Chapter 144: Trial Seeding
After lying on the bed for the first two days and then unable to get up, Yuan didn't have half a drop of strength on his body, but his heart was relaxed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When she first heard this, she didn't think about herself at all, and she was full of her four daughters.
The gossip outside, although no one deliberately mentioned it in front of her, more or less scraped into her ears in a sentence and a half.
What's more, her sister-in-law also asked her once again, if her uncle really didn't come back, what was she going to do.
What to do?
She didn't know what to do either.
But I always have to raise my four daughters to adulthood.
When they all became a family, she also thought about it, so she went to the sister-in-law temple to save herself, recited scriptures and prayed for her daughters, and there was always a bowl of rice for her.
As the days passed, there was more and more rush, but I didn't expect Qin Lianbiao to come back again.
She didn't want her daughters to go in and out of the same door with the mother and son, let alone the woman who had a lot of children.
But I didn't expect Qin Lianbiao to accept it so easily, although he didn't give her this house in the end, but two hundred taels of silver was enough for her to marry four daughters.
With hope in his heart, Yuan was relieved after lying in bed for three days.
As soon as he was able to struggle to get up, he took his four daughters to clean up the house and the outside, and moved Qin Lianbiao and Grandma Huang's usual belongings into the east house and locked them.
Especially the bamboo bed that Grandma Huang's old hen usually sits on like incubating eggs, which is stuffed in the innermost.
And after such a big tidying up, the house suddenly became much more spacious, and the musty smell that seemed to never go away for dog days disappeared without a trace.
When Yuan felt that he had the strength in his body, when he went to the field again, he no longer brought the pomegranate sisters in and out, and boldly left them at home to take care of housework or play.
Red dates took their sisters in and out of the pepper house, and they no longer had any scruples.
Only for the jujube sisters, it is not quite the same as the Yuan family, the Yuan family finally got rid of the bottomless pit of Qin Lianbiao, but their sisters finally got rid of Grandma Huang.
After all, seriously speaking, the jujube sisters and Qin Lianbiao don't get along much.
Qin Lianbiao is not a father who loves his children, although he is not like Grandma Huang who beats or scolds, but he never has a good face, and the red jujube sisters also dare not look at him with a straight eye.
I didn't get along much as usual, and I didn't see him for half a year. The two slightly older ones were just that, and the little ones Peanut and Longan had almost forgotten what their father looked like.
And when they went in and out of the pepper house, the jujube sisters naturally knew that not all grandmothers in this world were the same as their grandmothers, but they never thought about what it would be like without their grandmother's crying and scolding day (day) and night.
Suddenly, the world was quiet, and I didn't have to listen to Grandma Huang's crying and scolding all the time, only to know that I could hear frogs chirping and birds chirping at home, but I was excited all night sleepless.
The red dates happily whispered to Lilac that they knew, and Lilac looked at the red dates with round eyes, and then dragged them to the back vegetable garden to catch insects, and told them in a cooing voice: "I know that it is delicious when it is fried in oil, but it is not as delicious as the cicada chrysalis." The buffalo is also delicious, and there is a kind of grasshopper, which is called kicking the mountain, which is the largest and the most eating......"
Sichuan pepper was squatting on the narrow ground next to the water fluss with bay leaves to check the cress, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly stood up and called "sister".
Red dates answered, and ran over with their two younger sisters to see: "What are you two doing?" ”
Hua Jiao grinned: "My sister and I grow vegetables!" ”
The red jujube tilted his head, but the always astute Lilac scratched his head and diverted the topic: "Let's go catch the bugs!" ”
When Hua Jiao listened, he smiled.
Since July, Sichuan pepper has been looking forward to white dew day and night.
The cool breeze arrives, the white dew falls, and the dew is condensed and white.
Sichuan pepper has been calculated as early as a year ago, if it is said that last year's production of white celery was actually a coincidence, but this year she plans to take the self-cultivated celery back to the white celery.
