Chapter XVII
Gangu Yu hurriedly jumped into his sweet potato field, and after a closer look, his face became ugly.
The stems of many sweet potato vines have turned whitish, and some have even turned brown and dry rot. Ganguyu gouged open the soil and found that there were already sweet potato tubers. He pulled a sweet potato in half and looked at it, and the inside of the potato cube turned into a brown and white dry rot, and he immediately regretted it.
Bran heart disease, also known as sweet potato stem nematode disease, is a pest and disease caused by the destruction of stem nematodes, mainly harming the roots, stems and seedlings of sweet potatoes. Where would Gan Guyu have expected that the sweet potato seedlings bought from the store on the universal creature console were not detoxified, and he also forgot this stubble negligently for a while, otherwise he would have to deal with the seedlings in advance!
Pei Pei saw him sitting on the ground with a black face and didn't say a word, and he also chuckled in his heart, walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I'm suffering from pests and diseases. Ganguyu replied truthfully with some frustration, "I'm afraid that all the sweet potatoes in this field are wasted." ”
"Huh?" Pei Pei gasped and hurriedly said, "What then?"
"I had to do it all over again. Gan Guyu also sighed, he was still swearing about high yield just now, but he was immediately slapped in the face by this zero yield.
The surrounding beauties in the grass skirt also saw that something was wrong, and most of them said they were concerned. Heath was not there, but no one was sarcastic and disgusted, after all, it was also a sad thing for the crops to be harvested on the salty continent. After learning that this was a pest and disease, everyone simply helped together, dug up all the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field and threw them aside, and re-leveled the land.
Seeing that there are still a lot of good people in the natural forest! Gangu Yu was grateful and couldn't stop thanking him. However, in the process of helping, the girls also discovered that the soil in the Gangu rain field was very fertile, and the latter once again fooled the past with the words of Mother Nature. Among the women, there are also those who ask Gangu Yu to help improve the soil quality, but this work is too mana-consuming, and Gangu Yu can only explain the reason, and he will serve everyone in the future.
After buying sweet potato seedlings and pesticides again, the money on the console was once again very short, which made Gangu Yu very helpless, so he began to ask the women to find as much gold ore as possible for him. When the women heard that Mother Nature was interested in this very common ore, which was useless except for coinage, they looked at each other for a while, but finally agreed to it.
Ganguyu handed the seedlings and pesticides to Peipei: "I have to ask you to help me apply some medicine to these seedlings." ”
"No problem. Pei Pei took the seedlings, looked at the two bottles of pesticides and asked, "What is this?"
"Methylisosulfonate and aldicarb are used to prevent pests and diseases. Gangu Yu didn't care if Pei Pei understood it or not, and replied casually. However, when he saw Pei Pei habitually licking his lips, he hurriedly added, "This thing must not be eaten, absolutely!"
Just kidding, even if it is a pesticide that the people of the Great Celestial Empire can't eat indiscriminately, I'm afraid that this group of girls will have an accident as long as they get a little bit of it.
Then, under the supervision and guidance of Ganguyu, Peipei completed the infiltration of sweet potato seedlings with methylisosulfonate. I have to say that it is very convenient to let the water mage do this.
Immediately after that, it was the process of ridge planting again, but this time Ganguyu did not forget to apply the configured aldicarb to each pit. With so many people helping, this time the planting was done much faster. Gangu Yu thought about it again and found that there should be no mistakes, so he invited a beautiful woman in a grass skirt to cast all things to grow again.
This time, there were no problems with the growth of sweet potatoes, and the sweet potato vines with a touch of purple in the green color soon covered the whole field, and it was very pleasing to life.
Pei Pei looked at the vines all over the ground, licked his lips and asked, "Is this considered ripe? This is a vegetable? It doesn't seem like there are seventy or eighty bags of production, right......?"
"Well, although sweet potato leaves can also be eaten, the edible part of the sweet potato is actually the kind of root you just saw. Gangu Yu explained. His sweet potato is a root-eating variety, and the leaves are not as delicious as the sweet potatoes of the specialized leaf-eating variety. As he spoke, he dug out a row of sweet potatoes from the ground, all of them of a moderate size and plump.
"Is this it?" Pei Pei grabbed a sweet potato, washed the dirt off the surface, licked his lips and asked, "How do you eat it?"
"There are many ways to eat it, but the easiest way is to peel it and nibble it directly. As he spoke, he went to the ground and dug some out, washed them and distributed them to the women, so that everyone could try them.
Everyone was very curious about this new food, and when they saw Gangu Yu picking up a sweet potato and peeling off the skin, they started to gnaw on it.
"Hmmm! It's refreshing, better than flatbread!"
"It's a little sweet. ”
"Nice, delicious. ”
The women's eyes lit up and they began to talk excitedly. Gan Guyu watched the women hold the sweet potatoes for a while without caring about eating, and she didn't feel it: "There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes, and eating them raw like this is the most untechnical." ”
When the women heard him say this, their curiosity was aroused again. Gangu Yu took the opportunity to instruct the women to find firewood, grass, wheat straw and a cauldron, dug a pit at the edge of the field and set up a stove, and filled the pot with water and boiled a pot full of sweet potatoes.
And that wasn't all, he buried some sweet potatoes in the freshly burned ashes. Seeing this, Pei Pei couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing here?"
"It's called a roasted sweet potato. Gangu Yu continued to eradicate illiteracy for beautiful women, and said with some nostalgia, "When I was a child in my hometown, my favorite thing was to bake sweet potatoes by myself. ”
It didn't take long for the sweet potatoes in the pot to be cooked, and Gangu Yu once again distributed the boiled sweet potatoes to everyone. The women didn't wait for the sweet potatoes to cool down for a while, then peeled off the skin and ate it with a snort. But this time, no one spoke, and dozens of people were only eating here.
It wasn't until the boiled sweet potatoes were wiped out by the women that everyone chattered and admired again.
"It's delicious!"
"It's different from the crisp and refreshing taste just now, it's softer and glutinous, and it's another flavor!"
"Woo, Xiao Guyu, can I eat another one......?
Gangu Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I'll dig up all the sweet potatoes in the field." These sweet potatoes were planted by everyone, and in order to thank everyone for their help, let's take a bag back later!"
The women were just about to cheer, but they were surprised in unison: "A bag per person?!"
"Xiao Guyu, are you sure? We have a dozen sisters here!"
"Wait a minute, how many sweet potatoes have been grown in your field?"
"Woo, something terrible seems to have happened!"
