Planting lotus root is actually very simple to say, Liu Yi has already turned over the silt in the paddy field beforehand, and now his uncle and their lotus root seeds have arrived, and Liu Yi will take the lotus root seeds and put them on the water surface of the paddy field at a certain interval, and the fourth brother Liu Yong will continue to bury these lotus root seeds one by one into the silt of the paddy field.

The only thing to pay attention to in the planting process is not to hurt the spores on the lotus root seeds, and you must also put the direction of the growth of the spores towards the water surface, and then wait for 10 days and half a month, you can see the tips of small lotus leaves growing on the water surface.

"Uncle, the lotus root seeds I bought back this time are good, the lotus roots grow relatively thick, if our big paddy fields can grow such good lotus roots, then we can earn a lot of money this year alone." Liu Yi finished putting the lotus root seeds in a paddy field, and hurriedly went to the roadside to carry other lotus seeds.

"It's also a coincidence, there are more lotus root seeds this year, originally we planned to go to the town to collect lotus root seeds one by one, but today we happened to meet a farmer in the market town for sale, and is preparing to sell a lot of lotus root seeds, we went over to serve it with him." Uncle said with a smile.

"Hehe, then we're in luck!" This lotus root seed, if you can only buy a variety of course the best, but now the market town can meet the real not much, a lot of arable land is occupied by the government or villagers to work outside, no one will plant a large piece of lotus root, as long as it is in the countryside to grow crops know that digging lotus root in the cold winter is a very distressing errand.

"Oh, by the way, I think these paddy fields are also good for fish farming, and there are streams on them to ensure that these fields will not dry up. Growing lotus roots and feeding some diving fish can also increase your income! Uncle Yi suggested to Liu Yi on the side.

"What kind of fish should be stocked in the lotus root field?"

"The paddy fields where lotus roots are planted are generally deep silt, and the soil is relatively fertile, I think that if you raise some loaches and yellow eels, raise some crucian carp and carp on the water surface, these grow relatively fast, and you can catch them in a year, as long as we dig the lotus root when we drain all the water, those fish are not all caught by us."

"It's good, but it's a hassle to plant seedlings here!" Liu Yi is not very clear about the fish fry market in Shancheng.

"You don't have to worry about this, have you forgotten the last time we bought sturgeon, shrimp and crab fry? This time, all I have to do is call them, and they will ship them directly! Liu Yi continued to propose.

Liu Yi said worriedly: "It's a long way to transport fish fry from there. Does it have an impact on the fry? ”

Uncle Yi shook his head: "The loach, yellow eel, crucian carp, carp fry we are going to buy this time are all relatively common species. Their lives are relatively cheap, so they can feed them and transport them for a few days on the way to have no effect on their future growth, and my original silver carp fry are not transported from other provinces. ”

"Okay, you can look at the arrangement. Do you have any money there? If you have a big expense, be sure to talk about it in advance. ”

"Don't worry. Last time, we didn't run out of money to buy fish, and then you gave a lot of money to buy dross and roughage, and we all wrote it down in a notebook. There are tens of thousands, and there are people fishing one after another in the past few days, and we have earned hundreds. ”

Uncle said that these are all full of smiles, their original rural homes were all requisitioned, and now they can continue to raise fish for the current life is also quite satisfied, at first Liu Yi only gave them a fixed salary every month, and then Liu Yi officially divided labor, and simply took out 10% of the income from reservoir breeding to them, so that Uncle They were even more emotional, but looking at Liu Yi's undoubted tone, the most reluctant still accepted.

After planting lotus roots in the morning, it was almost time for lunch, and Liu Yi would take a break after lunch as usual, but today when he went upstairs to sleep, he was stopped by Wang Jingqian and her group of girlfriends.

"Brother Liu, accompany us out this afternoon to pick wild vegetables!" Wang Jingqian still has a big grinning personality, and she is not polite at all.

"How did you come up with the idea of picking wild vegetables today?" It's not been a day or two since they've been here, and they usually can't recognize the vegetables grown at home, but now they actually want to go out to pick wild vegetables?

Looking at Liu Yi's puzzled look, Ye Ziyan explained softly: "This morning, when we chatted with some elderly aunts, they said that they were going to pick wild vegetables in the afternoon, and they also explained to us the efficacy and taste of some wild vegetables, which also aroused our interest. ”

I see, there are really some aunts in the Sunset Red Organization of the old association who came here yesterday who said that they were going to pick wild vegetables when they had time, and they didn't think that they would act if they went down today.

But Liu Yi didn't want to go with them, looking at their delicate appearance and dress, with light makeup, a pair of short fights, and several of them wearing high heels. It doesn't look like picking wild vegetables!

"Go by yourself, or I'll ask Zeng Liyang to come with you, pick all the wild vegetables and hand them over to Xiao Zeng to help you carry." Liu Yi looked at Zeng Liyang on the side, constantly instigating Liu Yi to agree, and constantly making small moves behind his back, so Liu Yi directly moved Zeng Liyang, who was very willing to do this, out.

