Chapter 156

“Let’s have a look.” Lily felt interested in it. When they stepped inside, they saw several red sandalwood containers. At first sight, there were little differences from the standard. There were many fake sandalwood on the market, but the ones here seemed very good at first glance. However, they were still not very rare. “What‘s so special about it?” Jenny leaned closer to look at the leaves and sniffed them a few times.

“You are the experts. Why don‘t you look at it yourself?” Ben, who seemed like a simple and honest guy, said with a smile.

Lily took a closer look and reached out to pluck sleaves. A bit of sap dripped from the broken stem as a unique smell overflowed. She smelled the leaf and touched the branch.

She could see that a part of the branch was clefted. “You guys performed grafting?” “Miss, you have a good eye. You‘re the first one among those who cto see this sandalwood who noticed this.” Ben gave her a thumbs up. “Grafting? What plant did you graft it with?” Jenny also becinterested upon hearing this. She pinched splucked leaves and smelled them carefully.

“I can‘t tell you,“Ben smiled, but it was laced with smugness. This was most likely brought on by a sense of pride from minor achievements. To a gardener, success in cultivating a plant after much hardship was like bringing up an excellent child. It was something to be proud of.

“It‘s mint, right?” Lily said.

“How‘d you know?!” Ben looked at her in amazement this time. This was the gardener‘s own attempt, as he was unsure if it would be a success. He had told no one, as this was also a trade secret. However, Lily could quickly determine it after looking a few times. Ben thought that his efforts to keep a secret for so long had turned into a joke.

“I can smell it. There is a unique smell of red sandalwood, but it has a cool feel. It‘s the particular smell of mint. The blend of these two seems to contradict yet surprisingly unique.”

Jenny knelt down to get closer and sniffed the plant deeply when she heard Lily‘s words. “Yes, that‘s right. It‘s mint!”

When Jenny smelled it earlier, she noticed the difference but could not pinpoint it exactly. The main reason was that she had not considered that the plant was grafted, let alone a successful one.

Jenny looked at Lily in surprise and admiration.

“You‘re amazing, miss. You could tell the difference just by smelling it. We’ve done several trial and error but only succeeded with the mint so far. What‘s your thought of this scent? Do you think it‘s good, or do you feel put off with the smell?” Considering the plants were still in the experimental stage, the gardeners did not take them out for display. They were also unsure of the market prospects, so it was not planted in large quantities.

“These plants are perfect. I want it!” Lily said as she pointed at the red sandalwood.
