With enough labor, it will not take a few days for the scattered twenty acres of mountainous land to be reclaimed.

The place chosen by Liu Ci is halfway up the West Mountain, where small terraced fields have been built up with dams, and the intensively cultivated soil is soft and breathable. After spending a few days in the greenhouse, the frostbitten tea seedlings were basically relieved, and Liu Ci asked the hired workers to start digging trenches in the terraces.

The planting row spacing is between 1 meter 3 and 1 meter 5, and the row trench should be dug and filled with basal fertilizer.

Nitrogen fertilizer grows leaves, phosphate fertilizer promotes fruit, and potassium fertilizer acts on the root system. Purified bio-organic fertilizer nutrient solution of various elements Liu Ci never dared to think, simply natural nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer have corresponding soil fertilizer.

Human feces contain nitrogen, bones contain phosphorus, and plant ash contains potassium, and if the growth status of crops and the lack of elements are not known, indiscriminate fertilization will cause yield reduction and loss of dead plants.

The most important place for tea seedlings to be transplanted is long roots, and plant ash containing potassium has become Liu Ci's first choice. It's not advisable to take shortcuts in the hard work of farming, and it's not a wise idea to try to get all the fertilizers needed for plant growth at once in order to save trouble.

It is important to know that the mixed application of plant ash and nitrogen fertilizer will cause nitrogen volatilization loss; Mixed application with phosphate fertilizer will cause phosphorus fixation, and the fertilizer efficiency of phosphate fertilizer will be lower. 40,000 tea seedlings, just buying seedlings cost Liu Ci nearly 30,000 gold coins, if she didn't order carefully, the tea seedlings were not frozen to death but were "burned" by fertilizer, that is the only way to be so angry that she vomited blood.

Among the hired workers, Harvey, who had performed well, was now in charge of quarrying and firing bricks and pottery, while Liu Ci supervised the work in the tea plantation, directing the hired workers to dig ditches and apply fertilizer while observing them. For the "knowledge" she said from time to time, most people only knew to follow her command, while the motivated people were trying to remember what Liu Ci said.

She was going to bring two more stewards to the hires to manage one of the plantings. After all, the old housekeeper James is old, and the general direction under the overall management is OK, Liu Ci can not command an old man to climb mountains and wade all day long, at the beginning of the construction of the tea garden, there are many things to worry about, planting tea is not just a pit to plant tea seedlings, you can sit and wait for the harvest of tea.

"Miss, can you transport the tea seedlings?"

The chief butler, James, tried to ask, waking Liu Ci from his contemplation.

Liu Ci looked at the progress of digging the ditch and the soil, and saw that it was still early, so he asked people to transport 5,000 seedlings up for trial planting.

"Let them be careful not to hurt the tea seedlings."

The hired workers nodded, the cheapest snow tea seedlings cost 4 silver coins, and the big housekeeper said that the tea seedlings called "Fenglu" were worth 2 gold coins each, and if they killed a tea seedling, they had worked in vain for several months, how could they not be careful.

After an hour, the tea seedlings were carried up one after another.

Five thousand tea seedlings, all of which are the cheapest snow tea, have been raised for a few days with wilted branches and leaves, and they were only watered last night, which looks very energetic.

Liu Ci measured the distance with a thin rope, signaled them to plant according to the distance of about 30 centimeters, dug a small pit to plant the tea seedlings, and then surrounded the loose soil and finally some water.

The snow water is cold, and Liu Ci let people build a reservoir when the land is cleared, and the first planting for a month or two is still based on the water source provided by the water gathering charm.

"Plant three seedlings per cluster, pay attention to the distance, the spacing of tea seedlings should be fixed, don't plant messy!"

Liu Ci is the commander-in-chief, and the hired workers point where to fight, holding tea seedlings, more carefully than looking at their own children.

5,000 tea seedlings, planted almost three acres of land, planted when the sky is not dark, and when the extra branches and dead leaves are built, it is really a little sunset.

The sun was about to be swallowed up by the mountains, and at sunset, looking at the five thousand tea seedlings that had been neatly arranged and planted, their thin branches swaying slightly in the spring breeze. Liu Ci is not the only one who gives them hope?

