Xu Qingzhi came out of the spiritual space, washed up, and opened WeChat, only to see that people in the group were clamoring for sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes will definitely not be sold this time, and grandpa didn’t grow many, so he promised to keep some to help her grow sweet potato seedlings next year.
She replied in the group: "Wait until I grow more next year before selling."
There are more than 80 acres of flat land on the back mountain. She doesn't have a specific idea of what to plant on each piece of land, she just has a rough plan.
Anyway, just plant whatever you want when the time comes.
For example, cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, watermelons, melons... many of them are not grown by her.
And if you look into it more specifically, there are several varieties of cherry tomatoes, and she wants to grow them all.
For example, the Huangfei tomato is very sweet, although its skin is a bit thick, but it tastes good, and the thick skin is actually an advantage in transportation. There are also sweet aperitifs, such as Jin Xiangyu, which are juicy, pure and sweet and have a high yield.
She even has several kinds of melons she wants to grow.
The melons grown in Meicheng are especially delicious. In addition, watermelons and melons were very cheap when I was a child, so Xiao Qingzhi ate a lot of them and got used to them.
Later, when I went to college and started acting, I rarely saw melons of this type outside, and I began to yearn for the taste of them.
The speaking habits in Taoshui Village are much simpler. For example, pear melon and cantaloupe can also be called melon, because they are both sweet.
Pear melons are more common. Muskmelons are different from the round melons on the outside. They are a yellow oval melon with white lines.
The skin of this kind of melon can be eaten, and the flesh is much softer and sweeter than the round and hard melons outside.
However, these are not suitable for planting in the second half of the year. We have to wait until February or March of next spring when all things come back to life and the trees sprout new buds, which is the busy farming time.
Xu Qingzhi did not forget that her brother wanted to eat potatoes, but no one in Taoshui Village grew them, and no one ate them.
If she grows too many potatoes, her brother won't be able to eat them all by himself, so he has to sell them.
Although spiritual dishes are good dishes, they will be difficult to sell if few people like to eat them.
She herself doesn't like to eat it, so she was a little unsure. The easiest way at this time was naturally to ask in the group.
Qingzhi: "Does anyone like to eat potatoes?"
Someone responded immediately.
Incredible tone: "Potatoes... is there anyone who doesn't like them?"
The group started discussing sweet potatoes, criticizing the boss for being a bad person, and how he had the nerve to post it on WeChat Moments to make everyone jealous even though he didn't sell sweet potatoes, and then they started discussing potatoes.
"I just don't like potatoes, except for French fries."
"I always love eating potatoes~"
"Potatoes are delicious whether they are fried, boiled, stewed, stir-fried, sliced, cut into strips, cubed or shredded!"
"Why are you asking that, boss? Don't you want to grow it if you don't like to eat it?"
"I don't like potatoes. Maybe it's because I grew up in the mountains. Every winter, we had potatoes for three meals a day. I really felt like I was going to become a potato lover. After I grew up and started working, I never ate potatoes again. Seeing them would remind me of the cold winter when I sat on a bench and picked up potatoes from the pot."
"I like to eat potatoes. I can't live without potatoes."
“Hate potatoes.”
"When I have money, I will make all potatoes disappear from the world."
"When I get rich, I will plant potatoes all over the world, hahahahahahaha..."
"You two go out and have a fight."
"Oh, potatoes, they are the most precious gift God has given to mankind, the most perfect food in the world. Shredded potatoes are delicious, potato chips are delicious, potato cubes are delicious, mashed potatoes are delicious, fried, baked, steamed, pan-fried, they are all delicious, French fries are delicious, hash browns are delicious, cumin is delicious, dipped in chili, baked with cheese is delicious, they are delicious in any way, even cooked whole and sprinkled with salt, there is no flaw except that they cannot be eaten because they sprout and are poisonous."
“Potatogate lives on!”
Xu Qingzhi saw that most people were more accepting of potatoes, so after thinking about it, he decided to plant some.
The next day, she told Xu Fuqiang that she wanted to go to the county vegetable market to buy some potatoes and germinate and plant some herself.
Xu Fuqiang waved his hand and told her to stay at home. "Dad will just go there and it will be fine."
Of course Xu Qingzhi would not be polite to her biological father. She transferred some money to him and told him to drive slowly, especially at the intersection with several turns. There was a blind spot and he could not see what was ahead. There was no mirror to warn him, so he could only honk the horn in advance to remind oncoming cars to turn slowly because there were cars around.
Xu Fuqiang assured her not to worry, took the car keys and drove away.
Wang Yanmei was listening nearby, smiling, "You, you just spoil your brother. If he wants to eat potatoes, you really plant them for him."
"It's okay, Mom. The potatoes were planted in October this year and will be harvested in February or March next year. There won't be many other vegetables to eat by then."
Wang Yanmei had no objection: "Okay, if you want to plant it, just plant it. If you can't finish it, you can sell it. Although it's not popular in Meicheng, there are still many people outside who like to eat it."