I probably know that the vegetable farmers in my hometown in my previous life were all making white celery around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they worked hard for a season, and it happened to be on the market in the lunar month.
But she had long been thinking about making white celery in her experimental field before Daddy Qin made white celery in the early autumn in her experimental field to see if she could survive the temperature.
Therefore, a person who has been muttering at home for a long time wants to make white celery also means to give a preventive shot to the old and young in the family.
After seven and a half months, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
The next day, he pestered his sisters with the fragrant leaves, cut off the vegetable garden, and carefully got up with the roots and stems.
Speaking of which, for most of this year, the celery at home is enough.
There is cress in the spring, and there will be celery to eat this time.
Fortunately, everyone in the family has a different kind of affection for celery, and it is actually cold and stir-fried dumplings, and I have never been tired of eating it.
And the celery that will come out of this time, the pepper picks out the robust celery with uniform thickness, dense internodes, strong axillary buds, no disease and no insects, and then removes the tender shoots and old leaves, and bundles ten into a handful, and cross-stacks them in a dark and cool place under the eaves to promote germination.
Because I was worried that the temperature was too high and the sunshine was too strong, I also covered my head with a wet grass curtain to cool down and moisturize. From time to time, it is sprayed and cleaned with well water to keep the seedlings in a relatively low temperature environment.
At the same time, he tossed up the narrow land where the good white celery was made last year by the water and the pepper was regarded as an experimental field, and dragged the father Qin, who was not in a good mood, to help plough and dry the soil clods, and sprinkle quicklime. And divide this narrow land, make a mark, and apply various colors of rotten base fertilizer that began to be made in the first half of the year.
The day (day) is very busy, and every day I still remember to climb up the bench to look back at the yellow calendar. It was easy to look forward to Bai Lu, and immediately dragged Father Qin to start planting white celery.
Different from last year, this time the pepper and fragrant leaves will promote the budding of three or five celery side by side, head and tail to the ground one by one into the ditch, and then covered with a shallow layer of soil for seeding.
But in any case, I didn't expect that this piece of narrow land with more than one cent would use up more than 100 catties of celery that had been saved for half a year.
Sichuan pepper blinked, but in the end he didn't care about this for the time being, and hurriedly irrigated the celery to keep the moisture and reduce the temperature, and the seedlings that shared the bottom fertilizer of one color were divided into two sides, using well water and spring water on the other.
Only peppercorns don't know what kind of pests and diseases will appear in celery, so they planted marigolds and dill on both sides of this narrow field in the spring.
Speaking of marigolds and dill, these two flowers and plants can already be regarded as the two door gods of the Qin family's vegetable garden, but they are the unique secrets of Qin Lao Niang.
Because marigolds are said to attract scarabs, and they can also kill a nematode that likes tomatoes and green peppers. The flowers of dill can attract a parasitic wasp, which in turn is the natural enemy of cabbage worms, aphids, and beetles.
Regardless of the peppercorns, they got seeds from Qin Lao Niang and planted them densely on the side of the narrow land. After thinking about it again, he also transplanted mint, hoping that the strong spicy smell of mint could dispel insects from settling down.
Everything that can be done has been done, and the pepper has an eye on this white celery.
In addition to irrigation, the most important thing is to artificially reduce the temperature in the field.
Cultivating and weeding, moving dense to make up for thinning, transplanting seedlings to fill in the gap, and after the seedlings are filled, they have chased a thin fertilizer.
Watching the celery scurrying upwards and upwards, one day at a time, Sichuan pepper is really relieved.
In my heart thinking about the progress, if this stubble of autumn in advance of the celery can really be successfully made, then in early August, due to the climate and temperature, should be able to cultivate soil in early September, at most in mid-October, maybe in early October can be harvested.
And this box of pepper fragrant leaves without blinking eyes to serve the test field, all day long is a scrappy little look, that box Qin Daddy is waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival after the full moon, before the rice in the field opens, is also ready to plant the first stubble celery.
