Chapter 57: Sustenance
Perhaps the previous expectations have finally been answered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, after two or three days, the rest of the celery plants have passed the planting period smoothly, all of them have grown buds, and the leaves have also stretched.
After drinking enough water and fertilizing them every day, the celery began to grow wildly, and every day it was rising rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the top tips were already more than an inch above the soil.
Sichuan pepper didn't care about being happy, nor did he care about what he felt, calculated the time, and compared the height of celery, thought about it for a long time, and decided to kill this line of celery.
Directly started, soaked the two small earthen walls with water, and pushed down the thoroughly soaked wet soil, completely filling the gaps, and never letting go of the slightest space, tightly fitting the celery.
Xiangye watched the pepper do this, and didn't understand what it was for, tilting her little head and pouting, but she didn't think to ask why, so she followed her and got busy.
Zanthoxylum pepper probably knows that the function of soil cracks is to whiten, celery grows in the soil, and the stems will naturally turn white if they can't see the sun. The second is to tenderize, the celery in the soil has a sufficient supply of water and nutrients, the temperature is stable, and the celery grows naturally and tenderly.
But I didn't know how to explain it to Xiangye, but I was relieved to see it.
In the previous life, the hometown of Sichuan pepper had a set of unique watercress dry breeding technology, which can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty more than 800 years away from modern times.
After all, cress is a wild "cheap thing" in the Yangtze River basin, streams, ravines, fields, and all wet boundaries can grow wildly. And because of the good quality, crisp and tender, fragrant, easy to plant, less insect pests, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, so the people began to artificially cultivate cress a long time ago.
On this basis, after years of accumulation of planting experience, the vegetable farmers in their hometowns hundreds of years ago have created a set of characteristic dry cultivation of water cress and one-time deep soil softening technology of wet soil, and cultivated a unique white celery.
As a well-known local specialty vegetable, white celery stem and white leaves have a lot of perfume, tender, crisp, fresh and sweet taste, and are very well-known.
During the Qianlong period, it was a "tribute dish", even in modern times, for the old family, whether rich or not, if the New Year was not served with this dish, it was not a good reception.
For Sichuan pepper, white celery may not only be a special vegetable to satisfy the appetite. Bai Qin, who suddenly reappeared in her life, has become her dream. Maybe when she didn't know it, it had become a kind of sustenance for her family and nostalgia.
Although Sichuan pepper has only seen others make celery in her previous life, she has never started it, and the whole set of wet soil one-time deep soil softening skills is only known by its name, only knowing about the seven processes, and she does not understand the doorway at all, but she wants to produce high-quality celery.
And celery, which has successfully passed the plant injury period and has survived, is naturally no less than injecting a shot of heart booster into her.
It took a long time to close the gaps in this row of celery, and Sichuan pepper knew that success or failure would be in one fell swoop.
However, Sichuan pepper also knows that the process of celery whitening and tenderization has very high requirements for soil and soil compaction technology. The soil for making celery must retain water, fertilizer, and air permeability, and it is not easy for the celery in the soil to avoid death and decay due to lack of oxygen, and to grow normally, so as not to freeze to death by the severe cold in winter.
But what Hua Jiao knows more is that she is only three years old this year, and if she can't do it in one year, she can try it for two years, two years if it doesn't, even if it's three or five years, ten years or twenty years, she will always try.
Hurriedly washed the handle, and the pepper went out with the bay leaves again.
Now that she can live, she decides to make more celery. In this way, there are more samples.
It's a pity that now she not only can't count, but also can't read, so she has no way to make records. However, with so many brothers and sisters in the family, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task.
Take your time, one step at a time!
Sichuan pepper took a deep breath and led the bay leaves to start digging celery.
However, this time the pepper has experience, and it is natural to dig celery. Although she didn't know what kind of seedlings were suitable for cultivating celery, the truth in the world was always the same, so she only selected those celery with thick and uniform stalks, large and dark leaves, dense internodes, and no diseases and pests.
In the end, I have experience, I took half a basket of celery back to the vegetable garden, broken soil, wet soil, branches, wooden planks fixed, and pressed, not only peppercorns, but also bay leaves.
In this way, it is naturally no more than that day a line of celery for a long time, and today's five-element celery system, before the sun sets, has been completed with tacit understanding and beautiful.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, hugged each other and giggled, but the family touched both feet.
It's just that so much celery has been planted, how can this celery that survived before be completely buried in the soil?
One by one, everyone came to see.
Asked two more little things.
How to wet the soil, how to fix it, how to make it, the head of the bay leaves is the way. can ask why it is so suppressed, and Xiangye only has to shake his head. I tilted my head and thought about it again, but I straightened my small chest and told everyone seriously: "Celery has to be grown like this!" ”
The big guy couldn't cry and laughed, and was speechless.
And the pepper is even more dazed than the bay leaf, even if the tears are about to come out with a smile, there is no point on the face.
I couldn't ask anything, like the second aunt and the fourth aunt and a few little brothers and sisters had to give up, and then think about it, but it was just a child playing around, it was just a joke, not thinking that one was a play, how could there be any reason to say, and turned around and left it behind.
But when Father Qin came back at night and heard about it, he was very interested, and he didn't rush out early the next morning, so he went to the backyard vegetable garden to see the celery under the two little guys.
squatted in the local area and watched it for a long time, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that I couldn't tell that these two little girls of my own had really tossed out an idea. This is similar to those vegetable farmers planting leeks in winter! I just don't know if this celery will turn yellow if it is planted like this.
Holding the pepper and bay leaves, he smiled: "Grandfather is waiting to eat the celery grown by our bay leaves and peppers!" ”
Xiangye squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly, and Hua Jiao also smiled, but he didn't know that his grandfather had roughly seen the Tao in it.
Sending away his grandfather, the pepper counted carefully with his fingers, and after thirty or forty days of cultivation, it should be able to be harvested.
But it was just in time for the New Year.
Sichuan pepper decided to make more celery, led the bay leaves to be busy for a long time, and when it was time to eat, I found that the eldest aunt and the second aunt were not at home.
