Chapter 39: The Lazy Man's Garden
After speaking, he seemed to feel that there was nothing to talk to Canghai, and the old man put on a plastic sheet and ran into the light rain again.
After Canghai made up his mind, he went to the house to find something to eat, brought the noon food, and drove the ugly donkey to drag the saplings to Fenghuanggou again.
After digging a few pickaxes, Canghai was happy, because the soil on the light rain was much easier to dig, and the pit of the same size now only took less than half of the previous effort, and then the tree pinching trick was cast in one go. Suddenly, a lot of effort was saved, and Canghai worked a little harder, and at the end of the day, he planted more than thirty small bottle saplings, which was much smoother than before.
The light rain has rained for three days, the efficiency of Canghai has improved a lot, the bottle tree of the whole Phoenix Ditch is officially planted, the Phoenix Ditch is good, but the workload has not reached half, because the soil potential of the Phoenix Ditch is much flatter than that of the Clamp Tuo, and the ups and downs of the soil are also small.
After two days of busy work, while the soil on the ground has not yet dried out, Canghai's daily planting time has been automatically extended by two hours, going before dawn in the morning, and returning to the village in the evening with stars and moons.
After today's work, it was already more than eight o'clock when I returned to the village.
"Haiwazi!"
As soon as he entered the village, Hu Shijie stopped Canghai.
"What's the matter?" Canghai asked.
Hu Shijie said: "There are not many vegetables in the village, you have to go into the countryside to buy some meat tomorrow!"
"I see, what are you missing?" Canghai asked again.
"Can't you top the vegetables in your garden?" asked Hu Shijie.
Hearing Hu Shijie say this, Canghai was stunned for a moment: "Can I eat the vegetables in my home?"
Hu Shijie was also stunned for a moment like Canghai at this moment: "You kid doesn't know that your vegetable garden has grown?"
Canghai touched his nose: "I'm busy planting trees these days, and I really haven't paid attention!"
Hu Shijie lost his temper, threw down the sentence "Go see for yourself" with his hands behind his back, turned around and left.
Hearing this, Canghai drove the car back to his own kiln, and came to his own vegetable garden under the slope of the new kiln to see, good guy, the small greens ordered by his own house are almost up to his knees, and any green peppers and tomatoes have grown to near the thighs, and the whole vegetable garden is thriving.
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so Canghai went back to the kiln, and after eating and washing, he went to bed, preparing to go to see his vegetable garden early tomorrow morning.
Waiting for the sky to brighten, Canghai got up and the first thing he did was to look at his vegetable garden.
Standing next to the vegetable garden, Canghai couldn't help but take a breath, I couldn't see it clearly when it was dark last night, this morning I looked at the guy like this, this small vegetable garden is full of vitality.
To say that this is a good thing, but it is a bit strange to be too vibrant, because the vegetable garden of the Canghai family is obviously much higher than the vegetable garden of other people's houses, such as the vegetable garden of Li Lida's house not far away, Grandma Li San is fertilizing and pulling grass, and now the vegetables in the garden are only half as tall as the vegetables in the Canghai garden.
"I'll go, it's a little too much water!" Canghai scratched his head.
The water Canghai said is not well water, but the water in the space, when ordering the seeds, Canghai diluted the seeds with the water in the space and soaked them overnight, but I didn't expect the dilution to be in place, now these seeds are rubbing long, and the small tomatoes of other families have not yet grown, these in the Canghai garden have begun to bloom, and they can bloom in these two days.
Grandma Li Qiu Shanghua didn't know when she came to Canghai's side, looked at Canghai's vegetable field, and then looked at her own vegetable garden, and opened her mouth to say: "This baby who has read books has the ability, and growing vegetables at home is better than that of our villagers!"
Hearing Grandma Li speak, Canghai came back to his senses.
"Maybe no one has planted this land for a long time, so the soil is better."
Canghai didn't know how to explain the current situation, so he could only use the power of the earth to say things.
Qiu Shanghua glanced at it and said, "Maybe, but you can eat anything of the cabbage in the field, and if you don't eat it, you will be an elder!"
"Let's eat, I'll go and talk to Second Grandpa Li later, and in the future, the vegetables in this field will be picked and eaten directly," Canghai said.
Qiu Shanghua reminded Canghai again: "Haiwazi, your chicken coop is also ready, and the chickens are almost grown, it's time to let them out and let them get familiar with the nest."
Only then did Canghai remember that his chickens had been placed at Grandma Li's house for her to take care of by the elderly, so he nodded: "I'll go after eating."
Looking at the tenderness of the leeks in his vegetable garden, Canghai thought about making a leek egg at noon today, and then thought that he still had to go to the countryside to buy meat, so he had to suppress this idea slightly.
After looking at the vegetable garden for a while, Canghai went to take a look at his chicken coop. Canghai's chicken coop was built by Wu Jun, and in the place where Canghai was going to plant some fruit trees at the bottom of the slope, a two-meter-and-five-meter-high brick hut was about six meters wide and more than four meters deep, like a small house.
There is also a sheepfold next to the chicken coop, the same small house, but the sheepfold is also surrounded by a fence, enclosing almost more than 100 square meters of activity space.
Seeing that his chicken coop and sheepfold were all covered, Canghai went to the second grandmother's house.
