Chapter 53: Cotton_1

The seeds that were purchased from the salesman had already sprouted and grown.

A whole batch of Chinese chives and a dozen large white cabbages that could be wrapped into hearts.

Heart-wrapped cabbages are a northern vegetable, they could be stored for long and are considered a delicacy in small mountain villages. No household in this area ever planted them before.

A few months ago, when these vegetables first sprouted, Yingbao transplanted them to a small patch of field in her own yard.

The Chinese chives, having matured, were harvested twice, used for stir-frying with eggs, and they were very delicious.

Today, the large cabbages have grown more than two feet high. Initially, each plant spread out over a large area. Later, Yingbao wrapped each of them with straw rope to facilitate them forming hearts.

During the recent snowy days, all the large cabbages were chopped down and piled up indoors by Yingbao.

Two other packets of foreign seeds had also sprouted.
