Chapter 539: Sweet potatoes are ripe
The autumn wind rises, and the cold dew is heavy.
It's harvest time again.
The entire Shenshu Village was full of joy.
The year was smooth from beginning to end, with wheat still piling up in the barn in the summer and a bumper harvest of corn, sorghum and soybeans in the fall.
Looking at the golden red in the field, everyone in Shenshu Village had a smile on their faces.
Originally, when the corn was about to ripen, two autumn rains fell in the Nanguan Mountain area, and it is said that several plots of land in Xiashan Village were flooded.
In particular, Xia Qinghe's ex-husband Han Shan's land was the most severely affected, the corn was suffocated, the sorghum was moldy, and the soybeans were rotten in the ground. There were also some families who came to Shenshu Village with Han Shan to make trouble, although the disaster was not so serious, but the harvest was affected to some extent.
In the entire Nanguan Mountain area, only Shenshu Village did nothing in this autumn rain.
Not only did it not affect, but the crops were ripe just right.
With a smile on their faces, everyone calculated how much more grain they could get this year, leaving enough people and animals to eat, and selling the rest to make a lot of money.
In Shenshu Village, the harvest of the old Bai family is even more prosperous.
The ears of corn were unusually full, the sorghum was hanging down to the ground in bunches, and the soybeans were bursting open the pods one by one.
The Bai family had money and bought a lot of fertile land, which was planted by hired people from fields outside Shenshu Village. However, the land of Shenshu Village still insists on growing it by itself, especially Bai Dazhuang, who is accustomed to serving the crops himself.
Seeing the crops growing so well in my own field, I couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the fruitful crops of the Lao Bai family, the people in the village were envious.
Although his family has more food than before, it is still incomparable with the Bai family.
Let's just say that with the same land, the same seeds, and the same fertilizer, the Bai family's crops are better than others, and they have more harvests than others.
"Da Zhuang, what are you planting in this field?"
Village Chief Zhao came home from the cornfield and saw Bai Dazhuang bending over to work in his field.
And Xiao Fuyuan followed on the side, with a smile on his face.
No one pays attention to the Bai family's land on weekdays, and when Village Chief Zhao saw the vines all over the ground in the summer, he thought it was Bai Dazhuang's newly cultivated watermelon or something.
It's just that there is no flowering and no fruit.
At this time, it was still a vine in autumn, and Bai Dazhuang stood in the ground with a smile on his face, so he asked curiously.
Bai Dazhuang kept in mind what Ah Zhen said, the matter of sweet potatoes must be hidden, even if it is the village chief, he can't tell the truth.
"Uncle Zhao, it's nothing, this is the vine that my sister found in the mountains, I'll plant it and try it." Bai Dazhuang scratched his head and said.
When Village Chief Zhao heard that it was a vine found by Xiao Fuyuan on the mountain, he couldn't help but be in awe.
You know, Xiao Fuyuan pulled out the millet seeds with a casual pull, although the taste of that thing is not as good as wheat, but it saved many people during the drought last year.
Otherwise, where did Xiao Fuyuan, the township master, come from?
I don't know what this vine can produce.
"Xiao Yuanbao, I'm afraid you're not making meritorious service again."
Village Chief Zhao smiled at Xiao Fuyuan, he was in a good mood, the wheat harvest was bumper in summer, and the corn harvest was again in autumn.
My barn is not ready to fill.
Not only themselves, but the whole village is full of barns.
Last time, Zhang County Commander praised himself for governing the village well.
He is humble in his mouth, but weak in heart.
This is how he has a good village, this is a Furong township lord in his Shenshu Village, and it is all brought by the blessing of the Furong township owner.
"Uncle Village Chief, I don't know what this is, let my eldest brother plant and play." Xiao Fuyuan said with big eyes.
Bai Dazhuang said helplessly: "Since my sister wants to plant, I just need to set aside a piece of land to plant, in order to make my sister happy." ”
Village Chief Zhao smiled, the old Bai family really spoiled Xiao Fuyuan, and said that if he opened up a piece of land, he would open up a piece of land.
But I can't say what luck this thing can bring to the Bai family.
