The family's income gradually increased, and Li Xin was also very happy.

The watermelons sold in the several acres of land at home are selling well. Shopkeeper Sun helped introduce some buyers, and Mrs. Zheng also helped promote the county town. The sales of watermelons are not worrying. The watermelons grown in Li Xin's family are not only big in size, but also very popular in the county.

It makes people like it just by looking at it, and it is also very sweet. Anyone who has tasted it will praise it.

Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and watermelons are not expensive to sell. Anyone with a little extra money will buy a few and go back to try them. It is not that there are rich people in the town, and here

No one grows watermelons, and the Li Xin family buys a lot of watermelons in the town alone. There are even more wealthy families in the county, and there are many families the Zheng family is familiar with. As soon as Mrs. Zheng spreads the word, many families will

Come to Osmanthus Village to buy watermelon.

On Zhuangzi, cherry tomatoes have also matured in batches. They look good and taste good. There are still a lot of people coming to buy them. I also bought a lot of them at Pinxiang Pavilion.

It would also be nice to make a seasonal fruit plate. The chili peppers are naturally supplied to Pinxiang Pavilion, so there is no need to find another buyer, and Li Xin doesn't need to be busy at all.

Shopkeeper Sun also prepared a lot, and had people rush to deliver it to the capital. This was also Mrs. Sun's order, and she asked shopkeeper Sun to send a copy of everything produced by Li Xin's family to the capital. Firstly, it was for a taste, and secondly,

Come here, I really want to know how many new things Li Xin has in his hands.

It was the hot March, and the potatoes planted in the several acres of Zhuangzi were about to be harvested. Taking advantage of the few ten-day holidays of the Wenbo, Li Xin took a group of children to Zhuangzi.

It was a busy time on the farm, and many people were busy. Some were picking various ripe vegetables, and some were tending the crops in the fields. They were all very busy. Even Wang Fu and his wife were very busy.

He is busy, checking everywhere, sometimes guiding other people in their work, and often following others to the fields.

At this time, the scenery on Zhuangzi is also very beautiful. At first glance, there are green scenes everywhere, and the green is pleasant. Large tracts of peppers and tomatoes are already ripe, and they look very beautiful and big.

The red tomatoes are hanging like red lanterns. And the beautiful large bell peppers of various colors are like lanterns of various colors, and they are bright and dazzling. Even ordinary red peppers, there are trees full of green and red peppers.

It looks really gratifying.

The sweet potato vines are also growing very well, with large green swaths, so fresh and tender, and they really look very appetizing.

Walking and watching all the way, the children were very happy. They ran around and sometimes went into the fields. Seeing the red cherry tomatoes and tomatoes, Wen Hao would take a few children to pick them.

eat.

"It's delicious." Yueting also picked a lot of cherry tomatoes and carried them in her clothes. She even ran to Li Xin and let him eat them.

"Little greedy cat, your face is all stained." Li Xin took a handkerchief and wiped the cherry tomatoes on Yueting's face. After wiping Yueting's face clean, she took a cherry tomato.

I wiped it and threw it into my mouth. With a slight bite, the sweet taste of cherry tomatoes spread in my mouth, which was very delicious.

It's really a rare delicious food.

It took a while for the children to all come out of the field. Everyone picked a lot of cherry tomatoes and tomatoes and ate them happily.

"It's so fun to go to Zhuangzi. We're going to come again next time during the holiday break. Isn't it okay, eldest sister?" Wen Hao looked at Li Xin with a flattering look on his face, fearing that Li Xin would reject him.

"As long as you study hard in the academy and listen carefully to your teacher, I will bring you here." Li Xin smiled and rubbed Wen Hao's head.

"We will definitely study hard and listen to Mr. Zhou's words." Seeing that Li Xin agreed, Wen Hao ran away to play again with a smile.

Not long after, we arrived at the field where potatoes were planted. There were not many potatoes planted, so we only planted six acres of land. In such a big farm, it was really just a small piece of land. Potato flowers

It has already bloomed, and at this time, there are occasionally a few small green round fruits growing on the potatoes.

Potatoes will absorb a lot of nutrients when they bloom and bear fruit. Therefore, when planting potatoes, Li Xin had already told Wang Fu and his wife that when the potatoes were about to bloom, they would pick the potato flowers. So at this time,

There are not many green fruits, just a few bunches.

"I want to eat potatoes." Yueting yelled as she looked at the acres of potatoes. Her mouth watered. Potatoes are so delicious! But they haven't eaten them many times at home. Last year, the family harvested a lot.

Of the potatoes, a lot of them were sold by my eldest sister, and not much was left at home. My eldest sister also said that I would keep them for sowing, but I was always reluctant to take them out to eat.

"Little greedy cat, I'll let you eat as much as you want later." Li Xin poked Yueting's forehead with his finger. Then he stood in the potato field. Large areas of potato seedlings had already fallen to the ground, but

They are still green and not very withered. Even if the potatoes have not withered yet, the potatoes are still about to be harvested. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the potatoes buried in the ground will no longer grow.

It was decided to harvest potatoes today. Wang Fu and his wife had already been waiting here with their people and all the necessary tools were ready. Li Xin went to the field first, took a sickle, cut off the potato seedlings, and left them on the roots.

A small section, looking at the remaining section of potato seedling, you can probably estimate where the potato knot is underground.

After cutting a small area of ​​potato seedlings, Li Xin stopped first, took a hoe and carefully dug out the potatoes from the soil. This process must be done very carefully, and the location of the potatoes must be accurately estimated, otherwise, it is very likely that

Use a hoe to dig potatoes into several pieces. Damaged potatoes are not only unsightly, they cannot be stored well.

Li Xin demonstrated how to dig potatoes while explaining to the people watching around him. When Li Xin dug out half the basket of potatoes, he stopped and asked others to slowly learn to dig. Some people used sickles first.

After cutting the potato seedlings, some people were digging at the back, while others were picking up the potatoes at the back, putting them in baskets and baskets for easy transportation.

Wen Hao and his children also looked at the fun and followed behind to pick up potatoes. They also used a small shovel to rummage in the soil behind to see if any potatoes had been left in the soil.

The job of digging potatoes is not difficult to learn. It just depends on whether you have the patience. After all, you have to be careful. Digging out potatoes bit by bit is not a short process. It requires patience. As long as you don’t have it,

Be patient. If you want to dig the potatoes quickly, you are likely to damage the potatoes. The people on the farm are all used to good farming methods, so they naturally learn it very quickly. At first, they were not used to it.

After a while, everything was dug out in good shape.

Seeing the good yield of potatoes, everyone in the village was very happy. For farmers, nothing is happier than a high yield in the field.
