Chapter 13 Whimsical, Grow Lettuce in the Sand!

Night.

Under the endless night, the stars are shining.

Zhu Ling and Liu Quan dragged their tired figures back from the field and passed through the courtyard.

Liu Xingwang stopped them when he saw it.

There was delicious fish soup in the refrigerator, as well as half a pot of fragrant rice, he knew that at this time, his parents would have to cook their own rice when they went back, and they would have to cook it for Niu Mengmeng and Liu Hang first.

Because he knows that his parents have dental problems and can't eat hard rice, and Niu Mengmeng and Liu Hang are just the opposite, if the rice is thin, they will definitely scold their mother.

Liu Quan was stunned when he heard Liu Xing's voice calling for dinner, knocked the ash of the pipe, swallowed the words in his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and said to Zhu Ling: "Let's go, see your son's cooking skills." ”

Zhu Ling slapped her sore back, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with relief: "Xingzi, I and your father appreciate your kindness, your father and I should go back quickly, your brother and they will be hungry again." ”

Liu Xing was a little angry when he heard this, his mother is such a character, kind and nosy, if you are not there one day, will Liu Hang's family still starve to death?

He grabbed Liu Quan's arm, and said in a deliberately loud voice: "Dad, if Mom wants to go back, let her go back, I won't keep her, you go alone to taste the boiled fish I made, but first declare, the fish was eaten by me, and there is only a big bowl of fish soup." ”

Liu Xing knew that his mother only ate one or two bites of fish when she entertained Wang Meng at noon today, and looked at Wang Si who was drinking the soup, and it was estimated that he would definitely think of the unique delicacy when he heard him say the words boiled fish, so he wanted to indulge in it.

He didn't believe that he threw such a fragrant bait, and his mother was not fooled.

Really.

Zhu Ling's steps stopped, her fat body trembled, and she looked back at Liu Xing with a light in her cloudy eyes: "You said you boiled boiled fish?" ”

Liu Xing smiled silently, raised his thick eyebrows, and stretched out his index finger to "meow" twice: "Why are you looking at me, you want to drink fish soup and follow me!" ”

"Nothing big or small"

Zhu Ling cracked her somewhat dry lips and smiled, her face full of vicissitudes of life and wrinkles showed a rare happiness, and she happily walked into the courtyard under the embrace of Liu Xing's invitation

Liu Xing and the other parents were full, and took the tomatoes washed from the ethereal ring to make them feel refreshed.

The second elder ate with relish, Zhu Ling ate a fist-sized tomato and took a bite hard, licked the residual juice of the remaining tomato at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Liu Xing, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, suspiciously: "Xingwazi, did you pick this tomato in our field?" Why does it taste 10,000 times better than what I usually eat? ”

Liu Xing smiled faintly, stopped washing the dishes in his hand, and was about to perfunctory the matter of the ethereal tomato, Liu Quan drank Zhu Ling lightly: "If you eat it, you can eat it, your son's tomato was not picked in our field, is it impossible to steal it?" With your son's character, he can't do petty theft. ”

"Then the taste of this tomato is really very different from what we usually eat at home!" Zhu Ling looked at Liu Quan suspiciously.

Liu Quan finished eating the tomatoes, burped, lit a dry cigarette beautifully, and pretended to be very meaningful: "You don't know this, these tomatoes are your son's filial piety, and we as parents will eat them, of course we will feel this way." Did you know? This feeling is on the Internet, what is it called! That's right, it's called a feeling of happiness. ”

"I see" Zhu Ling suddenly realized, lowered her head and continued to eliminate the tomato in her hand. But looking at her appearance, she seems to have something on her mind, and looking at Liu Xing in the kitchen, she has a kind of sorrow.

Liu Xing listened to the conversation between his parents in the hall, and he was happy in his heart, and said in his heart that his father was really talented, and this explanation could also be said. However, he was happy to hear it in his heart, and his parents could come to his house for dinner tonight, and he did feel a warm sense of happiness. It seems that as long as there is a chance in the future, I have to ask my parents to come to the courtyard for dinner, so that the second elder can enjoy the blessings.

was holding the washed dishes and chopsticks in his hand and putting them in the cupboard, at the other end of the herring fish reservoir, he faintly heard Niu Mengmeng yelling at Liu Hang's charter wife, "Why hasn't your wife come back to cook?" ”

As soon as Zhu Ling heard this, she knew that something was wrong, so she anxiously pulled Liu Quan and ran out, and said without looking back: "Xing'er, your father and I will go first"

"Wait a minute, Mom and Dad, you can bring a few tomatoes back to eat!" Liu Xing frowned, took out a few tomatoes from the space ring and walked out of the kitchen. Xindao Niu Mengmeng is really okay as a daughter-in-law, her parents don't come back to cook for a day, and she is embarrassed to be mad.

"Come back tomorrow!" Liu Quan's words did not fall, but Zhu Ling ran back, picked up the tomato in Liu Xing's hand and left.

“”

Liu Xing looked at his parents who were walking hurriedly under the moonlight, he was vaguely worried, his parents were yelled at by Niu Mengmeng like this, and sooner or later something would happen, so he had to think of a way.

