Hard times have room

Chapter 609 Harvest Fruits
These sweet potatoes will be carefully selected when they return home. If they have worm eyes, they will be picked out. Those without worm eyes can be placed directly in a small cellar dug in the kitchen and buried with soil.

It is said to be a cellar, but it is actually a bit like the pit in Pauline's room, except that this one will not put things like a tank, but put the sweet potatoes directly, and then cover it with soil, so that It can better preserve the sweet potatoes at home, and it is no problem to store them for several months.

The family cellar said to be dug, but it has not been dug. After procrastinating again and again, finally, the cellar is needed, but there is no one, so I can only get a simplified version.

I didn't dig it last year or before, let alone this year. With the blessing of the big sun hanging in the sky, the ground couldn't be digged at all, so I just dug a hole indoors and used it to put sweet potatoes, just let it go, don't pick it Land, you don't have to choose either.

Sweet potatoes are still very good. If they are stored in the cellar, it is not a problem to keep them for half a year. Even if they are placed at room temperature, as long as the place is not humid and kept dry, they can be stored for one to two months. After doing some processing, it is estimated that four or five months should not be a problem.

Besides, if you really can't put it, then cut it directly, and dry it in the sun. As long as it is placed in a large vat, it will not be a problem to store the dried sweet potato for a year or two. In this weather, it can be thoroughly dried in a day.

Wang Jiandang didn't pick the peanuts directly in the ground, but he dug out some of the peanuts and asked Paulin to take them home. There were many people outside, and if there were too many peanuts picked, it would be hard for someone to be jealous.

That's right, the production of peanuts seems to be comparable to that of sweet potatoes in the other land. Although it may be less, it is not much less.

The main reason is that peanuts and sweet potatoes are not the same thing. Compared with sweet potatoes, peanuts do not know how popular they are. Peanuts can extract oil, can be used as vegetables, are nutritious, easy to store, and are full of advantages. A basket of sweet potatoes and 2/3 Carrying a basket of peanuts, choosing one of the two, which one to choose, is really a very tangled question. From this, a lot of things have been explained.

His family's peanuts were planted early. For the first three months, there was no shortage of water. By this time, although the peanut vines had withered and yellowed, they were almost reaching his knees. From the growth of the vines It can be seen that there should be a lot of peanuts at the bottom.

Sure enough, as soon as they were dug out, the peanuts under the ground came one after another, and it was just a word, and it was fruitful.

When I planted the seeds before, thinking that the age would be bad, I only planted three peanuts. After germination, if there were any that did not grow, the seeds were refilled. Therefore, at a glance, the peanuts are still very good. Dense, absolutely not missing a piece.

Although only three peanuts have been planted, there are still many vines that grow after the peanuts are branched. A month ago, the peanuts looked lush and leafy, and they were well taken care of.

Wang Jiandang guessed that there might be about half a basket of peanuts, about [-] to [-] kilograms. The exact amount will only be known after drying and weighing.

When digging peanuts, Wang Jiandang is the same as digging sweet potatoes. He digs inch by inch. Any large pieces of soil cannot be let go, and they are all smashed. Peanut fields need more attention than sweet potato fields, because peanuts are smaller. , and easier to hide.

After returning home in the evening, the family sat in the yard picking peanuts. It might have been fifteen or two days. The moon was very round and bright. Under the moonlight, we could see the peanuts more clearly, let alone There was a fire beside it.

The fire has two main functions, one is lighting, and the other is repelling mosquitoes. Although the effect is not better than smoke, it is better than nothing.

Now the mosquitoes in the mountains are really numerous and poisonous, especially in the woods. In the daytime, Pauline is a little afraid to enter the woods. Once inside, it is easy to disturb the piles of insects, and then, besieged, and then Then, he walked out of the woods wearing a mosquito bag.

No matter who goes, this is the result. No matter how tightly packed they are before entering the woods, those nasty bugs can find the gaps, take advantage of them, and then move their mouths to suck blood.

"Let's dig peanuts tomorrow morning, and strive to dig back all the remaining peanuts tomorrow."

"Also, we planted the right thing this time. As long as we planted peanuts this year, we didn't slack off with watering, and the peanuts came out pretty well. It seems that this year's weather is good for peanuts!" Wang Jiandang picked up a handful in his hand. Peanut, said happily.

He went to find people and found out that this year's peanut farmers' harvests are all good, sweet potatoes are also good, just beans and corn, tsk tsk
"Yeah, this year we are planting the right crops, and the peanut harvest is not bad."

"Did you see the two seed bean fields next to Wang Cheng's house? Let's not talk about the shriveled beans in his house. The point is that there are still worms. It looks really sad." happy.

One is that Le's own plant is right, and the harvest is very good, and the other is that the neighbor next to Le's harvest is not very good. Although she has no other malice, she hopes that her life will be better than that of the neighbor next door, that's for sure.

No, when something happened to Wang Cheng's family, she sighed, but she was still very happy to watch a good show. Most of the people in this world are like this.

"Yeah, that cabbage caterpillar is a bit noisy. Except for the bean field, the corn field is the most hilarious."

Their piece of land is not bad, except for Wang Cheng's two plots where beans are planted, about one and a half of the land, there is only one other family that grows corn for two parts of the land, and the others are all sweet potatoes. Even if the bean and corn fields are not doing well, the impact is not that big.

"Oh, yes, I remember that the old house seems to have grown a lot of beans and corn." Su Hongying said this, and suddenly thought of the scene she saw when she passed the old house before.

The tall one is corn, which grows lush and lush, and it took a lot of effort, and the same goes for beans.

Think about it, the old lady has always been a strict, and she is also a good at planting crops. Besides, there is an old man who is even more powerful in planting crops.

"Well, they planted half the soybeans, peanuts, and corn, and the rest was sweet potatoes."

"Don't worry, the things that the old lady takes care of are growing well. The corn buns that grow on the corn stalks are much bigger than those of other houses, and the pods are bulging, and the beans are almost the same."

"Maybe other families don't get much, but they must be quite a lot. Even if it's not as good as the peanut harvest, it's not much worse."

For the old lady at home, Wang Jiandang has always been very confident, because in this aspect, it is really the strength of the old man and the old lady.

He is willing to work hard, and he knows how to be flexible. He is not old and confused, and he knows many things. He will not make a mess of his own land like some people.

Although there are worms in the ground, it's a bit annoying, but you really have to be patient, and there are ways to deal with them. After all, the worms are not like last year.
