The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 96 Bougainvillea Planting Base

In fact, Zhou Manlin’s home is not far from here, also in the north of the city, but at the other end of the North Ring Road, Yuhu Villa.

About five or six kilometers.

There is no problem with the small eDonkey.

At 11:, Jiangbei is still brightly lit.

However, there are definitely fewer vehicles on the road than during the day. It is quiet and deserted, with only a few people and noise coming from the late-night snack shops on both sides.

The night wind is a bit cool.

Zhou Manlin rested her forehead on Li Beixing's back and asked her, "When was the last time we went for a ride on an electric donkey together?"

Li Beixing didn't ride very fast. After thinking for a while, he replied, "If I remember correctly, it should be the summer vacation of my junior year? Anyway, it's been several years."

"That's great!" Zhou Manlin burped.

Li Beixing was so scared that the front of the car shook: "Hey, don't vomit on me!"

"Don't worry, it's just a hiccup. I didn't drink much."

Just like that, the electric scooter arrived at Zhou Manlin's neighborhood with a lot of laughter.

She greeted the security guard at the door and was let in smoothly.

Zhou Manlin's house is also a villa, but it is a townhouse, and the house is not very big.

The electric scooter stopped in front of her yard. Li Beixing saw that there was no light in the house and asked curiously, "Are your parents asleep?"

"No, I went to travel in Hedong. There's a lot of tourist activity in Xiaoxitian and other places there recently, so I went to join in the fun. I guess I won't be back until next week."

Zhou Manlin jumped down and stomped her feet.

The electric scooter was too short, which made her long legs look awkward.

"Okay. You just drank some wine, so don't take a shower yet. Wait until you wake up." Li Beixing reminded.

"Know it!"

"Well, I'm leaving now."

Zhou Manlin waved her hand and said, "Be careful on your way back. Send me a message when you get home."

"Okay~!"

Looking at the electric scooter disappearing around the corner, Zhou Manlin sighed heavily.

Now I can still invite Li Beixing out for a midnight snack, but it may be difficult once she falls in love, gets married, and has children.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that growing up, which she had always longed for since childhood, did not seem so beautiful.

Go into the room, turn on the light, and lock the door.

Zhou Manlin was too lazy to go back to her room to sleep. After taking off her shoes, she just lay down on the chaise longue in the living room, pulled a thin blanket over her belly, and began to daydream.

It was not until a few minutes later that I received the news that Li Beixing had arrived home safely that I felt relieved, turned over and fell asleep, yawning.

After Li Beixing returned home, he took another shower.

After staying in the store for so long, I always feel that the smell of food, especially barbecue, is on my body. Even if it is almost blown away by the night wind, some of it still remains.

I can't sleep well without taking a shower.

After taking a shower, I found that it was almost 0 o'clock.

It's OK, not too late.

When I looked up, I saw Chen Jingle's painting "Beidaihe" hanging on the wall of the isolated study room, and I shook my head and laughed.

"Go to bed. I have to get up early for class tomorrow."

……

a new day.

As usual, Chen Jingle got up early and went to the Normal College playground to run.

His physical fitness is gradually improving, and it only takes him 30 minutes to jog five kilometers.

This is a speed that does not put too much load on the heart, but at the same time provides good exercise for the body.

The girl holding a book in the stands still appeared on time, like a mysterious NPC that refreshed at a fixed time.

"It's a pity there's no exclamation mark on the head."

Chen Jingle suddenly had an idea.

Otherwise, he might choose to approach and talk to see if it would trigger any task.

For breakfast today, I increased my appetite a bit, with two steamed buns and two steamed breads, and a cup of soy milk, which made me 80% full.

Many students in the Normal College are already quite familiar with this foreign "running guy", but when they meet him they just look at him a few more times, because everyone is curious.

The eyes are on someone else, and Chen Jingle can't stop it.

When he met enthusiastic students who offered to lend him their meal cards, he would happily accept them.

If you don't want to be a monkey and be watched by others, just finish your meal early and leave.

Then, several days later, I met Chen Xiuyun again at the school gate.

Sister Xiu rode her electric scooter in a hurry.

This time it was Chen Jingle who saw her first. Perhaps his eyesight had improved. He honked twice before she looked up.

When he saw it was Chen Jingle, he immediately smiled and waved.

"oi~!"

Sister Xiu is always so full of energy.

But it is really dangerous to always clock in at work late.

In addition to going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for cooking and continuing to study cooking, Chen Jingle also plans to go to the bougainvillea planting base in Jiangbei today.

I used to grow bougainvillea at home and gave away many pots of it to others. Although the re-grafted parts survived successfully, it will take at least a year for them to grow and bloom.

After all, his golden finger is a growth system, not Han Tianzun’s little green bottle.

The climate in Jiangbei is very suitable for growing bougainvillea, so many flower seedling planting bases that rely on growing bougainvillea for a living have emerged. The seedling bases that originally sold tree seedlings have now basically switched to selling bougainvillea. Most of them provide online ordering and delivery.

If it is local, you can also pick it up directly at your door.

Another advantage of picking up the goods yourself is that you can choose.

Chen Jingle didn’t know at first that there was a bougainvillea planting base in Jiangbei. Later, he found out about it when he saw a video on Douyin of others picking seedlings.

