Chapter 80 Planting Sweet Potatoes

Suddenly, several pieces of meat were piled in Sumulan's bowl, and the sweet and sour pork soup almost covered the rice in the bowl.

Looking at the bright soup, Su Mulan felt warm in her heart.

“Okay, I’ll eat too.” Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled, then greeted the children to continue having lunch.

The sun was blazing in the sky, smoke was rising from each house one after another, and people in the vegetable fields in the fields were also hurriedly walking back.

Mrs. Sun came back from the vegetable field, carrying a bamboo basket filled with fresh beans, tomatoes and cucumbers.

The bean horns are matched with tomatoes, go back to make a steamer noodles, and with fresh garlic cloves, it is the most enjoyable food in this summer. If you add a few slices of pork belly in this dish, it will be more fragrant.

Sun became more and more excited as she thought about it, and couldn't help but smack her lips.

But when I thought that there would be no pork belly in the steamer noodles at noon, I couldn’t help but sigh.

At home, we haven’t eaten meat for more than half a month. If this situation continues, I guess we will be able to have a good meal of meat in the second half of the month.

Why…

Mr. Sun was a little bored. When she realized that she had unknowingly arrived at the door of Su Mulan's house, she stretched her neck and looked in. When she saw that there was no one in the yard, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

At this time, it was time to eat, but Su Mulan’s family was not eating in the yard...

Then it must be eating in the main room!

On a hot day, if they eat in the stuffy main room instead of enjoying the cool air outside, it can only mean that the whole family is hiding in the house and eating delicious food.

I’m not sure, I stewed meat at home for lunch.

Mrs. Sun's brows furrowed heavily, and she even sniffed her nose vigorously, as if she felt that she could vaguely smell the scent of meat.

It seems that Sumulan has really made a lot of money by selling dried sweet potatoes. Sun's brows gradually widened as she stared at the dried sweet potatoes in the yard that were a little wrinkled and wilted under the sun.

Hazardous, what’s the big deal?

Since the Sumulan family makes money from dried sweet potatoes, it’s not that difficult for her to dry sweet potatoes.

Thinking this way, Mrs. Sun walked away happily, carrying a heavy bamboo basket.

Su Mulan’s family had no idea what was happening outside, so they enjoyed a delicious lunch inside the house.

After dinner, I clean up the dishes, turn over the dried sweet potatoes, and wait until the weather gets a little cooler to work in the fields.

After two busy days, Sumulan is ready to start planting sweet potatoes.

From a practical point of view, the sweet potato seedlings are not growing well enough, but it is already late. If we don’t plant the sweet potato seedlings, we may not be able to harvest anything during the autumn harvest.

After weighing the situation, Sumulan decided to plant the sweet potato seedlings in the newly opened fields as early as possible.

Dig out the sweet potatoes with sweet potato seedlings in the yard, carefully pick the tender shoots that have grown a few leaves from the sweet potatoes, then dig a hole in the cleared land, put the sweet potato seedlings in, and cultivate them with soil. , this sweet potato seedling was planted.

It is not necessary to dig too deep a hole to plant sweet potato seedlings. A child can do it with a big shovel. Moreover, because it rained heavily and for a long time some time ago, there is no need to water it now, which saves a lot of work.

Because of this, Su Mulan led Bai Lixia's three children to plant sweet potato seedlings very quickly.

Regarding sweet potato planting, I planted it at home when I was a child, and I also asked the older generation. Our sweet potato seedlings are planted from the roots of the sweet potato seedlings, so they need to be dug out. In some places, the vines are cut and no digging is required. Many crops are planted differently in each place. My mother-in-law's family and my mother-in-law's family are across provinces. My mother's family needs to grow cotton seedlings in the early stage. It can be mixed with wheat in the early stage of planting. However, my mother-in-law's place directly grows cotton seeds and does not mix them with wheat. Kind of... China is a vast country with abundant resources and many customs. My mother-in-law’s family eats boiled eggs and dumplings on birthdays, but my mother-in-law’s family avoids eating dumplings and glutinous rice **** on birthdays, so please don’t use some local habits to question the habits of other places, or even Accusing and abusing the author... If you have any questions, you can ask and the author will answer. If there is a mistake, the author will check and correct it in time, but please do not attack personally. Thank you all.
