Bai Wu hadn't been to the fields for several days, but when he went to the fields today, his family's potato field was actually full of purple flowers.
Several of the florets had withered and started to form hard seed packets.
Bai Wu held the seed packets in his hands to check them one by one, his face full of shock.
Seeing his expression, Nanyao was a little strange, "What's wrong?"
Bai Wu shook his head and murmured, "I actually forgot that potatoes will bear seeds!"
"How can new seedlings grow if they don't bear seeds?"
"I've never planted them before. Potatoes. In our past life, we used seed potatoes to grow potatoes, and we cut them directly and planted them."
Bai Wu squatted on the ground and held the tender seeds that had just emerged, and studied for a long time.
He frantically searched his mind for knowledge about potatoes, and it took him a while to figure out what was going on.
Generally, seed potatoes are vegetatively propagated with seed potatoes, because the potatoes he came into contact with in his previous life were all seed potatoes processed by the seed company!
The new potatoes grown from seed potatoes will be similar to the mother's generation, with high yield, less pests and diseases, and can maintain good traits.
This does not mean that seeds cannot be sown.
Just sown with seeds, the potatoes will grow slowly, and the small potatoes that grow out are also unstable, which is not worth it to the average farmer.
But this life is completely different.
The potatoes they obtained were originally large potatoes dug directly from the wild. They had not been artificially bred, and it didn't matter if they used seeds!
That is to say, they can combine the two sowing methods, using potato stems as seed potatoes, cutting and sowing seeds, and direct seeding.
The inefficiencies and erratic traits associated with direct seeding of potatoes are not a problem for them at all.
At most they waste a little land and labor, but they have more land and more labor.
There are wastelands everywhere in the wild. They only need to choose a piece of land and plant it after reclamation. No matter how much they harvest, they will not suffer!
Bai Wu cherished the seeds and murmured: "When they grow, I must collect them well, and then sow them."
Nan Yao raised his head, "You can plant them when you harvest them?"
"You can try. Dry it, store it for a few days and you can grow buds. If it germinates, you can plant it. If it doesn't germinate, it means that the temperature is not right. We will wait until next spring."
Bai Wu looked at the large piece of potato flowers in front of him, and his heart was filled with happiness, "Anyway. With so many seeds, let's just try."
What is meant by "planting a grain of millet in spring, harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn"?
This is!
It is impossible for them to lack seeds in the future!
Nanyao: "Will it freeze to death in winter? The land outside will freeze hard for many years."
"You reminded me, this is indeed a problem." Bai Wu thought for a while, "Why do you say we plant potatoes near the hot springs? Like? It's a bit warmer over there, and the soil won't freeze in winter, right?"
"This method is not good, you have to stay away from the hot spring, so you don't get too hot."
"Yes! Potatoes like coolness, so don't get too close. As long as the land doesn't freeze in winter, it's fine. In the next two days, we can go to cultivate the land first, because the soil there is more fertile." The
two discussed it, and then went to work at the moment.
They're going to make soil for the potatoes.
Now is the time for potatoes to expand, so you need to raise the soil a little higher to create the right environment for the potatoes to grow and make sure they don't grow out of the way when they're expanded, and the skin turns blue when exposed to air.
After cooking the potatoes, the two went to the Eagle Clan.
Baiwu's family now has a lot of iron ore, and he entrusted the Eagle Clan to make iron plows.
Both of their cattle have grown up and can take on the heavy responsibility of ploughing the fields.
They just need to clear all kinds of weeds and stones from the ground, and let the ox pull the plow to plough the field.
The soil near the hot spring is relatively fluffy, and the ox is strong. Pulling the plough over, it can plow a line in three or two strokes.
The workload that used to be several days can now be completed in one morning.
After the wasteland was plowed out, Baiwu and Nanyao cleaned up the stones, tree roots, grass seeds, insect eggs and other debris in the soil, and sprinkled the base fertilizer.
Leave this wasteland for a while, and when you really want to plant it, turn it over again and clean up the plants on it. It is a fertile field.
Bai Wu's potatoes are the same every day.
Bai Wu looks forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the seeds to mature.
After the first batch of seeds matured, he immediately picked them and put them in the early morning sun for two days. After drying, he wrapped them in cotton wool and sprayed them with water to start germination.
Maybe because the potatoes here are not the same variety as Baiwu in the previous life.
The process of germination of the potato seeds turned out to be very smooth.
Within two days, thin and weak buds grew on it.
