This texture, this taste, Duan Jie chewed, carefully savoring the three plates of garlic and green vegetables in front of him.Of the three dishes, one was from the farm, one was from his experimental field, and the other was normal greens grown by other people in the village.After tasting all three dishes, Duan Jie found that the taste of the farm's dishes was much better, while the taste of the dishes in the experimental field was not as good, but compared with the vegetables grown by other people, there was still a significant difference in taste.

All right, Duan Jie put down the chopsticks in his hand.This alone can prove that the taste of the vegetable grown on the farm is obviously better than those common vegetable grown outside. That is to say, the farm does have the function of improving seeds.

The improved seeds can be given to the villagers to plant, not only vegetables, but also wheat and corn.Compared with vegetables, everyone will be more willing to grow food.And the excuse is even more readily available, that is, an acquaintance in Guangshantang was entrusted to bring it from outside. Anyway, no one in this village knows the person over there.The quality of the crops planted is good, and everyone can benefit.As for him, one can slightly conceal the crops on the farm so that they won’t be too conspicuous; According to the seed price on the market, this is much safer than selling vegetables alone, and it also makes a lot of money, so everyone is happy.

But forget it this year, everyone has already planted something in the fields, and the planting time has been missed.But after the wheat is harvested, we can get some corn seeds for everyone to plant.By the way, he can also grow some sweet potatoes on the farm, and distribute some sweet potato seedlings later.The sweet potatoes that Aunt Wang gave last year were very good. If some were grown in the farm, the taste should be even better.

But now, he wants to let the villagers know how delicious the vegetables in his vegetable field are.This will make it easier for him to sell his seeds in the future.Thinking about it, Duan Jie went to the vegetable field to pick a few baskets of vegetables, and sent them to a few families he knew well.Aunt Song's family also planted the vegetables given by Duan Jie this year, so they didn't give them away, and the rest of the other families gave some over.

As the saying goes, if you compare people, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away. This saying is also suitable for the dishes Duan Jie sent.Those families tasted the dishes Duan Jie sent, and then ate their own dishes, why did they feel that the taste was a lot worse, and they tasted tasteless.In less than two days, Aunt Wang specially went to Duan Jie's field to beg for a basket of green vegetables back home.

When she was begging for vegetables, many people saw her.There are still a lot of people doing good things in the countryside, so someone asked, "Aunt Wang, don't you grow vegetables at home, why do you go to Shige'er's field to ask for it?" "Yes" "Aunt Wang really knows how to live" everyone They laughed out loud.

What do these people say? Are they saying that she took advantage of Yu Shi? Aunt Wang snorted and replied: "This is a vegetable that Shi'er specially found and grown from high-quality seeds. You can't buy it if you have money, but it's specially made." Let our family taste it."

"What kind of food is so expensive, let me take a look." Qian Shi was one of the people who were joking around just now, and now he got out and picked up Aunt Wang's vegetable basket, "Tch, isn't this what we eat? Vegetables, what kind of good vegetables are there." As he spoke, he burst out laughing.

"Go, you won't know if you don't eat this dish." Aunt Wang didn't bother to chat with this group of good women, so she turned around and went home with a vegetable basket.

Not long after Aunt Wang walked, she saw another aunt who was close to Yu Shixiang also came to pick vegetables with a basket on her shoulders. He likes to take advantage of small things, why did he go to Yu Shi's field to pick vegetables today, "Is his food really so delicious?" "I want to try some, Aunt Zhang, please borrow this basket first." I'll use it." Qian Shi has always been the first to take advantage of things, and will not give up.

"Brother Shi, you're busy." Qian stood by the vegetable field and greeted Duan Jie.

Duan Jie was tying the crooked cucumber frame over there, when he heard someone shouting from behind, he turned his head and saw that it was the biggest mouth in the village, Mrs. Qian.Just when she needed to promote it, this guy ran over by himself, which was really fast enough.

"Sister Qian, what's the matter?" Duan Jie straightened up and thumped his back.

"Brother Shi, I heard that the vegetables in your field are different from those grown by other people. Sister-in-law pick some and try something new." Qian Shi said, and before Duan Jie could reply, she jumped down and picked them quickly. The dishes are served.

Originally, he just wanted to let everyone taste these dishes, so that people could believe that the seeds in his hands were different.Duan Jie didn't care, Qian picked a whole basket, pressed it with his hands, and picked a few more before stopping in satisfaction.

After Mrs. Qian left for a while, Duan Jie had almost done the work in the field. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Duan Jie went to the shade of the tree to go home together.Under the shade of the tree sat two daughters-in-law from the same village with their two children.The two children were a little older, about two years old.After this morning, the three little guys have become familiar with each other.Tuantuan played with those two children and forgot to be his father's follower.

The words of these three babies are still not very clear, but the chat is full of enthusiasm.From a distance, you can hear the three little ones talking words that adults can't understand at all, and they are quite happy chatting by themselves.

