Chapter 33

Work

Fang Xin changed into a set of casual long-sleeved trousers and slipped into the space with the dog.

As soon as the dog entered the space, he ran straight to the pasture and played with the livestock.

Fang Xin didn't care about it. It couldn't be lost anyway, and she still had a lot of work to do.

Some of the vegetables in the growing area are already ripe, so they need to be picked, otherwise they will become unpalatable after a few days.

Pick all the beans that have not been picked first, as they will grow again in a few days.

After picking the beans, I turned around and started picking peppers, including big peppers and spicy peppers.

There are two baskets in total.

Then there is coriander. It grows very tall, much taller than ordinary coriander. It looks almost as tall as celery. From a distance, you might think it is celery.

Dig out the coriander roots as well. They are delicious and can remove fishy and greasy smells, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. They can also supplement vitamin C.

Shake off the soil on the roots and put them into baskets, two large baskets in total.

After finishing the coriander, add the Chinese cabbage, lettuce, stinky greens, spinach, and romaine lettuce.

Pick them up one by one and put them into baskets.

These vegetables are enough to eat for a while. When you grow vegetables again, you can stop planting these vegetables and plant something else to diversify.

I looked at the other vegetables and they haven't grown yet. It looks like they will take a few more days, but there's no rush.

When we arrived at the cornfield, we saw three cobs of corn on each plant. Each cob was very big and plump. When we peeled open a corn, we could see the golden and yellow corn kernels inside, which was very pleasing to the eye.

I pressed it with my fingernail and the juice burst out. It was neither too tender nor too old, perfect for cooking or grilling.

Fang Xin didn't plan to wait until the corn was harvested and the pulp was harvested, but just broke it off and ate the green corn directly.

He found a pair of white cotton gloves and put them on, then he carried a large backpack and started to work with both hands.

Click, click~

The sound of cracking corn is very relaxing. I worked harder and harder and didn't feel tired at all.

We planted less than one acre of corn, but harvested 4,000 cobs, each weighing about 450 grams, a very high yield.

After picking all the corn, there is still another tiring task, which is to cut the corn stalks.

Just take out the sickle, roll up your arms and get to work. I've been working in the fields since I was a few years old. I've done all kinds of work. This is nothing. I can do it easily and just treat it as exercise.

According to incomplete statistics, farmers live longer than city dwellers because they are always working so their physical fitness is relatively good, and they eat green food from their own gardens.

Naturally, the average lifespan is longer.

Pile all the corn stalks together and beat them into feed when you have time.

After finishing the planting area, Fang Xin headed straight to the ranch.

All the fruit trees were taken out, and the shovels were picked up to start digging holes, with a distance of four meters between each hole. All the holes were dug first.

Then put some snow in each hole, wait for the snow to melt into water, and then wait for the water to seep into the soil before planting the fruit trees.

When I was stocking up, I carefully put a label on each fruit tree so that I could know which tree was which variety.

Plant the short plants together and the tall plants together.

A total of 70 trees were planted.

The bare branches look ugly now, but they will look nice when the fruit trees grow all green, especially when they bloom and bear fruits.

Fang Xin is looking forward to the day when the fruits are ripe. The fruits in the space must be delicious.

I harvested the remaining grapes on the vine and planned to plant them next to the house.

A strawberry seedling fell on the grass. Oh, she put the strawberry seedling together with the fruit tree, and she had forgotten about the strawberries.

What are you waiting for? Of course you should plant it.

So I planted more than 30 trees along the edge of the pasture. You don't need to plant too many of these plants, as they have a strong reproductive capacity, and one plant can reproduce more than a dozen.

When the strawberries grow, they must be carefully cared for, otherwise they will grow in large patches and eventually the entire ranch will be destroyed.

Three acres of land were reserved in the southeast corner to plant bamboo.

It may seem that three acres of land is very little, but actually it is not too little at all, it is about 200 square meters, enough to plant a lot of bamboos.
