Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Half a Celebrity_1 Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Half a Celebrity_1 On one side, they were planting potatoes in the yard; on the other, they couldn’t neglect the Chinese cabbage in the vegetable field.
Besides making fertilizer, she also took so asures to get rid of pests.
Soon, the cabbages were growing big and robust, each leaf full and juicy.
You could tell they would taste exceptionally sweet and crisp just by looking at them.
Since the village’s vegetable fields were all concentrated in the sa area, the other villagers could see the growth of Nan Feng’s cabbage.
Initially, they scoffed at Nan Feng’s diligent efforts, making water pipes and applying nutrients in her vegetable field, thinking this young girl was just wasting her ti.
But when they saw Nan Feng’s first batch of cabbages finally reach maturity, they were all filled with envy.
So even ca to her for tips.
First, it was Sima’s wife: “Feng, what is that dark stuff you dabble with every day?
It doesn’t look like manure, and it doesn’t look like soil.”
Nan Feng, straightforward as she was, didn’t mind others learning her skills.
She admitted frankly: “Aunt Sima, I’m applying fertilizer.”
“Fertilizer?
How do you make it?”
“You can make it by burning kudzu vine, bellflower, and bean sprouts into ash,” Nan Feng explained.
She then took out so leftover materials from the side of the vegetable field and demonstrated to Aunt Sima on the spot.
Aunt Sima was seeing this for the first ti and found it unbelievable: “Just like this?”
“Yes, just like this.
If you trust , Aunt Sima, you could try sprinkling so on the cabbages in your field.
If you don’t trust , then just do as you wish,” Nan Feng said as she picked cabbages.
Aunt Sima laughed and said: “I’ll give it a try.
If it works, I’ll share the thod with the other villagers.”
“Yes, you try.”
“…”
Later, more and more villagers ca to ask for Nan Feng’s vegetable growing thods.
For a while, she beca quite popular in the village.
…
The Mo Family.
It was a house in the village with white walls and black tiles, a high threshold, and two bright red lanterns hanging on the doors.
There weren’t many houses like this in the village.
Those who lived in such houses were considered wealthy families.
In the main hall of the house, the Mo family, from the eldest to the youngest, were having dinner, a lively multi-generational gathering.
Sohow, the conversation turned to Nan Feng.
It was the village chief’s younger sister-in-law who was speaking with Wenxuan’s mother: “Sister-in-law, have you used that fertilizer recently?
I sprinkled so in my vegetable field awhile ago and found it surprisingly effective.
The originally wilted lettuce has beco juicy.”
Wenxuan’s mother put a piece of at into her mouth while swiftly putting another piece into Wenxuan’s bowl.
This was the reality of a large family, although they had at to eat every day, it never seed enough.
If you wanted to eat at, you needed to be quick.
But you couldn’t just snatch it; that would ruin the pleasant atmosphere, and so one relied on wit.
Wenxuan’s mother, after years of practice, had mastered the art of eating plenty of at without losing her grace.
As she chewed on her at, she said, “Fertilizer?
I haven’t used it.
Why is everyone talking about it all of a sudden?”
The sister-in-law said, “Don’t you know?
It was Nan Feng who first started making it.
The cabbages she grew using that fertilizer are excellent, so now half the village is using it.”
“Nan Feng?” Wenxuan’s mother seed puzzled.
At this, Wenxuan nonchalantly lifted his head.
“Yes, the girl who was engaged to your family but didn’t end up marrying,” the sister-in-law said while picking up the at with her chopsticks.
She poked three pieces of at at once, threw two pieces into her daughter’s bowl and kept one for herself.
