Lu Yan didn't take it seriously at all, "She can plant whatever she wants."

"I also helped her dig the ground."

Lu Zongyi: "...you are at home, why don't you dig the ground for me?"

"Are you my wife?"

Lu Zongyi: "I am your old man."

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes." Anyway, the women and daughters-in-law of the Lu family are all the same.

"You will suffer from it in the future." Lu Zongyi hung up the phone. He had the most different feelings for this youngest son, thinking that he was the most like himself. Of course, the reason why he thought so was definitely not because this youngest son was born the most handsome.

Po Zai, fortunately, your father and I have left you the skills.

The steamed buns made by his youngest son are so delicious that he misses them a little.

Qin Rou had been depressed for two days before, but it wasn't like she didn't do anything. She was preparing for the test announcer, practicing tongue twisters every day, and even spent a lot of effort to stimulate the seeds. Qin Rou planned to grow lettuce and leeks on the terrace , coriander and onion, ginger and garlic.

Other tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, loofahs, snow peas, radishes, etc. are planted in the vegetable plot in the courtyard.

Growing vegetables is not an easy task. When Qin Rou bought seeds, she paid attention to choosing good seeds suitable for the climate here. She went to the seed station several times, asked about the temperature and light requirements, etc., and did it well one by one. Record.

There are many various agricultural planting scientific research experiment gardens here on Qiongzhou Island. Because of the special climate here, other places can only grow one season a year, but here can grow two or three seasons, so there are particularly many breeding experiment departments here.

There should also be an agricultural school. This is the most suitable place to open an agricultural school because there are many species here.

As a child of a flower grower, Qin Rou has always been curious about planting, and she is also curious about agricultural schools. Generally, the most popular searches in agricultural universities are nothing more than tragic events such as "graduation thesis" being eaten.

But she has also heard that Agricultural University has some advantages, let's talk about fruits, you can buy strange fruits grown by senior brothers and sisters at the gate of the school, and it is very cheap.

"Try to grow cocoa trees? Baoning Breeding Station has cocoa trees? What kind of tree is that? Is it a tree for making chocolate?" Qin Rou accidentally heard the staff here talk about cocoa trees when chatting with people at the seed station , could not help inquiring about it curiously.

"Yes, you also know chocolate?"

"I have eaten the happy chocolate produced in Shanghai."

Qin Rou made a note of the place. If there is a chance in the future, can I get some cocoa trees to plant.

Now, of course, we should plant her vegetables first.

The most important thing for Qin Rou is her lettuce planting. She wants to eat lettuce with oyster sauce and garlic. She wants to eat lettuce. She wants to eat lettuce. Under low seedling emergence rate, it is necessary to induce low temperature first.

Qin Rou soaked the seeds in clear water. Fortunately, she had a freezer at home. She filled a few bottles of water to freeze them into ice cubes, and made a crude box, similar to the one selling popsicles, and covered it with an old quilt gifted by Comrade Li Qinghua.

It is said that this quilt was insisted on by Huahua's mother when she joined the army. It was cold in winter in their hometown, and they could not do without this thick quilt. Sweetheart.

What used to be a cinnabar mole has become mosquito blood on the wall.

"You want to put a quilt on the ice, won't it melt?" Li Qinghua felt that Comrade Xiao Qin always did things unexpectedly.

"Well, because Comrade Ice Cube also needs to take insulation measures."

Put the soaked seeds in this small low-temperature refrigerator to germinate. 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, such as cucumbers and tomatoes. She had to carefully select a few high-quality seedlings with the best growth rate and cultivate them carefully, while others could only be strangled to death.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, under the only resources, only good seedlings can be selected and cultivated.

The plant world is just as cruel.

Not only did Qin Rou grow it herself, but she also took two little cubs to grow it. Instead of letting the two of them grow it, she let the two little guys manage two pots of leeks. Yes, under today's climate conditions, the survival rate is the highest. The one with the best gains will probably be the leek players.

