Chapter 432: Pinch the tip of the watermelon vine

Jiang Xinyan heard a terrible scream, "Husband, are Brother Xiang and Xiao Song Jiang playing tricks on people?" ”

Chu Lixuan's internal strength is profound, and he heard the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao very clearly, but he didn't have time to say it yet.

Because, Jiang Xinyan is teaching the captain to grow watermelons, and Second Uncle Cheng and the team leaders are pinching the tips of watermelon vines.

At this time, his daughter-in-law asked him, so she leaned close to her ear and whispered to Jiang Xinyan about the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao.

Chu Lixuan said slowly in his unique magnetic voice, and he didn't forget to say a word after speaking.

"Song Mingjiang and Brother Xiang, the two of them don't have that much ability! It's okay to play with children, but they are still far from dealing with Dai Yuntao. ”

Jiang Xinyan: "......" She was about to praise the two little guys, but when she heard the man's words, she couldn't say anything to praise.

Chu Lixuan looked at her little expression proudly, he was so happy that he didn't want it, this is the best.

Why praise others! Not even a child, and if she could, she could only praise him.

When Chu Lixuan and his wife rode past the watermelon field, Jiang Xinyan saw the watermelon growers fertilizing and pinching the tips of the watermelon vines.

She told the captain and squad leader of the watermelon planting that when the watermelon vine grows to 50 to 60 centimeters, it is necessary to pinch off the head and apply fertilizer in time.

Therefore, the people who planted watermelons were busy, so Jiang Xinyan and Chu Lixuan got off the horse and taught them how to pinch the watermelon vines.

Whether it is before flowering, fruit setting or after fruit setting, it is necessary to pinch the tip of the watermelon vine to reduce nutrient consumption so that the nutrients grow on the fruit.

"Madame, you know so much! We've lived in the north for decades, and no one has ever grown a watermelon. ”

Second Uncle Cheng is now the captain of the watermelon planting team, and his wife taught them to pinch the tip of the watermelon vine before, he is very strange and very attentive to the implementation.

Knowing the main point, it's not very difficult, the captain of the watermelon planting team was the second uncle of Song before, and after he applied to raise horses, the second uncle Cheng rose from the captain of the team to the captain of the watermelon planting team.

When he was in the capital thirty years ago, he had eaten watermelon, and he was exiled to this barren and bitter cold place.

He had forgotten what watermelons looked like, and now he felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw that some watermelon vines had egg-sized watermelons on them.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Second Uncle Cheng is busy in the watermelon field, because the time for the watermelon vine to pinch the tip should be appropriate.

Generally, when the main vine of watermelon grows to 50 centimeters, you can pinch off your head, and it is not once, it should be pinched once every three to five days, and a vine needs to be pinched three to four times.

There are a lot of watermelons planted in their castle, and they are watermelons planted in the wilderness, so the time is not uniform, some are a few days earlier and some are a few days late.

Therefore, Second Uncle Cheng is busy pinching the tip of the watermelon every day, and in the process of pinching the tip of the watermelon vine, he has to pull back the vine at the front end of the young melon.

Wrap around the young melons and pinch off the shoots at the top of the vine to concentrate the nutrients on the fruiting side branches.

If the side branches are long, the shoots also need to be pinched, which is conducive to the growth of the fruit, and Uncle Cheng is very rare.

"Master Chu, Mrs. Chu, I saw this little watermelon yesterday that was only the size of an egg, and now it has the size of a bowl, and it grows a lot in a day!"

"Well, you need to pay attention to the fact that after the watermelon bears fruit, the nutrients are mainly concentrated on the fruit, and the vine grows slowly, so don't pinch the tip again."

Jiang Xinyan was also very happy to look at the small watermelons that grew in a day, they planted watermelons in the space and ate them a long time ago.

However, they can't take it out and eat it, and the couple doesn't have much energy to eat alone.

Now I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I see the watermelons that everyone grows up outside and grows them up.

In more than 20 days, the earliest watermelon will be ready to eat, and I will be happy to think about that scene.

"Pay attention to the one over there, before the watermelon blooms, if the watermelon vine grows very fast, it is necessary to carry out topping, remove the top of the main vine and the side vine, so that the watermelon vine does not grow.

In this way, it will be easier for beautiful flowers to come out, and it will be easier for them to bear fruit later.

When the watermelon vine grows the first, larger watermelon, you should pick the first watermelon in time, and when the second melon grows to the size of an egg, you can pinch the tip of the vine.

When the fruit is vigorous, the vines are full of vines and dense foliage, and in addition to topping, it is necessary to prune the excess branches and leaves.

When pinching the tip, press the vine on one side, and then start the top from the eighth leaf at the top of the fruit, and if there are many branches, pluck the side vine. ”

After Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, she thought that someone would come to ask her questions, but everyone understood, and she didn't need to say more at all.

"We all remember, it turns out that we still need to know so much about growing watermelons!" A squad leader said admiringly.

He was one of the exiles who was exiled with Chu Lixuan and them, and to be precise, he still didn't suffer much.

was a four-grade official in the capital before, but he was framed by his colleagues and exiled because he offended someone, and his wife never left him and came with him.

There was a lot of silver on the road, and the food along the road was quite good, and finally when there was a locust plague, everyone was hungry for a few days, so they followed Chu Lixuan and his wife to eat and drink spicy.

Those who really made mistakes and misbehaved were starved to death on the way.

Those who can stay are of okay character, and almost all of them are wronged officials.

"Yes, whether it's growing watermelons, rice, potatoes, or vegetables, you have to know a little bit of technology." Jiang Xinyan shook her hair arrogantly and said.

To be a farmer is also to be educated, have the technology to farm, not only high yield but also twice the result with half the effort.

"Madame is right, we have been here for more than 30 years, and no one has ever grown such beautiful seedlings here, and there are potatoes, I have never seen them."

Second Uncle Cheng said with emotion, it was not his heart, the fact was that the seedlings they planted before were shorter.

Not to mention potatoes, which can fill the stomach, and yacon juice, they didn't know yacon could eat before!

Dai Yuntao was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse, causing his guards to scream.

His guards didn't know that his internal strength had recovered, thinking that he was still seriously injured.

However, Dai Yuntao's strong martial arts naturally did not really fall, and he sat down steadily with a flying body as soon as he mentioned the internal force.

He was so shocked that he forgot that he was sitting on a horse, and he tilted a little.

Song Mingjiang exaggeratedly patted his chest with his little hand: "I'm scared to death, big brother, didn't you say that you won't be shocked anymore, my soul is scared away by you." ”

Dai Yuntao: "......" slapped his face.
