Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy
Chapter 75: Autumn Vegetable Planting
After Lu Chuan finished drinking the water, the two of them left the teahouse and started walking back. It was not until they got on the boat that Xu Han asked:
"How's it going? Is it going well?"
"I pawned it for a total of 160 taels of silver. At the beginning, the pawnshop owner was quite harsh in lowering the price..." Lu Chuan told Xu Han about the process of pawning his items in the pawnshop while handing the silver to Xu Han.
Xu Han took the silver, put it into the space, and said, "This pawnshop owner is too black-hearted! It's just as I thought. Sure enough, the mirror is more expensive than the cup."
Xu Han thought that after all, she was ripped off at the scenic spot. Compared with the cup, she spent a lot of money on it, so the workmanship should be acceptable.
The two chatted as they walked, and when they reached home, it was already late and almost dark.
Today I bought fruits and pawned things in the county town, which really took quite a while.
As soon as the gate was opened, the puppies rushed over, jumping and barking, and the yard became lively in an instant.
Xu Han took off the glutinous rice balls on her body, turned around and came to the food bowl, took out the food that had been prepared for the dogs in the space in advance, and gave them some food to comfort them.
Then I started to clean up the messy yard. I didn't cook dinner for today. I packed some food when I was in the county town, so I can eat it directly.
After finishing everything, Xu Han went to the backyard and helped Lu Chuan water the cucumbers and vegetables while it was not too dark yet.
It hasn't rained for several days, and the weather is very sunny now, so watering the plants every day is a hassle.
There is no way, we can't just rely on luck for our livelihood! Human efforts are also very important.
You only need to water it once every few days, and on a daily basis you only need to water some water-loving vegetables.
After watering everything, it was already dark. They had dinner and went to rest!
On the second day, Lu Chuan resumed his daily hunting life, and Xu Han took care of the housework at home, tidying up the vegetable garden and planting autumn vegetables.
I first went to the kitchen to have today's breakfast, a salted duck egg with rice porridge, which was also delicious.
After eating, she goes to the backyard to pick vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks. Now is the season when peppers grow wildly. Xu Han grows many varieties of peppers and can harvest a lot of peppers every two or three days.
There are green peppers, and some are left to grow into red peppers. These red peppers can be added to dishes as a side dish. The color will be better and make people more appetizing.
I also picked some tender peppers to make pickles. I cut the peppers into thin strips, then added salt, light soy sauce, MSG, and sesame oil and marinated them for an afternoon. They are also great as pickles.
Especially when you feel tired of eating meat, eating a bite of tender chili can help you relieve the greasiness.
After picking all the peppers for today, I started picking cucumbers and beans, which are almost withering.
Fortunately, when there was some vacant land some time ago, Xu Han planted some late cucumbers and beans, which are now starting to bear fruit.
After picking all of these today, I will clear out this area that is almost withered and leave it for later to plant other vegetables.
Around the beginning of autumn, Xu Han cut off the branches of the eggplants, and now they have sprouted again, and it is the season for eggplants.
After the eggplant bears fruit, the branches will age and no longer bear fruit. If you pull them out and replant them, the growth will be very slow. It is better to directly prune the branches and let new branches sprout from the main trunk, which can save a lot of time.
However, you must apply fertilizer in time after pruning, otherwise it will not grow well.
In the next two days, Xu Han needs to plant the cabbage seedlings that she had grown some time ago, as well as the spicy radishes and carrots. The task is still very arduous.
There are not many vegetable plots in the backyard, and not enough to grow many cabbages and radishes. Fortunately, when Xu Han has time, she will cultivate some of the land herself, and when Lu Chuan has time, he will also help. Together, the two of them have opened up nearly two acres of land.
Open it a little bit every day when you have time, it doesn't take much effort.
After finishing everything, Xu Han took a hoe and went outside to dig ditches and plant radishes.
Plant more spicy radishes and use them to pickle them, which is also delicious.
Throw chili radish seeds directly into the dug furrows. You can throw a few more seeds when planting to ensure the survival rate. You can thin out the seedlings after they survive.
Before she knew it, it was already noon. Xu Han returned home, had lunch, and took a short nap. Although it was already mid-August, the sun was still very strong at noon and she could not stand it at all.
At about 2:30, Xu Han got up and went outside to continue planting radishes.
When the sun was not so strong, Xu Han returned home, dug up the cabbage seedlings, and started planting them.
Cabbage seedlings must be planted in the afternoon. If they are planted in the morning or at noon, the sun will be too strong and the newly dug cabbage seedlings will have no roots to absorb water and will easily be sunburned to death.
When planting cabbage seedlings, you need to dig a hole first, put about three seedlings in, cover them with soil, and finally water them to help them take root.
You can also plant a few more cabbage seedlings, and then you can pick the best ones and grow some small cabbages to eat!
When Lu Chuan came back from hunting, Xu Han had not finished planting. Lu Chuan saw Xu Han planting cabbage and immediately came over to help.
The two of them worked together until dark before getting up and going home.
After eating the food in the space, I sat in the yard to rest.
After being in this world for such a long time, Xu Han has become accustomed to the heavy labor every day, and his strength has increased a lot. Of course, he also eats a lot more.
All along, it seemed like the two of them had never had a good rest and had always been working hard to stockpile goods.
If you say I work hard, I will work very hard. If you say I don’t work hard, I will also take a proper rest.
Generally, after doing heavy work during the day, the two of them would no longer organize the things in the space at night. After all, human energy is limited.
You can’t say that you are neglecting your own health just to stock up!
After resting, Xu Han took a nice hot bath and then went back to her room to rest.
The next day, Xu Han continued to grow cabbage and radishes.
The workload for two acres of land is not small. I have to dig ditches, plant seeds, and water them. It does take some time for me to finish the work.
I continued to plant radishes and carrots in the morning. After I finished planting them all, there were still some seeds left.
Xu Han planted radishes in every corner of the wasteland where seeds could be planted.
Xu Han planted radishes in all the vacant space nearby. It didn't matter if the radishes didn't grow well, as long as they produced some fruits, which could be used to dry and pickle radishes.
When it was lunchtime, Xu Han went home to eat and sleep. She got up around three o'clock, and when she finished transplanting all the remaining cabbage seedlings, Lu Chuan also came back.
