well, from time to time I will buy some fertilizer, and I was just about to give it to you." Shen Yue explained to Aunt Gu with a smile.
"Aunt Wang, take this bucket of fertilizer water when you leave later. I will give it to you later when the time comes."
She was not sure about the dosage when sowing seeds last time, but now that she knows it, she can safely give it to her aunts.
Shen Yue dug out another small open space and said to Aunt Wang, "Auntie, look at it. This land needs to be softer and more fertile. Plow the soil loosely and then plant the seeds in it."
After saying that, Shen Yue picked up a hoe and turned over the ground, breaking up the soil. Then she took some fertilizer water from the side and poured it on it. "After spreading the fertilizer, put the seeds in, or first You can put seeds and fertilizer, and after covering it with soil, you can pour some ordinary well water."
After a series of operations, Aunt Wang's attention was very concentrated, for fear of missing something.
Seeing this, Shen Yue handed the hoe to Aunt Wang, "Why don't Aunt Wang do it herself? Why can't you do it? I'll correct it now."
Aunt Wang took the hoe and began to loosen the soil next to where Shen Yue was planting. Following her actions just now, she planted the seeds in.
"Auntie, it's absolutely fine for you. You can plant it yourself when you get back."
Seeing that growing medicinal materials was not as difficult as she imagined, Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Firstly, she found something to do for herself, and secondly, she could reduce some of the burden on her family.
She was afraid that people would not want her, but she didn't expect that Shen Yue would teach her step by step, which made her flattered. Thinking of this, she cast a grateful look at Shen Yue.
Shen Yue's eyes were filled with smiles, "As long as Auntie works well, there won't be any problems. If there is anything you don't know how to do, you can ask Auntie Chen and Gu, she has already memorized it."
Both aunts nodded. Shen Yue remembered that she had not given the puffball spore powder to Aunt Wang, so she turned around to get some more, along with the fertilizer grains, "These fertilizer grains are full of nutrients, two grains per acre, If you run out of it, you can come directly to me and take care of it."
Aunt Wang thanked Shen Yue profusely and said goodbye.