"Tuantuan, go home for dinner." Duan Jie picked up the little guy, it's getting heavier and heavier.

"Brother Shi, go back." A daughter-in-law asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm going back to eat. It's almost noon, and Mrs. Wu hasn't gone back yet." Duan Jie replied casually.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, it's my sister-in-law's cooking today. Brother Shi, sister-in-law heard that the vegetables in your vegetable field are different from other vegetables, why are they different?" Sister-in-law Wu looked at Duan Jie and asked .

"It's nothing different. It's just that I asked someone to get some vegetables. I said they were delicious. I just want to plant them for a season first. If it's the same as what the person said, I'll ask him Get some more seeds and come back, I heard that the grain seeds in that place are also good, they can harvest a lot, and they are also drought-tolerant. If it works, I want to try it too." Duan Jie took advantage of the situation and said what he had already made up.

"Brother Shi, if the grain is really good, remember to buy some for my sister-in-law." Sister-in-law Wu said with a smile.

Duan Jie hugged the somewhat impatient Tuantuan, seeing that his father had been chatting with others, the little guy just didn't want to leave, so he tried to come down and continue playing, "Sure, Mrs. Wu, if you want to eat vegetables, go to my field to pick them. It's delicious."

"Okay, you can go back quickly." "Sister-in-law, I'll go first." Duan Jie said goodbye to everyone, and slapped Tuantuan's buttocks, "Talking to people is troublesome, remember, from now on Daddy will talk to people It’s not allowed to do that.”

Tuantuan rubbed Duan Jie against his face, and nibbled on his father's face with his small mouth to show his favor.

The next day, when Duan Jie went to the vegetable field, he found that some of the vegetables in his own vegetable field had been picked slightly.But I don't care much about it. People in the village just think it's delicious, and they won't pick it up endlessly just to take advantage of it.

The speed of rumors was still very fast. In the morning when Duan Jie was watering, two or three people had already come to him to beg for vegetables.According to this speed, Duan Jie felt that people in the village would spread the news within two or three days.

Sure enough, several people came to ask Duan Jie about the vegetables in the afternoon, and Duan Jie didn't dare to give too much. After all, there must be people who asked later, and one of them gave some enough to grow for their own food, saying that it was for them Try it, and said that after the wheat harvest, he will ask someone to buy corn seed, which is said to be an excellent grain seed.

Good vegetables don't mean good grain. Most people only asked for some vegetables. As for the grain that Duan Jie said he wanted to buy, few people dared to ask for it.Duan Jie is not in a hurry, anyway, after the vegetables are harvested, he will plant some corn in the field, using the seeds left on the farm.At that time, those corns will definitely surprise these villagers.Of course, Aunt Song's family will also give it, and let them plant it with her.

At the beginning of March, one of Duan Jie's ewes had a calf.This lamb was born at night, and it didn't take much effort.When Sang Feng came out to herd the sheep the next morning, he was shocked to find that there was an extra lamb feeding in the sheep pen.

"Brother Yu, it's born. Brother Yu, it's born." Sang Feng was so happy that he was almost incoherent. He had been waiting for these lambs for a long time.

Duan Jie was startled by the sentence that Brother Yu gave birth, "What happened!"

"Our sheep gave birth." Sang Feng looked excited.

After giving birth to lambs, although Duan Jie was happy, he would not be like Sang Feng, "How many lambs were born?"

"One." Sang Feng said, and ran out again, preparing to feed the sheep.Duan Jie yawned and went out to see the lamb.

The one who is most excited about the addition of a lamb at home is actually not Sang Feng, but Tuantuan.The little guy had to squat there to watch the lambs while eating, and when Duan Jie finished cleaning the kitchen and was about to go to work in the field, he didn't plan to leave the sheepfold.

"Baa, baa." Tuantuan hummed in Duan Jie's arms, "Okay, I'll give you a baa when I get back." Duan Jie coaxed.

After a while, a certain group said, "Baa, what are you looking for." "Wait until daddy finishes his work."

"Meh." "Wait!"

Just like that, I went all the way with Duan Jie.In the end Duan Jie wanted to scratch the wall when he heard the word baa.

There were a total of three sheep that were bred for the first time, and the remaining two gave birth to a lamb each within two days, making Tuantuan and Sang Feng very happy.

After the three lambs were weaned, Duan Jie began to feed Tuan Tuan with goat milk every day.As for the three sheep, they can squeeze several catties of milk a day, which is enough for the whole family to drink.It's a pity that during the recent period, Tuantuan is used to eating all kinds of delicious food made by his father, such as fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables, and eats them in different ways every day. This little guy resolutely refuses to drink this kind of goat milk.

Duan Jie wanted to give away the goat milk, but there were not many families in the village willing to take it. Except for the newborn baby, no one wanted to drink the goat milk.In the end, Duan Jie could only put all the goat milk into the warehouse of the ranch, preparing to make desserts for the summer fruits.