On the hillside, one day the fragrance of tea will float, which is also the thought of the employees who planted the tea seedlings by themselves.

They hope that the owner's life is getting better and better, and the life they are living now is full of food and clothing, and the life of living in a building can continue!

"Let's go, go down the mountain, or the little butler will come to urge again."

Liu Ci beckoned to everyone and motioned for them all to follow down the mountain.

The little housekeeper in her mouth is Nana, and the employees know Nana's lively mouth, and they all laugh in the face of Liu Ci's "complaints".

The hired workers felt that "Miss Ci" was as high as snow on the top of the mountain, and no one dared to laugh with her, only the maid Nana nagged in her ear all day long, so they gave Nana the title of "little butler". The chief butler James manages the operation of the manor, and the little butler Nana manages Liu Ci's daily life, and the division of labor is very clear.

Tonight, the canteen has changed its taste, and the main dish is apple-flavored sweet pies.

Liu Cidu admired his face and ate two small pieces, the food that did not contain spiritual energy, which could only satisfy the desire of the lower mouth, and it was not helpful for cultivation, so he couldn't help but regret it.

She cut the apple pie and thought that in addition to having her own "Reiki Vegetable Garden" and "Reiki Grain Field", having a "Reiki Orchard" should also be put on the schedule.

"Miss, we only buy flour in the city, and the transportation cost is very high, do we want to plant some wheat in the valley before the early spring is over?"

After dinner, it was the time for deliberations, and the old butler James was being trained by an aristocratic housekeeper to serve as the steward of the grange, and his suggestion was originally in Liu Ci's consideration, but he was busy planting tea, and he forgot about planting wheat for a while.

"Well, tomorrow let people sell wheat seeds, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, you must choose good seeds. The tea fields on the hillside have been reclaimed, and it is not necessary to plant tea seedlings with so many people, so draw 25 people down to reclaim the valley and flat-bottom. ”

The soil in the valley is of decent quality, like the slopes of the mountains, it has never been ploughed, and the grass roots are dense, so it is not easy to sort out. Since you grow wheat, you don't care about other plants. When the weather is warmer, Liu Ci still has a shed of grape vine seedlings to transplant, the spring ploughing is busy, the demand for labor is high, it seems that the work of quarrying should be suspended, and the farming will continue when the farm is slack.

"In addition to wheat seeds, pea and corn seeds are bought, and there are still a lot of vegetable seeds left, so I don't need them for the time being. The people of Tostur kept an eye out for the farmers' market, and if they had fruit saplings, they bought some of each, and if they didn't, they had to ship them from other regions. ”

Amster's weather, Liu Ci has always treated it as the north of the earth, obviously can only grow a year-round spring wheat, peas spring sowing time is the same as wheat, can be planted together.

There must be very few native fruit seedlings in the Emster region, but those that can survive the test are all hardy. In Liu Ci's estate plan, there was originally an orchard, and in Emster, grapes were used to make wine, and other fruits were more cost-effective to sell fresh.

The old housekeeper James wrote down everything Liu Ci said, and thought of the out-of-season vegetables that he had inspected during the day.

"Miss, there are several kinds of melons, you can pick them. When spring comes, the snow in Emster will melt soon, so you need to plan for whether or not we continue to grow vegetables in the glass house. ”

Since the tea seedlings arrived, Liu Ci's mind has been on the mountains, and he has indeed not been to the greenhouse for almost a week. Hearing James say that the melons and vegetables were cooked, she immediately became interested.

"Let's go, let's go and talk about it."

The night was cold, Nana forcibly added a cloak to Liu Ci, and Amy quietly gave a thick robe to the old butler James.

A master and a servant were dressed warmly, and the little maid went to the greenhouse, one after the other, carrying two glass lampshades in her hands, and went to the greenhouse with Liu Ci and James.

Pushing open the door, a stream of heat rushed to people's faces, with the fragrance of melons and fruits.

A week ago, the pumpkin was only as big as a sea bowl, but sure enough, it grew two more times, and the skin turned an even orange-red, which looked very festive. The pumpkin can grow up to more than ten catties, and the pumpkin in front of me is about seven or eight catties.

