Chapter 114 Extensive planting (1)
Li Xin thought about it seriously. Anyway, there were still a lot of sweet potatoes and vines at home, so it would be useless to give some away.
Because many people have both paddy fields and dry land. In this season, rice is usually grown. Rice can be grown in paddy fields, but rice cannot be grown in dry land. In fact, there are not many things that can be grown in dry land, and the yield is also low.
They are not high. Some people want to grow sweet potatoes only on dry land. They still grow rice in paddy fields, which will not affect the rice yield.
Since it won't affect food production, there's nothing wrong with letting everyone grow sweet potatoes.
Since people from several villages came, Li Xin asked people to invite the village chiefs of those villages.
She asked several village chiefs to roughly count the families who wanted to plant, and the area they wanted to plant. However, she also made it clear to the village chiefs that she could only give as many sweet potato vines as she wanted to give to the village.
If there are some other villages that have so much planting area, then there really won’t be enough sweet potatoes and vines.
However, she also said that those sweet potatoes and vines were delivered without any charge. The most they needed was some money for pulling the cart. They were all from the neighbors. After all, they all belonged to the same town. Even if the sweet potatoes were given to everyone first
After experimenting with planting, she found it difficult to accept money from others.
If this can change everyone's life, then she will be really happy.
Two days later, the Zhang family also announced that they would start planting sweet potatoes, so Li Xin asked the Zhang family to go to the vegetable garden behind to cut them. This side is closer, so you can cut as many as you can in one day. Sweet potato vines
Compare the prices. Cut off the ones here first! If the ones here are not enough for the Zhang family, ask Zhu Yong to go to Zhuangzi to bring some more.
When Li Xin had nothing to do, he just walked around the village. The wheat in the fields had been harvested, and many people's fields had been cleared, waiting for planting in the next season. Speaking of which, what do you want this year?
Many families grow sweet potatoes, and a lot of the seedlings they raise are wasted.
The seedlings that need to be planted have been planted, and the field has a slight green color.
After walking around for a while, Li Xin went to his watermelon field to take a look. There were not many watermelons left in the field, and the vines were a little withered and yellow. It seemed like they should harvest all the watermelons.
It’s time to free up the fields. There aren’t many watermelons left, so it’s a waste to keep occupying the fields.
She took a closer look and saw that most of the watermelons were already ripe. After all, it was already at this time. Everything that should be ripe should have already matured. There were also some that looked crooked and cracked, so there was no use keeping them.
After walking around for a while, she went back. In the next two days, she asked people to collect all the ripe watermelons.
Although it looked like there wasn't much left, it was only a few acres of land! I still harvested a lot of watermelons. Li Xin asked people to give some away everywhere. People in the village gave some away, and then shopkeeper Sun in the town also gave away some.
I sent a lot of them. The Zheng family in the county also sent some, and then I gave some to everyone in Zhuangzi.
Li Xin had some of the remaining watermelons put in the cellar. The watermelons were well preserved in the cellar and could still be kept for a long time. The remaining ones were enough for the family to eat until the weather got cold.
.
The watermelons have been harvested, and the next step is to tidy up the eight acres of land. Although there is a village in the house now, eight acres of land is nothing. But! After all, it is still eight acres of land! If you manage it well, you still need to have it.
A lot of the fields that produce a lot of crops are naturally abandoned. It would be good to clear out the fields and plant corn.
There were so few corn seeds last year that no one at home was willing to eat them! Now that I think about it, I really miss the taste of green corn! If you plant it earlier, you will be able to eat green corn in a short time.
Plant more varieties this year so that everyone in the family can eat well. It is not good if there are few people planting. If they are planted everywhere, then they can eat whatever they want.
It should be spread as soon as possible, so that everyone can plant something of everything. If you grow it at home, you can eat it outside, and you can eat it as you like. You don’t have to be like last year, thinking about saving seeds for everything, and leaving nothing behind.
Chi. Wenhao and the others always looked at her pitifully, but she was not soft-hearted either.
After all, there are not many seeds. If she eats them casually, where will she go to find seeds in the future?
After all the watermelon vines were pulled out, Li Xin asked people to clear the few acres of fields. Before her family's fields were cleared, the village chief also said that all the fields in the village that needed to be cleared had been cleared.
Later, it was necessary to seize the time to plant sweet potatoes. Li Xin went to shopkeeper Sun to borrow some carts, and went to Zhuangzi with Zhu Yong to transport sweet potato vines.
It would be too slow for Zhu Yong to transport it alone. As for planting! Naturally, the faster the better, otherwise it will always be delayed. With more people and strength, it is naturally best to transport it quickly.
When the sweet potatoes and vines were transported to Guihua Village, Li Xin had them delivered directly to the village chief's house. The village chief would naturally distribute them himself, so she didn't have to worry about them.
"Sister, will our village be able to grow a lot of sweet potatoes this year?" Yueting looked at the sweet potato vines transported by many taxis, and she was very happy. Last year, a lot of sweet potatoes were harvested, and there is no shortage of sweet potatoes at home this year.
Food for eating sweet potatoes. After a few children got used to eating them, they found them really delicious. After a while, the children started to make a fuss over eating sweet potatoes.
Since there are still sweet potatoes at home, Li Xin will not refuse to eat them for several children. Moreover, eating more sweet potatoes is actually good for the body.
"Yes! There are so many sweet potatoes and vines. This year, our village will definitely harvest a lot of sweet potatoes." Li Xin smiled and rubbed Yueting's head. This girl is very cute, no matter how you look at it, you can recruit people.
I like it! Now, their family has started to communicate with people in the village again. Li Xin has always been a generous person. If he has something at home, he will give some to people in the village.
Nowadays, there are more people who are good friends with their family, and the children can have a lot of company when they go out to play. Yueting was very happy when she lived in the village, and she went everywhere every day
When I go to play, I can always take a lot of children with me. Although she is young, she looks like a child.
Seeing Yueting playing happily every day, Li Xin is also very happy. As long as the children find it fun and happy, then everything is fine. Niuniu and Yuexiang also always like to play with Yueting.
Chu Wan, now that there are servants at home, Yuexiang no longer has to help with anything at home. Compared to before, she is more leisurely.
