Chapter 106: Professional Things Are Left to Professional People
Su Ying felt that food could not be purchased completely, and they had to have the ability to be self-sufficient, so after the matter of the Gu clan was resolved, she wanted to solve the problem of rations.
The field of the Tiger Camp is to the east of the camp, and Qiao Yang said that after they arrived at the Tiger Camp, they slowly led people to enclose the land around the Tiger Camp, which can be regarded as dividing their own area.
Because this matter had no impact on the Gu Clan, they didn't interfere with it, so over the years, the area of the Tiger Camp was very distinct.
In the southeast direction of the camp, there is a field circled by Huwei, and there are people in the camp who know how to farm that say that this area is the most suitable for farming.
Cheng Ming had said to Aunt Jiang before that the land in the tiger camp is very fertile and very suitable for farming, and if it is used properly, it is no problem for them to eat on their own.
After arriving at the place, Qiao Yang pointed to a large area of the tunnel in front of him and said, "This is it." ”
Su Ying looked at it, the place was indeed not small, and it was almost impossible to see the end, but the three or five vegetable crops scattered in the field really didn't play much role.
"You've all been here for so long, why is this land so empty?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yang was so angry that he almost didn't jump up, "It was quite good when I first opened up the land here, Su Niangzi didn't know, what kind of good melons and good dates could be in this northern wilderness, and the things didn't sprout much, those starving ghosts came to steal and rob them, and the eldest brother also brought people to stop them at the beginning, but wave after wave came, and they really couldn't drive away, and over time, no one was willing to grow vegetables in this area." ”
Su Ying nodded noncommittally, "Cheng Ming, you go to the field and see what is suitable for planting in this season." ”
Cheng Ming nodded.
As soon as Cheng Ming left, Qiao Yang took out a bag of dim sum from his body and opened it, "Su Niangzi, this is the peach cake that the eldest brother brought back, you can taste it, if you like to eat it, I will ask someone to bring it next time." ”
There is something to eat, Su Ying is not polite to him, she took a piece of peach crisp and took a bite, it may have been placed for a long time during transportation, so the taste of the peach crisp has completely lost the freshly baked crispy, and it tastes soft and soft, but in this ghost place, it is absolutely delicious to be able to eat a bite of peach crisp.
"There is a dealer named Li Mazi in the tiger camp, do you know?"
"Of course I know, this Li Mazi is also a sleek and shrewd person, when the Gu clan was still there before, he couldn't be offended by flattering both sides, and from time to time he would send something to my eldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do so smoothly in his livelihood over the years."
"Where did he get all that goods from?"
A few days ago, she kept Jiang Yang staring at that Li Mazi, not to mention, that kid was really scheming, staring at it for so long, he didn't know how many places he picked up the goods, and he didn't let Jiang Yang catch the person who put the goods on him.
Later, she learned that Huwei also had a channel to buy goods here, so Su Ying asked Jiangyang and them to come back, but she was still a little curious about this Li Mazi.
Qiao Yang said: "This kid is very shrewd and covers it very tightly, but he still found out better than us, his goods are all through the channels of the Chu State, I heard that he has some connections at the border pass, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get those things." ”
"Madam, I've seen it all, although this land has been opened before, but because it has not been planted for a long time, if you want to reuse, you have to reclaim it again, this season combined with the climate here, you can try to plant some winter wheat, vegetables can be planted with some cabbage and potatoes."
"If you can plant, don't delay." Su Ying looked at Qiao Yang, "Can you get these seeds?" ”
Qiao Yang nodded, "No problem." ”
"Okay, how much you need, Cheng Ming will communicate with you directly."
Cheng Ming felt that this piece of land could be planted, "Madam, is it all full?" ”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows and said: "If you want to plant it all, then you will plant it all, this thing, I Su Ying will pay for it, but since you are determined to do this, even if you don't eat or sleep, you can do it." ”
Cheng Yang saw that Su Ying believed in himself so much, and his heart was moved, "Madam, don't worry, the little one will do his best, and he will not disappoint Madame, before that, I need to understand the climate change here with Gongzi Qiao."
Su Ying nodded, she always felt that it was enough for professional people to do professional things, and she didn't need to worry about the details.
Cheng Ming chatted with Qiao Yang for a long time, and after finally finalizing the number of seeds needed, Qiao Yang went back to the Tiger Camp first.
Su Ying was about to go back, but saw Cheng Ming stunned in place for a long time without moving, "What?" What else can't you figure out? ”
Cheng Ming patted his head and said, "I almost forgot the most important thing." ”
"Huh?"
Cheng Ming said: "Water source, farming requires a lot of water, if there is no water source, such a large area of land can not be planted." ”
Su Ying thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you to the neighborhood to have a look." ”
"Okay."
The place where the land was located was not far from the foot of the mountain, but the two of them walked around the cultivated land without seeing any obvious water source, only one or two ponds that stored water, but there was very little water in them.
The two of them saw that a rickety old man was hoeing the ground, and walked over.
Cheng Ming said politely, "Uncle, where does the water come from in this kind of land?" ”
The old man raised his head when he heard the sound and pointed ahead, "Over there, there is a well that goes all the way forward, and I went over there to fetch water." ”
The two of them followed the sound and looked, but they couldn't see the well that the old man said.
"Thank you, uncle." After Cheng Ming thanked him, he followed Su Ying to the direction guided by the old man, and it took two quarters of an hour to walk.
"No wonder these people don't want to come here to farm, the water source is too far away, and there is only one well, where can I fill such a large field."
Although Su Ying didn't know anything about this, Cheng Ming was right, not to mention that this well was still very small, and there was not much water in it.
"Look up the hill and see if there's any water."
"Yes."
The two turned to continue walking into the mountains, and just as the sun was about to set, they finally found a small stream.
"Found it, finally found it."
Su Ying looked at the gurgling stream, this stream is very wide, and the water flows down from the upstream, because the water surface is very wide, so it is not easy to break the stream, but this stream is some distance away from the farmland they want to irrigate, if you want to lead the stream over, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort.
Either way, it's good to be able to find water.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back first."
"Yes."
After walking for nearly two hours, the two finally saw the wooden building, and when they got closer, they found that there were several people kneeling outside the door.
