Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 61 Antifreeze
When Wen Bo and Wen Hao came back from school in the evening, Wen Hao began to tell Li Xin that Mr. Zhou had promised that everyone could bring the charcoal basin to the academy.I just want to take care of the charcoal basin I brought, and I can't set the academy house on fire.

Today's houses are all wooden structures, and the houses have been built for a long time, so the wood is very dry. Once it is ignited, the consequences will be disastrous.Li Xin also explained Wenbo and Wenhao in detail, and he had to be very careful when using them.

"Eldest sister, I will watch, and I will definitely not burn down the academy." Wen Hao assured Li Xin after seeing Li Xin explaining the same way.

"Okay, big sister believes that you will not. You can only bring charcoal to use in the academy, and you cannot put firewood in it."

"Don't worry, eldest sister, we will both be careful. The master has also explained it well." Wen Bo said.

"Okay, let's have dinner then!" Li Xin said and brought Wen Bo and the others to set up the meals.There are also two charcoal basins next to the dining table, and it is warm after sitting down.The food is also piping hot, and it looks very appetizing.

After dinner, Li Xin washed the dishes and put out the cake.After that, it's time to make wishes, blow out candles, and cut the cake.Li Xin and Wen Bo took out all the gifts for Wen Hao and Yue Xiang.After today, the two twins will be one year older.

The siblings also put small sweet potatoes in the charcoal basin, and they were roasted in a short while.Li Xin specially sent some smaller sweet potatoes to the house, Wen Bo and Wen Hao can eat them when they want.Smaller sweet potatoes are easy to cook, either boiled or baked, and can be eaten in a short time.

They were playing lively and lively, and slowly, Yue Ting had already dozed off, Li Xin saw that it was getting late, so she let her go.There was boiling hot water in the cauldron, and Li Xin took some out to wash for Wenbo and the others. She first washed Yue Ting, who was dozing off, and then went to sleep with Yue Ting in her arms.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wen Bo and Wen Hao went to the academy, Li Xin asked Yue Xiang and Yue Ting to watch the house in the house, while he took Zhu Yong to Zhuangzi.It was really cold these days, and she was afraid that the rapeseed and peas planted would not be able to survive the winter smoothly.And potatoes are almost planted, and breeding of tomatoes and peppers is also on the agenda.Peppers and tomatoes have a long seedling period. If the seedlings are slow to grow, there is no way to plant them in spring.

Peppers and tomatoes should be planted earlier, and the fruiting time will be extended.It was planted too late last year, almost the seedlings withered, and the time to bear fruit was very short.Moreover, many crops still need to be planted in the spring. Not to mention their growth, the yield will be much higher.

Entering Zhuangzi, one can see at a glance that the bleak scene of the past is no longer there. There are green rapeseed and peas everywhere, which are tender and raw, and you want to eat them just looking at them.Li Xin went to the field to check carefully, but they were all cold.The rape seedlings and peas are very tender, and the color is very green, but they don't look like they have been frozen.She also breathed a sigh of relief.

So many fields, if all the rapeseed and peas were frostbitten, what would be the harvest!The seeds didn't cost much, but everyone put a lot of hard work into these fields. If there is nothing to harvest, everyone will be sad, right?

After walking for a while, Li Xin found that some veterans in the field were also carefully checking the rapeseed and peas, probably because they were worried that something was freezing!
"Miss is here!" Seeing Li Xin approaching, those veterans came forward to say hello.

"The past few days have been surprisingly cold. I was afraid that the rapeseed and peas would be frozen. At this time, the rapeseed and peas are so tender that I am most afraid of freezing. Fortunately, I checked and saw that there was nothing wrong. Everyone took good care of them. "

"I've looked around, but I don't think it's frostbitten yet. I'm just afraid that it will be cold again, but maybe it won't happen." An old man said, his eyes full of worry.For farmers, crops are lifeblood!

"How about this! Let's pile up some haystacks in the field! Everyone should be more vigilant these few days. If it suddenly gets colder in the middle of the night, then light the haystacks and put some firewood on fire. It's best to get more smoke. Come out. I heard that it can keep out the cold, but I haven’t tried it, but I just heard that if there is no other way, then try it! Or put some water in the field, which can also avoid severe freezing.” When the weather is too cold, thick frost will fall, and when it falls on the fields, it may form ice cubes.If the field had been irrigated in advance, the freezing would not be too severe, but it could only be tried.Although it will have some effect, but when it doesn't snow, if it snows, I'm afraid it will be useless to do anything.

The land area of ​​several hundred mu is too large, and it is impossible to build sheds for all of them.Farming is really dependent on the sky!Especially in this day and age.

"Then try it according to the method the lady said, it should be of some use!"

"The coldest should be during this period of time. The time will not be too long, so everyone will work harder."

"Don't worry, miss."

After chatting with those veterans for a while, Li Xin went to visit the place where the seedlings were raised.The sweet potato seedlings are growing very well, and there is a shed on them, so there is no need to worry too much about being frozen.If it is really cold, you can also put a few braziers inside.The sheds for tomato and pepper seedlings have already been set up, and they are waiting for the right time to start seedlings.

After turning around, Li Xin also picked some tender rapeseed and pea vegetables, and finally picked a handful of very tender sweet potato seedlings.This is the time when it is tender, you can have a meal, it can be regarded as adding some fresh dishes!There are not many fresh dishes to eat in this season, the most are cabbage and radish, or some bean sprouts, tofu and so on.

After looking around, Li Xin went to the house in Zhuangzi in a carriage.It should be that the early blooming wintersweet in the garden has already opened, blown by the wind, the whole house is full of the fragrance of wintersweet, brought by the cold wind, it is a cold aroma.

"It's so cold, why did Miss come here?" Soon, Mrs. Wang walked in rubbing her hands.Exhale a breath, it is also a white mist.

"It just looked too cold. I was afraid that the rapeseed and peas would not be frozen, so I came over to have a look. Sister-in-law Wang is still out?"

"I also looked around, but fortunately nothing was damaged by the frost. The rapeseed and peas are all good, and the fruit trees have not been frostbitten."

"I've also walked around. If it doesn't get colder, it should be no problem to survive the winter safely."
