Chapter 460460 Harvesting Purple Sweet Potatoes (1)
Xia Tian coated all the wooden boards inside and out with two layers of palm oil, retaining a certain degree of breathing capacity of the boards themselves. They were still placed in a cool and ventilated place outdoors, waiting for the palm oil to be completely absorbed before laying.
A morning passed quietly. She had a simple lunch for one person and took a rest. While waiting for the palm oil on the wooden board to be absorbed, she planned to start harvesting purple sweet potatoes this afternoon.
With the arrival of the cold season, time is very tight.
If converted into modern time calculation, there are still about three weeks.
According to the original owner's memory of the cold season, generally speaking, in the last week of the cold season, there will be a significant drop in temperature. At this time, it usually starts to snow and the temperature also drops drastically.
When the cold season officially arrives, the ground will be covered with thick white snow. It is no exaggeration to say that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.
So, excluding that one week, there are only two weeks left, which is less than half a month.
Putting aside other things for now, we must first solve the problem of food reserves.
"While we're waiting for the planks to dry, let's get rid of the blue wisteria growing on the ground today." With no one around, Xia Tian began interacting with the audience in the livestream. "The next few days will be spent harvesting and gathering. With the arrival of the cold season, time is running out, so we must stockpile and store food. We also have to collect firewood and store various vegetables... Anyway, it's going to be very busy, so I won't be able to interact with you all often. Please forgive me."
[It's okay, it's okay. Just follow your own pace. I wish Xia Xia a smooth winter! ]
"I feel so fulfilled when I say that. I have so much to do next, and just thinking about storing all this food is so energizing!"
[Well, Xia Xia, come on! I'll give you some star coins so I can buy some delicious food for myself!]
The comments in the live broadcast room were all words of encouragement for her. Xia Tian expressed her gratitude sincerely, "Thank you all for your encouragement. I will prepare seriously and will definitely be able to get through this cold season safely..."
Having said that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen in front of the cave, took out a piece of firewood from the burning campfire next to it, and returned to the purple sweet potato field holding a torch.
"Everyone knows that blue wisteria itself has a certain anesthetic toxicity. If we just go in and harvest it, there is more or less a risk of getting contaminated. After all, these vines on the ground are of no use to me. I plan to burn them all. Once these parts are completely cleaned up, I will start digging."
After saying that, he took out the remaining palm oil from treating the wooden boards and poured it on the vines growing on the edge. Then, he lit a fire -
At first it was just a tiny flame, but as the fire spread, coupled with the addition of palm oil, which itself increased its combustion properties, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and more and more blue wisteria were drawn in and engulfed in it.
It only took a few minutes for a tiny spark to grow into a huge fire with billowing smoke.
Soon, the fields that were originally covered with blue and purple, and the vines of blue purple vines that were originally growing lushly, were quickly cleared away by the flames, leaving behind the purple sweet potato roots protected by the soil.
