Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 69: Planting peach trees and watering spiritual spring water to upgrade, one family looks fo

At noon when the sun was shining brightly, Yu Yu's family sat around a rustic wooden table, with steam rising from the delicious and heartwarming meal on the table.

Yuyu put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked outside: "Let's go plant the peach tree after dinner."

Xiaoyu's mother smiled slightly: "Yuyu, why did you suddenly think of planting a peach tree?"

Yuyu swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Mom, you don't know, I read in ancient books that peach trees were auspicious things in ancient times."

She gestured and said, "The ancients often planted it in their courtyards. When the flowers bloomed, they looked like clouds and rosy clouds, so beautiful that it was beyond words."

"Besides, peach blossoms also symbolize good luck. If we plant peach trees, maybe good luck will continue to flow in."

Li Hao ate his meal in big mouthfuls while mumbling, "Is it really that magical? Then we should plant a few more trees."

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. "You only care about quantity. These peach trees aren't about quantity, but about how carefully they're planted. Every peach tree is like a hope, so treat it well."

Yuyu blinked her big eyes and asked, "Are the peach trees in ancient times more beautiful than the ones we see today?"

Xiaoyu touched Yuyu's head and said, "Of course. Peach trees grow freely among green mountains and clear waters. Some grow in the courtyards of scholars and poets, accompanying them in their poetry and paintings; some grow in the fields and countryside."

Li Hao smiled and nodded. "You make sense. We should plant them well then. But where do we get the peach tree seedlings?"

Yuyu chewed a piece of food with chopsticks: "You forgot, I have space"

After lunch, Yu Yu brought his family to an open space in front of the house.

Yu Yu took out a peach sapling from the space. The sapling had tall branches, a well-developed root system, and a slight fragrance of soil.

Xiaoyu picked up a hoe and started digging a hole. As she dug, she said, "You can't be careless when planting peach trees. The hole must be dug to the right depth, just like everything in the world, there must be a limit."

Li Hao helped to straighten the saplings, while Yu Yu watered them.

Yuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mom, when these peach trees grow up and bloom, our yard will become a peach blossom forest."

"When the spring breeze blows, the petals will fall, just like a rain of flowers. We can set up a tea table under the tree and invite people to admire the peach blossoms, just like the elegant scholars of ancient times."

Li Hao laughed: "Then I can practice martial arts under the peach tree, maybe I can learn a set of peach blossom sword techniques." The whole family was amused by him, and laughter echoed in the yard.

Yuyu went to water a peach tree: "Besides, this peach tree will attract many birds and butterflies. We can listen to the birds singing in the early morning and watch the butterflies dancing in the daytime. This little peach tree is amazing."

While planting peach trees, the family looks forward to a future with peach blossoms in full bloom.

Yuyu walked away with a watering can: "Let's go to the back hill and plant some peach trees. Not only in the yard, but also on the hill in the backyard. Plant lots of them."

Xiaoyu: "So many?"

Yuyu excitedly gestured with the bucket in hand: "Mom, just imagine, when the whole mountain is covered with peach blossoms, it will be so spectacular."

"Ancient books say there were vast peach blossom forests in ancient times, like a fairyland. We can do the same now that we are in ancient times ourselves."

Li Hao clapped his hands and cheered: "Yes, then I can practice Qinggong in the peach blossom forest, that will definitely feel great."

Xiaoyu nodded and gestured, saying, "Perhaps there were many legendary stories in the peach blossom forest in ancient times. Perhaps there were knights resting under the peach trees, and beautiful women strolling in the peach blossom rain."

Back mountain

Xiaoyu placed the sapling in the hole, filled it with soil, and compacted it. She smiled and said, "We are dressing the earth in colorful clothes."

Li Hao carried a bucket of water back and forth, watering the trees and calling out, "Peach trees, you must grow up quickly and bloom."

Yu Yu hung a small sign she made on the sapling, with blessings for the peach tree written on it.

She looked at the saplings planted all over the mountain, her eyes full of longing: "When these peach trees grow and bloom, this place will be a sea of ​​pink. When the breeze blows, the petals flutter, just like a flower snow."

"Then we can build a small cabin in the peach blossom forest and read and write in it," Yuyu continued, "or we can spread a blanket in the forest and have a spring picnic."

The Yu Yu family was working hard, and their laughter echoed through the mountains and forests.

Yuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood up. "Huh~ All right, Mom, let's water the peach tree with some spiritual spring water. It will grow faster this way."

After saying that, she took out the spiritual spring water from the space and carefully watered it at the roots of each peach tree.

Li Hao came over, his face full of curiosity: "Mom, when do you think these peach trees will bloom? Next spring? By then, the mountain will be covered in a pink haze, which will surely be beautiful."

Xiaoyu patted his head and said, "You're so impatient. The growth of the peach tree depends on the situation. But if it's this spiritual spring water, maybe we don't have to wait until next spring. Maybe we can see buds in a few months."

"When the flowers bloom, the whole mountain will be filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms. We can set out fine wine and delicious food among the flowers and imitate the ancients in reciting poems and writing couplets. It will be an elegant event."

Yuyu put down the spiritual spring water and said with a smile: "If that is really possible, it would be great. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, perhaps they can attract people from all over the area to come and admire them."

She skipped and skipped again, saying, "Then we can hold a flower party in the peach blossom forest, just like in the story, with lots of fun games."

Yuyu looked into the distance, as if she had already seen the magnificent scene of peach blossoms in full bloom: "When the peach blossoms bloom, this will be our paradise."

Xiaoyu stood up, dusted herself off, and said, "Okay, let's go back to the house in front and water the peach tree in the yard with some spiritual spring water."

So the family returned to the house with the remaining spiritual spring water.

Yuyu took a ladle and gently poured the spiritual spring water around the newly planted peach saplings in the yard, muttering to herself, "Spiritual spring water, spiritual spring water, please make these peach trees grow quickly and bloom soon."

Li Hao watched from the side, his eyes full of anticipation: "I hope these peach trees will bloom soon, then we can practice swordplay and play amidst the fragrance of the flowers."

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. "When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, our house will be like being enveloped in pink clouds. It will surely be the most beautiful sight in the world."

Yuyu stood up and looked at the saplings in the yard: "Maybe it won't be too long before we can see peach blossoms all over the trees. By then, the fragrance of peach blossoms will be everywhere here."

System: [Spiritual Spring Water Upgrade: Watering plants with Spiritual Spring Water can make them grow faster, depending on the specific situation]

Yuyu said to Xiaoyu happily: "Mom, the spiritual spring water in the space has been upgraded. The upgraded spiritual spring water can make plants grow faster."

Xiaoyu: "We just finished watering the peach trees."
