"Because it doesn't take a day to germinate potatoes, it takes several days, so you have to go to my house a few more times. ”

After the patriarch finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxue stepped forward to say a few words to the villagers.

In the end, the patriarch summed up a few more sentences, and asked the big guys to line up to Zhang Xiaoxue's house to buy the 20 catties of potatoes that each family received.

After the villagers each received 20 catties of potatoes, Zhang Xiaoxue briefly introduced to the villagers how to germinate potatoes.

Because there were too many people, I didn't go into my yard, but outside the yard, Zhang Xiaoxue also put on the invisible headset and explained it to everyone.

Although the potatoes obtained by each household this time are only 20 catties, and the place where germination is not used is large, but I thought that in the future, a large number of potatoes will be germinated, so Zhang Xiaoxue directly wanted to introduce the method of germination outdoors to the big guys, so that there will be enough space for germination.

Zhang Xiaoxue called two slaves, who were holding hoes, and were ready to explain to the big guy how to dig a pit.

"To germinate potatoes, you need to choose a sunny place, dig a pit with a bottom 40 centimeters from the ground, about 2 square meters for every 300 catties of potatoes.

Now because each family only has 20 catties of potatoes, they only need to dig a small pit. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue pointed out a sunny place, and asked the two slaves to quickly dig a small pit, which was of course only 40cm deep from the ground as she said.

Zhang Xiaoxue asked them to put in 20 catties of potatoes, and the height of the potatoes in the pit was not more than half.

"A straw curtain should be placed on top of the potato, and the straw curtain should be sprayed with water before covering the potato, as long as you always pay attention to the humidity on the straw curtain, and the straw curtain should not be allowed to dry out.

In the process of potato germination, depending on the humidity of the grass curtain, warm water can be sprayed 1-2 times to maintain appropriate moisture.

It should be noted that when sprinkling water on the straw curtain, the straw curtain should be taken outside to sprinkle water, and then covered on the potatoes, not directly covered on the potatoes and sprinkled, which will make the potatoes easy to rot.

In the process of potato germination, it is necessary to check it often, and wait until the potatoes sprout to more than 1 cm, you can no longer continue to cover the grass curtain, so that the potatoes can be cut into pieces to make seeds, if there are potatoes that do not germinate up to the standard, continue to germinate. ”

The villagers heard that the potatoes were sprouting, it was not very complicated, and in their opinion, it was quite simple, and they were very happy, Zhang Xiaoxue asked the villagers to come to the house to ask her for advice if they didn't understand something.

Suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that he hadn't explained, and said again: "When the potatoes are cut into pieces, each small bud can grow into a potato plant, so when cutting the pieces, you should also be careful not to hurt the small buds. ”

After the matter was explained, even if there were a few villagers who were still not very clear, they also asked the people next to them, and the big guys were all gone.

Preparing to go home, according to what Zhang Xiaoxue said, he hurriedly germinated the 20 catties of potatoes he bought, thinking that he could sprout the potatoes a day earlier so that they could be planted in the ground.

Zhang Xiaoxue had already told her family that if she still wanted to plant potatoes at home, she would just take the seeds directly from the master, and she would no longer plant them with the sprouted potatoes with the villagers.

The potatoes that were harvested just now were all distributed to the villagers, and the 20 catties of potatoes that Zhang Xiaoxue used to promote germination demonstration just now were also potatoes that had been taken out of the kitchen for consumption.

"Grandpa, uncle, do you still want to plant potatoes in the backyard? If you plant potatoes, I'll send you the seeds tomorrow. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue was in front of so many people, and it was not good to buy potato seeds directly from the store on the farm and take them out, and then say that they would be sent tomorrow, anyway, it would not be bad for such a while, even so, it was earlier than the villagers to finish germinating and planting potatoes again.

"Okay, according to what Xue'er said, grandpa will wait for you to deliver the seeds tomorrow, this potato yield is so much, I will definitely plant potatoes again."

Grandpa is not delaying time here, I plan to go home and rearrange the field, apply farm fertilizer again, the land is planted so diligently, and it is not allowed to rest, and I don't know if the next crop of potatoes will have such a high yield, I hope it will have no impact. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather was very happy when he heard his granddaughter say that he could send the potato seeds over tomorrow.

Although there were so many potatoes harvested this time, I didn't leave a catty of my own family, and all of them were sold to the villagers as potato seeds.

There is nothing to regret, the granddaughter gave a lot of potatoes to eat at home, if you don't eat potatoes every meal, it will be enough to eat in three months.

Zhang Xiaoxue's uncle has no opinion, his thoughts are the same as his father's, and he also wants to quickly deal with the land again, apply fertilizer, so that when the seeds are brought in, it can be planted again, and there is no delay in time.

After Zhang's father and eldest brother left, he couldn't wait to let the slaves apply farm fertilizer to the half acre of land in the backyard, and then plant it directly after his daughter took out the seeds tomorrow.

"Dad, we won't plant potatoes on the half acre of land in our backyard, I think let's plant another crop of pumpkins, okay? Pumpkins can make a lot of delicious food, and the yield will not be too low, but pumpkins are better put on shelves, so that they can produce more." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue thought that the pumpkins on the farm could make so many kinds of food, so she thought that she would also have some pumpkins at home, whether they ate them at home or gave them to relatives, it was also good, so that everyone could have one more food to eat.

It just so happens that pumpkins are also very easy to store, and after the underground secret room of your own house is built, you can also store a lot of pumpkins and eat them for a lot of time.

In the winter, she sent some pumpkins to her relatives to improve their food, so that they would not always eat so many things, although she had a lot of fresh vegetables on the farm to eat, and her own family could eat them, if they were to give them away, it would be too eye-catching.

Zhang Xiaoxue knows very well that there are really no edible green vegetables here in winter, most of them are dried vegetables and soybean sauce that are eaten.

All winter, the food is dry, and there is no refreshing vegetables to eat.

Oops, I suddenly remembered that no one here grows Chinese cabbage, and Chinese cabbage is a very good green vegetable to store in winter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxue decided that the backyard should not only be planted with pumpkins, but also with some Chinese cabbage.
