Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 147 Sesame leaves

It’s the beginning of autumn, tomatoes and cucumbers have stopped growing, and beans are the last crop. It’s time to dig out the seedlings early, loosen the soil, and plant radish and cabbage. You can also sprinkle some coriander on the ground at the base of the wall.

Eggplants and peppers can still grow longer, so wait until late autumn to deal with them, then plant some winter spinach.

 The winter days in the north are long and nothing grows in winter. Although you can get through the winter with just some pickles, you still need the necessary vitamins.

Sumulan attaches great importance to growing vegetables and is ready to tidy up the vegetable plot.

Fortunately, when Bai Shitang built his own house, the yard was quite large and there was a bit of open space at the door. All these things added up to two or three points of land. If they were all used, it would be enough for their family of five. of.

Because the place where vegetables can be grown is not too small, Su Mulan and four radish heads worked hard for two days before plowing the land again and preparing to plant radishes and cabbage.

but…

 There are no seeds.

The original owner was lazy at home and left all the work at home and in the fields to the children. The children were sensible and diligent and did many things well, so the original owner became less and less worried. In the spring, he did not leave any vegetables specially. seed.

Su Mulan thought for a while, took some rice cookers at home, scooped up a scoop of popcorn, and went next door to look for Mr. Liu.

She remembered what Mr. Liu had said a few days ago, saying that he had a lot of vegetable seeds left at home. If he could use them, he could just go find them and take them from her.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Mrs. Liu's house, I happened to see Mrs. Liu holding a bamboo basket and seemed to be walking out.

 “Tiger Girl is going out?”

"I was going out, but I just wanted to find you, and by chance you came." Mrs. Liu grinned and shook the bamboo basket on her arm, "I picked a lot of sesame leaves in the past two days. I was thinking of you. I don’t have any at home, so I’m going to give you a basket.”

  Sesame leaves are boiled and dried and become dried vegetables. When it is time to eat, you can boil them with water, cook noodles, and make steamed buns, which are all very delicious.

Because it is a completely sun-dried vegetable, it is very easy to store. As long as there is no water, it can be stored for the next year. It is one of the most important vegetables for farmers during the long winter to wait until the green leafy vegetables come out next spring.

Ms. Liu guessed that she saw that Su Mulan's family didn't grow sesame seeds, so she wanted to give him a basket of sesame seeds. They were delicious in winter.

Su Mulan's heart suddenly warmed up, "Thank you so much, Hu Ziniang. I was just cleaning the vegetable field, wondering if there would be enough vegetables to eat in the winter, but you happened to be thinking about this."

“But I still need to trouble Hu Ziniang with something. The vegetable patch at home has just been plowed, and I wanted to plant some radishes and cabbages, but I remembered that I forgot to save the seeds this year, so I wanted to bring some seeds back to you.”

"Hey, what else do I have to do? I just want some vegetable seeds. There are a lot of them at home." Mrs. Liu handed the bamboo basket to Su Mulan, "Sister-in-law Su, take it first, and I'll get you some vegetable seeds." ”

As Mrs. Liu spoke, she turned around and entered the house. After a while, she came back with three oil paper packets in her hands, "These are cabbage seeds, and these are from radish. The radish is green radish. It is easy to grow and has a lot of moisture. In winter, It doesn’t have bran when you eat it. It’s from mustard greens. Since you are the ones who plant them, just plant some of them and dry some mustard shreds. You can still eat them in the spring.”

“In the spring, everything is sprouting, but they can’t be gathered up for a while. I can still hold a handful of mustard shreds, which will save me from getting tired of eating spinach.”
