My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 337 Digging a Hole

Linzhi spat at her daughter and walked away cursing.

Village chief Liu was very happy to see that the problem was solved.

He quickly walked up to Yu Qingshu and said shamefully: "It's also because of me, the village chief, that I failed to manage them well.

If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. As the village chief, it is my duty to help the villagers."

The reason for Village Chief Liu's change of heart was because he saw Yuan Xichen vehemently protecting the Yu family. He felt that by pleasing the Yu family, he would also indirectly please his financial backer.

I have to say that Village Chief Liu is really very aware.

Yu Qingshu chuckled, "Village Chief Liu, you're too polite. I'll definitely come to you if I need anything in the future, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

Yu Qingshu chose to gladly accept the goodwill shown by Village Chief Liu. After all, it was beneficial to his family and had no harm.

After the matter was over, Yu Qingshu also returned home.

At this time, the yard of Yu Qingshu's house was full of busy figures, because Yu Qingqing had asked people to catch fish and dry fish before, and a lot of dried meat had been dried, which was also sent to the front line in batches.

Yu Qingqing went into the room and found a lot of unwanted scraps of cloth, which could be used to tie up the dried meat.

At the beginning of next month, the Yu family will prepare to hold a wedding banquet for Yu Qinghai to marry his wife.

Yu Qingshu had asked a matchmaker to go to the girl's family to propose marriage a few days ago, and there was no problem for the two young people.

Yu Qinghai has been very motivated these days because he is about to start a family, which gives him more motivation.

Taking advantage of the free time now, Yu Qingqing brought Yuan Xichen to the reclaimed land, preparing to let him see how to grow sweet potatoes and what issues need to be paid attention to.

Yu Qingqing also planned to plant some sweet potatoes on the reclaimed land at home. After all, it would be a shame not to plant high-yielding things.

There were still quite a few people in the fields, all hired by Yu Qingshu to clear the weeds. It had rained the previous few nights, so the weeds were growing wildly.

After Yu Qingqing came to the land, he personally dug a big hole beside the land.

Then he pointed at the big pit and said to Yuan Xichen seriously: "Mr. Yuan, look at the location of this big pit. We need to dig big pits like this within a certain range.

Then add some rotten leaves, or some unwanted vegetables that are a pity to decompose.

You can also put in cow, sheep, and even pig feces. This can be used as fertilizer, which will help maintain the yield and quality of sweet potatoes in the future."

Yu Qingqing didn't dig the big hole in front of him very deep, and it was estimated to be only about half a meter.

But this is enough, there is no need to dig too deep a hole.

Yuan Xichen looked at the huge pit in front of him and was lost in thought. After Yu Qingqing's explanation, he naturally understood the reason behind it.

The only thing he couldn't understand was the feces of cows, sheep and pigs. Is it really okay to have such disgusting things?

With this doubt, he looked at Yu Qingqing curiously and asked puzzledly: "Miss Yu, do you think it would be bad to put animal feces in there?

This stinks. Wouldn't it fill the air with stench if I put it in there? And there's only one pit in one place. Isn't that a bit too little?"

As a prince who lived a life of luxury, Yuan Xichen had never been exposed to the affairs of the fields.

He never imagined that such a high-yielding sweet potato would require such disgusting animal manure.

Miss Yu looks so quiet and cute, and I don’t know how she could come up with such a disgusting thing.

Yu Qingqing saw his puzzled look and naturally knew what he was thinking.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Master Yuan, don't worry about it not working. After leaving it for a while, it will produce some kind of reaction.

So in the end, there won't be a foul smell everywhere, I can guarantee that. As for the number of pits, there are naturally enough.

Because the sweet potato's roots extend everywhere, it can also get this nutrient."

Many such large pits have been dug in the wasteland, and the trenches for planting sweet potatoes have also been dug.

After Yu Qingqing's explanation, Yuan Xichen finally understood the reason and thought it was a good idea.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, noticing that the soil here was different from that in other places. Confused, he pointed at the trench and asked, "Why do we dig like this? What's the point?"

Yuan Xichen thought that all he had to do was loosen the soil, but the shape of the soil was different from what he had imagined.

Yu Qingqing saw the place he pointed out and patiently explained: "Because it is because of the planting of sweet potatoes, it also needs thicker soil.

The most important thing is that planting in this way will make it easier to dig up later, and at least it can reduce the possibility of damaging the plants.

If we planted the sweet potatoes this time, we could avoid damaging them. "In the future, we can plant sweet potatoes in this way."

Yuan Xichen's eyes lit up after hearing this. He thought Yu Qingqing was really smart and could think of this.

"I see, Miss Yu, thank you for your reminder. We will follow this method from now on, and the sweet potatoes will get better and better."

Yuan Xichen trusted Yu Qingqing very much, so he naturally believed what she said.

The few of them went to other places for a walk, and the people who followed Yuan Xichen also recorded all the details that Yu Qingqing said in detail.

The wasteland has basically been cleaned up, and we just need to plant the seeds.

The people working in the fields greeted Yu Qingqing and the others warmly when they saw them. They were also very grateful to the Yu family for giving them hope in life.

Yu Qingqing led everyone to plant the sweet potatoes they brought in the soil. While planting the sweet potatoes, she explained some details.

She had planned this land long ago, planting edible crops first, and then leaving some to plant the fruits she wanted to grow.

I had asked Manager Jiang to gather information before, and we already had some clues. When we meet that foreign businessman again, we can ask him to bring us some fruit trees.

The people in Dongyu usually eat very simple fruits because Dongyu itself does not have many fruits.

People here are not very keen on fruits, perhaps because they haven't found any fruits that they particularly like.

Yuan Xichen personally planted sweet potatoes and did not act like a prince at all.

Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask Yu Qingqing directly.

Everyone's hands were dirty from growing sweet potatoes, but no one complained.

After all the sweet potatoes were planted, Yu Qingqing arranged for people to water every area.

By the time everything was done, the sun was setting.

A few people were just about to go back and had just washed their hands in the stream nearby.

"Master, I have something to report!"
