[Crossing the Farm] The witch doctor rises up

The planting seasons of potatoes are different, and the matters needing attention are also different.

Wu Di remembered that outside the vegetable market, there were many people who carried burdens from the countryside and set up roadside stalls to sell vegetables.Although the appearance is not as good as those in the vegetable market or supermarket, those who like the original ecology and pollution-free green vegetables prefer to buy from these vegetable farmers.

Wu Di likes to buy potatoes from a vegetable farmer who is about 50 years old.The potatoes he sells are very refreshing whether they are fried or cold, but they will be very powdery when stewed or fried.

Because he has been buying potatoes from him, Wu Di has gradually become acquainted with that potato uncle.And when chatting with the uncle who sells potatoes, the uncle babbled about a lot of precautions-basically from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, even if Wu Di has never planted potatoes before, he is quite confident. During this period of time, some of the things he has done, many of them have only theory but no practical experience, and they are still successful now.

In order to make potatoes grow more, generally speaking, it is necessary to cut a potato into many pieces to germinate - of course, this must ensure that each seed of those potato pieces has at least one bud eye.Where do potato sprouts come from without sprout eyes?

Because there are not many potatoes in Wu Di's collection that can survive the winter safely, so he cut the potato pieces with a saber "歘歘歘" by himself.

"Brother Wu Di! The grass ashes are all brought over!" The monkey ran over with a back basket padded with big leaves, "Look, Bai and I lit the fire ourselves, and carried it back after it was burnt, and it was still hot !" Wu Di reached out and grabbed a handful while talking, "Ah, it's hot, hot, hot..."

"Be careful, the plant ashes that have just been burned are still very hot, let's spread them out and let them cool." Such hot plant ash, not to mention "making potatoes", will also "heat to death" the cells of the potatoes.

As for why the potatoes should be mixed with plant ash after being cut into pieces, to be honest, Wu Di doesn't quite know what the reason is.But since the uncle who bought vegetables said that the ancestors in their village have done this for generations, there must be a reason for it.

Watching Wu Di use a shovel to evenly pour the cooled plant ashes on the potato pieces one by one, the monkey wondered: "Brother Wu Di, can this really turn into a lot of potatoes? Will it not rot? "

He remembered that, generally speaking, ordinary plants, such as taro, will be broken if they are cut into pieces and covered with ash...Could it be that potatoes are different, so that's why Wu Di Why does Big Brother value potatoes so much?

"Don't worry." Wu Di put the mixed potato seeds one by one on the wooden rack to dry - as long as the seeds are dry, you can start to germinate with sand.There are not many other things in this place by the sea, but there is a lot of sand!

At that time, one layer of sand and one layer of seed blocks will be covered with three layers and then covered with straw curtains—one is for sun protection, and the other is for gathering water vapor to maintain humidity—sprinkle water twice, and you can quietly wait for the potatoes to germinate .

The sprouted potatoes can be taken out for sowing, and each potato seed block is planted at intervals of [-] to [-] centimeters. When it is harvest time, you can harvest a lot of round potatoes.

While waiting for the potatoes to dry, Wu Di asked the monkey to sprinkle water in the six-centimeter-deep ditch that Gong dug, and then scattered the prepared sorghum seeds—because sorghum seeds are very small One, and the seeds can’t be stacked too thickly, so although there are not many sorghum seeds, they still spread a lot of land——Bai and Lihua evenly piled up the trenched soil on both sides behind Wu Di Cover the seeds.

When Wu Di finished planting the seeds, I felt like I couldn’t straighten my waist—I couldn’t help it, I kept bending over and straightening up, bending over and straightening up, going back and forth no less than a hundred times, it was too painful up.Alas, he knows how hard it is for those who are engaged in planting... However, at that time, it seemed that all planting was modernized and technological, and it was not as primitive as him.

If the sorghum seeds are planted in this way, just wait for the seedlings to emerge like potato seeds. If the sorghum seedlings are too dense, the excess can be transplanted to the side.

It’s just that I don’t know if sorghum seeds and potato seeds can germinate in this climate by the sea—ah, I wish I had read more books on this topic.Now I can only pray to those gods to bless them.

"Has Gong not come back yet?" Wu Di looked at the loosely turned land in front of his house with satisfaction, and turned to ask the monkey.

"Brother Gong went to see the house at the west end of the tribe." At some point, the monkey's address to Gong changed from the straightforward "Gong" to "Brother Gong".

Although everyone built a house before winter last year, and there was a warm kang bed in the house, but because everyone is not very good at using this thing, there will be some problems to some extent.Although it can't be seen in winter, as the weather gets warmer, the kang bed gradually loses its role in providing warmth in winter, and these problems gradually appear.

Several people who were burned because of the wrong method of burning the kang have come to Wu Di. After Gong served as the temporary manager of the tribe, he wanted to take advantage of the warmer weather to go door-to-door to check, so as not to cause accidents to everyone—of course , And also reduce the occurrence of those accidents, so that Wu Di can relax.

"That's not right, didn't Brother Gong and Hong go to see what's going on outside today?" Ever since Hui Hui left the tribe with the patriarch to attend the Hongmen Banquet of the Xiong tribe, Bai lived with Lihua, and Lihua and Xiaoqing's The relationship is relatively good, so naturally Bai knows about Xiaoqing's man Hong.

