Infrastructure masters in the red building

The red fruit that Fuya found from Hengwu Garden is thin and long, with a "J"-shaped hook at the tip. It looks coquettish and dangerous, but Jia Fang's heart is so happy that it is about to burst .

This is two vitex, two vitex peppers!

Hot and sour kimchi will be available, and red oil hot pot with bubbles will be available soon!

The hot pepper, hot sauce, and chili oil that he had missed for so long seemed to come to him at this moment.

"Fuya, my good boy, where did you find these fruits?" Jia Fang bent down to look at Fuya, and immediately dispelled the urge to "take advantage of the victory" to find these peppers.

Fu Ya's eyes were red, her lips were swollen, and she looked in pain.

He already understood in modern times: the "hotness" of this pepper is not a taste, but a pain mixed with heat.Young children are especially sensitive to this pain sensation.

Fuya must have seen that the fruit was so bright red and very beautiful, so she took a big bite, and reached out to wipe her mouth, and then touched her eyes after wiping her mouth, she must be feeling uncomfortable now.

Jia Fang immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking Fuya to look for chili peppers, and immediately said, "Come on, let's get out of the garden. Shuangwen, don't rub her, the more you rub her, the more painful it will be."

Shuangwen was constantly wiping Fuya's tears with a veil, presumably the veil was also stained with a spicy substance, and the more it was rubbed, the more irritating it was. No wonder Fuya kept shedding tears, crying into a pitiful .

"Shuangwen, go and see if there is any milk or goat's milk in the kitchen, and just say I want to drink it." Jia Fang continued to direct.

Shuangwen nodded obediently. Now if she wants to get things from the big kitchen, as long as she is under the guise of Jia Fang, it will be very convenient for her.

Jia Fang took Fuya by the hand, brought the crying little poor back to the courtyard, comforted the frightened Sun, and when Shuangwen came back, he fed Fuya some goat milk and said, "Capsaicin can Soluble in lipids, if you are not afraid, drinking oil can actually relieve spicy food.”

Shuangwen said with a wry smile: "It makes sense to tell the people in the big kitchen that you want to drink milk and goat milk, but that you want to drink oil..."

Jia Fang: ... also!

After finally coaxing Fuya, after asking her to make sure that the little girl’s head and face no longer hurt, Jia Fang breathed a sigh of relief, took out the two vitex sticks that Fuya handed over just now from his cuff, carefully Scrutinize.

Indeed, it is said that pepper was first planted in gardens as an ornamental plant when it was introduced to China.Jia Fang once wondered whether the owner of the garden knew that he had actually introduced an almost indispensable seasoning to China.

In the future, when everyone enjoys hot peppers, I don't know if anyone will think of the hardships of a traveler like him looking for hot peppers everywhere.

While Jia Fang was proud, he heard Shuangwen in the west chamber teaching Fuya: "Do you know what those flowers and plants in Hengwu Garden are?"

Of course Fuya didn't know, so Shuangwen went on in one breath: "The ones that hang down are the vines, the fragrant ones are Du Ruohengwu, the red ones are Ziyun, the green ones are Qingzhi, and those that are recorded in other ancient books. What kind of stone sail, water pine, Fuliu, green weed, red pepper, mulberry, and Fenglian, maybe there are all of them in the Hengwu Garden—but there is only one, and there is nothing there that can, eat,!"

Shuangwen taught the poor little girl a lesson: "Do you remember?"

Jia thought at ease: What Shuangwen said is not entirely correct, but it is enough to teach the greedy little girl a lesson.

But... wait!

Jia Fang suddenly thought: Every part of this Grand View Garden has something unusual.Needless to say, Daoxiang Village has a "shrinking whip" that can "send you thousands of miles away" in minutes; Xiaoxiang Pavilion has a mysterious super-intelligent bookshelf that only you can think of, and there is nothing it can't give.

According to the order of the "construction drawings", the third building that appeared, Hengwu Garden, could it be——

Chili, which Jia had been thinking about for so long, suddenly arrived.

