Chapter 35 Space Planting
The closer you get to the bottom of the mountain, the denser the flowers become, and Zhou Yu starts to clean up the weeds from the sparse flowers. More than three o'clock in the afternoon in the mountains is the hottest time of the day, Zhou Yu sweated profusely after working for more than an hour, he had not done farm work for more than ten years, and he felt that his back hurt and he was very uncomfortable, so Zhou Yu worked for a while and the speed was very slow.
At this time, he was resting on the hoe, and suddenly saw the third uncle Zhou Dingbang walking down the mountain, and shouted loudly from afar: "Second dog, are you tired?" If you are tired, take a good rest, your mother and your aunt are afraid that you will hurt your body and send me to see you. ”
Zhou Yu stretched his waist and said embarrassedly: "Third uncle, I'm nothing, it's just that I haven't done farm work for a long time and I'm a little unaccustomed, I'll be fine in two days, I will develop well in the village in the future, this can't work, don't you say?" ”
Zhou Dingbang smiled and said: "The second dog and the third uncle taught you a good way to work, haven't you heard of the phrase 'the lazy man is a good man'?" When I work, I am afraid to do it for a while and look at it a few times, in that case, the more I look at the work, the more I feel, but I don't need to look at it with my eyes, but I just bow my head and do it with my hands, and it will be less and less, so I will be full of motivation and do it faster and faster. ”
Zhou Yu nodded and stopped talking, bent down and continued to hoe the grass, when he was really tired, he looked up at the boundless sea of flowers under the mountain and around, and his mood would be infinitely relaxed and happy, and he would not feel tired.
As the sun sets, the birds on the horizon return to the mountains and forests one after another in the residual glow, and the boundless sea of flowers is bathed in the dusk remnant sun, like a dark golden ocean surging with the wind, revealing a kind of ancient and clumsy beauty.
Hearing his parents shouting to himself, Zhou Yu packed up his farm tools and came to the pond, and when he saw the surrounding situation, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, but in less than an afternoon, his parents, three uncles and three aunts had already cleared a large circle of weeds around the pond, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of weeds. Don't look at yourself as young and strong, but you really can't compare with these elders in terms of farm work.
Blowing the mountain breeze, stepping on the sea of flowers, and wearing the sunset, several people rushed to the village with flowers and farm tools, laughing, and the sunset shone obliquely on the body to draw a long shadow......
At night, Zhou Yu grabbed some seeds bought during the day and put them in the space, and in the dead of night, he took a grab and entered the space.
The space is still lonely, only a few cabbages are still growing tenaciously, Zhou Yu feels that each of these cabbages can weigh at least a dozen catties, and if they are put outside, they will definitely belong to the level of the king of cabbage.
The pool is not alarmed, and there is not a trace of wrinkles to be seen, and the crystal clear water is like a large mirror that is smooth and smooth. The small dirt pit above the pool is still green, and the thick liquid gives people a sense of life.
The gray-black gas around is still tumbling, and the world behind the gas makes Zhou Yu reverie infinitely, hoping that one day he can go behind here to see what is going on.
Zhou Yu planted tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, eggplants and other vegetable seeds into the ground one by one. Then he used about half of the open space to plant watermelons and melons, and after the end, Zhou Yu probably felt that these were not rich enough, so he went out and took some sweet potato plants and planted them in the space.
It was late at night after this busy pass, but at this time, Zhou Yu in the space did not feel a trace of sleepiness, and felt more energetic after drinking some space water.
So far, the space has been planted with fruits, vegetables, and some crops, except for the two large and small puddles. At first, Zhou Yu was thinking about whether he needed to water it, but when he thought that those Chinese cabbages were just seeds that were inadvertently sprinkled on the ground, they would grow so strong, and it would be a bit too much if they were watered.
In the next two days, with the help of Zhou Dingbang and his wife, the two families finally cleaned up the weeds and a small part of the bushes on the southern slope of the Pheasant Ridge, and then Zhou Dingguo found Uncle Da Kui to pull the plow with an old ox to plow the cleaned wasteland over and over again several times, so that the Pheasant Ridge was finally sorted out.
