Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 286 Green Food
During the soaking period of the seeds, Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin turned over the burned land several times, and did not stop until the ashes of the fallen leaves and the soil were completely blended together.

"The time is just right, Xilin, fetch water!"

Lin Xiao planted the soaked seeds one by one in the soil, and casually gave Yu Xilin instructions.

"Oh!"

Yu Xilin nodded, and then walked over with a bucket of fresh water.

Lin Xiao carefully watered it spoonful after spoonful, as if these were not seeds, but her children.

The other farmers shook their heads when they saw this scene, and Uncle Gen was even more angry.

"The seeds are so loose, it's impossible to grow vegetables! This kid is obviously messing around!"

"Oh, what a pity for these precious seeds."

"Isn't that right! How can there be so much water for a single seed? Are you not afraid of drowning the seeds!"

"I think he did it on purpose, wasting the vegetable seeds on purpose!"

"Yes, yes! I think so too!"

"This kind of person is really disgusting..."

"..."

The farmers were chattering away, with regret and indignation on their faces.

When Yu Xilin heard them talking, she couldn't help frowning.

He looked at Lin Xiao and saw that she was still sprinkling water intently, with a peaceful smile on her face, and his heart softened.

"Xiao Linzi..."

Yu Xilin called softly.

Hearing the sound, Lin Xiao raised his head, looked at Yu Xilin softly, and asked:

"What's up?"

Hearing this, Yu Xilin hesitated for a moment, but still asked out the doubts in her heart:

"Xiao Linzi, aren't you afraid of drowning the seeds when you water like this?"

"You don't understand that, do you?"

Lin Xiao said with a smile, keeping his hands on:

"Vegetables like water the most. If they are not watered thoroughly, the vegetables will not only wilt, but will not grow fresh at all."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao scooped up another scoop of cold water and poured it onto the vegetable patch...

Lin Xiao repeated this action for three days.

In the past three days, she was often ridiculed by the group of farmers led by Uncle Gen, but she enjoyed it.

Every day I take the time to pour a pot of water into the vegetable field.

She believes that after the green vegetable seeds germinate, the growth will be very gratifying.

As expected, on the morning of the fourth day, the green vegetable seedlings took over the entire vegetable field!

Hongye and the others opened their mouths wide in surprise, looking at Lin Xiao in addition to surprise, there was also a bit of admiration in their eyes.

"This"

Lin Xiao walked up to Lin Xiao, and asked with red eyes:

"This piece of land has never been planted with anything, and you actually planted vegetable seedlings in this way?!"

Lin Xiao smiled:
"It's not too late to praise me after Qingcai grows up!"

With that said, a ladle of water was poured down.

The green and green shoots of green vegetables popped out of the soil, and the branches swayed in the wind, looking full of vitality.

Hongye stared blankly at all this, unable to say a word for a long time.

On the other hand, Uncle Gen muttered unconvinced:

"It's just luck! I don't believe these vegetables can grow!"

When Lin Xiao heard this, she glanced at Uncle Gen out of the corner of her eye, and said lightly:

"Just wait and see! The storage will surprise you!"

Uncle Gen gave a cold snort of disdain.

Lin Xiao ignored him, took a bucket and a shovel, and led Yu Xilin to the toilet.

Yu Xilin looked bewildered:
"Xiao Linzi, why did you bring me here? It stinks!"

"compost."

Lin Xiao scooped up the excrement with a shovel, piled it in a bucket, and then carried the excrement bucket with Yu Xilin to the vegetable field.

Everyone smelled this familiar and superior smell, they covered their noses in unison, and their faces became ugly.

Uncle Gen showed a disgusted expression on his face, and said:
"What are you doing here with everyone's dirty things?!"

"Isn't it? Isn't it? You don't know that manure is a green and pollution-free high-quality fertilizer?"

Lin Xiao had a look of disbelief, looking at Uncle Gen as if he was looking at a mentally handicapped person.

"nonsense!"

Uncle Gen snorted coldly, and said arrogantly:
"We grow vegetables to eat! How can they be polluted by such filth?"

"You... are really a group of stubborn old antiques!"

Lin Xiao finally knew the reason for their low vegetable production.

She didn't bother to take care of them. She scooped up a spoonful of dung water with a spoon for scooping up water, and poured it bit by bit on the roots of the vegetable seedlings to make them thrive.

The others looked at this scene, disgusted and speechless.

Even Uncle Gen couldn't take it anymore, he frowned and said to the people around him:
"Let's go first! I've been here for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable!"

"Go! Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding farmers hurried away.

Even Hongye, who brought the food, was no exception. After putting down the food, she turned around and ran away, fearing that if she stayed a little longer, she would be poisoned.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao shrugged helplessly and continued to water the vegetable seedlings.

"Xiao Linzi, let's water this thing, can the greens that grow out be eaten? Won't it stink?"

Yu Xilin looked at the spoonfuls of excrement, worry written all over her face.

"Come and smell it tomorrow to see if there is any smell."

Lin Xiao said with a smile, with a touch of confidence on his face.

Please, this is a pure natural and pollution-free green food, okay?

How could there be a smell!
The next day, Yu Xilin looked at the vegetable seedlings that were much taller than yesterday, and danced excitedly:

"Xiao Linzi, there is really no smell at all!"

Hongye, who came to deliver the meal, was also amazed when she saw these extremely growing green vegetable seedlings, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"It's only been a few days of hard work, and the green vegetables have grown so big?"

"Where is this?"

Lin Xiao raised his chin proudly, with a look of pride:

"After another ten days and a half a month, these green vegetables are guaranteed to be strong and tender!"

Hongye asked in disbelief:
"Strong and tender? How big can these green vegetables grow?"

"Maybe it can grow to about half a meter."

Lin Xiao replied conservatively.

In fact, as long as the green vegetables don’t pull out the roots and only eat the leaves, they can grow forever, and eventually they will be like a small sapling.

It's just that the green vegetables at that time have become old-fashioned dishes, and the taste is extremely bad, not delicious!
"About half a meter?!"

Hongye exclaimed!

In her impression, these green vegetables can only grow to the size of the palm at most, and they will wilt if they are bigger, and there is no way to eat them...

Her exclamation attracted the attention of Uncle Gen and the others. They all gathered together and saw that the green vegetable seedlings on Lin Xiaocai's field were a lot higher, and their eyes widened.

"This...how is this possible!"

"The seedlings have grown so big in just a few days, won't they be ready to eat in a few days?"

"Do you dare to eat dung-pouring vegetables?"

"But I don't smell the stench of dung!"

"When you say that, I don't seem to have smelled it. It's so strange. He obviously poured manure water yesterday..."
