cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 94 Picking Melons
After leaving the bamboo corridor, I felt the power of the scorching sun outside. It was almost noon, the sun was high, and it was the hottest time of the day, but Zhang Wei and Sun Xiaolei were busy, and Zhang Wei could only do it by stepping on a stool. Pick the cucumbers from a high place, pick one and hand it to Sun Xiaolei below, and then Sun Xiaolei carefully put the cucumbers into the foam box in the bamboo basket, the tender cucumbers with thorns on the top, how can they be called tender cucumbers without flowers, so , Sun Xiaolei is very careful to always keep the cucumber flowers that have not faded on it.One picks, the other puts. In a short while, two bamboo baskets have been picked, and the large cucumbers on the two racks can be counted as seven or eight. The ones that can be picked are more than eight taels or a pound. Most of the large cucumbers on the shelf that weigh less than half a catty are kept and picked the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Wei's cucumbers are quick to pick and grow fast. It takes three or four days to grow to half a catty, and a catty of cucumbers does not exceed a week at most. Such cucumbers have not even faded their flowers, or they are tender. No wonder, although it looks quite thick, it is crispy and tender when you eat it. You can't see the old cucumber seeds in it at all, and it tastes thirst-quenching. Taking one before a meal can increase your appetite.

To be honest, it would be better if you walk around under the scorching sun in summer, but if you stand still in one place, your scalp will be tanned and tight in a while.This girl Zhang Wei has succeeded in building a foundation and is already a land fairy. The sun really can't do anything to him at this point. After picking cucumbers for such a long time, he is climbing high and drilling. Sweating, Sun Xiaolei was different. After a while, he was sweating all over his body, and his sweatshirt was stuck to his back. He muttered that he was hot, and kept gnawing on big cucumbers to quench his thirst.However, during this period of time, two people have been picking them. Although it is very hot, they can still bear it.

Zhang Wei's mother and Sun Xiaolei's mother originally wanted to help them pick cucumbers, but the two who had not been exposed to the sun became dizzy and hot and flushed within 5 minutes of going outside.Although the weather in June is not the hottest, matches can be lit under the sun. Although the two feel sorry for their son, they have to give up and have to go to the bamboo corridor to enjoy the shade.

Zhang Wei's family members and Sun Xiaolei's family members also know each other, so the two mothers are quite familiar with each other. Today, I don't need the two of you to cook. Let's help with the work. The sun outside can't stand it. Although I feel sorry for my son, but There is no way, who made them physically ill? If they were at home, the air conditioner would have to be turned on in such hot weather.However, just under the bamboo corridor, not only is the air fresh, but it is also more comfortable than staying under the air conditioner.

Zhang Wei has quick hands and feet, and the two of them are used to cooperating. He picked the cucumbers and tomatoes and put them in the basket in more than an hour. The inside of the basket is inlaid with foam boxes, which are not afraid of shaking when running, and can be well protected. vegetable.

The watermelons are now replaced by foam boxes, and the space inside the foam box is also oval. It is almost perfect to put the watermelon in. Even if there is a gap, you can also put some grass in it. You are not afraid of the watermelon shaking back and forth, because the road conditions are really bad. Well, adding that the skin of the watermelon is thin and easy to explode, Sun Xiaolei once crashed two or three of them on the way back to the provincial capital, and finally thought of this method, not only can it be filled with more watermelons, but also can be pulled more. Like before, if tomatoes and watermelons are pulled together, it will not be finished.

However, even so, the space in the trunk of a pickup truck is too small, and it would be a big deal to fill it up.Zhang Wei and Sun Xiaolei carried the cucumbers and tomatoes to the front yard and sprinkled some cold water from the well, making sure that the cucumbers and tomatoes would not be visible at all when they left, as if they were freshly picked.But I know that at this time, the temperature of more than 30 degrees can evaporate more than half of a bowl of water in the sun for a day, not to mention the pickled cucumbers and red tomatoes. After a few hours, it will be ready, but, As long as there is water in Zhang Wei's dish, he is not afraid at all, and it will become tender again after a while.This is also a characteristic of Zhang Wei's vegetables, that is, small green vegetables are like this, not to mention cucumbers and tomatoes.

After picking cucumbers and tomatoes, the next step is to pick watermelons. It’s more like cutting than picking. Zhang Wei held a pair of large scissors in his hand, and looked around in the melon field to see which one was bigger. Then, this one The melons can be picked, and they are guaranteed to be more than 40 catties.In fact, the watermelons that can be exposed on the melon seedlings are almost all melons weighing more than 30 catties, and they can be picked in four or five days at most.

Unlike tomatoes and cucumbers, watermelons need to be picked as much as a dozen. Zhang Wei searched for large watermelons in the melon field and cut them off. Sun Xiaolei then carefully carried them away and put them in foam boxes.In less than half an hour, the two finished packing a dozen large watermelons... The small greens in the front yard are usually pulled out before they are loaded into the car, so as to maintain maximum moisture and freshness of the vegetables.Anyway, there are only two to three hundred catties of vegetables, and they can be pulled up very quickly.

A dozen or so large watermelons are very conspicuous after being picked off and stacked together, but they are nothing to the large watermelons in the yard. At the beginning, there were only a few dozen large watermelons in the backyard. Yes, there must be three or four hundred, but there are more and more big watermelons in this backyard.Now if you count more than 30 catties of watermelons, it is estimated that there are three or four hundred. If you don’t deal with it, it is estimated that after a while, only big watermelons will fill the land. Therefore, sometimes Zhang Wei I was just thinking, should I cut off part of the next crop of watermelon, so as to save too much watermelon and crush the watermelon seedlings?

"Brother, your watermelon is very evil. The more you sell, the more it sells. Did you do something evil?" Sun Xiaolei obviously also noticed this problem. Generally speaking, it is good if the watermelon can maintain a balance. The melons in Zhang Wei's backyard are not missing, and there are more and more. When you pull out the melon seedlings, the small watermelons below are covered with ground again. You said that this acre of backyard is the pig manure that you put on three or five carts. The fertilizer effect should be exhausted, but not only does this melon seedling not show any signs of decay, but it also grows stronger and stronger. Other watermelons can receive two crops of melons, which means that the bottom is full of fat. Zhang Wei's melons are so good, they are not I can't distinguish the stubble, as long as the watermelon is dragging seedlings, it will bloom and bear watermelon, and it will bloom and become a big watermelon when it becomes a melon.

Others may not know how many watermelons were sold, what happened to the watermelon seedlings, Sun Xiaolei came to pick melons every day, it would be strange if they didn't know.I thought that the hot summer melon seedlings would be defeated, but they were still growing fiercely, so Sun Xiaolei had no choice but to doubt it.

"Cough. Cough." Zhang Wei heard Sun Xiaolei say that the evil method was used, and the tomato juice in his mouth was choked, and he coughed. The evil method was not used, and even the fairy method was not used. "Hey, I said you What the hell did you say that about your brother, you watched me cast a spell with that eye, besides, buddy casts spells, it’s also immortal spells."
