Others cultivate me to farm

Chapter 6 Chips and Hash Browns

Early the next morning, Tianzhou took Angus to pick peppers.Now September is the best season for pepper picking, so the mature peppers will be picked immediately.One part will be used as seasoning and the other part will be reserved for seeds.

This pepper tree is very big, I don't know how many years old it is, and there are many small pepper seedlings under the tree, which happen to be ready-made seedlings for transplanting.While planning the planting of peppercorns, Tian Zhou patiently taught Angus how to pick peppercorns.Considering some technical problems, Tianzhou only taught Angus to pick the earliest ripe peppercorns first. The mature peppercorns turned red or purple in color, with verrucous protrusions on the peel, obvious oil spots, transparent and shiny, and the seeds turned red. Black, the peel is easy to crack, and the fragrance is strong and spicy. (note)

"Angus, this is a mature peppercorn, do you understand?"

Angus nodded, and quickly picked a few pepper plants as required.Tian Zhou looked at it and felt relieved. "Remember not to rub your eyes with your hands after picking peppercorns."

And Tianzhou himself has to "maintain" the big pepper tree - pruning.

When picking Zanthoxylum bungeanum, there is a full bud in the axil of the first leaf under the ear of the big pepper. This bud is the fruiting bud of the next year. Pay attention to protection and do not remove it.Under the weak branches and ears of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, the first bud is not fully developed, and the second or third bud is well developed. When picking, the first bud should be erased and the second and third buds should be kept to play a small pruning role. effect.There are no strong buds on the leaf clusters, and when there are only thin buds, it is difficult to develop into flower branches. Therefore, when picking, most of the leaf clusters should be properly erased, and generally one third should be reserved. Keep it to cultivate into strong fruiting branches, enrich the space, and expand the fruiting part.Try to avoid breaking the oil glands on the surface of Zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit, so as not to affect the quality of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. (note)

Tian Zhou started picking and pruning according to his professional knowledge.

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum here is estimated to be 40 to [-] years old, with a height of more than six meters and a large yield of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. It is a good variety of Zanthoxylum bungeanum.

Tian Zhou gave the small ladder to Angus, and climbed up the branch like a monkey.Seeing that Angus showed a dumbfounded expression again.Tian Zhou grew up in the mountains, and there are few trees near his home that he has never climbed.Climbing trees, swimming, catching cicadas, crabs... are all the daily entertainment of children in the mountains.

Tian Zhou's speed was very fast. He had a cloth bag tied around his waist, and he shuttled lightly between the branches of the tree. The prickly ash fruit was picked up by him, and he slid down and put it into the cloth bag.After filling a bag, climb down again to change the empty bag.

Tianzhou climbed up and down, slipping like a monkey, while Angus sat on the ladder doubting life.

Tianzhou and Angus worked hard for a long time, and finally packed and shipped all the peppercorns back home.And spread them out to dry in the shade at home.

Tian Zhou was sweating all over, he naturally grabbed the collar and shook the wind.Angus looked down from a high position beside him, just in time to see Tian Zhou's fair chest, which was already faintly red.He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hot? Angus."

"Huh?...Hungry." Angus avoided Tian Zhou's sight and touched his stomach.

It's already past lunch time, Tian Zhou is often too busy to eat, so he doesn't feel much, but Angus, a big man, is obviously not able to resist hunger.

"Come on, let's have potatoes for lunch!" Tian Zhou rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

Originally, Angus wanted to say that potatoes were not tasty, but thinking of the face-slapping incident last night, he obediently shut up.

After Tian Zhou washed the potatoes, he set up two pots, one pot was directly steamed potatoes, and the other pot was filled with water.

The pot of pouring water is used to make French fries. After the potatoes are peeled, cut into strips, boil water, and put in French fries.Then cook for 3 minutes and remove to remove surface moisture.Then heat the oil in the pan, put in the French fries, turn on the low heat and fry slowly until golden brown and remove.

