Chapter 5 Growing Vegetables

When he got home from work, Li Dong went back to the bedroom first, took out a frog from his pocket and put it in a glass. The frog was caught during work in the afternoon and kept in his pocket, which was the small animal that Li Dong was going to use for experiments.

He entered the space with the cup, went to the pool and filled it with water, and was afraid that the frog would jump out, so he found another stone and pressed the mouth of the cup. Just put the cup on the ground and you're out of the space.

came to the little girl's room, knocked on the door and pushed the door in, the little girl had woken up and was playing with the cloth tiger that Lu Xiumei made for her.

"Little Five, are you better?" Li Dong rubbed her hair.

"Daguo, even better, and I drank a big bowl of porridge at noon." The little girl's face did look much better, and she had the strength to speak.

"That's good, hurry up and put on your clothes, big brother will take you to get an injection, and there are three more injections?" Li Dong brought her clothes.

"Daguo, the puppet is already good, don't waste any more money."

Although she is young, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and the little girl also knows that in order to see a doctor for herself, Daguo has gone to work on the construction site, which she overheard her family say. The little girl was very sad, she didn't want Daguo to suffer.

"How can this work, how can a cold be cured without injections? Hurry up. Li Dong coaxed.

When she came back from the injection, it was almost dark, and the little girl didn't want to go to bed anymore to lie down, Li Dong saw that she was really well, so he went with her, just told the fourth child to watch the dot on the side.

Back in the bedroom, closed the door, Li Dong immediately entered the space, picked up the cup on the ground, and immediately went out of the space, mainly for fear of being discovered by his family. Taking away the stone, Li Dong teased the frog with his fingers, jumping around and looking like nothing was wrong.

At this time, Li Dong was relieved that the water in the space was drinkable normally. Pouring the frog into the backyard, Li Dong filled another glass of water from the space, drank it into his mouth and tasted it, the water was sweet and had the taste of a frog.

"Vomit ......"

Seeing the withered yellow vegetable seedlings in the backyard, Li Dong found a bucket, fetched a bucket of water from the space, and watered all the vegetable patches. Usually, due to the lack of water, these vegetable plots are basically watered with the waste water left over from washing clothes at home, because of the high salt content, the harvest is very small, and it is better than nothing.

After dinner, Li Dong closed the door and entered the space, carrying a hoe and a bucket in his hand, which Lu Xiumei usually used when she was farming. As for the seeds and the agricultural book, they have long been put into the space when they go to the toilet during the day, so as not to take them home and be discovered.

Before starting work, Li Dong read the agricultural book for a while, but he didn't expect that farming was so troublesome, and just preparing the land was enough for Li Dong to drink a pot. Fortunately, the uncle also has a note in the book, some places where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and a rough planting method is commonly used, which is to take a steel bar, poke a hole in the ground, put seeds, cover the soil, water, and finish.

Li Dong admires this rugged planting method very much, and feels that it is tailor-made for himself. Although the yield is only half of that of traditional planting, it is very suitable for this special situation of its own, and the constant temperature and light in the space should increase some yield.

Just do it, Li Dong took the hoe out of the space, and it took a lot of effort to find a scrap steel bar, but fortunately, it was sharpened at one end, which could save more effort.

The hole is not very deep, only two or three centimeters, according to the book, so that it is easier to germinate. It took more than an hour for Li Dong to finish planting the cabbage, which was really too many cabbage seeds, accounting for almost one-third of the area.

Next, in a different place, Li Dong planted green peppers, and this time he learned his lesson and stopped planting only more than a hundred seeds. The rest of the time, Li Dong planted tomatoes and radishes again, and only planted a small area, so the whole space was full.

Only spinach has not been planted, this is because spinach is a way of sowing, and the soil must be loosened and broken first, and the method of poking holes will not work at all. Helpless, Li Dong had no choice but to give up, and he would talk about it when he had a chance in the future.

After a short rest, Li Dong carried a bucket and watered the vegetable patch again, and the space was wet and full of mud. Out of the space, I heard two bells in the living room, it seemed that it was already two o'clock in the morning, a little too late, Li Dong simply cleaned up and quickly fell asleep.

……

Time flies quickly, ten days have passed since the last time I planted vegetables, and today is the last day of Li Dong's work, because the work is almost finished and is being finished.

At noon, Director Feng found Li Dong, obviously having something to discuss, Li Dong guessed that it should be a matter of work.

"Dongzi, this job is done today, do you have any plans next, do you want Uncle to help you find other jobs?" Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Feng opened his mouth, it was a matter of work.

"Uncle Feng, thank you for taking care of me these days." Li Dong bowed to Uncle Feng to express his gratitude, and then continued:

"Uncle Feng, you also know that I am young and not suitable for this kind of work, which will only make Uncle Feng embarrassing you."

Director Feng was just about to explain, Li Dong stopped Uncle Feng from opening his mouth and said his plan: "I'm not going to look for a job, a few days ago, I met a classmate, his family is in the countryside, the village grows a lot of vegetables, I plan to go there to wholesale some vegetables to sell in the market, anyway, it's easier than work, do you say yes?" ”

In fact, the real situation is that the vegetables in the space are growing gratifyingly, almost twice as fast as the outside world. All the vegetables that were planted at the beginning have sprouted, and now they are all palm-high. In a few days, the cabbage will be harvested, and it may take another month for other vegetables.

In order to cover up the existence of vegetables in the space, Li Dong decided to look for a source of goods from tomorrow and become a real vegetable seller. Only in this way can the vegetables in the space be taken out and sold openly, and others will not be suspicious.

"Dongzi, you have thought about it, it is easy to be a vegetable seller, but the supply is not easy to find, can you guarantee that people will sell it to you?" Uncle Feng persuaded that it was "winter", it was the dry season, and the temperature at night was low, so how could it be so easy to grow vegetables privately?

"Uncle Feng, think about it, anyway, I'm still young, I don't want to be a hard worker for the rest of my life, I want to fight." Li Dong said it categorically.

Having said that, Uncle Feng knew that it was useless to persuade him, but he just hoped that this kid would be able to turn back as soon as possible after breaking his head. He patted Li Dong on the shoulder vigorously and said solemnly:

"Okay, you have to go up and uncle won't stop you, but if you encounter difficulties, you must come to your uncle, although your uncle and I don't have great skills, ordinary small things can still be solved."

Li Dong nodded and made a promise to Uncle Feng.
