No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

After a simple decoration, the store can be opened for business as long as the goods are put on display.

But Ji Qingyue was in no hurry to do so. After the craftsmen left, he decisively closed the shop due to the curiosity of his neighbors and colleagues.

Why doesn't this young Hu man open his shop to do business?

Opening one day later means one day less of revenue and one day more of expenses.

After the Spring Examination, Li Sanlang and Ji Qingyue officially moved into the second floor of the store. The second floor was the same size as the first floor. It was originally a VIP area for receiving women and distinguished guests who were not convenient to show up in public. Now it was converted by Ji Qingyue into a study and bedroom for Li Sanlang to live in.

Like everyone else, Li Sanlang was puzzled by Ji Qingyue's decision not to open the store immediately. As Ji Qingyue explained his store plans in detail, he gradually realized that Ji Qingyue was not going to do an ordinary seed business.

While Ji Qingyue was busy applying for business qualifications and handling new business registrations, Li Sanlang stayed in the shop. According to Ji Qingyue's prior instructions, he re-turned and screened the soil in the flower beds and vegetable plots, carefully picked out the large impurities inside, and then asked someone to bring a truckload of cake fertilizer and mud fertilizer, and mixed it into the soil to improve the soil structure and increase its fertility.

Li Sanlang originally wanted to use manure fertilizer, but was stopped in time by Ji Qingyue.

Although manure is rich in nutrients and cheaper than other fertilizers, it has a strong smell and is not suitable for home use.

Two or three days later, Ji Qingyue successfully obtained the new pass and business license.

At this time, he sincerely felt that Chang'an City was indeed very tolerant of Hu merchants. Not only was its attitude very friendly to Hu merchants, but it also gave Hu merchants special treatment in many policies.

The reason why passes and business licenses could be issued quickly was one of the preferential treatments Chang'an gave to Hu merchants.

The key documents and certificates have been processed. To outsiders, it would seem that the business should be officially opened now or not, but the young Hu man does not seem to have that intention.

The sign on the store's door had been hanging for several days, covered with red cloth and still not removed. Logically, the city officials would come into the store to check and confirm that the content was consistent with the registered application documents before issuing the business qualification, which was to prove that the store had the qualifications to open. What was this young Hu man waiting for?

Ji Qingyue didn't care what others thought. He and Li Sanlang just stayed in the shop, carefully taking care of the plants that had been transplanted from the paintings and just replanted in the soil.

Li Sanlang looked at the plants that had just been planted all over the room. Because of transplanting, they still looked wilted and would need a few days to adapt before they could regain vitality.

"Brother Ji, are these plants really as you said?"

Ji Qingyue knew that Li Sanlang was not unbelieving, but was curious because he had never heard of it before.

"Of course! Look at this eggplant tree." Ji Qingyue pointed to a half-human-high eggplant tree planted in the vegetable patch in the backyard. It looked ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely you can find clues.

The eggplant trees are full of purple fruits. These fruits are not the common egg-sized ovals, but strips as long as a baby's arm.

This purple eggplant is still in its growth stage. When it is fully mature, it will be as thick and long as an adult's arm.

In addition to purple, there are also white and green eggplants, which come in shapes ranging from oval, spherical to long strips, and in different sizes.

In addition to eggplant, a common vegetable, Ji Qingyue transplanted another common vegetable - cabbage - into another vegetable patch.

Of course, like eggplant, cabbage has also differentiated into different types, and the number is even greater: green cabbage, milk cabbage, small cabbage, oil cabbage, black cabbage, tall cabbage, cauliflower...

It has been more than four years since he entered the painting and came to the other world. Ji Qingyue has spent most of his time and energy on farming. The arable land in the painting is getting larger and larger, from ponds to mountains, all of which are fields he has reclaimed bit by bit. The types of crops have increased explosively since he went to the south of the Yangtze River, ranging from terrestrial to aquatic crops.

As the types and areas of crops planted in the land increased, Ji Qingyue gradually discovered another characteristic of the magical land.

In addition to shortening the growth cycle of crops, magical land can also increase the probability of natural mutations in plants.

Through self-pollination or hybridization, the same crop will undergo changes, usually in size, color and yield. Ji Qingyue will take out the seeds of these mutants separately and store them separately. The next time he plants, he will open up a piece of land specifically for planting these mutated seeds.

Among all crops, Ji Qingyue grows the most cabbage, so cabbage has more mutations. Cabbages and other vegetables pollinate each other and produce seeds with different characteristics. When planted in batches, some unique varieties will always appear.

In addition to mutations in vegetables, mutants also appear in fruits and flowers. The most obvious among fruits are grapes and watermelons, while the mutations in flowers are even more complicated, not only giving rise to unprecedented new varieties, but also producing astonishing forms - color change, multicolor, loss of green, etc.

Ji Qingyue cultivated seeds in the painting in advance, and when the seeds grew successfully and formed buds, he transplanted the flowers onto the three-dimensional vegetation wall in the store.

What is planted on the wall now is the "orchid" among the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum - Cymbidium.