"The pumpkin has been kept for a long time, and the pumpkins in the cellar of the people in the city of Amster may not have been eaten yet, and the price of selling pumpkins now is estimated to be inexpensive, and it will be good to sell them in another month."

Under normal circumstances, the pumpkin is ripe in autumn, and the pumpkin transported to Emster from other places is a winter vegetable reserve, and it is only April after a month, and the pumpkin from other places is still a few months earlier, so I am not afraid that it will not be sold at a price.

Liu Ci's statement moved James, and the old man felt that although his young lady was not in a state most of the time, she really wanted to develop business, where would there be a way for Stuart to live.

After looking at the pumpkin, Liu Ci was very satisfied, and took James to turn around and go to other greenhouses.

Cucumbers and loofahs have been picked and sold, and now it is the "fruiting season", the big ones can be picked again in two days, and the tender ones are covered with green thorns and have just borne fruit from the stalks.

"In terms of manual pollination, there is a special person to manage it, right?"

Liu Ci turned his head and asked James.

The woman in charge of the two vegetable greenhouses stepped forward, "Miss, the two greenhouses of melons and vegetables, fertilizing, weeding, and pollinating, are all managed by the little woman. ”

Liu Ciding looked at it, and the woman was a little familiar: "You are Kerry Blatter's mother?" Yes, you manage the two greenhouses very well. ”

The woman nodded, a smile juxtaposed with shyness and pride.

was praised by Liu Ci for her work, which made her very uncomfortable, so she was a little shy; Liu Ci valued her son Kerry, and the woman was sincerely proud.

Liu Ci now has a total of 15 greenhouses, of which 7 are used to grow out-of-season vegetables, 2 are vine melon vegetables, and 5 are stem and leaf vegetables. One greenhouse is used to grow bean sprouts, and another four greenhouses are used to grow grape vine seedlings. There are also 3 greenhouses, all of which are used to grow flowers.

Out-of-season vegetables, plus bean sprouts that can be harvested every five or days, from the time of production to the present March, Liu Ci has accumulated a wealth of nearly 60,000 gold coins.

Among them, 30,000 gold coins paid for the tea seedlings, plus the grapevine seedlings that she replenished one after another, filling the four greenhouses, and it cost her another 10,000 gold coins. There are also 10,000 gold coins sent to add to Lydia and Arnold, Liu Ci makes a lot of money, and spending money is like flowing water, getting rich in a short time, and becoming a poor ghost in a shorter time, so she is so fond of a few vegetable greenhouses.

"We have to continue to grow small leafy vegetables such as spinach, and even if it's not winter, Emster City lacks green vegetables, which will cost us much less than vegetables that come in from other places. When the weather warms up, the price will definitely fall, although it is no longer a huge profit, it is still no problem to make money. ”

James was deeply impressed by Liu Ci's statement.

The accounts handled by the villa are all managed by James, except for Liu Ci, he is the only one in the entire villa who knows these vegetables best, and has earned an unimaginable amount of gold coins in just two months.

To put it mildly, James once went to the city, and when he was handing over accounts with Stull, he saw the servants rushing to buy vegetables, which really made the stereotypical old butler stunned, and for a while forgot the principles of the elite butler education he received, and questioned the lack of real nobility in Amster City...... They grabbed the dishes, and they were too subtle.

"The first batch of unsold cabbage is now wrapped in heart, and it should be ready to go on the market, miss."

After the pumpkin's experience, James's advice became subtle. Liu Ci went to see the cabbage greenhouse, the first batch of cabbage that was not pulled out, one by one grew round and not slippery, the yellow leaves, the white and tender stems, all in a row, a Chinese cabbage has five or six catties, and the harvest is at least four or five thousand catties. In the Earth Federation, this is a vegetable with a yield of more than 10,000 catties per mu, Liu Ci, who is not very popular, turned his head and said to James: "The cabbage is ripe, organize people to cut and harvest it overnight tonight, and there is also a batch of vegetables to be transported to the city tomorrow on Stull's Zhuangzi, which is probably the last batch of out-of-season vegetables." ”

In Amster City in early spring, except for the Magic Academy, even after winter, there are no local vegetables, James thought silently in his heart, the vegetables that Miss Ci and Mr. Garland cooperated with can still make a lot of money.
