Chapter 360 The Wisdom of the Female Supporting the Wild Star Farming (20)
After returning from the trade fair, Xu Yin sat down and carefully sorted out the farming plan for next spring.
But before that, she had to build the waterwheel.
Therefore, before the cold season came, I took the Kaxiu brothers and cut down a few trees from the mangrove forest.
On the way to the mangroves, I saw the bare Hanghuan Lake, and I couldn't help but think of the oil palm trees surviving by the saltwater lake. If you want to transform the soil and water, you still have to plant trees.
Unfortunately, with her current balance of energy points, she could no longer exchange for a few saplings. So she looked through the system warehouse and remembered that she had stocked up on some fruit saplings before.
After searching around, I found it!
She still has a lot of various fruit saplings and old vines.
The soil around the pit lake is much better than the saline-alkali land in the salt water lake. If you plow it deeply and retrench it with some fertilizer, you should be able to survive.
Unfortunately, the cold season is approaching, and it’s too late this year. Let’s wait until spring and the flowers bloom before planting trees. Then we can plant a circle around the pit and build a grape trellis around the lake.
However, in this case, the bees that originally only lived in the Insect Forest and occasionally came to her vegetable patch to collect honey may choose to make their home nearby.
There was nothing else, except that the bees here were surprisingly big, one was six or seven times the size of an ordinary bee, and Xu Yin was a little afraid of these little things.
But she was a little greedy for honey, and she was thinking about making a few beehives and placing them in fields and fruit trees to experience the daily life of a beekeeper.
Not only can you slowly overcome your fear of these little things through understanding, but you can also harvest a variety of fruits and honey. Why not?
After making up her mind, she used her few remaining energy points to buy a "Beekeeping Guide" in the system mall, which contained the drawings for making beehives.
So, Xu Yin spent this cold season busy making beehives and making water trucks.
Others came to help when they had nothing to do.
Xu Yin gave some simple work to Simon and others, and she was responsible for polishing the fine work and core components.
She had seen an old carpenter build a waterwheel once during the Yan Dynasty, but this was her first time operating a beehive.
Fortunately, the drawings and steps provided by the system are clear, and combined with the "scene simulation" function, I finally succeeded!
Once the cold season is over, she places these beehives at some distance apart near the vegetable fields and Hanghuan Lake.
Before the fruit trees are planted, a wave of rapeseed is planted first.
Rapeseed flowers should also be loved by bees.
Then load up the water tanker.
People in the interstellar age saw the waterwheel running and delivering bucket after bucket of water to the canals dug in advance, which was different from the surprise of the ancient people.
They were curious because this thing was actually made of wood.
Xu Yingxiong actually knows this ancient craft that is about to be lost? How amazing!
So when she looked at Xu Yin, her previous fear and admiration turned into worship.
I can't help but guess: Could it be that because he was too capable, the elders of the Mecha Association who rejected ancient crafts teamed up to conquer the Exile Star?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, at this moment Xu Yin became one of the few inheritors of ancient craftsmanship in their hearts, and their admiration and worship for her was like the water of a lake that never dries up.
Xu Yin didn't know that during the time between assembling a waterwheel, the gang would have a love-hate drama between the mecha and the inherited craft factions in their hearts.
She watched the waterwheel run a few times with satisfaction, clapped her hands and said, "Go to my house to get rice seeds. I'll teach you how to soak your hair and sow it!"
Spring is the best time for farming, and she doesn't want to waste a moment.
When everyone heard that they could grow soft, chewy, delicious and filling natural ingredients, they rushed to Xu Yin's house.
Xu Yin distributed rice seeds to them and taught them how to soak them.
During the soaking period, let them clear out the seedling land first.
Planting rice is a two-step process, first raising the seedlings and then transplanting the seedlings.
Everyone followed Xu Yin, doing what she taught them.
Some of these people once lived a life of licking blood, some were star thieves with no fixed abode, and some once achieved great success but ended up in this situation due to a momentary mistake.
However, at this moment, everyone has the same identity, that is - newcomers in the farming world!
Looking at the cautious way they hold the soaked seeds and go to the ground to raise seedlings, they look like beasts sniffing roses.
During the rice seedling nursery period, Xu Yin divided the remaining wasteland around Kenghuan Lake for everyone, so as not to interfere with the harmony between you and me.
After they were divided, let them dig up the land individually.
Her hundreds of acres of land that was cleared before the cold season were planted with grains, fruits and vegetables. As soon as the ice was unsealed, the mud softened, triggering the "Floating Light and Rain" again, and she could plant it with a little digging.
Even one person can do it.
Unexpectedly, everyone still spontaneously came to help. They plowed their own land in the morning and came to loosen the soil for her in the afternoon.
In this way, within a few days, Xu Yin planted the first crop of vegetables in spring, and then planted ten acres of sugar cane.
In the remaining land, after the rice seedlings have been planted, water will be poured into the fields to transplant the rice seedlings.
A group of people were very busy.
None of them were too lazy to pick up the supply packages. In the end, Andrew, who had the best stamina and was the fastest, was sent to take Kahn to the drop coordinate point, and used a large sack to get everyone's supply packages back.
Others gave the two of them a bottle of nutrient solution as payment for running errands, but they both disliked it.
"I don't want to eat my own nutrient solution, so you should give me a pound of rice when the rice is ripe!"
"..."
It only took half a year to go from looting to just taking your own share without fighting or grabbing, to not even bothering to take your own share.
Before that, the looting situation lasted for unknown generations.
If the people in the supervision office saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
Fortunately, they couldn't see that Xu Yin and the native people of the Exile Star worked together to open up wasteland and build homes.
It took a year to completely turn all the wasteland around the lake into fertile farmland.
Everyone has their own field, eats natural food, and lives in a two-bedroom apartment that is the same as Xu Yin's. Some of them are ingenious and even build unique buildings.
However, the foundation's firmness is limited. Living on the second floor is fine, but the third floor is worried about collapse if lived in for a long time. Therefore, only the second floor is built.
After it was built, everyone thought it was beautiful, so before another cold season came, after the food was put into the warehouse, they had nothing to do and collectively had an addiction to infrastructure construction.
Xu Yin couldn't help but build a two-story western-style building next to the original two-bedroom bungalow. The original bungalow became her tool room and granary.
The spring of the following year was warm and the flowers were blooming. She gave each house a handful of flower seeds and planted them in front of and behind the building. There were bougainvillea, coral vine, wall-creeper, and sky flower... The vines climbed along the courtyard wall to the second floor roof. By midsummer,
The space has become a unique scenery.
This is a beautiful home they built with their hands and hard work. With such an environment, they would be happy to live here not only for the rest of their lives, but also for the next life and the next life after that.
There is no longer the frustration, anger, and despair that they had when they first arrived. Now, they have an unprecedented passion for life, and they have endless energy when they open their eyes.
