 Chapter 41

  Basically everything to be planted this year has been planted, and now all that is left are sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. As the Qingming Festival has just passed and the hot weather in May has not yet arrived, the couple is ready to plant all the sweet potato vines, potatoes and corn they bought.

  However, Chen Hu said that the spring potato planting season was in January and February, which had already passed, so he asked them to save the potatoes for September and plant autumn potatoes so that they would mature in December.

  Sweet potato vines and corn are planted at this time.

  The agricultural knowledge of Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen basically comes from Chen Hu, an expert in crops. When they encounter something that is difficult to grow, Chen Hu will take them to the field to demonstrate it once, and they can understand it after explaining it twice if it is easy to grow. .

  Sweet potatoes are an easy crop to grow and easy to feed. Lin Zhen followed Chen Hu's instructions, carrying a lead bucket and shoveling half a bucket of plant ash into the ash bin.

 Ji Congzhe put about twenty sweet potato vines and corn seeds into the basin.

  The two of them then carried a hoe and a kettle and set off for Uncle Yang's land.

  When I passed by my farm, I stood there and observed the rice seedlings. In just a few days, the rice seedlings had grown a lot taller. It had rained a few days ago, and there was a shallow layer of water in the field. Many tadpoles shuttled among the dense seedlings. Among the bushes.

  Arriving at the field, Lin Zhen carried a hoe. There was still one-third of the land left, but even one-third of Uncle Yang's land was enough to grow sweet potatoes and corn.

  They had nothing else to do now, so they didn't need to rush. They spent the whole morning plowing the ground slowly with their hoes. After plowing, two ridges were formed. The ridge for planting sweet potatoes was next to the watermelon field. The corn ridges are at the outermost edge.

  It was already noon after digging up the soil ridges, and they still had to go back for lunch, so the seeds and tools were left in the ground and they could continue sowing after eating.

  Ever since he bought Wu's soy products during the Qingming Festival, Ji Congzhe has been obsessed with them. The main reason is that the soy products made by Wu's taste really good. When he got home, he went to the drawer on the second floor to get money, and then asked Lin Zhen to cook for himself. Then he took the bowl and went out.

  Tofu costs 50 cents per dollar, and fried tofu costs 50 cents per dollar. He bought both.

  When we got back to the house, we started frying the fried tofu. The golden-colored fried tofu was so crispy after being fried that it made your mouth "click, click, click".

  The white and tender tofu is refreshing when eaten raw. Now that the weather is hot, they just pour some soy sauce on it and sprinkle some green onions.

  After lunch, the young couple continued to go to the fields.

  The sowing was almost the same, with two pits in a row on the ridge. They buried the corn seeds first, then hoe some soil to cover them, and then sprinkled some water with a can.

  The process of planting sweet potatoes is relatively cumbersome. Sweet potatoes are potassium-loving crops, so Chen Hu asked them to bring plant ash. He said that a handful of ash from a sweet potato will produce a lot of knots.

  They didn't understand agriculture, so they did whatever Chen Hu said.

  Lin Zhen dug a hole in the soil ridge, and Ji Congzhe took a bucket, grabbed a handful of plant ash, and sprinkled some into each hole. .
