Chapter 13 Ginseng seeds into the soil
After sending away the six puppies, Li Mu put the thin bamboo potted plants on the window railing outside the hut, and went into the house to tease the cute ones who were sleeping lazy, until they provoked them to stretch out their paws and scream, and then proudly took the ginseng seeds up the mountain.
In the small patch of land next to the orchard on the mountain, there were already three green plants emerging from the ground, and Li Mu dug some small pits in this field, and then planted the seeds of Changbai Mountain ginseng and red ginseng into the ground.
There were not many ginseng seeds, Li Mu counted them, there were about twenty of each of the two types, he counted fifteen seeds each, and put the rest in his trouser pocket.
After burying the seeds, Li Mu took out a bamboo basket of black mud from the waterhole behind the bamboo forest and sprinkled it evenly on the buried pit. At this time, it was noon, and the autumn sun did not bring much heat to the earth, but ginseng likes shade after all, Li Mu plans to build a pergola here, at least to block the sunlight, but not all of it, otherwise even if there is black mud at the bottom of the pool, I am afraid that I will not be able to grow live ginseng.
"Why don't you build a simpler greenhouse?"
Li Mu took the bamboo basket down the mountain, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done, anyway, with the black mud at the bottom of the pond containing great vitality, as long as the sunlight was controlled a little, those ginseng should be able to grow.
When he came to the hut at the foot of the mountain, Li Mu was just about to enter the house when he found the pot of thin bamboo potted plants on the window railing outside the house.
Li Mu looked at the remaining bit of black mud in the bamboo basket in his hand, and poured it all into the potted plant in the spirit of not wasting it.
"Such a little black mud shouldn't be able to hold this potted plant, right?"
Li Mu forgot about it in a blink of an eye, there were a lot of messy things in the storage room next to the hut, and the contractor of this mountain had left a lot of good things in it, including some plastic film. It's just that these films are broken in the east and one less in the west, and when you open it again, it looks like a rag.
Li Mu observed the gaps on the membrane, there were obvious traces of beast destruction, and suddenly remembered that it had done a good job when he had locked Meng Meng here before, and his face suddenly turned black.
The film is not very large, Li Mu roughly calculated, it can cover the land, but Li Mu is not to build a greenhouse, there is no need to wrap the whole land, if the film is folded, it can not only cover the sun, but also will not block the mountain wind to cause the mud to heat up.
"Woohoo."
"Wangwang."
There was a childish dog barking outside the storage room, Li Mu rolled up the film and walked out, and was surprised to see Meng Meng is slapping the stray dogs one by one, while the steamed bun was lying on the side and watching calmly, as if observing the skills of the five stray dogs.
"Squeak."
The red panda Meng Meng slapped the five puppies aside and screamed proudly, but when it met the eyes of the steamed bun, it immediately withered, and the whole round dun dun's body immediately sat on the ground like a fat spread, and the steamed bun saw a very humane white eye.
"Mantou, then." Li Mu wanted to test the cleverness of the steamed bun, so he threw the rolled plastic film in his hand at it and said, "Don't break it." ”
"Woo."
With a quick leap of steamed bread, he gently bit the membrane, lowered his head and ran to Li Mu's side with a whiner.
The other five puppies were still unfamiliar with Li Mu at this time, and when they saw him coming, they immediately ran away.
Li Mu was not annoyed, and took a handsaw with a short arm length from the storage room and some nails and thin wires and took it up the steamed bun mountain.
Along the way, Li Mu looked back at the steamed bun from time to time, and found that it had been gently biting the plastic film, without the slightest sign of biting, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.
The steamed bun has become so smart, obviously it is the credit of the purple scale shrimp head, if he let Meng Meng and the five stray dogs eat some, then wouldn't he have six more good helpers who would not betray?
It's just a pity that the purple scale shrimp has been eaten, and I don't know if there will be new purple scale shrimp in the waterhole.
When a man and a dog came to the ginseng field, Li Mu instructed the steamed buns to put down and watch the plastic film, so as not to be blown away by the wind. And Li Mu himself took a handsaw and came to the bamboo forest above.
At this time, the strength of Li Mu's arms was amazing, although there was still some distance from pulling out the weeping willow upside down, it was no longer a problem to pull out a pillar.
Li Mu picked a bamboo with the thickness of a baby's wrist, easily pulled it out and put it on the ground, and then sawed off the hardest part of the bamboo with a hand saw, which was about three meters long. Then Li Mu stepped on the three-meter-long bamboo, and then slowly sawed it vertically from the middle, sawing out a total of four three-meter-long bamboo pieces the size of a little finger.
With these four slender bamboo slices, Li Mu returned to the ginseng field, and saw the steamed bun lying on the plastic film and wagging its tail obediently, and couldn't help but gently touch its head.
Li Mu spread out the film and folded it, and then used thin wire and nails to tie the four corners of the film together with four bamboo pieces. After the folded film has been able to completely cover the sun, Li Mu was relieved to insert four bamboo pieces into the ground one by one for half a meter, and a simple greenhouse only took Li Mu an hour to build.
Looking at the shadow under the greenhouse that covered all the ginseng seed pits, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the steamed bun didn't understand on the side, he also stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail happily, and then looked at Li Mu with admiration.
After setting up the greenhouse, Li Mu went to look at the peach trees in the orchard that were covered with black mud.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, the stamens are full, and the fragrance of peach blossoms in the mountain breeze seems to be absent, which attracts people's souls, and these five peach trees are all lifeless dead trees, and under the visual impact, the two form a sharp contrast.
"It's amazing to see if this situation will come to fruition soon."
Li Mu was amazed, and the expectations for the black mud in his heart were even greater, and at the same time, he began to suffer from gains and losses, and the black mud at the bottom of the waterhole was not very much, if it was not replenished, I am afraid that after this autumn, the winter has not passed, and the black mud will be used up.
The black mud under the five peach trees had dried and volatilized under the Yangguan, and Li Mu was distressed and took some black mud from the waterhole to irrigate.
The steamed bun ran up and down happily with Li Mu like a child, until a few miserable immature dog barks faintly came from the foot of the mountain, and the steamed bun rushed down the mountain quickly.
"Is anyone coming?" Li Mu listened to the screams under the mountain, but the scene of the red panda Mengmeng slapping them away with one paw and one paw flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid that Mengmeng was bullied by the steamed buns, so the little brother who took the steamed buns was angry, right?" These bastards! ”
Li Mu packed up the handsaw and some remaining thin wires and nails, slowly went down the mountain, and came to the outside of the hut, and sure enough, he saw the steamed bun with two paws pressed on the cute and fat ******, and the cute man lying there on all fours had an embarrassed face, his eyes were full of pity and grief.
On the side, the five dirty skinny puppies hid next to them in fear and didn't dare to approach, as if they had just been scared by Meng Meng.
"Steamed buns."
Li Mu chuckled and shouted.
The steamed bun looked back at Li Mu's eyes, and immediately understood what he meant, and as soon as his paws were loosened, he obediently ran to Li Mu's side, rubbing his trouser legs while wagging his tail happily.
"Squeak."
Mengmeng stood up unrelentingly like a defeated warrior, then licked her two paws, ignored Li Mu, and went up the mountain to graze by herself.
After these days of getting along, Meng Meng has completely integrated into this mountain, when she is hungry, she goes to the waterhole to graze, when she is thirsty, she drinks the water in the waterhole, and when she is not feeling well, she looks for steamed buns to fight, and the small life is also delicious.
