The name of the person invited was Lin Ashui, and he was about forty years old. He was a native of Fuzhou Prefecture and had a wonderful painting skill, so he was called to work on the mountain. His family also has more than a dozen acres of land, and he used to grow sweet potatoes when he was in his hometown.

Such a person, Lian Man'er's family is naturally treated as guests. First, he was entertained with good tea and water, and then he asked Lin Ashui how to make sweet potato seedlings and how to plant sweet potatoes.

Lian Man'er only has these dozens of catties of sweet potatoes in his hand, although Lin Ashui said that he would, but in order to be safe, he still has to make sure that Lin Ashui really has this ability before he can do it.

Lin Ashui spoke in his hometown, and Lian Man'er had a hard time listening to it. Fortunately, they opened their shops earlier, and there were people from all over the world, and they also had some understanding of the dialect in the south, Chapter 275, and the sweet potato seedlings. And Lin Ashui said while making a comparison, even keeping promises is also an experienced crop handle, the so-called one know-how knows all kinds of tricks, and after running in for a while, he can understand Lin Ashui's words.

Lian Shouxin also raised many questions and suggestions, and discussed with Lin Ashui how to cultivate sweet potato seedlings is the most suitable. Lian Man'er combined her own memories and carefully put forward some suggestions. In the end, the big guy finally agreed on a set of seedling breeding plans.

The first is soaking. This was proposed by Lian Man'er. To soak the sweet potatoes in warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius, soak for about 10 minutes. Many varieties of crops are soaked in advance when they are cultivated. So no one thought Lian Man'er's proposal was strange.

There is no thermometer, but Lian Man'er knows that the skin of the human body is more than 30 degrees, and he tests the temperature of the water with his hands, and feels warm in this season, but it is not too hot, so the temperature is about the same. At the time of soaking. Stir the sweet potatoes constantly so that they are evenly heated.

After soaking. It's sweet potato diced. This is very similar to cutting potatoes into pieces to raise seedlings. About one or two sweet potatoes can be cut into four or five pieces.

Cutting is a delicate job, and only two hands, even the two of them, Shouxin and Lin Ashui, even the Zhang family, can only watch the sweet potato seedlings in Chapter 275 on the side. There are specialized tools for dicing. It is carefully stored by Lian Shouxin. It was a knife about an inch long and about the same width. There is no handle, just the blunt side embedded in the wooden block. The wooden block is wrapped with coarse cloth and thick beef tendons to make it easy to hold the knife. The blade of the knife is so sharp that it is only used when cutting potato cubes to raise seedlings. I usually put it away. lest anyone accidentally cut it.

After the seed pieces are cut, it is time to put the seedlings into the bed. Lin Ashui said that most of them raise seedlings in the open seedbed. However, on the side of Thirty Miles of Camp, the current climate is obviously much colder than that of Fuzhou Mansion. In this case, the emergence of seedlings will be relatively late.

"Then why don't we spread a seedbed on the kang?" Lian Man'er said.

They used to use the kang to dry peanuts, and many vegetable seeds also used the temperature of the kang. before the germination was successful. Then, use the kang as a seedbed to cultivate sweet potato seedlings. What's not to do that?

Lin Ashui is in Fuzhou Mansion, and there is no such thing as a fire kang. He came to the mountain for a few months, saw all the wonders of the fire kang, thought for a while, and said that this method should be fine.

"Okay, let's use the ondol." Even Shouxin nodded.

Even Shouxin nodded, there is a basis. This year's potato seedbed was laid on the inside of the house. This emergence, which is relatively slow. Some people are late in raising seedlings, and some put them on the kang to raise seedlings. This kind of seedling emerges quickly, but the temperature of the kang must be controlled. The kang is burned several times a day, and it needs to be carefully cared for.

Lian Shouxin is quite confident in mastering the temperature of the ondol.

"It just so happens that the kang in our new house has just been plated, and it is time to burn the fire to remove the moisture." Zhang said.

Finally, the seedbed of the sweet potato seedlings was set up on the kang that had just been plated in the new shop, and the sand used for the seedbed was also the finest and best sand, and the fine manure was mixed as fertilizer.

During the day, Zhang and Lian Man'er were responsible for lighting the fire and taking care of it, and at night, Lian Shouxin simply slept in the new house, and got up in the middle of the night to feed the little cattle, burn the kang, and take care of the seedbed. Needless to say, this kind of hard work, but thinking about the prospect of producing thousands of catties per mu, no matter how hard and tired it is, the hearts of the husband and wife are also willing.

On this day, she slept until midnight, and even Man'er got up at night to go to the thatched house, and Zhang was afraid that she would be scared, so he also got up to be her companion. Lian Man'er relieved her hand, her sleepiness dissipated a little, and she suddenly had a whim.

"Mother," Lian Man'er said to Zhang, "Let's go to the new house in Miaotou to have a look." ”

"Three shifts in the middle of the night, go back to sleep with me. Let's see, let's see it tomorrow morning. Zhang said.

"Mother, when you were about to go to sleep, you said that you were afraid that my father would fall asleep in the new house or something." Lian Man'er didn't stop there, but continued to lobby the Zhang family with a smile, "Let's just take a look, it won't take much effort." ”

"So, let's take a look?" Zhang's was moved by Lian Man'er's words. She was really a little worried about keeping her word.

