Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 756 Experimental Field (3)
The door was open, and it was quiet inside. When Qingli entered, she happened to meet a young woman in a dress with a slightly protruding belly who came out of it. She was still holding a bucket in her hand. Li entered the door, stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Is the little girl here?"

"You are the second cousin!"

Qingli asked Mai Ya to help him take the bucket, and the other party wiped off his sweat without refusing, explaining, "I have nothing to do all day, and I feel that people are rusty, it's not like grandma didn't come back in Beijing, I wondered Get water and clean the house."

"Second sister-in-law, you are pregnant, it's better not to do heavy work."

Qingli thinks that this second sister-in-law is not bad, at least she didn't develop a habit of eating and being lazy at home. In the countryside, even if she is pregnant, she is not so expensive, and everyone's daughter-in-law has to work. Besides, the uncle is not a wicked mother-in-law. The lobby sister-in-law Fu Caiyun is also a good one.

"It's okay, the baby is already sitting firmly, mother is still working, how can I be idle all the time, I don't like eating well."

The two talked a few words in the courtyard, Qingli felt that the auntie was lucky, and the daughter-in-law the family found was also worry-free, there was no such thing as a pick-me-up, no wonder Mo Zidong and Mo Zihua lived together after they got married , no separation.

"Let you rest, our family is not short of your labor, why don't you listen!"

Uncle Liu came out of the second courtyard in a hurry, and said to Qing Li, "You girl, you have been in Pingyang for so long, and your uncle has been talking about you all day, and now you are in a daze. I have to go out a few times in the middle of the night to look at the melon seedlings, you go to the backyard to see, those vegetables were plucked out by him cruelly, I felt sorry for them, so I transplanted them to your second uncle's yard, anyway, there is no one in his house."

Qingli covered her mouth, if the simple and honest uncle has any hobbies, the first is wine, and the second is farming, this is brainwashed by grandpa Mo Fulai, grandpa always keeps saying, farming is the root of the farming family, In the family, only the uncle is obedient, the second uncle likes to do business, his father studies, and the fourth uncle has become a general again.

"Little sister, you are here!"

Mo Qingju came out from the backyard, saw Qingli standing at the door, and hurriedly pulled her, "The seeds you gave my father are also growing too fast, yesterday it was still a little bit, today I saw that the leaves have doubled , scared my dad, haha."

"Okay, hurry up, it's almost noon, you have to take a break, your father is in a daze, so don't just go along."

The auntie waved her hand impatiently, and said to Qing Li, "You just came back, have you got all the things at home? Your Brother Huazi is going to the town to do some shopping in the afternoon. I'll tell him what's missing."

"Auntie, there is nothing missing at home, I'm going!"

Qingli waved her hand and dragged her cousin Mo Qingju to the backyard. Afraid she couldn't wait to see the effect of Erbo's melon field, remembering that Maiya still had a burden in his hand, she shouted as she ran, "Auntie, Maiya's There are high-quality longan, lotus seeds and red dates in the package, you can save them to make porridge!"

"This girl!"

The auntie stood there stomping her feet, looking helplessly at the backs of the two running away.

The backyard is already green, not the seedlings that my cousin Mo Qingju described. The leaves are the size of a palm, and a few melon seedlings have already bloomed yellow flowers. My uncle is carefully weeding the weeds inside. His skin is burnt red by the sun, and he is still completely green. Before he knew it, he had a cloth towel around his neck, which he took off from time to time to wipe off his sweat.

"Here, look at the melon seedlings. They grow a lot in one day. If this goes on, by August [-]th, our family will be able to eat melons."

Mo Qingju also had doubts in her heart. I heard that the ripening period of melons in Kyoto is from April to May and June of the lunar calendar. How come they grow late at home and can still grow. Could it be that they can't bear fruit in the later period?This is also possible.

"Girl Li, you are knowledgeable, come and show uncle, what does this book mean, uncle is so confused!"

Hearing his daughter's laughter, Mo Rujiang raised his head and saw his niece Qingli was there. He stood up excitedly. Because he squatted for too long, his legs were numb. When he stood up, he staggered and fell to the ground. Uncle hurriedly When he got up, he didn't pat the soil on his body, but looked at the melon seedlings under his body. Seeing that there was no damage, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingli stepped forward quickly, and took the agricultural book from the uncle's arms. There were a few pages on it dedicated to the introduction of melons. Then she remembered, it seemed that the uncle asked Xuanzi to buy it when he was in Kyoto. This book It was like a few taels of silver, and the usually frugal uncle didn't even blink his eyes.

"Girl Li, what does it mean that melons are not cold-resistant? Now that the melons are planted in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the weather here will be cold, so they won't be able to bear fruit?"

Uncle Mo Rujiang patted the soil on his body and continued to ask, "The above said that there are early-maturing varieties and late-maturing varieties. What kind of melon seeds did you give uncle? The late-maturing varieties will take seventy or eighty days. Isn't it going to be winter? At that time, the seedlings It's all frozen."

Qingli took out her handkerchief and wiped off her sweat. The variety she gave was of course early-maturing. The melons in the space matured in just over a day. How long did it take to go outside? She had never planted them before. The fields above are all planted with food.

"Uncle, it is definitely true that this is an early-maturing variety, but the book says that it is best to need sandy soil."

Qingli flipped through a few pages of agricultural books, compared the environment of the uncle's house, and rubbed her forehead, not many of them matched. Melon likes light, and the longer the light, the better. The uncle's house is at the foot of the mountain, and only when the sun is clear, the backyard bright.

According to the agricultural book, it takes at least 20 days for early-maturing melon varieties from pollination to fruit bearing. The seeds produced in space may be faster. Of course, there is also the possibility of no fruit or small fruit due to limited conditions.

"Father, I think it's better to just leave it like this, it doesn't look like a problem now."

Mo Qingju walked around and found that every leaf exudes vitality, there is not even a bug hole, and I don't have to worry about it. After all, it is too late in the first year of trial planting. In the stage of exploration, we can't rush for success.

"By the way, little sister, I still have fresh seeds."

Mo Qingju took Qingli back to her boudoir, and handed Qingli a small cloth bag, "Here, this is it, when I went out a few days ago, I saw a merchant selling seeds, only these, said to be from the south Xiaoguo came here, and the south of the Yangtze River also eats this dish, called golden loofah."

"Golden squash?"

Qingli took the seeds. She knew the golden loofah, and she liked to eat it in modern times. When it was ripe, it was cut in half and steamed in a pot. Layers of shreds appeared inside. As the name suggests, it can be fried or added Meat mix is ​​good.

"Well, the man said that it is not easy to plant in the north, and it is good to have one seedling. It is too precious."

Mo Qingju was afraid that her father, Mo Rujiang, would be squatting down to study the seeds, so she didn't take them out, thinking that her little sister has great powers anyway, and it's the same for her to experiment with planting.
