Chapter 3 Going Out
"You can always find it. Others planted it earlier than ours." Wang Mingya smiled.

Chen Qiuxiang also agrees with Wang Mingya's words very much, because in this era, people basically don't plant rice seedlings before transplanting them, but directly sow them in the field and let them grow.

If her family still wants to grow seedlings, it will take a month to plant the seedlings. By then, other families in the village will have already finished planting.

After breakfast, Chen Qiuxiang took Qin Xiaobao out to play, and of course followed Qin Muzhang and the others to see their own land.

"If we plan to grow rice in our paddy fields, what should we grow in dry fields?" Chen Qiuxiang asked Qin Muzhang, who was walking beside her with his son in his arms, "Should we grow upland rice? Or some corn and sweet potatoes?"

"Want to grow corn and sweet potatoes?" Qin Muzhang looked down at her. You must know that there is no corn and sweet potatoes in this era. Even if there are, they should be on the other side of the ocean. Is it really okay to bring them out now?

"I want to eat." Chen Qiuxiang looked up at him and smiled slightly.

She really wants to eat delicacies made of corn and sweet potatoes, she misses the boiled corn alone, let alone other delicacies made of corn and sweet potatoes?

"Besides, the people in our village are very kind to our little treasure." Chen Qiuxiang said.

In the original plot, Qin Xiaobao's five elders died one after another, and no one cared about him when he was ten years old.If it wasn't for the help of other members of the Qin family in the Qin family village, how could he live well and be able to study?
Qinjiazhuang is a village with a lot of people from the Qin clan. There used to be a relatively prominent clan member back then, and later with the help of that clansman, he bought a sacrifice field, built an ancestral hall, and established a private school of ethnology.

In the original plot, Qin Xiaobao and Qin Moyan can continue to study after his relatives are gone. It is also because all members of the Qin clan can go to the clan school to study. As long as he persists and has talent, the clan study will support him to go further.

Of course, the people of the Qin clan in Qinjiazhuang are also very humane. Even if everyone has conflicts with each other, they are not so cruel as to watch a child starve to death. Therefore, although Qin Xiaobao lost his parents and grandparents, he still got others. The care of the Qin clan.

As for Qin Songtao's parents, they were long gone at that time. Qin Songtao's brother didn't have a good relationship with him, and then the relationship faded. It was impossible to take Qin Xiaobao to their home to raise him, and he could take care of him a little bit or twice. That's fine.

"The reason why Xiaobao suffers is because almost all of our family's fields have been sold." Chen Qiuxiang sighed. After all, he lost two pillars.

Later, Qin Muyu's health worsened, so Wang Mingya had to sell the fields to buy medicine for his son, and better food and clothing for his grandson.

Later, the Qin family's original ten acres of land had already been sold out.

"The rest of the Qin family are still very kind to Xiaobao. If it weren't for them, how could Xiaobao stick to the route of the imperial examination and become the chief assistant of a generation?" Chen Qiuxiang whispered.

Qin Muzhang also agreed with his wife's words, nodded and said, "Are you going to grow sweet potatoes and corn, and then share them with others, so that everyone can grow them together?"

"Yeah." Chen Qiuxiang nodded, "The output of sweet potatoes and corn is very high, and they basically don't choose land."

In fact, rice seeds are also stored in her space, but the reason why rice is rice is that it is picky about fields and needs fields with water.But there are not many paddy fields in every household, and there are more dry fields and dry land. Of course, it is better to choose some crops suitable for planting in dry land.

"You're right, it's up to you to decide." Qin Muzhang said with a smile, "Mom and Dad must have no objection, the yield of sweet potatoes and corn is much higher than that of upland rice."

Chen Qiuxiang nodded to show that he knew, and then looked at Qin Xiaobao who was sitting on Qin Muzhang's shoulder excitedly pointing at the people outside, with a smile on his face that he couldn't control.

Chen Qiuxiang actually doesn't like to take care of children. Although she grew up in an orphanage and raised many younger siblings, she is not a very patient person.Later, she was with Qin Muzhang, and then encountered the end of the world, so it was logical for her not to have children.

Qin Muzhang did not force her to have a child. It is really difficult to have a child in the last days. In the early days, there were many dangers. Although the order stabilized later, it did not mean that there was no danger. He did not want his lover to take risks.

Now I don't have to go through the pregnancy in October, the breastfeeding period and the ignorant one or two-year-old period, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old child. Chen Qiuxiang thinks it is very good.

"Daddy, Daddy——Fei Gaogao——" Qin Xiaobao, who was sitting on Qin Muzhang's shoulder, waved his little hands and shouted. He likes to play with his father the most.

"Fly high—fly high—"

Chen Qiuxiang was also in a good mood listening to his son's cheerful voice.

"Hey, Zhang, where are you taking your mother-in-law and Xiaobao?" When the family of three walked halfway, they met an aunt who was going out with a basket. When she saw the three of them, she called hello.

"Aunt Lin, where are you going this early in the morning?" Chen Qiuxiang greeted the aunt with a smile.

"Go out and look for wild vegetables. This is the time when wild vegetables are tender, so I have to look for them." Aunt Lin said with a smile, "Find some gotu kola or white cauliflower, which is also a good dish." .”

"Auntie's family is afraid that there will be no vegetables to eat? Auntie is a good farmer. There are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field. Why do I need to go out to pick wild vegetables?" Chen Qiuxiang complimented.

Qinjiazhuang is located in the south with a warm climate, and it is still possible to grow vegetables and food even in winter, so there is no such thing as a vegetable that has just been planted in the spring and has not grown yet, so you can only pick wild vegetables to eat.

Everyone picks wild vegetables basically because there is not enough food at home, not enough vegetables to grow, or because they just want to eat that bite of vegetables.

For example, the local name is white cauliflower, and the scientific name is nightshade, which is what everyone likes to eat. If the wild ones outside are not enough to eat, they will open their own vegetable beds and plant one or two beds.

Gotu Kola and white cauliflower prefer to grow in fields, vegetable fields, and mountains. If they can be harvested, they can also be a good meal for everyone.

However, both gotu kola and cauliflower have a bit of bitter taste. If they are very tender, the bitter taste will be very light, and if there are some, the bitter taste will be heavy. If you eat this kind of food, you need to be mentally prepared.

But Chen Qiuxiang has to admit that she also likes to eat these two kinds of wild vegetables.

Another kind of wild vegetable is chrysanthemum chrysanthemum. In Chen Qiuxiang's previous life, this kind of vegetable is called revolutionary vegetable, and it is also a favorite of local people.

The climate and environment of Qinjiazhuang is a bit similar to that of Qiongnan, her hometown in her previous life, but it is not Qiongnan here, so it is a bit strange.
