Lu Yan didn't take it seriously at all. "If she wants to plant, she can plant."
"I even helped her to turn the soil."
Lu Zongyi: "...You are at home, why don't you help me to turn the soil?"
"Are you my daughter-in-law?"
Lu Zongyi: "I am your father."
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in the future." Anyway, the women and daughters-in-law of their Lu family are all the same.
"You will suffer in the future." Lu Zongyi hung up the phone. He had the most different feelings for this youngest son. He thought he was the most like himself. Of course, why did he think so? It was definitely not because this youngest son was the most handsome.
Poor boy, luckily your father left you a skill.
The steamed buns made by his youngest son were especially delicious. He even missed them a little.
Qin Rou had been in a slump for two days, but she had not done nothing. She was preparing for the broadcaster exam, practicing tongue twisters every day, and spent a lot of time to stimulate the growth of seeds. Qin Rou planned to plant lettuce,
leeks, coriander, green onions, ginger and garlic on the terrace. Other tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, loofahs, Dutch beans, radishes, etc. were planted in the vegetable garden in the yard.
Planting vegetables is not an easy task. When Qin Rou bought seeds, she paid attention to choosing good varieties suitable for the climate here. She went to the seed station several times, asked about the temperature and light requirements, and kept records one by one.
There are many agricultural planting research and experimental gardens on Qiongzhou Island. Because of the special climate here, other places can only plant one season a year, but here they can plant two or three seasons. Therefore, there are many breeding experimental departments here.
There should be an agricultural school as well. It is most suitable to open an agricultural school in this place, as there are many species here.
As a child of a flower-growing family, Qin Rou has always been curious about planting. She is also curious about agricultural schools. Generally, the hot searches of agricultural universities are nothing more than tragic events such as "graduation thesis" being eaten.
However, she has also heard that agricultural universities have some advantages. For example, fruits, you can buy strange fruits grown by seniors at the school gate, and they are very cheap.
"Are you trying to grow cocoa trees? Are there cocoa trees in the Baoning breeding station? What kind of tree is that? Is it the tree for making chocolate?" Qin Rou was chatting with someone at the seed station when she accidentally heard the staff here talking about cocoa trees. She couldn't help but curiously inquire about it.
"Yes, do you know chocolate?"
"I've eaten the happy chocolate produced in Shanghai."
Qin Rou took note of the place. If there is a chance in the future, can I get some cocoa trees to plant.
Of course, now she still grows her vegetables first.
Qin Rou attaches the most importance to her lettuce planting business. She wants to eat oyster sauce lettuce, garlic lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, lettuce... It is difficult to grow lettuce here. The temperature on Qiongzhou Island is relatively high. The germination rate of lettuce seeds is low at high temperatures, so low temperatures must be used to promote growth.
Qin Rou soaked the seeds in water. Fortunately, there was a freezer at home. She put a few bottles of water in it and froze them into ice cubes. She also made a simple box, similar to the one used to sell popsicles, and covered it with the worn-out quilt given by Comrade Li Qinghua.
It is said that this quilt was insisted on by Huahua's mother when she followed the army. The winter in their hometown was cold, and they couldn't do without this thick quilt. Although this quilt was a little torn, it was her treasure at that time.
The former cinnabar mole has become mosquito blood on the wall.
"You want to cover the ice cube with a quilt, won't it melt?" Li Qinghua felt that Comrade Xiao Qin always did things unexpectedly.
"Well, because Comrade Bingkuai also needs to take good insulation measures."
Put the soaked seeds in this small low-temperature refrigerator to promote germination. After the seeds are all white, Qin Rou sows them in the soil.
During this period of time, she planted a lot of seeds and waited for them to germinate. For things like cucumbers and tomatoes, you have to carefully select a few high-quality seedlings with the best growth potential and cultivate them carefully. The others can only be strangled.
Survival of the fittest. With limited resources, you can only select good seedlings for cultivation.
The world of plants is also so cruel.
