Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Xia Jiniang imitated the cooking method of taro and cooked a potato dish, and Zhang He naturally "pointed the finger" on the side.

The potatoes that come out of the pot are very good. A large plate of potato cubes is mixed with minced meat, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, and seasoned with some salt and pepper.Zhang He couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth. Except that there was no chili and peanut oil, this dish was similar to what Zhang He ate in modern times.

After two years, she can be regarded as eating potatoes!Zhang He was so excited that he didn't forget to pick up a piece and put it into Xia Jiniang's mouth: "Jiniang, your cooking skills are so good, the cooking is really delicious."

Xia Jiniang felt that the taste of potatoes was not as rich as taro, but its taste was softer than taro. After chewing it twice, it seemed to melt.Zhang He thought it could satisfy his hunger, and he was right, a few yuan will make him feel full.

Zhang He took two potatoes, and brought the potatoes Xia Jiniang had made to Li's house for Li Qingshi to taste.Li Qingshi thought it looked familiar, and immediately remembered that it was very similar to the potato he found last year, except that the potato he found was only the size of an egg, while Zhang He's hand was indeed as big as a fist.

Li Qingshi was surprised and said: "Erlang, you really planted it?!"

Zhang He nodded with a smile. In order to make the potatoes grow smoothly, in addition to fertilizers such as plant ash and fire manure, she also secretly used chemical fertilizers in the system.She spent so much effort in planting, if she can't plant it, she will have to wait until autumn and winter to plant it again.

"Why is it so much bigger than what I found?" Li Qingshi was very curious.

"I took good care of it, fertilized and watered it, and it naturally grew differently from the barren land on the western slope."

Li Qingshi thinks it makes sense, but it's impossible to successfully plant this unfamiliar crop once, and it takes a year or two to figure out how to plant it so that it can grow better.But Zhang He planted it after only half a year of groping, how could he not be surprised by this?

"This is Ji Niang's cooking, try it quickly," Zhang He said again.

Li Qingshi didn't doubt whether it was poisonous, after all Zhang He had already tried it.When he ate the import, he found that this strange taste made him feel a little regretful, regretting that he had never listened to what Zhang He said and paid attention to it.Even if he was the one who discovered it, only Zhang He was qualified to name it.

"There are seven or eight stalks in this one. We just picked these, and there are still more than a dozen stalks!" Zhang He laughed.

"Tomorrow, I'll follow you to take a look." Li Qingshi said, and asked Zhang He how he cultivated it.

Zhang He said: "I put the original seed at home, and it didn't take long to find that it sprouted. If it can take root and sprout, it means that it can be planted, right? So I separated these buds, buried them in the soil, and then fertilized , Watering. Just like growing other vegetables, you can take care of it as you want, and sure enough, you have found the way."

Li Qingshi's memory of Zhang He was still at the time when she asked how to save the eggplant seeds, but she never imagined that in the past half a year, she would have such a change.

Zhang He said with a smile: "It all depends on Ji Niang, if there is no Ji Niang, I am afraid I will not be able to farm the land!"

Aunt Li heard it from the side, and said with a smile: "Brother Donkey, look, I just said that Niang Ji is a good housekeeper!"

"Yes!" Zhang He smiled shyly. If it weren't for Aunt Li's secret help, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with Xia Jiniang, let alone fall in love with her.

The next day, Li Qingshi, Li Qinggui and other curious people followed Zhang He to the potato field to watch her dig out another stalk of potatoes.When the passing villagers saw them gathered together, they came over curiously, and saw a potato occupying a palm in their hands.

"What is this?" they asked.

"This is potatoes." Zhang He replied.

"Potatoes?" They are still very unfamiliar with this name. Some people who usually paid attention to Zhang He's fields noticed that the stems and leaves of the things she planted were very strange, so they paid attention to them; taro, but did not connect these two things for a while.

"It's the taro found at Xipo, brought back by Erlang and planted, and then grows again!" Li Qingshi said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't hold back their curiosity and stretched out their hands to figure it out.Someone muttered: "Was there such a big one back then?"

"It seems that it didn't grow so much at the beginning, and the color seems to be different."

Zhang He took the opportunity to explain: "The turquoise potatoes that were discovered at the beginning were rotten, and they can't be eaten, and accidents will happen if they are eaten. Only those that have no turquoise color like this and have not yet sprouted can be eaten."

Some timid people threw the potatoes in their hands and said in shock, "Poisonous?"

Zhang He glanced at him, picked up the potato thrown by him, and said lightly: "It will be fine if you touch it, and this potato has no green color and no sprouts. I just ate it yesterday, so it's fine." standing here?!"

That person was stared at by Li Qingshi dissatisfied, and then resentfully avoided their sight.Seeing this, the rest gathered around Zhang He and asked many questions. When they heard that one potato could produce dozens of new potatoes, their hearts were eager to move.

But then they remembered that they didn't know how to grow.Moreover, this novel crop has only just been cultivated, and it is not widely known, so it cannot be sold for money.

In addition, as long as it is left for a period of time, it will grow sprouts and cannot be eaten.It is not resistant to storage, so it loses its value, which makes everyone put away their thoughts on planting a little bit.

Zhang He had expected their reaction, after all, their attitude was exactly the same as that of Li Qingshi back then.As crops such as potatoes and taro cannot be used as two taxes, they are not easy to store, and many people are willing to grow them.And now it is a year of good weather, and everyone has not realized the benefits of these crops.

