Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Xiao Yichen felt Shen Jia watching him, and quietly straightened his back straighter. His heart was pounding, and he took a few deep breaths to steady himself.

His speed was faster than before, and the only sound of 'chop chop chop' was heard in Nuo Da's kitchen. Two quarters of an hour later, he had chopped a pot of chili peppers.

Shen Jia mixed the chili, garlic, salt, and a little wine in proportion, mixed them well, and put them into a sealed jar.

After Xiao Yichen filled the jar with Shen Jia, he placed the jar of chili sauce in another place, saying that it was the chili sauce he made himself and could not be put together with other chili sauces.

Shen Jia smiled and said nothing.

After Shen Jia taught the two cooks how to make chili sauce, he became the shopkeeper and left everything to them.

Then he went to the hillside to have a look. Twenty servants plowed the pepper field in just one afternoon. Shen Jia planned to cultivate sweet potato seedlings first and then plant peanuts and pumpkins.

Early the next morning, Liang Ronggui and two servants picked up three loads of fertilizer mixed with plant ash and chicken manure and waited in the field.

"Uncle Liang, spread the fertilizer into the ridges."

Shen Jia picked up the sweet potatoes and explained to Shen Zhuoyun and Xiao Yichen: "When raising sweet potato seedlings, you must first sprinkle fertilizer underneath, which can promote the rapid growth of the vines. Then place the sweet potatoes. Each interval should not be too large or too small. The most important thing is The placement of sweet potatoes is very critical."

"If it is not placed well, it will directly lead to the problem of sprouting." Shen Jia placed the sweet potatoes at an angle of about fifty degrees: "Placing them this way can not only ensure the maximum sprouting area of ​​the sweet potatoes, but also ensure the number of sweet potatoes placed in the sweet potato pit. .”

"Then comes the soil covering, not too much or too little, and finally watering."

"This is the first planting, so we use sweet potato roots to raise seedlings. The second time, we can use sweet potato vines to raise seedlings. However, if we plant in a snowy place in the north, we can save the sweet potato roots or sweet potato vine knot holes and wait until the weather gets warmer. Then plant seedlings when the time comes.”

"Miss Shen, when are sweet potatoes usually planted in the north?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"The weather in the north is cold, so you can only plant one season a year, usually starting in May. In the south, you can plant twice a year, and spring potatoes can be planted in the first month. The growth period of spring sweet potatoes is generally about five months, and the growth period of autumn sweet potatoes is Sweet potatoes are shorter and can usually be harvested in more than three months.”

Xiao Yichen's eyes were deep: "In this way, next year we can let Uncle Shen go to the village on the outskirts of Beijing to plant sweet potatoes and corn."

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "You are thinking about next year so quickly. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to plant it?"

Xiao Yichen's dark eyes, as deep as the obsidian sun, looked at Shen Jia quietly: "I trust you."

Shen Jia smiled slowly, her smile as bright as the spring sunshine, "For your trust, I must grow sweet potatoes."

Xiao Yichen's lips curled up slightly: "We'll see." Then he asked, "Will sweet potatoes have worms like corn?"

"No, there are relatively few insect pests in sweet potatoes. However, in our Lingnan coastal area, when the sweet potatoes are about to be harvested, special attention should be paid to a pest called 'weevil'. This pest generally spreads in the fields and harms the sweet potatoes. Quite special..."

Xiao Yichen wrote down everything Shen Jia said and wrote it down in a booklet when he returned.

Several people then walked around in the cornfield.

Some time ago, there were worms in corn, and Shen Jia was helpless. She didn't know how to make pesticides! Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Zhuoyun, Gu Shi, Shen Hao and others were so anxious that they soaked in the ground catching bugs almost every day.

Even so, the bugs were still not completely eliminated. Shen Jia thought of a different method. First, he 'spread poison bait' by adding some slightly poisonous medicinal materials and sugar water, and mixed them evenly with the fried soybean powder, and used it every evening and early morning. Spread along the ridges and do this several times before the pests are completely eliminated. Later, Shen Jia made a lot of insect repellent powder and sprinkled it around the ridges. From then on, no insects were seen again.

The corn is growing very well now and has already grown on the cob. It will be ready to be harvested in about twenty days.

The next few people went to plant pumpkins in the vegetable patch of the old house.

The four pumpkins Xiao Yichen brought had a lot of pumpkin seeds. Shen Zhuoyun gave five seeds to Yang Dazhuang's family and Li Damei's family, two to other families in the village, and some to the people in Huizhuang and Liangzhuang.

When Shen Zhuoyun gave them the seeds, he told them to come to the Shen family to see him at any time if they had any questions.

The Shen family has planted more than thirty seeds. If the pumpkins grow well, they will have many pumpkins.

The land has been deeply plowed, and Liang Ronggui has spread farmyard manure on it. Shen Jia and the others only need to sow the seeds directly.

Just put three seeds into each hole and cover them with soil.

"Jia'er, are you finished planting now?" Shen Zhuoyun asked with a bit of surprise.

"Growing pumpkins is relatively simple. Once the melons grow and have forked vines, you need to cut them off to increase the yield of pumpkins."

The next step is to plant peanuts.

The ground has been tidied and the fertilizer mix has been mixed.

The planting method of peanuts is similar to that of corn, but the distance between the two holes only needs half a foot. Just put two peanut seeds in the holes, cover them with mixed fertilizer, and then cover them with soil.

It only took Shen Jia and the others one day to finish planting the peanuts.

"Cuckoo"

This is the homing pigeon that Shen Jia gave to Ling Yunsu.

They arrived in the capital on the tenth day of May. Tan Wenqing immediately took Qing Ning, Qing Fang, Qingtang, Lan Yang, Lan Feng, and Lan Wen to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to plant peppers, tomatoes, and sunflowers.

As Shen Jia expected, Zhuangzi's people were extremely uncooperative. They even ridiculed Tan Wenqing and the others for not being from the new owner, and almost started a fight. After Ling Yunsu led his people to suppress it, someone still poked and poked in the back. , almost harmed the pepper seedlings.

Ling Yunsu immediately caught them and locked them up, and sent a letter to Shen Jia to explain the situation. Shen Jia showed the letter to Shen Zhuoyun, and Shen Zhuoyun immediately asked Xiaobai to bring those people's contracts to Tan Wenqing, and Tan Wenqing handed those people over to Tan Wenqing. After people sold, Zhuangzi calmed down.

After Zhuangzi got on the right track, Tan Wenqing and Liang Zhixia began to simply renovate the grain shop. The grain shop was located in the bustling section of the north of the city. The shop was not big but the backyard was quite large. They sold grain produced in Zhuangzi. Liang Zhixia was the shopkeeper, and the business was good.

The residences in the capital are divided into three, six or nine grades. Except for the imperial city, those in the east of the city are nobles and ministers of the court, those in the south are ordinary officials, those in the north are wealthy businessmen, and those in the west are common people. .

Of course, there are people doing business everywhere.

The medical clinic is in the south of the city. After arriving in the capital, Li Yumin began to renovate the shop and hired two more doctors. Liang Sen was young and smart. After asking Liang Ronggui and his wife Liang Zhixia, they asked him to work as a medicine boy in the medical clinic. The museum opened in early June.
