Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 135 135 Fresh goods
He took a wooden shovel and a stone hoe and went under the wall in front of the courtyard dam.There is an open space two to three meters wide along the base of the wall, and she plans to turn it out and plant pinto beans, cowpeas, and radish seeds along the base of the wall, and save the seeds after it blooms and sets seeds.

After digging for a while, Ah Chong and Ah Shui came over carrying two skinny pheasants.

Ah Shui brought the pheasant in front of Yao Xiaoqing with a smile, "Xiaoqing, look, there are two live chickens in the noose, they are still female, and there will be eggs to eat later."

"Okay, I'll get the scissors to cut off the feathers. Slowly, there will be more and more pheasants."

"Hey!" Ah Chong sighed, "There is nothing in the trap. Let's go to the river to see if there is any harvest in the fish cage?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "How can we catch wild boars for us every day! If it's true, we don't have to go hunting. How is that little pig? Is it willing to eat?"

"I was hungry all day, and Ah Yun fed me last night, and I ate obediently. How nice it is to be raised by someone! Don't worry about being hungry." Ah Chong laughed.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "That's true."

After the feathers of the wings of the two pheasants were cut off, Ah Chong and Ah Shui carried the pheasants and walked towards the pen.

After a while, Yuzi came, "Uncle Shui said that you are digging here alone, so let me help you. Xiaoqing, what do you want to do here?"

Yao Xiaoqing supported the straw hat, "I want to plant pinto beans and cowpeas along the wall, scatter the chili seeds and rapeseed, and collect some seeds."

Yuzi looked at her puzzled, "Rape? Is that the one with yellow flowers?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Yes! It's the one with the little yellow flowers." After all, she is a girl, so she likes flowers!
"Oh! That's delicious, and the flowers are beautiful!" Taro said with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her and laughed, "I can't eat it, I will save it this time."

Yuzi nodded, "It's good to keep the seeds. After a while, let's go to the piece of rapeseed we picked last time to see, and there may be another rapeseed growing."

"Well! You can go and see it in ten days or so."

The two of them were busy until the sun went down, and dug the space under the wall for about ten meters to grow out. Then they went to the composting pit to pick up two baskets of manure and scattered them on the ground, including rapeseed and chili seeds.

A row of small pits was dug under the wall. In one pit, put two handfuls of fertilizer, soaked and dried cowpea and pinto beans, and in the other pit put two grains.

Busy until the sun goes down, only one-tenth of the pinto beans are planted.Yao Xiaoqing reckoned that those pinto beans could fill up the north wall.

"Taro, bring some water, water the ground once, and plant the rest tomorrow."

"Hey!" Yuzi put down his hoe and went to fetch water with a bucket.

After pouring water, the two went to the cafeteria, and saw that leeks and wild garlic had been planted on the ground at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing coming, Ah Lin stepped forward with a smile, and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, those taro roots have been planted, and tomorrow we will plant the ones we just dug out."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and followed Lin Bo to the cafeteria, "Lin Bo, have the seeds left to plant all the fields that have been planted?"

Alin nodded cheerfully, "It's all planted. I guess the ones just dug up can still be planted in two plots. We planted taro and opened a field."

Only since he came here did he know that farming has such a reputation; the soil is dug out deep, left there, then crushed with a stone hoe, hoeed finely, and he also needs to spread fertilizer to make ridges, dig ditches, and weed.

No wonder the millet and beans planted before did not grow as fast as the weeds.

Yao Xiaoqing said happily: "There are as many species as there are. Also, it is time to fertilize kudzu and yam. Tomorrow, a few people will be sent to clean up the previous furrows, and then put fertilizer and soil along the ditches. Farming is important. But don’t be too tired, tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”

She looked at these young old people and knew their temperament, as long as they were not too sick to move, they would come out to work.He never steals, rapes or plays tricks, and he does everything he can.

She calculated that the piece of land planted today has about ten acres, and if two more are planted, it will be more than 30 acres.You can save a lot of taro when it is harvested.

"Xiaoqing, we know that, the leader said, if there is anything uncomfortable, we have to say it." Alin looked at Yao Xiaoqing gratefully, "Don't worry, we will ask you to teach us if there is anything we don't understand. "

Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said: "Okay, just ask me if you don't know anything. There are still beans, peas, and millet that haven't been planted. Everyone has worked hard. The sun is bright, everyone remember to drink plenty of water and be careful. Sick from the heat."

Lin Bo shook his head and said, "What's the point of suffering? It's suffering when you have nothing to eat and you're hungry! You can eat and wear warmth, but you don't have to worry about suffering and being tired. Everyone said, right?"

"Yes! We are full every day, no matter how hard it is, we are not afraid of it." Everyone said in a hurry.

"Em is back." Yaya shouted from outside.

When everyone walked to the door, they saw more than a dozen people carrying baskets full of loads on their shoulders and carrying a basket in their hands.

"Amu, you have moved the bamboo forest back!" Yuzi ran over, took the bamboo basket from Shan Amu and laughed.

Everyone hurried forward and helped put down the basket.

Shan Amu rubbed his strangled shoulder and said with a smile: "We think about it too! I plan to come back and ask Xiaoqing, can these bamboo shoots be grown?"

Yao Xiaoqing didn't expect that they even wanted to plant bamboo, which was a good move.Smiling and nodding, he said, "It can be planted! I don't have time now. After I'm busy, I'll dig some in autumn and plant them in the open space outside."

Shan Amu smiled cheerfully, "If you can plant it, let's plant the food first, so that we won't be hungry."

Hua walked to the door with the vegetable basin, "Everyone is tired all day, aren't you hungry? Go wash up and eat food."

"Oh! I have shrimps to eat today!" Yaya and A Sen jumped and ran in.

Achong looked at Yao Xiaoqing and said, "Achun and the others put five or six fish cages in the river yesterday evening. Today we went to collect two buckets of river prawns, as well as eels and white scale fish. The small ones were released into the water." It's raised in the pond."

"Achong, are there many ducks and water birds by the river?" Shan Amu asked.

Ah Chong thought for a while, "There are ducks, not many, and I haven't seen any waterfowl yet!"

Yun Amu said with a look of pity: "Maybe they were all frozen to death."

Shan Amu nodded, "It's so cold! Even people are freezing to death, let alone ducks."

The night food is very rich, deep-fried prawns, freshly roasted river eel segments, taro cakes, and stir-fried bamboo shoots.Yao Xiaoqing thought, these are fresh products, and this day is full of sunshine.

Dashi looked at Hua and said with a smile, "The food made by Hua is getting better and better."

Hua blushed and glared at him, "I didn't cook it by myself, Dongxue, Muna, Asu... a few sisters did it together."

"Yeah!" Shan Amu gave him a white look with a smile, "You brat, you can't even speak."

"Hey!" Dashi smiled and ate.
