"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 some leaves. 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 came to see this sandalwood who noticed this." Ben gave her a thumbs up.
"Grafting? What plant did you graft it with?" Jenny also became interested upon hearing this. She pinched some plucked 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.
