The hoe pounded into the hard, dry loess soil.
He pulled his arm back and turned up a clod of soil mixed with sand and gravel.
Although Lin Fan had lived in the city all his life and had never farmed in the fields himself, with the development of short videos, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.
Those agricultural bloggers post farming videos online every day; they understand the basic farming process.
However, understanding is one thing, but actually doing it is another.
At first, Lin Fan's movements were indeed a bit stiff.
He was relying entirely on the brute force of his arms to slam the ground, and after only a few flips, his wrists were numb from the impact.
His physique has already undergone systematic initial enhancement, and his strength, endurance, and physical coordination far exceed those of ordinary people.
After adjusting his posture and getting used to the rhythm for a few minutes, he quickly found that feeling of "man and hoe as one".
"Click! Click! Click!"
In the quiet and empty farm space, only the rhythmic and dull sound of Lin Fan swinging his hoe could be heard.
Sweat quickly seeped from his forehead.
It slid down her cheek and dripped into the slightly yellow soil.
The black vest was quickly soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to the muscle lines of his back.
Two acres of land doesn't sound like much; it's only a little over a thousand square meters.
However, if an ordinary person were to turn the soil by hand with a hoe, it would take at least several days and would exhaust them.
But Lin Fan did not stop.
Although the loess soil was dry and hard, the hoe gradually turned it over, revealing a slightly moist layer underneath.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Lin Fan thoroughly loosened the two acres of yellow soil.
He broke up the large clods of soil with the back of his hoe, leveling them into ridges suitable for planting.
"call……"
Lin Fan put down his hoe, walked to the bluestone well in the center, picked up the wooden bucket hanging on the well rim, and drew up half a bucket of well water.
He cupped it in his hands, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful.
Cool well water flowed down my throat.
The cooling sensation instantly replenished the large amount of water lost from the body and relieved a slight muscle soreness.
Lin Fan did not rest.
He walked to the pile of supplies and opened the sack containing seeds of Xiangshui tribute rice.
The seeds provided by the system have already been germinated and can be sown directly.
He drew shallow ditches on the turned soil.
Grab a handful of seeds, bend down, and scatter them evenly along the shallow furrow.
Sow seeds and cover with soil.
One acre of land is entirely used to grow rice. This is the staple food consumed the most in Peach Blossom Spring, and its supply must not be interrupted.
At a growth rate 10 times faster, the first batch of new rice can be harvested in a maximum of ten days.
Before that, he had to carefully budget the remaining few dozen kilograms of stock in the outer storage room.
He divided the remaining acre of land into several areas.
They planted Chinese cabbage, scallions, and single-clove garlic respectively.
These vegetables are essential ingredients for making soup dumplings and simmering broth.
Since vegetables have a short growth cycle, with a 10x acceleration, they can probably be harvested in two or three days for emergency use.
After planting the vegetables.
Lin Fan picked up a shovel and dug two half-meter-deep tree pits in an open space not far from the well.
Plant those two century-old plum saplings.
Mound the soil around the base of the tree and tamp it down. These two trees will ensure a continuous supply of sour plum juice in the future. Although it will take time for them to bear fruit, there is hope once they are planted.
The final step is to water it.
The primary farm did not have an automatic irrigation system.
Lin Fan could only carry a shoulder pole, hang two buckets on it, and fetch water from the well, trip after trip.
They manually irrigated the rice paddies, vegetable fields, and fruit trees repeatedly.
The moment the well water touched the dry, yellow soil, the newly planted seeds, nourished by traces of spiritual energy and moisture, seemed to emit extremely subtle sounds as they broke open.
Although the greenery is not yet visible to the naked eye, the entire land seems to have come alive.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, on your first successful seeding! You have achieved the "Pioneer" achievement!]
[Special Reward Received: One Pack of Basic Growth Fertilizer!]
[Item Description: A special fertilizer containing concentrated spiritual energy, effective only on crops grown on novice farms. After use, it directly reduces the maturity time of all currently planted crops by 30%!]
Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Reduced by 30%!
This is a godsend!
He was just worried that, given the current ten-day growth cycle of rice in the outside world, his stockpile might not last until the new rice matures.
If there is even a slight surge in passenger flow, the service will inevitably be interrupted.
But with this bag of fertilizer, ten days instantly became seven!
Chinese cabbage, a vegetable that can grow in a day and a half, can be served in less than a day!
The crisis was easily resolved!
Lin Fan immediately used his mind to retrieve the bag of fertilizer.
A brown paper bag appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Upon opening it, I found it contained some powder that resembled grayish wood ash.
He grabbed a handful of fertilizer and, against the gentle breeze, evenly spread it across the two acres of freshly sown yellow earth.
The gray powder fell into the soil and instantly dissolved without a trace, as if it had been greedily absorbed by the earth.
After finishing the farm work.
Lin Fan carried the empty water buckets and walked towards the livestock pen on the left.
This circle is far too rudimentary.
Lin Fan could only use some scattered broken planks next to the thatched hut to reinforce the fence.
He opened the bamboo cage and drove ten black mountain piglets inside.
These piglets were extremely lively and strong, running around everywhere. It took Lin Fan a lot of effort to press them all back in.
Then, he set up a small circle next to it and settled the fifty chicks in.
The system left dozens of bags of primary mixed feed in the thatched hut.
Lin Fan tore open a bag of feed and poured it into a long wooden feeding trough. He then drew water from the well and poured it into a water trough.
The ten black piglets immediately swarmed forward, their squeals of fighting over the food deafening, eating with extreme gluttony.
Four hours of intense, purely physical labor.
When Lin Fan finally finished all the work and put down the carrying pole, he looked as if he had been pulled out of the water.
But Lin Fan looked at the yellow earth that he had personally cultivated and planted.
Watching the black piglets happily eating in the wooden pen.
A sense of peace, unlike anything he had ever felt before, welled up inside him.
With this farm, he was no longer a rootless duckweed, no longer subject to the possibility of stockpiling shortages.
As long as he is willing to put in the effort, the foundation of Peach Blossom Spring will never be broken.
Once this yellow land is transformed into red and black soil, it will possess the world's top-tier food supply chain!
"call……"
Lin Fan let out a long breath, walked to the well, scooped up cold water with both hands, and splashed his face with it.
A thought crossed my mind.
"Leave the farm."
……
After a brief moment of slight dizziness.
Lin Fan returned to the counter of the Peach Blossom Spring shop.
He remained seated in that chair, maintaining the posture of closing his eyes to rest before entering the space.
I glanced at the clock on the wall.
Only five minutes had passed in the outside world.
The flow of time in the farm space is not completely synchronized with the flow of time in the outside world.
But the physical exhaustion and the strong smell of sweat on my clothes were real effects.
