Old Master Lin had been a capitalist all his life, so he had no idea how to farm. He just followed others' methods blindly, and the soil was all clumps up without being loosened.
Lin Yuxi used a hoe to break up the harder soil, used wood ash as fertilizer, and finally leveled the soil.
"We'll sow the seeds later. Let's have breakfast first." Lin Yuxi washed her hands, took out the seeds, grabbed a wooden stick, and started banging on the packaging.
Seeing her strange behavior, Lin's mother couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xixi, why are you knocking on this?"
"Mom, these are cilantro seeds. You need to crack them in half to encourage them to germinate. They'll grow very quickly, and you can usually eat them in a month." Lin Yuxi looked at the crushed seeds and then put them all in a bowl to soak in warm water.
Since we'll be staying here from now on, we definitely can't forget scallions, cilantro, garlic, or anything else.
The environment is a bit lacking, so we need to eat something good.
Qinghe Village is located near mountains but not near water. If it were near water, we might be able to catch some fish and shrimp in the river.
Gathering firewood is relatively easy and simple, and only one person needs to gather three bundles. It is currently a dry season, and some tree trunks on the mountain have been dried out by the sun, leaving dry firewood everywhere on the ground.
In three hours, I earned three work points.
Back home, Lin Yuxi soaked the coriander seeds for several hours, then evenly scattered them on the ground, covered them with a thin layer of soil, moistened the surface soil with a spray bottle, and then covered them with a thin film.
Effective control of temperature and humidity will promote the germination of coriander seeds.
The other seedlings were treated the same way, but they didn't need to be split in half. Following the same steps, she scattered the corn seeds in and then found something to shade the film.
It was almost noon, around 12 o'clock.
The scorching sun felt like it was right above our heads. There wasn't a single tree on the road, and nowhere to find shade; it was all fields.
Even if you wear a straw hat, it only makes you feel cool in spirit, but in reality, you're sweating like it's raining.
Today's task of gathering firewood was relatively easy; carrying manure and water was the most strenuous. Zhao Xiaotong was assigned to carry manure, and she resisted it with all her might. In the morning, she had originally planned to avoid going to work while her stomach was hurting, but there was no food left at home, and this month's living allowance had not yet arrived. If she didn't go to work, there would be even less food, and she was afraid she would starve to death if she didn't work.
Zhao Xiaotong was swaying unsteadily. She had just returned the manure bucket and felt dizzy even while walking.
"Zhao Xiaotong? Didn't you eat breakfast? Why are you walking so unsteadily?" Luckily, someone next to her caught her, otherwise she might have fallen into the paddy field.
Zhao Xiaotong licked her dry lips, her face flushed from the sun. "I wasn't feeling well this morning and was thinking of not going to work, but seeing you all working made me feel bad staying home all by myself."
"Are you stupid? It's not like you can't take a day off if you're not feeling well. You can just tell the village chief. Is your health more important or your work?" The woman next to her couldn't help but say. "It's already noon. The sun has been too strong these past few days. Luckily, I'm free this afternoon. After I take you home, I'll go home and cook. Don't bother cooking lunch."
Cooking?
Potatoes with sweet potatoes?
Despite her discomfort, Zhao Xiaotong said, "Fengru, thank you. I'm so glad you're here."
Zhu Fengru kept muttering to herself, but as she walked, she suddenly stopped. "Where's that smell coming from? Doesn't it smell like someone's cooking meat?"