That Wang Jingqian glanced at Zeng Liyang, and asked with some suspicion: "Zeng Liyang, how many wild vegetables do you know?" ”

"It knows me, I don't know it!" Zeng Liyang replied with a little blush.

"Forget it, it's not like we don't know each other, that's why we came to find Brother Liu, Brother Liu doesn't have anything to do with you today, can you help us?" Wang Jingqian now began to say coquettishly.

But on Liu Yi's side, he didn't like picking wild vegetables when he was a child, the main reason was not that he didn't like to eat, but that many hibernating animals began to move out with the rise in temperature at this time, and there was an animal that Liu Yi was very afraid of - snakes! Isn't picking wild vegetables just looking for it all over the mountains, and the chance of meeting that guy is quite high.

When Liu Yi was about to reject them, his mother came out of the living room: "Second baby, you will accompany them to go out for a walk, they are all girls, what if you meet snakes and insects?" ”

The conversation just now was listened to by the mother and several aunts in the living room, and several of them had a good impression of these girls, and they saw that Liu Yi was also a big boss, and they were fighting for opportunities for Liu Yi whenever and wherever they were.

With her mother's words, several girls and Zeng Liyang by Liu Yi's side were very happy, the girls were naturally happy when their wishes were fulfilled, as for Zeng Liyang, hehe, it was naturally self-evident, it was a great thing for him to be able to pick wild vegetables with the goddess selected by the university campus.

"One person should take a small dustpan or a pocket!" Liu Yi put a basket on his back and said to everyone helplessly.

"Second baby, I'll go out and pick more shepherd's cabbage when I come back, and our whole family will eat dumplings tonight!" Mother's clear voice came out of the living room again, and now that she has been home for a while, her mother has improved significantly in all aspects of her body, and even her speech is full of energy.

"Oh, I'm here!" Liu Yi replied, and took this group of excited city girls and boys to pick wild vegetables.

"Now that you're full of excitement, I wonder if you'll be the same as just now when you get to work?" Liu Yi thought in his heart.

Liu Yi took them all the way from home this time along the path of morning exercise to the other end of the mountain, and after walking a long way, Fei Fei's face in high heels was a little wrong: "Brother Liu, how far do we have to go, my feet hurt!" ”

"After this pass, we will arrive, we mainly pick camellia this time, and I know that there is a lot of one on the side of the mountain pass."

"Oh, let's go slower, next time I'll never come out in high heels again!" Fei Fei said with a depressed face.

"Actually, when you go to the countryside, it's completely unnecessary to wear high heels, and we just want to pick camellia this time, if you break the root of your ears, your shoes will definitely be scrapped today."

"Didn't I see that this section of the road from the highway is not very smooth, it's okay to wear it a few days ago, that Zhilu Dao is going to pick wild vegetables today, Xiaoqian is you, if my feet are blistered, you will rub my feet at night!"

"Fei Fei, I didn't say I was going to come over to pick wild vegetables just now, and besides, I'm not much better than you, you see, I'm not wearing high heels!" Wang Jingqian said to Fei Fei with a wry smile, and even came to a golden rooster to be independent, and showed one foot to Fei Fei.

"Okay, aren't you shouting tired, you still talk so energetically, it's about to arrive, there are a few big rocks next to the wasteland, you are tired and go to the rest meeting first." Liu Yi didn't dare to ask them to take off their shoes, in case they accidentally stepped on that thing in the grass, it would be better to have shoes apart, otherwise it would make the person who stepped on it have nightmares for several days in a row, not to mention that it was really not fun to be bitten.

Crossing the mountain pass and walking through a ridge is a large barren slope, a lot of limestone in the wasteland is exposed on the soil, because the soil layer here is shallow and not suitable for growing crops, so it has been barren. But Liu Yi didn't come to this place when he was a child, and many wild vegetables were very tenacious, just like shepherd's cabbage, wild chives, and sweet potatoes that grow close to the ground can grow in this harsh environment.

"Okay, if you guys are tired, you can go over there and rest on a few rocks!" Liu Yi put down the basket and pointed to a few large stones not far away.

"Brother Liu, what kind of grass are we going to pick today?" Wang Jingqian looked like a curious baby.

"Hello!" Liu Yi leaned over and plucked a nest of wild vegetables with long flat leaves and toothed edges, and put them in Wang Jingqian's hand.

Wang Jingqian looked at the appearance of the shepherd's cabbage, and her expression was like this: "Ah, weren't there a lot of such wild vegetables on the side of the road when we walked over?" ”

Liu Yi smiled: "When the wild vegetables on the roadside are generally not picked, whether it is pedestrians or animals passing up and down, those wild vegetables are far from the freshness and tenderness of the wasteland here, and if you look at this wasteland, there are so many wild vegetables, and the few trees on the side of the road are really not enough." ”

"Ah, it's true, there are so many of them here, Xiao Yan, Fei Fei, and Xiao Jie, it seems that we are worth the trip today!" (To be continued......)