The buds of the cymbidium orchids on the wall have already formed and are about to enter the flowering period, when the entire wall of orchids will bloom with petals of different colors.

Although you can't tell the difference from other shops from the outside, once you open the door, you will be surprised to find the unique and rare sights in the shop.

The vegetation wall faces the store door. As long as the door is opened, people on the street can see the wall full of flowers.

The rectangular flower beds in the shops are also filled with plants.

Ji Qingyue dug out several specially cultivated fruit trees and planted them in the flower bed.

Grapefruit, tangerine, orange, tangerine and mandarin orange.

A pomelo and a tangerine are crossed to get an orange, an orange and a pomelo are crossed to get a grapefruit, an orange and a tangerine are crossed to get a tangerine, and a citron and a pomelo are crossed to get a lemon...

Citrus plants surround the store, forming several green tree walls that are not only pleasing to the eye but also emit a pleasant fragrance.

When the store opened for business, Ji Qingyue and Li Sanlang moved two one-meter-tall fruit trees planted in pots outside the store. After setting off firecrackers at the door of the store, they immediately took off the red cloth on the plaque - Qinyuanchun!

At this time, everyone realized belatedly that this shop that had been closed for a long time was actually open for business today?!

There are two trees planted in huge pots at the door, full of golden fruits as big as quail eggs. The shopkeeper not only trimmed the branches and leaves of the fruit trees neatly, but also hung small red pieces of paper on the branches and leaves.

I don't know what it means.

Li Sanlang asked Ji Qingyue the reason, and Ji Qingyue explained that this was a tradition in his hometown. During the Chinese New Year, people would go to the flower and bird market to buy potted plants, among which this kind of fruit tree was the most popular.

good luck!!

"Shopkeeper! What kind of tree is that outside? It looks so festive!!"

When people asked, Ji Qingyue smiled and replied: "This is a kumquat! Does it look like a copper coin?"

"Wow! It really looks like a copper coin now!"

More and more people gathered around, including many businessmen from the same business community who came to inquire about the news. They all wanted to know what business Ji Qingyue was doing.

They looked around the store, walked from the lobby to the backyard, and came out still looking confused.

What kind of business is this young Hu man doing?

Someone asked: "Boss, what kind of business are you doing?"

There are no shelves or counters in the shop. The first thing that catches your eye is a whole wall of precious orchids. The orchids that are about to bloom are already pleasing to the eye. If they are in full bloom, they will surely attract more people to come and appreciate them.

The shopkeeper also planted fruit trees in the store. People learned the names of these fruit trees from the signs under the trees: grapefruit, tangerine, orange, tangerine, and lemon.

Well-informed people will naturally know grapefruit and orange, but what are the others?

As the shop's tour guide, Li Sanlang explains the relationship between these fruit trees to the guests based on his status as a scholar.

As if listening to a book, everyone was shocked after hearing what Li Sanlang said: Wow! These fruit trees are actually related in this way! !

"Boss, how did you come up with the idea of ​​growing these fruit trees?"

Ji Qingyue explained haltingly in his unfamiliar Chinese: "Just like parents giving birth to children, different fruit trees can also produce different fruits. You will naturally understand the tricks after trying more."

The eggplants and cabbage in the backyard are the most commonly eaten vegetables by the locals. These Hu people can grow so many varieties of these two kinds of vegetables alone. The word "magical" is not enough to express their evaluation of Ji Qingyue at this time.

Someone asked again: "Boss, what kind of business are you doing?"

Ji Qingyue stood under the orchid wall, opened his arms, and announced loudly: "I am engaged in the seed business. I think everyone has a favorite flower, plant, or tree. If you want some seeds, you can come to me and ask."

"Do you have any seeds? Garlic seeds?"

"Of course we have." Ji Qingyue stood with his hands behind his back. "Whether it's vegetables for ordinary people to eat, flowers and fruit trees for rich people to enjoy, or seeds that are specially cultivated and different from ordinary ones, I have everything here!"

Everyone looked at Ji Qingyue's confident look and for a moment they didn't know whether they should believe it or not.

"In the future, I will plant corresponding crops in the shop according to different seasons. In the fall, you may have the opportunity to see pumpkins weighing hundreds of kilograms."

Ouch——! !

How could there be a pumpkin weighing hundreds of pounds in this world? ! !

"Of course, this giant pumpkin doesn't taste good and is not suitable for eating. It can only be used for viewing."

At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "So, I want to buy the pumpkin seeds you mentioned! I wonder if you can take them out now?!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked outside and saw a man in extraordinary clothes standing outside the crowd. He looked either rich or noble.

Ordinary people made way for him so that he could walk into the shop smoothly.

Ji Qingyue certainly didn't recognize the person, but he was different from the ordinary people around him because he was wearing a round-necked brocade robe with intricate patterns.

"Of course I can, but this giant pumpkin is difficult to cultivate, and the seeds it produces are scarce and more valuable than ordinary seeds..."

Before Ji Qingyue could finish, the man waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't even mention ten or a hundred gold coins, I'll buy it for a thousand gold coins!"

