Chapter 38 Planting vegetables at the beginning of spring (please collect and recommend)
When the last few people left, they spent 200 yuan to buy some fine-scaled fish from Zhang An and take them away.
Because after eating this fish at noon, they found that they no longer felt anything like what they had eaten before.
It was getting dark, so a few people did not stay to eat, but drove to the town to catch today’s catch.
After dinner, Zhang An cleaned up the cement and sand that fell when building the walls of the small house.
Tomorrow, we have to powder the stone wall with fine sand and cement, and then complete the small door. Then Xiaohu and the others can move in.
In the evening, Zhang An walked into the cherry forest and took a look. Zhang An went to the town early this morning to buy cement. When he came back, the sun was shining, so he didn’t water them. water.
Now that the weather has cooled down, Zhang An brought a watering can from home and watered them one by one.
Half a month has passed, and these saplings have grown significantly taller, and many buds have sprouted.
Under the tree roots, maybe because of the spring water, the grass on the ground is also growing well.
It's okay, grow up quickly, and when they grow up, cut them off and feed them to pigs, Zhang An thought.
The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, under Zhang An's care, are bursting with vitality. Everything in the Zhang family's courtyard is developing in a beautiful direction.
Many people have said that they will feel very comfortable if they sit in the yard of Zhang An's house.
In the early morning of the morning, it started to drizzle.
It has begun to enter the second month of the lunar calendar, and there will be more and more rain in the future.
The pepper and eggplant seeds that were sown in the garden have already grown to a height of two or three inches.
While it is relatively humid today, my family will transplant these seedlings first.
The land for growing peppers had already been plowed and ridden, so Zhang An started making the nest with a hoe.
Zhang Jianguo used a manure dustpan to soak the farmyard manure in the pens and put some in each pit.
Then I put the hot pepper and eggplant vines I pulled out into the pit.
Although the manure made by these animals is dirty, it is very nutritious and the plants grown in this way will grow very fast.
But don’t spread too much, otherwise the seedlings will easily burn.
The survival rate of pepper seeds this year is too high. There are still a lot of seedlings left after planting them in two fields. After the eggplant seedlings were finally transplanted, there was no more planting.
You can ask your second aunt and third aunt if you want the remaining rice seedlings at home.
There are not enough rice seedlings raised in the village, and there are too many people who often go to other people’s homes to ask for rice seedlings.
Some people may spread less, and some may spread more. Anyway, these are just human nature.
The second aunt and the third aunt heard what Zhang An's mother said, and they both took a look.
The rice seedlings are growing very well. They are not only fresh, but also have strong trunks. There is enough left to plant two acres of land, so that I don’t have to sow any more seeds at home.
In the end, the two families divided the remaining spicy rice and eggplant rice.
In the town, there are people who bring the spicy rice grown at home to sell at the market during the big market.
However, you only dare to take out these kinds of peppers if they are of good quality at home. Otherwise, if someone else buys them and grows them poorly, they will scold you behind your back.
Sometimes the garden is too small because there is not enough food to grow.
But it doesn’t work even if the garden is big. I have planted a lot of vegetables but there is still an empty space.
After cutting off the cabbage greens that had been mossed before, there is still an empty piece.
Wang Fang is the kind of person who can be idle but restless. After Zhang An helped plow the ground, she found the corn seeds saved last year and started planting them.
This corn is not the corn grown in the field.
It is the glutinous rice grown at home for eating. Many years ago, everyone grew a lot of this stuff.
Because this is a local variety and tastes delicious, people who have not had enough to eat often use this to make corn rice. In the past two years, everyone's living standards have improved, and there is not so much to plant.
And now the seed stations sell scientific hybrid corn and hybrid rice seeds.
The yield is indeed much higher than that of traditional local varieties, but they are not delicious and are only suitable for feeding livestock and making feed.
Moreover, they cannot save seeds, and you have to buy new ones every year.
It seems that it is illegal for future generations to keep seeds privately. Unless you plant them yourself, you will eat them yourself and cannot sell them for money.
But now every family will keep some, because the hybrid corn grown in the field, even when it is still tender, tastes very bad, has a bad taste, and has too many corn husks.
Plant it now and you can eat it after June.
At that time, you could eat it fried or boiled.
Zhang An’s favorite thing is to beat the young corn into pulp and make corn cakes. It tastes delicious and filling. It is rare to see anyone making it in future generations.
At the end of the planting, there was not much land left, so Wang Fang called Zhang An home. With that little land, the three of them stood in the field, unable to turn around.
Spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue are special effects of the seasons. Zhang An didn't feel it yet when he was busy in the fields.
After sitting by the stove for a while, I started to feel sleepy.
After a while, I lay on the stove and began to dream.
I don’t know how long it took, but he felt something licking his hand, and it felt wet.
Zhang An woke up and found that Xiaohu was licking him.
This little guy's hair was covered with water and some grass leaves. He was holding a gray rabbit on the ground with his two front paws.
"You guys have gone into the mountains again, haven't you? It's raining and you're not staying at home. Look at your two brothers. They are dozing in the nest."
< br>Zhang An mentioned the rabbit and found that it was not dead, but was trembling all over.
That’s right, Xiaohu, basically everything he catches is alive, unlike the other two, who bite everything they catch to death.
I found some tattered clothes and wiped the water off Xiaohu’s body.
It even shook its hair, and water droplets from its body splashed all over Zhang An.
Zhang An took a look and realized that this guy did it on purpose. He kept his mouth wide open after shaking.
It provoked Zhang An to give it two slaps.
"Mom, Xiaohu went to the mountain and caught a rabbit."
Zhang An also carried it out to show it to Wang Fang and Wang Fang. Both of them were very happy and kept saying that Xiaohu was still promising. .
“From the Chinese New Year to now, if you eat fish and meat every day, you won’t kill the rabbit if it’s still alive. Lock it up first and wait until you want to eat it.”
Eat How can meat be greasy? In this day and age, Wang Fang actually still wants to save some money, so it makes sense to eat better during the New Year.
But now that the New Year is over, the family still eats meat every day, and her heart is not used to it, and now she doesn’t have to do any work.
It can only be said that Zhang An’s mother’s heart has not yet adapted to the rhythm of getting better at home.
But the older generation is like this. It is better to have good food and drink than to have some stock in hand for peace of mind.
These take some time to get used to.
It just so happened that Zhang An wanted to raise some rabbits for his family. The space in the outer circle was so big that it was still a bit empty now that only the ducks lived in it.
And although the rabbits in the space have been restricted by Zhang An, there are still many.
So you still have to raise the rabbits. Then you will have a reason to sell the rabbits.
"Okay, I will listen to my mother, and when the time comes, let the little tigers go up the mountain for a walk and see if they can catch a few more. Let's raise rabbits."
