Chapter 170 Harvest

Every harvest is no less than a carnival.

When I felt tired from working, I would pinch a fallen fruit and put it in my mouth. The fragrant mutant fallen fruit instantly replenished the lost strength.

The jumping lambs shook off the large pieces of dirt attached to the mutant ground creatures, and the Star-Moon Bear used a shovel to bag the cleaned mutant ground creatures and put them away.

From time to time, golden-armored dung beetles and colorful ladybugs would fly over to check on the situation. Although they couldn't help much, they also had a strong sense of participation.

The whole farm was bustling with activity and everyone was working hard.

Daisy, who witnessed the entire harvesting process, couldn't help but sigh, what an amazing farm! Such solidarity is so shocking.

The most troublesome part of the entire harvesting process is the collection of the mutant ground-dwelling species, which is the home turf of the golden macaque and the bucktoothed beaver.

After all the mutant fruits that grew on the ground were turned out of the soil, the big and medium-sized animals such as the big-tailed yaks and digging pigs were no longer useful.

These delicate jobs are not suitable for them.

They can leisurely savor the freshly harvested mutants and have a satisfying snack.

When Aunt Daisy was leaving in the afternoon, Josh gave her a big bag of mutant radishes. She wanted to share the joy of the farm's harvest with everyone who witnessed it.

Even the two rookie errand boys who came today did not forget, and Josh prepared two bags of fresh mutant ground greens for them to celebrate the farm's harvest together.

The harvest of mutants continued for several days.

Just like the taro and bamboo fields, Qiao Xi adopted the method of rolling the land first to expose the fruits and then picking them up.

But compared with taro, the mutant ones grow much smaller and are densely packed all over the ground. From a distance, they look like small eggs all over the ground, and you can never pick them all up.

On the first day, Qiao Xi shared his joy with the small animals in the forest, so that night, the mutant field became a small animal carnival club.

I thought there were so many, how much could they eat? But the next morning, looking at the obviously sparsely populated farmland, Josh still felt a pain in his flesh.

No, how come you can eat and take it at the same time?

But the food was already eaten, and Josh was not the stingy person who would settle the score later, so he just arranged for the big rats and beavers to patrol at night to protect the safety of the farm property.

If eating it once is not enough and you want to have another one, don’t blame me, Brother Rat, for having such sharp teeth!

After all the food on the surface was picked up, the big-tailed yaks turned the land over and a lot of food came out. They turned it over again and more food came out. In short, they kept picking up food and turning the land over and over.

Faced with such a large piece of land, the number of golden macaques is indeed not enough. Qiao Xi once again admired the foresight of the big-tailed yak. ​​When these big ants are bred next year, there will be new helpers for this boring and monotonous work.

While the golden macaques were picking up the mutant ground-growing fruits, Qiao Xi and the big-tailed yaks were not idle either. Under the guidance of the bouncing lamb, she successfully selected a southern hillside as a planting base for Baoshishan papaya, peach coconut and button hazelnut.

These three kinds of magic fruit trees like heat and fear cold, so the planting bases are chosen in locations far away from snow-capped mountains.

Josh, who has cleaned up many wastelands, is now experienced. He commands the big-tailed yaks and the moon-shaped bears to clear out the dead branches and leaves. Then the well-trained golden-armored soldiers appear on the scene. They are responsible for providing all the nutrients needed by these magic fruit trees.

The trees are far apart. When Una and Puda introduced these magic fruit trees, they said that they would all grow into tall trees when they grow up, so please be sure to ensure enough living space. Of course, Josh chose to strictly enforce it.

After all, there isn’t much else on the farm, just a lot of vacant land.

Let’s temporarily name this place Nanguopo, it has to have a name.

However, magic fruit is delicious, but the tree is difficult to grow.

These magic fruit trees cannot grow up in a short period of time. Looking at the small fruit forest that has not yet taken shape, the wide planting intervals make the fruit forest look very sparse.

Josh closed his eyes and imagined what he would look like when he grew up, with lush trees covering the land. He took a deep breath, wow, it was the breath of life.

Cough, cough, she stopped smoking for now and inhaled a nose full of ashes.

Without Josh's knowledge, the beavers secretly dug many water channels.

Even at Nanguopo, far away from Weiguang Lake, Qiao Xi found a small ditch with fresh soil on the slope, which was connected to an old waterway.

But Josh would not underestimate them. The water conservancy engineer of Weiguang Farm was not hired for nothing. In a few days, there will be water, and there will be no need to worry about water for irrigating the magic fruit forest.

Those little guys can even build dams. My God, they can adjust them at will. Sometimes, Josh really wants to dig out her brain to see what's wrong. The elves on the farm are so powerful, why does she need to be a farmer!

Are you here to eat?

But it’s not impossible, haha, she likes it.

——

The busy harvesting work is gradually coming to an end, and the weaving class of the woolly spiders is almost over. Aunt Daisy said that they have learned the basic knowledge very well now, and the rest only requires practice to consolidate the exercises.

After they have all mastered these basic skills, if the farm still needs her to teach intermediate or advanced knowledge, they can contact her again.

She left in a hurry. Josh touched the brand new waterproof gloves on his hands and felt embarrassed that he hadn't thanked her properly yet.

The waterproof gloves are woven from soft spider silk and snow-covered goat hair. They feel cool and slippery when you put them on. They must feel great in the summer.

Unfortunately, winter is coming. A cold wind blew by and Josh shivered. He took off his gloves. It was doubly cool.

However, since they wanted to practice and consolidate the basic knowledge, Josh simply let the spiders use all the snow goat hair to practice, and made several pairs of gloves suitable for them according to the normal size of the golden macaques' palms.

Whether making taro bread or cooking baked beans in tomato sauce, there is a risk of being scalded by the soup. Although only a few pairs can be made, the little golden macaques who take turns at the mixing post will have to wear gloves when working in the future.

First, safety and prevention of scalding.

The second is hygiene and hair prevention.

After introducing the golden macaques, the little guys touched each other's gloves one by one and even tried to wear them on each other. Although they had never touched them before, it was obvious that they had good contact with these pairs of gloves and seemed to like them very much.

As he was busy, Josh always felt that he had forgotten something.

That day, the carrier pigeon circled above her head several times before dropping the newspaper to her.

I picked up the newspaper stuck on my face and saw that the reward for the farm rating competition that I had prepared for so long was coming!