"'Outside movement'? What is that?" Wu Di frowned.

"You don't know?" Lihua was a little surprised, "But we don't really know... But I thought you men knew." Because in order to protect women, men sometimes hide things from women. Things were a little dissatisfying, but I got used to it.But, she didn't expect that Wu Di didn't even know—cough cough, what, isn't he Gong's man... Ha, ha ha ha... Huh, it seems that she accidentally said the wrong thing?Well, let's take the opportunity to sneak away!

"Hehe, what, I should go back to cook, Bai, come and help me." Seeing that Wu Di's expression was not right, Li Hua quickly lifted Bai and left - since the beginning of spring, the tribe has started the rhythm of big pot meals again.Ewha is one of the "chefs".

However, what is different from before is that because the tribe still follows the two meals a day, the big pot meal becomes one meal, and it is only set at night.After all, the men were busy hunting during the first meal, and the women also had things to do, so they couldn't take care of them comprehensively.Anyway, there is still no shortage of food for their tribe, and this method seems more reasonable, so everyone accepted this change.

Moreover, they found that after doing this, they can spend more time connecting the relationship between men and women-for example, a woman cooks some love meals for the man she likes, and the couple have a sweet meal or something.As a result, people who have tasted the sweetness become more and more accustomed to this method.

Wu Di looked at the backs of Lihua and Bai who were running away quickly, turned his head to look at the monkey, and said indifferently under the increasingly nervous eyes of the monkey: "Today, let's make an ointment from the herbs we picked a while ago to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis... ..." Just as the monkey breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Di continued to add calmly, "Monkey, I think you have the talent to be better than the blue, so let's leave the main work of this matter to you." With a paralyzed face, Wu Di said something with rippling wavy lines, "I like you~"

Monkey: 〒▽〒Brother Wu Di, you "sent" me a big pear...

******

When Gong came back, Wu Di had already prepared the meal.

Pan-fried yellow croaker, cold shepherd's purse, and twice-cooked pork, made Gong's nose twitch, and his ears twitched because of the owner's excitement: "It smells so good! Wu Di, have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten, and these are all yours." Wu Di ate the big pot of rice in the tribe, because Gong has been getting more and more busy recently-at the beginning, Gong was very at a loss for the tasks assigned to him by Ji. At that time, Wu Di taught him the experience of management courses he had learned in the company.It has to be said that Gong's comprehension ability is very strong. After several attempts and good results, he gradually let go of his temper and became more and more comfortable in doing things.However, this also led to more and more things that he needs to do, so he will miss the time for the big pot meal in the tribe.Wu Di couldn't bear to let him eat cold food, and he always took out one person's portion from the ingredients in the big pot of the day to make a small stove for Gong.

Of course, because of this reason, the women in charge of cooking have learned a lot of dishes.Although they can only be used the next day, they have already satisfied the men of the Youhe Tribe.

Closer to home, Gong heard Wu Di's words, looked at the dishes on the table that were kept warm in bowls, and was so moved that he kissed Wu Di next to him: "Thank you, Wu Di, I love you the most."

Wu Di tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from curling up, cleared his throat and pretended to be calm: "Well, I love you the most too... Hurry up and eat, or you'll be cold." A meaty bone that was being licked was pulled out and put into Tuanzi's bowl: "Yuanzi, you can't eat any more, if you eat any more, you will really turn into a dumpling!"

It is said that giant pandas like to eat meat and gnaw bones, which really subverts his cognition!And Yuanzai, your giant panda eats more than Tuanzai's bear, what's the matter?

'I won't become a Tuanzi!Master, your eyesight is bad!Tuanzai and I are clearly two species, okay? ’ This is Yuan Zai’s moaning and moaning protest to Wu Di who is “snatching food”.

"Hehe, Wu Di, you have a good vision. Yuanzi is my man, so he naturally wants to get closer to me~" This is the same misunderstood Tuanzai who is very satisfied with Wu Di's words.

Wu Di watched Gong stuff the twice-cooked pork into his mouth, looked at the pile of green garlic sprouts left in the bowl containing the twice-cooked pork, pursed his lips, and took out a pair of chopsticks to pick it up: "Don't be picky eaters, open your mouth."

Just kidding, I don't know that vegetables are rich in vitamins. He tried to reduce the content of vegetables in the small stove as much as possible. How can Gong still be picky eaters?Does it have to be like a monkey that eats too much meat and doesn't get "ummm" and is constipated?

Looking at the garlic sprouts that came close to his mouth, Gong opened his mouth to swallow it—in fact, although he doesn't like vegetables very much, Wu Di always tries his best to make the vegetables delicious in order to let himself eat more.Just like this dish.In fact, the garlic sprouts mixed with pork belly oil are not bad, but if Wu Di has the opportunity to feed himself, why does he do it himself?Hey~

So, the once soft and cute (?) Xiaoshou will also grow into a black belly with the passage of time.

"You can't be picky eaters in the future, you know?"

"Uh-huh."

"After eating, take a hot bath and rest, you know?"

"Uh-huh."

"It must be very tiring during this time, so pay attention to your body."

"Uh-huh."

"You should also pay attention to new dangerous things, don't get hurt, you know?"

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh?"

"...Uh, this... how do you know?"
