Chapter 249, Sweet Potato Cuttings
Lin Kangping saw that Ziqing was stunned, so he hurriedly hugged him and said: "Qing'er, it's better to do this, you let Ah Tu do it first, I sold it to Uncle Zhou's shop, as for the workshop you mentioned, I think, wait for me to inquire with Wang Cai, why don't we buy a Zhuangzi in the capital, as you said, don't buy a ready-made good Zhuangzi, let's buy a wasteland outside the city, only plant all kinds of flowers, and use them to make fragrant pancreas in the future, do you think it's good?" β
Ziqing thought about it, his business acumen was really worse than Lin Kangping, he only planted flowers, and there were not many people who needed to be taken care of, as for the workshop, he could hire people to do the work, or also take in some homeless people, which was also a merit. [~]
"It's good for you to call the shots, it's better to make a good village, I still don't have to worry about it." Ziqing stretched.
The soap made by Ah Tu Ah Shui was still sold for a piece of fifteen yuan, Ziqing gave them a piece of soap for a penny, and the two little things worked harder, and they would take the initiative to figure out how to collect the juice of the flowers more strongly, so that the fragrance of the soap was more pure and strong.
However, for the sake of safety, Ziqing asked Xiaohong to sew two pairs of thick cotton gloves for them, and found the burlap woven by others from the village as work clothes, which was better than nothing, in addition, when Lin Fu didn't go out, he also helped on the side, there was a bigger one, Ziqing was still much more relieved.
Lin An had dinner early this morning and told Lin Kangping that Kangzhuang's corn had begun to be harvested, and some mung beans were ready after harvesting.
"Sweet potatoes can be transplanted, and if you don't transplant them again, I'm afraid that you won't be in a hurry." Ziqing suddenly asked. In fact, after pulling the edamame, you should be able to transplant the sweet potato. The horizontal and vertical sand is still better to loosen the soil. It is also suitable for growing sweet potatoes.
"Grandma, isn't the sweet potato already planted, didn't you see it last time, and now the vine has grown a long time." Lin An looked at Ziqing suspiciously.
Only then did Ziqing know that they didn't know that sweet potatoes could be cut off and cuttings, and they always thought they were like potatoes. [.] Directly raise seedlings, saying that potatoes are still taught by Ziqing to cut their teeth and raise seedlings, so many years have passed. One to ten, ten to hundred, basically know.
It's just such a waste of stuff. Ziqing couldn't sit still when she heard this. If he didn't pull Lin Kangping to go to Kangzhuang, Lin Kangping looked at Ziqing, his stomach was not very obvious, so he had to agree.
When they arrived at Kangzhuang, Lin An went to find the people who were harvesting corn, and when everyone was gathered together, Ziqing went to the field, took a pair of scissors, and told them how to prune and plant. Ziqing demonstrated it with the mother vine, and the mother vine that was pulled out already had a lot of tiny roots.
"When the vine grows to two or three feet long, remember to turn the vine over and prevent this little root from growing, otherwise. The sweet potatoes at the bottom don't grow much. β
Ziqing also emphasized that the vines should be turned at least twice, and the vines lie on the ground, and it is easy to get into the soil to take root, and the roots must be divided into nutrients in their lifetime.
Lin An touched his head and asked, "Master, this large vine." We can transplant more than 20 acres of sweet potatoes, so do we have to plant so much? β
Ziqing knew what Lin An meant, sweet potatoes are not like corn, they can be used as food, and they can't be eaten as vegetables like potatoes, there are really nothing derivatives of sweet potatoes at present, except for dried sweet potatoes and baked sweet potatoes, the demand is not too much, and the yield is high.
Ziqing looked at the mother vines of several acres of land, thought about it, and said, "Plant all this vine, and the pigs in the Hengzhi family also want to eat." No, feed a few more pigs in the winter. As for sweet potatoes, Ziqing really has a little idea.
Lao Zhou looked at Ziqing and asked, "Boss, my old man has also dealt with this sweet potato for seven or eight years, but he has never heard of the method you said?" If this doesn't work, you'll be blinding the stuff of several acres of land. (LeavesΒ·~..)"
Ziqing was thinking about the derivatives of sweet potatoes at this time, so he didn't pay much attention to Lao Zhou's words, Lin An glanced at Lin Kangping, then at Ziqing, and said: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, our grandmother has the most number in her heart, and today you have seen with your own eyes what to do, and in the future, the rest of the things will be handed over to you, and when the harvest is over, you will know whether it will be successful or not, in this way, how many sweet potato seeds can be saved, this will be promoted, and our grandmother has also done a great meritorious thing." β
Lin Kangping glared at Lin An and said, "What about chewing again?" There is merit and it belongs to everyone. Your grandmother also went out that year, and heard what others said, otherwise, where would she know where to go? How can you claim to be meritorious? β
Lin An didn't expect that he had slapped the fart this time, touched his head, puzzled, and muttered a few words.
