Chapter 266: Farming and Vegetables



"Mom, sister-in-law, Ranran, it's time to eat. My third sister-in-law prepared a large table of delicious food."

Before Yao Wenhong entered the yard, his resonant voice had already reached the living room.

When Lin Yiran and the others stood up after hearing the sound, Yao Wenhong had already stepped into the living room.

"Of course, are you feeling better?"

Yao Wenhong saw Lin Yiran standing up and rushed over to hold her arm, looking her up and down with a worried look on her face.

"Do you have enough strength? If not, I'll carry you over."

Before Yao Wenhong finished speaking, she had already bent down and prepared to pick up Lin Yiran.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law took Ranran in her arms first, and today she took the first step.

Before Lin Yiran could even say anything, she quickly grabbed Yao Wenhong's wrist.

"Second sister-in-law, there's no need to hold me. I'm fine after a good sleep."

"Come on, let's have breakfast together. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lin Yiran took Yao Wenhong's hand and walked out with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughters-in-law who loved each other, and her eyes narrowed with smile.

"Let's go and eat."

.........

I have to say that Zheng Yunyun’s cooking skills are really good, and the food on the table is delicious and fragrant.

Ever since the whole family drank the water mixed with the Dali Pills, they all became stronger and happier eaters.

There was a table full of dishes and a big pot of fried dough sticks made by Shanglu, all made by the whole family.

"The housing issue has been resolved, but the food issue still needs further discussion."

Lin Yiran took a sip of tea and glanced at the Xiao family.

"It's not enough to just plant corn. We also need to plant various vegetables while the weather is still warm."

"Mom, are there any vacant lots in the villages?"

Lin Yiran looked at Old Madam Xiao.

She took out a lot of corn seeds yesterday, and I don’t know if she has planted all of them.

Old Madam Xiao followed the soldiers to farm, and she should have seen it on the way back.

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "It's not finished yet. There's still a lot of land."

"Let the soldiers reclaim the land between Pingliang City and Shuitian City and plant sweet potatoes and corn. The whole city will have enough to eat for two years."

Affected by precipitation, the land types in the northwest region are mainly grassland and wasteland, and the water city is sparsely populated.

Otherwise, how could hundreds of thousands of troops be stationed in Shuitian City? It’s just that the place is big enough.

Now that Ranran is here and the rainfall can be controlled, the planting area can be much larger.

For the soldiers, clearing wasteland is also a form of physical exercise.

Now many refugees are flocking to Shuitian City every day, and the number of soldiers will only increase, so more land needs to be planted.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned.

"It's already the end of August, and the weather is getting a bit cold in the mornings and evenings. I'm afraid it's a bit late to plant sweet potatoes."

Although he was not proficient in agriculture, he had been stationed in Shuitian City for a long time and had some understanding of what the people planted in their fields.

The weather starts to get cold at the end of September and you need to wear autumn clothes. By the beginning of November, you can wear a thin cotton jacket.

The sweet potatoes in that field must have frozen to death.

He was very worried after planting the corn, fearing that it would not grow well due to the cold weather, let alone the sweet potatoes.

Madam Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's true that many things cannot be planted when the weather is cold."

"I remember sweet potatoes were planted before August. I'd have to ask someone who's good at planting for details."

All her experience in planting came from what she learned in Zhuangzi when she was young, and she had almost forgotten it over the years.

Lin Yiran frowned. She really didn't know anything about farming.

She opened the takeaway mall, searched for sweet potatoes, and asked the merchant about the planting time of sweet potatoes.

Merchant: "Spring planting: usually between March and April. Summer planting: usually between May and June. Autumn planting: usually between July and August."

Lin Yiran frowned as she looked at the sweet potato planting time sent by the merchant.

It is indeed a month late to plant sweet potatoes now.

But there is still so much empty land, it would be a waste not to plant anything.

She has plenty of food in her space, but if she only consumes it without replenishing it, it will definitely not last long.

This is only 100,000 soldiers. When there are a million soldiers, paying their salaries every month will be a huge expense.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and smiled.

"It's okay, we can do greenhouse planting."

Her former villa had a greenhouse glass house where various flowers were grown.

It’s like spring all year round, just like those greenhouse vegetables, you can plant whatever you want.

Greenhouse vegetables use plastic film, which shouldn’t cost much.

The main thing is that once it is done, she can continue to grow it, and she can save money on buying vegetables.

"Greenhouse cultivation!?" Everyone in the Xiao family looked at Lin Yiran in confusion.

What kind of planting method is this that can ignore weather and temperature issues?

Lin Yiran's heart skipped a beat when she was looked at by everyone.

"Xiao Yunzhan, what's the deal with greenhouse cultivation? You mentioned it to me on the way, have you forgotten?"

Lin Yiran quickly put the blame on Xiao Yunzhan. It was not good for her to know too much.

Everyone knows that the God King is in contact with Xiao Yunzhan, so let Xiao Yunzhan speak.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran in a daze. When everyone turned to look at him, he quickly lowered his eyelids to hide the shock in his eyes.

He frowned slightly, pretending to be in thought, but his heart was already boiling with anger.

Could you please let me know in advance? How can I make up a story out of the blue?
