Chapter 35
Second planting
After a nap, Fang Xin still felt tired. He couldn't stretch out his lazy muscles.
Fang Xinrou rubbed her sore arm and stood up.
Let's make a hot pot tonight. Hot pot is the best dish in winter.
Wash some vegetables, dogs like to eat them. Of course, dogs like to eat the products in the space, so wash more.
Place the washed vegetables on the table.
Thousand-layer tripe, lotus root slices, wide vermicelli, bean curd sticks, and mushrooms.
Potato chips, shrimp balls, corn sausage, duck intestines, lamb rolls, and beef rolls, one plate each.
There are also large prawns with heads and shrimp threads removed.
It’s very rich, all of which are my favorites.
Fang Xin took out two small pots, plugged them in, added water, and turned on the fire.
Chop the green onion, ginger and garlic and put them into the prepared dipping sauce, it is simply fragrant.
I made a slightly spicy hot pot base for myself, and the other pot was for the dog, which only had plain water.
When the water boils, pour it into the dog first, then yourself.
The dog had already picked up his food bowl and was waiting by the table.
The man and the dog ate with great relish.
There was very little food left on the table, and a large bowl of vegetables was empty. Not only the dog loved to eat them, but she did too.
As the saying goes, eating and drinking can soothe people's hearts. If you eat when you are in a good mood, you will feel better. If you eat when you are in a bad mood, you will feel better.
After eating, the dog lay on the floor with its belly turned up.
The dog has also been eating the products in the space, so the changes in the dog are also visible to the naked eye.
It has gained some weight, but is not fat at all. It is a strong type and looks very energetic. It is a healthy dog.
Fang Xin held a teacup in his hand, with hot steam rising from it, which dyed Fang Xin's face.
Brown sugar ginger tea is a bit sweet and spicy, and the taste is very unique. It tastes a bit unpalatable at first, but you get used to it after drinking it for a long time.
I’ve almost finished the brown sugar ginger tea I made last time, and I need to make a few more pots.
Well, we should plant some more ginger. Will the ginger in the space taste better?
Fang Xin's mind was wandering. She had just finished her meal and didn't want to move at all. It was nice to just sit there for a while.
Snowflakes were falling outside the house again. This time the snow was smaller, but the wind was still strong, and the big trees outside the house were blown all over the place.
My cell phone has been out of service for a long time. Even if it was connected, the signal in the mountains is not good. Now I am even more isolated from the world.
I have no idea what's going on in the outside world, but I can guess it without even thinking.
Relevant departments should work hard to integrate materials and prepare for related matters, such as building bases and post-disaster reconstruction.
It is definitely impossible to start construction outside in such freezing weather. We will probably do the same as in the previous life, choosing a suitable community as a temporary base, renovating the interior, and gathering people together.
In the previous life, the Fang family stayed at the base for three days and then ran back.
The base was still under construction in the early stages. The workload was huge and there was a lot of hard work. There was always endless work to do every day, and the food was not good either. It was the kind of situation where we could neither eat enough nor be starved to death.
How could the Fang family endure such hardship?
It's not as comfortable as having her at home, where she doesn't have to do any work and just wait for food every day.
They enjoyed the most happiness in this life, but they went directly to the underworld. Life was so hard, and only after death could one enjoy happiness. She could be considered to have accumulated virtue and done good deeds for the Fang family.
Merit +1.
Fang Xin then spent two days harvesting all the beans, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, and radishes in the vegetable garden.
Then all the straw is broken up by machines, packed into storage space, and used as livestock feed.
These are all good things, and they are also good for the health of livestock.
Only the potatoes are left to be harvested, but they still need a few days to grow, so we can just wait a few days, there is no rush.
That is to say, vegetables take about two months to mature, and potato grains take about two and a half months to mature.
Including the time for planting and harvesting, four crops can be grown in a year.
Although there are only two mu of land, its output is high.
Fang Xin was stunned by the series of surprises, as excited as if he had won 2 million in the lottery.
“Hahaha, Tuntun, we’re rich.” Fang Xin held the dog in his arms, kissing and rubbing it, “We won’t have to worry about food and drink in the future. We’re rich, you know? We’re definitely rich, hahaha…”
Fang Xin then started farming again.
No, we can't rest. The fields are still empty and we need to start planting quickly.
We should plant some more rice so that we can eat rice from the planting space in the future.
Thinking of this, Fang Xin immediately ran to the planting area and started planning.
With more than two acres of land, we should plan to plant more varieties to enrich the variety.
Divide the planting into several areas.
200 square meters of rice are planted near the fence.
Plant some beans, millet, etc. on 500 square meters.
500 square meters for fruits and vegetables.
A 100-square-meter area is reserved on the right side in front of the house to plant some medicinal herbs.
Grapes are planted on the left side of the house.
In the middle is a long trail leading to the ranch.
After planning, start working.
First, dig out 200 square meters of paddy field.
There is no need to raise seedlings by sowing seeds directly. The temperature in the space is not low, and the rice seeds can germinate in the natural environment, so the germination step can be completely omitted.
Plant three seeds at a time, about ten centimeters apart, and then cover them with some soil.
Throw the snow collected from outside into the pond until the soil becomes moist.
I plan to water the plants heavily after the seedlings emerge and take root, for fear that the seeds will be washed away.
I have never planted like this before. I always planted seedlings. This time I will skip the seedling raising process and try it this way to see if it works.
100 square meters of soybeans, 100 square meters of red beans, and after the potatoes are dug up, some rice will be planted, totaling 300 square meters.
100 square meters of cantaloupe, 100 square meters of watermelon, 100 square meters of broccoli, 100 square meters of zucchini, 100 square meters of onion, ginger and garlic.
100 square meters each of ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, saffron, ganoderma lucidum, astragalus, dangshen, and angelica.
10 black wolfberries and 10 red wolfberries.
Add some licorice for moistening the lungs and relieving cough, some honeysuckle for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and some isatis root for treating colds.
100 square meters are full of species.
It took three days to plant all these.
Then I started to pick potatoes without stopping.
We harvested 6,000 kilograms of potatoes from less than half an acre of land, which is almost catching up with the output of an acre outside. It is really a bumper harvest. Each potato is of uniform size, none of them is too big. It is also easy to peel the potatoes, and none of them are hollow.
Bag the potatoes and store them in warehouse.
Fang Xin looked at the pile of potato vines in the field.
Suddenly I thought of one thing, is the fertility of black soil permanent? Probably not! No matter how good the land is, it is impossible for it to be fertile forever.
The land outside also needs to be cultivated, and cannot be used for planting blindly, otherwise the harvest will not be good.
Fang Xin decided to make his own organic fertilizer.
Dig a shallow pit at the edge of the land, throw all the potato vines into the pit, and finally cover it with soil.
Over time, the contents will automatically decompose into fertilizer, which can be dug out and spread on the ground to effectively improve the soil without delaying the planting of crops.
Fang Xin decided to make organic fertilizer after each harvest to nourish the land, instead of just using and taking from it.
