A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 48 [048] Give birth to potatoes

Anyway, there is very little food in this season, so no matter which one, you can eat as many vegetables as you want. In February/March, the food is green and yellow, and there is nothing you want. In previous years, there will be spinach, radish and cabbage that can be stored. This year's winter vegetables are special. In the first month, all that can be eaten will be eaten, so February/March has become the most difficult month.

After the earth began to rejuvenate in early March, the wild vegetables made people's mouths and mouths have the taste of vegetables. Not to mention in April, when the wild vegetables are growing, the wheat seedlings in the ground are also jumping up one by one every day. April is the rainy season again, with spring rains from time to time, this year's wheat seedlings will grow more vigorously.

The potatoes, taro, and sweet potatoes planted by A Niang are all in their backyard. Of course, the sources of seeds are also very precious, and they have to be bought with money. The price is not low. Because of the special situation this year, the seedlings in many places have been eaten. So it's not easy to buy seeds, the price or something, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it?
Zhuo Lin had been eyeing this kind of vegetable with high starch content early in the morning. My father would not take her with me when I went to the mountains, but my mother would like to take her with me when I went to the fields. The main thing is to let her watch the children, and she is also willing. Because in this way, she can ripen any vegetables she wants to ripen in a fair manner.

She didn't dare to touch these starchy vegetables before because they were too small, but now that they have grown luxuriantly, she doesn't have to be polite.

The industrious mother and aunt tidied up the small vegetable fields of their two families. There was not even a single grass, and they brought water from time to time to water them, hoping that they would grow up quickly and be used as food for the children. .

After one morning, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen packed up their hoe and were about to leave, but they saw their little girl kneeling in the potato field, not knowing what she was doing. At first they thought she was digging a hole, but they ran over to have a look. , Good guy, there are more than a dozen fist-sized potatoes next to this girl.

For a moment, the sister-in-law was stunned: "The potatoes have grown up now? No, it has only been planted for a month or so, so it will take more than two months to ripen, right?"

Zhuo Lin only gave birth to one tree, and it exploded the ground. After pulling it out, there were more than a dozen of them hanging underneath, each as big as a fist. Is it too much birth?

She touched her nose uncomfortably, and the aunt and mother squatted down to study for a while, and then found that only this one was ripe, and felt even weirder, and quickly picked her up: "What's going on? ? How do you know this one is ripe?"

"It's all cracked. I saw the baby potatoes, so I picked them up. As a result, the more I picked them out, the more I picked them all out!"

Zhuo Lin looked innocent, and the sister-in-law on the opposite side still looked confused. They didn't know why they picked up the potatoes on the ground, looked left and right, and asked each other inexplicably.

"My God, isn't this too weird?"

Auntie first came to her senses: "Whether it's strange or not, it grows so much at once, it's enough for every one of us in the family, hide it secretly under the basket, don't let others see it, and this potato seedling, too. Take it home, chop it up and put it in the pot, don’t let it go to waste.”

"Not sister-in-law, can this be eaten?"

"Why can't I eat it? You look at the watery one. It's so big and so good. Speaking of it, Linlin seems to be very lucky. She picked up a lot of peanuts a while ago, and she also There is that Chinese cabbage, Chinese toon, yes, don’t you think it’s strange, the Chinese toon trees around us don’t seem to grow anymore, they only sprout and don’t grow leaves.”

As the eldest aunt was talking, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law couldn't help but glance at Linlin...
