Chapter 54: Planting Brassica

Returning to Sanshi Town, Li Xin took his two younger sisters and Shopkeeper Sun to resign and return to Osmanthus Village. On the way back to Guihua Village, Li Xin's sisters were in a carriage with Zhu Yong. Along the way, Li Xin also carefully observed, the horse should not have pulled a cart before, so his temperament was a little bad, and he jumped very much. But after walking so far, the horse stopped and the carriage became more and more stable. Zhu Yong's technique is really good, he catches up with the carriage and looks safe.

In the late autumn season in the south, although there are yellow leaves drifting, but at a glance, it is still full of emerald color, heavy mountains and mountains, wind curtains and green curtains, and the scenery is really beautiful. Only large tracts of fertile land are temporarily idle after the autumn harvest, and only the original color of the land is exposed everywhere, looking a little depressed.

Back at home, Li Xin got out of the carriage, stepped forward to open the door, and asked Zhu Yong to remove the threshold, and the carriage rushed in. She cleaned up a room in the south room and came out for Zhu Yong to live in, but the house has always been cleaned on time, so the inside is very clean, as long as you put down and write daily necessities. There are also a few simple furniture, that is, tables, chairs, beds, and a large wardrobe, which were originally bought before, and if a guest comes, they can also arrange to stay.

There are also new ones left in the house such as bed sheets and bedding, and soon Zhu Yong will be able to live in them. After arranging the house for Zhu Yong, Li Xin went to the kitchen to see what to eat, Yuexiang and Yueting had already been sent by her to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden. The advantage of the south is that vegetables are abundant, and as long as it does not snow, the vegetables in the vegetable fields can safely overwinter without much covering. Li Xin planted a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, so the area is not very large, but there are a lot of types missing, and she has replanted a stubble after some vegetables are finished, so at this time, the vegetables in her vegetable garden are still rich.

At this time, it was already time for every family to start lunch, so Li Xin did not delay, hurriedly got a few dishes out, and asked Zhu Yong to sit down and have lunch together. Zhu Yong had been trembling, and he didn't dare to pick up the vegetables, so Li Xin scooped some vegetables for him with a spoon, and he lowered his head to eat.

After lunch, Zhu Yong asked Li Xin to do anything if he had any work. Li Xin took Zhu Yong to the cellar, moved out a few bags of potatoes, and asked him to send them to Zhuangzi. The area of Zhuangzi is not small, so a small warehouse was built in it, and a cellar was dug. Li Xin went to see it, although the cellar is not very big, it can also hold a lot of things.

Now that I have bought such a big Zhuangzi, managing the things over there is the most important thing, and the few acres of land at home are not so important compared to the Zhuangzi. Although she still has to live in the village, she will definitely not be less than the days when she lives in Zhuangzi. The people on Zhuangzi must not know how to plant these novel seeds, and she also has to go over and look at them. While these days are not busy, it is still necessary to prepare all the seeds needed and send them to Zhuangzi.

Now that the family has a carriage, it is also convenient. Although it is more than 20 miles away from Zhuangzi, the carriage is quite fast, and it doesn't take too much time to go back and forth. Now there is no work for Zhu Yong to do at home, if he is idle, Zhu Yong will definitely be uncomfortable, it is better to let him run a few more times and get all the seeds to Zhuangzi.

When Zhu Yong left with those potatoes, Li Xin took Yuexiang to prepare other seeds. And all the corn that was broken was dried up, and all the kernels of the corn were to be removed. Li Xin took the corn cobs that Yuexiang picked, and the bad ones didn't make seeds. It doesn't cost much seed to get one acre of land, and the corn of the two acres of land recovered this year can still be planted for many acres. Let's take some and plant one in the mountains! If you plant well, you can also develop others to plant. You can't grow rice in the mountains, and if you only grow wheat, you won't get much grain a year. If you can grow corn, it is still very good, the corn occupies a small area for a long time, and the yield is also very good.

There was no need to deal with the other seeds, Li Xin took some bags or baskets to pack, and it was easier for Zhu Yong to transport them. The red pepper hung up a lot, so Li Xin cut a slit in the red pepper with a knife and got the seeds out inside. The tomatoes were also picked from the red ones, and the seeds were cut open, and the seeds were put into the water, and then they were carefully washed and dried. The seeds of peppers and tomatoes are very small, and it doesn't take much seed to plant a lot of land.

Early the next morning, after Yuexiang got up, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and Li Xin took a sickle and took Zhu Yong to the edge of the vegetable garden to cut sweet potato seedlings. If you want to plant spring potatoes, it is time to start raising seedlings, and when the seedlings grow longer, you can also grow more land, Li Xin also packed up a few large baskets of sweet potatoes and brought them. There are a lot of sweet potatoes harvested this year, because sweet potatoes are not easy to cook directly, so the consumption over there is not much in Pinxiangge, and there are still many sweet potatoes at home. The sweet potato seedlings at home are not too much, and the seedlings are not enough, so it is better to bring some sweet potatoes and raise more seedlings, rather than less. Some of them were taken to raise seedlings, and some of them were also taken for the people in Zhuangzi to taste, which was also a very delicious thing for those who had never eaten sweet potatoes.

After breakfast, Li Xin asked Yuexiang to take Yueting at home, and he and Zhu Yong went to Zhuangzi.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Li Xin went to Wang Fu and his wife alone, and Wang Fu said that he had bought a lot of brassica seeds, but it was impossible to plant 400 acres of fields. He has asked about all the nearby places, and he has bought everything he can back, but he really can't buy more. I bought a lot of peas.

Li Xin instructed Wang Fu and his wife to plant all the seeds they bought first. Li Xin also went to the edge of the field to watch the servants scatter brassica and pea seeds, in fact, it is not difficult to plant brassica and peas, now that the field has been made, just scatter the seeds into the field. However, this degree still needs to be well grasped, not too much and not too little, too dense, not good for long, too sparse, and a waste of fields.

Li Xin saw that everyone was doing well, so he took a small group of people to raise sweet potato seedlings, first cut the sweet potatoes they brought with scissors, and then cut them and poured some water. There were not enough sweet potato seedlings, so I took some sweet potato seedlings to raise. I don't know if I can buy Zhuangzi at this time, if I knew that I would harvest sweet potatoes at this time, I can also use the cut sweet potato seedlings to raise seedlings. At that time, I also felt that it was useless, and a small part of them were brought back to the people who came to help to raise seedlings, and most of them were used to feed pigs and cattle in the village.

There were still some sweet potatoes left, so Li Xin had people cook them in a large pot and distribute them to everyone in the Zhuangzi to eat
