Chapter 512 Digging Sweet Potatoes

"Grandpa, in fact, you don't have to be so busy. All the preparations for the hospital have been completed, and the approvals from relevant departments have also been in place. We are just waiting for the building to be completed and open for business, and there are many people who are helping." Lin Ye said Helping grandpa grandpa sort out various medicinal materials, he said.

Grandpa Sun was actually a little nervous.

So find something for yourself to relieve your anxiety.

Just like Miaomiao before the big marriage, she was looking forward to and hesitant.

Grandpa Sun's greatest wish in his life is to pass on all the knowledge he has learned throughout his life, so that there will be successors, and the recovery and rise of Chinese medicine will be seen again.

And all this seems to be coming soon.

In the past few days, the new Chinese medicine building is about to be renovated. The decoration is very simple, but it is antique.

During the construction of the building, Grandpa Sun gave many suggestions.

Such as the layout of the building, the style of decoration.

It worked out pretty well.

"Xiaoye, I can do the rest, you can take care of Miaomiao." Grandpa Sun said to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye nodded and left.

When I went back to the room, Miaomiao was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.

Two sets of quilt replacements for changing and washing.

Lin Ye closed the door and closed the curtains to make the room darker, which would help improve the quality of sleep.

After doing all this, Lin Ye came to the backyard.

I got some seven-star grass in the farming space and planted it in the yard.

The Seven Star Grass in the space has sprouted.

The flowers and plants in the yard are well taken care of by Xiaohong.

The breeze blows, and there is a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

The peach blossoms that were originally open quickly withered when the cold air hit, and it didn't last long.

Two hours later, Xiaobai and Xiaohong came back with some sweet potatoes.

Still cooked.

"Is the sweet potato ripe now?" Lin Ye was a little surprised.

Miaomiao has also planted a lot of sweet potatoes. After harvesting the rapeseed, she can plant sweet potatoes in the rapeseed field with a little plowing. The two can just be connected, so that the farmland will not be barren.

Of course, the candidates for digging sweet potatoes now fall on Lin Ye and Xiao Bai.

Miaomiao is pregnant now, so naturally she cannot do farm work.

"Yes, Aunt Li sent it." Xiao Bai replied to Lin Ye.

"Let's go, Xiaobai, let's dig sweet potatoes." Lin Ye picked up a sweet potato, which was still warm, and broke it open. The inside was yellow.

This kind of sweet potato with a yellow heart tastes better than the white heart.

There are also many types of sweet potatoes, including white sweet potatoes, yellow sweet potatoes, and purple sweet potatoes.

Taohuayuan used to grow white heart, which is also a local sweet potato. This kind of sweet potato was used to replace rice when the villagers were unable to eat.

In my grandfather's generation, life was hard, and there was not enough rice to eat, but sweet potatoes could be made vigorously.

Many people of the older generation vomited after eating sweet potatoes, and now they still shake their heads when they see sweet potatoes.

Now that the living conditions are better, they still don't touch sweet potatoes.

Grandpa Sun mentioned it once before.

So Lin Ye didn't ask Xiaobai to send sweet potatoes to Grandpa Sun.

The helplessness of life, the sadness of the times.

Lin Ye took a sip, and it tasted pretty good.

"Xiaohong, cover the sweet potato with a lid to keep it warm. When Miaomiao wakes up, she may want to eat it." Lin Ye said to Xiaohong.

He and Xiaobai picked up their hoes and sacks and went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

Miaomiao doesn't grow many sweet potatoes, only two acres of land. Even though the land is small, the yield of sweet potatoes is still very high. One mu of land can produce one or two thousand catties.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, both magic weapons back then, have become life-saving food for many people in times of famine.

These sweet potatoes, Miaomiao said, are used to wash sweet potato flour.

Sweet potatoes have high yields and are not worth much.

The place of origin charges 4 cents a catty.

Even if an acre of land weighs 2000 catties, it can only be sold for 800 yuan.

So it is really not profitable to engage in agriculture now.

Unless it is contracting hundreds of acres of land and operating mechanizedly, the cost of labor may not be worth the price.

This is also the main reason for labor loss in rural areas.

If you can earn money at home, I believe that many people are unwilling to leave their hometowns and go to work outside.

Take Taoyuan Village as an example. After Lin Ye built the Taoyuan Village scenic spot, many young people have returned.

Earning three thousand at home is better than earning five thousand in a big city.

Going out, no matter what you do, costs money.

Meals, entertainment, and renting a house are not small expenses.

Throughout the year, it may not be possible to save much money.

Of course, if you want to talk about fun, it's still fun in the city.

There are many ways of entertainment, and life is more convenient.

But when the construction of the scenic spot is completed in the future, it will not be too bad.

All supporting facilities will be gradually improved.

Lin Ye and Xiao Bai arrived in the field soon.

Sweet potatoes are easy to survive. Cut a sweet potato stalk and insert it in the ground to survive. After planting, you only need to fertilize once. If you want a high yield, you can weed.

Basically, this is the life of a sweet potato.

Probably one of the easiest crops to grow.

The two lands that Miaomiao planted have not been taken care of very much. This year, there is enough rain, and it may still need to be watered in the dry year. This year, there is no need to water.

Just take a little time to apply some farmyard manure, in addition to weeding, after a few months, it will be ok to come and harvest.

This feeling is actually quite cool.

Lin Ye and Xiao Bai started their journey of digging sweet potatoes.

Before digging, there is one more thing to do, and that is to get all the sweet potato vines.

Sweet potato vines all over the field may seem difficult to deal with, but they are actually very simple.

Lin Ye started from one corner, grabbed the sweet potato vine, and dragged it.

Vine plants, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but the roots are not stable, and they will fall away with a little tug.

After cleaning up the vines, Lin Ye saw that some roots still had one or two sweet potatoes.

Pick off the sweet potatoes, throw them on the ground aside, and pick them up in the sack later.

In about 20 minutes, the sweet potato vines in the two acres of land were cleaned up by Lin Ye.

The next step is to dig sweet potatoes.

Find the root of the sweet potato, go down with a hoe, and lift it up again, and several sweet potatoes have been turned out.

Xiaobai followed suit, went down with a hoe, and dug out a few sweet potatoes.

"Yes, that's how to dig." Lin Ye said to Xiaobai.

Digging sweet potatoes doesn't take much skill.

After Lin Ye taught Xiaobai, he went to the side to rest.

noob? ?
"Brother Ye, I'm the one who co-authored you." The little white man was dumbfounded.

"Of course, you robot, you are not afraid of being tired. If I dig two acres of land, don't you feel tired and panic?" Lin Ye nodded: "Besides, I have other jobs, which are to pack the sweet potatoes you dug out. Bag, come on."

noob
After Xiaobai dug out part of it, Lin Ye began to bag the sweet potatoes.

Some hoes were not placed properly, and Lin Ye threw the sweet potatoes dug in half into the bag.
