Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 430 Peanuts

When we got outside the wall, we could smell a foul smell before we even got close. The weather was still hot, and the smell of so much fermenting pig manure was really unpleasant.

What came into view was a huge pool, quietly leaning against the wall. The pool was covered with thick wooden boards, as if to protect some precious secret.

This may be done for safety reasons. After all, children are very curious. Without this layer of protection, they will easily approach this dangerous area out of curiosity. Once they fall into the water, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, this simple design actually contains deep care and responsibility.

Duke Zheng Lao sighed: "I didn't expect that raising pigs could be like this. How can one person raise so many pigs? And he still needs to cut grass for the pigs?"

Sheng Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, Grandfather. Picking pig grass is the job of the whole village. One basket of pig grass costs one penny. In addition, the vegetable leaves collected from the farm can be used to feed the pigs. The sweet potato vines we saw drying just now are used to feed the pigs."

Several people who were not aware of the plan nodded after hearing this: "I see."

Zhong Ruiyu couldn't wait to say, "There's nothing to see now, let's go to the field and take a look."

Seeing that he hadn't found any wild vegetables for the meal, Zheng Sisi said to Madam Zheng, "Grandma, you and Zhimin go back first. We'll go to the fields and take a look."

Madam Zheng asked, "Is it far? If it's not far, I'd like to go and see it too."

Zheng Sisi pointed to a large area of ​​land at the foot of the mountain: "That area is all of them."

Madam Zheng said, "Well, you go first, and I'll follow behind."

Zheng Zhimin said: "Grandma, I will accompany you."

He Qianqian and Li Ziyan also said that they would walk behind and go back when they got tired. Zheng Sisi had no choice but to agree.

Then the seven of them left first, leaving the old lady and the other four following slowly behind.

Zhong Ruiyu and Zheng Zhiyuan were like released birds, and they disappeared after turning two corners.

When we arrived at the vegetable garden, many vegetables were old. The potato field and corn field were replanted with vegetables. They were seeds given by Zheng Sisi, which were modern mustard greens. The potatoes were replanted according to Zheng Sisi's method, and new sprouts had already grown.

The fields were well taken care of by everyone, there was not even a weed, let alone wild vegetables.

Several people were very disappointed, and suddenly Zheng Zhiyuan shouted: "Come quickly, there are still tomatoes here."

Everyone gathered around. There was a row of tomatoes in the field. The trunks were all dry and yellow, and there were only a few leaves. These must have been left for seeds on the farm and not picked.

Zheng Sisi saw that Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu had already picked several, and she held her forehead with her hand.

Sheng Zhen asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Zheng Sisi pointed at the tomatoes and said, "These are the seeds that someone saved. They are very old."

Sheng Zhen was also shocked and quickly shouted, "You two pick them individually, they are for seeds."

After hearing this, the two stood up and said blankly: "We don't know, what should we do now."

Zheng Sisi: “Cold!”

Sheng Zhen was speechless. He waved at them and could only walk out of the tomato field in disappointment.

Zheng Sisi said: "If you want to eat wild vegetables, there are only a lot of wild vegetables and fruits on the mountain. The ones in the fields are basically for seeds."

Zhong Ruiyu said flatteringly: "Sister Sisi, please take us up the mountain tomorrow. Since we are here, we can't waste time."

Duke Zheng and Zheng Zhiyuan also looked at Zheng Sisi expectantly, but she had no choice but to nod.

After getting a satisfactory answer, several people jumped for joy. Zhong Ruiyu jumped up and said, "That's great! I haven't eaten game for a long time, haha!"

Zheng Zhiyuan pointed to a patch of green that was separated by several plots of land and asked, "What is planted in that patch of green? Is it edible?"

Zheng Sisi looked over and said, "It's too far away. I can't see clearly."

Zhong Ruiyu pulled Zheng Zhiyuan: "Let's go."

Zheng Sisi asked: "Do you know each other?"

"Uh! I don't know. Let me see first."

Duke Zheng smiled and said, "They are both really good foodies, haha!"

Zheng Sisi really wants to say that you are also a foodie.

When we arrived at the field, which should be about three or four acres in size, the leaves still looked green. When Zheng Sisi got closer, she saw that they were indeed peanuts.

Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin, do you know what this is?"

Zheng Sisi: "These are peanuts. It's time to harvest them. They should arrange to harvest sweet potatoes first."

Zhong Ruiyu: "How do we do this? Should we just pull it out?"

Zheng Sisi asked: "Do you want to eat?"

Zhong Ruiyu nodded vigorously: "Well, how do we eat this?"

Zheng Sisi ignored him and squatted down to pull out one. There were more than a dozen peanuts underneath. These were wild peanuts, not big in size and with small grains. But I don't know if these peanuts taste good.
