Chapter XXVIII
"I'll move it when I'm done here."
Chen Jing replied that it was true that he did not have time to move the stones in the second pool, but the pool still had to continue to be dug, and he asked, "Senior sister, how are you practicing swordsmanship?" ”
"Well, I feel like I'm almost done, but I can't say when I'll finish it."
Liu Fei'er replied that she felt that she would be able to practice, and that day was not far off, and now Liu Fei'er was digging the third pool, and if it was not completed by completion, then continue to dig the fourth.
"Okay, when this place is finished, I'll paddle another pool out."
Chen Jing said that there are too few people who can work on the mountain, and he can't count on it for a while.
The next morning, the renovation plan of the courtyard was in full swing, Chen Jing and Liu Fei'er slashed the stone, the pine cone pushed the stone away, and the little fox Tanbai had not recovered yet, and he couldn't do it by shouting and cheering, so he was driven outside to play by himself.
It took three days to dig up the stones and remove them, at which point the palace area turned into a large pit, leaving only the palace, a rockery and a well, standing on stone pillars in the pit.
The next step is to spit out the yellow glow and turn the half-zhang deep stone at the bottom of the pit into mud, and Liu Fei'er takes the pine cone to do it together to prevent the pine cone from accidentally breaking the stone pillars supporting the building.
Chen Jing set up a jasper flying boat to go down the mountain, carrying soil back and forth.
Songguo has increased his workload in the past few days, completing his work first, and after five or six days, Chen Jing finally brought back enough soil.
Chen Jing then uses water control techniques to pump water from the well to water the soil layer thoroughly, so that the loose soil layer settles, and the soil layer will be solid when the water dries up.
The well in the courtyard is connected to a pool by an underground channel, and the water level of the well is lower than the bottom of the pit.
A gap is dug in the wall at the bottom of the pit that can seep water, so that the water at the bottom of the soil layer will slowly seep into the well to avoid waterlogging due to the difficulty of water flowing out.
After the soil layer settled, Chen Jing laid the slate on it again, and when it was necessary to plant plants, he just removed the slate.
After more than ten days of busyness, it was finally completed, this evening, there was a big feast in the small pavilion, Chen Jing and Liu Fei'er roasted the meat with charcoal, the pine cone had its big fruit plate, and the little fox Tanbai, who had not made an inch, was also waiting to share the barbecue to eat.
Several meat skewers on the dark red charcoal fire rolled rapidly, the red venison and white bear fat on the meat skewers were staggered, and when the white bear fat became transparent on the charcoal fire and gradually dissolved, the fat soaked into the dark venison, and the aroma of the roast meat became even stronger.
Liu Fei'er stared at the meat skewers and smelled the aroma in the air, she hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and now she smelled the burnt smell, she was still quite greedy.
I saw Chen Jing sprinkle some seasoning on the meat skewers, and rolled the meat skewers on the charcoal fire a few times to let the fat and seasoning mix thoroughly, and then took a few meat skewers off the charcoal fire and put them on a jade plate.
"Let's eat it, and see how it goes?"
Chen Jing himself picked up a meat skewer and ate it, and at the same time placed a new meat skewer on the charcoal fire.
"When you smell it, you know it's going to be delicious!"
Liu Fei'er picked up a skewer of barbecue, blew it gently, and then bit off a piece of barbecue, the bear fat has been roasted transparently, and the entrance turns into a rich fat aroma, the venison is soaked in fat, and the burnt aroma and fat aroma are mixed together, which is even more memorable.
"Chirp!"
Liu Fei'er was enjoying the delicious food, only to feel that her feet moved, and the little fox Tanbai was spinning around her feet, and when she saw her looking down, she looked at her with eager eyes.
"This is for you, don't burn it!" The junior sister still spoils the little fox very much, so she gave the half skewer of barbecue in her hand to Tan Bai, and picked up another skewer herself.
Chen Jing concentrated on grilling the meat skewers, and didn't care about it, the little white fox has basically recovered his health these days.
However, if you experience such a hunger at such a young age, you may be smaller in size when you become an adult, and you can make up for it by eating more at this time.
Look at the pine cone next to it, it is eating its own fruit unhurriedly, this style completely compares to the monkey's anxious cocoon.
"Pinecone, come on!"
Chen Jing picked up an apple, bit off the small half, and threw the remaining half towards the little Qinglin Beast, the pine cone opened his mouth to catch the apple, and slowly ate it.
Flowers and trees can be planted in the renovated courtyard, and Chen Jingxian casually planted some ordinary ornamental flowers and plants around.
Some varieties with a long flowering period and not delicate are selected, such as begonias, blue flowers and bluebells. With these flowers, the palace area can flourish in all seasons.
Next, he was going to transplant the rare elixir on the flower stand in Chen Jing's study, and before transplanting, he first made a batch of small ice glass covers, and the diameter of these ice glass covers could be reduced to six feet, because the protective area was reduced and the protection was stronger.
This small ice glass cover was just right for protecting rare elixirs, and Chen Jing was going to give each elixir a separate ice glass cover.
Over the next few days, he slowly transplanted the rare elixir that was not suitable for keeping in pots into the garden.
In the future, large-scale planting will be carried out on the terraces of the planting area, and rare plants will be concentrated in the courtyard of the palace area as much as possible.
The peach pits of the two peaches have not moved, and the seeds of the five purple jade fruits have sprouted, and the luck is not bad.
At night, in the study of the small building, the moonstone inlaid in the four corners of the roof emits a soft white light to illuminate the room, and Chen Jing sits in front of the huge and heavy desk, holding a pen and writing while thinking.
With the step-by-step advancement of the development plan of Lingyan Mountain, Chen Jing is now busy with more things at hand, in order to avoid taking care of one or the other, regardless of priority, he briefly summarized:
Transplanting the rare elixir into the courtyard and building a two-story pavilion are not urgent, and the workload is not large, and they will be completed quickly if they are done slowly.
Moving the stones out of the second pool is a task that takes some effort, but is not rushed.
With a pool, you need to build some simple water conservancy facilities, such as a ditch for flood discharge, which can be left to the junior sister.
Planting the spirit tree is subject to the growth rate of the spirit tree, and it can't be fast if you want to.
Large-scale cultivation of spiritual grass, and now there is still a lot of vacant land in the terraces, and there is no spiritual medicine planted, which is a top priority.
Chen Jing used to only choose Stone Scale Grass, Returning Yang Grass and Fire Cloud Leaves, because planting these three things required less manpower, and the elixir produced was in high demand and high in price.
Since it was discovered that the Fire Cloud Leaf could not be planted on Lingyan Mountain, it was now necessary to choose several elixirs to replace them.
Judging from the experience of planting elixir during this period of time, Wanmu Chaochun Jue is worthy of the magic skill of planting elixir, so you only need to choose a spiritual grass that consumes less manpower and has a large number of seeds in your hands.
There is Wanmu Chaochun Jue, even if the demand for the elixir is small and the price is not high, there will be a lot of income from planting, but the income is not as big as that of Stone Scale Grass and Huanyang Grass.