Is this the same as the bookshelves in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, a botanical garden that can provide unlimited supply of various plant species?

Jia Fang stretched out his arms, put his hands together on top of his head with a "snap", and thought: God, give me some coffee beans!

But on second thought, he had only seen roasted coffee beans in his life.He has never seen what the original coffee looks like, and even if he had, he wouldn't know how to tease it.If you can really find coffee seedlings, let the professionals cultivate them!

Jia Fang spent the whole night in various daydreams, and when he got up early the next day, he took Fuya to go to Hengwuyuan to look for peppers.

He hadn't been here for a few days, and seeing the progress of Hengwuyuan at a glance, he was also very surprised.Under the leadership of the craftsmen, the reconstruction and restoration of Hengwu Garden have been completed in sevens and eighties. If you don't look carefully everywhere, it's hard to see what's wrong with the garden.

The craftsmen were also very happy to see Jia Fang, and they all called them "Third Masters". After all, every time Jia Fang came over, they would praise them first, and then point out all kinds of problems in the details with sharp eyes.

But Jia Fang didn't have the heart to inspect the building carefully today. He followed Fuya along the climbing corridor to the courtyard gate of Hengwu Garden, where there stood a huge and exquisite rock with various exotic flowers and plants hanging down from the rock. straight down.

Fuya is not tall, but she pointed to the red pepper fruit hanging from the vines on the high place.Jia Fang looked at her suspiciously, Fuya could only lower her head embarrassedly, and circling her two fat short fingers, said: She just picked off the lower ones yesterday.

Jia Fang had no choice but to borrow a ladder from Xiao Gong.

Seeing that Jia Fang wanted to "climb the ladder" by himself, a worker hurriedly expressed his willingness to do it for him. Jia Fang politely refused, saying that it was his own business. But it's too late.

Therefore, all the craftsmen working in the Grand View Garden watched their leader "Three Masters" climb up the ladder and climb up the Linglong Mountain stone with ease.

After Jia Fang climbed up the rock, he stood there motionless - not because the pepper seedlings were entangled with the vines and it was difficult to distinguish, but because he saw the same familiar vegetables or fruits.

Small oval red berries, but the size of his thumb - isn't this a cherry tomato?

Why didn't Fuya find this yesterday, and just went to pick peppers? ——Jia Fang quickly realized that Fuya failed to "climb the ladder" yesterday.

It seems that the cherry tomatoes in front of me, like the vitex hanging in the distance, are "ornamental plants" that have not yet been on the dining table in this time and space.Jia Fang thought about it for a while, and vaguely remembered that in his time and space, the tomato was introduced to China in the [-]th to [-]th centuries, so it was called "tomato".But this is a super nutritious veggie/fruit with almost as much vitamin C as a chili pepper.

Today, he can harvest two plant seedlings rich in vitamin C, if he can successfully dig out the two plants from the Linglong Mountain Rock.

But this is a bit difficult - the reason is that the exotic flowers and plants hanging from the rocks are very luxuriant, and it is difficult for him to take out the plants in a short time.If you really want to do this job, you need to get a bigger ladder.

Jia Fang was about to give up at the right time, and returned to the escalator, ready to go down.

At this moment, he stopped suddenly, staring straight at the underside of the lush leaves of the cherry tomatoes, where he seemed to see a ray of sunlight reflected by metal, passing by.

Jia Fang stretched out his hand in that direction, and a small piece of cold metal fell into his hand.The cold and smooth touch surprised Jia Xin—this definitely came from the industrialized era he lived in, and he had never seen this kind of craftsmanship in this time and space.

Jia Fang spread out his palm carefully, and saw a long string of letters on it: "Lycopersiconesculentum Mill". ①

If it wasn't on the escalator, Jia Fang would have knelt down on the spot.

Why is there even Latin?

