Chapter 137 The Problem of Planting
Lin's timid appearance, unknowingly, thought that she had really done a lot of bad things, who would have thought that she had done a good deed but apologized guiltily.
Even if she has improved a lot compared to before, her original temperament is not so easy to completely break through. How could Chen Youyi be angry with the Lin family, and the Lin family didn't do anything to be sorry for others.
"Sister-in-law, you're too careful, I'm just worried about you, don't be so stupid in the future, if there is anything that needs to be improved in the store, there is a shortage of manpower, just say it bluntly, it's not that we can't afford to hire one or two cooks now." If you're tired, Xiaohuzi will come to me to ask for your guilt. ”
Chen Youyi jokingly said the words of exhortation, and her tone was relaxed, but the meaning in it was expressed, she really didn't want the Lin family to have such a self-sacrificing act again.
"Okay, I, I got it." Lin also understood Chen Youyi's intentions, and knew that he understood his hard work, and he was also very moved in his heart. Even for an insignificant cook, Chen Youyi did not look down on people, and cared about people as friends.
Lin's timidity and low self-esteem were not innate. Maybe when she was young, she was a little more timid than ordinary children, but that's about it. It was only after the poor and poor life, as well as the turmoil of helplessness, that deepened her pessimism little by little, and such a character was formed.
However, personality can be formed or changed, and during the time when Chen Youyi was doing business in the county, the Lin family became cheerful and lived a nourishing life. Her gratitude to Chen Youyi is not just a generous monthly salary.
The two newcomers didn't know the specific situation inside, but they were also quietly relieved to see that the boss treated his subordinates so generously. When you go to work under someone else, you meet a generous boss or a mean boss, it is very different.
These two people are also honest people, they are both down-to-earth craftsmen, and they don't have any tricky hearts, so they follow Lin to learn early, and they follow the study seriously, and they don't despise Lin because she is a woman and a woman with a soft personality.
The two of them have a certain foundation, and they get twice the result with half the effort when they learn, almost as long as they hand it in once or twice, explain the tricks in it, and they can get started, and they will soon have a good appearance as soon as possible, and they will be unanimously recognized and praised.
This morning was opened by several people together, with three people in the kitchen, it was more than enough to deal with the guests in the morning, Chen Xiaowu was quite enthusiastic, and the people were also flexible, seeing that the kitchen was full of people, no one ordered him to automatically go outside to greet the guests, and got Lin Shiwu's great favor.
After the early rush hour, those who rested felt that the day was extraordinarily relaxed.
"Okay, I'll be relieved to have you here." Chen Youyi was thinking about her pepper seedlings, and since she didn't need to be staring at her here, she wanted to rush back as soon as possible: "We'll go back first in the afternoon, and we'll come back when the craftsmen can start work." ”
Several people in the shop told them to go back with confidence, and if they really couldn't deal with it, they could go back and deliver the news to them, so they didn't need to worry too much.
After explaining, Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng rushed back to the village. In the few days of delay, the Wang brothers were not lazy at all, and the wasteland was reclaimed eight or nine times out of ten, and only the last small part was left, and it could be completed in another day or two.
"Great, the days are about the same, we can sow seeds." Chen Youyi checked it, was quite satisfied with the reclaimed wasteland, and began to sow seeds with Qin Ziheng.
Because it was the first time to plant a large area, Chen Youyi had little experience, so for the sake of prudence, she divided the pepper seeds into two groups as a control group.
One group is to sow seeds directly, and the other is to breed first, and then plant them separately in the ground after the pepper seedlings have grown to a certain extent.
Direct planting is relatively simple, the reclaimed wasteland, about 25 to 30 centimeters deep, the front line of the cultivated land is fertilized and watered to ensure that the soil is suitable. In fact, at this time, it is good for the growth of small seedlings in the future, but there is no such thing as pesticides, and there is no substitute for it.
It's better to say that there is no such awareness of sterilization here.
Qin Ziheng dug a small pit about five centimeters deep in front, and Chen Youyi followed by putting two or three seeds into the soil, and then gently covering the soil.
If they have enough pepper seeds, they can actually sow them at will, and when the time comes, the seedlings will be arranged neatly. But now they have to treat every seed as a treasure, so they can only save a little.
The other group is in a lot of trouble. Chen Youyi first tried to find a pot with a small number of seeds, like she used to cultivate small potted plants, added a layer of cotton to it, sprinkled pepper seeds evenly, and then covered with a thin layer of cotton.
During this period, the clean water is constantly replaced, and after three or four days, all the seeds that can germinate have germinated, and the rest are discarded seeds.
"Fortunately, at least ninety percent of them have sprouted." Chen Youyi nodded, this result was a little better than her conservative estimate, she originally set the expectation at 80%, but now it was like picking up an extra bargain.
Qin Ziheng helped to plant the germinated seedlings in the wasteland, and the seeds that were planted directly before also slowly germinated, and the black soil was dotted with a little bit of new green, which made people happy and anxious in their hearts.
"I kind of know what kind of mood the person who pulls out the seedlings to help them grow." Chen Youyi squatted on the ridge, staring down at the seedlings with a few small green leaves, eager to look at it three times a day, and every time she looked at it, she jumped an inch up.
Qin Ziheng slowed down his expression, shook his head helplessly, and pulled the person up: "You don't need to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, we can do everything we can, and the rest can only be handed over to God." ”
Chen Youyi stood up with strength, raised his eyes and smiled: "I can't see that you are quite superstitious, don't you often say that you rely on yourself in everything, and God doesn't dare to take people?" ”
Qin Ziheng said this, but he didn't say it often, but after Qin Ziheng said it once, he was often talked about by Chen Youyi. Originally, this was just Qin Ziheng's words to comfort Chen Youyi.
However, Chen Youyi can also detect that this is indeed Qin Ziheng's true words. He doesn't seem to be looking for the pinnacle of wealth, but no matter what adversity he faces, he will try his best to be the best version of himself in that environment.
Qin Ziheng didn't refute either, firstly, he didn't like to argue with others by nature, and secondly, after getting along for a long time, he slowly got to know that Chen Youyi has a generous personality, but sometimes, he also likes to quarrel with others.
This 'man', most of the time, is limited to himself.
This kind of grabbing a little foothold is forceful, but it's not really aggressive, as if it's coquettish, and he doesn't feel annoying.
