MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 99 one more
the second day.
Lin Ling started to grow the cotton she brought back from Zhao Xiaoling.
There are not many cotton seeds, but there are fifty, so she directly planted vegetables in the vegetable field, and waited for two times to collect them and waited for the seeds to increase before planting in a large area.
At the end of Xia, he helped dig the ground and water: "Sister, is this watermelon?"
"This is cotton." Lin Ling explained.
Xia Mo didn't understand: "What is cotton?"
Lin Ling: "It's the white stuff inside the quilt you covered."
Xia Mo: "Those are the flowers it blooms?"
Lin Ling hummed.
"It's amazing, the flowers it bloomed turned out to be a quilt." Xia Mo looked at a thin cotton seedling that had just been planted, "Can it support such a big quilt?"
Lin Ling burst out laughing, "The quilt is made of many, many flowers of cotton compacted together, it doesn't just bloom out of a quilt when it blooms."
Xia Mo blushed, "I don't even know, I'm so stupid."
"I didn't know it when I was a child, but I didn't know it until I grew up." Lin Ling read the "Newborn Parenting Manual" that said that giving children more encouragement can help him sort out his self-confidence, so she added: "You are only eight years old. I knew how to plant cotton and how to bloom in the future, much better than me."
After being praised, Xia Mo covered her face in embarrassment, oh, is he really that good? Xia Mo, who was not used to being praised, was full of joy in his eyes. He felt that he was recognized by Lin Ling, but he didn't dare to confirm it: "I'm really good?"
"Well, it's already great." Lin Ling looked at Xia Mo, who was demanding and praised, and praised Xia Mo again, who was not very skilled.
Xia Mo's ears started to turn red, oops, he was praised again, so happy! But he still felt that nothing could compare to Lin Ling, and Lin Ling was the most powerful: "Sister is even more powerful."
Lin Ling rubbed Xia Mo's head, "Okay, now that the cotton is planted, let's plant watermelons."
The number of watermelon seeds is also very small, only one hundred.
Because both Lin Ling and Xia Mo wanted to eat watermelon as soon as possible, these watermelon seeds were very precious.
Because of the emphasis, every step of Lin Ling's planting is strictly carried out in accordance with the instructions in the Agricultural Encyclopedia. It says that watermelons are light-loving and not cold-resistant, so they are suitable for planting in sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage.
Lin Ling looked for this kind of sandy soil. After searching for a long time in the land inside the wall, he finally found a piece of land with a lot of sand. This kind of land is loose and easy to cultivate. All right.
After reclamation, ditches are made to facilitate drainage. In addition, a layer of organic fertilizer is spread under the raised high bed in the middle, and the soil is fertilized first.
Then the watermelon seedlings will produce three leaves before they can be transplanted and planted. There are only a hundred watermelon seeds in total, and they are sparsely planted in half an acre of land. After planting, water a little water to complete the work.
After planting, wait for the watermelon seedlings to survive. After the vines grow, you need to prune the vines. After that, you will continue to sit the melons, topdress and replenish water in a timely manner. Finally, you can harvest the watermelons when they grow up and mature.
The process was quite complicated, Lin Ling was afraid that he would not be able to remember it, so he wrote it down on a special paper and pasted it on the door, so that he could check it when he went in and out every day.
At the end of Xia Xia, after learning that watermelon tastes better than Sanyue Pao'er, she also went to the watermelon field to check every day, counting the leaves to see when it was time to press the vines, hold the vines and lift the stems.
At the end of summer, Lin Ling felt much more relaxed, and was free to manage other fruit saplings.
The exchanged cherry and loquat seeds totaled more than one hundred. Lin Ling specially found a piece of land to plant them, fertilized and watered them regularly, and estimated that they would be able to eat the fruits in a few years.
Lin Ling took the other two bags of tree seeds and planted them outside the fence.
Five days later, the 30 acres of wheat, 50 acres of rapeseed and 25 acres of rice that Lin Ling had planted had all turned yellow and were ready to be harvested.
