The most suitable temperature for yam growth is 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the growth of yam also requires a large amount of water, and it is necessary to keep the growing environment moist.

The growth of yam also needs sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.

However, it is best to have a semi-shady environment, too strong direct sunlight will not be conducive to the growth of yams.

So, in general, yam is planted in the spring. Spring is a time when the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the growth and development of yams.

In summer, when the temperature is higher, the growth rate of yam is also faster. At this time, yam pruning and scaffolding can be set up to help improve the harvest.

As for the harvest, it is in the fall. At this time, the underground stems of the yam are fully developed and suitable for picking.

It is spring now, and the yam that Wen Xian is digging at this time is the yam that is being raised.

She didn't plan to plant yams on a large scale, but only planned to dig some back and plant them in the yard.

As for the rest, she will stay in the mountains and come back to dig up the fruit in the fall.

"Sister Wen, what is this, a medicinal herb?" Xue Xiaohua looked at Wen Xian's long stick dug out, her face full of puzzlement.

She'd never dug up this thing before, so she didn't know what it was.

"It's a medicinal herb, but it's also an ingredient." Wen Xian nodded and explained, "This is called yam, which is flat in nature, sweet in taste, and returns to the spleen, lungs, and kidney meridians. It has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, nourishing the spleen, lungs and kidneys, and consolidating essence and stopping the belt. ”

She changed her voice and said, "Of course, if you use it to eat, it is even more delicious." You can take it back and eat it fried, steamed, or stewed. ”

Looking at the yams dug up, Wen Xian was very excited. I thought that after the harvest season, these yams would have long been eaten or too old to eat, but I didn't expect that what was dug up was a fresh yam that had not yet sprouted.

This fresh yam is really effective, not only can it be used as medicine, but also as a dish.

I think it was the frequent snow in the past few months, which turned the whole mountain into a natural refrigerator, so that these yams were so well preserved.

"That's good, then I'll help dig it too." Xue Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and she took out another hoe and began to dig with Wen Xian.

Before she went out, she saw that Sister Wen didn't take a hoe, so she took the initiative to bring two handfuls, but she didn't expect to really use them.

There are a lot of yams, and Wen Xian dug up a basket full of them.

But after digging a basket, Wen Xian stopped, and gave half of the yam dug out to Xue Xiaohua.

"No, Sister Wen, this is what you found, I can't ask for it. If I want to, I'll look for it myself later, and then dig it up. Xue Xiaohua hurriedly refused and wanted to return the yam.

She has taken advantage of yesterday's goat milk, how can she continue to take advantage of it today.

What's more, if it weren't for Sister Wen telling her that her mother had become a star, she wouldn't have known it.

Sister Wen is right, her mother has become a star in the sky to protect her. Yesterday she looked at the stars, and dreamed of her mother's kiss.

Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "It's okay, there are so many yams left and right." These are all dug by us together, one and a half. If you want to dig after eating another day, then whoever digs it will be counted. ”

She lowered her voice and pointed to several places for Xue Xiaohua and said, "There, there, and there, there are yams in these places." Xiaohua, if you have finished eating these yams, or you want to stock up on some more, remember to come up and dig them. If your family wants to plant, come to me and I'll teach you how to plant. ”

The more Xue Xiaohua listened, the more anxious she became, and when she heard it, she directly covered her ears and stomped her feet: "Oh, Sister Wen, why do you say everything." ”

When others find these things, they are hiding them, hoping that they will all occupy them. Why did you come to Sister Wen and take the initiative to tell her?

The smile in Wen Xian's eyes was slightly deep, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "If there is anything we can't say, we can't finish eating." What's more, there are so many in the mountains, and they can't be dug up. Even if I'm done digging, I'll be able to grow it. ”

Mainly, there is only half of the basket left, and she wants to decorate the others.

This half-back basket of yams is enough to eat for half a month. You can also select a few to raise seedlings, and then select a few slices to dry as medicinal materials.

When I go back, take Sheng Li'er and dig a back basket, and it's almost the same.

Wen Xian blinked and reminded Xue Xiaohua: "You have to dig quickly, I will bring your seventh sister up to dig a basket later." ”

Hearing this, Xue Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Sister Wen, I'll call my father to come with me later, and dig a back basket." ”

Wait for Sister Wen to dig her and then dig it, so there shouldn't be anything.

Wen Xian smiled and continued to explore in the deep mountains.

It's not called a deep mountain, it's just about 100 meters deeper than the place where Xue Xiaohua and the others pick on weekdays.

But in this short 100 meters, in addition to yams, there are taro, fungus, chicken fir, and even matsutake and pine trees.

What does it mean to have a pine tree, it means to have a pine cone, and there are pine nuts in the pine cone!

That's pine nuts, even in the previous life, they weren't cheap.

It's okay to take this kind of good stuff back and eat it yourself, or take it out and sell it for money.

However, Wen Xian's back basket was already full, so she could only go back first.

She grabbed some pine cones and put them in the back basket, tied some firewood and covered them on the back basket, and then took Xue Xiaohua down the mountain together.

Xue Xiaohua also gained a lot with her, and even the dress of the back basket was well learned.

Wen Xian thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Xiaohua, I will come here again later, you come with me and carry the basket on your back." That pine cone, there's good stuff in it. ”

For the first time on the mountain today, Xue Xiaohua showed her the way, and she was willing to share today's things with her.

Xue Xiaohua's heart was slightly warm, thinking that if she resigned, she would definitely be pushed back by Sister Wen for a reason, so she nodded fiercely and agreed.

Since it's a good thing, then she will pick it up slower later, pick up less, and wait for Sister Wen to pick up more.

Coincidentally, when they went down the mountain, the two ran into Zhang's third sister-in-law again.

Zhang San's sister-in-law had the courage to look at the two of them on the back basket, and only saw some firewood, so she snorted lightly and left in a hurry.

Wen Xian: ......

Xue Xiaohua: ......

Wen Xian is simply indescribable, she is a vegetable and a lover, she is talking about people like Zhang Sansao.

I was so scared that I wanted to die, so I had to come up.

However, it doesn't matter who is left or right, Wen Xian doesn't want to pay too much attention to it. After carrying the things back, she called Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren to go up the mountain with her to beat pine nuts.

Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren also carried a basket on their backs, pretending to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Fortunately, everyone has already gone to pick up a round of mushrooms, and they are all preparing breakfast at home, and there are not many people outside.

Calling Xue Xiaohua halfway, the four of them walked quickly to the pine forest.

The reason why she didn't call Carpenter Xue was that Wen Xian felt that Carpenter Xue was a person who would cause trouble. With him, the target is too big and easy to cause disputes.