"Well, let's go now." Lian Man'er said immediately.

The two of them went back to the house and put on their clothes neatly. Lian Zhi'er also woke up at this time, and when she heard Lian Man'er say that she was going to the temple shop, she smiled and pointed at Lian Man'er.

"Oh, why do you say you're always so energetic, it's three watches in the middle of the night."

Even though Lian Zhi'er said this, she got up and put on her clothes and went with them.

"The moon is so bright, we don't even need to light a lantern." Out of the gate of Lian's house, Lian Man'er said.

The night sky is very clear, although there is only a crescent moon, it can still illuminate the road under the feet of the three mothers. It was almost the third watch, and the village was silent, except for the sometimes distant barking of a dog, which was very short and not terrible. It wasn't like it had found anything, but it was like the barking of some domestic dog in a sweet and quiet sleep.

The air at night is exceptionally clean and cold. The crescent moon dragged the shadows of the mother and daughter on the ground.

"Hee-hee." Lian Man'er only felt unusually calm and serene, and somehow, she smiled.

"Man'er, what are you laughing at?" Lian Zhi'er took Lian Man'er's hand, and after saying a word to her, she also laughed.

"Don't laugh at you, we're in the middle of the night." Zhang's Road.

J: "When we arrive, scare and scare our father." Lian Man'er said to Lian Zhi'er.

Lian Zhi'er just laughed and didn't speak. Lian Man'er thought that Lian Zhi'er would not play pranks with her, if it was Xiao Qi, it would be different.

"Don't be naughty, your dad doesn't know where to go, what should you do if you really scare him." Zhang said angrily.

"I'm talking about fun, hee-hee." Lian Man'er laughed again.

Lian Man'er stopped talking, just raised her face and looked at the sky. There is no polluted sky, there seem to be a lot of stars, starlight and moonlight, the beauty is intoxicating.

When he arrived at the head of the temple, across the official road, Lian Man'er saw candlelight in the new shop, and a wisp of light smoke on the chimney on the roof was slowly rising into the night sky.

"It's a coincidence that we're here, my dad must be burning a fire." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Man'er was right, Lian Shouxin heard the knock on the door, put down the firewood in his hand, and opened the door to let them into the house.

"Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"Dad, my mother is afraid that you won't sleep well here, so I have to come and see it." Lian Man'er said deliberately.

"This kid." Zhang's ~~-Update Debut~~'s face was slightly red, "It's not that you're coming, it's also your mother who is here." ”

"What's wrong with sleeping badly," Lian Shouxin believed that it was Zhang's worry about him, so he would come over in the middle of the night. "The dampness on the kang is gone, and I lie down on the kang, which is no different from at home."

"That's good, I'm afraid that the house will be damp, and you will sleep on your waist." Zhang whispered, "Have you fed the cow, or I'll feed it, you can rest." ”

"The cow that was fed first, after this fire is burned, I can sleep until dawn." Even kept his faith and said, "I don't have anything to do, don't worry about it." ”

Leaving Zhang and Lian Shouxin to light the fire and talk in the outhouse, Lian Man'er took the candlestick from the side and pulled Lian Zhi'er into the inner room.

Lian Man'er held the candlestick on the seedbed and looked at it little by little.

"Ah, it's sprouted. The sweet potato sprouted. Lian Man'er cried out happily.

Once Lian Man'er spoke and said that sweet potatoes were sweet potatoes. For the sake of roundness, she said that sweet potatoes look like melons, and if they grow in the ground, they should be called sweet potatoes. In fact, in her previous life, she always called sweet potatoes sweet potatoes, but rarely called sweet potatoes the scientific name.

The big guys were not suspicious, but quickly accepted the name of sweet potato. Because the name sweet potato has a more local flavor than sweet potato, it is more in line with their living habits.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly came over, and then by candlelight, he could really see short potato sprouts emerging from the seedbed. The sprouts are small, just emerging, and if you don't look closely, you will really ignore the past.

"It really sprouted." Lian Zhi'er said.

When Zhang and Lian Shouxin heard it in the outhouse, they all rushed in, and they were very happy when they saw the sweet potatoes sprouting.

"This is just the beginning," said Lian Shouxin after he was happy, "This thing is more energy-consuming than potatoes, and it can only be relieved until the seedlings have grown." ”

"That's," Zhang nodded with a smile, "It's not easy to be our farmer." ”

Even Man'er actually knows this truth. For example, seedling cultivation requires patience and technique. The same is the farmer's family, some people do not cultivate potato seedlings well, every year to the season of planting potatoes, Qingyang Town's big market, there will be potato seedlings for sale, and it is very popular.

"Dad, mother, I'm happy because the sweet potatoes are sprouting now, doesn't that mean that the methods we use are all right?" Lian Man'er smiled.

"Hmm. Man'er is right, let's cross the river by feeling the stones, and these days, my heart is also carrying it. It's budding now, and it's finally not ruining the good things. "Even keep the word.

The sweet potatoes sprouted and grew leaves within a few days.

On this day, Lian Man'er had lunch in the shop, and was about to check the growth of sweet potato seedlings when he heard the sound of a carriage outside.

"Oh, Steward Zhong, please come to the house."
