After the New Year, the temperature gradually increased.
When Qin Rou got up to water in the morning, she found that there were a few holes in her yard for no reason.
"You two bastards, you dug up mother's radishes again?!!!!" Qin Rou really laughed angrily, and wanted to play carrot defense battle with them. These two little villains like to pull out mother's radishes, as if Rabbits are possessed, but they don't like carrots.
Cubs!
The two cubs were particularly guilty, standing in front of their mother, the two brothers held hands, sneaking glances at their mother from time to time.
Little Jiaozi scratched her brother's palm, begging her brother to come forward and find a way.
Zhou Zhou said: "I want to dig Doudou for my mother."
Dumpling followed: "Dig Doudou..."
Qin Rou: "..."
The peas they said were potatoes, and they also grew in the soil. Qin Rou took advantage of the winter to plant some radishes and potatoes on the terrace and in the yard in batches. The radishes and potatoes here are the same as A tomato that is happily bearing fruit in the yard is different and needs to be cared for.
The temperature here from November to February, March and April is relatively suitable for planting potatoes and radishes.
Because carrots and potatoes are more suitable for planting when the temperature is cool, and they can be planted stubbornly at other times, even if they are more tossing, tossing may not necessarily produce a result.
Qin Rou has grown some weird radishes. Anyway, where the radishes are grown, it is easier to encounter Waterloo. How strange are the radishes grown
It's like the kind of radish with lush green leaves, and when you dig it out, the radish underneath is only as big as a human finger. In addition, there are some radishes with strange and enchanting postures, especially white radishes, whose posture is very coquettish.
It can turn into a bumpy ginseng doll, and two small white radishes can be entangled together, one growing horizontally and the other vertically. When dug out, it becomes a human-shaped radish with "legs crossed".
No wonder it is said that radish is better than ginseng? Maybe there is a little aura on him.
The carrots grown here are either completely waterloo, a small one, or they can grow into very sweet carrots, which taste good and are beautiful in color, but they are a little bit smaller, which is also suitable for the whole family to eat .
Qin Rou quite likes to eat carrots, and she often grows some carrots, and slowly, she also has some experience in growing them.
She also tried to grow potatoes, also known as "Doudou" in Zhouzhou and Jiaozikou.
Potatoes are very delicious food, fried potato shreds, sweet and sour potato shreds, fried potato chips, mashed potatoes... Compared with the annoying radishes, potatoes are super favorite food for children, but there are really few on the island. food.
The climate here in Qiongzhou Island makes it difficult to grow large potatoes. Potatoes are not resistant to high temperatures, and the yield is not high. The local islanders have never seen this stuff before, and some people who come from the north plant a little bit.
For example, Qin Rou's older sister, Qin Mian, loves potatoes more. She tried to grow a lot last winter. Qin Rou will also grow a little potato to develop a recipe for the children.
The potatoes here are relatively less delicious than the large potatoes grown in other alpine regions, and the production of potatoes in the north is really high. In this era, eating sweet potatoes in the south is a psychological shadow, sweet potato rice or something, the north may be a meal A meal of shredded potatoes can also give a psychological shadow.
Brother-in-law Chen Mian and his son don't like potatoes very much.
When you come to the island, you don’t have to eat sweet potato rice. Rice can be grown three times a year on Qiongzhou Island, and three crops can be grown a year. Of course, it doesn’t have to be three seasons. Maybe the third season will Plant some other crops, and now gradually promote high-yield hybrid rice, and the research and planting of hybrid rice is also carried out on the island.
In fact, fast-maturing rice with high yield, for example, if you plant three seasons a year, the taste is definitely not good. It's good to eat.
In the past, Qin Rou was in Guangdong Province, and Guangdong and Guangxi mainly planted two crops of rice, divided into early rice and late rice. The early rice was harvested during the summer vacation. The harvest season was also called double grabbing in the countryside. My classmates went back to their hometown during the summer vacation to help out with double-robbers, and when they returned to school in September, they all became villains.
In this era, there are also holidays, called double-grabbing holidays, which are specially designed for people to go back to help their families to do double-grabbing.
Because two or three seasons of rice can be planted, the rice yield here is relatively high in a year. Even in the 1960s and 1970s, some rural areas could still eat white rice. Of course, it is the fields. Several villages with relatively good water and heat conditions can have exclusive advantages.
