Chapter 212: Harvest! (Prelude to the start of a new chapter)
Time flies like a white horse.
Su Jian's daily schedule is hectic and fulfilling, traveling from village to village, inspecting the fields and thinking about how to improve the cultivation and growth of crops.
Gradually, crayfish farming was successful, and spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish became the main dishes of Xiaosu Restaurant, which was more popular than bean curd.
As Qin Hao wished, the branch of Xiao Su Restaurant opened, and as the shopkeeper of two big stores, his daily smile never disappeared, and the nasolabial folds on his face were deep, but now they are even worse.
The business of Xiao Su's workshop is also progressing steadily, and Su Dacheng intends to make a dart game by himself, wanting to promote products such as bean paste further and make more profits. What Su Jian means is that she can't come up with a plan, but because she is her father, she has to agree to whatever he says.
Three months have passed.
Sweet potato vines have grown several pig worms during the growth period, and the pig worms are generally because the leaves are too long and too long, so they can be left alone, or properly sprayed with a little deworming medicine, but thinking of the pig worm meat, Su Jian thinks that it is very good to let the chicken eat, anyway, it will not affect the low sweet potato, if the chicken is fattened, and then sell, it is also a lot of income.
In the yard.
Wang Yong looked at Su Jian and stopped talking. They have never planted sweet potatoes, and they don't know what the results of sweet potatoes are, but he has been caring, and when he saw some sweet potato vines blooming, he was very happy that the sweet potato vines were finally going to bear fruit, but in an instant, he found that there were not many flowers, and not long ago Su Jian had been letting chickens roam freely in the sweet potato field, and many leaves were destroyed, he had been very worried, and quietly didn't know how many times he went to see the ground, but except for the leaves, except for the vines, he didn't see the sweet potatoes at all.
He didn't tell Su Jian......
Many people have already started to rumor privately that Su Jian actually doesn't know how to farm at all, and the sweet potatoes she grows only have leaves!
"Tomorrow we will gather all the villagers, and at the same time, let the croppers in the general's mansion go to Xiashan Village together, and tomorrow we will dig sweet potatoes." Su Jian said.
"Digging sweet potatoes?"
Su Jian looked at Wang Yong and saw that Wang Yong was stunned: "Sweet potatoes grow in the ground, don't you have to dig them?" Thinking of something, she added: "Call Mrs. Li tomorrow and them, remember to bring the cart and the back basket, the sweet potato vine is cut and chopped finely and then cooked and fed to the pig, it is a good food for the pig, a big supplement." ”
Wang Yong was shocked and because of the shock in his heart, he couldn't take his eyes off Su Jian for a long time, and he didn't lower his head until Su Jian looked over. How could he doubt Madame again, Madame made a move, and he never made a mistake.
Day 2.
The sweet potato field in Xiashan Village is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, because there are so many people, many people are next to each other, and people are crowded with people.
"Madame summoned all of us here so that we could see the ground full of vine leaves?"
"Maybe it's sweet potatoes."
"Come on, if it's a sweet potato, it takes so much effort, just a few leaves! Enough for whom! ”
"Hey! There has never been a reason for women to farm the land. ”
"Could it be that the land we saw in the General's Mansion before is actually just bearing the name of Madame, and in fact, it is not Madame's handiwork at all?"
……
Wang Yong coughed heavily, satisfied to see that the people around him stopped talking, and snorted coldly in his heart. The lesson given to them was still not enough, the board was beaten, and many people were arrested to build the road, but they still dared to talk about it.
The main gate of the village who had been beaten by Wang Yong before was silent, and his face was a little pale, what they said just now, Wang Yong didn't hear clearly who said it, right?
Huang Ze broke a path and let Su Jian walk into the sweet potato field.
Su Jian actually heard their discussions, but she didn't take them to heart, they hadn't seen sweet potatoes, it was normal to have doubts, and the next thing she had to do was to solve their doubts.
Su Jian took the hoe from Wang Yong's hand, bent down and sorted out the sweet potato vine, in fact, the sweet potato vine can be cut first, but she forgot to tell it before, but it doesn't matter, it can be ordered in a while, there are many of them, and it won't take long to finish it.
On the small hill, the Seventh Prince, Jin Ming, was looking at Su Jian in the field, he was very curious about Su Jian's next move, and at the same time he had some expectations, hoping that Su Jian could really grow something. After all, the emperor asked Su Jian to manage the agricultural affairs of the entire county, but Su Jian's actual operation was only Xiashan Village, if someone with a heart made trouble behind his back, or went to the emperor to speak forward, slacking off His Majesty's orders, it would bring trouble to the general's mansion.
Zhan Zhan is confident in Su Jian, she has heard Su Jian's eloquent talk about sweet potatoes, in fact, Su Jian's later operation of the sweet potato field is also as she said.
Su Jian held the hoe and took a breath quietly, even if she was sure that the sweet potato planting this time was very successful, but when it was really time to dig, she was still a little nervous.
"After the sweet potato vine is set aside, gently dig up the most surface soil, remember not too deep and not too thick, pay attention to the traces of sweet potatoes when digging, and after seeing sweet potatoes, take sweet potatoes as the center and dig the soil from all sides. The action must be light, or it will ...... Small sweet potatoes will be dug up and rotten, which will be detrimental to storage. Su Jian spoke, and the corner of his eye noticed that Wang Yong and Huang Ze understood and began to operate.
With a hoe down, Su Jian saw the red exposed in the soil, she began to loosen the surrounding soil, and when she saw that it was almost over, she bent down and grabbed the vines, twisting and lifting them up, and gradually one after another, bright red and huge sweet potatoes appeared in everyone's sight.
Jin Ming stood up directly from his position.
One, two, three, four...... Seven! There are seven sweet potatoes on one vine, all of which are big and full! With such a big sweet potato, adults should be full if they eat two at a meal.
"Wow, seven sweet potatoes, no, eight, although the last one is a little small."
"Oh my God, it turns out that sweet potatoes grow in the ground!"
"Oh my God...... What kind of crop is this, on one vine, there are so many ......"
……
There was a constant sound of pumping and exclamation in her ears, compared to Wang Yong and Huang Ze's peace of mind, Su Jian was really happy, the land in Xiashan Village was really suitable for planting, and the yield of sweet potatoes was even better than she expected, to be honest, she couldn't wait to see how much sweet potatoes per mu of this land was.
"Wang Yong, you just learned that I have no tricks, if not, I'll try again." After Su Jian finished speaking, she thought of something, and decided to demonstrate it again, after all, this batch of sweet potatoes is very precious, and if she grows seeds in the coming year, she can harvest more, if she digs it out, she will feel distressed.
Su Jian directly began to dig again.
On a sweet potato vine, six or seven large sweet potatoes appeared again.
Seeing this, Jin Ming couldn't stand at all. One is accidental, two are not! If every sweet potato vine has so many sweet potatoes, if this is promoted...... Will there still be people who don't have enough to eat, and the court will lack food?
He didn't need to worry about what would happen to the General's Mansion because of this, the blessings of the General's Mansion were ahead!
After everyone saw the sweet potatoes on the sweet potato vine again, they were all excited, they hated to dig the sweet potatoes in the field by themselves, but they couldn't, it wasn't their turn.
Wang Yong and Huang Ze glanced at each other, their eyes were full of excitement, they loudly told everyone to dig carefully, and they all followed Su Jian's example just now and began to dig sweet potatoes.
And Mrs. Li and the others were on the side, picking the sweet potatoes and putting them in the back basket, while sorting out the sweet potato vines.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy and excitement.
