Chapter 272: Harvest

The autumn wind is blowing, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the time of harvest.

The day after buying the land, Sinan Candle wrote a letter to Xie Zhizhi, asking Xie Zhizhi to bring someone to the village, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the yield of eggplants and tomatoes in the field was getting worse and worse, Su Banxia had already asked the Lin family's carriage to come once every five days, and there were not many vegetables taken away each time.

However, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field are growing very well, during this time, Su Banxia has dug up several sweet potatoes and potatoes and came out to eat, she really can't help it, the sweet potato porridge tastes sweet, she likes it very much.

Xie knew that when he got the letter, he directly brought eight people here, these eight people are not very old, they are all relatively powerful people, they learn things quickly, and they are also diligent.

I was very excited all the way, and when I passed by the county seat, I also brought Sun County Order with me.

Sun Xianling was even more excited than Xie Zhixiao, you must know that Su Banxia's matter has come to pass, which is a great good thing for him, and the possibility of promotion is very great.

directly brought the yacha to Qingxi Village with him.

Su Banxia has been looking forward to Xie knowing them all this time.

Hearing the sound of the carriage outside, he immediately went out of the yard and saw Xie Zhixiao and Sun Xianling getting off the carriage, and this time there were many carriages, and a few of them were neatly parked on the side of the road, and the remaining few carriages also had people coming down.

She smiled and stepped forward to salute: "See Lord Xie, see Sun County Order." ”

Xie Zhixiao smiled, and was very kind to Qingxi Village: "Banxia, don't be polite, we are not outsiders, the next eight people are brought by me to learn technology, you have to teach it well, don't they go back and can't grow things, but they will be punished." ”

Su Banxia knew that this was a joke, but he was still very modest and said, "Look at what you say, let's sit in the courtyard for a while." ”

Si Nanzhu stood at the gate of the courtyard, and Xie Zhixiao and Sun Zhixian resisted the urge to salute.

Before coming, Xie Xiao specially told the people who came not to expose Si Nan Candle's identity, Si Nan Candle was in Shengjing City, that was famous, and the few people who followed behind did not dare to raise their heads to look at Si Nan Candle.

The night god doctor was very free and easy, dressed in cloth, and his leisurely appearance made Xie Zhizhi's eyes widen.

He is now more and more sure that the Night God Doctor has really returned to the field, and if this news is transmitted back to Shengjing, it will cause a sensation again.

The hall couldn't sit so many people, but fortunately, it was a cloudy day today, and the Jiang family moved stools and chairs out, and waited for everyone to sit down.

Xie Zhicai opened his mouth: "I came after receiving the letter, the sweet potatoes and potatoes of Nanzhu are ripe?" ”

Si Nanzhu glanced at Xie Zhizhi and said: "I seem to lie to you, I have eaten several meals, the sweet potato porridge is particularly sweet, and there are sour and hot potato shreds fried in half summer, braised in the middle of summer, steamed, etc., the potatoes are really magical, no matter how you make them, they are delicious." ”

He was now looking forward to Su Banxia planting all the vegetables in the Western Regions.

Then he will be completely blessed.

And after living in Su Banxia's house for such a long time, he really felt amazing, first of all, he felt energetic, and he could think about things a little bit, and his thinking was much smoother than before, and what made him feel amazing the most was his master, who was obviously a little younger than before, this was definitely not his illusion, those very shallow and small wrinkles were gone.

After carefully observing Yuan Sulan, he felt even more magical, Yuan Sulan and the first time he saw him, the change was too great, when he saw Yuan Sulan for the first time, it can be said that Yuan Sulan was an old dragon clock, but now he is radiant, much younger, not to mention, when he helped Yuan Sulan's pulse, he found that his physical illness was gone.

Even his master felt magical, and he always felt that Su Banxia had given them a panacea.

Retracting his thoughts, he said with a smile on his face: "You have picked up a treasure, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is very high, if you really want to promote it throughout the country, the people will be able to eat enough, especially sweet potatoes, Banxia has not even watered the manure, and I pinched so many sweet potato tips to sell before, it can be said that sweet potatoes are treasures all over the body." ”

He knew that Xie Xiaoxiao had been looking for crops suitable for the people to plant, and now that Su Banxia had helped him find them, he could be regarded as helping Xie Xiaoxiao a lot.

Xie knew that he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart now.

Can't wait to go to the field and see how productive it is.

Su Banxia saw Xie Xiao's eager look, and said with a smile: "Why don't we go and dig sweet potatoes and potatoes now?" It's noon in a while, so it's time for you to taste it. ”

Xie Zhizhi stood up directly, he had lived in Su Banxia's house for a few days, and knew that Su Banxia's farm tools were all placed in that room, so he went directly to get the farm tools and said, "This time I want to do it myself." ”

Su Banxia agreed with a smile and took a few people to the field.

