Zhao Xian: "Don't force yourself, you can go get it if you need it."
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "Really not necessary."
She looked at Zhao Xian, her tone already very confident: "It's just an experiment. Let's try to see if the rye can be planted first. If it can be planted, we can try other crops. It won't be too late to pick them up then."
After all, it's still frozen. It's not worth the effort just for that little bit of fodder.
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "Rye is good. If it grows well, we won't use it as forage. We can just wait for it to ear and harvest the grains."
"However," Qiao Xuejun stopped smiling and changed his tone, "I took a look the other day and found that although the soil was warm and there was no permafrost, it was severely compacted. We need to turn the soil over and add some charcoal to improve the soil structure. Or," Qiao Xuejun asked, "do you still have the giant clams you got last time? Or other shellfish, they can also be ground up and turned into the soil."
Zhao Xian: "Okay, as many as you want."
Qiao Xuejun raised an eyebrow: "I can plant as many as you have."
Qiao Xuejun did what she said and immediately pulled Zhao Xian out and asked him to allocate to her which areas could be used for farming and how much she could farm.
Zhao Xian followed her out of the base and went around the back mountain.
Qiao Xuejun was very excited and walked towards the warmest piece of land in the back mountain. From a distance, he could see that there was no trace of freezing on the land.
The road in front of the Hongmei Mountain Base was trampled by people, and the ice and snow had melted, leaving behind a grayish-white layer of permafrost.
But the area behind the mountain was all covered with the gray-brown soil that I had seen before, a normal color.
It was just because of the previous heavy rain that washed away some of the tiny particles in the soil, and the high temperature in the cave caused the soil to become compacted.
Qiao Xuejun took out a small hoe from her backpack. It was a portable version made for her by Kuang Qianli and the carpenter.
She walked to the edge of the field, tapped it with a small hoe, dug it down, and showed it to Zhao Xian: "Look, it's severely compacted, it's just a large piece, and it's impossible to grow crops. It needs to be improved."
Her hoe knocked up a piece of earth, but as she said, the earth here was in pieces and very compact.
