Since the last heavy rains, after sowing, it has rained several times in the past half month.

Although the rain is not as heavy as the previous ones, it is enough to meet the needs of these crops and the temperature is high.

Under the dual catalysis of the twin brothers of temperature and humidity, the seeds have already taken root and sprouted. The green of hope has emerged from the ground, and the fields are full of vitality.

In addition to the germination of seeds, weeds, the mortal enemy of grain, have also grown. Now the villagers are busy again, weeding and applying fertilizers.

While the soil is still moist and crops can absorb it easily, apply some more farmyard manure.

Some villagers who work in the workshops do not have much labor at home, so they go to the fields early in the morning to work.

I go to the workshop to work when the time is almost up. After work, I have to go to the fields for a walk before going home. I am busy like a top.

Although busy, everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts because the crops planted in the fields give them hope for survival.

Now the villagers' faces are no longer as gloomy as before, but instead they are filled with smiles from ear to ear.

Now, the villages in the surrounding area are almost harmonious. Most villagers greet each other by saying, "So-and-so, the peanuts and cassava you planted are growing really well!"

"Your kind is not bad. The seedlings grow so evenly and the weeds are pulled out so cleanly."

"How can the crops in your fields be as good as the ones growing in your fields? Besides, there are many people in your family, and the fertilizer is plenty. When the harvest comes, don't let your back bend under the weight of this carrying pole, hahahaha..."

Shen Ping's family only had four or five acres of land before. Although they grew crops in their own space, there were many people in the family, including nearly 20 servants, so they needed a lot of food every day.

Besides, there are more than ten servants in the family now, and there are eight or nine young and strong men alone, who need dozens of kilograms of food a day.

Even if I take some food out of the space in the future, with these fields, I will have a clear way out.

Besides, in addition to growing crops, this land also grows some peppers and some miscellaneous crops, so these few acres of land are not enough. It is necessary to buy more land.

Besides, it has rained now, so there is no need to worry about water. Thinking of this, Shen Ping went to the village chief to buy another 20 acres of high-quality farmland a while ago.

These days, Dadong has been working in the fields with Shitou, Goutou, Hammer and other servants, and they have all become dark-skinned.

When these slaves were first bought, they were all skinny and malnourished. Some were less than 20 years old, but now that they had good food, they grew taller and stronger like inflated balloons.

The Zhang family now has 25 acres of land, on which they grow three acres of peppers, two acres of cassava, five acres of corn, three acres of peanuts, and a few acres of kudzu root.

In addition, there are sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are also planted on several acres, and two acres of green vegetables are specially planted.

Dadong was born in a poor family and was an expert in farming. It was right for Shen Ping to hand over the land to him.

But these crops are the lifeblood of the farmers. Although Shen Ping is relieved, she doesn't want Dachun and Sanchun to throw away these crops for the sake of doing business.

Therefore, I always remind them to visit the fields more often when they are free, because after all, they are the owners of these lands.

Now that there are so many fields at home, they are completely handed over to these servants. Achun and the others are afraid that if they are not managed well, there will be no harvest. So even without Shen Ping's reminder, they will go to check on the fields from time to time.

Seeing that Dadong managed the fields in an orderly manner, I felt relieved.

At this moment, Erya suddenly remembered that she had found the ground melon on the mountain.

I remembered that I seemed to have saved some ground melon seeds at that time, so I searched for my old clothes, but I didn't expect that the clothes were still there.

I still have two or three seeds in my pocket. I don’t know if the current climate is suitable for planting them, and whether these seeds can germinate.

Erya gave the seeds to Shen Ping. After listening to Erya's description, Shen Ping thought that this thing might be the product called yam in her era.

But she had never seen this kind of seed before, and didn’t know if it was true. If it was, that would be really great.

This thing can be eaten raw as fruit, it is sweet and juicy, and can also be used to stir-fry meat. Considering that it is unknown whether the seeds will go bad, Shen Ping planted the seeds in the space.

There were 24 beans in total in the three pods. Shen Ping planted them all. After just one night, all 24 beans sprouted and grew about ten centimeters taller.

Finally, the black soil experiment in space proved that this root crop does not mature in 24 hours in space.

When the wild melon seedlings grow to more than one meter high, they must be topped, otherwise the melon will not grow large underground and six or seven bunches of bean pods will grow on the top.

It takes 48 hours for the earth melon to be picked. Shen Ping pulled it out and saw that it was indeed the yam that people in her generation talked about. She didn't expect Erya to find this thing here.

Shen Ping picked all the bean pods and counted them. There were nearly a hundred pods in total, which meant there were nearly 800 seeds.

It's already the end of October, and I don't know if the climate is suitable for planting, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

To be on the safe side, Shen Ping left five or six bean pods in the space, because she was afraid that the seeds would not be able to be planted and would go bad, so she deliberately kept some of them. She took out the others and planned to plant them in the field herself.

Early in the morning, Shen Ping changed into casual clothes, put on a hat, and went to the fields fully armed.

Originally, Dadong asked Shen Ping to go back, saying that he and several other servants could farm, but Shen Ping was worried.

"Ma'am, what kind of seeds are these? I've never seen beans like this before."

"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. So, will the beans you grow bean? And will they taste good?" Looking at the beans in Shen Ping's hand, Shi Tou asked a series of questions curiously.

"Ha ha……"

You reap what you sow. After hearing what Shi Tou said, Shen Ping couldn't help but laugh.

Shitou is younger than Sanchun and is an orphan. Unable to survive during the famine, he sold himself to a pawnshop.

It was no wonder that he asked such a question, after all, he had never grown anything before. Moreover, the wild melon had not been discovered in this era, and even Dadong might not know about it.

Thinking of this, Shen Ping turned her head and looked at Dadong who was planting carefully beside her: "Dadong, do you know what kind of seeds these are?"

As expected, Dadong also shook his head: "I really have never seen it, and I don't know if the beans are delicious."

"How about? Let me try..." As he said that, Shi Tou wanted to throw the beans into his mouth.

"Hey……"

Shen Ping quickly reached out to stop him: "Don't eat it! It's poisonous!"

She seemed to remember that she had introduced this thing in a short video. The leaves and beans of this wild melon are poisonous.
