Chapter 44 Overwintering Spinach, Going to the Market, Big Red Bean Buns
Overwintering spinach, as the name suggests, is spinach sown in winter.
The characteristics of seed selection should be those with strong cold resistance, good quality and great potential for increasing yield.
Generally sown in mid-October to early November, the soil should be leeward to the sun, and the soil should be loose and fertile. Rapeseeds are soaked in warm water at 20°C for 12 hours before they can be sown.
During the growing period of vegetable seedlings, weeding and weeding, freezing water, etc. are also required.
When father Li Jianping and mother Dong explained to Li Tian seriously, Li Tian's head was big. He didn't expect that simply planting spinach would be so troublesome.
Frozen water is to pour the frozen water in time before the winter freezes. The function is to prevent drought in spring, stabilize the ground temperature, enhance the cold resistance of spinach, and is conducive to safe wintering.
And when everything was almost ready, Li Tian had to choose the method of sowing.
One of the simplest is called sowing, which is the random sprinkling of seeds in the field.
One is called drilling, in which the seeds are sown in strips.
One is called on-demand, which is not the meaning of ordering songs, and is like growing Chinese cabbage, one by one.
After learning about it, Li Tian couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that being a small farmer is not easy."
…
Seeing that Li Tian looked frightened, Li Jianping comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, don't we still have us? Since you really plan to grow spinach, we will help you. Your father doesn't have anything else to grow vegetables. Still very experienced.”
Having said that, Li Jianping was afraid that his son would be as decadent as before, so he personally rode the battery car to the market to buy rapeseed.
"Dad! I'll be with you!" Li Tian felt that this was his system task. Although he had to get help from his father, he couldn't wait, he had to do something.
"Okay!" Dad Li Jianping hesitated and agreed.
Mother Dong told them to ride slowly.
…
The market is different from the small town. The market is a road in the middle of several small villages. There are stalls set up by the villagers on both sides. I remember when Li Tian was a child, it was very lively here.
Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is very exciting to go to the market at that time, because the crowd is full of people, selling firecrackers, door paintings, clothes, candy, small toys, vegetables, fish and meat, and so on.
However, this time, Li Tian came over in his father's electric car and found that the place had become extremely withered. Although today is not the day to go to the market, the old and desolate feeling still blows.
"Speaking of which, you haven't been to the old market, Li Tian, for many years... Remember, you came to the market with your classmates when you were young."
If Dad didn't say it, Li Tian almost forgot.
Recalling the past of childhood, things are right and wrong, all kinds of feelings fill my chest for a while.
Because the mud roads in the past have now been built into cement roads. Although the roads in the countryside are still not very wide, every household has battery cars, and even better vans and private cars.
Therefore, nowadays people don't go to the market anymore, and they go to the town to buy everything they want to buy.
…
The boss who sells rapeseed is an old man with deep wrinkles and a hunchback. Li Tian still vaguely knows him.
However, from his unfamiliar old eyes, Li Tian found that he no longer knew Li Tian...
When he came back, Li Tian sat in the back of the battery car and asked, "Didn't that boss make breakfast before?" Li Tian remembered because his primary school at that time was in front of the market, and he often bought two from the old man's place. Red bean buns, in my memory, the red bean buns are big, white, sweet, and very delicious.
Compared with vegetable buns and meat buns, he especially liked the big red bean buns.
Dad Li Jianping sighed: "No one is going to the market now, and the primary school has closed because there are no children to go to school. Now, if you make breakfast, who will you make it for?"
"..."
Are elementary schools closed? !
Li Tian listened to the silence, and for a while, he felt a thousand feelings in his heart again.
