Chapter Twenty-Four: Growing Vegetables
As she expected, the greens with a short growth cycle grew extremely fast, ripening in a few days, and even faster than she expected.
This actually makes sense, normally speaking, ordinary fruit trees will grow for at least three or five years before they begin to bear fruit, and some even take five or ten years.
And in the land of this space, the growth cycle is calculated in days, and if it is spread, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
"In this way, we have to vacate most of the fruit trees and specialize in planting vegetables in the future."
After weighing it in her heart, Hua Ying had to give up painfully.
Red fruit trees are her favorite, but growing them is too laborious for the land, and if she doesn't eradicate some of them and let them grow, it won't be long before the land will be completely abandoned.
At the very least, until a way is found to increase the fertility of the land, red fruit trees can no longer be planted.
After figuring this out, Hua Ying began to take action to end the lives of these fruit trees.
She was also very neat in her work, and the fruits on the dozen or so fruit trees were quickly picked and piled aside, and then she picked up the tools at hand and aimed them at the roots of the fruit trees and began to dig deep and plan.
After eradicating most of them one after another, only three red fruit trees remained.
As for the shaved fruit trees, there is no waste, Hua Ying plans to take the time to use the wood to build a small storage room here, which will be used to store ripe red fruits and various vegetables in the future.
Make the best use of things, and never throw them away in vain.
Next.
Grow vegetables and grow vegetables.
Mei Zizi took out a ball of linen from her bosom, gently opened it, and poured the vegetable seeds in it into the palm of her hand.
Needless to say, this must have been borrowed by her from her friends in Lijia Village.
In fact, it cannot be said to be borrowed, it should be said to be exchanged.
Her little friend was a very naughty child, and he liked novelty very much, so Hua Ying did what he liked, and made some objects for him on the mountain.
It's all slingshots, bamboo swords, and other gadgets, and it's not a lot of effort to make.
To this end, Hua Ying harvested a bunch of sugar gourds, half a bottle of fertilizer, and more than a hundred vegetable seeds.
With seeds, it was much easier to grow vegetables, and she sowed them gently, and soon the seeds were planted in this small half of the land.
Next, it is to wait for the seeds to grow slowly, germinate, emerge, and grow leaves.
Soon after they were planted, these seeds sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, emerging from the soil, tender and green, and looked vibrant, not to mention how gratifying.
"Look at this, it should be able to grow in a day or two at most, let's go back first."
Hua Ying, who was squatting next to her, had been observing the situation of the buds, and after roughly estimating the ripening time, she got up and went to the small vegetable garden next to her to pick them.
Hehe, when I go back tonight, I can have green vegetables to eat, and I don't know how it tastes.
Hua Ying still remembers the difference between the red fruits that grow in this land and the ordinary wild red fruits, and she can't help but have some expectations in her heart.
After picking up more than enough, she took out a piece of cloth from her bosom, wrapped the vegetables in the cloth, and brought some fruit along the way, and then left the vibrant space with a silent thought.
Back in the valley, Hua Ying shivered from the cold wind that came from her, and she suddenly realized how warm it was over there.
It's amazing.
Picking up the jade pendant on the ground, Hua Ying picked up the cloth bag and prepared to leave here, but when it was over, she suddenly stopped again.
The cloth bag was put down, and she looked at the red fruits and greens inside, and she muttered to herself, "Maybe, you can try it......"
As she spoke, she took out two red fruits and a few greens from her cloth bag, then found a relatively open place, put them down on the spot, and looked around.
"It's just right here."
With that, she grabbed the cloth bag and hid far behind a tree, squatted on the ground and secretly observed.
When she was young, Hua Ying once heard the elders of the village mention that rabbits do not sting in winter, and when it is cold, even if it is snowing heavily, they will run out of their holes to forage for food.
She didn't know if it was true or not, but it didn't hurt to try.
The afternoon sun was warm and shining through the valley, melting some of the snow.
With a creak, the fluffy branches were crushed by the snowdrifts that fell from the treetops, snapped, and fell to the ground with a subtle sound.
Hua Ying leaned her back against the tree, heard a strange noise, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hand, and woke up slowly.
"Hey, why did you fall asleep......"
Xu waited too long, and after the bait was thrown, the rabbit refused to show up, and Hua Ying accidentally fell asleep.
Now that she woke up, she couldn't help but be annoyed and patted her head.
"I'm really ....... How can you fall asleep, the rabbit must have run away after so long. ”
While scolding herself, Hua Ying got up and prepared to leave. She had lost hope for this, so she had to wait until next time to catch the rabbit.
At this moment, as soon as she turned around, she turned her head and saw two rabbits squatting in the clearing in front of the tree, crunching and nibbling on green vegetables.
"There it is!"
Hua Ying's eyes suddenly glowed with gold, and without delaying for a moment, she rushed out with a whoosh and went straight to the rabbit.
Just as she was about to take down the two rabbits in one fell swoop, the unthinkable happened.
I saw that the two rabbits were eating fragrantly, and suddenly a figure burst out, menacing and rushing forward, one of the rabbits was so frightened that he died suddenly on the spot and fell to the ground, and the rabbit's legs kept twitching.
The other rabbit's psychological quality seems to be better, and its reaction is extremely fast, and at the same time as Hua Ying came out, it ran away, and escaped more than ten steps in a blink of an eye.
Hua Ying saw that one of the rabbits fell to the ground, ignored it, and chased straight after the rabbit that had escaped.
However, not long after chasing, she saw a scene that made people cry and laugh.
The rabbit that escaped was fast, but its sense of direction didn't seem to be ready, and it didn't run far and hit the tree headlong and killed it.
By the time Hua Ying arrived, the rabbit was already dying.
"What the hell, how did you run into two silly rabbits?" Hua Ying picked up the rabbit on the ground and scolded angrily.
She originally wanted to show off her body skills, and she just took this opportunity to test the results of her recent practice, but she didn't expect it to be over before it started.
Depressed for a while, he had to go back to the distance and pick up another rabbit that was scared to death on the spot, speechless in his heart.
"Eating them doesn't affect your brain, does it?"
One was killed and the other was scared to death, so how could she explain to her senior sister when she went back, she couldn't say that she picked up two rabbits on the road for nothing.
Anyway, let people catch them alive and go back, this is really.
"Ugh."
Although there was a harvest, Hua Ying was not happy at all.
Reluctantly, he carried the two rabbits, returned to the back of the tree, picked up the cloth bag, and went home.