This small bud is very fragile, and if Bai Wu exhales a little bit in one breath, it may break the small bud, which is completely different from the bud from the potato stem.
Bai Wu hurriedly transplanted the small sprouts into the vegetable field they cultivated near the hot spring with Nan Yao.
He was afraid that the temperature near the hot spring would be too high, so he would visit it every day when he took a bath.
The small buds have been growing, and soon turned from bright yellow to bright green, and the stalks have become much stronger.
Bai Wu finally didn't have to worry about a gust of wind blowing over them and breaking them.
Seeing that the potato seeds were effective, Bai Wu bred another batch of seedlings, and entrusted the nine tribes of the bird tribe to plant these batches of potato seedlings together.
He wanted to investigate whether the potatoes from the seedlings could naturally overwinter, and by the way, to see the impact of different places on the potatoes.
If this batch of potatoes can produce small potatoes, it will be even better to add a vegetable to everyone.
The nine major tribes readily agreed, and said that they would plant the potatoes in the tribe's vegetable fields.
During the process of planting the potato sprouts, the potato seedlings of Baiwu's family gradually turned yellow and seemed to be ready to be dug.
Bai Wu specially picked a sunny day, pulled Nan Yao, brought his family, and carried the basket on his back to dig potatoes together.
Shore lazily raised his interest, "It's just a small piece of potato field, there are only forty-seven potatoes in total, where do you need the whole family to start together?"
"Why not? I want to share it with the family. The joy of a bumper harvest!"
"Speaking of which, what do potatoes taste like?"
"I'll make them for you after digging."
These potatoes are the first batch of potatoes in Baiwu's family. He planted them with great care and raised them very high. , the spacing is also large.
Plants of potatoes now grow like small shrubs, each as tall as their waists and lush.
Kishi picked up the hoe and looked for several angles, trying to swing the hoe down, but finally stopped, "How do you dig this potato? Otherwise, cut off the seedlings on it first?"
"No need to cut it." Bai Wu hugged his hands The potato seedlings, gather them together, grab the potato seedlings and pull them up, "Just pull it out—just! Huh!"
Bai Wu said with force, and pulled out the potato seedlings together with the potatoes below.
He was flushed red, and he used great strength. The moment the potato was pulled up, he lost his balance, took a few steps backwards, and was about to stumble and sit on the ground.
Nanyao held his waist behind him, supported him, and looked down at the potatoes, "These potatoes are quite a lot."
Bai Wu gasped, "It's really okay."
Bai Wu shook his hands.
Potato stalks are hairy, not stinging, but uncomfortable.
The potatoes they pulled out had pale yellow skins, the big ones were bigger than Nanyao's fist, the small ones were about the same as ping-pong balls, and they were all hanging in a string.
Chuan and Mo came forward.
Chuan said in surprise: "Is there a lot of potatoes?"
"It's not too much, there must be a lot in the soil."
Bai Wu picked the potatoes from the hanging potato seedlings, put them in the back basket, and squatted down. Come down and grope for potatoes in the dirt.
Potatoes are fragile, and they can't just dig down hard with a hoe, otherwise it's easy to dig the potatoes in half.
Digging potatoes is a delicate job.
The family dug a little bit with a hoe and soon found other potatoes in the soil.
These potatoes are like a nest of eggs hidden in the soil, large and small nesting in the ground, looking very gratifying.
Kishi squatted beside him and counted: "One, two, three... Twelve, thirteen, fourteen, this potato plant yielded fourteen potatoes!"
These fourteen potatoes were placed in a small half-basket .
Bai Wu shook his lower back basket. Among the fourteen potatoes, there were two Big Macs that were slightly smaller than footballs, three little guys who were about the same size as table tennis, and the remaining nine were big and small, all of good size.
"It's much better than I thought." Bai Wu said contentedly, "Let's dig more and see how much we can dig in total." The
family worked together and rummaged three times in this small potato field.
In the last 47 potato plants, a total of 522 large and small potatoes were dug up, which filled eleven back baskets!
Bai Wu himself did not expect that this potato would be so high-yielding.
Looking at the baskets of big potatoes, Bai Wu's mind flashed the scenes of them carefully serving the potatoes, from cutting into pieces and covering them with ashes, to pulling weeds and cultivating soil, to fertilizing and pollinating.
This potato field is not big, but they did sweat a lot in the field.
Today's harvest is enough to comfort them for all their hard work.
