Chapter 44 – Old general Yun (Part 2)
“I know a little.” Lin Mumu nodded modestly.
“En, then, let’s see, what happened to this jasmine, why did it drop its leaves?”
“Let me see. Wait, why isn’t this pot of jasmine on the other side? How come it came under the grape rack?” Lin Mumu had very good memory, especially concerning her own home.
“I saw it had opened two small flowers and smelled very fragrant, so I moved it over.” The old man probably guessed it was actually his own fault. He laughed a bit awkwardly, and his tone got much better.
“It doesn’t matter, jasmine likes to bask in the sun. If you like, you can place it at the shelf on the side without using the grape rack as support and enjoy the smell from there, it’s better to leave a certain distance away from the plant so that the flowers’ fragrance won’t be too pungent. You will also enjoy different layers of delicate scents. You also need to take note that jasmine isn’t fond of too much watering. Leftover tea especially shouldn’t be poured into it.”
Lin Mumu felt distressed over the pot of jasmine and quickly plowed its soil and lightly watered it before placing it back in the sunlight.
“Hey, little girl, didn’t you just say it shouldn’t be watered too much? I just watered it yesterday.”
“I water it differently from you.”
Lin Mumu’s const.i.tution was somewhat special. Perhaps this was the talent her master spoke about. After her fingers gently stir the water, she uses it to water the flowers, and it acts as the fairy medicine of plants and flowers. Rotten roots, insect bites, withered leaves, all can be cured! The flowers will even become more beautiful and the buds will bloom quickly. Also, the effects were immediately visible! However, she couldn’t scientifically explain this phenomenon.
Old general Yun watched Lin Mumu working her magic to revive the almost dead jasmine pot. Not only didn’t seem in better spirit, the still closed buds instantly bloomed and bursting out with an exquisite fragrance.
“You were right, the jasmine’s scent became richer and more fragrant. It is much better to put it a little further away.” The old general convincedly nodded his head.
Lin Mumu smiled and accompanied Old general Yun to talk about the frequency of watering, the best kind of water that should be used, and so on and so forth.
