Chapter 22 Spirit Gathering Array
The snowflakes that were originally falling in the sky disappeared, and the temperature in the air began to rise.
Snape actually felt a little hot in his coat.
After making sure that the magic circle was functioning normally, Jiang Li left the center of the formation. The light of the pattern on the ground dimmed and finally disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Li instructed Mia to put the gardenia seeds into the holes that had been dug previously.
Snape was somewhat curious about what Jiang Li wanted to do, so he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he watched her movements quietly.
As soon as the seeds were buried in the soil, they began to sprout, grow branches, and grow lush leaves. Then they began to form flower buds and bloom into white gardenias.
The yard was filled with the rich scent of gardenias, and Snape felt as if his nose was being attacked.
He took a step back, twisted his foot, and the moonflower seeds in his hand fell into the soil.
The moonflower is a very delicate magical plant. It will die if you are not careful. It is the nightmare of all herbology students.
At this moment, the particularly delicate plant seeds germinated and fell into the ground, quickly taking root and sprouting, and quickly grew several flower buds, and were about to bloom.
Snape was stunned by this scene.
He had seen Sprout planting evening primrose, and he had to take care of it very carefully, using all kinds of fertilizers to ensure that the evening primrose would not die, let alone grow flower buds.
Jiang Li saw an ugly weed on the steps, so he walked over and pulled out the evening primrose that was about to sprout flower buds.
"What are you doing!!"
Snape almost let out a sharp crack.
"Pull out the weeds. There can't be any ugly things in my garden." Jiang Li said as a matter of course.
She was thinking about growing some fruits and vegetables in the back yard.
The meat here is okay, but there are too few varieties of vegetables and she is almost tired of them.
"This is not a weed, it's evening primrose, a very precious herb." Snape said angrily.
"You want to grow this thing?" Jiang Li asked.
Snape nodded.
Jiang Li dug a hole in an inconspicuous place at the drain of the house and buried the dying evening primrose in it.
The evening primrose, which was about to die, immediately became energetic.
Jiang Li patted the dirt on his palms with satisfaction.
Such an ugly flower should just stay in the corner.
Snape was shocked by this scene.
Suddenly, a bold idea came to my mind.
He ran into the house, took a bag of magic plant seeds and scattered them on the soil.
There are many tender sprouts in the dark soil. They grow rapidly and finally become thriving medicinal herbs that can be used directly.
Snape was pleasantly surprised and felt that he would never have to work hard to collect various rare herbs again.
Can't he just grow it himself?
"What are you doing? Why are you growing such ugly weeds in the yard?"
Jiang Li walked over and planned to pull out the magical plant that Snape had just planted.
Snape immediately grabbed her hand and stopped her from wasting the gift.
"These are magical plants. You can't pull them out. I have a use for them."
"This is my yard. I don't want to plant such weird things. Pull them all out." Jiang Li said coldly.
Of course she knew what kind of flowers and plants these were, but these magical plants would frantically plunder the energy of other plants. Jiang Li had spent so much effort to create the spirit gathering array, not for the purpose of growing medicinal herbs.
"These magical plants are extremely expensive and have great value in the market. You can sell them for a lot of money." Snape said seriously.
Jiang Li said indifferently, "Oh!", and said with great wealth, "I don't need that little money. I don't like these ugly things. They can't be planted here."
At this time, Snape, a poor old professor who spent all his money on buying potion materials, was greatly impressed by Jiang Li's words.
Under Snape's insistence, Jiang Li reluctantly opened up a small area in the backyard for Snape to grow medicinal herbs.
Although the planting area was small, Snape was already very satisfied.
Because he found that no matter what kind of medicinal herbs were planted, they would grow quickly and could save him a lot of money.
When Jiang Li saw Snape, who used to stay at home doing potions every day, starting to hoe the ground and plant herbs in the backyard, he thought that he must have been a farmer in his previous life.
She asked Mia to build a shed and grow fruits and vegetables such as cabbage and cucumbers in the backyard.
With the spirit gathering array, there are many more types of food on the table every day.
Jiang Li also bought a lot of Chinese home-cooked meal recipes for Mia so that she could learn how to cook them and eat all kinds of delicious food every day.
Eating the delicious four-happiness meatballs, boiled pork slices, spicy hot pot... Jiang Li's mood improved a lot.
When Snape ate these, he looked indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he liked them or not.
But judging from his increasingly plump cheeks, no food was wasted at all.
Apart from a daily trip to the deserted playground nearby, Snape's daily activities were limited to moving between the dining table, the potions room and the herb field at the back.
Occasionally he would think that this place was pretty good. If he didn't go to Hogwarts to be a professor after graduation, he could stay here with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li also likes alchemy and would not do anything strange. The two of them are in step with each other and often read books face to face in the study. Occasionally, they can even discuss the problems in the book, which is very relaxing.
Snape looked at Jiang Li, who was reading a book with his chin on his hand, and his mind was empty.
If nothing unexpected had happened, I would have really enjoyed staying with Jiang Li, feeling free and relaxed.
Jiang Li felt as if the person opposite him was looking at him. He raised his eyes and saw Snape reading a book with his head down.
She pushed the book out, stretched, and asked lazily, "Do you want to go out and play?"
It's already July, and Jiang Li plans to buy himself some new clothes. The clothes in the wizarding world are too ugly and the aesthetic is too monotonous. Muggle clothes are better looking.
"Don't go."
Snape turned the page expressionlessly.
"Well, since you're not interested, I'll go by myself."
Jiang Li thought that maybe he could ask Penny and Julia out, as these two children should be on vacation now.
After many chance encounters, the two girls have become very familiar with Jiang Li, and occasionally ask Jiang Li to go out and play together.
Jiang Li also installed a telephone at home, making it very convenient to get in touch.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Li developed a magic communicator based on the Muggle phone, and it is much cheaper than a two-sided mirror. It can also be made into an ornament and hung on the body, but it costs extra money.
As soon as it was launched, it was loved by many wizards and the demand exceeded supply.
Jiang Li handed over all sales matters to Malfoy and took 50% of the commission for himself.
It has to be said that although the Abraxas are a little fickle, they are good at doing business. In just half a year, Jiang Li earned 30,000 gold galleons, and his subsequent income is still increasing.
After choosing from the wardrobe, Jiang Li put on a mint green floral shirt, high-waisted jeans, and sunglasses, looking like he loved no one, and went to the flower shop in the next town.
"Ali!! We are here!"
Julia and Penny were standing at the door of the flower shop. When they saw Jiang Li, Julia waved at her happily.
There was a little red-haired girl next to Penny, who was staring at Jiang Li curiously, and Penny's expression seemed a little unhappy.