Ji Qingyue was in a dilemma. This might be his first order, and he hadn't decided on the price yet.

"Sir, you are so straightforward! In that case, I will sell you the giant pumpkin seeds at the price of one gold per seed. I wonder if you will accept it?"

The man nodded slightly, agreeing to Ji Qingyue's price of one gold per seed.

"How many can you sell me?"

Ji Qingyue stretched out two fingers.

The man frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

Ji Qingyue quickly explained: "Sir, these pumpkin seeds are not easy to grow, and even harder to take care of. I will sell you two seeds and give you two extra ones as a gift."

Hearing this, the man was reluctantly satisfied and immediately raised his hand and waved back.

The servant standing in the crowd immediately came out, took out a purse embroidered with gold thread from his arms, then took out two small gold ingots from it, and presented them to Ji Qingyue with both hands.

At this time, one gold coin was equal to one tael of gold, one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, or ten thousand copper coins.

Ji Qingyue took the gold ingots and handed them to Li Sanlang for safekeeping. He told Li Sanlang some things and asked him to help look after the shop. He then turned and walked into the warehouse in the backyard.

Only when they saw the shopkeeper going to get the seeds did everyone come back to their senses from this miraculous deal!

One seed for one gold?!

Is it really possible to grow a pumpkin weighing hundreds of pounds? What if it can't be grown? !

The onlookers couldn't help but whisper. Li Sanlang had already learned the specific matters about the seeds from Ji Qingyue in advance. At this time, he gently spoke up to stop everyone's doubts.

"What the shopkeeper said is of course true. When he gets the seeds, I will tell you some things that deserve special attention." After Li Sanlang finished speaking, he turned around and introduced the orchids on the wall.

Ji Qingyue used the cover of the storehouse to take pumpkin seeds from the painting.

In front of the man, count the four seeds.

The man turned his head away, and the servant behind him lifted the seeds with both hands, respectfully took them and put them into another brocade bag.

Afterwards, Ji Qingyue temporarily stopped the others outside the store, closed the door, and together with Li Sanlang, led the man and his servants to the study on the second floor.

Ji Qingyue dictated and Li Sanlang wrote down, telling the man all the precautions to take during planting.

Giant pumpkins have very high requirements for soil fertility. Before sowing, not only should various fertilizers be added to the soil in advance, but deep plowing should also be carried out to turn up the soil to a certain depth and cover the shallow soil.

Through this fertilization, Ji Qingyue learned that there are many varieties of fertilizers in Chang'an. In addition to the most commonly used manure, there are also green manure, manure, compost, cake fertilizer, mud fertilizer, ash fertilizer, bone fertilizer, etc., which contain different nutrients. Mixing several fertilizers can greatly increase soil fertility.

The temperature in Chang'an is not yet high enough. We have to wait for a while until the temperature stabilizes before sowing. Fertilize every ten days during the growing season. Keep the soil moist without water accumulation. Remove side leaves, old leaves and dead leaves in time to reduce nutrient consumption. Increase watering during the flowering and fruiting period.

When the fruit begins to swell, you need to put a straw mat underneath the fruit and a tarpaulin on top of the fruit. The straw mat and tarpaulin should be thickened and widened as the pumpkin grows to avoid rain erosion and direct sunlight.

By the time Ji Qingyue had finished explaining the precautions, Li Sanlang had already written several pages filled with notes.

Obviously the man didn't expect that growing a giant pumpkin would be so troublesome. He asked his servant to take the paper away, then said goodbye to Ji Qingyue and Li Erlang and left.

The first business was done this way!!

As the man left, Ji Qingyue's seed shop also became a hit! !

People paid much less attention to ordinary seeds than to strange seeds, and asked Ji Qingyue if there were any other unique seeds besides giant pumpkin seeds.

Ji Qingyue didn't say much, but opened the door to welcome the guests as usual.

After the first day of trial operation, Ji Qingyue and Li Sanlang clearly felt that some things needed to be changed.

Because there were too many curious people, and there were only Ji Qingyue and Li Sanlang in the store, they obviously couldn't take care of everything. As a result, some unscrupulous people took advantage of the two's inattention and touched the plants in the store.

At the end of the day, the plants that were originally full of fruits became bare, and even several orchids were picked away.

The kumquat tree at the door was the worst off, with all its leaves plucked out.

Therefore, Ji Qingyue decided to add a fence between the shop and the backyard and no longer open the backyard to the public for close viewing.

A railing was placed in front of the shop’s three-dimensional vegetation wall, and the two plant pots were moved inside the door so that people standing outside the shop could see but not touch them.

The store is temporarily run by Ji Qingyue and Li Sanlang. As long as there are not many people entering the store, the two of them can take care of it.

Because Ji Qingyue has special time to go out, the seed shop is not open every day.

The shop is only open in the morning and is only open seven days out of ten. If it is not open when the market opens in the morning, it will definitely be closed on that day.

Although Ji Qingyue is so willful, no one dares to question his willfulness.

One seed is worth one gold!
