Little Life on An American Ranch: Chapter 265 fall into the radish pit

  Chapter 265 Falling into the Carrot Pit

Pushing open the door of the greenhouse, Jian Heng found that the soil in the newly built greenhouse had been loosened, and from time to time, weak seedlings could be seen standing a little sickly. Not long after transplanting, some seedlings even had water stains under their roots.

Of course, Jian Heng came here not only to look at the seedlings, but originally he wanted to come here to get some tender ones as vegetarian dishes for the hot pot tonight, but now he sees that if they grow under natural conditions, these vegetables must not be expected to be good now, even if It takes about ten days to eat it, and it takes half a month for it to grow fully.

  But Jian Heng naturally has a way. He found a place and got into the space. When he came out again, he had already prepared the water ingredients needed for "boosting seedlings to grow".

   There are more than a dozen kinds of vegetable seedlings in a greenhouse. Zhao Changshan sorts them out pretty well. The seedlings, large and small, are neatly arranged. There are gaps between different varieties, and the arrangement of large and small is very regular.

Zhao Changshan planted them with great care, but Jian Heng did not grow up in Nong Yang, so when these seedlings came out, most Jian Heng didn’t know who was right. What, like other eggplants, Jian Heng can't quite tell them apart.

   If you can’t tell the difference, the best way is to water it!

  Jian Heng squatted at the entrance of the greenhouse, looked around, and found no one, so he directly took the prepared space water out of the space, and poured it on the seedlings.

As the first drop of water fell on the leaves, the whole seedling changed and began to grow upwards continuously. During the process of continuous twisting of the stems, new leaves were pulled out one after another. Like a fast-play on TV, the entire growth process of the plant was presented in front of Jian Heng in just five seconds.

   "It turned out to be a red carrot!"

Waiting for the seedling to grow, Jian Heng discovered that the first thing he raised to grow was a red radish. This kind of radish is rolled back, with green skin and red heart. In the past, Jian Heng's favorite thing was a red radish and a steamed bun. , Eat with the aroma of steamed buns mixed with the flavor of radish.

   Although the way of eating seems a bit strange, it is Jian Heng's personal hobby.

Since this piece was radishes, Jian Heng moved to the next ridge of seedlings. After squatting down, he took out the space water and poured them directly. Just like the scene just now, although this ridge is also a radish, it’s just a different variety. It is a red heart, and this ridge is a big white radish.

  When it grows into a white radish that has the length of an adult's arm, this kind of radish is good for roasting meat in winter, roasting ribs and so on.

   The radish became a piece, and eating hot pot was considered enough. Jian Heng pulled out the white radish casually, threw it into the space, and then moved it to the side of the third ridge, and watered the seedlings closest to him.

   A few minutes later, Jian Heng couldn't help being surprised, because the seedling turned out to be a radish.

  This time it’s not a white radish, this time it’s a small carrot, about the size of a thumb, red and round, some places call it a fruit radish, like Jian Heng’s hometown calls this kind of radish a water radish.

This thing is usually a plate, after it is cracked, mixed with vinegar and sesame oil, it is used as an appetizer, it is quite rare to go out to eat now, but when Jian Heng was in middle school, the neighbors at home, including his old man Jian Zhenhua , When you drink, you will come to a plate, especially when you drink in summer, it is cheap and refreshing to get such a plate.

  What's the use of a radish the size of a finger, so Jian Heng poured a piece of it here, and it seemed that it almost made up a plate, and then he put it away.

   Came to the fourth ridge, when Jian Heng poured water on the heads of the seedlings again, he couldn't calm down, because the radishes still grew.

   "I'm going to go, Zhao Changshan fell into the carrot nest, one row of carrots on the left and another row of carrots!" Jian Heng looked at the big carrot in front of him with some anger and said to himself.

   There is no way to get angry, the radishes have all been planted, if they are placed here, they are too conspicuous, and the other radishes are still in the state of seedlings, but this one has grown directly, so it is not looking for trouble. So even though Jian Heng didn't want it, he still pulled out the carrot and threw it back into his own space.

Jian Heng thought that this was the end for him, and there were no more radishes. Unfortunately, Jian Heng still miscalculated the situation. The fifth and sixth ridges were still radishes, but one ridge was big green radishes, and the other was purple radishes. Peel radishes.

   With these six ridges, more than half of the entire greenhouse is occupied by various radishes. This made Jian Heng almost roll his eyes.

