In the blink of an eye, the joyful Spring Festival is coming to an end.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the last day of the New Year. After today, everyone who is supposed to go out to work will have to go out, and those at home will start preparing for farm work.
At the tail end of February, whether in the fields nearby or on the mountains far away, the rapeseed planted in autumn bloomed with golden yellow rapeseed flowers, and industrious bees were flying everywhere, collecting nectar from the flowers.
In the vegetable field, all the cabbage and green vegetables that we eat in winter have been removed, so we won’t be able to eat them later.
After breaking off the cabbage seeds, I chopped them up and fed them to the ducks at home.
The vacant land must be prepared to plant a wave of seasonal vegetables.
"Mom, what are you doing today?"
Zhang An looked at Wang Fang who was digging the ground with a hoe, and also brought a hoe over to help.
"While I'm free these days, I'll plant some spicy rice seedlings and eggplant seedlings in the empty space at the end of the garden."
There are quite a lot of things you can plant in spring, including peppers, eggplants, green beans and cucumbers.
You must grow cabbage, which is a big vegetable among vegetables. Plant Chinese cabbage in winter and small cabbage in spring.
Before planting peppers and eggplants, seedlings need to be raised first, and then transplanted when they grow into seedlings.
Of the two crops, more peppers need to be planted. Anyway, the amount is almost enough to plant two parts of the land. Eggplants don’t need much, just for seasonal consumption.
Because peppers can not only be picked and eaten when they are green and tender, but also used to pickle and chop peppers when they are red. The most is left in the end. When they are red, they are picked and dried, and then they are pounded into chili noodles.
.
Just sowing seeds won't take up much land, and Zhang An plowed the land in a short time.
Wang Fang dug ridges at the back and evenly spread pepper seeds and eggplant seeds on the ridge platform.
Finally, cover with a layer of relatively crumbled moist soil.
If the temperature is low, it needs to be covered with tarpaulin. Nowadays, there is no film sales in Hongyan Town, so they are always covered with tarpaulin.
After finishing these two things, I started planting green beans and cucumbers.
And planting these two things doesn't have to be so troublesome. You just need to loosen the ground, make a nest directly on it, put the seeds in and plant them directly.
You don’t need to plant many cucumbers, usually eight to ten cucumbers are enough. These cucumbers are so high-yielding that there will always be melons growing on one vine.
Many people plant them in the corner of the wall or next to a stone, so there is no need to build a shelf.
However, Zhang An’s family grew them along with the green beans and they had to be put on a shelf, so they didn’t plant them in the corners of the ground intentionally.
In the end, Wang Fang did not forget to plant a few nests of small melon seeds on the side. Its scientific name is zucchini, but Zhang An has always been surprised. This thing is not close to gourds, so why did it get such a name?
.
Unconsciously, more than ten days passed, and the saplings in the cherry forest were growing well. Thanks to Zhang An's watering every day, they basically survived.
The growth-promoting effect of the space spring water has weakened a lot after leaving the space. Although the growth rate is not as visible as in the space, the growth rate can be seen with the naked eye, but one thing a day is already very strong.
Zhang An was even worried that it would be too conspicuous, and after he finally survived, he stopped watering every day.
Today is Sunday again, and the ducks at home have accumulated a lot of duck eggs. Zhang An's family will definitely not be able to finish them all by themselves.
In the past few days, people from the village often come to exchange for duck eggs, but there are still a lot left.
So Wang Fang got up in the morning and took these duck eggs to the street to sell them for money.
Zhang An has nothing to do, so he doesn't want to go to town.
Thinking of the deer in space.
No.
Now it was a big deer. Zhang An took a hoe and went to the mountains.
I wanted to release it back into the mountains before, but Zhang An never entered the mountains.
I have nothing to do today, so I went to the mountains to breathe some fresh air.
As winter turns to spring, sprouts have sprouted on the bare branches on the mountain, and green leaves will soon grow.
The originally withered and yellow weeds began to turn green, and as the birds returned home, the mountains began to become lively again, no longer as silent as in winter.
When they reached the depths of the mountain, Zhang An released the mountain deer.
The mountain deer that just came out is still a little confused. It is already used to living in the space.
But after discovering Zhang An, he still leaned against Zhang An gently.
It is now almost as tall as Zhang An, and has a pair of huge antlers on its head.
There are still a few old corners left in the space that fell off before.
Hardened antlers are worthless.
"Go, the mountains are your home, I can't lock you up for the rest of your life." Zhang An patted its back. The smooth deerskin felt very comfortable, and the short layer of down was soft.
.
After a lot of effort, Zhang An finally sent away the deer. At the same time, he released a group of silver chickens. There were too many of them in the space at the beginning, and Zhang An hadn't discovered that he could control their population at that time.
As a result, a large group of silver roosters appeared in the space, so after Zhang An left a few of them today, he basically released them all.
Compared to Yamaga, these guys are just a bunch of heartless things.
Although they were a little panicked after Zhang An was released, they adapted later and headed into the mountains and forests under the leadership of their elder brother.
He had no intention of missing Zhang An at all, which made Zhang An feel a little bit at a loss.
Although the silver roosters grown up in space look like children growing up in a greenhouse, Zhang An believes that they are not stupid and can survive well in the mountains.
In later generations, the silver pheasants were hunted too much in the mountains, and there were not many left in the area near Hongyan Town. In the end, they were no longer seen.
Zhang An released more than a hundred of them this time, hoping that this would bring more numbers and development to their population.
If possible, Zhang An would prefer to meet another distant relative of them, who is also a prisoner, so that he can use the space to help them expand their population and avoid extinction.
For Zhang An, the only silver chicken he gave to Li Hongbin was the one that Zhang An profited from at the time, but he no longer had such thoughts. If he had to do it over again, Zhang An would not choose to exchange them for money again.
But later I heard Li Hongbin say that the silver rooster was well raised in that person's house and the owner liked it very much, but it was just like a bird in a cage and was not free.
Hearing the news, Zhang An's inner guilt also disappeared. Although he was a bird in a cage, it was better than having a meal on the table, and he had no worries about eating and drinking. Such a life was much more comfortable than living in the wild.
Having finished what he had to do when he came to the mountains, Zhang An started walking around in the mountains.
If he could come across some beautiful wildflowers and trees, he wouldn't mind digging them up and planting them. They would also look good in the yard.
Who gave Zhang An the hobby of collecting stamps?
It would be even better if you could meet something as big as ginseng and polygonum multiflorum. This thing will be valuable now and in future generations. Of course, it must be old.
But Zhang An doesn't care, even a seedling can grow into something big through space.
If they really meet, Zhang An will really make this money. Who makes Zhang An have no money now?
This is not stolen, and the effects of treasures such as wild ginseng produced in the space are definitely better than those outside. They may be able to save people at critical moments, which is also a good thing.
Thanks for the monthly pass I just discovered, thank you!!
