After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

Bai Wu didn't go to the field for several days, but when he went to the field today, his potato field was actually full of small purple flowers.

Many of the florets have withered and are beginning to form hard seed packs.

Holding the seed packets in her hand, Bai Wu checked them one by one, her face full of shock.

Seeing his expression, Nan Yao felt a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Bai Wu shook her head and murmured: "I actually forgot that potatoes can bear seeds!"

"How do you grow new seedlings without seedling?"

"I've never grown potatoes before. We used seed potatoes to grow potatoes in our previous life. We cut them open and planted them directly."

Bai Wu squatted on the ground holding the tender seeds that had just grown, and studied for a long time.

He desperately searched for knowledge about potatoes in his mind, and it took him a while to understand what was going on.

Generally, the potatoes are grown asexually by seed potatoes, because the potatoes he came into contact with in his previous life were all seed potatoes processed by the seed company!

The new potatoes grown from the seed potatoes will be similar to the mother generation, with high yield, less pests and diseases, and can maintain good traits.

That doesn't mean it can't be sown with seeds.

Just sowing with seeds, the potatoes will grow slowly, and the properties of the small potatoes grown are also unstable, which is not worthwhile for ordinary farmers.

But this life is completely different.

The potatoes they obtained were originally large potatoes dug directly from the wild. They have not been artificially bred, and it doesn't matter if they use seeds!

That is to say, they can combine two sowing methods, both use potato stems as seed potatoes, cut and sow, and directly scatter the seeds.

The inefficiencies and erratic traits that result from direct seeding of potatoes are not a problem for them at all.

At most they waste a little land and labor, but they have too much land and too much labor.

There are wastelands everywhere in the wild, they only need to choose a piece of land, reclaim it and sow seeds, no matter how much they harvest, they will not suffer a loss!

Bai Wu cherished the seeds and murmured: "When they grow, I must collect them carefully and then sow them."

Nan Yao raised his head, "If you harvest it, you will plant it?"

"You can try it. Harvest it in the sun and dry it, and store it for a few days before it can germinate. If it can germinate, it can be planted. If it can't germinate, it means that the temperature is wrong. Let's wait until next spring."

Bai Wu looked at a large piece of potato blossoms in front of him, feeling blissful in his heart, "Anyway, there are so many seeds, let's try whatever we want."

What does it mean to "plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn"?

This is!

It is impossible for them to lack seeds in the future!

Nan Yao: "Will it freeze to death in winter? The ground outside will freeze hard in many years."

"You reminded me, this is indeed a problem." Bai Wu thought for a while, "How about we plant potatoes near the hot spring? It's relatively warmer there, and the soil won't freeze in winter, right?"

"This method is the opposite, that is, stay away from the hot spring, so as not to die of heat."

"Yes! Potatoes like to be cool, so don't get too close, as long as the ground doesn't freeze in winter. We can go to clear the land in these two days, and the soil over there is more fertile."

The two discussed it, and then went on to do the work at hand.

They are going to make soil for the potatoes.

Now is the time for potatoes to swell, so the soil must be raised higher to create a suitable environment for the growth of potatoes, to ensure that they will not grow outside when they swell, and the skin will turn blue when exposed to air.

After cooking the potatoes, the two went to the Eagle Clan.

Bai Wu's family now has a lot of iron ore, so he entrusted people from the Eagle tribe to make iron plows.

The two cows in their family have grown up and can bear the heavy responsibility of plowing the fields.

They just need to clean up all kinds of weeds and stones on the ground, and let the oxen pull the plow to plow the field.

The soil near the hot spring is relatively fluffy, and the strength of the ox is strong. Pulling the plow and walking over it, a row can be plowed in two or three strokes.

What used to be several days of work can now be completed in one morning.

After the wasteland was plowed out, Baiwu and Nanyao cleaned up the stones, tree roots, grass seeds, insect eggs and other debris in the soil, and sprinkled them with base fertilizer.

Let this piece of wasteland sit for a while, and when it is really time to plant it, turn it over again to clean up the plants on it, and it will be a fertile field.

The potatoes in Baiwu's house are different every day.

Baiwu looks forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the seeds to mature.

After the first batch of seeds matured, he picked them immediately and put them in the morning sun for two days. After drying, they wrapped them in cotton wool and sprayed water on them to start germination.

Maybe it's because the potatoes here are not the same variety as Bai Wu's in his previous life.

This time the potato seeds germinated very smoothly.

Within two days, thin and weak buds grew on it.

