Chi Yu drunkenly found herself transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in a rural farming novel that emphasized hardship and survival. In the original story, the main character was accused of ...
After Zhuangzhuang was carried away by Chi Qiao, Chi Yu felt much more relaxed.
She closed the gate first, then looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, and turned to go to the backyard.
Judging from the current weather, she estimated that it would rain in the next couple of days.
In previous years, Anping County has often experienced rain, especially in the twelfth lunar month.
Whenever it rains, your hands and feet get so cold that you can't stop shivering even if you're just sitting there doing nothing.
In this situation, Chijia'ao, which is at a higher altitude, will experience rain and snow.
The current weather gave her a bad feeling.
Perhaps when Anping County experiences rainy weather in the early stages, Chijia'ao will directly enter the freezing rain disaster stage.
Thinking this, Chi Yu shoved the pile of soil in the backyard into the space he had deliberately cleared out.
After that, I went in myself and casually cooked some noodles to fill my stomach.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to the wasteland outside the space.
Both she and her sister had a habit of cooking, and since it was already November before she traveled through time, this was a significant development.
There were fresh corn on the cob, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the refrigerator and on the kitchen floor.
Knowing that these things didn't exist in this era, the two sisters decided to use potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After potatoes and other plants sprout, cut them into pieces, wrap them in wood ash, and plant them in wasteland.
Sweet potatoes, on the other hand, are planted whole in wasteland after they sprout.
After the vines grew longer, we switched to cuttings.
However, the two sisters didn't buy many sweet potatoes or potatoes.
Therefore, neither of these two methods can cultivate an inch of land in the wasteland.
Looking at these things, Chi Yu really wanted to transplant some of them.
But considering the weather, and fearing that the already limited resources might not be able to grow properly and would go to waste, they decided against it.
Therefore, when the fish in the pond emerged from the space, it was holding a bowl of soaked vegetable seeds.
Thanks to the cheat code of space, she was able to quickly tidy up the soil on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).
She poured the soil out of the space, then placed it on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), and then used a rake to spread the soil evenly.
Only after all this was done did they dig holes and bury the vegetable seeds.
Even though neither of the two heated brick beds was very large, and there was still some space, it was already noon by the time Chi Yu finished doing all this.
Before she could catch her breath, Liu Lingling's voice came from outside the door.
"Auntie, dinner's ready!"
Chi Yu had no choice but to drag her tired body to open the door.
Liu Lingling hadn't left yet, and seeing that her hands and feet were covered in dirt, I was a little puzzled.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to try growing vegetables on a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed)?"
Your mother and I thought about it and we both felt that this method might work.
After you left last night, we put all the soil from digging the cellar onto the kang (heated brick bed).
I was just spreading the soil evenly and digging holes to plant some vegetables.
I'm not sure if it will even work. Do you want to take a look?
At this, Liu Lingling's eyes lit up, and she followed Chi Yu directly into the two heated brick beds.
When she could see clearly that the kang (heated brick bed) was already lit and the soil spread on it was nearly a foot thick, she said:
"Auntie, this kang (heated brick bed) is too small. With such a small space, you can't grow many vegetables at all. I think it might not be worth it."
Chi Yu said, "Once the kang (heated brick bed) in this room is lit, the temperature will definitely rise."
We'll get some more wooden buckets or unused urns later, and plant the vegetables in them.
We can build some wooden frames later so that we can stack them on top of each other and make the most of the space.
If the sun comes out someday, we can move it outside to dry.
If not, move it to a warmer place.
