Chapter 232: Growing Sweet Potatoes

In the afternoon, after Li Feng entered the mountain, it didn't take long for him to come back. It's just that when I go, I was empty-handed, and when I came back, I was full of loads. It's just that, looking at this thing that Li Feng carried back, Gao Yang and the maid were stunned again, because they didn't know what was in front of them.

"Fourth uncle, this is what you call a good thing, you will come back with a leaf from this tree......"

When Li Feng entered the mountain, he had already said that he would go to the mountain and come out with this good thing. However, Gao Yang looked at it, what kind of good thing it was. It's clearly a tree vine.

"Hehe, it's not like that. This is a truly good baby. All Datang, this is the only one with no other branches, unique, do you think this is a good thing? Well, when I'm done, I'll make you something fresh to eat. ”

Looking at Gao Yang and the maids, with a look of curiosity and disappointment, Li Feng immediately said with a smile. Then, start to untie the rope slowly.

After Li Feng untied the rope, Gao Yang and the others saw that there were two strange things wrapped in the vines of the Jiang tree. One is in the shape of a short rod, and although it is wrapped in a petal-like skin on the outside, it can still be seen through the exposed chalky parts. On the surface of the stick, there are neat rows of grains like the fruit in a pomegranate, covering the body of the stick. There is another one, which looks a bit like a radish, but it doesn't look like it, and the color is not right.

"Big brother, is that all you want to eat? This thing is so strange, I've never seen it before, what kind of wild fruit is this. ”

"Yes, Fourth Uncle, ......can you eat it now?"

The maid and the son-in-law, it doesn't matter what it is. As soon as I heard about the food, I immediately became even more interested.

It was brought from the mountains; If it comes, it must be a wild fruit.

"Well, this sweet potato can be eaten raw, but this corn can't be eaten, it must be cooked. Well, one sweet potato per person washes it with water by itself, whether it tastes good or not, taste it yourself. ”

Seeing the girls staring at the sweet potatoes and corn in front of them, Li Feng immediately pointed to the sweet potatoes and said to them. These are the things he got back from the valley today.

If it weren't for the sudden flood, he would have almost forgotten that he was still in the valley, planting sweet potatoes and corn. This thing is also food. Even when Li Feng was a child, he didn't eat this thing. Especially this sweet potato, in winter, when I go to school every morning, I just take two burnt sweet potatoes and eat them while walking, which is regarded as breakfast.

Though. In those days, whether it was sweet potatoes or corn, most of them were used as feed for livestock, and people would eat a little bit of it when they were fresh. That's because there is no shortage of food at all, and I can't finish eating rice in front of him, although I am worried about this sweet potato and corn.

However, in this Tang Dynasty, where food is extremely scarce, these two things are definitely treasures. In these years, the emphasis is on eating enough, not eating well, and it is about quantity, not quality.

Therefore, this flood reminded Li Feng of the corn and sweet potatoes in the valley.

Compared with rice and wheat, both corn and sweet potatoes are high-yield crops. These two crops are not only high-yielding, but also very easy to manage, and have very low growth requirements. For irrigation, the fertility of the land, compared with rice and wheat, the requirements are much lower.

Li Feng has seen many mountainous areas grow corn, which is to directly open a piece of land, and then sow the corn planting. From then on, I didn't care about it, and when the time came, I went directly to collect it, and it was over. Of course, the yield is extremely low. However, this is nothing more than a matter of a few corn seeds.

Today's grain production is not only low, but also very simple. Once a natural disaster is overcome, people immediately fall into trouble. This time, Li Feng just wanted to slowly plant these two crops in the village. If there is enough food, it can be used to feed the livestock, and if there is not enough food, it can be used as a ration.

"Oh, I said you, don't eat the skin with you when you eat it. Forget it, bring it, I'll help you peel the skin first. ”

Not long after, Gao Yang and the others washed the sweet potatoes in their hands with water, and then they actually gnawed them directly. Seeing that Li Feng secretly screamed that he had made a mistake, he went into the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and helped them peel the skin. Actually, this is not to blame Li Feng, he used to eat raw sweet potatoes, but he never peeled Aode, he just gnawed off the skin.

"It turns out that this thing is still skinned. Well, it tastes much better now than just now. It's crunchy, and it hums a fragrance, a little sweet. ”

When Li Feng helped to peel off the skin, Gao Yang and Yaya, as well as his son, began to eat and gnawed. In fact, this sweet potato is not particularly delicious when eaten raw. However, because of the freshness and novelty, the three of them ate with relish. It didn't take long for even the little son to finish a small sweet potato.

"Fourth uncle, it's really good to eat another one......"

