Chapter 432 Pinch the tip of the waterlon vine
Jiang Xinyan heard the shrill screams, "Husband, are Brother Xiang and Xiao Songjiang playing tricks?"
Chu Lixuan has deep inner strength. He heard the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao very clearly, but he didn't have ti to say it.
Because Jiang Xinyan is teaching the captain of the waterlon planting, Uncle Cheng and the captains are pinching the tips of the waterlon vines.
When his daughter-in-law asked him, she whispered in her ear and told Jiang Xinyan the conversation between Song Mingjiang and Dai Yuntao.
Chu Lixuan said slowly with his unique magnetic voice, and he didn't forget to say a word after he finished speaking.
"Song Mingjiang and Brother Xiang are not that powerful yet! It's okay to play tricks on children, but it's not enough to deal with Dai Yuntao and the others."
Jiang Xinyan: "..." She was about to praise the two little guys, but when she heard the man's words, she couldn't say the praise.
Chu Lixuan smugly looked at her little expression that was hesitant to say anything, he was so happy that he didn't want it, it was the best.
Why should you complint others! Not even a child, if she could, she could only praise him.
When Chu Lixuan and his wife passed by the waterlon field on horseback, Jiang Xinyan saw the waterlon growers fertilizing and pinching the tips of the waterlon vines.
She told the waterlon leaders and team leaders that when the waterlon vines grow to 50 to 60 centiters, they should pinch off their heads and fertilize them in ti.
So, the waterlon growers were busy, so Jiang Xinyan and Chu Lixuan dismounted and taught them how to pinch the waterlon vines.
Whether before flowering, during fruit setting or after fruit setting, it is necessary to pinch the waterlon vines to reduce nutrient consumption and allow nutrients to grow on the fruit.
"Madam, you know a lot! We have lived in the north for decades, and no one has ever grown waterlon."
Uncle Cheng is now the captain of the waterlon planting team. His wife taught them to pinch the tips of waterlon vines before. He was very curious and carried out it very carefully.
Knowing the main points, it is not difficult. The waterlon planting team leader was Song Ershu before. After he applied to raise horses, Cheng Ershu rose from the team leader to the waterlon planting leader.
When he was in the capital thirty years ago, he ate waterlon and was exiled to this barren, bitter and cold land.
Forgot what a waterlon looks like. Now that so waterlon vines have small egg-sized waterlons on them, he feels a sense of accomplishnt.
In addition to eating and sleeping, Uncle Cheng is busy in the waterlon field every day, because the ti to pinch the waterlon vines should be appropriate.
Generally, when the main vine of the waterlon grows to 50 centiters, you can pinch the head, and it is not necessary to pinch it once. It should be pinch every three to five days.
There are a lot of waterlons planted in their castle, and they are also waterlons grown in wasteland, so the ti is not uniform, so days are early and so days are late.
Therefore, Uncle Cheng was busy pinching the waterlon tips every day, and in the process of pinching the waterlon vines, he had to pull back the vines at the front of the young lons.
Wrap around the young lon, and then pinch off the young shoots at the top of the vine, so that the nutrients are concentrated on the fruiting side shoots.
If the side branches of the fruit are leggy, it is also necessary to pinch off the tip, which is conducive to the growth of the fruit. Uncle Cheng is very rare.
"Master Chu, Madam Chu, I saw this little waterlon yesterday that it was only the size of an egg. Now it has a big bowl, and it grows a lot in one day!"
"Well, what you need to pay attention to is that after the waterlon bears fruit, the nutrients are mainly concentrated on the fruit, and the growth of the vines will slow down, so don't pinch the tips anymore."
Jiang Xinyan is also very happy to see the little waterlon that grows a circle in a day. They planted waterlons in their space and ate them long ago.
However, they can't take it out and eat it, and the couple is not very motivated to eat alone.
Now seeing the waterlons grown by everyone outside, growing up, I still feel a sense of accomplishnt.
After more than 20 days, the earliest waterlon can be eaten. Thinking about that scene makes happy.
"Pay attention to that piece over there. Before the waterlon blooms, if the waterlon vine grows very fast, it should be topped off, and the tops of the main and side vines should be removed, so that the waterlon vine does not grow too long.
In this way, it is easier to produce beautiful flowers, and it is easier to bear fruit later.
When the waterlon vine grows the first, larger waterlon, you should pick the first waterlon in ti, and when the second fruit grows to the size of an egg, you can pinch the tip of the vine.
When the fruit is growing vigorously, the vines are nurous and the leaves are very dense. In addition to topping, the excess branches and leaves should be trimd.
When pinching the tip, press the vines on one side, and then start the big top from the eighth leaf from the fruit to the top. If there are many vines, top the side vines. "
After Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, she thought that soone would co to ask her a question, but everyone understood, she didn't need to say more.
"We all rembered it, so you have to know so much about growing waterlons!" said a team leader admiringly.
He was a group of exiles who were exiled together with Chu Lixuan and the others. To be precise, he still had no hardships.
Before, he was a fourth-rank official in the capital. Because he offended soone, he was frad by his colleagues and exiled. His wife ca along with him.
I had a lot of money on the road, and the food along the way was pretty good. In the end, when we encountered a plague of locusts, everyone was hungry for a few days, so they ate delicious and spicy food with Chu Lixuan and his wife.
Those exiles who really made mistakes and misbehavior were starved to death on the way.
Anyone who can stay has a good character, and almost all of them are officials who have been wronged.
"That's right, whether it's growing waterlons, rice, potatoes, or vegetables, you need to know a little bit of technology." Jiang Xinyan shook her hair arrogantly and said.
To be a farr, you also need to be educated and skilled in farming, which not only produces high yields but also multiplies the results with half the effort.
"Madam is absolutely right. We have been here for more than 30 years. No one has ever planted such beautiful seedlings and potatoes here. We have never seen them before."
Uncle Cheng said with emotion that it wasn't his heart, the fact was that the seedlings they planted before were shorter.
Not to ntion the satiating food of potatoes, and yacon juice, they didnt know that yacon fruit could be eaten before!
Dai Yuntao was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse, screaming in horror at his guards.
His personal guard did not know that his internal strength had recovered, and thought he was still seriously injured.
However, Dai Yuntao's martial arts skills naturally won't really fall, so he lifted up his inner strength and sat down firmly.
He was just so shocked that he forgot that he was sitting on a horse, so he tilted a little.
Song Mingjiang exaggeratedly patted his chest with his small hands: "You scared to death, big brother, didn't you say you won't be shocked again, my soul was scared away by you."
Dai Yuntao: "..." His face crackled.
