Soldier's Assault: Rebirth of the Fifth Squad Leader on the Grassland

Chapter 153 Potato Planting Success!

Except for tomato seeds, other vegetable seeds are not bought in whole bags, they are all selected scattered vegetable seeds.

The reason why he bought a whole pack of tomato seeds was Ma Zhi's special request to the veterans who wanted to give them away, because Ma Chi couldn't be sure that the trial planting of other vegetable seeds was successful, but the tomatoes were basically certain.

The reason why Ma Zhi affirmed Tomato was an accident.

It is the supplies they deliver, and occasionally some tomatoes.

And once, after the tomatoes were served, the members of the fifth class who were very tired from digging the tactical training field were too tired to move at that time, so Lao Wei, who was arranged to cook, took the tomatoes and distributed them as fruits for everyone to eat.

At that time, everyone was still on the construction site of the tactical training ground, and no one knew who ate the tomato juice and spilled it on the ground, and the tomato seeds that were splashed subsequently germinated just like that.

Ma Zhi also inadvertently discovered the tomato seedlings that had sprouted in the tactical training ground, which confirmed that the experimental tomato seedlings were feasible.

At that time, he removed those seedlings and moved them to the edge of his vegetable field, and those tomato seedlings were also very competitive, and they really survived.

And it was after seeing those tomato seedlings that Ma Zhicai specially asked Song Jiyang's veterans to help him buy tomato seeds. The edges are planted.

The area for planting tomatoes is very small, less than half a square meter. This is not because Ma Zhi is stingy. The main reason for planting tomatoes is to concentrate seedlings first, and then transplant seedlings separately.

In addition to planting a small piece of tomato, a small piece of pepper was also planted at the boundary of the tomato.

Of course, the chili seeds were not bought for him by the veterans who gave them to him. These chili seeds were already in the 5th squad of their grassland.

It's not that any veteran of their prairie squad 5 wanted to grow vegetables here and prepared pepper seeds. This pepper seed is one of the seasonings used by their prairie squad 5.

It is made from the dried chilies that are usually delivered by the 5th class of their grassland. Because the box containing the dried chilis, I don’t know how many times the dried chilis have been added. Instead, the seeds that were missing from the dried chilis fell into a layer.

Naturally, Ma Zhi would not use the seeds that were left out in it as seasonings, although the chili oil would be more fragrant if the chili seeds were mixed with some dried chili, and the chili oil could be grown, which would be even more effective.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Ma Zhi is unwilling to waste money on vegetable seeds. After all, if he is not sure whether the trial planting of peppers will be successful, it is better to try this kind of seeds that do not cost money first.

For a while, he didn't pay much attention to the situation of the vegetable field behind the kitchen. Now, Ma Zhi wanted to go and see the specific situation of the vegetable field.

After leaving the warehouse, Ma Zhi only thought about walking to the back of the kitchen.

In fact, the vegetable field behind the kitchen has already exceeded the size of the firehouse, and you can see it even if you don't walk over it.

And Xu Sanduo also followed Ma Zhi. During this period of time, Xu San has been assigned too many cooking tasks. He has basically accepted his fate and feels that he can already take on the cooking duties of Class 5. What's more, cooking today Even better, Old Wei wasn't there either.

Now that he has decided that he is needed to cook, he must go and see. If he decides which vegetables to use, he can also pick some.

He didn't go all the way to the edge of the vegetable field, and the entire green vegetable garden came into view.

But after walking in and looking at the past, it is different, because only when you get close can you see the distribution of the vegetable fields.

Although this vegetable field is not big, it has been divided very neatly, one by one. Although the sizes of these several vegetable fields are not the same, they are combined into one big square.

And if you look at it from this edge, the vegetable field is no longer full of green, but also white and yellow.

The yellow ones are the least, these are the few rapeseed seedlings mixed into it at some unknown time, but the rapeseed seedlings grow the tallest, with some yellow flowers already appearing on them.

Because there are too few, and because they haven't been completely released, it's really not easy to find these yellow flowers if you don't look carefully.

And the white ones have far more yellow flowers than the few rapeseed seedlings mixed in. The white ones are also flowers, and the white flowers are also very small, not much bigger than the rapeseed flowers.

And these white flowers are not obvious from above because they are mixed with green.

Since these white flowers are the flowers on the potato seedlings grown from the earliest potato blocks planted by Mazhi, the potato seedlings are already very large, and a piece of green doll has completely covered the ground below it.

Potato blossoms, and it's also the first time I see Ma Zhi.

Although Ma Zhi seems to have lived two lives, it is actually his first time growing potatoes. He only knows how potatoes are grown, but he doesn't know anything else, let alone that potatoes will bloom.

