Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 80 Planting Preparation

After understanding Mosquito Coil's request, Chiba Kaede planned to go back and make some arrangements, since he still needed to cultivate the Vitality Root, Resurrection Grass, and Gracidia Flower he had obtained during this trip. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ❻❾𝓈𝒽𝐔Ж.ςσ𝔪 ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

If these rare plants are ranked according to the difficulty of cultivation, the resurrection plant is definitely the most difficult to cultivate, followed by the vital root. They all have very high requirements for their living environment.

Without abundant life energy to support their growth, they will quickly wither and die, which is why they are so difficult to cultivate successfully.

Chiba Kaede was certain that something in the resurrection grass planting area on Chimney Mountain was overflowing with a large amount of life energy, which was the reason why resurrection grass and vital energy roots could be grown stably.

Of course, they certainly wouldn't tell outsiders this secret; perhaps only the elderly couple at the Chinese medicine shop would know something about it.

After touring the farm, it was already evening. Seeing the familiar smoke rising from the chimneys, he knew that Terada Yuri had already begun preparing dinner.

After greeting her, Chiba Kaede returned to his room, took out several petri dishes, put the seeds of several different plants into them, and poured in nutrient solution so that the seeds could absorb enough nutrients to grow quickly.

These seeds have all been infused with life energy by the Thousand Leaf Maple. Now they are full of vitality and germination is no longer a problem. The biggest problem is how to continuously replenish the life energy needed for their survival after the life energy has been fully absorbed and transformed.

Chiba Maple's initial plan was to have several shuttlecocks take turns releasing green grass to maintain the concentration of life energy in the planting area. 🍫 🎀 69M.K. 🎀 🍫

However, the exact number of times the grass needs to be released each day to meet their growth needs will only be determined after the grass is actually planted.

However, he has only just soaked the seeds in the nutrient solution. It will take a few more days for the seeds to germinate and grow into seedlings before they can be planted in the ground.

He needs to find a suitable place to plant the seedlings of these three plants in the next few days.

Because the plant species to be planted this time are all quite rare, Qianye Feng did not dare to place the planting site too far from his residence.

Therefore, he planned to build a backyard around the house, enclosing it with a fence as tall as a person to prevent other elves from accidentally entering and causing damage.

Of course, he didn't plan to do the fencing himself; he intended to ask Uncle Henry, who had previously helped them renovate the exterior walls, to do it.

"Yuri, could you please contact Uncle Henry, who helped us renovate the exterior walls before? Tell him I want him to build a fence about half an acre high around the backyard."

During dinner, Chiba Kaede explained to Terada Yuri that she wanted to plant some rare plants and asked her to help contact Uncle Henry to help fence off the backyard.

"Okay, boss, I'll contact him after I finish eating!"

As usual, Terada Yuri did not interfere with Chiba Kaede's decisions; she would do her best to help resolve any issues her boss instructed her to do.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Terada Yuri got up and went to open the door, and then she came over with an old man.

"Xiao Feng, did I disturb your dinner?"

Rie Uchino walked over with a smile and greeted him. ♟✎ ➅❾𝔰н𝕌ˣ.ςόΜ 👻♪

"Of course not, Grandma Uchino. If you don't mind, let's have dinner together!"

Chiba Kaede was somewhat surprised by Uchino Rie's sudden appearance, but he still quickly got up to greet her.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality!"

Rie Uchino didn't stand on ceremony and agreed with a smile.

"Xiao Feng, I came here mainly to apologize for breaking my promise to you. I'm so sorry!"

After the meal, Rie Uchino solemnly apologized to Kaede Chiba.

"Grandma Uchino, you're too kind. Yuri has already told me the details. I think this is actually the best situation for the orphanage. I admit I didn't consider things carefully before!"

Chiba Kaede quickly replied, "Of course, this is also my true thought right now."

After seeing that Chiba Kaede was not angry about the orphanage, Uchino Rie was relieved. Although she did it for the good of the children in the orphanage, her behavior was still somewhat inappropriate.

After Chiba Kaede and Terada Yuri chatted with Uchino Rie for a while, she said goodbye and left. Of course, when she left, Chiba Kaede didn't forget to let her take the gifts she had brought for the children at the orphanage.

The next morning, Chiba Kaede got up early. After having breakfast, he went to the backyard. Before planting, he needed to prepare a suitable plot of land.

The land in the Chiba Farm area is very fertile, it is excellent black soil, or rather, the soil quality in most parts of the Hoenn continent is good, only in this way can the forests covering most of Hoenn be formed.

Therefore, this place has unique advantages in terms of growing crops, and basically no fertilizer is needed. Of course, this may also be closely related to the strong environmental awareness of the people living here.

Because all three plants produce very few seeds, the Thousand-Leaf Maple does not require a large amount of land to grow them.

He roughly calculated the size of the area formed by the shuttlecocks spreading out on the grass, and tried to plant the seeds there in a regular pattern.

After swinging the hoe all morning, Chiba Kaede wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at the land that had been turned over, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

According to his plan, three resurrection grass seedlings will be planted at certain intervals in the very center area, where the life energy is most concentrated.

When the shuttlecock flower is used on a grassy field, its life energy radiates outward from it. The closer to the center, the higher the concentration of life energy and the better the effect.

Then there are 10 Vitality Root seedlings, arranged in a circle to protect the Resurrection Grass, with Gracidia flower seedlings on the outermost edge.

It's not that he doesn't value the Gracidia flower, but rather that this flower has the lowest requirement for life energy and its living environment is not that harsh.

The reason for planting it together with the resurrection grass and the vital energy root is simply to help them grow quickly.

Once this batch of Gracidia flowers has grown, he can obtain their seeds and plant them in other parts of the farm, expanding their planting area until it becomes a sea of ​​flowers.

"Boss, have some water and take a break!"

Terada Yuri came over with a glass of water.

"Thanks!"

Chiba Kaede took the water glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh.

"Uncle Henry just replied to me, he can come over this afternoon to install a fence in our backyard!"

Terada Yuri took the empty water glass that Chiba Kaede handed her back, and then said.

"That's great. Once the fence is installed, I can safely plant the seedlings here."

Chiba Kaede was quite satisfied with Uncle Henry's efficiency at this point.

"Did you just go milk the big milk tanks?"

Chiba Kaede noticed a milky scent on Terada Yuri and asked her about it.

"Hehe, boss, you can smell it! Ever since the big milk tanks have grown out of their infancy, they come to me every day at this time to milk them."

Terada Yuri sniffed her own scent and then spoke.

Chiba Kaede knew that each milk tank could produce 20 liters of nutritious milk every day. If she didn't help milk it every day, it would feel unwell. However, milking four milk tanks every day was also a very tiring task. Nevertheless, Terada Yuri did not complain to him about the increased workload.

"I know of a machine that's specially designed for milking large milk tanks. After lunch, I'll go to Kaina City to buy the supplies, so you won't have to work so hard."

Chiba Kaede felt that they shouldn't push people to their limits, especially since it was just the two of them now, and there were still so many things to do on the farm every day; it was indeed too much work.

"Thank you for your understanding, boss. You can rest for a while; I'll go make lunch now!"

Terada Yuri smiled at Chiba Kaede.

Terada Yuri did not refuse, because milking the large milk tank had indeed taken up a lot of her time these days, and having a machine replace her was a better option.
