001 A Day at the Farm (Part I)
At 6:30 in the morning, a two-story building in the middle of Ilan Farm stood quietly in the mist, the alarm clock in the bedroom on the second floor rang on time, Ilan actually woke up a few minutes earlier, but still lay motionless on the bed, at this time the set rooster alarm rang, she habitually glanced at the sunflower clock face next to the bed, stretched out her hand and pressed it, the alarm stopped, the sunflower flower plate was closed, and it was instantly clean. Then she got up, dressed, washed, went downstairs, and walked to the restaurant on the first floor to say hello to the machine qì person. Breakfast is prepared by Ayo, a tube of cucumber-flavored multinutrients and three slices of cloud rabbit bacon. After a simple breakfast, Ilan took Ayu out to inspect the farm.
The day began.
The area of the farm is not large, according to the calculation of Yilan's previous life, it is about 2,000 acres. Ilan should be a time-traveling person, the memory of the previous life died in the twenty-first century of the earth AD calendar, life is quite dull, school, work, marriage and children, of course, life is always unsatisfactory, but finally there are no big twists and turns, just like this, a lifetime has passed, death is due to health reasons. She had no idea why she closed her eyes and opened them again to find herself in another world, completely unfamiliar.
At that time, she was extremely frightened, but fortunately it was an orphanage, with only one female director, orphans of twenty or thirty years, and the others were people to help manage and take care of the children. She became Tong Yilan, who was seventeen and a half years old at the time, and had already chosen agricultural planting as her career direction, and when she left the orphanage at the age of eighteen, the government would arrange for her to rent a piece of land.
She spent half a year in the orphanage, taciturn and unsociable. Tong Yilan's memory is still there, the short seventeen years are lackluster, and the left is just a deserted and regular life in the orphanage. There is nothing wrong, it seems that waking up early one morning has more memories of a lifetime on earth. The memory was too clear and vivid, vivid, so that she thought that she was a soul who forgot to drink Meng Po soup possessed Tong Yilan's body, and after two months of confusion, she felt that she was probably Tong Yilan, but she had a super long and real dream, and in the dream she had a lifetime of training in an alien domain called the earth.
was so entangled and hesitant, lonely and panicked for half a year. She often pondered and pondered her otherworldly experiences, but of course she would never dare to ask the dean for medical treatment, or even suspect that something was wrong with her brain. She is about to face the threshold of leaving the hospital to choose a career, and the pressure of survival is heavier, even if she is lonely and melancholy during that time, it is not too unusual, not to mention that the most accompanied by the nursery staff of the machine qì people, so she quietly started a new journey of life mixed with memories.
The Coalition Government approved her application for land lease and arranged for her the land, as she did not reserve a name for the land on the application form, and defaulted to her name as the name of the farm. The first year is free of rent, half of the rent is paid in the second year, and the normal payment is required in the third year, which is a benefit to the orphanage. The orphanage is on the second-level administrative star Aegean, and the land of Ilan is on the agricultural resource star Moss, from Aegean to Moss, you have to take a civil aviation ship, and the cost is also fully exempt from Elan, and Ilan also received a grant for orphans to leave the hospital, which can maintain the basic living expenses for the first year.
Now in her second year at Moss Star Farm, Ilan has grown accustomed to life here. She has a very regular schedule, walking slowly along the outskirts of the farm around 7 a.m. every day to exercise and track the growth of crops. After walking around, then go to your own vegetable garden to have a look, pick some vegetables by the way, return to your residence at noon to cook by yourself, and summarize the situation in the field and vegetable garden in the afternoon, and then go to the star network to learn agricultural knowledge, and by the way to understand the social knowledge of the outside world. In the evening, I heat up the extra meal that I cooked at noon, and the dinner is simply over, and then I go to bed. The next day the cycle continued, day after day.
Basically, Ilan doesn't have any social activities, and she doesn't need to. Her nearest neighbor was five kilometres away and couldn't be seen at all. Moss is an agricultural resource star, owned by the Coalition government, and not a private planet. The resource level is second-class, which is relatively medium, and the geographical and climatic differences are relatively gentle, which is suitable for the cultivation of vegetables and grains. The entire planet is mainly engaged in one industry: agricultural planting and breeding. Moss Central Area is the only administrative center on the planet, which has the functions of agricultural technical guidance, agricultural machinery upgrading and maintenance, agricultural product quarantine assessment, agricultural product trading, agricultural product entrusted processing, farm logistics management, etc., as well as planetary resource protection institutions and planet airports. Ilan only stayed in the central area for half a day when he first arrived at Moss Star and went through the registration matters. After the harvest in the first year, the grain is sold to the government through the guò star network, and the agricultural products trading office sends its own transport planes to handle it, and there is no need for Ilan to go out to do business.