All the work was rushed together, Lin Ling didn't care about rest, and hurriedly harvested the wheat, rapeseed and rice together, and it was already a month after they were all harvested and dried in the sun.
After harvesting these grains, the hundreds of acres of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in the field can also be harvested, and it will be half a month after they are all harvested home.
This time, they harvested a lot of food, which was enough for them to eat for two or three years. Lin Ling wanted to rest, so he didn't rush to plant food for the time being. He only planted some vegetables and some sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were planted about 150 mu , specially used to feed pigs and chickens.
The pigs Jiujie and Zhu Shijie in the piggery have grown fat and have big ears, and they are already showing signs of estrus. It is estimated that they will be able to raise piglets in half a year at the latest. So planting more sweet potatoes is also a good idea.
After finishing her work, Lin Ling sat slumped on a chair and looked at the sky. Before she knew it, the sky had brightened a lot, and she could faintly see a hint of blue.
Xia Mo, who had grown taller, sat on the steps under the eaves, looking up at the sky like Lin Ling: "Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the sky." Lin Ling looked at the sky and said softly to him, "You know from reading that our world used to have four seasons, our sky had blue sky and white clouds, it would rain, it would snow, it would blow wind, and it would hail... "
"After the end of the world, everything has changed. There are no four seasons, no blue sky and white clouds, no water source, and no place to live."
Lin Ling looked hard at the faintly visible little bit of blue behind the haze, "Now, the world in the book seems to be coming back slowly."
Xia Mo took a closer look, and exclaimed excitedly: "It seems that there really is."
Brother Chou also looked up to the sky, and barked at the trace of blue.
"Sister, can we continue planting some trees? Then the sky will soon turn blue." Xia Mo stood up suddenly: "Sister, let's go to that forest to find some more seeds now." come over."
"I'll go back in a few days." Lin Lingjue, who had been busy for nearly three months, felt a little tired and wanted to rest for a while to recover.
"That's good." Seeing that Lin Ling was a little tired at the end of Xia, he suddenly remembered that there was a bowl of sweet potatoes in the refrigerator, so he rushed to take it out: "Sister, you eat."
Lin Ling looked at the sweet potatoes in the bowl, "Why are there more?"
"I've left all the food for you to eat." Xia Mo handed the bowl to Lin Ling, "It's delicious."
"Okay." Lin Ling picked up a bright red wild sweet potato, which smelled sweet and made people feel much better.
This wild sweet potato is also known as Diloquat, and in some places it is called Diguo, and some people call it Mandixiang. As the name suggests, as long as it grows, it can smell a sweet fragrance.
This kind of wild sweet potato usually only grows in rural areas. It has luxuriant branches and leaves all year round, and its vitality is very tenacious. The fruit usually matures around June in the lunar calendar. After ripening, it is very sweet and can be smelled from far away.
In addition, its rhizomes and leaves also have the effect of clearing away heat and promoting dampness.
However, Lin Ling still prefers to eat fruit, which is fragrant and sweet, and makes people feel happy after eating.
Lin Ling ate a few wild sweet potatoes, and returned all the rest to Xia Mo, "Eat it."
Xia Mo shook his head: "Give it to my sister."
"I won't eat." Lin Ling watched Mo Xia secretly swallowing, knowing that Mo Xia also liked to eat, "Take it and eat."
At the end of Xia, she still shook her head: "Give it to my sister, my sister can replenish her body after eating it."
Lin Ling said: "Only by eating meat can you replenish your body."
Xia Mo thought for a while: "Then sister eat more meat."
"Okay." Lin Ling stood up, "Then I'll catch two chickens, one for today and one for tomorrow."
The ugly brother lying under the eaves and closing his eyes immediately stood up: I'll catch it.
"Let's go and choose a fat one." Lin Ling walked towards the back of the chicken coop together with Brother Shang Chou. Now she has almost 500 chickens, so she doesn't feel bad about killing two chickens.
