160 crops are the hardest
Because I can't be idle all the time, the backyard is still the same mess, and there are weeds everywhere. A large five-foot-long cage was quietly placed in a corner of the courtyard. Next to the cage, there is also quite a bit of hay. There are many types of hay, including the most common roadside weeds, and alfalfa grass specially planted by Sheng Qingqing.
At this time, two snow-white rabbits were nesting quietly in the cage, looking like two hairy balls from a distance, looking fluffy.
Spring is the beginning of spring, which is the right time for domestic animals to mate, and livestock like rabbits, which produce more than one month a month, will naturally not let go of this good time. Take advantage of this time to raise them well, and in a month or two, there should be a litter of rabbits at home!
Sheng Qingqing walked over slowly, not intending to disturb the exchange of feelings between the two rabbits, a male and a female.
The reason why she came here was just to see if the rabbit was doing these days. After all, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming have been feeding them for the past few days, and the two children are not very old, so I don't know if there will be any mistakes or omissions.
However, after seeing the hay next to the cage and the round size of the two rabbits at close range, Sheng Qingqing was relieved.
The amount of forage next to the cage is quite large. A handful of stacked piles, Sheng Qingqing estimated that it was enough for two rabbits to eat for several days. There is also a wide variety of forage, in addition to alfalfa grass grown in the backyard, there are also some forages that have never been seen in the backyard. It should have been found by Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming in other places in the village.
Although Sheng Qingqing doesn't know if the different types of these forages will taste different, they eat different things every day, and the two rabbits have a good life.
You must know that Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother are not extravagant enough to change dishes every day.
Seeing that the rabbit was doing well, Sheng Qingqing relieved herself. She turned her attention to the rest of her backyard.
The whole backyard is about half an acre in size, except for a few small corners, the largest area is almost a barren land. Although Sheng Qingqing planted a large patch of alfalfa grass on it to make the land not look too barren, in the final analysis, alfalfa grass is only one type of weed, so the land in the backyard is still deserted.
Sheng Qingqing touched her chin, planning to use the land in the backyard in her heart.
The Sheng family has a total of three pieces of land, the largest one is almost two acres, and now Kong Gaoming has been asked to plant grain, and the other one is at the foot of the mountain, almost one acre large. But the foot of the mountain is too far away from the Sheng family, and it is an inferior field, even if you want to grow things, you can't produce a good yield.
Finally, there's the backyard. I have to say that this land can be said to be the best of the three. Although it is only half an acre large, Sheng Qingqing poured some spring water into the ground in order to plant a few peppers, so the plants on this land grew slowly. The half-dead alfalfa grass is now lush and almost as tall as a human calf. It can be seen that the fertility of the ground is still very heavy.
In addition to this, the location of the land is also very good.
Whether it is at the foot of the mountain or the two-acre land, it is too far away from the Sheng family, and it is too conspicuous. The plants that Sheng Qingqing wants to plant, for the sake of yield, must be watered with spring water. When the time comes, the crops in their fields will grow upwards and grow twice as fast as those in other people's fields, so that even a fool can find out that something is wrong.
Sheng Qingqing didn't want to be targeted.
So, the backyard is a really nice piece of land. In the backyard, half an acre of land is completely covered by houses, and even if other people enter their yard, as long as they don't come to the backyard, they can't see the land at all.
Sheng Qingqing rubbed her chin and felt that the plan for farming should be put up in the regulations.
However, she doesn't know how to farm, at most she only understands the general content, and when planting plots, it is obvious that outsiders cannot be involved.
So, you still need to learn something.
Thinking like this, Sheng Qingqing planned to visit Kong Gaoming.
She has hired people, and she adheres to the principle of making the best use of things......
While thinking, Sheng Qingqing walked out.
However, she had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, and before she could step out of the gate of the courtyard, she saw the person she wanted to see, striding towards this side.
"Girl!"
Sheng Qingqing blinked her eyes and greeted, "Hello Uncle Kong, I was looking for you!" ”
Kong Gaoming walked to the door of the Sheng family in a few steps, "Hey, that's a coincidence, I have something to find you." ”
Sheng Qingqing retracted her steps and let Kong Gaoming into the courtyard.
"Uncle Kong came in and said."
Today's weather is good, the sun is high, but the warm sun of spring is not hot, only the sun is a little lazy.
Sheng Qingqing simply went into the house and moved two stools, so that Kong Gaoming could sit in the courtyard.
She was still thinking about whether to go to the kitchen and pour some hot water - she would not buy such a precious thing as tea in a short time, and only hot water could be used to entertain guests.
Kong Gaoming saw that she was going to be busy, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Qing, don't be busy, be polite to me." I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave after speaking, there's still work in the field! ”
When the farm is busy, he really can't stop for a moment, and he came here today, which is a rare time to spare.