All the land and ocean currents on the planet are divided into large and small farms and fishing farms, which are leased by the government to the applicant operators, and although every citizen of the Alliance who has reached the age of eighteen has the right to apply, but excluding the comprehensive consideration of expertise and interest, the government will give priority to the disadvantaged, and Ilan is undoubtedly one of the disadvantaged groups. Other government welfare policies have also greatly alleviated the embarrassment of Ilan's first arrival, and the two-storey building belongs to the infrastructure of the farm, which can be renovated and expanded at his own expense, but Ilan is enough to live in alone, and it is not necessary for the time being. Agricultural machinery is included in the lease fee, and only the cost of upgrading and maintenance is required, but this expenditure is not much. Seedlings and nutrients can be collected free of charge according to the size of the farm, and fees will be charged if the amount is exceeded. The machine qì is also standard on the farm, and it is also only charged for upgrades and maintenance. Therefore, although Ilan lived a trembling first year, the expenses were not much, there was no need to invest in the first year, and the living expenses were also subsidized by the government, and all the income was saved by Ilan for daily expenses and rent payment in the second year. This year is the second year, and only half of the rent fee is paid, which is still enough. What Ilan is worried about is that next year, according to the lease, Ilan will have to pay the rent in full, plus a year's living expenses, the pressure will be greater.
Ilan sighed lightly, staring at the endless weed, which looked like a combination of cabbage and cabbage on the earth, with white and crisp leaves, wrapped in clumps, and growing, all up to Ilan's waist. Woad is one of the ingredients of ordinary nutrients, the price is not expensive, but it is better because of the high demand, and the most important thing is that it is easy to grow, and there are no expensive requirements, which is very suitable for initial practitioners like Yilan.
Walking through the grass field, it is the apple area, the leaves are round, and they have brought out a little purple, and they are spread all over the ground along the vines. Yilan tinkered twice with Ayou, and a probe was inserted into the underground soil layer from Ayou's robotic arm, and the planting system prompted that the harvest would be harvested in ten days, and the apple digger was automatically booked. As long as the tuber in the ground, the skin is thin and easy to tear, and it is also an ingredient for ordinary nutrients, and the planting procedure is simple, the only trouble is that the land has to be changed every three years, but fortunately, Ilan can't worry about this at the moment.
These two kinds of vegetables are the only two main crops of Ilan Farm, and they were originally selected among the varieties recommended by the Agricultural Technical Guidance Department of the Central District, completely because she has no confidence in agriculture, and the easier it is to choose naturally, the better, these common varieties can be comprehensive for the general planting system, if you replace it with fine crops, you need to upgrade it at your own expense, and Ilan will definitely not choose it in the state of government relief.
After walking a circle, the sun was just right, Yilan glanced at Ah You enviously, the machine is so good, what is it like to go out in the morning, what is it like now, she herself is a little panting, but it is much better than when she first came, and her legs can tremble after a lap at that time. There is no way, the pressure of life is like a big knife hanging over her head, and she can't help but take it seriously. The crops in the fields are her current livelihood, and even if she no longer understands agriculture and can no longer adapt to her new life, she has to take care of them.
Agricultural cultivation is not Elland's strong point, in fact, from the beginning of independent survival, Ilan took stock of his skills and was depressed to find that he had no strength at all. The orphanage is in charge of the necessary basic education, but Ilan has a depressed temperament, often worries, likes to be alone, and doesn't even fall in love with the star network, living like a groundhog in a cave, with no hobbies, specialties, and skills, and really doesn't know much about the outside world. And in the memory of Yilan's previous life out of thin air, the earth is far inferior to today's alliance era in terms of technology, and Yilan is afraid to position himself in the class of Tulao hat. However, as time passed, even if her life on earth was as plain as water, recalling it a few more times also made her feel a little more open-minded and stoic in her poor and difficult life, and she was no longer as helpless as when she first came to Moss.
She often comforts herself that the wolf child can still integrate into the civilized society, and the Tibetan compatriots can still directly leap from the slave society to the socialist society. What's more, the patrilineal inheritance on the earth has been thousands of years, and Lugu Lake still retains the maternal line, and if it is used on her, in case she can't keep up with the rhythm of the high-tech alliance, it is always okay for her to survive quietly.
The memories of her previous life are still deep, living alone and living unaccompanied, and she turns out her memories and chews them carefully in her spare time. For her, as long as her body is fine, the troubles of her past and present lives will be reduced day by day. Her mentality is gradually correct, and the most important thing is that at the moment, she has to make herself able to eat and support herself.
She is a novice in agriculture, with no experience and no skills, and she has never planted land in her previous life, if it weren't for her grandmother's family in the countryside, she wouldn't even have a chance to distinguish between leeks and seedlings. And in this life, she only learned a little basic agricultural theory knowledge in an orphanage.
She learned from the experience of playing with family flowers in her previous life, and believes that practice brings true knowledge. I bought a pot of flowers in the nursery, and Du Niang said that she liked yin or yang, but she was still at a loss. On the balcony every day, it is left to fend for itself or thrown in the corner of the sofa in the living room, and every once in a while I think of it to give some water, and after a while I see that it is green and lush or wilted and yellow and falling, at that time I deeply understood what is called joy yin and what is joy of yang.
Things have been done to call experience, knowledge has been used to call skills, so to cheer yourself, we don't understand it doesn't matter, go, walk in the field every day, watch them start from seeds, sprout and spread leaves, and draw stems and bear fruit. After a while, not to mention anything else, planting weads and apples is considered to be similar, and the planting knowledge learned in the orphanage in my memory is not so illusory, and it can be regarded as linking theory to practice.
