Ye Fu's pumpkins are growing very well, and anyone who didn't come here to replace them with pumpkin seedlings regrets it.
In the evening, Ye Fu went out to dig mushrooms outside. Several elder sisters came up to her and started asking if there were any pumpkin seedlings.
"The pumpkin seedlings are gone. There is no water now. I won't plant them even after I planted them."
"Ye Fu, after your pumpkin matures, can we exchange it for supplies?"
Ye Fu looked at the eldest sister who asked the question, "I don't know how the output is now. If the output is not good, I'm afraid we can't exchange it."
"The yield must be good. You are an expert at planting. Nothing you grow can have a bad yield."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "That's not certain. After all, there is a shortage of water now and the temperature is still so high. But don't worry, if I have extra, I will definitely give it to everyone."
Everyone saw that Ye Fu was refusing to eat anything, and although they were not happy, they did not dare to offend her.
Ye Fu went around to dig mushrooms. Several people were muttering behind him, but Ye Fu ignored them.
"Ye Fu, there is an aunt, so don't offend her." Lin Siran approached Ye Fu and reminded her in a low voice.
"Who? Why?"
"That's the aunt with a piece of yellow-brown cotton cloth around her head. Do you still remember the time when Qi Yuan planted sweet potatoes and everyone knew about it? It was her son who found out when he stole the watermelons Qi Yuan planted. There are some problems in their family.
Many people have been caught doing petty theft, but they don’t have much. In addition, there is an old man in his seventies and a six-year-old child at home. Everyone turns a blind eye, but they are very
Hold a grudge, you have to be careful about the pumpkin patch, don’t let them destroy it.”
"I understand, don't worry, I won't let them have a high chance of destruction."
Ye Fu squinted his eyes. It seemed that he would have to put something on the protective fence after returning.
After digging, she went back with a bamboo basket and leaves to support her. Now digging mushrooms requires two or three kilometers outside the safe zone, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. But she is not a person who can live idle. Even if there is food in the space, she is still used to it.
Keep hoarding stuff.
I went to the backyard and took a look. Jiang Run was busy in the fields. Ye Fu walked up to him and told him what Lin Siran said.
"We have planted two acres. No matter how the harvest is, some people will definitely be jealous. Now everyone's harvest has been cut off. There are so many people in the safe zone, and many people are staring at this pumpkin patch. I plan to prepare some medicinal powder and sprinkle it on
On the protective fence, as long as someone climbs in, they will be hit."
If he really stole it from her, Ye Fu would not show mercy.
She just wanted to make the person who stole it suffer, so she didn't dare to reveal it, so she could only suffer a hidden loss.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it. If anyone dares to break in, I will deal with it."
Jiang Run's expression was calm, and the solemn look in his eyes made him look even more formidable.
"Um."
Ye Fu didn't stop him. After talking to him, Ye Fu went back to the wooden house to prepare the powder. She made the most powerful itching powder, which won't kill people, but the effect of the medicine takes effect very quickly. A little contamination is enough to make people surrender.
.
After the preparation was completed, Ye Fu put on gloves, carried the powder to the backyard, and applied the powder on the inside of the guardrail.
Every day after that, Ye Fu still went out to dig mushrooms, and when he came back, he took care of the two goats and chayote.
After the chayote began to climb, Ye Fu built a vine climbing frame, and now it has begun to bear small melons.
Ye Fu counted and found that the first batch of small melons had exceeded five hundred.
Pumpkins have also begun to bear fruit, and the yield is very high. Depending on the variety, one of these pumpkins can grow to fifty, sixty or even hundreds of kilograms, and the smallest one can grow to more than ten kilograms.
The process from fruiting to ripening of pumpkins is very fast. In about a month, huge pumpkins begin to mature.
After the pumpkins matured, more people came to hang out. Even Wan Tao came and made reservations for three with Ye Fu. Others were also a little ready to make a move, but Ye Fu still said that if you don't change the pumpkins, you can change the pumpkin seeds.
When the melon base dries up, it means that the pumpkin is completely mature. Ye Fu took out an electronic scale and weighed it. The largest pumpkin weighed more than 200 kilograms, and the smallest one weighed 11 kilograms.
In the evening, Ye Fu and Jiang Run began to collect melons, and each big melon was put into the space. Ye Fu was in a good mood and kept humming.
"The rest will have to wait four or five days to mature. There are still many unripe ones that are still bearing fruit. Let's collect these tonight. Jiang Run, thank you for your hard work. These pumpkins are all your fault."
Seeing that she was so easily satisfied, Jiang Run stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead.
"So what's my reward?"
"I will reward you with a durian."
Jiang Run...
"Haha, you're just kidding. I'll make pumpkin pie, pumpkin porridge, and pumpkin sweet soup for you."
Thousands of large pumpkins were packed into the space tonight, and the yield was so high that it was beyond Ye Fu's expectation.
The next night, a few sneaky people came outside the guardrail of the pumpkin patch and looked at the huge pumpkins inside. They couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.
"This Ye Fu also said that her output is not high, and I wouldn't trade with her. I will let her know the consequences of offending me tonight."
They all held machetes and sickles in their hands, and sneaked through the guardrail. A few of them selected more than a dozen pumpkins that were medium or small and could be moved away. They planned to destroy all the others.
"stop."
Several people were startled, and just as they were about to run away, they were caught by people outside. Wooden sticks fell on them unceremoniously, causing several people to cry loudly and beg for mercy.
"I was wrong. I will never steal again. Don't fight."
"Xiao Jie, Sun Zhi, it's really you."
Wan Tao came out of the crowd, and a few people looked up and saw that the ones who beat them were a few teenagers on patrol. Standing outside, besides Wan Tao and others, there were also many residents of the safe area.
"Tie them up and call Ye Fu and Jiang Run. Let them decide what to do with these people."
There were six people who stole the melons. In addition to Xiao Jie and his family, there were also Sun Zhi and his wife.
The six people were tied tightly with hemp ropes and dragged directly to the front of the wooden house.
When Ye Fu and Jiang Run came out, they had been beaten beyond recognition.
"Dr. Ye, Jiang Run, we were wrong. We won't dare to do it again. Since we are the first offenders and have not caused any damage, please spare us this time."
"I promised to exchange seeds for you, but I didn't expect that you would come to cause damage. Everyone, if I have any seeds, I will exchange them for you after planting them, so that everyone can have food. Whoever has a headache or fever, I
I never refuse and work hard to treat it, but I didn’t expect that someone would come to my field to cause damage and want to destroy all my pumpkins.”
The residents were also very angry. No one thought that these people would dare to do such a thing. Now it is a natural disaster, and they dare to destroy food. Such people should be struck by lightning and die a good death.
