Chapter 339: Start planting
You can't hire the Lu family, you have to find a matchmaker.
So, Mrs. Lu found a reliable person and decided to go to Chu Xintian's house on the eighth auspicious day of the second month to propose a dowry.
Originally, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yuan and Chen's party were going back to Beijing.
But now Lu Weichuan is going to decide to get married, so they won't leave until the family is decided.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the New Year is over.
The construction of the new house has also begun.
Although the temperature outside is still a little cold, the earth has also warmed significantly, and the originally frozen land has begun to thaw.
The final step in improving saline soil must begin immediately.
Niu Dazhuang and Li Fusheng continued to lead these people to work.
Chu Xintian is not idle.
Under Chu Xintian's careful care, the fruit of the miraculous medicine was also ripe. Those small green fruits turn into reddish-brown when ripe, and the fruit falls off and the peel quickly withers. The peel is pulled apart. Inside are soybean seed-sized seeds, one after the other, black.
Chu Xintian had never seen this seed appear, but seeing that they were all full, Chu Xintian thought that there should be no problem with this seed. If it is sown, it should be able to germinate.
Chu Xintian had already collected more than a hundred seeds of magic medicines.
Chu Xintian ran to the deep pool in front of the wolf mother's house to see the magical herbs she had saved last time. She thought that the miracle medicine she had transplanted back had blossomed, and with the seeds, there should also be seeds in front of the door of the wolf mother's house.
But when Chu Xintian walked away, she found that there were only withered flowers. It's winter, it's all hay, and there's no fruit at all.
In other words, it turns out that these miraculous herbs, although they bloomed, did not bear fruit.
Chu Xintian didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't bear any fruit, which meant there were no seeds, so she had to go back disappointed.
Therefore, Chu Xintian cherished the seeds of these magical herbs very much and planted them on the kang.
In addition, Lu Weichuan also sorted out the seeds of herbs for Chu Xintian and sent them over.
Chu Xintian picked several medicinal herbs from them, including ginseng seeds and her own magical herb seeds. Then, she put the remaining wooden box in the soil and began to study planting.
Chu Xintian had no previous experience in growing medicinal herbs. The only experience was a miraculous herb transplanted from the North Mountain.
But the miraculous medicine was transplanted by Chu Xintian, and the growing plants were picked and replanted.
Starting from the seed, Chu Xintian's heart is really bottomless.
Chu Xintian thought that the seeds in her hands were very precious.
In particular, seeds of wild ginseng and seeds of miracle herbs are difficult to find if they are wasted.
Chu Xintian was afraid of her ability and wasting seeds, so she didn't dare to experiment casually.
But planting herbs cannot be delayed. We have to plant a large field before spring.
Chu Xintian thinks that if she can't do something on her own, she can also ask for help.
Thinking of this, Chu Xintian thought of someone. She felt it was a good fit.
Chu Xintian felt that there was someone who could help her learn the cultivation of herbs.
This is Grandma Lee.
Grandma Li is an expert in vegetables, and she is the best person in the village who can tweak the vegetable garden.
With the same seed, Grandma Li will grow several times larger than others.
Chu Xintian believes that there should not be much difference between growing herbs and vegetables. The principle is the same.
So she went to Grandma Li and asked her for help.
It's the first month of the year, and it's not the peak season yet. Grandma Li happened to be free and had nothing to do at home.
As soon as Chu Xintian explained the situation, she came.
Although the seeds of each herb are different, they are all plants, whether they are medicine or vegetables. Grandma Li had a lot of experience, so she started treating the seeds the same way she planted vegetable seedlings.
Grandma Li also gave Chu Xintian a way to dispose of the seeds.
