Chapter 61 Anti-Freeze
In the evening, when Wenbo and Wen Hao came back from school, Wen Hao began to tell Li Xin that Master Zhou had promised everyone to bring the charcoal basin to the academy. It's just that you have to take care of the charcoal pot you brought, and you can't set the house of the academy on fire.
Today's houses are all wooden structures, and the houses have been built for a long time, so the wood is very dry, and once it is lit, the consequences are unimaginable. Li Xin also explained Wenbo and Wenhao in detail, and he should be very careful when using them.
"Eldest sister, I'll watch it, and I won't burn down the academy." Wen Hao saw that Li Xin also explained like this, so he promised.
"Okay, eldest sister herself believes that you won't. You can only bring charcoal with you in the academy, and you can't put firewood in it. ”
"Don't worry, eldest sister, both of us will be careful. The master has also explained it well. Wenbo said.
"Alright, let's eat!" Li Xin said and took Wenbo and began to set up the meal. There are also two charcoal basins next to the dining table, and it is warm after sitting down. The meals are also hot, and it is very appetizing to watch.
After dinner, Li Xin washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and then laid out the cake. After that, it's time to make a wish, blow out the candles, and cut the cake. Li Xin and Wen Bo took out the gifts given to Wen Hao and Yuexiang. Today, the twins are a year older.
The sisters and brothers also put small sweet potatoes in the charcoal pot, and it didn't take long for them to be cooked. Li Xin specially sent some smaller sweet potatoes to put in this house, and Wenbo and Wenhao could eat them when they wanted to. Smaller sweet potatoes are easy to cook, boiled or roasted, and can be eaten in a short period of time.
was lively and playful, and slowly, Yueting had already dozed off, and Li Xin saw that it was not too early, so he let go. There was hot water boiling in the cauldron, Li Xin took some out to wash Wenbo and them, she first hugged Yueting who was dozing off and washed it, and then hugged Yueting to sleep.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wenbo and Wenhao went to the academy, Li Xin asked Yuexiang and Yueting to look after the house in the house, and he took Zhu Yong to Zhuangzi. These days are really cold, and she is afraid that the rape and peas planted will not be able to overwinter smoothly. And the potatoes are almost ready to be planted, and the breeding of tomatoes and peppers is also on the agenda. Peppers and tomatoes have a long seedling period, and if the seedlings are raised slowly, they will not be able to be planted in the spring.
Peppers and tomatoes should be planted earlier, and the time to bear fruit will be longer. Last year, it was planted too late, and the seedlings almost wilted, and the time to bear fruit was very short. Moreover, many crops still have to be planted in spring, not to mention the good growth, and the yield will be much more.
When I entered Zhuangzi, I saw at a glance that there was no longer the bleak scene of the past, and my eyes were full of green rape and peas, which were tender and raw, and I wanted to eat them when I looked at them. Li Xin went to the field to check carefully, but they were all frost-resistant. The rape seedlings and peas are very tender and very green in color, but they do not look like they have been frozen. She breathed a sigh of relief.
With so many fields, if all the rape and peas were frostbitten, what would be the harvest! The seeds didn't cost much, but a lot of effort was put into these fields, and if there was no harvest, everyone would be sad!
After walking for a while, Li Xin found that there were a few veterans in the field who were also carefully inspecting the rape and peas, and they should be worried about where they were frozen!
"The eldest lady is here!" Seeing Li Xin coming over, the old men came forward to say hello.
"It's surprisingly cold these days, I'm afraid that the rape and peas will be frozen, and at this time they are very tender and the most afraid of freezing. Fortunately, I looked at it, and I didn't see anything, but everyone took care of it with all their hearts. ”
"I've looked around, but I haven't had frostbite yet, but I'm afraid that it will be cold like this again, but maybe it's going to happen." An old man said, his eyes full of worry. For those who cultivate the land, crops are the lifeblood!
"So be it! Pile up some haystacks in the field! Everyone should be vigilant these days, and if it suddenly gets colder in the middle of the night, then light the haystack and put some firewood on it, and it is better to get more smoke out. I heard that this can ward off the cold, but I haven't tried it, but I've heard that if you really can't do it, then try it! Or put some water in the field, so as to avoid freezing too harshly. "When it's too cold, it gets a lot of frost, and when it falls in the fields, it can freeze. If you have irrigated the field in advance, the freezing will not be too harsh, but you can only give it a try. Although it will have some effect, but when it doesn't snow, if it snows, I'm afraid it won't be useful to do anything.
Hundreds of acres of land are too large to be covered by sheds. Farming is really a matter of relying on the sky to eat! Especially in this day and age.
"Then try it according to the method that Miss said, it should be of some use!"
"The coldest should be this time, it won't be too long, and everyone will work harder."
"Miss, don't worry."
After chatting with those veterans for a while, Li Xin went to see the seedling place again. The sweet potato seedlings grow very well, and they are also covered with sheds, so you don't have to worry too much about getting frozen. If it's really cold, you can also put a few braziers in it. The sheds for tomato and pepper seedlings have already been set up, and we are waiting for the right time to start raising them.
After turning around, Li Xin also pinched some tender small rape and pea vegetables, and finally pinched a handful of very tender sweet potato seedlings. At this time, it is the time to be tender, so you can eat it and add some fresh dishes! There are no fresh vegetables to eat at this time, the most are cabbage and large radish, or eat some bean sprouts and tofu.
After looking around, Li Xin took a carriage to the house in Zhuangzi. It should be that the early blooming plum in the garden has opened, blown by the wind, and the whole house is the aroma of the plum, which is brought by the cold wind, which is a cold aroma.
"It's so cold, why did the young lady come over?" Soon, Sister-in-law Wang also walked in with her hands rubbed. Exhale, and it's also a white mist.
"It just looked too cold, and I was afraid that the rape and peas would not be frozen, so I came to take a look. Sister-in-law Wang still went out? ”
"I also looked around, but fortunately, nothing frozen. The rape and peas were fine, and the fruit trees were not frostbitten. ”
"I've walked around too. If it doesn't get any colder, it should be okay to safely winter. ”
