There is almost no grass in the ground now. It must have been hoeed in the past two days.

Li You likes to eat freshly unearthed peanuts. Although it’s not yet time to harvest peanuts, you should be able to start eating them.

So, now that I have arrived at my own peanut field, I must pull up a peanut plant and take a look.

If the soil is relatively soft, you don't need to dig with a hoe. You can just grab the peanut seedlings and pull them out.

Li You looked at this piece of land and found that it was no problem to just pull it with his hands.

Choosing a peanut seedling that grew well, Li You grabbed all the peanut seedlings together with both hands, and then lifted it up with force.

Without much effort, the entire peanut plant was uprooted.

The peanuts are very good, there are dozens of them, and they look very pleasant.

But most of them still look young, and only a few look older.

After all, it’s still a little too early.

However, it would be nice to have some that you can eat. Li You was very happy and picked one that looked older.

Remove the soil on the surface of the peanut shell and peel it open. The peanut kernels inside have grown fatter, but are still very tender.

Put the peanut kernels into your mouth. They are a bit tender, but they are barely edible.

And the taste is pretty good.

Li You likes to eat these newly unearthed peanuts the most.

Not bad, keep eating.

Speaking of peanuts, many people think that peanuts are formed on the roots of peanut seedlings.

But it’s not.

Although peanuts grow in the soil, they are not attached to the roots of the peanut seedlings. Instead, after the fruit needles growing on the peanut seedlings fall into the soil, the ovary develops in the soil.

After peanuts bloom, their ovaries will form a special needle-like shape in the flower tube, called "fruit needles".

The fruit needle will fall into the soil, and then the ovary will develop and grow into a peanut fruit.

At the same time, the ovary stalk that connects the ovary to the plant will gradually grow thicker, and finally looks like a root. At the same time, it also makes the peanut look like it is knotted on the root.

Precisely because of the process of "needle dropping", peanuts are also called peanuts.

At the same time, this is also the reason why it is best to choose sandy loam soil with strong air permeability and good looseness for planting peanuts.

Because the soil is loose and has good air permeability, it is more conducive to the penetration of fruit needles into the soil and the development of pods in the soil.

If the soil is too hard and it is difficult for the fruit needles to fall into the soil, or only a small number of fruit needles can penetrate into the soil, then the peanuts will definitely not set well.

Li You took the peanut seedlings and walked to another field while eating them.

On the way, I finished all the older peanuts. The rest were too tender to eat.

However, Li You did not throw away the peanut seedlings, but planned to take them home to feed the rabbits.

These peanut seedlings are very tender and rabbits like to eat them.

Soon after, we arrived at another piece of land. This time, my parents were both here.

This is a corn field and a sweet potato field. It is an intercropping of corn and sweet potato.

This planting method is very common here, and many people plant it this way.

Mom and dad are plowing the sweet potato vines.

If the sweet potato vine grows too well, it needs to be pruned properly.

"Dad, Mom!" Li You shouted.

After seeing Li You, mom and dad asked: "Why are you back?"

Li You said: "Miss Ye brought some morels for you, and I will send them back to you."

As he said that, he also briefly talked about going to Lin Zhonghai’s house to buy morels yesterday.

After her parents understood what had happened, they were very happy. Ye Shengge spent 2,000 yuan a pound to buy morels and even gave them part of them. What a nice girl?

"Thank you Miss Ye for us." Mom said to Li You.

Li You said: "Thank you already."

"I'd like to thank you again." Mom said again.

Li You nodded, "Okay, I'll call her this afternoon. I won't call her now, she's driving now."

"Okay, okay, I'll fight in the afternoon, don't forget."

"No."

"Where did you get the peanuts?" Mom asked again after seeing the peanut seedlings in Li You's hand.

"Jianjiao soil, we can barely eat it in our own fields." Li You said.

"Just pick it up at this time, and you will be very delicious all day long." My mother was also very helpless, because it was really a waste to pick up the peanuts at this time.

Li You smiled and said: "Peanuts are grown to be eaten. They are eaten in the morning and in the evening. Oh, by the way, these corns were taken by Uncle Liang who met me on the road. He took them back and burned them.

”

Mom nodded and said: "Then you can get him some bananas later."

Li You nodded, "Okay."

Mom added: "We can also pick out some relatively tender corn from the corn field on the other side of the stone factory. The corn in that field was planted late. You can pick some and take them to the store.

You can cook it slowly and eat it, or grill it and eat it."

Li You nodded again, "Then I'll find some later."

He suddenly remembered that he could put the tender corn in the storage compartment. The tender corn would remain tender inside.

In this way, you can have tender corn to eat at any time.

Otherwise, after all the corn is old, if you want to eat young corn again, you will have to wait until next year.

Corn ages quickly.

The corn in this field is all old. The cobs wrapped around each corn cob have dried and turned yellow.

Like this, we can only wait until the corn is harvested.

Now it’s basically close enough to be collected.

"How long does it take to harvest corn in this land?" Li You asked his parents.

"We'll collect it in another week." Dad said.

Li You nodded, "Okay, call me then."

"Why are I calling you? Your mother and I will collect this corn in a few minutes. You don't have to come back." Dad said.

Dad is now in his prime and speaks with confidence.

"There are two other fields! In addition to the stone factory soil, the corn in the other two fields should be harvestable in a week, right?" Li You said again.

"Then you don't have to come back. Your mother and I will take it easy and concentrate on running your hotel business well." Dad said.

"The hotel's business is already good enough now, and it doesn't need to get any better," Li You said.

Although this little corn should indeed be considered relatively easy for his parents, Li You decided to come back and help when the time comes.

Since we are not far from the village, we still have to come back and help with tasks like harvesting corn, peanuts, and rice.

Now, let’s go back.

Mom and dad no longer plow the sweet potato vines, they are going back too.

They were anxious to go back and take a look at the morels given by Ye Shengge.

It’s not because of how precious or valuable the morels are. It’s because of the fact that the morels were given by Ye Shengge.

So, the three of them walked home together.

After returning home, Li You put the peanut seedlings and corn aside temporarily, then took out the morels given by Ye Shengge and showed them to his parents.

My parents were very happy after seeing it.
