Chapter 176: Planting

After the two ointments were separated, she also let Jiang and Aunt Osmanthus use them, and even Yuan Sulan, who had spots on her face.

When the ointment was distributed, she could only wait for the effect to be feedback, and the sweet potatoes in the field could already be planted.

took the hoe and went to the field with the Jiang family, and Yuan Sulan also took a hoe to follow.

Growing sweet potatoes requires digging ravines and piling up the soil to grow sweet potatoes that will grow bigger, while potatoes are less elaborate.

The rest of the land was planted with sweet potatoes, and after showing Jiang how to dig the ground, he started digging.

Digging the ground is hard work, but fortunately, Su Banxia has not been idle in the past six months, and he has not stopped doing farm work.

Jiang didn't ask much, and worked with Yuan Sulan.

Su Dalin went to the village to ask for seedlings, and there were not many left in each family, but there were many families in the village, so they asked for a circle and planted seedlings on every acre of land, which made Su Dalin feel a lot more comfortable.

Hearing the sound of digging the ground, I saw that Jiang and Su Banxia were digging, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the hoe.

just rushed to grab it, and found that he couldn't dig the ground with one hand, and sat down in a burst of loss, sighing.

Su Banxia glanced at the weather and found that there were dark clouds, it was estimated that it would rain in the next two days, and it suddenly became stuffy, and the most important thing for planting sweet potatoes was rain.

For example, when the ground is wet, when it is planted, and then it is cloudy for a day or two, the sweet potato will definitely live.

If it's always sunny, you have to water it every day, which is too troublesome.

"Dad, don't be idle, there are a lot of weeds in the potato field, clean it up, and then use a small hoe to loosen the soil a little."

Su Dalin, who was sighing, heard it, and immediately went home with a smile to get a small hoe.

Jiang said helplessly: "You still have a way, your father will start thinking cranky as soon as he is free." ”

She has said Su Dalin many times, but Su Dalin still can't change this habit.

Su Banxia shook his head helplessly and said: "Dad also wants to reduce the burden on the family, not only does he not stay idle, but he also doesn't want us to be too tired." ”

In this family, everyone is thinking about each other and hopes that the family can get better and better, this is a family.

Yuan Sulan is a good worker, digging the ground faster than the two of them, raised her head and glanced at the sky and said: "In the middle of summer, we will dig out the ground today, and we can plant sweet potatoes after it rains, but I don't understand, you are not buried in the ground for sweet potatoes, how can you plant so many ravines." ”

Su Banxia explained: "Sweet potatoes are planted with vines, we only need to cut the sweet potato vines and insert them into the ground, it's very simple, this thing has a high yield, and it's no problem for us to dig a thousand catties of this acre." ”

Yuan Sulan was surprised: "A thousand catties, so much." ”

Su Banxia nodded very seriously and said: "A thousand catties are definitely there," she has seen that the varieties of sweet potatoes are still good, there are both white-skinned and yellow-hearted and red-skinned white-hearted, and she mixed the two kinds of sweet potatoes and planted them together, and it is good to separate them when they dig them, and the taste of these two kinds of sweet potatoes is also somewhat different, such as white-skinned and yellow-hearted will be sweeter and softer, and red-skinned and white-hearted will meet a little, and there will be more starch.

And sweet potatoes can also make a lot of things out, sweet potato flour, sweet potato jelly are all her favorite food.

When there are more sweet potatoes, enough for her to squander, she must make hot and sour noodles to eat, and when she thinks of the sour and spicy taste, she can't help but salivate.

Jiang buried himself in his work: "Anyway, I will do whatever you say, the price you negotiated with Boss Lin in Banxia is really not less than fifty wen a catty, you said that the yield of this sweet potato is 1,000 catties, is it a bit unkind for us to sell it to Boss Lin." ”

Su Banxia knew that the Jiang family was a sincere person, put down the hoe and said: "We can't sell much of this sweet potato, I will distribute the sweet potato to the people in the village to plant, and I have some other ideas, I have already told the shopkeeper that sweet potatoes may be promoted nationwide in the future, and there will be no starvation in the future." ”

She was thinking of those who were starved to death, how pitiful these people were.

Jiang was not stupid, he immediately understood what Su Banxia meant, looked at Su Banxia in surprise and said, "Banxia, you ......"

Su Banxia picked up the hoe and began to dig the ground, and said while digging: "We must earn silver, but it also depends on what kind of silver it is, this sweet potato and potato are very high-yield things, especially potatoes even if they are planted in the back of the mountains, they can also harvest a lot of back, when our family couldn't afford to eat before, thanks to the help of the people in the village, everyone has a hard time, and we can send us a bite to eat, this kindness can not be forgotten." ”

Moreover, she is not only to repay the kindness of the village, but also to let everyone have enough to eat.

After a pause, he said: "What's more, everyone can eat enough, there will be less war, and there will be fewer deaths on the battlefield. Don't they always worry that their good brother's family has no one to take care of them, and they won't have enough to eat and starve! As long as sweet potatoes and potatoes are widespread, everyone will be able to eat enough. ”

For some reason, the corners of Jiang's eyes were a little moist, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and when he raised his head to look at Su Banxia, he was already full of tears and said: "Banxia, you are a good daughter of your mother, and your mother has such a good daughter as you, it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, what you do is right, it can really be promoted, it doesn't matter if our family doesn't make money." ”

Su Banxia hooked the corners of her mouth, it's really good to have family support.

Yuan Sulan also appreciated: "Banxia, your decision is good, as long as people don't starve to death, life will be better." ”

Dig the ground before dark, it rained in the second half of the night, and in the early morning, there was a light rain in the sky, and Su Banxia took the scissors to the ground.

Yuan Sulan wanted to come but was rejected by the Jiang family and Su Banxia, how could she walk around in the mud when she was old.

Su Banxia wanted to teach the Jiang family to grow sweet potatoes, and by the way, Su Dalin also came, although Su Dalin only had one hand, but there was no problem in planting sweet potatoes.

And if you don't find something to do for Su Dalin, Su Dalin will be cranky.

When the family of three came to the field, Su Banxia cut off all the sweet potato vines that could be planted and put them aside.

Then start cutting the sweet potato vines short, leaving three leaves for each sweet potato vine, and pruning is also particular.

After Su Banxia cut a handful, he taught Jiang to plant, planting sweet potatoes is very simple, just pick up a piece of mud and press the sweet potato vine into the soil.

Sweet potato vines will take root and sprout, and another plant will be planted every two palm-widths.

Jiang looked at Su Banxia's skillful movements, if she hadn't been by Su Banxia's side, she would have wondered if her daughter had been dropped.

Su Dalin also followed suit, and soon the field was planted, and there were no more vines in the place where the seedlings were raised before.

Su Banxia looked at the sweet potato vine, calculated the time, and waited for five or six days to plant another crop.
