Chapter 52
This is the case in the countryside. After the busy autumn harvest and autumn planting, after finishing here, there is a lot of work.This cycle is repeated, and the farmers do not have much rest throughout the year, and the harvest is not much.Not only did she just finish working on the rapeseed, taking advantage of the rain to rest for a few days, Yao Mei decided to finish her work in the field no matter what and take care of other things.

Potatoes are a crop that every household grows.In the years when food is not enough, people here basically regard potatoes and sweet potatoes as their staple food.This product is not only higher than others in terms of yield, but also quite hungry.

This year, Yao Mei decided to leave some land to grow vegetables, and the rest of the land to grow potatoes.Although they are all planted, there is not much land. The previous rapeseed has already used a lot of land. This time, the vegetable field will have to be cleared, leaving only a few dozen to one hundred acres.

She plans to launch a new food next year, potato flour, and the raw material is potatoes, so she can grow as much as she can grow this year, and if it is not enough, she can buy it outside.

"Ma'am, what are you doing? Aren't you going to use it for planting? Why are you cutting it up?" Ma Shi held the vegetables he had just brought back from the field in his hand, and saw Yao Mei cutting potatoes in the yard. Standing with Aunt Chrysanthemum and the others, she couldn't help but step forward curiously.

"Haha, Mrs. Ma, you don't think Ma'am is going to buy it for food, do you?" Aunt Ju joked unceremoniously.

It was rare to see Aunt Ju's smile so cheerfully, Yao Mei didn't speak and let the two of them quarrel.

"It's all cut up. It's not for eating, but for something. Can it be used for farming?" Hey, Ma Shi still doesn't believe it, it can be used for farming after cutting it up.

"It's just for farming." Aunt Ju bluntly exposed her.

Mrs. Ma curled her lips when she heard the words, and planted the land, so what's so great, if the wife hadn't told you, she would know, and she wouldn't believe it.I didn't bother to tell Aunt Chrysanthemum any more, so I saluted Yao Mei and went to the kitchen with the basket.

After getting along for such a long time, everyone still has a little understanding. Although there is a difference between master and servant, Yao Mei doesn't have so many demands on others, so they gradually let go.

"Do you see clearly how it was cut?" Yao Mei asked.

"Ma'am, you can see clearly, just keep one bud for each piece, and don't leave the parts without buds." Aunt Ju thought carefully about the process of Yao Mei's cutting just now, and stepped forward and said.

"Well, that's it, you guys have a try." Then he handed the knife in his hand to Aunt Ju.

After Mrs. Chrysanthemum took it, she began to cut slowly with Yao Mei's piece of wood. Fortunately, she was used to the work, so she mastered the essentials after a while.Just cut it with a knife in your hand.

"You continue to cut, if you feel hot, move to the roof, and teach them by the way." Yao Mei looked at Qiang Zi and others standing aside.

Qiangzi stood aside and watched intently for a while, and felt that this careful work was really impossible, so he carried a hoe and took the other two out.Before she started cutting potatoes, Yao Mei had already told them how to prepare the ground.So there is no need for Yao Mei to follow.

It's just that I was stopped before I went far. There was no other reason, but I was going to have lunch soon.

In this era without chemical fertilizers, plant ash and farmyard manure are the best fertilizers.

According to some knowledge learned in modern times, Yao Mei mixed livestock dung and plant ash together.Sprinkle plant ash after the seeds are put down.Speaking of which, she has never had the opportunity to practice it in modern times, but after two years of practice, Yao Mei discovered that the effect of doing so is really much better than ordinary planting.

With many people and quick hands, all the potatoes at home were planted in a few days.

Yao Mei, who was idle, began to worry again, fearing that one day Baili Jin would go crazy and come and snatch Beibei away.