He also knows that the growth cycle of potatoes is not long, and they can mature within three months. The ones he planted have been more than two months since they were replanted, and they are only blooming now. The following details No potatoes came out, he wasn't sure.

"Squad leader, these potatoes are growing quite well. You see so many flowers, so there must be a lot of potatoes."

Seeing the growth of the potato seedlings and the white flowers among the leaves, Xu Sanduo couldn't help saying.

Ma Zhi had heard that the yield of potatoes was quite high, but he had only heard of some statistics on how high it was, but the statistics did not allow her to be sure how many potatoes could be harvested under one potato seedling.

"I hope, I don't expect the yield of these potatoes to be high, as long as they can be planted."

Ma Zhi did not have too much hope for the yield of these potatoes. He wanted to plant these potatoes at the beginning, because these potatoes had sprouted, and the sprouted potatoes were inedible, and it would be a waste to lose them. Try to plant it.

Anyway, it's just to avoid waste, as long as there is some harvest, and the amount they use here is not too large, and there is no need to reach a large amount to be satisfied.

Ma Zhi squatted on the edge of the vegetable field, and looked under the potato seedlings, and happened to see two white potato flowers pressing against his face.

Ma Zhi had never seriously appreciated any flowers before, but this was the first time he had come close to pear blossoms.

It may be that the white potato flowers have attracted his attention, so he began to appreciate them carefully.

Potato flowers are white, and the petals are very pure. Each flower has five petals. This is carefully distinguished by Ma Zhi, because he has seen it several times, and they are all divided into five petals.

And each petal has a pointed head and is slightly bent backwards. It's really hard for Ma Zhi to describe what it looks like.

In the middle of the petals, there is a stamen like a small yellow candle, which is particularly conspicuous, and the petals next to the stamen are painted yellow, which is also very beautiful.

The potato flowers that Ma Zhi saw were basically white. He wasn't sure if all the heads were white, and there might be other colors, but he didn't have any in this area.

As a normal man, he actually doesn't know how to appreciate the beauty of flowers, so after taking a rough look and knowing the specific shape of flowers, Ma Zhi lost interest.

In fact, Ma Zhi squatted down to check the growth of the potatoes below. Although the potatoes are only in the flowering stage now, this does not mean that there are no potatoes growing below.

After all, it has been planted for two months, and the growth cycle of potatoes is only three months. If there are no small potatoes below, there is not a long cycle left. How could the potatoes grow to normal size.

Ma Zhi also knows that the fruits of many plants actually grow small fruits when they bloom, not to mention, for example, cucumbers, watermelons, loofahs, and tomatoes, when they bloom, there are certain flowers. Small fruit grows on the back.

So, wanting to see how the potatoes were growing, Ma Zhi stretched out his hand and scratched under a potato seedling.

He picked it very carefully. After all, he didn't know the growth conditions below. He was afraid that his hands would be too heavy, and if he pulled out the small potatoes that had just grown below.

After pawing a few times, a small piece of yellow and white appeared in his eyes. After seeing this piece of yellow and white, he quickly stopped and looked carefully, and he was sure that it was the outer skin of the first bean.

In order to determine the size of the potato, he carefully used his fingers to gently pull up the soil at the edge.

Soon, the potato was completely exposed. The head was not big, only the size of an egg yolk, and it would take some time before it matured.

Seeing this potato that was only the size of an egg yolk, Ma Zhi showed a gratified smile on his face. Although the potato is not big, it just proves that he planted it successfully.

Even if the potato seedlings are withered at this moment, that's okay, after all, such a small potato is edible.

Xu Sanduo, who was standing next to Ma Zhi, began to curiously move the soil under the potato seedlings to his head. When he saw the small potatoes exposed, he asked Ma Zhi.

"Squad leader, this is the potato."

Hearing Xu Sanduo's question, Ma Zhi turned his head, then he copied Xu Sanduo's smile and said to Xu Sanduo.

"Yes, these are potatoes, but they are still immature and too young, and they need to grow for a while. Anyway, this potato has been successfully planted, and there must be more potatoes than the ones planted."

Xu Sanduo also laughed, and he said: "That's for sure, but such a small potato is quite cute, monitor, why don't we dig it again and see how many potatoes can grow under one."

Although Ma Zhi also wanted to know how many potatoes Yao Xia could grow from this one potato, he still didn't dig it open to see, but filled it back with the soil he dug up.

"It's enough to be sure that the potatoes can be harvested. It doesn't matter how many potatoes can grow. If you open it up and check it, it will only destroy this one potato. Let's forget it. Let's see when it grows completely."
