Chapter 97: Cooperative Reclamation
Shen Yunxi looked at the mountains in the distance and had to continue to reclaim the wasteland. There are so many seeds in the space, there is always something suitable for growing here.
At this time, Tian Qiaoling was preparing to make lunch. She opened her pocket and screamed, "Huh? Fourth aunt, come and have a look. Sweet potatoes and potatoes here have sprouted. Can you still eat it?"
When Shen Yunxi heard this, he immediately stood up and looked down. "Sweet potatoes are still edible, but potatoes can't be eaten. They are poisonous. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are running out anymore. Don't eat them. I'm going to carve out a wasteland to grow these things. ”
"Mother, aren't you burning bricks to build a house?" Tian Xiuli asked, it's okay to live in such a bamboo shed in summer, but in winter, such an airtight bamboo shed is not good.
Shen Yunxi explained with a smile: "I was too rash. Although there is clay here that can be used to make bricks, it is too complicated to make bricks. We don't have a place to lay bricks on a rainy day. Once wet, it turns into a pile of mud. So, I plan to open up wasteland, farm, hunt, make money in various ways, and then buy bricks and tiles. ”
Tian Xiuli was stunned. "Mother, is it hard to work hard to make money? I'll help you. ”
Shen Yunxi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not hard. Just help me watch Xiuzhu and Erniu. ”
"Fourth aunt, Junling and I are both older, we can help you reclaim the wasteland." Tian Qiaoling now likes her life very much. You don't have to be beaten or scolded. Although she was hard, she was happy.
"Okay, when your mother and Da Niu come back, we'll talk about land reclamation." Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "I want to go to my uncle's house in the village to borrow an iron plow."
Since the end of the land reclamation, every household has had a hoe, shovel and sickle. If you do not pay for rice seeds and farm tools, you must return the money you used to buy farm tools and keep all of them in your account.
Shen Yunxi opened the bag and put six oil-paper bags containing vegetable seeds, local cold melons and beans.
Shen Yunxi took out some of the rest from the space, took off the outer packaging, and wrapped it in oiled paper. There are tomato seeds, melon seeds, melon seeds, and pepper seeds.
Shen Yunxi was worried that the seeds would not be planted well, so he did not use up all the seeds and left some.
Shen Yunxi separated several semi-circular bamboo tubes, put the seeds into semi-circular bamboo tube containers, and then watered and soaked the seedlings.
Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling felt that the fourth aunt was very powerful. They followed the example of the fourth aunt and helped her do what she could.
During lunch, Shen Yunxi went to Tamura Chief's house.
"Village chief, I want to borrow an iron plough and go to the distance to reclaim the wasteland and plant my sweet potatoes and potatoes. That day, I used my own money to buy some other seeds at the grocery store. I want to try to grow them. Shen Yunxi smiled: "Auntie, I'll try, do you want to plant?" If you want, I'll give you some when I have seedlings. ”
Yang Dacui wanted to go, but because Shen Yunxi paid back the money to buy it, "That's the money you paid, it's not good for me to take your things directly." Weichuan and Weichuan's daughter-in-law, you two helped reclaim the wasteland, and it was not for nothing. ”
"Mother, I'm going to measure the land with my father!" Tian Weichuan put down the rice bowl in his hand and said, "This is a major event in the village. How can we not be involved?"
When Weichuan's daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly said, "Weichuan is very busy. I'm free. I'm going to help. ”
"Weichuan and his father went to measure the land, and his mother took care of the children at home, and the others followed. I also went, and we also cleared up the land and planted vegetables. Other people's homes don't have iron plows, but we do, and now we don't open up wasteland. Can we wait for someone else to have an iron plough before we open up the wasteland?" Yang Dacui said that if you want to live a good life, you must be diligent.
