After a few spring rains, the village's large and small reservoirs gradually became watery, and the fields were also semi-wet, which made the villagers feel very happy after half a year of drought.

The pond at the foot of Mt. Kotomi has a water level that is already five minutes full, and there is an underground spring here, and it is located at the foot of Ushiwei Ridge, where the water in the mountain will slowly converge.

When Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs past the edge of the pond, he looked at the clear water in this pond and pondered that he should buy some fish fry and come back, as for the ducks, he didn't plan to raise them for the time being.

It's just that there are many mountains and little water on their side, and there are no local fish fry to sell, so they have to go to the next county to buy them.

There are rivers and lakes in the next county, and the lakes are connected to Poyang Lake, so there are fish fry for sale.

Gao Mingcheng didn't rush up the mountain, but went to see Huang Jingmiao first.

Huang Jing has already emerged seedlings, because there are few seeds, when he sows seeds, the spacing is deliberately wider, just so that when the seedlings emerge in the later stage, there is no need to pull out the overly dense seedlings.

But in this way, the yellow essence seedlings appear to be a little sparse.

He checked the growth of the yellow essence seedlings, and there was nothing wrong with them at present, these seedlings had to be cultivated in situ for a year, and after a year, they could be transplanted to other places, and then they would be planted for another three years before they could be harvested.

Of course, if it is propagated directly from the rhizome of Polygonatum polygonatum, then it can be harvested in a year or two.

This characteristic of yellow essence is similar to yam, if you use yam beans to reproduce, then it will take several years to be harvested, but if you directly use yam rhizomes to reproduce, then you can harvest that year.

Gao Mingcheng naturally will not wait stupidly for three or four years to harvest this batch of yellow essence, but will use this batch of yellow essence to reproduce the rhizome in the second year.

In the early spring of the following year, he dug out all these yellow essences, directly selected the young part of the apex, cut it into several sections, and dried them a little in about 3-4 sections before planting.

In this way, he will be able to harvest more Polygonatum in the same period of time, and he can continue to reproduce with rhizomes.

Of course, this is a long-term plan, and he doesn't need to do anything in the short term, just make sure that these yellow essence seedlings can thrive.

Beyond the yellow essence seedling field, there is a slope in front of it, the slope has not yet been reclaimed, overgrown with weeds, Gao Mingcheng decided to reclaim this slope tomorrow, because in late April, he is going to plant cassia here.

Cassia has tenacious vitality, and it doesn't need to be planted in too good ground, some wastelands and slopes can be planted, and there are many wild cassia seeds in other villages, but there are no in Gaojia Village, so he has to rely on planting to be able to get the harvest.

Cassia is also called false mung bean, because it looks somewhat similar to mung bean, but in fact it is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, which has the function of clearing the liver and eyes, laxative, and can also treat high blood pressure, headache, dizziness, acute conjunctivitis, corneal ulcer, glaucoma, carbuncle boils and ulcers.

But for ordinary people, a more familiar way to use cassia seeds to soak in water and drink, if you drink it regularly, you can clear the liver and eyes.

This herb is easy to grow and has a wide range of uses, so after Gao Mingcheng received cassia seeds from people from other villages last year, he decided to plant some of them himself.

He chose some corner slopes and planned to plant them there.

Walking all the way up the slope, he soon came to the place where the bayberry was planted, and he had high hopes for these Dongkui bayberry, so he carefully looked around under the bayberry tree, and did not find anything wrong, and then continued to walk forward.

This batch of fruit seedlings is of good quality, and there is a lot of rain this spring, so they don't need to be bothered to take care of, and they have grown well, and so far, there has been no death.

After crossing half of the forest, I finally came to the place where peach and pear trees were planted.

When these seedlings were transplanted, there were already a few flower buds, and now the flowers have long since bloomed, leaving only a few withered flowers still hanging on the branches.

These flowers are almost non-fruit-set, because peach trees need to be planted for three years before they can bear fruit, and this batch of fruit seedlings is at most two-year-old seedlings.

However, the peach tree grows relatively fast, and if it is planted well this year, it will grow a lot by the next year, and it should bear fruit.

Gao Mingcheng thought so, but his sharp eyes found that a few peach blossoms did not seem to have completely withered and withered, and the position of the buttocks of the flowers had small, fluffy green balls, which were small peaches!

Yes, it's a windfall, you can taste the taste of this batch of peach trees in advance. Therefore, he decided to wait a while and fertilize the fruit-bearing peach trees more.

I went to the pear tree to see it again, the pear tree fruiting time is longer, about five years, if it is grafted, it will be faster, the fruit seedlings sold to him in Shimen Village are from a variety of sources, so some fruit seedlings are grafted and reproduced, and some are native species.

Therefore, this batch of pear trees is not expected for the time being, and it will be raised for a few years.

Gao Mingcheng walked all the way up and soon came to the top of the mountain.

The entire Mt. Kotomi is in the shape of a mountain pack, and the slopes are mostly gentle, except for one side that is steeper, and you can see the whole mountain from the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is still a little bare, because he has not gone deep into the mountains to dig more camellia trees back, so he decided to find time to dig some back, after the weather in the province is hot, it is not suitable for transplanting trees.

After turning Kofuyama around, he went to his vegetable patch again.

The cow dung and sheep dung that were piled up in the winter were broken up and mixed evenly in the soil to strengthen the fertility of the land, so the seeds planted in early spring are now growing well.

Because the pepper seeds are sown relatively densely, after the seedlings emerge, they are densely packed together.

So he squatted down, prepared to thin the seedlings, pulled out some of the secondary seedlings, and then waited for the pepper seedlings to grow to about the length of an adult's palm, and then he could transplant them.

For a whole day, Gao Mingcheng was busy in the mountains and fields, and when he was hungry at noon, he casually cooked a bowl of noodles and lay two eggs in the noodles, which was considered lunch.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he walked down the mountain with a bundle of camellia saplings in one hand and a hare in the other.

When digging camellia saplings, he happened to encounter a hare, so he naturally couldn't be soft, put the flying knife on his fingertips, and with a throwing action, the hare died.

After planting all the camellia trees dug up, Gao Mingcheng carried a basket and then carried the hare to Gao Shouwang's house.

In the basket, there were six catties of honey and a bottle of special wine that Gao Shouwang wanted.

Well, tonight's dinner is over!

Gao Mingcheng was in a very good mood, whistling all the way, the black tiger and the elf were very sticky to the master, and followed him inch by inch, one person and two dogs, striding forward.