And the chickens eat a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes every day. If they don't grow more, these hundreds of chickens can't bear to eat like this every day.
"Choose two fat ones." Lin Ling yelled to Xiaolu who ran into the chicken coop together: "Don't kill them all at once, you won't be able to make blood if you die."
Brother Chou retracted his teeth, unable to resist the urge to bite the dead chicken.
Soon, Brother Chou and Little Green came back dragging a chubby hen.
Lin Ling took the chicken and weighed it, and it weighed about six catties. "It's really fat. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not free."
Chun Mian, who was watching strangely by the side, clamped his **** tightly. It steals so many sweet potatoes every day, will it be eaten by the boss if it grows too fat?
Chun Mian looked down at her thick chicken thigh. It has grown to more than ten kilograms now, what should I do? How to do? Does it want to eat less? Want to lose a little weight?
Lin Ling went home and cut the throats of the two chickens, and reserved the chicken blood. After solidification, it can be made into noodles with chicken liver, chicken intestines, chicken liver, and chicken heart.
After the chickens were cleaned, one was stewed directly with potatoes, and the other was stewed with radishes. The soup also put some tonics such as ginseng and dangshen that she exchanged with people at the small market this time.
After the soup on the stove was stewed, it was almost dark.
The potato stewed chicken that Lin Ling made with the firewood stove was almost ready. She put the potato stewed chicken and chicken soup on the table in two large pots, and shouted to Xia Mo and Brother Chou who were in class upstairs: "Come on!" time to eat."
Now at the end of summer, he is the best at studying, and he ranks first in every exam, and he has already finished reading Chinese and mathematics in elementary school, and basically mastered all the content, so Lin Ling found a way to be lazy and asked him to give it to him. Little Green and the others teach some simple lessons or exam papers.
Anyway, elementary school students don't have much knowledge in their textbooks, so her lectures are the same as Xia Mo's lectures, and she feels that most of the time she is not as good as Xia Mo's lectures.
Because she has been studying for many years, she feels that some things are just like this for granted, but at the beginning of learning at the end of summer, there will be many problems, and the same is true for Xiaolu and them. At the end of Xia, she will study and explain to Xiaolu and them, but she will explain it better. clearly understand.
After Lin Ling yelled, he heard footsteps at the top of the stairs.
At the end of Xia and Xiaolu, they ran downstairs and surrounded the dining table, looking at the two big pots of chicken, "Wow, so many..."
The starling also pretended to be polite and said, "How can we finish eating so much?"
"Don't think that I don't know that you are staring at my chickens every day. Since you want to eat chickens, you can eat as much as you want today." Lin Ling shared the chickens with everyone. Since there are two chickens today, they will Double the points for everyone.
Xiaolu and starlings looked at the doubled muscles and waved their hands happily: double the happiness.
After Lin Ling divided the chicken, he scooped up two more bowls of soup, one for Xia Mo and one for himself, "This soup is very nutritious, you can drink more."
Before Xia Mo could speak, Myna and Chun Mian rushed to say, "Why didn't we?"
Lin Ling said: "There are old ginseng in this soup for many years. If you drink it, you will get angry and get nosebleeds."
"No." Mynah pushed its bowl to Lin Ling, "Have a bowl."
Lin Ling scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup for Myna and Chun Mian: "Okay, don't blame me if you have a nosebleed tomorrow."
"We definitely won't." Mynah confidently said no at this moment, and when she got up the next day, Lin Ling could hear its frightened cry from the observation deck: "Help...I'm bleeding...I'm going to die It's..."
Chun Mian was also frightened by the blood coming out of her nose: Dad...I'm going to die too...
Xiaolu poked her waist in and laughed uncontrollably: Bald Bird, tell me quickly, where is your hidden wife? I'll let the chicken ancestor eat it for you.
The starling said, "Boss, what should I do? Am I really going to die?"
"Don't make noise." Lin Ling looked out of the wall with a binoculars, and frowned tightly.
