Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 104 Yam
The most suitable temperature for yam growth is [-] to [-] degrees Celsius.At the same time, the growth of yam also requires a large amount of water, and the growth environment needs to be kept moist.

The growth of yams also requires sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.

But it is best to have a semi-shady environment. Too strong direct sunlight will be detrimental to the growth of yam.

Therefore, generally speaking, yams are planted in spring.The temperature at this time in spring is suitable, which is conducive to the growth and development of yams.

In summer, when the temperature is higher, yam grows faster.At this time, yam pruning and support construction can be carried out, which will help increase the harvest.

As for the harvest, it is in the autumn.At this time, the underground stems of yam are fully developed and suitable for picking.

It is spring now, and the yams that Wen Xian is digging are the yams that are raising seedlings.

She didn't plan to plant yams in a large area. She just planned to dig up some and raise seedlings to plant in the yard.

As for the rest, she will stay in the mountains until she comes to dig the fruits again in autumn.

"Sister Wen, what is this, medicinal material?" Xue Xiaohua looked at the long stick that Wen Xian dug out, with a puzzled face.

She had never dug anything like this in the mountains before, so she didn't know what it was.

"It's a medicinal material, but it's also a food ingredient." Wen Xian nodded and explained, "This is called yam, which is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. It returns to the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the functions of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, nourishing the spleen, lungs and kidneys, strengthening essence and stopping vaginal discharge. effect."

She changed her voice and said: "Of course, it is even more delicious when used to eat. You can take it back and eat it, fry it, steam it, or stew it."

Looking at the dug yams, Wen Xian was very excited.I thought that after the harvest season, these yams were long gone or too old to be eaten. Unexpectedly, what I dug out were fresh yams that had not yet sprouted.

This fresh yam is really powerful. Not only can it be used as medicine, it can also be eaten as a vegetable.

I guess it was the frequent snowfall in the past few months that turned the entire mountain into a natural refrigerator, which allowed these yams to be so well preserved.

"So good, then I'll come and help dig together." Xue Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and he took out another hoe and started digging with Wen Xian.

Before she went out, she saw that Sister Wen didn't have a hoe, so she took the initiative to bring two of them, but she didn't expect to actually use them.

There were a lot of yams, and Wen Xian dug out a basket full of them from the area in front of her.

But after the basket was filled, Wen Xian stopped and gave half of the yam to Xue Xiaohua.

"No, Sister Wen, you found this. I can't have it. If I want it, I'll look for it later. I can just dig it up when I find it." Xue Xiaohua quickly refused and wanted to return the yam.

She had already taken advantage of the goat milk yesterday, how could she continue to take advantage today.

What's more, if Sister Wen hadn't told her that her mother had turned into a star, she wouldn't have known it.

Sister Wen was right, her mother turned into a star in the sky to protect her.Yesterday she looked at the stars and dreamed about her mother.

Wen Xian waved her hands and said: "No problem, there are so many yams on the left and right. We dug these together, half of each person. If you still want to dig after eating another day, then whoever digs it gets it."

She lowered her voice, pointed to several places to Xue Xiaohua and said: "There, there, and there, there are yams in these places. Xiaohua, if you have finished eating these yams or want to stock up on more, remember to dig up. If so, If your family wants to plant it, come to me and I will teach you how to plant it.”

The more Xue Xiaohua listened, the more anxious she became. When she heard the end, she covered her ears and stamped her feet: "Oh, Sister Wen, why are you saying everything to others?"

When others find these things, they hide them and wish they could all be taken away by themselves.Why did you come to Sister Wen and take the initiative to tell her?

The smile in Wen Xian's eyes deepened, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "What can't be said? We can't finish it. Besides, there are so many in the mountains, and they can't be finished. Even if they are finished, I can still dig them all." Plant it.”

Mainly, there was only half of the basket left, and she wanted to decorate it with other items.

This half basket of yams is enough to last for half a month.You can also select a few roots to grow seedlings, and select a few slices to be dried and used as medicinal materials.When we get back, we can take Sheng Lian'er with us to dig some more baskets, and that's about it.

Wen Xian blinked and reminded Xue Xiaohua: "You have to dig quickly. I will bring your seventh sister up to dig a basket later."

Hearing this, Xue Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Sister Wen, I'll ask my dad to come with me later and dig another basket."

Wait for Sister Wen to dig her up before digging, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

Wen Xian smiled and continued exploring in the mountains.

It's not called a deep mountain, but it's just about a hundred meters farther in than where Xue Xiaohua and the others usually pick.

But within a short distance of [-] meters, in addition to yams, there are also taro, fungus, chicken fir, and even matsutake and pine trees.

What does it mean to have pine trees? It means there are pine cones, and there are pine nuts in the pine cones!
Those were pine nuts, and even in the previous life, they were not cheap to sell.

You can take this kind of good stuff back and eat it yourself, or sell it for money.

However, Wen Xian's backpack was already full, so she could only go back first.

She grabbed some pine cones and put them in her backpack, and tied some firewood to cover the basket, and then she went down the mountain with Xue Xiaohua.

Xue Xiaohua also gained a lot from following her. She even learned how to dress up in a backpack.

Wen Xian thought for a moment and whispered: "Xiaohua, I'm going to come here again later. Come with me and carry a basket on your back. There's something good in that pine cone."

It was her first time going up the mountain today, and Xue Xiaohua showed her the way, and she was willing to share what she had learned today.

Xue Xiaohua's heart warmed slightly, thinking that if she refused, Sister Wen would definitely find a reason to push her back, so she nodded firmly and agreed.

Since it is a good thing, she will pick it up more slowly later, pick up less, and wait for Sister Wen to pick up more.

As luck would have it, when they were going down the mountain, the two of them met Zhang Sansao again.

Zhang Sansao bravely took a look at the baskets carried by the two of them. She only saw some firewood, so she sneered and left in a hurry.

Wen Xian:......

Xue Xiaohua:......

It's hard to describe Wen Xian, she's both good and loving. She must be talking about people like Zhang Sansao.

I was so scared that I still insisted on getting closer.

However, Wen Xian didn't want to pay too much attention to people who didn't matter.After carrying the things back, she called Sheng Lian'er and Fang Jiaren to go up the mountain with her to hunt pine nuts.

Sheng Lian'er and Fang Jiaren also carried baskets on their backs, pretending to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Fortunately, everyone has already gone to pick up a round of mushrooms. Now they are all preparing breakfast at home, and there are not many people outside.

Calling Xue Xiaohua halfway, the four of them quickly walked into the pine forest.

The reason why she didn't call her Xue Carpenter was because Wen Xian felt that Xue Carpenter was a person who would cause trouble.With him around, the goal is too big and can easily lead to disputes.
