The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Chapter 73 Cultivating Manglietia

At Chou time on the second day, Lin Dajiang did not get up for the first time.

I didn’t go fishing yesterday, so I don’t need to smoke fish today.

Li Taohua didn't want to call the two little ones, but she didn't expect them to get up earlier than her.

Lin Jingzhe squatted beside Xiaoman, recalling the taste of the pickled fish yesterday, "Xiaoman, are you making pickled fish again today?"

Lin Xiaoman was a little curious. "Since we can catch fish every day, why didn't you catch them before? Even if you don't eat them, you can take them to the market to sell them?"

It’s not like Lin Jingzhe had never caught fish before.

He followed Li Erli, caught some fish and grilled them on the mountain.

But grilled fish requires seasoning. But at Old Lin’s house before, not to mention other things, even the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were locked in the cabinet by grandma.

Without seasoning, the fish will taste fishy.

"Every household steams fish in plain water, which tastes fishy and unpalatable. It's worse than eating black-faced wild vegetable porridge."

Lin Xiaoman then realized that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

It turns out that the Lin family is not a special case. Every household in Shanglin Village lives on a diet of little salt, little oil, and little water.

It would never happen in Shanglin Village that they ate up a whole pot of fish and meat like they did yesterday.

Not to mention big fish and meat, even the onions, ginger and garlic used for cooking are limited every day and cannot be moved.

No wonder they would quarrel over a steamed bun; it’s all because of poverty.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. After the eldest and second sons gave all they had to support the third son's studies, the balance in the family still tilted towards the beneficiaries.

What does this make the other side of the scale think?

Lin Xiaoman thought of the bird eggs that Lin Jingzhe had hidden when he first came here, and nodded, "If you want to eat them, go grab them and I'll cook them for you."

Li Taohua scolded Lin Jingzhe, "Don't order your sister to work every day. If you want to eat, learn to cook it yourself."

Lin Jingzhe was willing to compromise on anything for the sake of his stuttering. "Okay, Xiaoman, teach me. I'll cook for you guys in the future."

Lin Xiaoman nodded in agreement. Why not have someone to learn cooking from?

After she has taught her brother how to do things, he will be responsible for catching, killing and cooking fish. She will be so happy and relieved!

Today, Lin Xiaoman and Li Taohua made three buckets of frozen treats.

After yesterday's lesson, Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to do anything more.

After cooling the food and covering it with gauze, the three of them returned to the room to take a nap.

Lin Xiaoman flashed into the space and wanted to take a nap, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Over and over again, the bustling scenes of Jialin County described by my third uncle kept coming to my mind.

If we want to sell frozen food in Jialin County next year, the magnolia fruits we had in Xinghuaao may not be enough.

Moreover, the magnolia fruit grows in Xinghuaao, so if anything unexpected happens, it will be troublesome.

That......

Can she cultivate magnolia fruit?

When planting plants, the first way is to cultivate them directly from seeds, the second way is to try to cut off the branches and bury them in the soil to take roots, and the third way is grafting.

The third type of grafting was too difficult, she had no idea how to do it, but she could try the first and second ones.

She already had the magnolia seeds. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman's sleepiness completely disappeared. She flashed out of the space to take some magnolia seeds, and then couldn't wait to enter the space again.

When it comes to growing plants, she’s not a novice.

After all, the hydrangeas and crops in the yard were all planted by her.

But in the past, I had a mobile phone in my hand, so I had nothing to fear. If I encountered something I didn’t know how to do, I could just look it up online.

But now it’s different. I’m completely in the dark and need to try and explore everything.

Lin Xiaoman soaked the magnolia fruit seeds in water.

No matter whether it is suitable for sowing now or not, just try it in the space and plant it outside if it succeeds.

After soaking for more than an hour, Lin Xiaoman found a potted plant in the back garden and filled it with soil.

She didn't dare to compact the soil too tightly, so she sprinkled magnolia seeds on it, covered it with a layer of soil, moistened the soil with a spray bottle, and placed it in the corner.

