Chapter 37 Marjoram

"Everyone must be careful when handling it. Especially when pruning the branches at the end, because this is related to how much useful substances can be extracted after the final marjoram enters the mature stage."

Sprout gave thousands of instructions and walked around the greenhouse to make sure every student heard them.

Opposite Ed and Decora, are Ron and Harry.

The two of them watched Ed's skillful combination of meticulousness and quickness. A pot of marjoram's wilted leaves were picked off by Ed and placed on the table next to it.

Then use scissors to cut off unnecessary branches and leaves, loosen the soil, and fertilize, everything is done in one go, just like flowing water.

"Mr. Sprout, we're done!" After Ed clapped his hands in satisfaction and removed the dust from his hands, Decora jumped up and raised his hands happily and shouted.

"Let me check it out... Well, it's perfect, beautiful! As the first one to succeed, Slytherin adds three points."

"Oh, yes!" Decora clenched his hands into fists, obviously it was very cool to lie down and score points for the academy.

Ron and Harry saw everything Ed did through the gap between the flowers and leaves, and looked at the triumphant Decora jealously.

With the small shower in his hand, Harry tilted his head and asked Ron, "How did Ed do it? He's so fast!"

"Damn Decora, obviously he didn't do anything!" Ron watched with disdain as Decora picked up the flower pot, proudly showed it to the students, and turned to Harry, "What did you just say?"

"I said, how did Ed do it so fast?" Harry repeated his doubts.

Ron turned his head to look at Ed again, seeing that he was also looking at him, Ron put his hands around his mouth like a trumpet, and quietly asked Ed on the opposite side: "Ed, you have, do you have any skills? Can you?" Teach me and Harry."

After speaking, Ron showed what he thought was the most sincere smile.

Ed raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and waved to Ron and Harry, motioning for them to come over: "Both of you, bring the flowerpot over here, and I'll teach you."

In fact, Ed has nothing to teach, as long as he is careful enough and fast enough.

On the other side, Elizabeth also wanted to ask Ed for help, because her deskmate was really dull.

Thorne (sunny) is Elizabeth's deskmate, a pure-blood wizard born in the Shaker family. His father and mother belong to cousins, so the child he gave birth to is a little slow in response and fatter, which can be forgiven.

Blame the so-called pure blood theory.In order to maintain the pure blood of the family, these families have done a lot of wonderful things.

Seeing the four people coming over with two flower pots in their arms, Ed was lucky: one sheep can be herded, and two sheep can also be herded, so we can teach together.

Ed stood on tiptoe and looked at Mrs. Sprout outside the glass shed through the "tall" herb plants. She was chatting with a businessman in a suit?
Ed only praised Sprout as a good teacher in the last chapter, and this meeting with unrelated people in class...

"Ed?"

Ron put the flower pot on the table, and Thorne carefully placed the flower pot on the table under Elizabeth's guidance.

When Ron called him, Ed looked away. He was just a student, why worry so much?Maybe this is the husband of the teacher.

"It's actually very simple. I don't need to teach you anything. Most of these marjorams have reached maturity. The yellow leaves that need to be removed are generally at the lower part."

After a minute of silence, Harry saw that Ed stopped talking, and instead looked at the chubby Slytherin student, and asked strangely, "No more?"

Ed spread his hands, turned to look at Harry and replied, "No more."

Ron looked at Ed in disbelief, with the words "Don't joke with me" written on his face, and said, "That! That! Then how could you do it so quickly? Especially the final pruning, how do you know Which are useful and which are not?"

"How come you look good."

"What about the output that the teacher emphasized?" Elizabeth asked a question, and Ron and Harry nodded in unison.

Ed smacked his lips and answered the four people: "Marjoram has been mass-produced in the Muggle world. Although the active ingredients will be less, there is still no shortage. Besides, if you cut more or less, it will have a big impact."

Hearing Ed's words, Ron and Harry showed excitement in their eyes, each with a pair of scissors, and began to trim their pot of marjoram.

"Then...if everyone..."

After hearing Ed's words, Elizabeth on the side still hesitated. She felt that what Ed said was wrong.

If you treat every marjoram plant with this mentality, it will really reduce the yield of a lot of extracts.

Ed saw Elizabeth's doubts, cut off the remaining half of Elizabeth's sentence, looked at the happy Harry and Ron who cut it, and said, "Don't worry, you don't want that kind of thing.

If they were all going to grow marjorams, they would love and care for them as much as possible.Let them produce more, and they will get more Galleons. "

Elizabeth nodded half-understanding, then Ed touched his chin, pointed to Neville Longbottom and asked Elizabeth: "Mountbatten, Longbottom...do you know that boy?"

Looking at Neville, Elizabeth frowned. She searched for the characters in her memory, but found that there was no one she could match. She shook her head and said, "No."

"Before you get the notice, do you know about the 28 pure-blood families? Are there any wizards in your family's ancestors?"

Elizabeth thought for a while and replied: "I don't think so. I was taken to a manor outside London by my father very early, and I rarely saw the elders in my family. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just asking, just asking." Ed looked at Elizabeth strangely, this is wrong, that's not what the Sorting Hat said to him back then.

Noticing Ed's doubts, Elizabeth's face turned red and she spoke quickly. She took off her scarf and asked Ed excitedly: "What's wrong? You look at me like this! Is pure blood really important? And It’s really too much to make fun of other people’s family names!”

(;`O) o
Ed scratched his head, feeling as if he had touched on a sensitive topic, and then took off the scarf and quickly replied: "No, I'm just curious, why did you..."

∑(￣□￣;)
Before he finished speaking, a lot of mud splashed and splashed on his and Elizabeth's faces.

"Ah! Why did you pull out the marjoram!" Ron pointed to the marjoram in Thorne's hand, and asked Thorne as he wiped the dirt from his face with one hand.

Seeing the marjoram in his hand, Thorne slowly replied: "Just now, I accidentally watered too much just now, and I remembered that the teacher said not to water too much, it will cause root necrosis, so, so..."

"So you pulled it out! Whoops!" It was the first time Ron saw such a person, and he covered his eyes with his hands almost in sync with Harry, not wanting to look at this fat classmate.

And Thorne seemed to know that he had made a mistake, and anxiously said to Elizabeth: "I, I didn't do it on purpose, you, Elizabeth, you have to trust me, I..."

"It's okay, Thorne." Even though she was angry because of Ed's question, Elizabeth said to Thorne with a smile.

Ed looked at Elizabeth's profile, and suddenly felt that she was so beautiful.

I used to think Elizabeth was very delicate, like a white pearl.But in Ed's eyes, it was just a white pearl, which was not beautiful to him.

However, for some reason, seeing Elizabeth's side face covered with a bit of mud, Ed felt that the sun was just right at this time, and even the air was sweet, with a faint fragrance of earth.

Ron on the side looked at the marjoram he had accidentally bent, and said curiously, "This stuff produces a lot of water!"
