Chapter 25: Don't You Have Enough to Eat on a Weekday?
The old patriarch was so powerful, so that the dissatisfaction in Zhu Yuanyuan's heart gradually dissipated, and he happily agreed to teach the people to plant potatoes.
However, it is late autumn now, and it is too late to plant another crop, after all, it is a new potato that has just been dug out of the ground, and it may still be in the dormant period, and it takes more time to germinate.
Zhu He couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "You really can't plant it now?" ”
"It's not that it can't," Zhu Yuanyuan said, "it's just that the germination time should be extended, and the snow season has not yet fully grown, and the temperature is too low at that time, and the potatoes will freeze to death even if they are buried in the ground, unless they are dug up before the snow." ”
She pointed to the new potatoes scattered on the ground, "The potatoes that were harvested in advance are estimated to be a lot smaller." ”
Zhu He still asked without giving up, "What do potato seeds look like, and how did you grow them?" ”
"The seed is the potato itself," Zhu Yuanyuan repeats his undisguised planting method.
She wants to improve the living environment and enrich the dining table, but she is not willing to farm all day facing the loess with her back to the sky, and it is urgent to spread the planting technology.
The orcs all make a living by hunting, and have never farmed, but they are dizzy when they hear it.
Don't ask, if you ask, you don't understand.
The old patriarch was a little wise, understood most of it, and made a decision after a little thought, "Harvest the potatoes first, see the yield of this land, and then decide whether to continue planting the next crop." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and couldn't help affirming, "This is the potato I planted!" ”
"I know," Zhu He praised with a smile, "Yuanyuan is really amazing, not only can he find new food, but he also grows it." ”
"You can't change the fact that the potato is me," Zhu Yuanyuan was not fooled.
The things she worked so hard to grow should not be given away.
Planting technology is knowledge, engraved in the mind, even if it spreads, it will not be lost, potatoes are different, and if you give it away, you will be gone.
Zhu Yuanyuan was clearly prepared, and Zhu Dayao reluctantly opened his mouth to coax, "Yuanyuan, you are not young, you should know that there is a shortage of food in the snow season, even if it is for everyone to eat a few more bites, you should give the potatoes to the old patriarch to plant, okay?" ”
"This ......" Zhu Yuanyuan was a little entangled, "but the potatoes at home have all been eaten, and only these freshly planted ones are left, so you have to leave some seeds for me!" ”
There is no physical object to cover up, even if you buy seeds in the mall, you don't dare to take them out openly, just like sweet potatoes and purple potatoes planted in another corner.
"Stay, of course I have to leave it for you," Zhu He was also unambiguous.
After the discussion, the orcs of the fifth hunting team began to work, turning into beast shapes and arching their noses indiscriminately, and soon pulled out all the potatoes.
If you don't take into account the arched land, this is quite efficient.
Zhu Yuanyuan planted potatoes for the first time, even if he had technical guidance (Tongzi), he didn't dare to be greedy, he only planted about three points of land, but the harvest was very good, and he looked like seven or eight hundred catties.
It is worthy of a high yield of potatoes, and it did not disappoint her.
Zhu He rubbed his hands excitedly, and after circling around the potatoes a few times, he bent down and picked out a dozen large potatoes, "Yuanyuan, I mean what I say, and I'll leave these to you." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan's fiery heart instantly cooled down, and he asked as tactfully as possible, "Did the old patriarch take the wrong one?" ”
"That's right," Zhu He smiled with a wrinkled face, "You have the greatest credit, the clan will not treat you badly, take it, and wait for the hunting team to come back in the evening to give your family more meat." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan, "......" she is too little, not that she feels too much and embarrassed to take it!
But in the face of the selfless one-armed old patriarch, some words could not be said at all, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.
Forget it, the potato yield is so high, it's a big deal to plant again next year and keep more seeds.
The potatoes left for her were specially picked out, all of them weighed a catty, Zhu Yuanyuan took the small bamboo basket placed next to it, first spread a layer of hay at the bottom, and then carefully put the potatoes in.
Since you want to keep it for seeding, you have to keep it well, and you can't even break the skin.
After packing her things and preparing to leave, she ran into a problem again, and she tried to stand up with a small basket on her back, but she fell and squatted.
"Hahaha~" Zhu Dayao laughed unkindly, "Yuanyuan, haven't you eaten enough on weekdays?" I can't carry anything like that. ”
Zhu Yuanyuan said angrily, "Grandpa, I'm only five years old!" ”
"Five years old is not too young," Zhu Dayao smacked his lips and said proudly, "When I was your age, I could already carry a hundred pounds of prey." ”
"Really?" Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes widened.
Zhu Dayao pretended to be angry, "Of course it's true, I can still lie to you, this little girl." ”
"Okay, you are old, you have the final say," Zhu Yuanyuan sent the back basket and asked with a sweet smile, "Okay, grandpa, you can help me send the potatoes back~"
She didn't have the slightest feeling of enslaving the old man, after all, Grandpa was the strength of the middle stage of the Xuan Rank, nearly ninety years old, and his body was still tough, stronger than her five-year-old body.
"Send it, send it," Zhu Dayao couldn't help his granddaughter's coquettishness, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose upward, "Female cubs are squeamish." ”
Turning his head and rushing at Zhu Daodao, "Old patriarch, you guys are busy first, and I'll come when I go." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan advised, "Be careful in germination, and be sure to dig a pit in the east-west direction of the ventilation and chaoyang......
Babbled and repeated the precautions before stopping.
Zhu He nodded while listening, and finished remembering the square road, "Don't worry, I'll let people call you to watch when the germination is promoted." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan's round black line, she knew this earlier, and she didn't bother to talk too much.
Tsk, nothing is going well today.
Zhu Yuanyuan, who felt that his luck was low, decided not to go out again after returning home, and stayed at home for a few days to avoid it.
Zhu Dayao didn't know what his granddaughter was thinking, so he lifted the small bamboo basket to himself, "This basket is good, it is suitable for going out to collect, who made it?" ”
Nowadays, it is not very convenient to use animal skin bags and vine baskets to go out to collect, and this basket in front of you can not only free your hands, but also save effort.
It's crooked, it's a bit ugly.
"I made it up," Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes were shining, "How about it, it's good-looking, right?" ”
"Not bad, it's very good-looking," Zhu Dayao praised unconcernedly, "I have time to teach Grandpa to be one." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't agree immediately, "I've been a little busy lately, I'm afraid I don't have time, I'll talk about it in a few days." ”
"But I'm in a hurry," Zhu Dayao discussed with his granddaughter, "Where are your little cubs so busy, just find a way to squeeze out some free time to teach me." ”
"Who said that cubs are all right to be busy, I am busy every day," Zhu Yuanyuan said arrogantly, "Grandpa is really anxious to learn and can find Daddy, he can do my true inheritance." ”
Zhu Dayao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Okay, you're so busy, I won't bother you." ”
He lowered his eyes and looked at the small backpack he was carrying in his hand, and prayed secretly, "I hope that stupid boy of Ah Qiang will look good." ”
The grandfather and grandson each had their own thoughts, and they went home one after the other.