These planting bases are located on both sides of the county road from the eastern suburbs of the city towards the townships below, some distance away from his home.

He didn't go right away, but chose the practical class time.

To be clever, selecting flower seedlings can also be considered a practical part of planting.

……

Southland Garden Seedling Nursery Base.

When Chen Jingle explained his purpose, the staff immediately welcomed him and introduced him to the flower seedlings of various prices in the base.

From one-year-old piles to five-year-old piles, there are also grafted old piles and lollipops, etc. The varieties include Angus Purple, Double Red, Zhang Red Tassel, etc., with different prices.

The cheapest bare seedlings are five yuan each, and the seedlings with soil are ten yuan.

Chen Jingle's goal is to have seedlings with soil that are more than three years old.

It doesn’t matter if you spend a little more money. The key is to pick one you like and then slowly trim it into shape.

It is said to be a three-year-old pile, but in fact there is some water in it.

Because ground-planted bougainvillea grows very quickly, many grafted branches that have been planted in the ground for one year are used to pass off as three-year-old branches, and ordinary buyers cannot tell the difference.

However, it is not easy to deceive Chen Jingle. Unless the ones he likes particularly, he will try to pick seedlings of sufficient age.

As for those that have already been grafted with a certain shape, forget it.

One is not necessary.
Another thing is that from Chen Jingle's perspective, it can't really be called a garden landscape and it still requires a lot of time to maintain.

The staff took him to the flower nursery and left.

Anyway, we’ll calculate the money together after we’ve made our selection.

Chen Jingle began searching for suitable flower seedlings in this spacious nursery.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a voice came from behind:
"Hey handsome boy, the seedlings you picked are very good!"

Chen Jingle looked back and saw two older sisters dressed like elegant ladies standing beside him, looking in surprise at the pots of bougainvillea next to him.

As we all know, people in Lingnan are very casual about their dress, but this does not include women, especially those who are a little older and come from well-off families.

The two people in front of me were both wearing sun-protective clothing, sun hats, and sunglasses. Although I couldn't tell what brand their clothes were, their skin looked well-maintained and their temperaments were extraordinary. They must be rich or noble.

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just picked it randomly."

The older one with a rounder face waved his hand and said, "You are too modest. I think what you picked is much better than what we picked. You have a good eye. You are really amazing!"

She has been growing bougainvillea for two years. She cannot be considered an expert, but she has some knowledge about it.

The oval-faced lady smiled and said, "Can you help us take a look at the pots we picked?"

Chen Jingle looked at the two pots they picked, both of which were three-year-old plants like his.

I asked, "Are you planning to buy it and raise it yourself?"

"Yes, it is."

"Should I put it on the balcony or in the yard? In a pot or in the ground?"

"I know that potted plants and ground plants need to be separated, but do balcony and yard plants also need to be separated?" the round-faced lady was surprised.

Chen Jingle explained: "Yes, usually the balcony space is small. Considering that there are many typhoons in Jiangbei in summer, it is more suitable to choose some varieties with branches that are not so tall and thick, but easy to bloom, such as this one. If it is placed in the yard, planted in the ground or transplanted to a large pot later, you can consider those with developed root systems and thick branches, such as these two pots."

The round-faced lady suddenly realized: "I see, handsome boy, you really know a lot. I have been planting them for two years and still can't figure it out. No wonder I was wondering why they are all bougainvilleas. But when we put them together on the balcony, they always feel a bit out of balance. Some of them bloom a lot, while others like to grow long and thin. It turns out I bought the wrong ones."

The oval-faced lady said a little embarrassedly, "Can you help me pick a few more pots? I'm a novice and just started growing this. I plan to plant it in the yard. Ordinary seedlings will do. I prefer to grow it slowly."

Chen Jingle nodded: "Okay, I've already picked most of them anyway."

He picked out several colors and took them home to trim them and grow them for a while. He guaranteed that they would look very different.

"Thank you so much!" They both hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

The result was that more and more elegant ladies followed Chen Jingle, all of whom were friends of the two ladies just now.

I asked him to help pick a few pots to take home and grow.

Their requirements vary. Some want to put it in the office as a bonsai, some want to put it in the study, some want to plant it in the yard, and some want to hang it on the balcony anti-theft net.

The employees of the plantation were a little dazed as they watched Chen Jingle explaining all kinds of knowledge about bougainvillea to the ladies.

If you weren’t my friend, someone who didn’t know me would have thought you were the employee of our base.

In the end, the ladies were finally satisfied.

The round-faced lady looked at the time and said quickly, "Sisters, it's time to take pictures."

Well, I really have to take photos no matter where I go.

"Handsome boy, can you take a picture for us?"

Chen Jingle, who was standing next to him, was immediately entrusted with an important task.

"no problem."

Although Chen Jingle has not studied photography, he has studied painting, so he still has the basic aesthetic sense.

If the parameters of the mobile phone are adjusted properly and the system provides a little assistance, taking a few photos should be no problem.

Click, click, click, click continuously.

They came over to take a look and said, "What a great shot!"

Chen Jingle waved his hands quickly: "No, I haven't learned how to take photos. It's obviously the appearance of the sisters that played a role."

　I’ll post 7000 words first, and there’s still one chapter left to be finished.
