Chapter 85: Finally Planted
This land is adjacent to the swamps of various sizes surrounding the Glimmer Lake and has abundant water resources, so Josh doesn't have to worry about it.
Mr. Luman said before that these mutant plants were the ones he brought back from the swamp. They like water and moisture, so they are perfect for planting in this land.
As for the management of rivers and ditches, Josh now has four little experts, the beavers.
Ever since Josh solemnly invited them to stay on the farm as water conservancy experts, they have been doing their job conscientiously, busy all day long swimming around in the river.
Eat up all the weeds and dead trees in the rivers and ditches, dredge them, build riverbanks and dams in areas with less water.
The four tiny beavers managed the four farmland waterways in an orderly manner, and in just a few days they gave Josh a lot of surprises.
To reward them, Qiao Xi specially made a pot of fish balls and reserved it for them. They became plumper and fuller day by day.
Just then, Sto's contract was delivered by carrier pigeon. Josh took a quick look at it and couldn't see anything wrong with it.
I scanned a copy using the communicator and sent it to Ticha, asking him to help take a look.
The communicator was slow in transmitting and receiving messages, so Josh didn't just sit there and wait.
I turned out the mutant ground-plant seeds, soaked them in a basin of clean water, and carefully screened the seeds.
Check to see if there is any disease or mold.
Although he checked them when he bought them, and Mr. Luman said that he had carefully selected the seeds before selling them to the public, they had been kept secret by Josh for so many days and had never been seen by the light of day.
I don't know if there is any problem, so I have to check it now.
Well, the quality is very good. Josh moved the seeds and checked each one roughly before taking them out of the water and preparing to plant them.
The soil in the burned land was fertile and rich in organic matter, and pests and diseases were also burned to death. Qiao Xi walked forward along the ditch dug by the digging pigs and sowed seeds.
The burrowing rat had already dug one planting hole after another in advance, waiting for Josh to sow the seeds.
The golden macaques followed suit and each took a small packet of seeds and sowed them one by one very quickly.
Qiao Xi recalled that Mr. Luman had said before that in the swamp where the mutants were born and lived, there were swamp monkeys that were consciously cultivating these crops, which meant that they needed a lot of fertilizer. She specifically instructed the golden-armored dung beetles to send as much fermented fertilizer as possible here.
These mutant plants must maintain sufficient fertility and grow high-quality fruits comparable to those in the wild, so that they can become the specialty crops of Weiguang Farm.
She had to prepare for the farm rating competition.
More than ten golden macaques sowed seeds with her, and the mutant ground-blooming plants were soon planted in the field. Then the digging pigs dug the soil back and forth and covered them with a thin layer of fine soil. Qiao Xi could then wait at home for the ground-blooming plants to sprout with peace of mind.
The communicator lit up, and when I opened it, I saw it was a message from Ticha.
"Good afternoon, Miss Qiao Xi. The contract is basically the same as the one you sent me before, but there are some ambiguities in the details. I have revised it for you. Please check it."
He said it politely, and Josh politely said thank you, then clicked on the contract to take a closer look.
It didn't matter at first glance. It was not just the details that were vague. It was a complete revision. Although the words were still the same, it looked a lot more formal and the wording was strict. There was no vague wording to blur the division of profits. Josh forwarded this version of the contract to Sto, and quickly sent a long thank-you letter to Ticha.
However, such thanks were not sincere enough, so Josh sent him a large package of thank-you gifts from the farm by carrier pigeon.
The remaining big-tail yak milk after supplying Mr. Ruman every week was only enough for Josh's occasional breakfast, in addition to providing the elves with occasional snacks.
Fortunately, there was some butter left over from before, which had a strong milky flavor and rich energy properties. Josh wrapped it up and added some milk pancakes made with the milk of the jumping lamb, and the dough and dried fish that were specially left over, which was just right to give to Ticha.
The gift was delivered by the carrier pigeons that deliver newspapers every day. Besides delivering letters, they also do other jobs part-time. Josh used two pieces of dried fish fillets and asked them to help deliver the gift.
Sto hasn't replied yet. I don't know whether he saw it or not, or if he saw it but pretended not to. Who cares? Anyway, he started work one day later, so he suffered a little more loss. Don't try to play tricks on the details.
Lying on the chair, feeling a little bored, Qiao Xi began to count the golden-armored dung beetles passing by. Eh, something was wrong, so she sat up.
"One, Two, Three, why are there so many more? Even if they just hatched upon arriving at the farm, they can't grow that fast, right?" Looking at the obviously increased number of golden-armored dung beetles, Josh fell into deep suspicion.
Noticing Josh's eyes, the leading golden-armored dung beetle flew over and asked, "What's wrong with Josh?"
Qiao Xi pointed at the series of small teams and was a little confused: "Why are there so many golden-armored dung beetles? Do you reproduce? So quickly?" Their reproductive ability is too strong!
"Click!" No, these are our new friends. When the farmland was on fire a few days ago, they ran out from the fields and we accepted them.
The golden-armored dung beetle proudly raised its upper body, feeling a little proud.
"Click!" We are not alike, you see. It unfolded its glittering golden carapace and motioned for Josh to see the difference between the two.
The newly arrived golden-armored dung beetles were indeed a little dull, not as dazzling as these, and were also smaller in size.
Otherwise, Josh would not have treated them as the children of the golden-armored dung beetles.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Josh, the owner of the Glimmer Farm. I'm sorry that you lost your home." Josh squatted in front of the new dung beetle, looking apologetic.
"Click" "Click!" The new dung beetles responded to Josh actively. It turned out that place was not their real home. They had just migrated from the Twilight Forest and were temporarily living in that thorn bush. They did not regard it as their home.
They were attracted by the "chocolate beans" thrown everywhere by the jumping lambs. They migrated here because they felt that there was abundant food, a suitable environment, and no predators.
But there was a small change in the middle.
Even if Josh didn't clear the land, they would leave the thorny field and would sooner or later join the golden-armored dung beetles.
Well, Josh smiled helplessly. The excrement of the jumping lamb was indeed all over the ground. Even if the golden-armored dung beetles worked diligently every day to maintain the farm environment, those at the edge of the glimmering forest were too far away and they were powerless.
Unexpectedly, it had some positive effect. Josh was speechless.
Ever since the farm has had more and more high-level magical beasts, the jumping lambs have become more and more arrogant, relying on the support of the beasts.
I often bully the small monsters that appear from time to time on the edge of the forest. I am afraid I am notorious in the Glimmering Forest. I didn’t expect that I could attract new dung beetles. This is really a good thing.
