The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary
Chapter 255: One Year, Four Seasons, a Changing World
Throughout the year, Feng Shui rotates, with spring bringing forth new things, summer bringing up growth, autumn bringing harvest, and winter bringing up storage. So there is another saying: if spring ploughing, summer weeding, autumn bringing harvest, and winter storing are all done in time, the five grains will never cease to grow.
In the agricultural era, the focus was on food and agricultural production. After all, everyone knows that if you have food in your hands, you won’t be worried.
The drizzle forms a river, and the grains of rice form a vine.
Store a spoonful of rice a day and you will get a stone of grain in a thousand days.
Food is the people’s first necessity, and frugality in grain production is the top priority.
Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey.
Treasure every grain of rice and enjoy every bite of food.
Don’t underestimate the small grains of rice, they contain so much sweat.
A spring and an autumn of farming turns into grain, and one grain at a time is accumulated into a granary.
Looking at the farming cultures passed down from generation to generation among the people, they are all related to grain without exception, which shows how important grain is.
There are so many preparations for spring ploughing, including turning the soil after it breaks the frost, composting, selecting seeds for breeding, and preparing for clearing the canals, which all require a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Most farmers put their entire families into the fields, and it is common to call their children to plough the fields in the middle of the night.
All the manpower in the village came out to tidy up the fields downstream of the hot spring valley. It took about ten days, and a large amount of fertile farmland and land was leveled. Ditches were built to bring in water to irrigate the paddy fields covering an area of 30 acres. Fifty acres of terraced land were reclaimed at the foot of the mountain, which is several times more than the conservative estimate of more than a dozen acres during visits last year.
"Have you really sorted out so much? That's great! The ditches are all built?" Yiyi was very happy when she heard Xiaojiu come to report the progress to Ling Wuxin. This is the newly added fertile land at the doorstep, and with the blessing of the upstream hot spring, the early rice planting experiment can be put on the agenda!
"Yes, seriously! The guards have measured it themselves. No one thought that so much land could be reclaimed. Little aunt, what do you think we should do?" Xiaojiu had a mysterious admiration for Yiyi. It was she who helped him step by step to his current position. Otherwise, he would probably still be a silly boy who was simply obsessed with farming.
"That's great! First of all, the channel must be built. This is a long-term useful project. Secondly, fruit trees should be planted on the mountainside to protect the slope and consolidate the soil to prevent landslides in the rainy season. Another important point is to bring water into the fields to cultivate the fields, and throw in livestock manure as fertilizer! The most important step is to mark out the land for breeding, no matter what kind of seeds you want to breed! When the time is right, you can transplant them!" The more Yiyi spoke, the brighter Xiaojiu's eyes became.
"Auntie Huang, do you mean that I can use this place as a seedling breeding base?" Xiaojiu confirmed again.
"That's right. I'm sure this place is very suitable for growing seedlings. Just think about it, the seedlings will be much stronger than those grown outside a month or two earlier, whether they are fruit tree seedlings, rice seedlings, or vegetable seedlings!" Yiyi nodded cooperatively.
"Haha, that's great! The palm seeds that I scattered randomly on the ground before, I think they should sprout and start to grow!" Xiaojiu was so happy that he danced with joy.
"Have you ever been poured with hot spring water?" Yiyi asked from her soul.
"Uh, no, but the land doesn't freeze in winter, which means the soil temperature is high, isn't that right?" Xiao Jiu asked for confirmation.
"The temperature is enough, but what about the humidity? The elements for seed germination are that both temperature and humidity must be suitable!" Yiyi explained.
"Ouch! My mistake! I'll call for help right now..." Xiaojiu ran away like crazy. He ran so fast that Yiyi was afraid that he would go crazy and use the water from the high-temperature pool to water the ground!
Will I make such a low-level mistake?
"No! He's not stupid!" Ling Wuxin watched them laughing for a long time and naturally understood Yiyi's doubts.
"That's right. If he was really stupid, I wouldn't teach such a student!" Yiyi felt relieved and turned to study the problems of her own farm.
What fruit trees should she plant? There are peaches, plums, pears, oranges, grapefruits, apples, lemons... There are many mountains, so Yiyi finally chose to plant chestnut trees and kiwis. She wanted to domesticate these two wild fruit trees, and now how to grow seedlings has become a key issue.
"It's all Xiaojiu's fault for running so fast. I still have the task of growing fruit seedlings for him to do!" Yiyi muttered softly.
"Take your time. Growing fruit seedlings can't be done overnight!" Ling Wuxin raised his head to take a look at her condition. Not bad, he buried his head in his pile of documents again.
"Ahhhaha~ Little Auntie, I just dug up the soil and found that they have sprouted underneath the soil, but they haven't broken through the soil yet." Xiaojiu ran into the yard while screaming.
"Ah? Xiaojiu is so lucky!" Yiyi was also very happy when she heard that.
"I decided to continue the experiment tonight, germinate the rice, and then spread it in the leveled field. I will transplant it when it grows big enough." Xiaojiu was in high spirits and seemed ready to do it.
"The experiment requires recording the experimental data truthfully. Make a horizontal comparison, one using hot spring water and the other using ordinary water, and then make a vertical comparison!" Yiyi suggested.
"Got it! I'll be busy then!" Xiaojiu ran out like a gust of wind again!
"Well, youth is our capital!" Xiaojiu sighed, leaning on his stomach. He came and went like a gust of wind.
"My wife is also young!" Ling Wuxin said with a smile in his eyes.
"But I can't run." Yiyi retorted.
"Don't worry, there will be a few little ones chasing you in the future!" Ling Wuxin described to Yiyi the scene of a child chasing his mother.
"Well, that will take another two or three years!" Yiyi also laughed when she heard that. One has to wait until he is two or three years old to be able to run and jump.
"Well, so don't worry, letting nature take its course is the best outcome." Ling Wuxin cast a loving look at her, which made Yiyi feel so sweet in her heart. How could she have any worries at all!
