Chapter 173: Unheard of
After returning from the village chief's house, Li Yuqing went to the old house and turned over the vacant land in the yard where peppers used to be planted with a shovel and smashed up large pieces of soil.
Then find out the seeds of peppers and tomatoes left over from last year in the house, and then take out some of them and put them in two wooden pots to soak, Li Yuqing plans to soak them overnight, and then plant them in the ground the next morning, so that maybe the germination speed will be faster.
During dinner in the evening, Li Yuqing told Li Yuxin that she would like to get up early tomorrow morning and make breakfast, she has something to do.
Li Yuxin heard that Li Yuqing asked her to cook tomorrow morning, and readily agreed, and reassured Li Yuqing, she promised to make breakfast and eat directly when she came back.
In order to get up early in the morning, Li Yuqing washed up and went to bed early. The next day, just after dawn, I woke up. Quickly got up, washed up briefly, and went to the old house.
When I got to the old house, I saw Li Daniu and his wife picking toons, and looking at the toons that had been piled up on the ground, I knew that they should have been here for a long time.
Li Yuqing stepped forward to greet them, Li Daniu and his wife were very puzzled, they didn't know why Li Yuqing came so early, but before they could react, they saw that Li Yuqing had already entered the old house without waiting for them to say hello.
Sun stabbed Li Daniu beside him, and motioned for him to follow him to see what Li Yuqing was doing, if there was anything he needed help, if he could, he would help.
Li Daniu understood what Sun meant, and slowly walked out of the gap between the toon trees. glanced at Sun, who had already bent down to continue picking, and it was like walking in an old house.
When I entered the old house, I saw Li Yuqing pouring water into the bucket with a wooden basin, and a white cloth was placed on the barrel. Li Daniu saw Li Yuqing's hard look, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yuqing, what are you doing?
Li Yuqing turned her face when she heard the voice, and when she saw Li Da Niu coming over, she put down the wooden basin she was holding in her hand with a puzzled face, "Uncle Da Niu, aren't you picking toons with Aunt Osmanthus!" ”
As soon as Li Yuqing's words fell, Li Daniu walked over, "What are you doing when you meet you, pour water into the bucket with a wooden basin, why do you still put a piece of cloth on it, is there something in it?" ”
Li Yuqing heard Li Daniu ask this, afraid that he would think that he was idle and bored and had nothing to do, so he quickly pointed to the white cloth on the bucket and explained, "This is what you said, the seeds I soaked in this wooden pot last night, and I plan to come over and plant them this morning, but this kind of seeds are too small, I can't take them out, so I can only use a piece of cloth to filter them out." ”
After listening to Li Yuqing's explanation, Li Daniu understood what Li Yuqing was doing, but then asked puzzledly, "What seeds, I still need to soak them when planting, why haven't I heard of them?" ”
Li Yuqing heard Li Daniu ask, and smirked twice, "It's a new breed, one is the spicy seed you saw last year, the pig I fried in the water, and the other is Liu Changyu helped me find it, I guess you haven't heard of it, its name is tomato."
After listening to Li Yuqing, Li Daniu understood, thought of what Li Yuqing said in the processing plant yesterday, and asked curiously, "Yuqing, didn't you say it yesterday in the processing plant, looking for someone to cultivate seedlings, that is, to cultivate these two." ”
"Uh-huh," Li Yuqing nodded
"According to what you say, you don't plan to plant a lot of these things this year," Li Daniu said with a frown.
"Well, I'm going to plant all the land I bought earlier with these two crops. ”
"What? You said that you plan to plant these two kinds of things on the dozens of acres of land you bought before, Yuqing, aren't you kidding, why do you plant this kind of thing? Spicy seeds are so spicy, we don't like to eat them, if you like to eat them, just plant a little, just keep them for your own food, the other is even more unheard of, why waste so much land to plant them?"
Li Yuqing listened to Li Da Niu's words full of black lines, and sighed helplessly and said, "Uncle Da Niu, I plant these things to be useful, not to satisfy my own appetite, you can rest assured of this, anyway, you won't lose money if you plant it."
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I've never heard of this kind of thing, what use can it be to grow it. ”
"Secret"
knew that Li Daniu didn't understand the use of chili peppers and tomatoes, so no matter how much he told him, he didn't understand or couldn't understand, Li Yuqing didn't bother to explain to him slowly, and directly used the word secret to replace all the explanations, no matter how Li Daniu asked, she was also tight-lipped, and didn't want to say a word, she asked several times in a row, Li Yuqing didn't say, and slowly Li Daniu gave up, so she could only wait for Li Yuqing to finish planting and see what she would do.
Helping Li Yuqing filter all the seeds in the two wooden pots, Li Daniu asked Li Yuqing how to plant this kind of seeds, and he helped her plant them together.
Thinking that Li Daniu still had to help Sun pick toons, Li Yuqing didn't want to trouble him, and besides, in fact, planting peppers and tomatoes now is very simple, because it is only the seedling stage, as long as the seeds are mixed with the soil, sprinkled in the ground and watered, it is almost the same. So Wanyan refused Li Daniu and asked him to continue to help Sun pick toons, Li Daniu knew that Li Yuqing didn't want to trouble him, so he refused to live or die, so he insisted on helping Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing was helpless, no matter what she said about Li Daniu, she didn't believe it, so Li Yuqing didn't care about him, and was ready to prove with her actions that she wasn't lying. Find a small wooden pot directly, pour the chili seeds into the wooden pot first, and then go outside to dig a little fine soil, squat on the ground and stir. Feeling that the seeds and soil were fully stirred together, Li Yuqing stood up, grabbed the seeds and soil inside with a wooden basin, and sprinkled them directly into the ground that was turned over yesterday, and sprinkled them over and over again in the ground that was turned over yesterday.
Li Daniu looked at Li Yuqing's movements, and was directly stupid, he didn't expect that there would be someone, such a thing is unheard of.
Even the Sun family, who had been picking toons at the beginning, and when he heard Li Daniu speak, he happened to witness all this, and he was dumbfounded, and quickly got out of the fragrant spring tree, looked at Li Yuqing anxiously and said, "Yuqing, aren't you stupid?" Why do you grow things like this? It looks like the seeds of such a young and old are going to be wasted. ”
Li Yuqing was completely speechless to Li Daniu and his wife, knowing that they cared about her, but their performance was a little too exaggerated. However, looking at the Sun family, after speaking, she stretched out her hand to pick up the ground where she had just finished sowing seeds, Li Yuqing hurriedly went to stop her, "Aunt Osmanthus, what are you doing here? It doesn't mean that you want to see if you can find the seeds! If that's the case, don't bother with that, this seed is too small, you can't see it in the ground, and besides, this thing was originally planted like this." ”
After listening to Li Yuqing's words, Sun Shi paused, and it seemed that Li Yuqing had guessed correctly, withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air, and looked at Li Yuqing embarrassedly, "Yuqing, what are you planting, why is the planting method so strange." ”
"Spicy seeds, I planted them last year. ”
Sun heard Li Yuqing say it was spicy, and thought that she had indeed planted it last year, and she had eaten it and fried it herself, so she let go of her heart hanging in the air. (To be continued.) )
