Chapter 33 Planting Seedlings (1)

Although Qin Muyu's body is a little weak, but now he has Chen Qiuxiang, a younger brother and sister who is a part-time pharmacist, and his mother, a perfumer who can make incense for the body, he just looks a little weak now.

In fact, although Qin Muyu's current body is not as strong as his younger brother's, he is not so weak that he can't go out or have a wind.But his body is not healthy yet, and he will have to take care of it for a period of time before he can recover.

Also because his health has improved, Qin Muyu likes to go out very much. Now he brings his nephew out to play, so he can also exercise a little.

Life lies in exercise, so he still walks a little to make his body better.

Qin Muyu took Qin Xiaobao to play all morning, and when the two of them went home for dinner at noon, Chen Qiuxiang, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hadn't come back yet, so Qin Muyu took his nephew to take a nap.

Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao also came back for dinner, they didn't take a nap but went to prepare other things with others after a short rest.

The workshop needs to be built, but they also need to get the tools ready, such as the stone pound for pounding medicine, etc., which need to be prepared.

Stones are not so rare in the countryside, but it is not easy to find a few relatively large stones here, so people need to find them and use a lot of hands to mine them.

When Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao were busy, Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law occasionally went to the mountains to collect herbs, and usually paid attention to the crops in the field.

Although the paddy fields cannot be transplanted because the seedlings are not yet full moon, the sweet potatoes and corn on the dry land are growing well.Because there is an irrigation system, it is more convenient to water the dry land. The corn and sweet potatoes grow well after being watered from time to time.

Both Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya have wood-type abilities. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law occasionally go to the field to take care of the crops with wood-type abilities, and these crops grow better and better.

After the corn seedlings grew out, Chen Qiuxiang didn't care much about them, but after the sweet potato leaves grew, many people looked at the tender green sweet potato leaves and wanted to eat them.

In fact, there were not many types of vegetables in the Yong Dynasty. There were definitely no such things as Chinese cabbage, lettuce, lettuce, and cabbage. Therefore, sweet potato leaves, which can be eaten as vegetables, are very popular among the villagers in Qinjiazhuang. up.

The sweet potato leaves of Chen Qiuxiang's family grow very lush because she and her mother-in-law Wang Mingya take care of them from time to time with wood-type abilities, and she doesn't worry that everyone will eat the sweet potato leaves and get bald.

After all, her family has planted twelve acres of sweet potatoes. Although they are interplanted with corn, there are still so many leaves grown in this way. It is impossible for the whole Qin family village to eat the sweet potato leaves and become bald.

"Daughter-in-law Zhang, is this sweet potato leaf from your family ready to eat?" In the adjacent field next to Chen Qiuxiang's dry land, an aunt asked while looking at the lush sweet potato vines growing in her field.

"Auntie, do you want to pick some sweet potato leaves and eat them back? That's fine." Chen Qiuxiang said with a smile, "Auntie can pick some sweet potato leaves and eat them back, as long as the sweet potato leaves in my field don't get bald."

The growth of sweet potato vines will also affect the growth of sweet potatoes. After all, all its nutrients are supplied to sweet potato vines and sweet potato leaves, and less can be supplied to the root system, so it is also good to remove the sweet potato vines.

"Is it really possible?" The aunt looked at Chen Qiuxiang in surprise and asked.

"Yes, yes." Chen Qiuxiang nodded and said, "It's just that Auntie, watch over the vines, don't pull out the sweet potato vines, just use a knife to cut at this position."

Chen Qiuxiang taught that aunt how to cut sweet potato vines. The best place to choose is where the tender leaves are. The sweet potato vines before the old leaves are kept. Just cut off the sweet potato vines with edible young leaves. .

The aunt nodded seriously, and Chen Qiuxiang and the aunt cut off about as many sweet potato vines as Chen Qiuxiang's two fists put together, and she handed them all to the aunt.

"Auntie, take these sweet potato vines back, pick off the leaves and eat them, and the remaining vines can be planted. If you take care of them, they will continue to grow leaves and sweet potatoes."

"You can't waste it." Chen Qiuxiang urged.

"Okay, okay." This aunt knew that the sweet potato vines that Qin Chunying and Qin Chunlan sisters took from Chen Qiuxiang's house before were eaten and then planted the remaining sweet potato vines. As a result, the sweet potato vines in their house are also growing now. There are new leaves.

"This sweet potato is really good. Not only can it grow so many vines and leaves, but it can also be eaten and replanted with these vines. It is really a precious crop." Auntie said with emotion.

Chen Qiuxiang nodded with a smile. Although sweet potatoes are rarely planted on a large scale in some rural areas in later generations, they still grow some from time to time. They are either eaten as vegetables or grown to grow sweet potatoes.

Eating too many sweet potatoes may cause gas and fart, but everyone likes some sweet sweet potatoes. Roasted sweet potatoes are very delicious, which makes people never forget.

The sweet potato vines of Chen Qiuxiang’s family are growing lushly. Apart from the neighbor’s house, other families in Qinjiazhuang have also exchanged sweet potato vines with her family one after another. They can taste the taste of sweet potato leaves and keep the remaining sweet potato vines for themselves. planted.

It is also possible to plant sweet potato vines only in a corner. It can be planted in the corner of your own vegetable field, or in the corner of dry land, or in the corners of the paddy fields.

Of course, sweet potatoes do not grow well when soaked in water, so if you want to plant them on some wet land next to the paddy field, you have to consider it.

Chen Qiuxiang didn't care so much. Those who came to exchange sweet potato leaves with her family didn't take money, but exchanged some soybeans, pigeon peas, red beans, etc. from her own house. Chen Qiuxiang didn't refuse, one catty Douzi can exchange four or five catties of sweet potato vines with her.

When the seedlings in Chen Qiuxiang's house were five days away from the full moon, the insecticide workshop was completed. Not only the walls were finished, but the roof was also covered with thatch.

After the workshop was built, it was ready to be put into use, but at this time, Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao left the team. They no longer continued to work in the workshop, but went home to do the work in the field. .

The paddy field of their family had been in the sun for two days when it was just plowed, and then soaked in water for almost a month. Now the land is moist and soft enough, and transplanting rice seedlings will not be so uncomfortable.

You must know that if the paddy field is not soaked in water for a few days or half a month to a month in advance, but starts to plow the field just before the transplanting, even if it is plowed several times, the hand will still feel painful when transplanting the rice.

But soaking in water in advance is different. The mud is very soft, so you won’t feel pain in your fingers when transplanting rice seedlings, and it’s much easier to transplant rice seedlings.
