After returning home, Xu Yin took a hoe from the system warehouse and dug the soil in the yard.
Because it was an old building built in the late 1980s, the ground in the courtyard was not paved with tiles, and the walkway leading to the courtyard door was only embedded with a few pebbles, which made it easier for her to grow vegetables.
She thought that since she wanted to move the farm into the campus, at least people must know that she can grow vegetables. Otherwise, like Ms. Xu, they would express deep doubts about whether she could grow vegetables and whether the vegetables she grew could be eaten.
How else to carry out this task?
So she started growing vegetables at home, and planted fresh and delicious vegetables all over the yard and walls. She became known as a "Little Farming Expert". After school started, she went to plant vegetables on campus. No one would doubt her ability, right?
The key is - is there a place on campus for her to grow vegetables?
Every time I think about this, I get a headache.
This task seems easy, but it is really not easy to operate.
The school is a place for teaching and educating people. Who will enclose the land for you to grow vegetables? Although it is a vocational high school, and it is the third-rate vocational high school with the lowest admission score in the city, it does not offer a major in planting.
My brain hurts! No small world task is easy.
System, come out! We must chat!
The dog system remains silent as always.
Xu Yin turned over the soil and cleared away weeds and small stones. Worried that the soil was not fertile enough, she mixed some Mimi Taoyuan Star soil into it. Then, when the weather was cooler in the morning, she watered the soil with water mixed with spiritual dew.
After watering thoroughly, sow vegetable seeds.
There are several vegetables that need to be planted on the wall, including loofah, bitter gourd, and long cowpeas. There are endless cowpeas to eat. You can soak the pickled beans and dry them when they are old enough.
My mother sells cucumbers and tomatoes wholesale every day. I spray them with some spiritual dew mist and the taste is quite good, so I won’t plant them anymore, but I have planted a few small colorful tomatoes, which can be used as vegetables in salads or as fruits.
There are two ridges of land slightly away from the courtyard wall. One ridge is planted with pumpkins and potatoes, and the other is planted with eggplants and edamame.
The pumpkin melon seeds are selected from the superior varieties of Jinlun pumpkins grown in the 1970s. The young pumpkins taste like sweet chestnuts, pink and glutinous; the old pumpkins are super sweet when simmered in soup and desserts without adding sugar; they are ground into powder to make pumpkin cakes.
, the pumpkin steamed buns are also particularly fragrant.
The potatoes chosen are Jiaohe small potatoes, which are pink, glutinous and fragrant. They taste great when stewed or roasted.
Edamame is planted in this season. If you plant it now, you will be able to eat it in late August or early September. You will not be able to eat all the fresh edamame beans. You can also grow old edamame beans to be dried in the sun and used to grind soy milk in winter.
Eggplant is one of Xu Yin's favorite vegetables, and there are many ways to do it: steam it with some chopped green onion and drizzle it with sesame oil, which is very appetizing in summer; stir-fry eggplant with sauce, which is quick and delicious; there are also eggplant dumplings and eggplant pancakes.
Fried eggplant box... Anyway, one eggplant can make several dishes.
Suck it... I suddenly want to eat eggplant.
But today, Ms. Xu didn't buy any eggplants, so Xu Yin looked through the system warehouse and walked through several small worlds. There was everything in the system warehouse, including several varieties of eggplants alone.
She took a few thin vine eggplants, which are suitable for steaming and eating with oil.
I also took a round eggplant, two potatoes, and a green pepper, planning to make some local delicacies.
Let’s have an eggplant feast at noon!
After thinking about the dishes for lunch, Xu Yin continued to squat in the ground, making use of the soil in every corner, and planting some small onions, leeks, and peppers that did not take up much space.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Xu Yin? Is Xu Yin at home?"
Xu Yin got up, washed her hands with the faucet in the yard, and walked to open the door.
"Xu Yin, I'm here to play with you!" Lu Yunran held a few books under her arm and followed Xu Yin into the house, "You welcome me, right?"
"..." You have said everything, what else can I say?
"My mother has been very kind to me in the past two days. She said that I have worked hard for three years in junior high school. It would be nice to give me a few days off before I go to high school. But she doesn't trust me to go elsewhere. You are the only one she agrees to.
I come."
Xu Yin was quite speechless: "Relax, you brought a book?"
"Hey, I'm used to it!"
"..."
"Xu Yin, what are you doing at home?"
"Grow vegetables."
"..." Lu Yunran thought she heard wrongly, "What did you say you were doing?"
Xu Yin pointed to the ridged yard: "I planted some vegetables."
"You are so capable! You can actually grow vegetables." Lu Yunran ran to the yard excitedly and looked around curiously, but she didn't see anything now. "You just planted it today? How long will it take to eat it?"
"It will probably take more than a month at the earliest."
She mixed Taoyuan star soil and poured water containing spiritual dew, which could advance the process a lot, but it wouldn't be too outrageous.
"What did you plant? Are there any tomatoes?"
Lu Yunran's favorite vegetables are tomatoes, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato salad, and even pickled fish must be tomato-flavored.
"No big tomatoes were planted, but a few small tomatoes were planted."
Xu Yin said, went into the house and took out two large tomatoes, washed them in front of the faucet, and handed one to Lu Yunran.
"The big tomatoes my mom sells are quite delicious, but I won't grow them myself."
Lu Yunran held the tomato and took a bite, her eyes lit up: "Well...this tomato is really delicious!"
She took a sip of the juice and swallowed it with satisfaction before saying: "My mother also said that there are no good vegetables in the farmer's market. She always buys them in the supermarket, but I think the tomatoes she buys in the supermarket are not as delicious as this one. There are several.
Every time I buy it, the skin looks red and the inside is still raw, or it tastes bland. My dad said that the melons sold in the market now are not sweet, the vegetables are not fragrant, and the fruits are tasteless. I want to eat them like they used to.
You have to go to the countryside to grow your own fruits and vegetables with a strong flavor. But the tomatoes you sell at Xu Yin’s house are really delicious! Can I ask how many kilograms you buy?”
"Sure! It was originally for sale."
Just like that, when Lu Yunran left, she took away four large tomatoes, two cucumbers, a handful of lettuce, and a pound of water spinach.
She went home happily and said that her mother would make it for lunch.
Xu Yin: "..."
What on earth did you come for?
“Hey wait a minute—you left your book!”
"It's okay! I'll come and play with you tomorrow!"
Xu Yin: "..."
When Lu Yunran got home, she brought the vegetables to Mother Lu.
"Mom, I bought some vegetables at Xu Yin's house. The tomatoes her mother sold were very delicious. I ate one raw at her house. It was very similar to the old tomatoes my father said."
Seeing that her daughter was back on time, Mother Lu didn't say anything, but also brought back a bag of vegetables. She looked much cheerfuler, and her heart dropped back after hanging for a long time. She felt more and more that it was the right decision to allow her daughter to go play with Xu Yin.
.
She has been introspecting for the past two days, especially after hearing what the uncle across the building told her about the situation that day. She was so scared that she didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights, fearing that her daughter's depression would not be relieved and she would think about what to do on the roof of the building.
Stupid thing.
So in the past two days, Mother Lu didn't even go to class. She took all the rest of this year's annual leave at once and stayed at home with her daughter, but she didn't dare to urge her to study.
Compared with "living", 985, 211, and world-renowned schools seem to be unimportant.