That night, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Hu to buy some fresh beef, mutton and pork from the town, and Wang Guilan slaughtered a big rooster to make some meat dishes.
Because he was very busy in the past two days, Zhou Yu almost fell asleep after dinner every day, so he didn't have time to take a look in the space. Now that the contracted mountain land has been cleared, it is almost time to sow seeds and plant, so this mood is also relaxed, so Zhou Yu entered the space with excitement in the evening.
As soon as he entered the space, a strong fresh plant smell filled his nose, and what greeted him was the reckless endless green, and Zhou Yu felt as if he had entered a botanical garden.
The empty and lonely space was now filled with large patches of greenery, and on closer inspection, there were clusters of deep purple and pink in the green leaves.
The emerald green beans and, cucumbers and pink tomatoes do not have a shelf, the seedlings grow directly on the ground, but the seedlings are full of fruits, the beans are almost twenty centimeters long, the cucumbers are bright green and crisp, and there are small yellow and tender flowers in front, which are also straight and long, not to mention the tomatoes, the red and tender pink are so tender and pink, people can't help but want to take a bite when they see it, and the size is even bigger, each of them has a medium
It's the size of a rice bowl.
The watermelon and muskmelon are also almost ripe, and it is estimated that they will be able to eat it in another day at the latest, and the dark green melon vines are definitely thicker than those watered with space liquid.
Although Zhou Yu had eaten enough at night, he was also hungry when he saw these melons and fruits, because there was no wind and rain in the space, the surface of these melons and fruits was a clean mess. Picked a cucumber and a tomato, and pulled a purple eggplant, Zhou Yu simply sat on the edge of the pool and started eating.
Zhou Yu is stupid, Zhou Yu is drunk, the taste of these melons and fruits is simply not the same as the outside, the taste is called a fresh and an authentic!
The cucumber is crisp and sweet, and the cheeks are fragrant after taking a bite; Tomatoes are sweet and sour, sweet but not greasy, sour but not tired, especially the thick juice that stays in the mouth for less than a second after drinking it in the mouth and is forced to swallow it into the stomach, which is very delicious. Even the eggplant used for cooking is very refreshing, and the eggplant meat seems to be mixed with a lot of water, sweet and tender, enough to be eaten as a fruit.
Rubbing his bulging belly, Zhou Yu stood up and looked at the buds around him, there were almost two thick buds on the straw of the buds, and he felt that there was still some space in his stomach......
Zhou Yu groaned comfortably, opened his big mouth and dried up with the earbud rice, and it didn't take two minutes for the originally full and juicy large earbud rice to be gnawed clean.
After the bud rice was gnawed, Zhou Yu remembered the sweet potato again, the sweet potato seedlings climbed more than a meter long, because there was no guy around, Zhou Yu simply pulled out a melon seedling with his hands, the size of the sweet potato is not too exaggerated, the purple-red skin is just about a circle larger than usual, but the sweet potato under this melon seedling is too much, right? Zhou Yu has already picked a small pile at this time, which is four or five catties.
Zhou Yu doesn't mind too much about the size and yield of sweet potatoes, the most important thing is the taste! Picking up a purple-red sweet potato that is larger than a fist, Zhou Yu didn't wash it, he directly wiped it with his hand and sent it to his mouth to take a bite, there was not much water, crisp and sweet, so sweet that people's hearts were warm and crispy, as if he was embraced by his mother, and he was happy to the bottom of his heart.
Wiping the corners of his mouth, Zhou Yu patted his belly with satisfaction, after his own personal experience, the taste of melons, fruits and vegetables grown in this space is simply against the sky, if it is sold in a big city, no matter how much money it is, it is estimated that those people in the city are willing to pay.
With the hope of infinite beauty, Zhou Yu walked out of the space and entered a sweet dreamland.
