The strawberry seedlings in the greenhouse have entered the dormant period over time, and there is a lot of straw left when the rice is harvested in front of it, Liu Xiaoyu spread the straw on the strawberry seedlings according to the method in the strawberry planting instructions, so that they can survive the winter.

The expansion of the pond is a bit large, but fortunately, it is now the era of science and technology, and there are many special machinery that can dig the pond and expand the pond, so it didn't take much time, and it was much faster than planting fruit seedlings.

So the water in the pond was pumped out with a pumping machine, and then the fish, shrimp, yellow cockroaches, and loaches that were full of fish were thrown into the bucket basket one by one, and a few big turtles were actually harvested.

With the roar of professional machines, the mud in the pond was quickly cleared. The dug up pond mud is a good organic fertilizer and contains a lot of fish manure. According to the analysis, fish manure contains high nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. For example, in the fish manure of grass, carp, silver carp and crucian carp, the content of nitrogen and phosphorus is higher than that of pig manure and cow dung, and is about the same as that of large manure and sheep manure, second only to chicken manure and rabbit manure. In addition, according to research, fish pond mud is rich in available phosphorus and available potassium. Production practice has proved that fish pond mud has a good fertilizer effect on orange land, vegetable field and rice field. So these pond mud happened to be used by Liu Xiaoyu to fertilize those wastelands and mountains.

Pumping, digging ponds, expanding ponds and then releasing water, it took a few days before and after, after everything was done, Liu Xiaoyu looked at the pond that had been expanded n times the area and was very excited, if it weren't for the limited wasteland, and the trees and fruit seedlings had to be planted near the pond to create an environment, it is estimated that this pond could be expanded by Liu Xiaoyu.

The large piece of wasteland behind the compound has been renovated by Liu Xiaoyu who paid someone to turn over the land, and at that time he also heard those hired people chatting in private, saying that he was a mallet, so many predecessors dared to continue to contract after failure, purely because there was no place for more money, and his head was bitten by a pig.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu just smiled, if he didn't have a different dimensional space, to be honest, he wouldn't have been able to contract these mountains and wastelands at all, uh... It should be said that he will not come to Liujia Village at all, and it is estimated that he is still living a life of being a house in that small nest and can no longer live at home.

Since the ponds and wasteland have been completed, and the trees and fruit seedlings have been planted, Liu Xiaoyu's life has been busy, weeding, watering, and insect control. But busy and busy, his mood is still very happy.

Although I really want these freshly planted fruit seedlings to grow into towering trees overnight, reason tells Liu Xiaoyu that the consequences of doing so are not something he can bear.

Liu Xiaoyu's big deal caused a lot of sensation in the village, of course, most of them were still not optimistic about his results, and there were some old people in the village who often went to the Liu family's compound to take a look. After going back and forth, Liu Xiaoyu also got to know a few old people in the village.

The life in the countryside is not as good as in the city, in the past, they were basically facing the loess with their backs to the sky, working hard to cultivate the fields and watch the sky to eat, but now that the society has progressed, science and technology have developed, and the cultivated land and grain have also saved a lot of things, so those young laborers in the village either go out to work, or do not seek other jobs.

The custom in the countryside is that children will be divided as soon as they get married, especially if there are several brothers in the family. Few of the young boys and girls in the village are willing to stay in the village and be farmers all their lives, and basically they go out to work, and they only come back every year when they are busy with farming, or even do not come back all year round.

Fortunately, life in the countryside is relatively simple, and they are basically self-sufficient in food and drink.

After knowing this, Liu Xiaoyu suddenly realized, no wonder there are almost no young people in the village, they are just middle-aged and elderly, or they are still small children, it turns out that those young people are either going to school or working outside. In this way, it is no wonder that Liujia Village has not developed much.

There are also a few lonely and widowed elderly people in the village, who live relatively poorly, and basically rely on the village to take care of their lives. Liu Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and felt that the stall on his side had been spread, and he really couldn't be busy on his own, so he found the village chief and said that he wanted to hire a few old men, and the village chief Liu was very happy and grateful, and immediately found a few old people in their fifties in the village for Liu Xiaoyu to pick.

Liu Xiaoyu calculated that the chickens he was stocking at the back of the compound needed to be watched, and the ducks on the other side of the pond also needed to be watched, plus he was going to build a row of pigs on the side of the pond to raise some pigs, which also needed to be fiddled with, anyway, it didn't cost much money to hire these old people every month, and it was estimated that he hired a few more at one time, and promised to hire some more people when the compound was busy next year.

Liu Xiaoyu planted several kinds of pasture grasses produced by the space nearby, which are different shapes, in addition to being nutritious for chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep and other livestock, but also play a role in restricting the growth of wild grasses. Now, both on and off the mountain, these grasses are basically planted.

The reason why chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are placed in the pond is to reduce the odor in the air in the compound on the one hand, and on the other hand, the feces excreted by these livestock can be used to fertilize the fruit and can also be sprinkled into the pond as bait, which is a small ecological cycle breeding.

The bamboo rats and bamboo chickens that were originally raised in the backyard were also moved by Liu Xiaoyu with the breeding house, and a lot of vegetables and fruits were planted in the vacated space in the backyard. It's just that under the energy of space water, not only the fruits and vegetables in the backyard are vigorous, but even those cabbage insects and the like are also growing and fat, so that they can add a little meat to the recipes of the livestock in the courtyard from time to time.

After finishing the matter at hand, Liu Xiaoyu was able to relax again, just go around when he had nothing to do, chat with those old people, pick up eggs, mow grass, mix materials, feed or something. Looking at the thriving fruit seedlings and livestock, Liu Xiaoyu, who is becoming more and more a farmer, is very satisfied.

Now the production of Liu's compound is not much, at present there are only local chickens and ducks, eggs and duck eggs, bamboo rats and bamboo chickens and some aquatic products, pigs and sheep because the growth period is relatively slow, so it is probably not a short period of time before they can be slaughtered. The fruit groves on the mountain and the orchards below the mountain are estimated to be harvested as soon as next year.

Since hiring people to raise those livestock, Han Han and Xiaohu have retired from the work of chicken dogs and duck dogs, but they are not idle, and they have started patrolling security work full-time, and they feel that the area of the compound has expanded a lot, and they are not afraid of 10,000 in case, Liu Xiaoyu got a few more earth dogs and threw them into the space and became Han Han and Xiaohu's subordinates after being slightly transformed by the mastermind.

Liu Xiaoyu, who hadn't been to the back mountain for a long time, took Hanhan and Xiaohu to run again, this time he didn't hunt, but looked around and observed the situation in the mountain.

This mountain has been injured too badly, and it has only recovered slightly over the years, and the wild plants have grown quite well, but no new wildlife species have been found, and some of the existing ones such as pheasants, hares, and birds have increased in number.

Liu Xiaoyu thought to himself that when the fruit grove on the mountain and the orchard under the mountain grow in the next year, this mountain forest should be able to start some small-scale bow hunting activities.

Everything in the compound is basically on the right track, everything is ready, just wait for the orchard to mature, and at that time, the Liu family compound must be able to become a real private estate integrating leisure, entertainment and breeding.