There is a big gap between villages. Although it is in the same county, in different towns and villages, if the village has fewer people, more fields, more water and hot conditions, people in the village can eat white rice immediately, while In some villages, where there are many people and few fields, and the water conservancy conditions are not good, they have to eat sweet potato rice mixed with sweet potatoes.
Now that hybrid rice is being promoted, it won’t take many years for everyone to eat white rice. Of course, although the original hybrid rice was high-yielding, its taste was relatively ordinary.
Just like the comparison between early rice and late rice, late rice is more delicious. When Qin Rou cooks claypot rice, she uses better late rice.
The white rice at this time is not as fine as the later generations. Many husks are still stuck to the rice grains. In a certain sense, it can be said to be a relatively healthy "coarse grain".
Qin Rou stared at the two cubs and said, "Let's dig some peas later,"
"You go to kindergarten. I'm going to Uncle Zhang's house next door to ask for some radishes. We still eat radishes today, stir-fried radishes."
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling: "..."
I pulled out my own radishes, as well as other radishes, so disgusting.
Why does Uncle Zhang next door still grow radishes
The radish seedlings are all given by their mother...
Qin Rou smiled triumphantly at the corner of her mouth, hehe, I didn't expect that, your mother gave all the radish seedlings to your Uncle Zhang to plant now, and their radishes are really juicy, so it doesn't matter if you ask for a few.
"Hey..."
The two cubs, Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi, glanced at each other. Their most simple wish at this time was to go to Uncle Zhang's house next door to pull radishes.
"Okay, stop talking, go dig peas with mom."
Qin Rou took her two children to dig Doudou. The mother and son dug out a dozen potatoes. The potatoes they dug out were super small, and the larger potatoes were about half the size of a fist.
Pocket little potatoes, how many meals can I barely eat?
If the big ones are cooking, but the small ones can only be washed and eaten directly steamed, or made into braised potatoes.
After digging the potatoes, I went to feed the chickens and collect eggs. The big hens in the family gave three eggs today, and it happened that the three mothers and sons would each eat one tomorrow.
"Okay, let's go to the kindergarten and wait to go home to eat radishes." Qin Rou wiped the hands and feet of the two cubs. Compared with Brother Xixi and Brother Jing Yi, these two children are really disobedient.
Don't be a leek baby, nor a carrot baby.
They want to be—babies pulling carrots.
Little Dumpling said coquettishly, "Mom kiss."
"Mom wants to eat radishes too." Qin Rou kissed him with a smile, and looked aside after kissing, "Brother Zhou Zhou, will you kiss me?"
"Kiss."
After sending the child to the kindergarten, Qin Rou went to sow the seeds again, trying to fill in the radish seedlings. After filling up, she went to knock on the door of the next door, and it happened that Teacher Huang was at home.
Qin Rou said that she wanted to exchange potatoes and tomatoes for some radishes.
"Change it, Xiao Qin, take more." Huang Xinying waved her hand very generously, and went to the house to bring a lot of radishes to Qin Rou, and even dug some fresh ones.
Really, her old Zhang is good at growing all kinds of radishes and bitter gourds. Most of the radish seedlings are presented by Comrade Xiao Qin next door.
Rather than growing bitter gourds, Mr. Huang hopes to grow radishes in Zhangchengbei, whether they are carrots or white radishes.
No matter what kind of radish is, it is better than bitter gourd. Although adults are not picky eaters, Teacher Huang really doesn't like bitter gourd! !
Unless it is made into bitter gourd stuffed meat, she likes to eat the meat in bitter gourd stuffed meat! !
"Xiao Qin, why don't your two children like carrots?" Teacher Huang couldn't help asking.
Qin Rou shook her head: "I don't know, Lu Yan and I both like carrots."
Huang Xinying sighed: "My son Dundun likes to eat radishes very much, and I don't know who he looks like."
In fact, this is not a big deal, the point is, after their family Dundun ate the radish, there were a lot of farts, and it still stinks.
- Mom is sad.
Qin Rou: "..."
"I'm now looking forward to sending him to kindergarten sooner."
Huang Xinying looked at her with hopeful eyes: "Xiao Qin, do you want bitter gourd?"
Qin Rou: "... I want it."
It seems that I am sorry for Mr. Huang if I change the radish instead of bitter gourd.
But Teacher Huang pushed her nose on her face and put a lot of bitter gourd on her...
