Chapter 187: Sweet Potato
Tang Jingyun clapped his hands, "Soak it overnight, and take it out to dry tomorrow." ”
Two days later, Tang Jingyun put on a sharp short, carried a basket on his back, followed Zhao Xiaozhou and others, and entered Beishan.
After the summer harvest is over, the sweet potatoes can be transplanted.
Tang Jingyun entered the mountain this time, naturally to take out the sweet potatoes.
Tang Jingyun walked all the way ahead, catching game from time to time, this is what she called hunting.
The Wei brothers knew that they were out hunting, and several of them carried bows and arrows, and they also hunted a few hares and pheasants along the way.
It's not that the big prey can't be hunted, but it's just too lazy to carry it back.
After walking for a long time, I came to the place where Tang Jingyun planted sweet potatoes.
After a few months, the imprint of the original planting is no longer visible.
However, Tang Jingyun still knew the approximate location of this place, not to mention, as soon as he saw the sweet potato seedlings, Tang Jingyun could know where the sweet potatoes were.
The face is not obvious, it looks like it is the first time to come, and then as if he saw something inadvertently, he squatted down and said "Huh".
Zhao Xiaozhou also squatted down, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Jingyun frowned, "I think this plant is a little familiar." ”
She took out her hoe, opened the sweet potato seedlings and carefully dug them down, and then dug out a piece of sweet potato that had been unrecognizable with a rhizome attached.
Zhao Xiaozhou was puzzled: "This is the fruit it bears?" It's broken. ”
Tang Jingyun shook his head and meditated: "It is indeed a fruit when it looks like it." ”
Then her eyes suddenly lit up, "I remembered!" ”
Tang Jingyun turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaozhou: "What is this called, I also saw it in that book." ”
"What potato?"
"The peel is red, as if it is called a sweet potato." Tang Jingyun said, "This is indeed a fruit, but it is the first year to bear, and these shoots should have just been initiated." ”
As he spoke, he pinched a sweet potato tip, his voice was crisp, and he looked very tender.
Zhao Dayue raised his head and asked, "Can you eat sweet potatoes?" ”
Tang Jingyun said excitedly: "Of course you can eat it." ”
She talks about the benefits of sweet potatoes, focusing on the fact that they are resistant to barrenness.
"Look at these seedlings just coming out, it is estimated that they will not bear fruit yet, let's take them back and plant them."
Zhao Xiaozhou opened his mouth and asked, "Dig it back directly?" ”
Tang Jingyun thought for a while and said, "I think we can cut vines and cuttings." ”
No one present knew how to take care of the plants better than Tang Jingyun, and Zhao Xiaozhou said directly: "Then cut the vines." ”
The two got out of the way, and the Wei brothers, under the guidance of Tang Jingyun, cut off all the sweet potato seedlings with the daggers they carried, and then put them in a back basket and carried them back.
The sweet potato vine that was carried back, Tang Jingyun chose a piece of land specially used for seedling cultivation and planted it.
She has been keeping two plots of land to raise seedlings, and over time, everyone in the village knows that she has planted in these two plots, but if there is anything they have not seen, they will know that it is a new plant that Tang Jingyun got back.
Tang Jingyun took out these sweet potatoes, and the seedlings that were finally launched were planted for more than half an acre.
Tang Jingyun also packed a basket of sweet potato leaves and handed them to Li Cuiyu for her to fry and eat.
Zhao Xiaozhou thought that only fruits could be eaten, but he didn't expect that the leaves could also be eaten, and the taste was very good.
Zhao Xiaozhou said with satisfaction: "Presumably, the taste of the fruit is better. ”
Tang Jingyun also said expectantly: "Sure." ”
Thinking about the taste of roasted sweet potatoes in his memory, as well as the wide flour made from sweet potatoes, Tang Jingyun couldn't wait for time to immediately jump to the time of sweet potato harvesting.
However, Tang Jingyun calculated.
Depending on their climate, sweet potatoes have to go in September or October.
It's not sweet when it's early, it's not delicious.
In Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village, there were many people who followed Tang Jingyun into the mountains to carry Yaya trees, and almost every family planted these trees.
Therefore, the difference in the yield of each household in the summer harvest is not obvious in Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village.
But only a few people in other villages have planted these trees, and the difference in yield is particularly significant.
Because of the possibility of drought this year, the main grains grown in the village, such as wheat and rapeseed, Tang Jingyun reminded the villagers before the summer harvest that it is best not to sell them first.
The villagers of Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village made a lot of money relying on Jiang Fan, so they chose to follow her words almost without asking for a reason.
In other villages, due to the large-scale reduction in yield per mu, they have realized that the weather conditions are not good today, and they have no plans to sell grain at present.
This is what Tang Jingyun is happy to see.
The summer harvest is over, and the summer planting is closely followed.
Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village live near the water.
The sky is not beautiful, it is just a little tired, but there is no shortage of water.
Therefore, this year, as in previous years, everyone will continue to plant as much rice as they should plant.
The main thing is that this rice seed is different from previous years.
In the first year after Tang Jingyun returned to Dayakouzi and Ligou villages, her family's rice and corn yields were particularly high.
When planting rice and corn last year, Li Zhijue was the first to buy these two seeds from Tang Jingyun.
Then, last year, although the rice and corn yields of Li Zhijue's family were not as high as Tang Jingyun's, they were also the best compared to others.
Therefore, after the harvest ended last autumn, many villagers took the lead in buying rice and corn seeds.
In the end, the whole village made trouble, except for Liu Ergou and Liu Xianglan, who Tang Jingyun hated, and the rice and corn planted by the others this year all came out of Tang Jingyun's land.
Most of the people in Lishui Village have now returned to their villages and work in the village's sugar factory.
Therefore, this year, Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village can only find short-term workers, so the distance has lengthened a lot.
Now even in the nearby villages of the county seat, there are people who go to Dayakouzi Village and Ligou Village to find work, but the road is not close.
Tang Jingyun's family has very little serious land, but he has many mountains, and during the summer harvest, it is the time to plant the spirit ginseng fruit and the red spirit Bodhi fruit.
Because of the diversion between the sugar refinery and the tea mountain, it is in a state of shortage of manpower at any time.
At this time, as long as these short-term workers come, they can basically find work.
The weather after summer planting was as Tang Jingyun guessed.
Hot and little rain.
The crops in the fields do not look energetic, and every day there are day laborers who fetch water from the nearby river to water the fields.
There are generally fewer people selling grain this year.
As the temperature rises repeatedly, the price of food also begins to rise.
The rise in food prices has only affected ordinary people.
Those people in the upper echelons don't care at all.
At this time, it is the time for the Qingmen Green Jade House to be listed.
Some people have been looking forward to it for a long time, and they can't help but go to the Xianzhen Pavilion to inquire and ask when their family will have Qingmen green jade for sale.
This year, Qingmen Green Jade House has expanded its production.
Even if there are businessmen from other places who come to receive the goods in person every day, the number of goods shipped to Shangjing each time is more than last year.
Because the Qingmen Green Jade Room of Xianzhen Pavilion is rumored to have an effect like ginseng, even if the amount is large, Tang Jingyun's Qingmen Green Jade House is still in short supply in Shangjing.