Qin Rou not only plants herself, she also brings her two little guys to plant. She doesn't let them plant other things, but lets the two little guys manage two pots of leeks. Yes, under the current climate conditions, the leek contestants will probably have the highest survival rate and the best growth potential.
It is so embarrassing to let the kids grow cherry tomatoes and strawberries. What if they die? What if they don't bear fruit? What if... there are too many what ifs. But leeks are different.
A big pot of leeks, green eyes are panic, the rising trend is gratifying, and after the harvest, they can be mixed with seafood and fish to make dumplings, and experience the joy of harvest when eating dumplings.
Who else but me to be the leek player?
In order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the two kids in planting, it is best to let them cultivate leeks and become leek babies.
Qin Rou thought about it, leek babies sounded not very good, always reminding people of leeks being harvested in the stock market.
It is better not to be a leek, but to be the one who harvests leeks.
So they are raising leek babies.
"Okay, put your little labels on your own leek pots. From now on, these are the leeks you two are responsible for."
Qin Rou asked them to plant leeks and write a diary of leek cultivation. Of course, the two kids didn't know many words, so they couldn't write. The diary Qin Rou mentioned was for them to draw.
Record the growth process of the leeks you raised.
In addition to assigning them the task of raising leeks, Qin Rou also gave the two kids the glorious task of managing the chicken coop. Qin Rou
asked the orderly of the family compound to get a lot of green bricks, and together with the two kids, as well as Li Qinghua and her son, built a beautiful chicken coop in their yard.
It was a simple little house with a square below and a triangle above, or a row house with two bedrooms connected inside.
Qin Rou also put the small grass nest she had built inside.
"I built this chicken nest!" The little fat boy was a little unsatisfied.
Chen Jingyi's eyes sparkled.
"It's so beautiful! Mom, I want to raise chickens too." Liu Yue said to his mother. All his friends had chickens, and he couldn't live without them.
Li Qinghua was also subtly moved. She didn't know why, but she was very moved.
Logically speaking, growing vegetables, raising chickens, ducks, and feeding pigs were things she had been used to since she was a child. She finally got rid of this painful work and came to Qiongzhou Island. She was lazy for a few years. Wouldn't it be good to be idle every day? Why did she have to find something to do?
Let’s not talk about raising chickens, raising pigs has the worst smell. Now that she lives in such a beautiful little house, Li Qinghua has never thought about raising these things. She can keep the pineapple honey tree because she thinks it smells good in the yard.
There is no shortage of meat here, fish, shrimp, crab meat, you can eat it by steaming and boiling. There are also some meat coupons every month, you can buy a few pounds of pork to satisfy your hunger, why bother with other things.
But...
this chicken coop is pretty.
The beautiful chicken coop is surrounded by a circle of small fences, and there is a pocket-sized door in the middle. I really like it more and more.
Li Qinghua also has a special ability. She can identify the gender of chickens, usually 80% to 90%.
Qin Rou held Comrade Li Qinghua's hand, "Next time I will take you to buy chickens."
Of course, we can't just pick females, but pick a few more females. If we only keep the males and let others buy them, he will be devastated when he finds out that they are all males when they grow up.
Qin Rou took the two little kids to Li Qinghua's house to build a chicken coop.
They bought another batch of chickens, and Li Qinghua gave Qin Rou two little hens.
Political Commissar Liu Kai hadn't been home for two days. As soon as he got home, he heard strange noises. There was something in their yard. It was too late, so he didn't see it clearly. Later he realized it was chickens.
His young wife actually started raising chickens? ! !
If it were in the past, he might be relieved, but now, Liu Kai discovered a terrible thing. The quilt he and Li Qinghua used when they got married was gone.
He searched the whole house over and over again, but couldn't find the quilt. Finally, he even looked in the kitchen dust, but couldn't find any clues.
The quilt was clearly stored in their closet, but now it disappeared for no reason.
When Li Qinghua came here with the army, he tried hard to persuade her that the quilt was not needed here, but she insisted on taking it with her, saying that it was a testimony to their marriage and that they would use it for the rest of their lives.
Now she actually threw it away!