Ziqing had come back to her senses at this time, but she understood what Lin Kangping meant, and didn't want her fame to spread, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. However, this time there was no way, things were in a hurry, and there were no sweet potatoes in the Qing Garden, so I had to come here to show my face, but fortunately, they were all people in their own Zhuangzi, and there were no outsiders.
Ziqing took Lin Kangping's hand, saying that he knew that he was wrong, and looked at everyone's unnatural expressions, especially Lin An, after all, he was a steward, and he couldn't get off the stage in public.
"Also, everyone remembers, look at whether the sweet potato is ripe, and look at whether the crack in the taproot is big, you know whether the sweet potato grows big or not. When you steal food, you can dig up the big cracks first, don't go around pulling out the air blindly, you don't have to waste anything. Ziqing said with a smile, wanting to ease the atmosphere. Everyone laughed embarrassedly.
"The owner is really a generous person, this tender corn has not entered their stomachs, have you heard, if you don't do things well, you really can't live with the Bodhisattva heart of the owner, there is a meat dish for the daily meal, where to find such a good place? It's really a blessing. Lao Zhou said.
Ziqing smiled, at this time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy suddenly knelt in front of Ziqing, and said: "Owner, I still have a few brothers who asked for food together that day outside, when I came, they didn't believe it and didn't dare to come, but now, I have a home here, grandma, can you be merciful and take my brothers over, we must do things well, if we are lazy and treacherous, the master will beat us out with a stick, no complaints." Please fulfill the master. After speaking, he kowtowed three times in one go.
Ziqing looked at Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping said: "This matter is handed over to Lin Steward, people can be found, whether they can stay or not depends on themselves, I can say ugly things in front, and those who do not abide by our village rules will be beaten out." β
Ziqing asked about the yield of edamame, because it is interplanted, one mu of land is about 200 catties, and the yield of corn has also been calculated, about 350 catties, which is higher than last year, so the income of one mu of land is about one or two halves of silver, which is as suitable as simple planting.
Lao Zhou admired this very much, and said: "The owner, this method is really good, my old man has been planting the land for decades, and he didn't think of this, and that thought of putting the chicken cubs into the method of catching insects, hey, it seems that the brain is clever in everything, you monkey cubs have any good ideas to say, the owner has rewarded the one called Ah Tu." β
Everyone was envious when they heard it, but it didn't mean that there was a way. Lin Kangping was going to inspect it, ordered everyone to disperse, and sent Ziqing to Shen Xinfu's side, because she was harvesting corn, Granny Huang in the stove room picked out some tender corn, cooked it, and was giving it to a few children to eat, and also gave Ziqing a stick.
To be honest, Ziqing is really not interested in this corn, after all, at this time, there is no sticky corn with a good taste, this kind of corn, just taste fresh, no matter how you say it, it is also a coarse grain, it can't be delicious? When I first started eating, it was still a little fragrant, and it was very average after eating a few more bites.
"Before, I really thought that there was nothing to do, and I was a little embarrassed to accept such a high salary for nothing. During this period of time, although there are not many things, they are not idle, they are all trivial. Shen Xinfu smiled when he saw Ziqing.
"Don't worry, cousin, this is where to go, the busy days are ahead, please don't be tired when my cousin arrives." Ziqing replied with a smile.
"This is also true, such a large piece of land, first of all, there are too few people, but my brother-in-law said that you want to build a Zhuangzi, it is this Zhuangzi that attracted me, the old and the old, the young and the young, a Datong Zhuangzi. My sister is really a good person with compassion. β
At this time, Shen Xinfu's wife Wu also brought the child over and accompanied Ziqing to talk and laugh. The left is nothing more than some clothes, rouge, jewelry, etc., women's topics.
"My sister's complexion is really good, I don't know what rouge cream she rubbed? I often buy and always feel that the color is not correct enough, and the blush always feels that it can't be dissolved, and it is condensed and astringent, which is not as natural as my sister, as if it has not been wiped. Wu asked.
Ziqing touched her face and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I really haven't wiped anything, I don't use rouge gouache much, and my sister-in-law also knows that I don't usually go out, and I'm a lazy person, where are I willing to toss these?" β
The climate in the south is already humid, Ziqing is young, where do you need these rouge gouaches, but often wash your face with goat's milk, feel that the skin is dry, just put on a mask, this is simple, Ziqing only needs to lie down, naturally there is Xiaoqing Xiaolan waiting.
Looking at Wu's envious eyes, thinking of Shen Xinfu, Ziqing still said: "Sister-in-law, it's better for you to be idle, add some honey with egg whites and flour, and put it on your face, and it will be done in a quarter of an hour and a half at a time." I usually do it once every three to five days, and as long as I stick to it, it will definitely work. β
As he was talking, Lin Kangping came and said that he was too busy in the village these days, and he wanted to send Ziqing back first. (This site: Your support is my biggest motivation. )