After eating one, Gao Yang immediately reached out to take it again, and it seemed that he was still addicted. But. was stopped by Li Feng.

"Okay, don't eat it yet, let's go to work first, plant this sweet potato vine first. Then, I'll take you to play one more fun thing, well, not only fun, but also delicious......"

Sweet potatoes are relatively hard, and if you eat too much raw, it is easy to cause indigestion and stomach trouble. Moreover, now Li Feng is still in a hurry, so he will plant the sweet potato vines he brought back into the ground first.

"Okay, sweet potato vine? Fourth uncle, you don't mean these things, do you? Could it be that this sweet potato is the fruit of these things......"

Hearing Li Feng say this, Gao Yang could only do it. What's more, listening to Li Feng's tone, there will be more fun and delicious things later, and then wait for them. It's just that as soon as she heard Li Feng mention the three words sweet potato vine, she immediately looked at it with great surprise, what she thought was a tree vine just now.

"Or else? You think it's all leaves. However, this sweet potato is not what you think, but grows from the chalk of the root of this sweet potato vine, well, it is similar to a radish. It's just that this radish seedling only has one radish, and a sweet potato vine can grow a large bunch of sweet potatoes. ”

Of course, what Li Feng brought back was not a tree vine, but a sweet potato vine, and later, he was going to plant them in the ground.

"Big brother, it turns out that Jiang sweet potatoes grow in the soil. I mean, why is there so much mud on this fruit?

However, big brother, can you grow like this? ”

"Don't worry, this sweet potato can be deducted from other things, I not only have to plant them like this, but also cut them into small pieces and plant them."

While Li Feng was recognizing, he had already picked up the scissors and began to cut the sweet potato vine into sections. Moreover, in order to ensure that more seedlings can be separated, he cut them relatively short.

"This celery can still be planted, Fourth Uncle, you won't be a liar, right? This is already a thousand pieces of broken corpses, there are no roots, there is no must, fourth uncle, are you sure that this sweet potato can still be planted with a trap......"

Holding a small piece of sweet potato vine cut out by Li Feng, Gao Yang turned it over and over, looking left and right, he didn't believe it at all, and he was still able to grow it like this.

"Well, by the way, girl, go and get a small basket, you pick a slightly tender sweet potato leaves, and we will fry them in the evening." It's cabbage every day, and I'm tired of eating it. In the evening, let's change the taste. ”

Facts speak louder than words, Li Feng doesn't want to talk nonsense with Gao Yang, whether he can live or not. Li Feng still doesn't know. This sweet potato, that is simply the little strong of the little strong, vitality, very tenacious. As long as it is planted and watered a few times, this thing will not need any care in the future, and it will grow extremely lush. Even if it doesn't rain for ten days and half a month, and the ground is dry and white, they will be fine.

However, suddenly, Li Feng thought again that this fresh sweet potato leaf, when fried, still tastes okay. So, he assigned the girl a task to pick a fresh sweet potato leaf.

When everything was sorted out, Li Feng picked up the cut sweet potato vine and took Gao Yang and Yaya and the three of them to set off towards the orchard. There, Li Feng had already opened a piece of land, just to facilitate the planting of vegetables and fruits in the future, and now, it can be used.

In order to get this piece of land well, Li Feng has spent a lot of effort. In order to make the land more fertile, he also deliberately picked up a lot of silt from below.

Planting sweet potatoes is very simple, it is nothing more than making a ridge, and then planting the sweet potato seedlings on the soil ridge, and then immediately watering the sweet potato seedlings. In order to make this sweet potato seedling grow better and faster, Li Feng also deliberately added a pig manure when making ridges.

"Fourth uncle, are you really sure, this wilting, if the sweet potato seedlings that are going to die can come back to life, don't let us live for so long."

Looking at the ruthless sweet potato seedlings that had been planted in front of him, Gao Yang's heart was that there was no score at all, so he asked Li Feng again very suspiciously.

After coming to the craftsman village, Gao Yang can be regarded as half a farmer no matter how he says, and he understands this matter more or less. However, I didn't plant anything like this.

"Whether you can live or not, after two or three days, you will naturally see. Now, it's time to treat you. Let's do something particularly interesting now. ”

When Li Feng heard Gao Yang's girl, he still doubted the survival of this sweet potato, and he was speechless for a while. There's no way to explain this. However, although he didn't explain, Li Feng didn't forget his previous promise that after finishing the work, he would take them to play a fun thing.

"Yes, yes"

"Fourth uncle, what is the matter, how to do it?"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Li Feng's words, whether it was Yaya, his son, or Gao Yang, he was immediately very interested. (To be continued.)