In addition, after returning from town today, she will go to Xinghuaao to cut some annual tender branches to try the cutting method.

Speaking of cuttings, she took a lot of cuttings of hydrangeas and roses, and almost all of them survived.

For hydrangea and rose cuttings, choose newly flowering branches, cut off the top flowers, and leave branches with two buds.

Remove the leaves at one tooth point and cut them diagonally with scissors. Keep the leaves at the other tooth point and cut off half a leaf on each side.

Insert it into loose and soft soil, water it alternately between dry and wet, and capillary roots will grow soon.

In one spring, if you keep topping the hydrangea, the cuttings will grow to five to six branches.

The hydrangeas she grafted herself are usually used for free raffles in the live broadcast room and are mailed to fans.

The branches of Magnolia fruit should be similar, right?

Lin Xiaoman came out of the space and saw Lin Jingzhe going out with a backpack on his back.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Hit the rabbit grass."

Lin Jingzhe thought Xiaoman would go with him. He wanted to refuse, but then he heard Xiaoman waving, "Go ahead!"

He pursed his lips and walked away unhappily.

Lin Xiaoman wandered into the kitchen and heard Li Taohua mumbling.

"Is the flour in this flour jar being used up so slowly?"

I have made white flour pancakes and cold noodles several times these days. How come there is still so much white flour?

Li Taohua even rubbed her tired eyes to make sure she saw it correctly.

"Why do I feel more than last night?"

Lin Xiaoman wanted to step back, but the sharp-eyed Li Taohua walked up to her and said, "Xiaoman, come and take a look. Why is there more and more white flour?"

Lin Xiaoman pretended to take a look at the jar of flour and felt guilty.

"No way? Mother, there is no such good thing in the world. How can you eat more and more white flour? How is it possible?"

"Too."

Li Taohua thought that the illusion was caused by being too tired from getting up early to make frozen food recently.

She didn't think about it any more. If she could take a closer look at Lin Xiaoman at this moment, she would not miss the cunning light in her eyes.

-

"Taohua, why didn't you call me?"

When Lin Dajiang woke up, it was already dawn.

Li Taohua had already prepared breakfast. She dug Lidong up from where he was sleeping next to Lin Dajiang and put on his clothes.

"You don't have to make smoked fish today. It's rare for the head of the family to sleep a little longer. I don't have the heart to ask you."

"Peach Blossom."

Lin Dajiang held Li Taohua's wrist.

"you are so kind to me."

In front of her son, Li Taohua's face turned red.

She said in a very light voice, "Boss, I'm going out for breakfast."

Xiao Lidong looked left and right, and called out "Mom" and "Dad" one after another.

Then he realized that his parents were ignoring him, so he pouted and whimpered in protest.

Li Taohua was the first to react. She glared at Lin Dajiang, broke free from his wrist, and carried Li Dong out, "Hurry up, boss."

Lin Xiaoman was puzzled. Why did her mother blush when she went to wake her father up?

Also, Lidong was very well behaved in the morning and not grumpy at all. But today, he kept whining and babbling.

Lin Xiaoman reached out and touched Dongzhi's forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever.

"Mom, is it hot?"

Li Taohua was confused, "Huh?"

"Mom, why is your face so red?"

Facing her daughter's inquisitive eyes, Li Taohua slapped Li Dong's round butt and said, "You are making trouble, kid."

"I'm back!"

Lin Jingzhe rushed in and went straight to the rabbit hole at the back.

After feeding the rabbit grass, Lin Jingzhe discovered that the female rabbit seemed to be about to give birth.

"I don't know how many babies they will have?" Lin Jingzhe smiled like a fool. "Give birth to more babies, and sell them when they grow up."

Lin Xiaoman: "Brother, you've been thinking about the rabbit before it was even born."

"Don't tell me, I'm not only thinking about the unborn rabbit."

Lin Jingzhe said shockingly, "I am even thinking about their descendants!"