This small bud is very fragile, Bai Wu exhales a bit bigger, it may break the small bud, which is completely different from the buds from the potato stem.

Bai Wu hurriedly transplanted the buds with Nan Yao into the vegetable field they cultivated near the hot spring.

He was afraid that the temperature near the hot spring would be too high, so he would visit it every day when he took a bath.

The small buds have been growing, and soon turned from light yellow to light green, and the stems have become much stronger.

Finally, Bai Wu didn't have to worry about a gust of wind blowing them off.

Seeing that the potato seeds were effective, Bai Wu bred another batch of seedlings, and entrusted the nine tribes of the Bird Clan to plant these potato seedlings together.

He wanted to investigate whether the potatoes grown from seedlings could survive the winter naturally, and by the way, see how different places affected the potatoes.

If this batch of potatoes can produce small potatoes, it would be even better to add a dish to everyone.

The nine tribes readily agreed and expressed that they would plant the potatoes in the tribe's vegetable fields.

During the process of planting the potato sprouts, the potato seedlings in Baiwu's family gradually turned yellow and looked like they could be dug.

Bai Wu specially picked a sunny day to go to Nanyao and his family to dig potatoes together with a basket on their backs.

Kishi lazily mentioned that he was not interested, "It's only a small piece of potato field, with only 47 potato plants in total. How can the whole family set off together?"

"Why don't you need it? I want to share the joy of harvest with my family!"

"Speaking of which, what does a potato taste like?"

"I'll make it for you after digging."

This batch of potatoes is the first batch of potatoes in Bai Wu's family. He planted them with great care, with high ridges and large spacing.

Now the potatoes grow like small shrubs, and each one is as high as their waist, and they are extremely luxuriant.

Kishi picked up the hoe, looked for several angles, and wanted to swing the hoe down, but finally stopped, "How do we dig these potatoes? Or cut off the seedlings on top first?"

"No need to chop." Bai Wu embraced the potato seedlings with both hands, gathered them together, grabbed the potato seedlings with difficulty and pulled them up, "Just pull it out—that's fine! Phew!"

Bai Wu spoke forcefully, and directly pulled out the potato seedlings together with the potatoes underneath.

He was flushed red, and he used great strength. The moment the potato was pulled up, he lost his balance and took several steps back, and he was about to stagger and sit on the ground.

Nan Yao supported his waist from behind, supported him, and looked down at the potatoes, "There are quite a lot of knots in these potatoes."

Bai Wu panted, "It's really okay."

Bai Wu shook her hand.

Potatoes have hairs on the stalks that are not pungent, but they are also uncomfortable.

The potatoes they pulled out had light yellow skins, the big ones were bigger than Nan Yao's fist, and the small ones were about the size of ping pong balls.

Chuan and Mo came forward.

Chuan said in surprise: "There are quite a lot of knots in this potato?"

"That's not too much, there must be a lot in the soil."

Bai Wu picked the potatoes hanging from the potato seedlings, put them in the back basket, squatted down, and groped for the potatoes in the soil.

Potatoes are relatively fragile, and they can't just use a hoe to dig down vigorously, otherwise it is easy to dig the potatoes in half.

Digging potatoes is a delicate job.

The family dug the soil little by little with a hoe, and soon found other potatoes in the soil.

These potatoes are like a nest of bird eggs hidden in the soil, big and small nestled in the ground, looking very gratifying.

An squatted beside him and counted: "One, two, three... twelve, thirteen, fourteen, this potato plant has produced fourteen potatoes!"

These fourteen potatoes filled half the basket.

Bai Wu shook his back basket, and among the fourteen potatoes, there were two Big Macs that were slightly smaller than footballs, three little guys that were about the size of table tennis balls, and the remaining nine were big and small, all of good size.

"It's much better than I imagined." Bai Wu said with satisfaction, "Dig again and see how much we can dig in total."

The family worked together and rummaged back and forth in this small potato field three times.

In the last 47 potato plants, a total of 520 large and small potatoes were dug up, which fully filled eleven back baskets!

Bai Wu himself did not expect that the potatoes were so productive.

Looking at the baskets of big potatoes, Bai Wu's mind flashed the scenes of them carefully tending the potatoes, from cutting into pieces and covering them with ashes, to weeding and cultivating the soil, to fertilizing and pollinating.

This potato field is not big, but they really sweat a lot in the field.

Today's harvest is enough to comfort them for all their hard work.

As soon as he got home, Bai Wu picked up a basket of potatoes and couldn't wait to get into the kitchen, "You guys take a break, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Nan Yao followed behind him, "I'll help."