   Fortunately, the remaining ridges are no longer radishes. Although they are not radishes, there are not many that can be used for hot pot, such as celery and yam. Who eats hot pot with this!

   Walking down the circle of the greenhouse, Jian Heng only got three or four hot pot ingredients, two of which were radishes!

Pushing open the door of the second greenhouse, Jian Heng was about to enter the third room. Just as he pushed open the door of the third room, he found that Zhao Changshan and Feng Sanzhu were each holding a small shovel, one was at the other end, and the other was in the greenhouse. The other end is busy.

   "What are you going to plant?"

  Jian Heng lost his temper because of the No. 2 greenhouse, so he opened his mouth and asked, is Zhao Changshan, the greenhouse here, planning to plant another series.

"I grow cabbage here, and milk cabbage on Sanzhu's side. In addition to these two kinds, there are also broccoli, bitter gourd and cucumber..." Zhao Changshan stopped his work when he saw Jian Heng coming in. He took off the hat on his head, fanned himself very proudly and chatted with Jian Heng about the food.

Jian Heng refrained from holding a meeting with the radishes from the No. 2 greenhouse to scold this guy, and listened to him swallowing his breath, and then asked: "Is there anything suitable for hot pot? It's winter, let's wait for the vegetables to grow together, Get some hot pot and put it on the table, and everyone gathers around, isn’t it particularly Chinese atmosphere?”

  When Zhao Changshan heard this, he smiled and said, "Why not? I will plant spinach, bean sprouts, and lettuce in the next greenhouse. When the time comes...".

As soon as he heard this guy say that the next greenhouse will be built, Jian Heng immediately filtered out the following content. After thinking about it, he felt that asking for help was better than asking for a few, so he simply opened a piece of land in the space to grow some vegetables. When I first entered, I found that it was summer’s turn in the space today, and there was still time to grow some vegetables.

   If you can't make it in time for dinner, Jian Heng is going to use space water to water it again.

   "Are there many seeds? Give me some more, I'll find a place to plant them for fun." Jian Heng opened his mouth and asked.

"There are quite a lot of seeds. When I buy them, I buy them in packs. How can we grow so many seeds in this little place? Let alone a pack, even one-tenth of them won't be used. Here! They're all over there. Well, there are names on the cover, and there are pictures if you don’t understand the names.” Zhao Changshan pointed to a wooden box in the middle and said to Jian Heng.

  Seeing the box, Jian Heng said to Zhao Changshan: "Then you do your work, I'll go over here to see the seeds."

  Hearing what Jian Heng said, Zhao Changshan lowered his head and continued to work on his work, while Jian Heng came to the wooden box in two or three steps, and opened the lid of the box with his hand.

   "Ho!"

   Seeing that the box was full of seeds, there were almost a hundred kinds of seeds, Jian Heng couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Hearing Jian Heng's voice, Zhao Changshan said triumphantly: "I have almost all the dishes you can think of, including the specialties of various places, for example, the sauerkraut from Sichuan and the sauerkraut from Jiangbei They are both called sauerkraut, but they are actually different dishes, I have both kinds here..."

Seeing his appearance, Jian Heng smiled and said, "Look at how aggressive you are! It's the same as Kong Yiji, and there are several ways to write fen! Go do your work, for me, sauerkraut is just one Kind, the Jiangbei kind."

  While talking and picking, after a while, Jian Heng felt a little bit dazzled. All the vegetable seed bags are the same size, and hundreds of kinds are placed together. It would be strange if Jian Heng didn't get dazzled.

   Dazed, Jian Heng simply hugged the box and picked it up: "I'll take this thing back to study and study, and I'll return it tomorrow."

  Seeing Jian Henglian's side of the box, Zhao Changshan and Feng Sanzhu were stunned.

   "Where are you going to plant, you want so many seeds" Zhao Changshan said helplessly.

   "There are too many, I don't know what to plant! So I'm going to take it back and take a look at it slowly," Jian Heng said.

"Hey, let me help you find it. I'll give you some of the common ones. You can grow them wherever you want." How could Zhao Changshan let him take away the box? He spent a lot of effort on this thing and entrusted many people. Get it back, let Jian Heng move, if it is lost, he will have to cry.

   So, when Jian Heng left the greenhouse again, he had 20 more common vegetable seeds in his hands, such as cabbage, celery, and coriander.
