Looking down at the basket, I saw that half of the soapberries were gone.
Looking across the basket at the ground, there was a pile of soapberries. Da Bao was standing on it, with his two paws stretched out long, one of which was hooked on the basket. The whole cat looked like a spring stretched out.
Su Tang and Da Bao locked eyes.
"Awoo~" Da Bao whimpered, his watery eyes like jewels, looking completely innocent.
"..."
Su Tang put the soapberry away again, took some dried meat, and shooed the kittens out to play in the yard.
While collecting soapberries, I found one that had been torn in half and another that had been gnawed in half.
Su Tang: It's obvious which little brat chewed this.
I wonder if eating soapberries will cause poisoning and diarrhea...
Su Guodong and Da Qing dusted themselves off, washed their hands and faces, and then continued talking about their day's harvest.
"I planted the apple saplings I nurtured a few days ago today. We can plant a large area of them. In a few years, when the apple trees grow up, we will have an apple orchard!"
Su Tang thought it sounded good. The fruit grown on the farm was only enough for her family to eat. If they wanted to exchange for white stone in the future, they would need more food sources.
The white stone may seem plentiful now, but by modern living standards, his family wouldn't actually be able to eat it for very long.
Especially since there are no refrigerators here, the meat has to be cured with white stones to prevent it from spoiling, which consumes a lot of white stones.
"That's not right." Su Tang suddenly realized something. "Father, where did you get the apple saplings from the seeds you cultivated?"
Su Guodong chuckled a few times, "I took out all the seeds from the apples we ate earlier."
Not one left.
They've all been cultivated into apple saplings.
"I must say, the seeds from this farm are really special; the germination rate is 100%."
He was stunned when he saw the lush green saplings.
If these were cultivated using seeds from the ancient continent, he estimated that a 10% germination rate would be a blessing.
Su Tang was speechless. Her father was serious about farming.
Su Guodong continued:
"I plan to plant these apple saplings in the place where I cut down the trees before, and then cultivate the rest into fields to grow some food crops. Honey, I didn't save any of the other seeds. Could you get me some when you have time?"
"No problem." Su Tang nodded. Agriculture is the most fundamental element for development.
Only when the problem of food is solved can life get better and better.
For each type of fruit in the warehouse, Su Tang kept ten as backup to avoid running out of seeds when planting later.
After asking Su Guodong about his needs, Su Tang took out five portions of each of the following from the farm: corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, baby bok choy, and carrots.
It's in the experimental stage at the beginning. Su Guodong plans to expand the planting area after the cultivation is successful.
Although he was eager to get the planting business up and running quickly, he was also very meticulous, as this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight.
afternoon.
Su Tang felt that the hallucination should not reappear, so she kept her promise and took the kittens out to play.
We arrived at land that had not yet been fully cultivated.
A small patch of land had already been turned over; the tree roots inside had been dug out, and the soil had been broken into small pieces.
It was just a small plot of land. Looking ahead, there was a large expanse of uncultivated land, with countless weeds and tree stumps crisscrossing, almost occupying most of Su Tang's field of vision.
She then realized that so many trees had been cut down to build the wooden house.
Several kittens were jumping around in the grass, grabbing each other's tails, chasing and playing, having a great time.
Of course, besides the four treasures.
Sibao followed behind, swaying back and forth like an old leader on inspection. It would lie down to rest from time to time, and only after the kittens in front had run far away would it stand up again to catch up, and then lie down again.
Seeing this, Su Tang turned to Da Qing and asked:
"Daqing, are there any wild animals roaming around here?"
Daqing shook his head and assured him, "There were no wild animals. When I pushed the tree down, all the wild animals in the area ran away with their families."
He was quite proud of it.
Recently, while following his uncle around, he also learned something called idioms.
Talking is such an interesting thing!
Beast: Thank you!
Su Tang's lips twitched. Seeing Da Qing's assurance, she figured it must be safe here, so she let the cub play.
I brought them out today just to walk the cats.
If I were staying at home, I would have started tearing the house apart by now.
Speaking of which, why does she still need to walk her kitten?
Isn't that usually done by walking the dog?!
Su Tang didn't understand, so she went to help plant trees with Da Qing.
As an exemplary young woman, she felt uneasy if she didn't do something after cutting down so many trees to build the wooden house.
Apple saplings vary in size and were not cultivated at the same time.
Su Tang planted a batch of saplings that reached about calf height. Da Qing used her eagle claws to dig holes, and she would put the saplings in. Su Guodong would then come over with a hoe and a bucket of water, bury the saplings, and then water them with two or three scoops of water.
When Su Guodong was farming, he was meticulous, his face covered in mud, and there were several obvious wrinkles around his eyes.
He used to be hunched over and often had to take medicine at home. But after coming to the ancient continent, he worked every day and his health improved. His back became straight and he had the strength to do everything.
Looking at her father, Su Tang felt as if she were seeing him when he was young.
Unlike her two older brothers, she spends more time at home.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that she has never worked in the fields with her father or done what her father liked to do the most.
