Chen Hong immediately downloaded Taobao, linked her bank card, and searched for fruit tree seedlings on Taobao. She found them and carefully browsed the pages, comparing the merchants, varieties, prices, and shipping locations. She also checked the product reviews and selected several shops.
After negotiating with the sellers, I finally found a seedling shop with a complete range of varieties, fast delivery, and reasonable prices, and placed an order. There were over thirty major categories, and I bought 2-3 different varieties from each category, with 2-3 seedlings of each variety. The total price was 1235 yuan.
Chen Hong was a little dumbfounded. She didn't realize how much she had bought until she counted. Looking through the page, she realized she had purchased more than 180 fruit seedlings of various sizes and more than 70 varieties across more than 30 categories. Fortunately, the seller gave her a pound each of strawberry, watermelon, and cantaloupe seeds as a gift, as well as 5 banana seedlings.
According to calculations, Chen Hong has 18 mu (approximately 1.2 hectares) of land, with a riverbank length of about 390 meters. The plan is to divide it into four areas: a tall plant area, a low plant area, a shrub area, and a herbaceous area. Once the fruit seedlings arrive by express delivery, Chen Hong will be very busy.
Fortunately, not many people in rural areas use Taobao to shop now, so the packages are delivered to the county's express delivery point, not directly into the village. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain it to people! Once I receive the delivery notification, I just need to quietly gather all the fruit seedlings without the villagers knowing.
When I go to the city and county, I will also need to purchase some commonly used items to store in the space, so that it will be convenient to use in the future.
I don't know if the water in the space river can support sea fish. If not, then we can dig a small pond and collect some seawater to raise some sea fish.
From now on, I must thoroughly understand the space, make full use of all available resources, and maximize its value. Tomorrow, I'll go out shopping to fill the space!
The next morning, after drying the mountain produce on the roof, feeding the chickens and ducks, and weighing down the wine caps, she and her son ate breakfast together and then went out together.
One took snacks to his grandfather's house, and the other rode a tricycle to the county.
Chen Hong first went to the county agricultural machinery station and spent 5,600 yuan to buy a small hand-held tractor and a matching rotary tiller and ridge-building machine.
I spent another 180 yuan on a small water pump and a snakeskin water pipe, and another 150 yuan on a set of farm tools. Before even leaving the farm machinery station, I had already spent nearly 6,000 yuan, and there were still many things I hadn't bought!
I went to the fishing tackle shop and bought a better quality fishing rod for over 2,000 yuan. I also bought a bunch of fishing lines and hooks of various sizes. These are consumables and need to be replaced frequently.
I bought more than ten kilograms of bloodworms, live shrimp, and small squid as live bait, spending a total of more than 2,500 yuan. The cost of fishing gear alone can be quite expensive!
Many people are reluctant to spend money. The marine resources are already scarce, and with outdated fishing tools, the harvest is even worse.
After leaving the fishing tackle shop, Chen Hong drove to Xiaojiao Village, about seven miles west of the city, where several beekeeping families lived.
Once outside the city, Chen Hong found a secluded corner to block the view, and seeing that no one was around, she quickly stored the farm machinery and tools into her spatial storage.
Upon entering the village, Chen Hong learned that a family was selling bees, so she bought five beehives. The family also kindly told her about the things to pay attention to when raising bees and gave her a small honey extractor as a gift.
Although it cost 500 yuan, Chen Hong still felt it was worth it, as it was much safer and more efficient than collecting wild bees on the mountain herself.
After a morning of driving, Chen Hong drove home without stopping. When she reached the corner, she put the five boxes of bees into her spatial storage. She couldn't bring these back to the village. If the villagers saw them and then couldn't find where the bees were kept, there would be no way to explain it!
I walked home under the scorching sun. As soon as I got home, I went to the backyard and picked two stalks of celery and two eggplants. I went into the kitchen and started cooking rice, then made braised eggplant, a celery and dried shrimp salad, and a seaweed and egg soup.
Chen Hong called Yu Yang's grandfather and asked Yu Yang to come home for dinner. She went up to the roof to check the dried mountain produce. The sun was strong today, so it would be ready to be stored in an airtight container this afternoon.
A little while later, Yu Yang returned home, and the mother and son ate lunch together. Yu Yang then bathed her son and put him to bed for a nap. Chen Hong used a wooden pestle to press down the cap on the wine vat. Seeing the abundant bubbles and thorough fermentation, Chen Hong covered the vat with gauze.
She then fed and watered the chickens and ducks, cleaned the kitchen, and while her son was asleep, she replaced the water in the water dispenser with water from her inner space. Chen Hong then went back to her room to sleep.
When I woke up from my afternoon nap, it was almost 2 o'clock. I quickly got up, washed my face, and went to the kitchen to knead a bowl of dough to let it rise. I'll steam some buns for dinner when I get back.
After waking her son up and washing his face, Chen Hong asked him, "Xiao Bao, Mommy is going fishing this afternoon. Do you want to go find Grandpa or come with me on the boat?"
Xiao Bao said happily, "I'll go on the boat with you. It's been a long time since the elders have been on a boat. I'll call Grandpa first to tell him that he'll worry if he doesn't see me." After making the call, he found his hat, rubber boots, and water bottle and prepared them for Chen Hong to pack her things and leave.