She didn't expect to spread them from the beginning, after all, in the eyes of everyone, now she only has more than 20 rhizomes and more than 200 potatoes, and she can barely plant an acre of land.

However, if you add the potato seeds in the system warehouse, you can grow about three acres.

The news that Zhang He cultivated the potatoes quickly spread throughout Qinghe Village, and those who had seen the potatoes vividly described what the potatoes looked like, while those who had never seen the potatoes went to Zhang He's field to watch her grow the potatoes. Received.

After they went back, they mentioned to their neighbors: "It's just such a ridge, but there are two big baskets of taro!" Compared with unfamiliar names like "potato", they are still used to calling it "taro". ".

"Can I eat for a long time?"

"Why don't we find a species too?" Someone was still a little moved.

But soon someone attacked: "Can you plant?"

"How Zhang Erlang planted it, we will plant it that way!"

"Have you seen how Zhang Erlang planted it? Do you know where the seeds are?"

The man was left speechless.This crop was cultivated by Zhang He. If he wanted to get potato seeds, Zhang He would tell him otherwise. He must spend some money, right?And he spent money but couldn't grow it, so it was a waste of money?After thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

As for Zhang He, knowing that potatoes would not be stored for too long at room temperature, she put some potatoes in the system warehouse, and kept the other part under Xia Jiniang's eyes. First, she wanted Xia Jiniang and the others to discover the conditions for potatoes to germinate by themselves. Secondly, she also needs to use part of the germinated potatoes to continue planting.

Potatoes don't like heat, and they can't tolerate high temperatures. It is difficult to grow well in this kind of month, but Zhang He must have this deduction process in order to be able to write a reasonable instruction to teach others how to grow potatoes.

It was a long road to promotion, but she finally took the first step.

She didn't put all her thoughts on cultivating potatoes, she also had to take care of eggplant and rice.It was her first time planting high-quality conventional rice, and she had to pay attention to it. After all, the rice produced would most likely be used as young crops lent to the government and promoted to other places in the future.

In addition to these two crops that can be used as income, Zhang He did not ignore the situation of sweet potatoes and watermelons.The amount of crops she grows is dizzying.Fortunately, she also knows how to plant in different regions according to the growing conditions of the crops. Otherwise, some crops are mutually exclusive, and neither will grow well.

The watermelon she grows is considered rare in the vast area, and even Xia Jiniang has never seen it before. Zhang He explained that it was "cold melon" when he planted it.It's just that she has never eaten watermelon since she grew up. After all, only the rich and powerful can afford watermelon.

Now the watermelon stems and leaves are very lush, and the small watermelon young fruits are hidden among them.The young fruit is larger than a mature potato, and it is green all over. There are a few white marks in the sepals, and its melon skin has a lot of hairs. At first glance, it seems that it is grown in the ground. winter melon.

Compared with eggplants, watermelons should be more important. After all, besides Zhang He, there are several eggplant growers, but watermelons are not to be mentioned in Qinghe Village. home grown.Rare is the most precious thing, and naturally some people will be greedy.

Zhang He didn't care about the loss of one or two watermelons, but when she found several watermelons that had grown slightly larger and lost their hair, she had to go to Zhang Baochang's house and ask him to take care of her when he organized the strong men to patrol the night. Take a look at the melon field.

How hungry is it to steal all the watermelons that haven't grown yet?If this continues, these watermelons of hers may not grow to maturity.

With this move, she has not lost a watermelon for a long time.

And this is something later, let's not mention it for the time being.

Let's say that after Zhang He's eggplant grew well, the guys from Sun Ning's main store and Zhang Jiayuanzi's main store came to pick it up as scheduled.But now Liu Dashan and the Song family took care of the eggplant fields, and they even picked the eggplants, so Zhang He didn't have to brave the rain or the scorching sun to pick the eggplants.

Liu Dashan and Mrs. Song have been working hard since they took care of the eight acres of eggplant fields for Zhang He. They were afraid that Zhang He would think that they were not working hard, so they would not be hired after this period of time.

Although Zhang He didn't like Liu Dashan's innocence and ignorance at the beginning, he hasn't done anything messy since then, and he took care of the eggplant fields very well, so there was no need for Zhang He to urge them when to fertilize and when to remove insects. weeding etc.

Zhang He consulted Xia Jiniang's opinion, and decided to continue to employ the couple, each of whom would be paid 25 yuan a year.Compared with today's sixty Wen a day, 25 pennies a year is much more, Liu Dashan and the Song family naturally agreed to it.

Zhang He signed a three-year contract with them, and the employment contract is usually only ten years at most.No matter what the status of the hired worker was, once the contract is signed, the man will be the servant and the woman will be the maidservant.

During the contract period, the status of servants and maidservants is the most humble, and the relationship between master and servant is much higher than the relationship between husband and wife.

Naturally, Zhang He only regarded them as hired workers, and only needed them to take care of the farmland, not to take care of their food and daily life.But outsiders don't think so, thinking that Zhang He has finally done something in line with her background.

The author has something to say: Haha, I didn’t guess Jiang Nu’s identity _(:з」∠)_

Thinking of the promotion of sweet potatoes, it was not promoted throughout the country from the Wanli period until the Qianlong period (it seems that this has been said before???)
