The next morning, I saw my mother-in-law cutting potatoes. She cut a potato into pieces. I thought I was going to eat potatoes at noon. My mother-in-law said, "No, this is potato seeds. I'm going to grow potatoes. Will you go? " I readily agreed. I want to know why I cut potatoes when I grow them. I want to see how the potatoes we usually eat are grown.
When she got to the field, her mother-in-law cleaned up the weeds in the field with a hoe, and then began to dig a hole. She dug two rows of holes in each ridge. She dug ahead and asked me to put the cut potato pieces into each pit. According to my mother-in-law's request, I carefully put the potato pieces vertically into the pit. When my mother-in-law dug three long holes, I only put half of them. After my mother-in-law helped me put all the potato pieces into the pit, she began to bury the pits one by one with plowed soil. I thought it was done, but my mother-in-law said it wasn't enough. Fertilization was needed so that potatoes could grow fast. She picked two buckets of pig manure and covered it in the potato pit. Potatoes have been planted, although they are tired and smelly (accidentally put their hands into pig manure), but they are very happy.
On the way home, my mother-in-law told me that potatoes can be planted twice a year, and the potatoes planted now will be harvested in May. Cut the potatoes into small pieces, because this will make them sprout and grow quickly. I thought to myself: although potatoes don't grow on trees and in the ground like peaches and pomegranates, they don't look good, but they are very nutritious. They are called "underground apples", and now they have become the favorite vegetable stars of nutritionists and are considered as one of the greatest foods in the world. It is also one of the important food types. I want to learn from potatoes, it's as simple as that.
