Chapter 257: Try Fertilizer

After Zhang Xiaoxue had dealt with all the things in the farm, she thought about it and thought that there was nothing to do, so she left the farm and went to her yard, thinking of the potatoes she had planted with her two brothers last time, and wondering what happened to the seedlings?

All kinds of vegetables planted in the backyard are growing well, a piece of green, especially conspicuous is the large potato they planted, seeing that the potatoes have emerged 20 cm high, Zhang Xiaoxue walked closer to check, the branches and leaves of the potato seedlings seem to be growing well, I don't know if the family has used soil fertilizer.

It's not bad, the potatoes planted are not unsuitable for water and soil at all, and it seems that after the wasteland is reclaimed, it will definitely be possible to plant potatoes.

Anyway, there is a lot of fertilizer in the warehouse of the ranch, Zhang Xiaoxue thought about it for a while, and then took out a bag of fertilizer, wanting to apply fertilizer to these potatoes in the backyard to see the effect.

A bag of fertilizer has 25 kilograms, a very heavy bag, but Zhang Xiaoxue took it out from the ground, so there was no need to move, took out a knife from the space ring, and opened the sealed oilpaper bag, the color of the fertilizer inside was snow-white particles, and the fertilizer did not smell at all.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't know if the fertilizer could be sprinkled like on the farm, or if it was like in reality, you need to dig a ditch and sprinkle the fertilizer first, and then cover the soil.

She scooped a spoonful of fertilizer with a small gourd and sprinkled a little next to the potato seedlings to see the effect before deciding whether to dig a trench.

The spoonful of fertilizer that Zhang Xiaoxue sprinkled had just come into contact with the land, and the fertilizer melted into the soil like snow encountering hot water, and it was impossible to see that the fertilizer had just been sprinkled on the land.

Haha, it's easy now, Zhang Xiaoxue used a gourd scoop to evenly sprinkle the fertilizer spoonful by spoon in the potato field, and when the entire potato field was sprinkled with fertilizer, half of the bag of fertilizer was used, and Zhang Xiaoxue received the remaining fertilizer into the space ring.

Although the potatoes have just been fertilized, the effect is not as obvious as that on the farm, and Zhang Xiaoxue can't see it for the time being, but this fertilizer can increase the yield of potatoes or shorten the ripening time.

Thinking of planting three apple trees outside the courtyard wall of the house, it would be better to plant them as soon as possible, Zhang Xiaoxue arrived in the front yard and saw that her brothers were busy grinding food paste, Zhang Xiaoxue didn't call them for help, thinking that there were only three apple saplings anyway, and it would be good to plant them slowly.

Zhang Xiaoxue went to the outside of the yard by herself, and after choosing the location where she wanted to plant the apple saplings, she took out the three apple saplings in the warehouse, and put them against the courtyard wall first, ready to dig a pit with a hoe.

Zhang Xiaoxue finally decided to go to the neighbor's house to borrow a hoe to use, Zhang Xiaoxue has not been in contact with the neighbor's house since she came here, the first time she came to the door was because she asked for someone, she felt a little embarrassed, she really verified the saying that nothing is not to come to the door.

Zhang Xiaoxue finally chose the neighbor on the left, this neighbor is a young couple, they have a daughter, only two years old, the man seems to be called Zhang Yuanzhi, and Zhang Xiaoxue is the same generation.

When the fields are not busy, Zhang Yuanzhi often goes to a carriage and horse shop in the town to do the work of portering, to earn some change to subsidize the family, and now the crops are the work of watching the green, Zhang Xiaoxue estimates that the male owner of the family should go to the town to work, and their hoes should still be at home.

Zhang Xiaoxue has seen the children of this family once, the little girl looks very thin, and she also looks malnourished, and the previous Bin'er has a fight, and the current Bin'er, after a few days of nutrition to keep up, the body is a little rounder.

Zhang Xiaoxue thought that since there were children in this house, it would be better to bring something to the door to borrow a hoe, Zhang Xiaoxue thought for a while, and took out a copy of the horseshoe cake she made, this pink horseshoe cake is a cute piggy shape, not to mention the taste of this pastry, just this appearance, his little girl will definitely like it.

However, the horseshoe cake was still in the white porcelain tableware given by the system, and he had to change things out, so Zhang Xiaoxue turned around and went to the kitchen at home, found an idle fruit basket, and carefully placed the horseshoe cake inside.

The pink horseshoe cake is held in a small white rattan basket, and the sales image is also very good-looking, Zhang Xiaoxue carried this basket of horseshoe cake with a smile and went to the neighbor's house.

Several brothers saw Zhang Xiaoxue carrying a small basket out, but they just smiled and didn't interfere with her.

The door of the neighbor's house was not closed, Zhang Xiaoxue entered the yard, and saw the hostess of the house sitting at the door of the hall, as if she was sewing patches on her clothes, and a little girl sitting on the small bench next to her, tilting her head, patiently watching her mother work.

"Hello sister-in-law!"

Neither of them noticed Zhang Xiaoxue who came in, so Zhang Xiaoxue had to take the initiative to speak.

"Ah! It's the county lord of Xueshan who is here, come into the house and sit down, this is the first time you have come to our house, is there something wrong with this time?"

The hostess hurriedly stood up and invited Zhang Xiaoxue to sit in the house, although the two of them were neighbors, but Zhang Xiaoxue came to their house for the first time, she thought that Zhang Xiaoxue must have something to do, so she asked.

It turned out that the original owner had never been to the neighbor's house, and Zhang Xiaoxue said a little embarrassed: "Hehe, don't bother sister-in-law, I came to ask my sister-in-law if the hoe at home is still at home?

This is a pastry I made myself, it tastes good, and I will give it to my little niece to taste. ”

After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she handed the small basket in her hand to Zhang Yuanzhi's daughter-in-law.

"The hoe is still at home, I'll take it for you, how can you still send something for this little thing, Lord Xueshan, you quickly take it back."

The pastries in your hands look very high-end, I have never seen such exquisite pastries? ”

Such delicate pastries, although Xiao Yaniang really wanted to keep some for her daughter to eat, but she couldn't borrow a hoe for the lord of Xueshan County to use, so she could accept such a big benefit from others, and this pastry was not cheap at first glance.

It turns out that this little girl's name is Xiaoya, which is quite nice, "What did my sister-in-law say, this pastry is just made by me, and it doesn't cost money, don't dislike it, our two families are neighbors, and we will have to move around more in the future." ”

In the end, Xiao Ya Niang still couldn't resist Zhang Xiaoxue's kindness, so she was embarrassed to accept the pastry, and the little girl called Xiao Ya had already swallowed her mouth when she looked at the beautiful pastry.
