Chapter 33 “Stickman”-like Purslane

"Grandpa, we understand."

Next, Grandpa Xie began to divide the work.

First, on the rice field side, you must first select a piece of land to raise seedlings.

Second, the other dozen acres of land need to be weeded and plowed as soon as possible. It is too late to just rely on the labor of a few people from the Xie family, so we will hire people to use machines tomorrow, which will be more efficient.

Third, since you want to raise fish in rice fields, the fields must be well planned, ditches must be dug, field ridges must be raised, and drainage and irrigation must be paid attention to, etc.

Since Xie Ning is pregnant and cannot work too hard, Xie Ning is only responsible for live broadcasting picking and selling vegetables. The other tasks are divided among the rest of the Xie family. Comrade Xie is responsible for hiring people to find machines to weed and plow the ground tomorrow.

Grandpa Xie is responsible for raising seedlings, and brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Qian are responsible for planting mulberry seedlings on the hilltop first, and then work on the rice fields. Zhang Yuqin is still responsible for the express delivery and packaging at home.

"...Things have been arranged this way for now, do you understand?"

"Understood."

The Xie family sat together and after listening to the plan, they felt that the future seemed to be full of endless motivation and hope.

-

The morning sunshine dispersed the morning fog and started a new day. Today was a busy day for the Xie family.

After helping to pick vegetables, the two brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Qian went to the hilltop not far away with their hoes to prepare for the upcoming planting of mulberry saplings.

After Comrade Lao Xie carried several baskets of vegetables to a small shop in the town, he left to find people and machines to hire people to weed and plow the ground. Today, only Xie Ning was left in the small vegetable shop, but the people buying vegetables were still there.

Quite often, Xie Ning was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water.

It wasn't until they were all sold out that I breathed a sigh of relief. The 200 kilograms hung in the live broadcast room were gone as soon as they were hung up, just like yesterday. Many people were left waiting for food, hoping that she would bring more.

After buying groceries, Xie Ning closed the store and clamped his phone to the front of the electric car. "Our family plans to plant rice and mulberry saplings. I will show you the progress later."

The electric car drove slowly, and the camera of the mobile phone captured the surrounding situation.

Noisy, full of human fireworks, pedestrians, shops, a girl wearing a mask, her eyes are clean and bright, the sun shines on her body, covering her with a thin layer of light, soft and warm, the wind gently blows her hair, April

Spring is gentle and beautiful.

At this moment, the live broadcast room with more than 8,000 people also fell silent at this moment, enjoying the tranquility of this moment, as if they were in a beautiful and romantic spring, forgetting all their worries.

Until the electric car stops.

Xie Ning took her cell phone and entered the vegetable field.

"This is the Chinese cabbage that we usually pick. You should be familiar with it. We only planted half an acre of it before, and there really isn't much left. It is estimated that they will all be picked tomorrow. If you want to buy more, you can only wait a month.

It’s over.”

I estimate that there are only a few hundred kilograms of cabbage left in the vegetable field. There are 200 kilograms sold in the store and online, and they should all be cleared out tomorrow.

As soon as these words came out, the barrage immediately exploded.

[No, anchor, although I have only been eating your cabbage for a few days, I am already used to it. Other vegetables are tasteless to me. If I can’t buy them, what will I do if I starve to death this month? 】

[I’m going to grab more tomorrow. My husband and baby love to eat it. I didn’t expect that one day, I would actually want to stock up on vegetables.]

[Am I the only one who is the most pitiful? Every day I see you saying how delicious the cabbage is, but you can’t get even half a pound of it. I don’t care, you pity me tomorrow, don’t fight with me, just let me grab some to try.

Taste it.]

[I have never grabbed it...]

Xie Ning: ...Okay, she also wants to sell more, but unfortunately there is really not enough food now.

"By the way, this is purslane, but it's not mature yet." The purslane has grown, lush and vigorous. Xie Ning glanced at it inadvertently and felt that this purslane was a bit strange.

.

Purple rhizomes sprout out one by one, with green leaves on them, which is...

It looks like a stick figure with many arms and legs. It has a purple body and green hands and feet. How strange it is. There are many "stick figures" with many arms and legs on a purslane plant.

”.

Xie Ning suddenly remembered that the seeds of purslane had such strange shapes.

Hey, she should have thought of it when she saw the purslane seeds.

I just don’t know if other seeds will be so weird in the future.

What Xie Ning didn't expect at this time was that the seeds and agricultural products produced by the pastoral system were only more bizarre, not the most bizarre. Some of the wonders were beyond her imagination and would even make her doubt the world.

Xie Ning put aside the strange thoughts in his mind and looked at the barrage again. Sure enough, he was also talking about the strange shape of the purslane.

"In just over a month, the purslane will be ready for picking."

After leaving the vegetable field, Xie Ning continued walking not far away with his mobile phone, and soon heard the sound of a machine.

Not far away, Comrade Xie stood on the edge of the field and was directing something. In the field, there were machines that were constantly running, weeding and plowing the ground.

"Ning Ning, you are back after selling the vegetables."

"Yes, Dad, we have opened so many fields."

"Yes, the machine is fast. Just one machine costs hundreds of dollars a day. It's noisy here and it's not good for you. Don't come to my place. Go to your grandpa's place."

"Okay." Xie Ning knew that she was probably pregnant, and her father was afraid that the machine would disturb her and be bad for her.

Xie Ning walked further and pointed the camera at the fields and machines, "This is the field where rice will be planted next. By the way, we plan to try to raise fish in rice fields."

Walking further, Xie Ning saw his grandfather, wearing water shoes and holding a wooden rake, leveling the land. The land under his feet was full of water and mud. It was hard to imagine that this was a field that was previously full of weeds.

"grandfather."

"Hey, Ning Ning is back."

"Grandpa, are you tired? How about I help you?"

"No, no, please don't come down. Don't get your shoes dirty. I'll be fine soon. 15 acres of land, half an acre of land, is enough to raise seedlings."

Last night, Grandpa Xie started to raise seedlings, soaking the seeds in warm water. This process takes a day.

"What we plan to plant is purple rice. The seeds are currently in the soaking stage. This process takes a day. After one day, the seeds can be fished out, put into mesh bags, and placed in a cool place for two or three days, waiting for them to germinate.

When the time comes, they can be sown in ditches and leveled ground to raise seedlings." Xie Ning said to the camera.

[Purple rice, little sister, purple rice is a rare and precious variety. It is difficult to cultivate and very successful in planting. That’s why purple rice is so expensive and rare. 】

[Yes, it is necessary to raise fish in rice fields. It is not easy to raise fish in rice fields, and the requirements for the field environment are also relatively stringent. If one thing is not good, the seedlings will probably die, and the fish will also die, so ladies, you should be careful.]

Many fans have expressed concerns about Xie Ning's choice of purple rice fields to raise fish, because they all know that it is also Xie Ning's first time trying to grow fish.
