After returning home, Xu Yin took a hoe from the system warehouse and dug the soil in the yard.
Because it was an old building built in the late 1980s, the ground in the courtyard was not paved with tiles, and the walkway leading to the courtyard door was only embedded with a few pebbles, which made it easier for her to grow vegetables.
She thought that since she was going to move the farm to the campus, she had to at least let people know that she could grow vegetables. Otherwise, like Ms. Xu, who has deep doubts about whether she can grow vegetables and whether the vegetables she grows can be eaten, how can she carry out this task?
So she started growing vegetables at home, and planted fresh and delicious vegetables all over the yard and walls. She became known as a "Little Farming Expert". After school started, she went to plant vegetables on campus. No one doubted her ability, right?
The key is - is there a place on campus for her to grow vegetables?
Every time I think about this, I get a headache.
This task seems easy, but it is really not easy to operate.
School is a place for teaching and educating people. Who will enclose the land for you to grow vegetables? Although it is a vocational high school, and it is the third-rate vocational high school with the lowest admission score in the city, it does not offer a major in planting.
Brain pain! No small world task is easy.
System, come out! We must chat!
The dog system remains silent as always.
Xu Yin turned over the soil and cleared away the weeds and small stones. Worried that the soil was not fertile enough, she mixed some Mimi Taoyuanxing soil into it. Then, when the weather was cooler in the morning, she watered the soil with water mixed with spiritual dew. After watering, sow vegetable seeds.
There are several vegetables that need to be planted against the wall, including loofah, bitter gourd, and long cowpeas. There are endless cowpeas to eat. You can soak the pickled beans and dry them in the sun when you are old.
My mother sells cucumbers and tomatoes wholesale every day. I spray them with some spiritual dew mist and the taste is quite good, so I won’t plant them anymore, but I have planted a few small colorful tomatoes, which can be used as vegetables in salads or as fruits.
In the two ridges of land slightly away from the courtyard wall, pumpkins and potatoes are planted in one ridge, and eggplants and edamame are planted in the other ridge.
The pumpkins used are the best varieties of Jinlun pumpkins grown in the 1970s. The young pumpkins taste like sweet chestnuts, pink and glutinous; the old pumpkins are super sweet when simmered in soup and desserts without adding sugar; they are ground into powder to make pumpkin cakes. , pumpkin steamed buns are also particularly fragrant.
The potatoes chosen are Jiaohe small potatoes, which are pink, glutinous and fragrant. They taste great when stewed or roasted.
Edamame is grown in this season. If you plant it now, you will be able to eat it at the end of August or early September. You will not be able to eat all the fresh edamame. You can also grow old edamame to be dried in the sun and used to grind soy milk in winter.
Eggplant is one of Xu Yin's favorite vegetables, and there are many ways to make it: steam it and add some chopped green onion and drizzle it with sesame oil, which is very appetizing in summer; stir-fry eggplant with sauce and three delicacies, which are quick and easy to eat; there are also eggplant dumplings, eggplant cakes, Fried eggplant box... In short, one eggplant can make several dishes.
Suck it... I suddenly want to eat eggplant.
But today, Ms. Xu didn't buy any eggplants, so Xu Yin looked through the system warehouse and found a few small worlds. There was everything in the system warehouse, including several varieties of eggplants alone.
She took a few thin vine eggplants, which are suitable for steaming and eating with oil.
I also took a round eggplant, two potatoes, and a green pepper, planning to make some local delicacies.
Let’s have an eggplant feast at noon!
After thinking about the dishes for lunch, Xu Yin continued to squat in the ground, making use of the soil in every corner, and planting some small onions, leeks, and peppers that did not take up much space.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Xu Yin? Is Xu Yin at home?"
Xu Yin got up, washed her hands with the faucet in the yard, and walked to open the door.
"Xu Yin, I'm here to play with you!" Lu Yunran held a few books under her arm and followed Xu Yin into the house, "You welcome me, right?"
"..." You have said everything, what else can I say?
"My mother has been very kind to me in the past two days. She said that I have worked hard for three years in junior high school. It would be nice to give me a few days off before I go to high school. But she doesn't trust me to go elsewhere. You are the only one she agrees to. I come."
Xu Yin was quite speechless: "Relax and you brought a book?"
"Hey, I'm used to it!"
"..."
"Xu Yin, what are you doing at home?"
"Grow vegetables."
"..." Lu Yunran thought she heard wrongly, "What did you say you were doing?"
Xu Yin pointed to the ridged yard: "I planted some vegetables."
"You are so capable! You can actually grow vegetables." Lu Yunran ran to the yard excitedly and looked around curiously, but she didn't see anything now. "You just planted it today? How long will it take before you can eat it?"
"It will probably take more than a month at the earliest."
She mixed Taoyuan star soil and poured water containing spiritual dew, which could advance the process a lot, but it wouldn't be too outrageous.
"What did you plant? Are there any tomatoes?"
Lu Yunran's favorite vegetable is tomatoes, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato salad, and even pickled fish must be tomato-flavored.
“The big tomatoes were not planted, but a few small tomatoes were planted.”
Xu Yin said, went into the house and took out two large tomatoes, washed them in front of the faucet, and handed one to Lu Yunran.
"The big tomatoes my mom sells are quite delicious, but I won't grow them myself."
Lu Yunran hugged the tomato and took a bite, her eyes lit up: "Well...this tomato is really delicious!"
She took a sip of the juice and swallowed it with satisfaction before saying: "My mother also said that there are no good vegetables in the farmer's market. She always buys them in the supermarket, but I think the tomatoes she buys in the supermarket are not as delicious as this one. Several Every time I buy it, the skin looks red and the inside is still raw, or it tastes tasteless. My dad said that the melons sold in the market now are not sweet, the vegetables are not fragrant, and the fruits are tasteless. I want to eat them like they used to. Unless you go to the countryside to grow your own fruits and vegetables with a strong flavor. But the tomatoes you sell, Xu Yin, are really delicious! Can I ask how many kilograms you buy?"
"Sure! It was originally for sale."
Just like that, when Lu Yunran left, she took away four large tomatoes, two cucumbers, a handful of lettuce, and a pound of water spinach.
She went home happily and said that her mother would make it for lunch.
Xu Yin: "..."
What on earth did you come for?
"Hey wait—you left your book!"
"It's okay! I'll come and play with you tomorrow!"
Xu Yin: "..."
When Lu Yunran got home, she brought the vegetables to Mother Lu.
"Mom, I bought some vegetables at Xu Yin's house. The tomatoes her mother sold were very delicious. I ate one raw at her house. It was very similar to the old tomatoes my father said."
Seeing that her daughter came back on time, Mother Lu did not say anything, but also came back with a bag of vegetables. She looked much more cheerful when she saw the people. Her heart dropped back after hanging for a while, and she felt more and more that it was the right decision to allow her daughter to go play with Xu Yin. .
She has been introspecting for the past two days, especially after hearing what the uncle across the building said about the situation that day. She was so scared that she didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights, fearing that her daughter's depression would not be relieved and she would think of something to do on the roof of the building. Stupid thing.
So in the past two days, Mother Lu didn't even go to class. She took all the remaining annual leave this year and stayed at home with her daughter, but she didn't dare to urge her to study.
Compared with "living", 985, 211, and world-famous schools seem to be unimportant.