Qingshi Village is far away from the city, and the road is not a cement road, let alone the network cable is involved at home, so it is impossible to surf the Internet at home, fortunately, Liu Xing came back with a notebook and a wireless network card.

The information he wanted to check on the Internet was to see how much peaches were sold for a pound on the market, as well as melons and watermelons, after all, the fruits and vegetables in the ethereal ring were about to ripen, so it was not good to waste them in vain, but when Liu Xing searched for the prices of these vegetables and fruits, it was like a pour of cold water poured on him.

"The wholesale price of peach is eight cents, watermelon is four cents, melon is a piece, tomato is only six cents, and Chaotian pepper is one."

"It's so cheap, it's better to rot in the ethereal ring."

Liu Xing was a little disappointed, now he finally knows why his parents are living so hard, and he strongly opposes his return to the countryside to develop, the vegetables and fruits that he has grown so hard are so worthless, to say something unpleasant, it is better to go to the street to be a beggar and be free.

But his parents relied on farming to support him through college and prop up a blue sky that belonged to them.

My heart is a little sour when I think of this.

He absentmindedly browsed the information on the web at will, remembering the red gold arowana he caught during the day today, he searched for the price a thousand degrees, and when he looked at the price, the whole person was stunned, the red gold arowana he caught actually cost hundreds of thousands?

And looking at the appearance in the photo, it is only two catties, compared with the more than ten catties that I caught on my own, it is simply incomparable.

No wonder Zhu Xiao drank the red gold arowana that Liu Jinhua rushed to catch today!

Myself

Today I lost a lot.

rubbed his face and finally calmed down the mood of being cheated by Zhu Xiao.

I suddenly remembered my parents who had been working hard in the field to take care of watermelons in the past few days, as if they said that the price offered by the seller was too low, and they would wait a little longer to sell it.

However, the dragon king meteorometer said that there will be three months of continuous rain in Shonan Province in the near future, and if it is the rainy season, the parents' more than ten acres of watermelon fields will be miserable. Now I don't buy three or four cents a pound, and when the watermelon rains absorb too much, no one wants the fried melon, but it will be troublesome, and if you have time another day, do you want to find an opportunity to remind them to sell the watermelon early?

Liu Xing counted on his fingers.

Now at the beginning of September in the solar calendar, according to the lunar calendar, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in another twenty days, if it is really like the meteorometer said that the rain will last for three months, it will almost be the New Year, then his plan to grow vegetables in the fertile fields to absorb the aura will really become empty talk this year.

It's going to rain for three days, and I'm afraid that the cabbage grown in the backyard of the courtyard will be soaked and rotten by the rain.

Got the ethereal ring, but God didn't let him plant things, Liu Xing felt a little lost and helpless, he sighed and said to himself: "It's raining for three months, do you want me to plant vegetables in the purple sand field behind my grandfather's courtyard that doesn't grow grass and doesn't store water?" ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to turn off the computer to sleep, when suddenly his head flashed, and he muttered back to what he had just said: "If you can't grow vegetables in the rainy field, then plant them in the sand field on the mountain?" Hahaha"

Liu Xing slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "I'm so smart, if it really rains heavily for three months as the meteorometer says, it is not impossible to plant vegetables on the sand where the birds don't and lack water, but the premise is to test whether the sand is alkaline or acidic, what kind of vegetables are suitable for planting, and make full use of the rainy season of these three months to reach maturity of vegetables, so isn't the aura needed by the Ethereal Ring handy?" ”

Do what you think.

Liu Xing hurriedly searched for which vegetables on the Internet could ripen in three months in the purple sand field of his hometown, of course, provided that the possibility of drought and water shortage was ruled out.

He searched this time, only found three kinds, the first is sweet potato, there is no requirement for soil quality, and the climate adaptability is strong, as long as there is no long-term shortage of water, there is no problem with a bumper harvest, but the growing season and the six-month harvest cycle made Liu Xing give up it.

The second is snow peas, which are very suitable for planting in sandy fields, but there is one thing that Liu Xing doesn't like, that is, the yield of snow peas is quite low, and the ripening cycle time is more than three months, which is not the best choice.

The third is the lettuce that he can't imagine, the growth cycle is three to four months, if the rain and nutrients are sufficient, it can definitely be harvested within three months, and the most important thing is that it can adapt to the growth of sand land, and the yield per mu is quite amazing, it can reach two to thirty thousand catties per mu.

"Lettuce is the vegetable that is grown in the mountains." Liu Xing roughly calculated, there are about 100 acres of hilly land in the mountains behind the courtyard, and if all the lettuce is planted, it will be at least more than two million catties of lettuce. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Outside the window, it was dark at night.

Liu Xing yawned, turned off the computer, he had to go to bed early, although it was common to stay up late in the city before, but tomorrow he will be busy decorating the courtyard and lettuce seeds, it is not good to have no energy

In the small desert area of Qingshi Village, can Liu Xing really grow lettuce? Brothers and sisters, if you want to know the situation, just give some recommendation votes and look down.