As soon as Sheng Qingqing heard this, she immediately stopped her movements and said curiously: "Uncle Kong, why did you come to me?" ”
Kong Gaoming has a straightforward temperament but is not pedantic. After he took over the work of farming, he has been diligent and discreet. He also knew that Sheng Qingqing didn't know much about farming, so most of the things in the field would not come to ask Sheng Qingqing, and only came back when he encountered some major events and it was difficult to make a decision alone.
So as soon as Sheng Qingqing heard him say that it was a matter in the field just now, she immediately stopped being polite, she knew that there was no big matter, and Kong Gaoming would not come to her to discuss things.
"That's the ......" Kong Gaoming didn't seem to know what to say, scratched his head, organized his language, and then said slowly: "The ground has been turned over, and the good seeds have been planted, and there will be no major events in the field next." ”
Sheng Qingqing sounded a little dazed.
It's not a big deal, shouldn't that be good news? If there's something, it's trouble......
"So...... Uncle Kong ......, "What do you want to say?"
Kong Gaoming scratched his head again, and finally said the purpose of this trip, "I thought, the acre of land at the foot of your mountain is still empty, what are you planning to plant?" ”
Sheng Qingqing understood in an instant.
What she asked Kong Gaoming to plant was only those two acres of land, after all, she just wanted to save some food for herself, a family of three, two acres of grain was enough to eat for a year or two.
And there is a reason why the acre of land at the foot of the mountain has been placed......
Previously, I planned to plant some fruits and vegetables, but then Sheng Qingqing gave up this idea.
One is because the distance is too far, and it used to be half an hour smaller at a time. The second is that there is space, to be honest, she is not short of fruits and vegetables, and there are not many kinds of fruits and vegetables that can be planted this year, and the yield is not high.
So Sheng Qingqing simply gave up the land at the foot of the mountain and let it be deserted. It's really because she is worried that if she grows something, the harvest will not be good in the end, and she will not be able to make ends meet.
Losing money is not a good deal.
Kong Gaoming obviously didn't think about it so much, his thinking was very direct, as a farmer, he couldn't see the land being wasted.
"I thought, it's too wasteful to put a good piece of land like this, it's better to plant a little fruit and vegetables."
Sheng Qingqing was helpless, she couldn't say that she had space, and she couldn't say that she couldn't look down on the fruits and vegetables of this era, so she didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Somewhat embarrassing......
"Girl?" Kong Gao looked at her with a blank eye.
"Eh, Uncle Kong!" Sheng Qingqing's mind turned quickly, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "I still have half an acre of land in my backyard, and I want to grow something by myself." It's a pity that I don't know how to do the work in the field, can you teach me? ”
Kong Gaoming scratched his head, he had never thought too much, and was suddenly distracted.
"What you want to grow in your backyard, different crops, of course, have different means."
Sheng Qingqing immediately said: "I think about planting some melons, fruits and vegetables, if the backyard is planted well, I will plant some more on the land at the foot of the mountain." ”
As soon as he heard this, Kong Gaoming immediately became interested. He deserves to be an out-and-out farmer, as soon as he talks about those things in the field, he suddenly looks radiant, and the whole person is not wooden, and he almost began to say precautions to Sheng Qingqing.
"First of all, the seeds must be germinated, and when the seedlings grow, you can choose a point to plant, and then ......"
Sheng Qingqing nodded again and again when she heard this.
She only knew a rough idea before, but now she really knows about it.
Kong Gaoming talked for half an hour before he stopped.
"Uncle Kong, then now, should I go and turn the ground first?"
The land in the backyard is actually quite barren now, full of alfalfa grass, and even if there is free time, it is occupied by weeds. In this way, it is obvious that it cannot be used for planting.
Kong Gaoming followed her to the backyard to take a look, and taught a few words how to turn the ground.
Fortunately, there is only half an acre of land, Sheng Qingqing is holding a hoe, with the help of Kong Gaoming, it is not too difficult to turn over the ground, and later Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming also came to join in the fun, but they are small and weak, and at most they can only help pick up the alfalfa grass.
Except for a pile of alfalfa grass, the unknown weeds were all crushed under the upturned dirt. After a period of decay and fermentation, they become good fertilizers.
After turning the ground, Sheng Qingqing took the opportunity to ask Kong Gaoming to stay for lunch.
Holding the rice bowl and the fragrant dishes, Kong Gaoming ate very happily, and finally he wiped the thin sweat from the corners of his forehead and asked, "Miss Qing, what do you want to plant in your backyard, and where do you plan to buy the good seeds?" ”
Buy Seeds......
A space plant, Sheng Qingqing, who had never thought about this, suddenly froze in place.