The french fries came out of the pan quickly, and in the absence of salt, pepper and ketchup, they could only be eaten with a little salt.

"Angus."

Angus quickly took the plate, and swallowed a few potatoes in one gulp.

"Hot." QAQ.

Looking at Angus' tears, Tian Zhou quickly handed him a glass of cold water. "Didn't I say it many times?! Slow down, why are you always impatient!"

The old father Tianzhou was heartbroken.

Having learned his lesson, Angus quietly sat aside and ate French fries slowly.Tianzhou dipped in salt and took two bites and then he didn't want to eat it. French fries without ketchup are soulless.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Zhou quickly fried a plate of shredded potatoes. He deliberately put a few peppercorns in it, but unfortunately there was no vinegar, so he had to retreat and fry a plate of shredded spicy potatoes.

When the shredded potatoes were given to Angus, the other party saw the slices of peppercorns and resisted very much, obviously not coming out of the shadow of eating peppercorns directly last time.

Tian Zhou first took a chopstick and ate it by himself, and then justified the name of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, "This is the correct way to eat Zanthoxylum bungeanum. It's no wonder you didn't feel numb when you ate it last time. Come, try it, eat shredded potatoes, it's delicious."

Angus was dubious, and took a fork to fork some potato shreds.

The unique fragrance of potatoes has a slightly spicy feeling, which makes the original plain potatoes have a different taste.

Angus was surprised, and unconsciously took the plate and forked it to eat.

A plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes soon bottomed out, and Angus ate more and more. This slightly spicy feeling jumped on his tongue, bringing him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Seeing Angus' satisfied face, Tian Zhou smiled gratifiedly.Sure enough, he is a good kid who is not picky eaters.

The steamed potatoes in the pot were also cooked, Tian Zhou carefully took them out, peeled them and mashed them into a puree in a bowl.If the materials are complete, you can make mashed potatoes, but now you can only make potato cakes.After adding an appropriate amount of sugar, the mashed potatoes were kneaded into balls and then pressed into cakes. Because there was no flour to neutralize them, it was relatively loose. Tian Zhou quickly put the potato cakes into the oil pan one by one before they fell apart. With a sound of 'stab', the potato cakes instantly turned golden brown in the oil pan, and the high-temperature oil bubbles rolled, wrapping the potato cakes tightly.

Tianzhou saw the timing and quickly took the fried potato cakes out of the oil pan, and then fried the potato cakes on the panel one by one until golden, then took them out and put them on the plate.After Tianzhou fried all the potato cakes, he turned around and saw Angus holding a plate of shredded potatoes in one hand, quickly scooping the shredded potatoes into his mouth with a fork in the other hand, and stretching his neck to try to look at him.Typical eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.

"Can you still eat?" Angus had already eaten a large plate of French fries and shredded potatoes, and Tian Zhou was a little worried that he would be full.

"Eat! I can eat it!" Angus kept his eyes on the potato cakes.

can eat?That is full?

Tian Zhou picked up two potato pancakes and put them in Angus's bowl, "I can only eat two for you, and you will be full if you eat any more. I put the rest in the kitchen cabinet, and you can eat them later."

Angus nodded obediently.

After eating, Tian Zhou took another look at his diced potato seedlings. It was too early to see the tips of the sprouts, but the humidity and temperature were right, so they would germinate quickly.Potato sprouts can only go to the ground when they grow to 2 to 3 centimeters, and the cultivation time from cutting into pieces to seedling emergence is about 20 days, and with the addition of the plant-accelerated nutrient solution in the future, the time can be doubled.

After watching Tudou, Tian Zhou went back to surf the Internet.He wants to quickly understand the world and integrate into the world through the Internet.The only fortunate thing is that because of the memory of the original owner, words and language are not a problem, and he also knows the common sense of society, so he will not become an illiterate who doesn't know anything when he comes to the future.