Although a few people heard Xie know that all the vegetables grown in Su Banxia's field were vegetables from the Western Regions, and they grew very well, when they really saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised, after all, they had planted these things in the field before, and without exception, all of them failed.

Now it's really embarrassing to see Su Banxia planting so well.

When he saw that the potato seedlings in the field were almost yellow, Xie Zhizhi said, "Where do we start digging in the middle of summer?" ”

Su Banxia smiled: "You can do it casually, pay attention when digging and don't dig it badly." ”

She carried a bamboo basket in her hand, and she could pick up potatoes and sweet potatoes later, and prepare to cook a big pot of gruel at noon, and make a little potato to make a dish.

Xie Zhizhi thought it was interesting, so he found a random one and looked at it he liked, picked up the hoe and dug it up directly.

Soon, the potatoes were dug up, the big ones were bigger than an adult's fist, and the smallest one was only the size of a thumb, but there were more than a dozen of them under one plant, so it can be said that the harvest was very good.

Su Banxia explained: "This is the first year to plant potatoes, I haven't used much fertilizer, and I plan to apply a little more fertilizer next year, so that it can grow very well." ”

Probably because of the variety, she also found that the potatoes that can grow to the size of an adult man's fist are already the largest.

Most of them are the size of eggs, but such large potatoes are actually the most convenient to eat, and they can be eaten without special cooking methods.

Xie Zhizhi picked up the potatoes one by one into the basket, and dug up the next one, two adult men's fist-sized potatoes were dug out, this one was more productive than the one just now, he picked up the smallest into the basket, a total of more than twenty, so many were beyond Su Banxia's expectations.

Another middle-aged man who came with him was about to move, "Lord Xie, let me give it a try." ”

He looked itchy and unbearable, he had planted potatoes before, but unfortunately, there was not much harvest from planting, and a large potato was buried, and only three or four egg-sized ones were dug up, so it was a loss, and there was no need to plant at all, so in the end it was gone.

Now that I saw Su Banxia's planting, I realized that he had taken a detour back then, obviously because he was weak, which led to a bad harvest.

After he dug up a plant, he observed it carefully, and when he saw that the root position was a piece of cut potato, he looked at Su Banxia in surprise and said, "This one has been cut and planted?" ”

Su Banxia heard Xie Xiaoxiao say before that when everyone planted potatoes, they were all buried in the ground, so the yield was not high.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was surprised, he explained to the rest of the people: "Since I asked this question, then I will explain to you that potato planting does not need to be planted in the ground, it can actually be cut into pieces for planting, so that a potato can be cut into countless pieces, only need to dip the cut surface with a little grass ash when planting, and when cutting, you must pay attention to its seedling position, and the small hole is a seedling position." ”

As she spoke, she took out a finger and showed it to everyone.

Then despite the middle-aged man's confusion, he continued: "The planting of potatoes is very simple, if you plant in the future, you can bury some dry manure in the ground in the early stage, and then cover it with a little soil, and then put the potatoes away and cover it." ”

In this way, you can make the growing potatoes have enough nutrients.

After digging five baht, the bamboo basket of potatoes was filled.

Xie Zhizhi took the hoe and began to dig up the sweet potatoes again, and when he dug out a sweet potato plant and looked at the sweet potatoes hanging under the sweet potato vines, everyone who came gasped.

Xie Zhizhi mentioned sweet potatoes and was shocked: "This plant has more than ten years of sweet potatoes, how can there be so many in Banxia?" And why are sweet potatoes so big. ”

Su Banxia was shocked when she first dug it, this is much more than what she used to dig in the countryside, this sweet potato is white-skinned and yellow-hearted, sweet and glutinous, although the starch content is not as much as that of red-skinned and white-hearted, but it is much more delicious.

The most important thing is that the yield of this sweet potato is very good, and it just so happens that she grows this variety, so you can imagine how many sweet potatoes can be dug out so much.

Su Banxia said with a smile: "Because I have found a suitable planting method, Lord Xie's sweet potatoes don't need to be dug up, this plant is enough for us to eat at noon." ”

Now to show you, it's just a small test.

She plans to dig up the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field tomorrow and dig them out.

A few people returned to the courtyard in shock, and as soon as they went back, Lord Xie and a few people began to discuss, while Su Banxia began to make lunch.

Putting the smaller potatoes aside is perfect for grilling.

Shred the large ones and prepare to fry the hot and sour shredded potatoes.

I went to the field to pick a few tomatoes, and prepared to mix them directly with sugar, so that the porridge was also delicious.

In addition, the egg-sized ones are all steamed in the basket drawer, so that they can be steamed and boiled, and they can be eaten directly when the time comes, but she still prepared a small plate with dried chili noodles and salt, and dipped a little when eating, the taste is ......

After preparing some hors d'oeuvres and cooking a pot of braised pork, Su Kongqing set up the table and began to eat lunch.

There were three tables full of people, and three wooden pots of sweet potato gruel were placed in the center of the table, and there were side dishes all around.
