After finishing this little bit of work in the city, I had a simple lunch and took the little one to take a nap.
When I got up again, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange-red sunset glow filled the sky. Looking out from the bedroom, it was particularly beautiful.
After waking up, Jiang Jin was stunned for a while, her mind blank, and then she slowly rubbed her face, which was left with red marks from the little guy's pillow. She pinched the little guy's face gently, stood up and put on her coat and cloak.
"Yage, I'm going out for a while. Please prepare a carriage for me. Try not to make it too drafty." Jiang Jin carried the little guy out of the door and happened to meet Yager, so she arranged a carriage.
After experiencing Brooke's affair, Jiang Jin was not too confident in letting the little guy stay alone in the city mansion. After all, Daisy and Bella were just weak maids.
"I'd better take you with me." Jiang Jin pinched his chubby little face again, "Grow up quickly, little guy, so I don't have to hold you every day. You don't even know how much you love yourself."
Jiang Jin, who was frail and delicate, couldn't afford to be hurt, but seeing the little one in her arms sleeping soundly, she could only accept her fate.
The carriage drove out along the street. Bella and Daisy took over the driver's duties and braved the cold wind to sit at the front of the carriage. On the road, they passed by a shabby and short ox cart.
This time, Jiang Jin's goal was very clear. She wanted Daisy to go around the crowd and go to a place a little further outside. The carriage drove forward for nearly half an hour. When she saw the endless fields appear in front of them, Jiang Jin called for a stop.
At this moment, the little guy in my arms yawned, a bubble of snot came out of his nose, blinked his hazy eyes, babbled twice, and woke up.
Who can resist the adorable look of this little one just waking up?! Jiang Jin can’t resist it anyway!
She tapped the tip of the little guy's nose and said, "Wake up, little lazy pig, the sun has set."
The little guy waved his hands, "Eeyah!"
Jiang Jin suppressed the upward curve of her lips, placed the little fellow in the basket, fastened his cloak, and warned him, "Don't move around, or you might fall. The snow will melt and turn into mud. I don't want to bring a muddy child home."
After hearing what Jiang Jin said, the little guy subconsciously stuck his head out to look at the ground. There were no stone slabs here, it was all muddy, and Jiang Jin's beautiful shoes were covered with dried mud.
The little guy immediately sat down obediently, and even stopped biting his toes, for fear that he would fall down accidentally.
It was inconvenient for Jiang Jin to carry the little guy, so she handed him over to Daisy and walked towards the field with her skirt lifted up. The little guy looked scared and kept calling Jiang Jin.
"No, I'll go over and take a look. This is a good place to grow food. It's not dangerous." Jiang Jin waved at him.
She was afraid of catching a cold again, so she wore thick and warm clothes when going out. She was sweating after taking a few steps. Jiang Jin squatted on the ground with all her strength, picked up a piece of mud and rubbed it in her hands for a while.
In a flash, Jiang Jin suddenly had an idea, "Let's see if my useless identification skills can be useful for non-living things."
She dug her fingertips into the soil and waited a moment.
Well, there really hasn’t been any change!
Jiang Jin calmly took her fingers out of the ground and sighed softly.
"This is difficult. I have no experience in farming at all." Jiang Jin was a little troubled. She was good at managing people, but she knew nothing about farming and observing the land.
I was hoping this useless system could be of some help, but it turned out to be nothing.
"We still need to find an expert in this field." Jiang Jin frowned, but it seemed that there were no such experts in Alicante.
She sighed deeply, feeling that her road to the city was still long.
Just as Jiang Jin was about to get up, she suddenly felt her eyes getting hot. She quickly rubbed them with the back of her hand. At this time, the dirt on the back of her hand touched her eyelids, and in an instant, a picture appeared in front of Jiang Jin.
Name of the item to be identified: Sandy soil
Identification item level: low
Characteristics of the items to be identified: The soil is too loose, water and fertilizer are leaking, there is a lack of organic matter, the evaporation is large, the thermal insulation performance is low, the fertilizer effect is short, it is easy to lose fertilizer in the later stage, and the yield is low.
Jiang Jin was silent for a moment. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, as if she had gained an incredible and useless ability!
Despite all the complaints, Jiang Jin still picked a few fields and inspected them one by one. Most of the fields were sandy, and only the fields near the water source were slightly better.
Generally, the most effective way to improve sandy soil is to apply fertilizer. Various types of manure and compost can be turned into the soil during spring or autumn plowing. Large amounts of fertilization can preserve ammonium nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer in the soil and prevent them from being lost.
But the current city of Alicante certainly does not have such conditions.
The second is to plant legumes and vegetables in the spare season between two crop seasons, intercropping and crop rotation to increase humus and nitrogen fertilizer in the soil.
This cycle is too long and can be moved to the middle and late stages. It is impossible to implement it in the early stages.
Third, for soils with thin sand layers, sand can be compacted to mix the clay in the bottom layer with the sand to reduce its sandiness.
A lot of manpower and material resources were spent, but the improvement effect was minimal.
This thought only flashed through Jiang Jin's mind once before she immediately shook her head and dismissed it.
There is one last method, which is to apply large amounts of river mud and pond mud.
Jiang Jin touched her chin and said, this is also a good way to improve the sandy soil.
Combining river mud with tillage and adding organic fertilizers can blend fertile soil. Soil organic matter provides nutrients needed by crops and increases nutrient availability, improving the physical and chemical properties of the soil and enhancing its fertility retention and buffering properties, making the land fertile.
But there is no river in this godforsaken place called Alicante!
Jiang Jin was so worried that she was about to go bald. She slowly walked back along the ridge of the field. Because she was thinking too hard, she didn't notice that the hem of her skirt was stained with mud.
"River mud, pond mud... moat!" Jiang Jin's eyes lit up! She clapped her hands suddenly, and suddenly remembered the moat outside the city!
It really is true that there is always a way out! Whatever you think will come true!
When Jiang Jin thought of the mud in the moat, she couldn't stay any longer. She lifted her skirt and ran towards the carriage, shouting, "Go back to the city!"
Bella and Daisy didn't dare to delay, and the carriage quickly returned to Alicante.
Along the way, Jiang Jin looked at the endless fields. When she thought that the land would become fertile in the future and produce a lot of food, and that in the coming winters, the residents of Alicante would no longer need to brave the snow and go to the mountains to find food, Jiang Jin felt endless motivation emanating from her whole body.
