The next morning, I had breakfast.

Each department has its own task and is ready to go.

Yesterday, Kexin and I have picked up half a boat, and we have picked up enough to eat for a day or two, so we don't have to be busy picking them up again to ensure freshness.

Wei Huiyun, the kitchen manager, so there is no organization to go to sea - it is like this, Hengsha Island is connected to the sea, will rise and fall every day, we live in this position, because the riverbed is high, it is slightly higher than the sea level, so there is no obvious rise and fall tide, although it is still an estuary, of course, there is seafood, but you need to enter the water to touch, it is more troublesome to touch, and it is generally rowed downstream to pick up it to save more effort.

However, this large river that traverses the two islands of Hengsha and Changxing is very good for fishing.

So Wei Huiyun picked up a few fishing rods, got together with Fei Fei, and went to the river to fish.

I told them to be safe.

It's safe to be around the river!

"Fei Fei, do you know how to swim?" I asked the little girl cautiously.

Fei Fei shook her head: "Not how to ......"

I said, "Then you have to be careful, don't fall into the river, I'll teach you to swim when I have time in the future!"

When Fei Fei heard this, she stroked her palms and laughed: "Okay, okay! I'm going to practice swimming, and I'm doing great! Just like you." ”

I smiled and said, "Now, don't go to sea yet, okay?" You accompany your sister Lu Lin and sister Wu Yun at home, and when you go back to teach you to swim, it is not too late for you to take a dinghy to accompany your sister Huiyun to the sea. ”

Fei Fei was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it sideways, she still agreed.

That kind of small lifeboat, paddling in this river with waves at any time, is dangerous.

It's okay to be able to swim, and you can swim back after falling into the water.

If you can't swim, that's hard.

I can't watch from the side, anyway, I'm not worried about this little girl.

If you accidentally make a mistake, you will regret the death.

I explained to Wei Huiyun again: "When you go to sea in the future, don't take Fei Fei with you first." You and Kexin, if you need to find ingredients then, I'll call Xia Xia to help you. You can both swim, and the boat ride is reassuring. ”

Wei Huiyun nodded in response.

Over there, Li Zhi had already packed up the tools for clearing the wasteland.

Three sapper shovels, a large shovel that I had made, a large hoe that I had also made, an axe, and two woodcutters with long handles and sharpened sharpenings.

Eight tools, basically one for each person.

Tian Xiaxia was left behind, and selected some full-grained millet at home, used as cereals, and waited for Sun Liqing to come back at noon, and then instructed to soak the seeds.

Kexin will also go with us today, she is going to the reed field to hunt a wave of hares.

For we expected that there must be a lot of hares hidden in the field, and that we would be scurrying around when we were clearing the fields.

Just caught back and served.

With a gun for self-defense, the wolfhound left two at home and took two to hunt.

Eight people, two dogs, rowed two small boats, and carried tools, from the fork of the river into the center of the island.

A distance of about one kilometer, it takes more than twenty minutes to arrive.

First of all, he was not in a hurry to climb the reed field, but led the people around the waterway and made a circle.

Then he went back to his place and stopped the boat.

I asked Li Zhi, "How about this piece of land, which is isolated by water on all sides, is it spacious enough?"

Li Zhi nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good! It must be three or five acres large, and the seedlings are enough." ”

I held the sapper shovel, shoveled a shovel of mud, and asked Sun Liqing: "Sister Sun, how is this soil, is it suitable for growing grain?"

Sun Liqing picked up a piece of soil, looked at it carefully, sniffed it with her nose, and finally licked it with her tongue!

Then he took the sapper shovel in my hand, and turned up a thick layer of soil on the ground himself, turning it to a depth of more than 20 centimeters, and looked at the soil quality underneath.

After studying it carefully, he said: "It's not in the way, the soil is still very good, and it can grow rice." It is surrounded by waterways, and the humidity of the soil is enough. Of course, we have no way to divert canals, we can't make paddy fields, we can only grow upland rice, but the yield can definitely be higher than that of upland rice sown in the mountains. ”

I smiled and said, "With your words, then we can rest assured." Otherwise, we are afraid that we will work in vain, and our strength will come out, and the seeds will be damaged, and in the end we will not be able to grow seedlings, which is very depressing. ”

Li Zhidao: "Then don't talk about it, let's start working, and get rid of these reeds together!"

Sun Liqing said: "I suggest that all the weeds in this whole land be removed, so as to prevent rabbit disasters and rodents to the greatest extent." First of all, drive them all out. In the future, even if there are still diving over, it will be very rare. If you often bring the hunting dogs in to make trouble, you basically don't have to worry. ”

I chimed in, "Yes." Be sure to listen to the experts!"

Then the organization assigns work.

I'll leave all this matter to Sun Liqing to arrange.

"Xiaoyu, you are young and strong, and there are some miscellaneous trees in the ground, so I will hand it over to you and cut it with an axe. ”

"There are only two long-handled knives, which are the best for removing reeds. However, this knife is not very safe to use, and it requires some skill when using it. If I use one, who of you else will use this kind of knife? Da Li (Li Zhi) should be able to use it, and then the other one will be used for you. You must be careful when using this kind of knife and watch the distance, otherwise it will be easy to leave it on others!"

"The blade of the sapper shovel can also be used to chop reed poles, Xiao Su Xiao Shen, you can distribute it. ”

"The remaining big shovels and hoes can also be used to dig up large pieces of reed roots, and we try to make the land as good as possible so that the rice seedlings can grow. ”

"Well, I don't know much about it, so that's probably it. I came from a farming family, and I have been farming for half my life, and I don't know anything else, but I still have some experience in farming. If you don't know how to use the tool, you can tell me and I'll explain it. ”

After giving Sun Liqing a command, I also added: "Xin'er, don't hurry up with the rabbits, there are still tools, you accompany everyone to do a while of work first." ”

But when he heard this, he drove away the two little wolf dogs under his feet: "Let's go, let's play by myself first, and when my mother has done her job, I will take you to dig the rabbit hole!"

As a result, a hot reclamation work began in this way.

I cut down the miscellaneous trees, and the axe was no longer needed, so I asked for the tools in Kexin's hand, dug up the roots of the grass with a hoe, and sent her to catch the rabbits instead.

As a result, this person and two dogs made a fuss, and the audience was full of rabbits scurrying.

In the morning, seven or eight big fat rabbits were caught.

There are also rats that have been bitten to death and bitten away are not counted.

It's brutal!

……

It took two days to cut down all four or five acres of land with weeds.

The next step is to expose the grass to the sun for a few days, let the sun dry the grass, and then burn it off with a fire, and the grass ash is used to fertilize the soil.

After cleaning up, look at the situation and loosen the soil.

And only then sow the seeds!

In the free time of the few days when we were drying grass, we could also go into the mountains to cut wood and prepare materials for us to build a house.

It's about making the most of your time. How quick and easy to suggest our new home!