As soon as he got home, Bai Wu picked up a basket of potatoes and couldn't wait to get into the kitchen, "You guys have a rest, I'll cook something delicious for you."
Nan Yao followed behind him, "I'll help."
Chuan and Mo Yuan thought Help, see this scene, stop and don't disturb them.
Kishi was paralyzed on the wooden reclining chair that was recently added to their house, grabbed the fan and fanned it, "I don't want to move at all now."
Bai Wu said to him in the kitchen: "You guys take a rest, and then you can eat."
Bai Wu had thought of countless recipes about potatoes in his mind - french fries, mashed potatoes, potato ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes...
When he first switched to potatoes, he was already greedy, taking into account how difficult it was to switch to such a point Seeds, he was reluctant to eat them, he was greedy for half a year, and he could finally have a good meal today.
Bai Wu specially took out a few steaks with oily bottom from the jar and used them to stew potatoes.
Potatoes are fried and then fried.
The unique aroma of potatoes soon wafted across the yard.
Bai Wu fryed the first batch of fries on the stove, put a small plate on a dry plate, and served it with chopsticks and mouth-biting fruit dipping sauce, and handed it to Nan Yao, "How about a taste?
" The strips are first boiled in salt water and then fried. They are fragrant and soft when squeezed out. The taste is even more amazing when dipped in dipping sauce.
Nan Yao tasted one, and when looking at Shang Bai Wu's questioning eyes, he took one of his chopsticks and dipped it in the dipping sauce and handed it to his mouth, "You'll know if you taste it."
"Well, delicious!
" Next to their heads, they smiled at each other, and ate several fries.
When Kishi heard the movement, he straightened up, looked in from the kitchen door, and just saw the two of them eating French fries, "Ow", "You two open a small stove!"
Bai Wu said confidently, "What is this called to open a small stove? , this is the chef's test dish!"
Kishi smelled this fragrance, and he was too greedy in the morning. The reason for trying the dishes was not enough to convince him.
He shouted and wanted to come and try the dishes.
Two big wolves were at his feet, and they also yelped with him.
Bai Wu said: "Wipe the table, we can eat soon."
Bai Wu's family has just harvested a season of rice, and now they are eating new rice.
The rice cooked from the new rice is fragrant and soft, and the grains are distinct.
Bai Wu put the stewed pork ribs up, briefly brushed the pot, and then started to fry hot and sour shredded potatoes.
They don't have vinegar at home, but they do have tart jam.
The chutney made from mouth-to-mouth fruit and sour jam is sour and spicy. After he poured the sauce into the shredded potatoes, he immediately coated the shredded potatoes with a layer of red sauce.
Put the soy sauce and salt in Baiwu, stir fry evenly, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion on top, and the hot and sour shredded potatoes are ready.
"Eat!"
Bai Wu shouted, everyone serving dishes, and those with chopsticks, ready to start the meal.
As soon as they came to the table, everyone invariably stretched their chopsticks towards the hot and sour shredded potatoes.
The shredded potatoes are sour and spicy, fragrant and crispy, which is simply an artifact for eating.
Bai Wu took a "hiss" breath, his eyes lit up.
This is the taste of memory! It is the unique taste of hot and sour shredded potatoes that are fried in a large fire, iron pot, and wok!
The hot and sour shredded potato is very delicious, and the potato pieces stewed with the ribs are also fragrant and soft. After soaking up the soup, the potato flavor and the meat flavor are perfectly mixed, making one bite a piece, and you can't stop your mouth.
Bai Wu had a chopstick of shredded potatoes and a chopstick of potato cubes, and he was sweating profusely.
The family members too, stretched out the chopsticks very quickly.
After this meal, everyone was exhausted.
Mo brought out golden mashed potatoes with goat milk, honey and cheese from the bakery as dessert for everyone.
The mashed potatoes have just been taken out, scooped up with a spoon, and can still be brushed.
When they took a bite, this mashed potato was fragrant and sweet, with a dense texture, which was different from shredded potatoes and other flavors.
Kishi looked at the mashed potato under his hand, "This potato is amazing, and it has a different flavor."
Bai Wu just dug a mouthful of mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth, he was breathing heavily.
After eating this bite, he would have time to answer, "Of course, there are other ways to do it. When we find peppers, we can also make fried potatoes. The potatoes are fried soft, pressed into a cake, and sprinkled with a handful of them. Chili powder, that taste—it's unique."
Kishi thought for a while and shook his head, "French fries are already delicious, I can't think of it."
