Chapter 35: Harvest (New Books for Recommendation, Collect)

When Jiang Xiao walked to the peanut field with a small cart, sure enough, in the field where there were no weeds yesterday, there was now a dense pile, and weeds that were enough to be as tall as a small leg appeared, which were taller than peanut seedlings.

Jiang Xiao first found the heart-to-heart stone according to the mark she made yesterday, and after putting the baby back in her pocket, she slowly squatted down and pulled up one casually.

The peanut leaves are very green and beautiful, and there is a series of peanuts in the rhizome below, Jiang Xiao shook off the soil, picked a peanut casually, and pinched it with his fingers.

With a "click", the hard peanut shell was split into two petals, and just listening to the crisp sound, you could hear that these peanuts were absolutely different from yesterday's.

Jiang Xiao looked at the two chubby peanut kernels squeezed together, picked them out and put them in his mouth, and as soon as he bit his teeth, the rich peanut fragrance immediately spread in his mouth, and the saliva began to flood, making people can't help but continue to chew continuously.

Jiang Xiao chewed on peanuts and thought, this is a peanut, what was it before?

Chewing peanuts in his mouth, Jiang Xiao continued to peel peanuts in his hand and put them in his mouth, while standing up and observing the peanut field.

It's easy to see at a glance which peanuts have been ripened by the stones, because the weeds in the circle centered on the stones are taller than peanuts.

Outside the circle, although dense weeds also grow, they did not grow taller than these peanuts overnight.

Looking at this circle, Jiang Xiao narrowed her eyes, she was a little incredulous, because the diameter of this circle was not five meters, but ten meters.

Jiang Xiao measured it with his foot again, and there was no mistake, this time the range was the size of a circle of ten meters.

"Is it because the peanut is close to maturity and doesn't need much ability to ripen, so the range will be expanded?"

"Or is it used a certain number of times, and the stone will automatically expand the ripening range?"

Jiang Xiao didn't understand either, she walked to the circle ten meters away and pulled out some peanuts there.

Sure enough, the peanuts within the 10-meter range are ripe, and the peanuts outside are much more ripe than yesterday, but they are still not ready to be harvested.

Anyway, being able to mature so much at once, Jiang Xiao was very satisfied.

Pull up the sleeves, squat down and start working, pull out the peanuts and weeds with both hands neatly, she does not subdivide, directly knock the peanuts and weeds out of the soil, put them on the ground, and continue to pull them down.

This is Jiang Xiao's previous work memory, first pull out the peanuts from the ground, and then pick the peanuts from the rhizomes, so that the division of labor is reasonable, and the action is fast and not troublesome.

"Whew", Jiang Xiao's every move, between the big opening and closing, he was stunned to make the momentum of uprooting the weeping willows, and after a while, he finished pulling out the peanuts in the ten-meter circle.

Jiang Xiao stretched out his hand and knocked on his waist, and looked back at the peanuts that were pulled out and placed in the ground, neatly placed in the ground, and it was comfortable to look at.

A closer look is not less, a peanut rhizome is densely connected with a bunch of peanuts, and there are more than a dozen catties of them all plucked.

And there are no more, after all, the peanuts outside the circle are not ripe enough, and if they are collected and mixed together to sell, wouldn't it be another smashing signboard?

It's better to wait, and pick it when it's ripe tomorrow, Jiang Xiao thought to himself.

With her hand, she took the basket that had been placed on top of the cart beside her, and reached out to grab a large handful of peanuts and weeds.

Jiang Xiao didn't distinguish between weeds and peanuts, but grabbed a handful, lowered his head and picked up the earthy yellow peanuts with soil inside, picked them one by one, and after picking them, threw the leaves and weeds of the peanuts to the side, and after they were dried, they were fertilizer in the ground or burned as firewood.

I have to say that picking peanuts is much easier than making leeks, and you don't have to bother to separate all the weeds inside.

Jiang Xiao moved quickly, and picked out a basket full of peanuts.

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, she reached out and wiped the sweat on her face, "I didn't expect that this seemingly simple and easy farm work is so tiring." ”

Jiang Xiao wiped his sweat and looked around, because Jiang Xiao's family's land was leaning against the bottom of the mountain, and it was the last, so the land of the other villagers was in front, and no one went to the back.

But at this moment, he only saw a small dot running from a distance, Jiang Xiao squinted his eyes, and saw clearly that the person was Jiang Mei.

After Jiang Mei saw Jiang Xiao, she began to wave and shout from afar; "Sister, it's time to go home for dinner!"

I saw that Jiang Mei didn't see her little follower Jiang Chuan, it seemed that Grandpa Jiang was not worried about him coming out.

Jiang Xiao raised her head and looked at the sun, only to find that it was time to eat, she knocked on her waist again and licked her lips, it turned out that she had been busy all morning unconsciously, no wonder she was so tired and thirsty.

Looking at the basket of peanuts, Jiang Xiao smiled and praised himself: "Tsk! Jiang Xiao, you are amazing! ”

In the past, Jiang Xiao couldn't have imagined that she would still work in the field.

When Jiang Mei panted and ran in front of Jiang Xiao, the little girl was so hot that there were small beads of sweat on her nose, and Jiang Xiao put the straw hat on her head on her head.

"What are you in a hurry, just walk slowly, it's so hot, why don't you wear a hat?"

Jiang Mei tilted her head and smiled at Jiang Xiao, "I forgot." ”

"Alright, go home!"

Jiang Xiao took it out and put the peanuts with the soil on the cart, the cart was just enough to fit a basket, and there was no need to fix it, Jiang Xiao pushed the cart and a basket of peanuts to the house, and Jiang Mei trotted behind him.

After returning home and having lunch, Jiang Xiao continued to push the cart to the river, and she had to wash the soil off the peanuts.

Usually, the vegetables and sweet potatoes dug out of the ground by the people in the village are washed into the river with river water nearby, and now only Jiang Xiao and his family are washing clothes by the river.

In order not to stain the laundry area, Jiang Xiao trotted to the downstream position and washed the peanuts twice.

Looking at the basket of peanuts, Jiang Xiao was a little entangled, now that the sun is just right, did she take out the peanuts and sell them today? Or will you wait until tomorrow to sell it?

For Jiang Xiao's entanglement, Grandpa Jiang was very open, he smiled and said: "It's late now, the market in the town is in the morning, everyone goes to work in the afternoon, and no one goes to the market." ”

"Besides, why do you pick such a little peanut, it's not enough to sell it after going out, continue to pick a little more this afternoon, and sell it together tomorrow."