But think of the Swedish botanist Linnaeus who advocated the Latin botanical nomenclature in the eighteenth century. Perhaps in terms of the straight-line distance between parallel time and space, the two are not far apart.

This botanical nomenclature bridges the differences of the same plant in different languages ​​and even dialects, and avoids misunderstandings—just like last time, if Jia Fang knew the botanical name of Artemisia annua, he might not Will confuse it with the wild vegetable Artemisia annua.

Thinking of this, Jia Fang couldn't help sighing: This fairy garden is really "fairy", and various "fairy operations" emerge one after another, it is unimaginable!

After he got the nameplate, he was confident, and he was not in a hurry to dig out the pepper seedlings—because this Hengwu Garden looked very different, it should be a large botanical garden.

Jia Fang returned the ladder, put the nameplate with the botanical name of the cherry tomato in his pocket, and slowly began to visit the Hengwu Garden, which was about to be restored.

This is the courtyard where Xue Baochai lives in the book "Red Mansion", and Xue Baochai is a very cold character.This courtyard seems to have inherited her temperament.This temperament even affected the people in the courtyard. The craftsmen and small workers did not dare to fight or make loud noises in the courtyard.

The main building in the garden, the Qing Mansion with a width of five rooms, has been rebuilt on the basis of being burned.

The "lightning rod" specially requested by Jia Fang has also been installed.It was a metal wire buried under the ground from the roof down the gable.It's just that none of the craftsmen knew what Jia Fang installed it for.

According to the instructions of the craftsmen, Jia Fang inspected several fireproof water storage tanks installed behind the main house of Hengwuyuan.The terrain here is relatively high, and it is difficult for the water system in the Grand View Garden to lead to high places by natural force.Therefore, Jia Fangte bought a manual water pump from Baigongfang, which has become its "historic product", and stores water with water, which can be completed by shaking the handle.

This building should be less worried about Zhu Rong's patronage in the future.

After checking the lightning protection and fire prevention measures, he returned to the main house of Hengwu Garden.The four walls inside the house have also been whitewashed to the ground, and the house is just like the one described in the original book: like a snow cave, echoing the cold and green strange grasses and fairies outside, it is especially suitable for the scene.

The old craftsmen who repaired Hengwuyuan repainted and polished some of the intact wooden furniture that they had picked up from the burned rubble, so that they could no longer see that they had been burned.

Now that Jia Fang entered the house, he saw that there was only a desk in the middle of the main room, and on the table was an earthen vase with two chrysanthemums inserted in it, probably Shuangwen's flower arrangement.The overall furnishings in the house are very simple - this is also related to the fact that the restoration project of Hengwu Garden has not been fully completed.

But Jia Fang likes this kind of interior decoration style: simple, plain and attractive.It is not the same as the gaudy decoration style of Mrs. Shi in Rongxi Hall.

Jia thought at ease: Maybe he can set up a minimalist training camp in Hengwuyuan in the future.

But this is all for later, and now the top priority is to find a list of species stored in this large botanical garden.

He had just started his career and had not yet become a "one draft decides the universe", he had participated in a project to expand a famous botanical garden with his brother, so he knew more about botanical gardens than ordinary people.The botanical garden is not just a large park full of various exotic flowers and plants in people's impression, it is also an important unit for research, introduction, domestication and preservation of various plant populations, which is the decisive difference between a large botanical garden and ordinary ornamental gardens . ②

As a member of the design team, Jia Fang also learned at the time that in a botanical garden, the area for tourists to visit often only accounts for 50%-60%, while 20% of the area will be reserved for experiments and research areas②.At the same time, the preservation of plant species and archives is also an important part of plant research, so most of the botanical gardens contain various books related to plant research.Take the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in the UK as an example, where hundreds of thousands of books, manuscripts and periodicals related to plant research are stored there.

But no matter how small the botanical garden is, no matter how imperfectly managed, it will keep a "roster", at least it should record what is planted in the garden.

Jia Fang's idea is that with this list in hand, finding these plants and transplanting them properly will be no problem.