Angus snuggled up on his couch and watched TV.Because Angus ran out without a bracelet, he is a black household now, Tianzhou can only buy him an electronic product like an iPad for him to play by himself.As for the problem of Angus traveling without a bracelet in the future, I don't know if this world can get a black card.

Tianzhou followed several agricultural professors on Tianwang, and there were some agricultural posts.It's just that the lack of knowledge disappointed him. There are a lot of wrong common sense on an agricultural forum, and the forum managers don't know if they don't know, and they have never corrected these problems.Tianzhou sighed, the future of agriculture will really decline.

However, among these messy posts, Tian Zhou still found a very useful post.

Offer a reward for collecting unknown species in the wild!

In this world, there are people with strong spiritual power who go to the wild to experience all the year round, and they will also take orders to find wild species by the way.

Tian Zhou's eyes lit up, and according to the link provided by the host, he jumped to a website called Global Rewards. There are many rewarding modules on it, one of which is the field experience hiring group.At first glance, it seems that there are posts by some field enthusiasts to go to the field to practice in groups. There are many photos in the posts about the field conditions in this world.Tian Zhou looked at them one by one.

At first, Tianzhou thought that the other unnamed areas were undeveloped lands overgrown with weeds like Area 99, and the most dangerous was just like the rain forests and grasslands in his previous life, with a large number of dangerous wild animals.But looking at the post now, he obviously underestimated the danger of this world.

Humans in this world have evolved to have spiritual power, so some animals and plants have naturally evolved.The ecological environment of Blue Star and Earth is basically the same. Many animals and plants can be said to be exactly the same, but some of these identical animals and plants have evolved.Tian Zhou saw that some wolves in the wild had evolved sharp fangs, tigers were twice the size, and hedgehogs' thorns could kill people... From such a rough look, Tian Zhou couldn't help worrying about the safety of the nearby mountains and forests, although He's been there a few times and hasn't encountered any danger, but what if?If a mutated tiger, wolf, or something pops out, won't he be cold on the spot?Be careful next time, bring some equipment and go.

To place an order on this field experience website, you must first provide a picture or description of the item.

After Tian Zhou looked at the general rules, he went offline to draw.

Tianzhou's drawing level is average, but this world has a drawing assistance system, which can not only improve the beauty of your picture, but also draw the general shape with your text description.Relying on his general drawing skills and detailed text descriptions, Tian Zhou finally drew two pictures first, namely ginger and tomato.Ginger is a necessary seasoning, so Tian Zhou chose it first, and tomatoes are obviously not a species that can be produced in his 99 area, so he plans to cast a large fishing net.Both of these are experiments, he first needs to test the reliability of this website.

The reward post was quickly sent out, and the browsing data has been rising. Some people also replied that they would pay attention in the wild.

Tian Zhou stretched his waist and planned to continue drawing. After seeing this reward website, he had the idea to draw all the fruits and vegetables.

A furry head suddenly poked out from behind Tian Zhou, and Angus watched quietly for a long time. He saw that Tian Zhou had finally finished his work, so he stepped in and asked, "Tian Tian, ​​do you want these?"

Tian Zhou felt more and more that Angus was just a soft and cute big golden retriever, so he couldn't help but rubbed Angus' soft hair.

"Yes, they are all for food. I have to draw a lot, and when we plant them, there will be a lot of delicious food."

Angus sat next to Tian Zhou, leaned on the table and looked at Tian Zhou, the meaning was very clear, he wanted to watch Tian Zhou draw.

"Okay, just watch, and you'll get to know each other when you see it." Tian Zhou called up the drawing software and began to draw seriously.

Tian Zhou first painted vegetables and fruits that are common and can be grown locally in District 99.

Cabbage, eggplant, lentils, peas, pumpkin, winter squash, lettuce, loofah, watermelon, cherries...

There are too many things, Tianzhou has a lot of things in his mind, but it's a pity that the speed in his hands is not up to par.He preliminarily estimated that if he didn't work in the ground and only painted, he could only paint about a dozen a day.The future is bleak.