How embarrassing it is to let the cubs grow small tomatoes and strawberries, in case they die, in case there is no fruit, in case... too many in case, but leeks are different.

A large pot of leeks, green people's eyes flustered, and the growth is gratifying. After harvesting, they can be mixed with seafood, fish, etc. to make dumplings, and experience the joy of harvest when eating dumplings.

Leek contestant, who else but me

In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the two cubs for planting, it is best to let them cultivate leeks first and become baby leeks.

Qin Rou thought about it, baby leeks or something doesn't sound very good, it always reminds people of the leeks being harvested in the stock market.

Don't be a leek, but be a leek cutter.

So they are raising leek babies.

"Okay, put your little labels in your leek pots, and this will be the leeks you two are responsible for from now on."

Qin Rou asked them to grow leeks, and also asked them to write a diary for growing leeks. Of course, these two little boys didn't know a few words, so they couldn't write them. The diary Qin Rou said was for them to draw.

Write down the growth process of the little leeks you raised.

In addition to assigning them the task of raising leeks, Qin Rou also has a glorious task of managing the chicken coop for the two brats.

Qin Rou got a lot of blue bricks from the orderly brother in the family yard, and built a beautiful little chicken coop in their yard with the two cubs and Li Qinghua's mother and son.

Is it a simple small house with a square at the bottom and a triangle at the top, or a row of houses with two bedrooms connected inside.

The small grass nest that Qin Rou built is also placed inside.

"The chicken coop I built!" Xiaopangdun was a little unsatisfied.

Chen Jingyi's eyes also sparkled.

"It's so beautiful! Mom, I also want to raise chickens." Liu Yue said to his mother, all the friends have chickens, and he can't live without chickens.

Li Qinghua was also slightly tempted. She didn't know why, but she was very tempted.

Logically speaking, growing vegetables, chickens, ducks, and pigs is what she has been used to since she was a child. She finally got rid of this painful work and came to Qiongzhou Island. Wouldn't it be nice to be idle? Why do you have to find something to do.

Let’s not talk about raising chickens, but raising pigs is the most flavorful. Living in such a beautiful small house now, Li Qinghua really never thought about raising these things. She can keep the jackfruit tree because she thinks it is fragrant. The yard smells good.

There is no shortage of meat here, fish meat, shrimp meat and crab meat can be eaten after steaming and boiling, and there are some meat tickets every month. Just buy a few catties of pork to satisfy your cravings, so why waste other efforts.

but…

This chicken coop is pretty nice.

The beautiful little chicken house is surrounded by a small fence, and there is a small pocket door in the middle. I really like it more and more.

Li Qinghua also has a special ability. She can identify the male and female chickens, and she can usually match up to eighty-nine.

Qin Rou held Comrade Li Qinghua's hand, "I'll take you to buy chickens next time."

Of course, you can’t pick all the females, but choose a few more females. If you only keep the males and let others buy them back, after he grows up and finds that they are all males, he will probably collapse. .

Qin Rou took the two cubs to Li Qinghua's house to happily build a chicken coop.

Went to buy another batch of chickens, Li Qinghua gave Qin Rou two pullets.

Liu Kai, Commissar Liu, hasn't been home for two days. As soon as he got home, he heard strange noises. There was something new in their yard. It was too late, so he didn't see it clearly. Later, he realized it was a chicken. .

His little daughter-in-law actually started raising chickens? ! !

If it was in the past, he might be relieved, but now, Liu Kai discovered a terrible thing, when he and Li Qinghua got married, the quilt was not there.

He searched the whole house over and over again, but he couldn't find the quilt. In the end, he even searched for the ashes in the kitchen, but he couldn't find any clues.

Obviously this quilt was originally kept 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 this quilt was not needed here, but she had to bring it anyway, and said that it was a testimony of their marriage, that the two of them would cover it for the rest of their lives.

Now she threw it away!