But the question is, where will the species list be kept?

He searched around in the house, and then along the climbing corridor, but he still found nothing when he returned to the original place, so he had no choice but to ask the craftsmen: "Excuse me, did you see a book when you were building this house?" ?”

"Book?" The leading old craftsman opened his eyes wide in astonishment, "Third Master, are you joking?"

"That's right, Third Master. When you first came here, you saw that this yard was burned by thunder and fire. Even if there were books, they would have been gone long ago after putting down the sky fire!"

Jia Fang: Yes! ...I actually forgot about this.

So this big botanical garden has become a hodgepodge garden with no directory, no index, and all the plants grow together?

At this time, Shuangwen came in with a food box, heard the conversation between Jia Fang and the craftsman, smiled immediately, and said, "Why did the third master come here to find books? If you want to read books, you should go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

This is really a word that awakens the dreamer, Jia Fang suddenly realized, he bowed to Shuangwen with joy, and walked towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a hurry.

Shuangwen handed the food box to the craftsman, squatted in front of a flower garden in front of the main house of Hengwu Garden, looked at a vegetable he had planted by himself the day before yesterday, and said in amazement: "Hey, why didn't I see you all day? Has grown up so much?"

Jia Fang stepped quickly and rushed into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.In autumn and winter, everything is bleak, and the thousands of green bamboos outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are somewhat chilly.However, Jia Fang ran all the way, his whole body was warm, and his head was slightly sweating.

He entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and went directly to the library.The sky shines down from the bright tiles on the roof, illuminating the bookshelf in front of him.

Jia Fang took a deep breath, trying to calm down and concentrate, then stepped forward steadily, pulled out a book from the shelf, and slowly opened the title page——

"Yes!" The young man shouted excitedly, and then hurriedly bowed to the bookshelf in front of him to thank him, "Thank you for your help!"

He reminded himself to always remain in awe of knowledge—these are knowledge collected and compiled by human beings over the years, and one must not underestimate its significance because it is too easy to come by.

The title page of this book reads "List of Key Research Plants of Hengwu Garden".Jia Fang became excited again when he saw this, and feelings are all "key research".

He flipped a page casually, and happened to see the entry "Two Vitex".I saw that the plants, flowers, and fruits of Ervitex were drawn in this directory, and the botanical name, Chinese name, shape and habit, flowering period, fruit-bearing period, and planting guide were listed.It can be said that everything that one expects to find is very detailed.

In addition, there is a small number next to the entry of "Two Vitex", which is compiled with Arabic numerals.

Jia Fang quickly turned to the back cover, and found a folded map here. When he opened it, it was the full map of Hengwu Garden, with numbers densely packed on it.

Jia Fang carefully searched for the serial number of the second vitex, and saw that its location happened to be on the big Linglong rock at the entrance to the courtyard.

This is an index of all the plant species in Hengwu Garden. Jia Fang guessed that as long as he followed the map, he would be able to find the corresponding plant species.

This is too great, right?

Jia Fang suddenly had the feeling of owning the whole world—he found corn and sweet potatoes after a rough rummage, and rubber after another rummage!

When Jia Fang saw this, he felt that he would go to heaven immediately: Just imagine Jia Fang, who holds grain in his left hand and cash crops in his right hand.

When Fuya ran into Hengwuyuan, she saw Jia Fang so excited that she couldn't help herself.The little girl hurriedly shouted: "Third Master, Sister Shuangwen came to you and said that something strange happened in Hengwu Garden..."

Strange thing? !

Jia Fang calmed down, and he hurriedly followed Fuya to Hengwu Garden, and saw Shuangwen squatting in front of a flower garden in front of the main house in a daze.

"Third Master, look at this!" Shuangwen pointed to the flowerbed and said, "I planted it yesterday, and it's like this today."

Jia Fang took a look, and couldn't calm down any more, and asked, "Shuangwen, where did you find this?"

"This... this is Chinese cabbage!"