When I arrived at the second grandmother's house, I found that the old lady was feeding the chickens, and a large number of chicks were surrounding the second grandmother, and the old lady grabbed a handful of grains and cooed in her mouth.
"Haiwazi is here?"
Seeing Canghai coming, Second Grandma Li smiled and said hello.
"Well, second grandmother, I'll get my chickens back to the chicken coop," Canghai said.
At this time, the chicks have taken off their fluff and grown feathers, and the little rooster's head has also faintly seen a lost red crown, but some chicks look a little disgusting, and there is no hair on the half-pulled buttocks.
Hearing Canghai say that she wanted to drive the chickens back to her chicken coop, Qian Ximei didn't say much, put down the basket in her hand to feed the chickens, and helped Canghai drive the chickens together.
Canghai doesn't have this ability, if Canghai comes to catch up, then the quasi-chicken flying dog jumps, and he may not be able to drive the chickens into two sets a day, but Liu Aifen has this ability, and after a few turns, Canghai's chickens were driven out, and occasionally a few exposed nets were also caught by her from her own chickens.
At this time, Canghai found that his chickens were smeared with some red marks, but the chickens of the second grandmother did not have these.
"You're following me, you don't have the ability to do this chicken work!" Second Grandma Li motioned to Canghai to take a small stick against the wall, one end of the small stick was tied to a plastic sheet, and the second grandmother received it in her hand, left and right, and a group of chickens began to gather together.
"Go to the house and bring the small net I prepared! and bring the wooden Zhuangzi next to it, just a dozen or so," Liu Aifen said again.
When I arrived at the second grandmother's house, Canghai found a plastic net encircled on a stick in the corner of the wall, and there were more than 20 small sticks more than one meter high next to it, one end was flat and the other end was pointed.
Seeing that Canghai had taken something, Liu Aifen took a group of chickens and walked in the direction of Canghai's new kiln. The group of chicks then walked forward obediently in the direction of the stick in the second grandmother's hand.
While driving the chickens, Liu Aifen also told Canghai about the experience of feeding the chickens, when to release water, when to feed food or something, and nagged all the way.
"Take some grain, fence it around it with a gauze fence for two days, and wait for the chickens to get familiar with the nest before they can release it, and then they will know that they will return to the nest automatically."
Liu Aifen drove the chickens to the chicken coop and helped Canghai fence the chicken coop, so that the chicken coop had a twenty-square-meter space in a week, and the chickens could only look at the net and sigh even if they wanted to jump out here.
The chickens got it back, but Yang Canghai still had to be temporarily placed in the second grandmother's house, because he didn't have the ability to feed the sheep now, and there was no forage at home, and the surroundings were even bare, even if there were some small weeds, the sheep had to be put away, and now Canghai didn't have the time to put any sheep, and he had to continue to plant his own trees.
After tossing back and forth for an hour, Canghai drove the donkey cart to the township, and when he arrived in the township, he first went to see the tree seed farm of Wen Yi, only to find that half of the seedlings had been planted in the tree seed farm, and now the forty and fifty workers are busy diligently.
Wen Yiyi was not here today, and he heard that the worker said that he was going to the forestry professor in the provincial capital, so Canghai took a look around, and then drove the donkey cart to the town to buy meat. I bought half a fan of local pork, and bought a sheep, which was estimated to be enough for a week, and I returned to the village without staying.
The first thing when he returned to the village, Canghai took scissors to cut leeks in his own vegetable garden, Canghai vegetable garden did not apply farm fertilizer or spray, and there was no mud, the leeks were cut off with a fresh and tender energy, and they were washed twice in the kiln and could see that the water for washing leeks was a little green, which showed how tender the leeks in the garden were.
Li Liren happened to walk past the door of Canghai, and when he saw Canghai washing leeks, he asked, "Haiwazi, what are you doing?"
Canghai said: "I'm going to cook a few leek boxes to eat, and when the time comes, everyone will have a piece to try!"
"Leek box?"
Li Liren's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was worried that he didn't have any dry goods at night today, and when he heard Canghai mention the leek box, he immediately felt that it was a good idea.
"Haiwazi, don't get it, follow me to cut leeks, today I came to make this leek box, I was thinking about whether to continue to make meat and buns at night, who would have thought that you kid would be greedy for freshness!" Li Liren said with a smile.
Hearing Grandpa Li's words, Canghai immediately picked up the basin: "Then I'll save trouble here!"
put down the basin, picked up the basket and scissors, and Canghai and Li Liren came to the vegetable garden together.
"This little leek is really gratifying, or you kid, people who have drunk ink for a few more years are really different, and they are more energetic than us old men when they farm the land" Li Liren immediately praised as soon as he saw the little leeks in the Canghai vegetable garden.
Canghai didn't expect that the vegetables in his own garden grew better than others, and these people could all be attributed to reading. What Canghai didn't expect was that since he pumped the old well out of the water, everyone looked at Canghai and really regarded Canghai as the head of the family, and didn't think that Canghai was just a sea baby in his mouth.
Cut two handfuls of leeks and put them in the bamboo basket, Canghai turned around and saw that the basket was already half-done, and then looked at Li Liren, and found that with a wave of the sickle in someone's hand, a piece of leek was easily cut, and the efficiency was ten times that of himself. When it comes to brains, Canghai has an advantage, but when it comes to farm work, Canghai can't catch up with these villagers, even if these people are already rare.
