Farming and Reclaiming Wasteland, I Pampered Hou Ye In Ancient Times

Jiang Xinyan heard the shrill screams, "Husband, are Brother Xiang and Xiao Songjiang playing tricks?"

Chu Lixuan has deep inner strength. He heard the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao very clearly, but he didn't have time to say it.

Because Jiang Xinyan is teaching the captain of the watermelon planting, Uncle Cheng and the captains are pinching the tips of the watermelon vines.

When his daughter-in-law asked him, she leaned into her ear and whispered to Jiang Xinyan about the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao.

Chu Lixuan spoke slowly with his unique magnetic voice, and he didn't forget to say a word.

"Song Mingjiang and Brother Xiang are not that powerful yet! It's okay to play tricks on children, but it's not enough to deal with Dai Yuntao and the others."

Jiang Xinyan: "..." She was about to praise the two little guys, but when she heard the man's words, she couldn't say the praise.

Chu Lixuan smugly looked at her little expression that was hesitant to say anything.

Why are you complimenting others? Not even a child, if she could, she could only praise him.

When Chu Lixuan and his wife passed by the watermelon field on horseback, Jiang Xinyan saw the watermelon growers fertilizing and pinching the tips of the watermelon vines.

She previously told the team leaders and team leaders who planted watermelons that when the watermelon vines grow to 50 to 60 centimeters, they should pinch off their heads and fertilize them in time.

Therefore, the watermelon growers were busy, so Jiang Xinyan and Chu Lixuan dismounted and taught them how to pinch the watermelon vines.

Whether it is before flowering, during fruit setting or after fruit setting, it is necessary to pinch the watermelon vines to reduce nutrient consumption and allow nutrients to grow on the fruit.

"Madam, you know a lot! We have lived in the north for decades, and no one has ever grown watermelons."

Uncle Cheng is now the captain of the watermelon planting team, and his wife taught them to pinch the tips of watermelon vines before.

Knowing the main points, it is not difficult. The watermelon planting team leader was Song Ershu before. After he applied to raise horses, Cheng Ershu rose from the team leader to the watermelon planting leader.

When he was in the capital thirty years ago, he ate watermelon and was exiled to this barren, bitter and cold land.

He had forgotten what a watermelon looked like. Now that he saw some watermelon vines bearing egg-sized watermelons, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

In addition to eating and sleeping, Uncle Cheng is busy in the watermelon field every day, because the time to pinch the watermelon vines should be appropriate.

Generally, when the main vine of the watermelon grows to 50 centimeters, you can pinch the head, and it is not enough. It should be pinch every three to five days, and a vine needs to be pinch three to four times.

There are a lot of watermelons planted in their castle, and they are also watermelons grown in wasteland, so the time is not uniform, some days are early and some days are late.

Therefore, Uncle Cheng was busy pinching the watermelon tips every day, and in the process of pinching the watermelon vines, he had to pull back the vines at the front of the young melons.

Wrap around a young melon, then pinch off the shoots at the top of the vine to concentrate the nutrients on the fruiting side shoots.

If the side branches of the fruit are leggy, it is also necessary to pinch off the tip, which is conducive to the growth of the fruit. Uncle Cheng is very rare.

"Master Chu, Madam Chu, I saw that this little watermelon was the size of an egg yesterday, but now it has a big bowl, and it grows a lot in one day!"

"Well, what you need to pay attention to is that after the watermelon is fruited, the nutrients are mainly concentrated on the fruit, and the growth of the vines will slow down, so don't pinch the tips anymore."

Jiang Xinyan is also very happy to see the little watermelon that grows a circle in a day. They have grown watermelons in their space and ate them long ago.

However, they can't take it out to eat, and the couple is not very motivated to eat alone.

Now I see the watermelons that everyone grows by themselves growing up, and I still feel a sense of accomplishment.

In more than 20 days, the earliest watermelon can be eaten, and I will be happy just thinking about that scene.

"Pay attention to the piece over there. Before the watermelon blooms, if the watermelon vine grows very fast, it must be topped off, and the top of the main vine and the side vine should be removed, so that the watermelon vine does not grow too long.

In this way, it is easier to produce beautiful flowers, and it is easier to bear fruit later.

When the watermelon vine grows the first, larger watermelon, you should pick the first watermelon in time, and when the second fruit grows to the size of an egg, you can pinch the vine.

When the fruit is growing vigorously, the vines are numerous and the leaves are very dense. In addition to topping, it is necessary to trim off the excess branches and leaves.

When pinching the tip, press the vines on one side, and then start the big top from the eighth leaf from the fruit to the top. If there are many branches and vines, top the side vines. "

After Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, she thought that someone would come to ask her questions, but everyone knew it, and she didn't need to say more.

"We all remember that it turns out that you need to know so much about growing watermelons!" said a team leader admiringly.

He is a group of exiles who were exiled together with Chu Lixuan and the others. To be precise, he still hasn't suffered much.

He used to be a fourth-rank official in the capital. He was framed by his colleagues and exiled because he offended someone. His wife came along with him.

There was a lot of money on the road, and the food along the way was good. In the end, when we encountered a plague of locusts, everyone was hungry for a few days, so they followed Chu Lixuan and his wife to eat delicious and spicy food.

Those exiles who really made mistakes and misbehavior were starved to death on the way.

Anyone who can stay has a good character, and almost all of them are officials who have been wronged.

"That's right, whether it's growing watermelons, rice, potatoes, or vegetables, you need to know a little bit of technology." Jiang Xinyan shook her hair arrogantly and said.

To be a farmer, you also need to be literate and skilled in farming, which not only produces high yields, but also multiplies the results with half the effort.

"Madam is absolutely right. We have been here for more than 30 years. No one has ever planted such beautiful seedlings and potatoes here. We have never seen them before."

Uncle Cheng said with emotion that it was not his heart, but the fact was that the seedlings they planted before were shorter.

Not to mention the satiating food of potatoes, and snow lotus juice, they didn't know that snow lotus fruit could be eaten before!

Dai Yuntao was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse, screaming in horror at his personal guard.

His personal guard didn't know that his internal strength had recovered, and thought he was still seriously injured.

However, Dai Yuntao's martial arts skills naturally wouldn't really fall, so he lifted up his inner strength and sat down firmly.

He was just so shocked that he forgot that he was sitting on a horse, and then he tilted a little.

Song Mingjiang exaggeratedly patted his chest with his small hands: "You scared me to death, big brother, you didn't say you wouldn't be shocked again, my soul was scared away by you."

Dai Yuntao: "..." His face crackled.
