Chapter 5: Preparing to Plant Vegetables
Waking up early the next morning, Zhao Kun ran to the space again, and found that those melons, fruits and fruit trees had grown a lot, and the small puddle had now become a deep pit, which looked like it was at least one meter or more, with a radius of about two squares, Zhao Kun took a wooden bucket and filled a bucket of water, but the water in the puddle was not less at all!
"Brother, it's time for breakfast, Dad said let's pick the fruits after dinner, and we can pick peaches, pears, and bayberry at home!" As soon as Zhao Kun left the room, his sister Zhao Ting came to ask him to have breakfast.
"Here, you eat first, I'll go wash up and come"!
Breakfast is millet porridge and pickles made by their own family, Zhao Kun's mother Fan Xiuhua is also a lady, do a good dish, even if it is the simplest ingredients, to her hands can make delicious, Zhao Kun after breakfast with his sister Zhao Ting to pick fruits, in the seven surnames of Long almost every household will plant a few fruit trees on their own edge, usually do not pay attention to it, and when the season comes, you can grow delicious fruits, the seven surnames Long is located in the south of the Yangtze River, belongs to the temperate monsoon climate, the fruits in the field are generally peaches, pears, Plums and bayberry are dominant.
"Brother, hurry up, we have a total of seventeen fruit trees, and if you are slow like you, you can't finish picking them in a morning!" My sister Zhao Ting is an anxious child, and Zhao Kun can't catch up with her when she follows behind with a basket.
"Come on, don't rush, this mountain road is not easy to walk!" When Zhao Kun hurried to the nearest fruit tree, his sister Zhao Ting had already laid an oilcloth on the ground, and they picked fruits in the countryside unlike those large orchards, basically climbing onto the trees, holding on to the trunks and shaking, and the fruits fell down like snow; seventeen fruit trees, including eight peach trees, five pear trees, and four bayberry trees, as for the plums, they had already passed the season, and they had already been picked!
The brother and sister picked all the fruits in the morning, picked all the fruits, and used baskets to pick back and forth to the house four times, and the last trip, the two baskets couldn't fit, or Zhao Ting wrapped them in oilcloth and carried them home!
"This bayberry is so sweet, brother, you can eat one too!" Zhao Ting picked up a bayberry and stuffed it into Zhao Kun's mouth.
"Well, it's good, it's even better than the ones I bought outside, by the way, I have the clothes I bought for you in my bag, Xiaoting, you go and take them out, and the clothes I washed yesterday morning, they are all dry, they are all stuffed into the bag, take them out and dry them"!
"I've already taken it out for you and washed it again, the clothes are all rancid, and everyone in the family has clothes, so why are you spending that money?" At this time, the mother, Fan Xiuhua, came out of the kitchen, picked up a peach, and ate it.
"Baby, since you have decided to go home and do it, we have no objection, but if you want to do it, you have to do it, don't let people laugh at it, I don't know what you are going to do"?
"Grandpa, I'm ready to grow vegetables"!
"In previous years, our vegetables were rotten in the ground, and there were so many pigs that we couldn't even eat them, so we could make money by growing vegetables?" Zhao Kun's father, Zhao Youliang, said at this time.
"Dad, don't you know, now people in the city like to eat these organic vegetables, and the price is one price a day, and the price is higher and higher day by day, do you know how much organic vegetables in the city sell for a pound? Cabbage costs two yuan a pound, carrots cost six yuan a pound, if peppers, eggplants and beans are on the market, they are all eight or nine yuan or even ten yuan a pound, and there are as many as you want"!
"How much? Peppers cost about 10 yuan a pound? What kind of peppers are these? Is it made of gold?" Grandma was frightened when she heard this, they are rural people, they have lived in the countryside all their lives, and they don't know anything about the things in the city.
In fact, Zhao Kun came back last night and planted some vegetable seeds in the space at home, and when he got up this morning, they have blossomed and borne fruit, and they have grown very big, especially tomatoes, he picked one and tasted it, the taste is called a beauty, and he picked three tomatoes, two cucumbers, loofahs, peppers and beans from the space.
Grandpa Zhao Xianting has been planting all his life, and he has never seen such a big tomato!
"Xiaoting, you go and bring the kitchen knife, cut a tomato and we'll eat it separately, you can taste the taste!" Zhao Kun put those vegetables on the table and smiled.
When Zhao Ting brought a kitchen knife to open all the tomatoes, a fresh fragrance drilled into everyone's nostrils, and each of them picked up a small piece of tomatoes and chewed them in their mouths, closing their eyes one by one, as if they were not eating tomatoes, but eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas!
"This is a new variety that you have researched?" Grandpa Zhao Xianting was the first to ask.
"Yes, this is the new variety I researched, it tastes good, I promise, once this kind of tomato is on the market, the wholesale price will be at least 20 yuan a catty, maybe it's more than that!" Zhao Kun picked up the remaining two tomatoes and cut another one, and just after everything was opened, a few old people rushed to eat it, yes, it was grabbed!
"Our family went to dig the ground in the afternoon and planted all of this new variety of vegetables, maybe Kunzi's wish will really come true!" After Zhao Youliang finished eating three slices of tomatoes, he saw that there were no more tomatoes on the table, and he still looked unsatisfied.
"You dead old man, didn't you want to beat my son on the bench last night?
"It's not that I don't know that there are new varieties!" Zhao Youliang said depressedly.
"Okay, okay, embroidery, you go cook, the two of them are more than 100 years old, and they are arguing every day, let's go dig the ground and grow vegetables if we eat early"!
