Chapter 438 Preparation for Cultivation (1)

During dinner, Fang Lei walked into the kitchen, saw bowls of brown sugar sweet potato soup on the table, and said with a smile: "Let's not eat rice tonight, just use these sweet potato soup to satisfy our hunger?" ”

The master said: "They all said that they had never drunk sweet potato soup, and they wanted to try the taste and try it!" ”

"It's okay to eat one meal a day, but you can't eat it for a long time, it's not good for your health!" Fang Lei said.

At this time, a group of people rushed in, each holding a bowl and eating it in a big gulp, and it seemed that this was the best delicacy in the world.

"Don't worry, everyone, there's still something in the pot! I'll give you enough to eat tonight! ”

The kitchen master saw the wolfing appearance of everyone, and felt very pitiful, could it be that this sweet potato syrup is more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas?

Fang Lei has been wandering outside in the past few years, what delicious food has he not tried? I felt that this taste was not very good, and after eating a bowl, I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "After everyone is full, rest early, and tomorrow we will also plant potato seedlings on the hillside behind. ”

When he said, he went to the bathroom to freshen up, went back to the room to rest, and today he and Ai Liang went to catch piglets, running around and working hard, and they did feel a little tired, and slept until dawn.

Fang Lei thought that he was the last to get up, and after hurriedly washing, he walked to the back hillside to see how many potato seedlings everyone had planted.

He turned back to the valley guard station, and found everyone sitting listlessly on a low stool, looking too weak to even speak.

"These dozen or so young people, it didn't count after eating a meal at dinner, and they asked the master to cook a pot in the middle of the night, but no, when they got up this morning, their stomachs were stuffy, their whole bodies were sore, and they even walked!"

Ai is intuitively funny, fortunately, he is also like Fang Lei, he put down the chopsticks after eating a bowl, he knows that eating things should also be in moderation, not excessive, young people don't care about those, the wind has to sail, and even the mast is torn off.

Fang Lei knew that potato crops had too much starch and were difficult to digest, so they should not eat too much, which would be detrimental to their health, so he said to Ai Qing: "Principal! How do you feel? ”

"Fortunately, I'm just like you, I put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating a bowl, and there is nothing wrong at all!" Ai Qing said.

Fang Lei said: "Then let's go to the mountains to collect some Chinese herbs and come back, boil soup for them to drink, and cure the depression!" ”

Cai Juan felt that girls were also so greedy, and she was very upset on her face, and complained to Ai Liang: "It's all you!" After studying in the countryside for a year, don't you know that eating too much sweet potato soup will cause indigestion? ”

"It's strange, I often eat sweet potato porridge there, and I haven't encountered any problems?" Ai Liang argued.

Fang Lei explained: "The sweet potato porridge you eat in the countryside, with rice, the amount of sweet potatoes is less, plus it is in someone else's house, you don't dare to let go of your stomach to eat, yesterday evening, after you ate a meal, you added another meal in the middle of the night, can you digest it so quickly?" ”

When everyone thought about it, they all understood the truth, why did Lord Ai also eat with everyone, but there was nothing at all?

When Fang Lei and Ai Qing went up the mountain to collect medicine, Ai Liang also led everyone to slowly move the sweet potatoes they received to the open space of the Valley Guard to bask in the sun, so that the starch in the sweet potatoes would be transformed into sugar, which would not only taste sweet and stained, but also be stored for a longer time.

The kitchen master put the mountain herbs into the pot and boiled a large pot of medicinal soup, everyone forced themselves to drink two large bowls, and then stopped, Cai Juan and the four girls were even more powerful, pinching their noses with their left hands, holding the medicinal soup with their right hands, opening their mouths, and pouring them into their throats with "coo-dong-dong", the sound was like a big buffalo that was so thirsty that it couldn't stand it, running to the river to drink water.

It wasn't until the evening that everyone felt that their stomachs seemed to be more comfortable, but no one had the appetite to pick up food, Fang Lei instructed the kitchen master to cook a large pot of gruel, and took a large plate of pickled sauerkraut, and said: "This time in order to let you recover your strength as soon as possible, I am going to force you to eat, as the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, tomorrow everyone must plant the potato seedlings, and enter the preparation work, time waits for no one!" ”

Cai Juan said stubbornly: "Tomorrow I will support my body, and I will plant potato seedlings with everyone, and I can't delay any longer!" ”

The young man is a young man, the next morning, after a full breakfast, everyone recovered their health, and jumped up and down, in fact, the young people of the Immortal Medicine Valley have drunk medicinal food for at least ten years, and bathed in the fairy energy, but their physique is beyond ordinary people, if it is not for their gluttony, there is no problem at all.

In order to reduce the water absorption of potato seedlings and improve the survival rate, the general seedlings only leave two or three leaves, and all the others are removed, and the sweet potato leaves can be used as pig feed, or the tender green ones can be picked out and fried, and when the green vegetables accompany the rice, they are tender and delicious.

The planting method of taking potato seedlings to raise pigs is different from the planting method of taking sweet potatoes to raise people, the planting method of taking sweet potatoes is to pile up a pile of soil and plant them in a single row, and the potato seedlings are planted in a depression to feed the pigs, which is convenient for drainage.

The members of the valley guard rushed to the river to fetch water, and then poured it on the newly planted saplings, Fang Lei, Ai Qing, and Ai Liang used hoes to open the potato seedling pit, Cai Zhengming, Zhang Chi, Cai Juan was responsible for returning to the soil, Zhang Qin, Wu Shuyun, and Huang Shaoying were responsible for placing the potato seedlings.

When it was dark, everyone finally planted the potato seedlings, and Fang Lei said to Ai Qing: "Principal! Tomorrow, you lead the valley people to continue digging sweet potatoes, Ai Liang, Cai Juan and I will go to the town to purchase farm tools, and by the way, we will also buy the cattle back, and you will also arrange the people who herd the cattle! ”

"This is easy! Daoxiang Valley Mountain is full of grass and tenderness, and it will definitely be able to raise the ploughing cattle to be strong and solid, pull up the plow rake, and walk like flying! Ai Qing said with confidence.

Fang Lei said with a smile: "As a farmer's family, who doesn't want a bumper harvest of grains and a prosperous livestock?" ”

Early the next morning, after eating medicinal food, Fang Lei set off with Ai Liang, Cai Juan and four girls, they first went to the farm tool market, bought plows, shovels, hoes and a lot of production tools, all loaded into the carriage.

Fang Lei said: "Cai Juan! You first lead the sisters to pull the farm tools back and put them in the warehouse next to the valley guard's station, and then transport five carts of sweet potatoes to the Immortal Medicine Valley, and let Cai Qiang distribute them to the valley people, so that everyone can taste something new! ”

"At that time, I will also tell Brother Cai and let him tell everyone, don't be like us, too gluttonous, otherwise your stomach will be broken!"

When Cai Juan said this, her face was flushed with shame, as if a child had made a mistake, and lowered her head.

Fang Lei smiled: "Eat a mat, grow a wisdom!" What's so embarrassing about that? ”