Village Chief Zhao squatted on the ground and smoked a pot of cigarettes, pulled the vines in the sweet potato field a few times, and couldn't pull them out, so he shook his head lightly and left.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Xiao Fuyuan also had a time to step on thunder.
The vines that don't bloom and don't bear fruit can probably only be fed to pigs!
Seeing that the village chief had walked away, Xiao Fuyuan said to Bai Dazhuang: "Big brother, dig it." ”
Bai Dazhuang endured his excitement and asked, "Sister, is this really mature?" ”
Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile: "Just dig it out and see if you know." ”
Bai Dazhuang looked at this vine and pulled that one in the field, and he couldn't decide which one to dig.
"Big brother, dig this one." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to a vine under his feet, this purple-red vine, the leaves are about to wither, and it is estimated that it is ripe.
Bai Dazhuang obeyed his sister, picked up the hoe and came to Xiao Fuyuan's side, took a deep breath and began to dig.
Xiao Fuyuan squatted next to him and looked at it seriously.
Thinking about the delicious roasted sweet potatoes she was about to eat, she was excited.
She thought about it for a long, long time, and every day she came to the field to take a turn and order the sweet potatoes to grow well.
Grow big and sweet.
Bai Dazhuang was afraid of digging into the sweet potato, so he dug very carefully around the vine little by little.
"It's very deep." Bai Dazhuang muttered to himself, and at the same time he was very nervous, afraid that if it was not planted, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water.
I'm not afraid of wasting an acre of land, I'm worried that my sister will be disappointed.
"Big brother, keep digging." Xiao Fuyuan gave Bai Da a strong boost.
Bai Dazhuang, a good farmer, the hand digging the hoe began to tremble.
"Big brother, look, it's out."
Xiao Fuyuan exclaimed.
Bai Dazhuang lowered his head and saw two red round sweet potatoes revealing under the hoe.
Bai Dazhuang was afraid that the hoe would hurt the sweet potato, so he threw away the hoe and began to pick up the soil around the sweet potato with both hands.
"It's out! What a big sweet potato! ”
Two fat sweet potatoes were pulled out by Bai Dazhuang.
This sweet potato is bigger than the sweet potato brought by the third child of the Bai family from Nanyang.
"Sister, it's really grown." Bai Dazhuang's excited tone changed.
Bai Dazhuang looked at the two big sweet potatoes, his eyes moistened.
He was really able to cultivate sweet potatoes, and this sweet potato from the South Seas really took root and sprouted in Shenshu Village.
"Big brother, I knew you could grow it, big brother is so powerful." Xiao Fuyuan gave Bai Dazhuang a thumbs up.
Bai Dazhuang, who was praised by his sister, was full of red light.
"Big brother, there's still one in it." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the ground.
Bai Dazhuang carefully placed the two sweet potatoes under the vines next to him and continued to dig.
Sure enough, as Xiao Fuyuan said, there are still below.
Then dig out one, and another, and another......
Eight sweet potatoes, large and small, plus a total of ten that were dug up.
Bai Dazhuang was excited again, it was really like what his sister said, sweet potatoes were so able to bear fruit.
As far as he could see, the sweet potato vines were all over the ground, and the withered leaves were about to spread in the wind.
How many sweet potatoes can be harvested in this acre of land!
If you plant a large area, how many people can be fed!
"Sister, look, so many sweet potatoes." Bai Dazhuang spoke incoherently excitedly.
"Big brother, the sweet potatoes are ripe." Xiao Fuyuan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
Fresh, freshly dug sweet potatoes can also be eaten.
Xiao Fuyuan was thirsty and wanted to quench his thirst with a bite of sweet sweet potatoes.
"Can you eat it raw?" Bai Dazhuang asked.
"Yes, big brother." Xiao Fuyuan said.
If it were someone else, Bai Dazhuang would definitely be reluctant.
But this sweet potato belongs to his sister, and his sister is happy to eat them all.
Bai Dazhuang wiped the soil off the sweet potato with the leaves, and after breaking it open, it revealed a white juicy pulp.
Xiao Fuyuan took it and took a bite.
Crunchy, fragrant and sweet.
