Chapter 20: The Planting Storm
Tang Dou picked up the cast hoe, the wide hoe, not to mention that it can turn over the soil, even if it is held in the hand, it is unsightly, Tang Dou used bricks to build a small stove, the hoe was re-forged, and then sharpened it with a whetstone, and then waved his hand to try, not bad, the ability to dig is still there.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, he finally has his own tools, you must know that in the days without tools, Tang Dou doesn't know how he came over, not to mention the low efficiency of his work, the key is that it is also time-consuming and laborious, now it is different, he is going to turn over as a serf and sing.
Tang Dou used some straight trunks to give all the tools a wooden handle, such a tool in the hand is called a handy, Tang Dou polished all the iron tools again, not only through the metallic luster, but also more sharp.
Tang Dou was polishing his tools on the side, and the girls couldn't help, so they went to pick wild fruits in the woods.
Tang Dou used a sickle to clean up the weeds in the open space on both sides of the front of the house, ready to plant vegetables, the seeds in the treasure chest can only be planted once, there are no extra seeds, Tang Dou must plan carefully, these seeds are everyone's rations in the future, and there can be no carelessness.
After Tang Dou cleaned up the weeds, he turned over the land on both sides with a hoe, uprooted all the grass roots inside, which were all things that absorbed nutrients, and then divided the land into four pieces, each of which was planted with different vegetables.
Looking at the land that has been sucked up by weeds, Tang Dou is afraid that the seeds will not grow at all, and some fertilizer must be added, and there is not much pig manure, not enough, the only thing is to go to the forest to catch some fertilizer made of dead branches and leaves, which is also pure organic fertilizer, which can provide a lot of nutrients.
Just do it, Tang Dou used a basket to scoop up a few dead branches and fallen leaves, sprinkled on the land that had been turned, and put the pig manure that had been gathered for a long time and in it, turned these nutrients back into the land, and then planted the seeds, a piece of cabbage and green cabbage, a piece of pumpkin and watermelon, a piece of winter melon, a piece of pepper eggplant and cucumber, and the remaining two pieces were planted with millet, and the land was leveled with a hoe, and some water was picked up with a bucket and sprinkled on the land.
"Doudou, what are you busy with?" The girls came back from picking wild fruits, and saw that Tang Dou had already turned over the land in front of the stone house, and couldn't help asking.
"I got some vegetable seeds, I planted them!" Tang Dou replied as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Vegetable seeds, what kind of vegetable seeds are there?"
"Well, there are cabbage, greens, turnips, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkins, winter melons, and some millet on them!" replied Tang Dou, pointing to the vegetables that had been planted.
"Doudou, you won't plant all the vegetable seeds, right?" An Ran asked in surprise.
"Yes, these are our rations in the future, of course I will plant them all, if we take care of them, Robinson will not have as much as we do!" Tang Dou patted his chest and boasted.
"Doudou, you are a loser, a super invincible loser, our food has been ruined by you like this, you return my vegetables, you must return my vegetables!" Hearing Tang Dou's affirmative answer, An Ran was about to cry angrily, I have never seen Tang Dou such a loser, you must know that this is a desert island, and any vegetables and fruits are extremely precious.
"This ......" Tang Dou looked confused, where is this, the vegetables have not just been planted, and the germination has not yet begun, where can I find vegetables for her.
"Ranran, don't cry, what's wrong, you make it clear, didn't Doudou just plant vegetables, where did you ask him to give you whole vegetables?" Zhao Ying persuaded.
"I'd rather he hadn't planted it, so that we will have a better life in the future, Tang Doudou, a loser, I hate you to death!" An Ran said with a vicious stat at Tang Dou.
"Ranran, if you don't plant the seeds, where will you get the vegetables to eat, you have wronged Doudou!" Everyone knows that vegetables are grown after the seeds germinate, and Tang Dou is not wrong at all, I don't know why An Ran stared at Tang Dou.
It's been a few months, and everyone's idea of returning to the land is gone, and the only thought is to live a good life on this desert island, maybe one day to return to the land, but the premise is that everyone has a good life.
"If the time is not bad, it should be October now, that is to say, winter is coming, Doudou has planted all the vegetable seeds, and when the vegetable seeds germinate, the heavy snow should also come, and then our only vegetables will be destroyed by the heavy snow, and they will not grow at all, how can there be vegetables to eat!" An Ran said desperately, when she heard that there were vegetable seeds, the joy in her heart was incomprehensible, but now it is really sad more than happy.
"Ah, I didn't think of this, I just thought about planting vegetables quickly, and we can eat our own vegetables as soon as possible, but I really didn't think of this layer. Tang Dou listened to An Ran's explanation, and also sat on the ground, vegetables are divided into seasons, and general vegetables are not suitable for survival in winter, only cabbage and green vegetables can still survive in winter, and the rest of the vegetables are suitable for their growth in spring, summer and autumn.
"Ah, what then, why don't we turn over the soil, take out the seeds, and plant them after the winter?" Yang Mi looked at the crowd and made her suggestion, she didn't want the only seed to be wasted before she had time to taste it.
"No, the seed that has been watered, soon it will swell, and then it will sprout and grow, and it will not be able to be preserved at all, and even if it prevents it from germinating, it will damage its embryo, and if it is planted again, it will lose the meaning of the seed, and it will not grow vegetables at all. Tang Dou refused, and the seeds did not come out and be planted again next year.
"It seems that we can't eat vegetables anymore, let's eat meat every day, and raise us all big fat people!" said the more optimistic Lei Lei.
"It's not that we can't eat it, at least we can eat cabbage and greens, these two vegetables can also grow in winter, and millet is no problem, the bigger the snow in winter, the higher the chance that we will eat millet in the coming year!" Tang Dou looked at the four flat lands, his heart was about to break, this treasure chest was only obtained after he waited for four months, and it was also obtained in thousands of gift packages, and the next time he drew such a gift package, he didn't know that he would be able to obtain it after the year of the monkey and the horse month, how could it not make his heart ache.
"No, I must not let my hard work go to waste, I must let all the vegetables grow, and I will be able to eat my own vegetables next year!" Tang Dou stood up and looked at the four plots of land and thought.
"Is there any way to keep the vegetables from the blow of frost and snow, if you can stop the erosion of frost and snow, the vegetables will be able to grow normally, and maybe there will be unexpected harvests!" Tang Dou thought for a long time.
"Doudou, what do you want, we have called you for a long time, maybe we don't have that blessing, it is also a good choice to eat cabbage and greens, don't be too sad!" Looking at Tang Dou's stupid appearance, Zhao Ying persuaded and said, if Tang Dou is slumped because of this incident, it will be worth the loss.
"I think again, is there any way to stop the erosion of vegetables by frost and snow, if we stop the rain and snow during this period of winter, vegetables will not be able to grow normally!" Tang Dou looked at the girls and said his thoughts.
"Yes, that's a good idea, as long as we stop the erosion of rain and snow, we can ensure that the vegetables can grow. ”
"How can you stop it, do you think you are an immortal who can change the rain and snow, or who has the ability to fight against nature?"
"Against nature, we definitely can't do it, but things are always man-made, there are so many of us, we can always come up with a solution, in order for us to be able to eat vegetables, and I hope you can make suggestions!"
"There is no way, natural selection, each species has the most suitable living environment for it, we can't change it!" An Ran, who has always been a biological power, said in a word, which can sweep away everyone's enthusiasm.
