Chapter 62: Farming

Mu Shui carried the plow in front, and Mu Xiu pushed it in the back, while taking the opportunity to sprinkle the compound fertilizer into the ground again, just like that, ploughing back and forth for several hours, Mu Shui and Mu Xiu were tired and panting, but finally finished plowing.

"Xiu, let's plow the side again in the afternoon, and then we can sow seeds, let's go and irrigate the half acre of land first." Mu Shui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that after ploughing this land, it seemed to be darker.

Actually, this is not the illusion of Mushui, but the color of the humus used by Muxiu, which turns the color of the entire field dark.

Mu Xiu nodded, took the farm tools, glanced at the land that had just been cultivated, and showed a satisfied smile on his face, this is like the land that grows good crops!

Next, Mu Xiu concocted the same method, but this land is too barren, even if fertilizer is used, it will not change much for a while.

Mu Xiu looked at it, and could only wait until the time of sowing, sprinkle all the top layer with nutrient soil, plant it in the nutrient soil, wait until the back to chase fertilizer a few more times, and then spray enzymes, so that after this year, next year this land will become fertile soil.

Zhou Shuilian carried the little flower who woke up on her back, came to the field to see them, and saw that the father and daughter were in full swing, so she went back to cook.

At noon, Zhou Shuilian saw that the two of them were too hard, so she also learned from Mu Xiu to make cakes with some white flour and wheat bran, but the taste she made was ...... There is a difference of 108,000 miles with Mu Xiu, and Mu Xiu doesn't want to eat after a few bites, thanks to Mu Shui's non-picking, this is not wasted......

Mu Shui and Mu Xiu hurriedly finished eating, and rushed back to the field to continue working, but at the time of eating, Mu Xiu replaced all the seeds that Mu Shui borrowed from Chen Xiangyang with high-yield wheat seeds in the space.

Variety is the determining factor that determines the yield and quality of wheat, and good seedlings produce good seedlings and bear good fruits, which are determined by biological laws.

The wheat varieties in Muxiu space are of good quality, high yield per plant, and have certain characteristics of stress resistance, disease resistance and lodging resistance.

After Mushui finished eating, he put a bucket of water and put the wheat seeds in it, which is the preparation before sowing, and in this way, the empty shells and bad wheat seeds floating on the water surface are removed, and the excellent seeds with full grains are carefully selected.

As a result, the wheat seeds were soaked in the water, all of them sank to the bottom of the water, Mu Shui grabbed the seeds, his heart was full of emotion, he secretly thought: "The village party secretary is really a good person, even the seeds lent to me are carefully selected, with such good seeds, no matter how diligent I am, the harvest in the coming year should not be bad." ”

Mu Xiu saw that Mu Shui was selecting seeds, and the selected seeds were put on the ground wet, and she suddenly thought that there were good things in her space, which were granular microbial agents researched in the laboratory, and this biological bacteria were mixed evenly with wheat seeds and sown. It can promote the development of wheat roots and promote branching.

So Mu Xiu was silent, pretending to sort out these wheat seeds, but secretly sprinkled these biological agents.

After doing all this, the two of them went to work in the field again, and after plowing the rented land again, and then began to sow separately, it is easier to plant wheat than rice, and rice also needs to be raised and transplanted.

The father and daughter spent two days to clean up this acre of land properly, and after all this was done, on weekdays, they went to pull weeds, fertilize and water.

But for Mu Shui, this little crop is his life, and he spends most of his day in the field.

The days were idle all of a sudden, which made Zhou Shuilian, who had endless work all year round, also a little unaccustomed.

In the past, during her slack time, she had to feed pigs and chickens, cook and laundry, and she had to do all the family's affairs, and she kept spinning like a spinning top every day.

Now every day, except for bringing Xiaohua, cleaning up the room and washing a few clothes of these people, there is nothing to do, and the cooking is also Mu Xiu's bag...... There is no one to beat and scold, there is no need to look at people's faces, such days are really good.

However, Zhou Shuilian knows that although life seems to be very good now, the most important problem for the family is to face, that is, lack of food, money, and things.

After Mu Xiu finished sowing, she began to dig bamboo shoots, and Mu Shui also helped her dig them, and the two of them dug a lot of bamboo shoots, which were piled up all over the yard, and Mu Xiu was going to start making dried bamboo shoots and sour bamboo shoots.

Mu Xiu first washed the bamboo shoots and cut them into two slices, after cooking, dried them in the sun, and then put them in a pot and then boiled them.

After the bamboo shoots are thoroughly boiled in salted water, they are dried in the sun again, and after the water carried by the bamboo shoots is dry, they are stored in a ventilated place, and they can be taken out and eaten when the soup is cooked.

After the dried bamboo shoots were done, Mu Xiu began to make sour bamboo shoots.

Mu Xiu originally planned to fill the space with the soy sauce he made, and poured out a jar to make pickled bamboo shoots, but he didn't expect to clean the room, but he accidentally found a few dirty small jars in the firewood room, which made Mu Xiu overjoyed, so that he didn't have to waste a jar of good soy sauce......

Unconsciously, Mu Xiu also began to feel distressed, before this was put in, wasn't it just a jar of fermented soy sauce, and it was poured out.......

Zhou Shuilian washed these small jars cleanly, and according to Mu Xiu's command, after washing them, she boiled boiling water, scalded all the inside and out, and put them under the sun to dry them thoroughly, keeping them in a waterless state.

After doing these, the mother and daughter peeled the bamboo shoots together, making sour bamboo shoots is different from making dried bamboo shoots, the dried bamboo shoots only need to be peeled a little bit, and the bamboo shoots used to make sour bamboo shoots should be peeled off quickly half, and they should be peeled until they feel softer.

Wait until the bamboo shoots are dried, and then put the bamboo shoots into the jar, pour in the cool boiled water, the water should completely submerge the bamboo shoots, about 5 to 10 cm higher than the bamboo shoots, then seal the jar, put it in a cool, dry and ventilated place, after a week, you can eat the naturally fermented sour bamboo shoots.

Sour bamboo shoots are delicious no matter what they go with, and they are very good for stir-frying, boiling, and cooling.

These days, Mu Shui especially likes to eat this sour bamboo shoot, and he has to eat a small plate every day.

On this day, Mu Shui had just returned from the field, and Mu Xiu was planning to discuss with Mu Shui to tidy up the front and back yards and plant some crops such as taro, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which could also be used as rations.
