Chapter 113 Pink Bubble Pods
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
At 09:30, at the entrance of the third greenhouse, Sun Zhu wrapped her academic coat tightly, checked her magic wand, and opened the door of the greenhouse with the key given by Professor Sprout.
When Cedric told her that Professor Sprout had something to look for her, she had no idea that this matter required her to come to the greenhouse at ten o'clock tonight to help pick the bubble pods that were about to ripen.
"It is a very strange magical plant. It is pink when fully mature, and the pods are bulging. The shiny beans inside will jump out easily. And these beans will bloom when they hit a solid. Lay the ground of the greenhouse into a tapestry tonight." Professor Sprout said: "Bamboo, after reading your thesis, I think you are a kid who has a lot of research on herbs. There are not many students who have the knowledge base and thesis writing ability. I believe you can help me deal with them, right?"
Of course Sun Zhu has no reason to refuse, this is his own dean after all.Professor Sprout said that she has been busy preparing all kinds of wound medicine and antidote recently, and she can't spare time, so she can only ask her to do it for her.
Although she was surprised that Professor Sprout valued her, she readily agreed.
She ran to the third greenhouse near curfew, trying to find the light pink field of underripe beans in the southeast corner.
"Bubble pods, when picking, you can use the floating spell with the clear water spell, so that the water flow can wrap the entire pod, preventing the beans from popping out, and at the same time, the surrounding liquid can also protect it from blooming. Well, you can also use a cutting spell to make the pods and The branches and leaves are peeled off. How precise is that operation..." Sun Zhu looked through the notes her father gave her, which happened to record how to pick this troublesome plant, "I have no problem with the floating spell, and the cutting spell It's not bad, but the water clearing spell is a bit difficult, I can only summon a little water flow at most, let alone wrap the pods evenly... Dad's spell level is too high."
Maybe she can only rely on the help of Uncle Long and Xiao Tongzi, but before that, she has to try it herself.
As she looked at the light pink pods, she counted the plants here: "It looks like a lot, at least a hundred..."
"120 four plants, each with eleven to fifteen pods." A voice suddenly appeared, Sun Zhu subconsciously turned around, and saw Cedric carrying a bag of things.
Seeing her surprised look, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you surprised to see me? I told you that Professor Sprout asked us to help her."
"That's not... Well, how do you even know how many plants there are?" She pretended to be very interested in the bubble pods, staring at it vigorously, as if it would bloom in the next second, "So many, the two of us Can you finish it?"
"Professor Sprout told me the quantity." He took out something from the bag and handed it over, "This glove was also given to me by the professor. The surface is covered with a layer of magic fluid, which is very convenient for picking pods. "
Sun Zhu took it in a little surprise, the glove fit very snugly on his hand, and it was still a little cold to the touch.
"So there is such a convenient thing."
"Of course, why would Professor Sprout deliberately embarrass our two first-year students?" Cedric glanced at the mechanical watch, "There is still 10 minutes to ten o'clock, and the time difference between the pods ripening is less than 5 minutes. Get ready."
Sun Zhu glanced at the color change of the pods: "Let's start with the leftmost row, they should be the first to mature."
Cedric nodded, glanced at her pink cheeks quietly, and said with some hesitation: "Zhu, you..."
"What's the matter?" She looked at him innocently, "Be careful."
He could only nod his head obediently, his face was as red as an unripe bean pod.
Sun Zhu sighed silently.
Two minutes before ten o'clock, a clear sound of pod popping echoed in the greenhouse.
At the same time they began to pick pods and pick up beans.
"Bamboo, there is a plant with pods on your right that has matured ahead of time." Cedric reminded.
Sun Zhu hurriedly picked off the string of pink bean pods and threw them into the special bag made by Professor Sprout.
"Oops, the bottom bunch of beans are all flying out and are about to fall to the ground." Sun Zhu pointed to the bean pod vine beside Cedric, "Be careful, if you let them touch you, they will bloom on you .”
Cedric unhurriedly drew out his wand, used the Levitation Charm to float them in mid-air, and put them all in the bag.
"The bubble beans should also be used to make potions. Although the medicinal value of the shell of the pods is better, these beans..." Cedric showed her the shiny things in the bag, "There is a wonderful use, which can be used to Banish the troll. If you come across a troll, throw it at it, and it will run away angrily."
Sun Zhu looked at these crystal-clear round particles, and couldn't help but said, "Sounds like something that Professor Snape would like."
"You mean, Professor Snape can't resist throwing Bubbles at students during class?"
Sun Zhu shrugged: "I didn't say that."
"It doesn't matter." He turned and continued picking beans, "Professor Snape isn't here anyway, so he won't deduct Hufflepuff points."
Sun Zhu couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.
The work that I thought was a huge workload was completed in less than an hour. Sun Zhu rubbed his sore wrist, feeling that today was a day of hard work.
I have to work overtime at night, too busy.
Although it is said that those who can do more work, she still finds it strange that Professor Sprout finds first-year students to work.
"Well, I think so too, and she said that from my homework, I can see that I have someone in my family who is proficient in plant care, you know, my mother is better at this of course. So she asked me to do this, it sounds like It's not too difficult, so I agreed." After hearing her doubts, Cedric said simply: "Since you think this task is very strange, why did you agree?"
"Although it's strange, Professor Sprout won't harm us. Bubble pods are not dangerous plants." Sun Zhu shook his head, "Except for the late hour, there is nothing wrong with it. I have no reason to refuse."
She wished she could help the professor.
"Okay, the pods here are all picked, we can go." Cedric put the bag in the corner, "Professor Sprout said she will come to pick it up tomorrow morning, we don't have to worry about it."
"Okay." Sun Zhu glanced at a few pink bean flowers on the greenhouse floor, bent down and picked them up.It looked a lot like the popcorn she had eaten in a previous life, but it was much firmer to the touch.
"It's almost eleven o'clock, and it's curfew." Cedric reminded, "I hope you won't run into Mr. Filch and his cat on the way back."
Sun Zhu shrank his neck in agreement. Although Filch couldn't do anything to them, the way he scolded people sharply made people not like to meet him.
When Cedric told her that Professor Sprout had something to look for her, she had no idea that this matter required her to come to the greenhouse at ten o'clock tonight to help pick the bubble pods that were about to ripen.