Chuan and Mo originally wanted to help, but seeing this scene, they stopped and did not disturb them.

Kishi slumped on the wooden recliner recently purchased by their family, grabbed a fan to fan the wind, "I don't want to move at all now."

Bai Wu said to him in the kitchen: "You guys take a rest, just wait and eat."

Bai Wu had already thought of countless potato recipes in his mind - French fries, mashed potatoes, potato ribs, hot and sour potato shreds...

When he first changed to potatoes, he was already greedy. Considering how hard it was to get such a small amount of seeds, he was reluctant to eat them. He was greedy for half a year, and today he was finally able to eat a good meal.

Bai Wu specially took out a few oil-bottomed steaks from the jar, and used them to stew potatoes.

French fries after the potatoes are stewed.

The unique aroma of potatoes soon spread all over the yard.

Bai Wu fried the first batch of French fries on the stove, took a small plate with a dry plate, served it with chopsticks and biting fruit dipping sauce, and handed it to Nan Yao, "Taste the taste, how about it?"

The French fries are first boiled in salt water and then deep-fried. The squeezed out is fragrant and soft, and the taste is even better when dipped in dipping sauce.

Nanyao tasted one, and met Shang Baiwu's inquiring eyes, took one with chopsticks and dipped it in the dipping material, and handed it to his mouth, "You'll know after a taste."

"Well, it's delicious!"

Head to head, the two smiled at each other and ate several French fries.

Hearing the movement, Kishi straightened up and looked in from the kitchen door, just in time to see the two of them eating French fries.

Bai Wu was confident and confident, "What is this called a small stove, this is the cook's test dish!"

When Kishi smelled the aroma, he was already hungry, and the reason of trying the dishes was not enough to convince him.

He wailed and wanted to come over to try the dishes.

Two big wolves were at his feet, and they howled along with him.

Bai Wu said: "Wipe the table, we can eat soon."

Bai Wu's family has just harvested a season of rice, and now they are eating new rice.

The rice cooked from the new rice is fragrant and soft, with distinct grains, and the steam that comes out when it is served is particularly fragrant and pleasant.

Bai Wu put the stewed pork ribs up, brushed the pot briefly, and then started to fry hot and sour potato shreds on high heat.

They don't have vinegar, but they have sour jam.

The hot and sour sauce prepared with bite fruit and sour jam is sour and spicy. After pouring the sauce into the shredded potatoes with a "zi" sound, he immediately coated the shredded potatoes with a sauce-red color.

Add miso and salt to the white turnip, stir fry evenly, sprinkle a handful of green onion on top, and the hot and sour potato shreds are ready.

"Have a meal!"

Bai Wu yelled, and everyone who served the dishes served the dishes, and those who took the chopsticks took the chopsticks, ready to serve the meal.

As soon as it was on the table, everyone stretched their chopsticks towards the hot and sour potato shreds in unison.

The shredded potatoes are sour, spicy, fragrant and crispy, which is simply a magic weapon for eating.

Bai Wu took a hissing breath, his eyes lit up.

This is the taste of memory!It is the unique taste of hot and sour potato shreds fried in a large fire, iron pan, and wok!

The hot and sour potato shreds are very delicious, and the potato cubes stewed with the ribs are also fragrant and soft. After soaking up the soup, the potato and meat flavors are perfectly mixed together, making people unable to stop eating one piece at a time.

Bai Wu had a chopstick of potato shreds and a chopstick of potato cubes, sweating profusely from eating.

The same goes for the family members, the chopsticks are stretched out very fast.

After this meal, everyone was full.

From the bread kiln, Mo served mashed potatoes with goat's milk, honey and cheese baked until golden brown, as dessert for everyone.

The mashed potatoes have just been taken out, scooped up with a spoon, and can still be shredded.

When they tasted it, the mashed potatoes were fragrant and sweet, with a dense texture, which was different from shredded potatoes and cubes.

Kishi looked at the mashed potatoes under his hand, "This potato is amazing, it tastes like a different way."

Bai Wu just dug a mouthful of mashed potatoes into his mouth, and was breathing heavily.

After eating this bite, he had time to answer, "Of course, there are other ways to do it. When we find peppers later, we can also make fried potatoes. The potatoes are fried until soft, pressed into cakes, and sprinkled with a handful of them." Paprika, that taste—that's the thing."

Kishi thought for a while, then shook his head, "French fries are already delicious, I can't think of any."
