Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

After a busy day today, everyone was very tired. After returning to the yard, Zheng Sisi went to check the rice seeds again. Some of the rice seeds had already sprouted small white buds. She turned them over with her hands and found them a little hot.

Zheng Sisi asked Zheng Zhiyuan and others to bring water and soak the rice seeds in cold water for a while. She was afraid that the temperature was too high and would burn the rice seeds.

After the meal, they returned to their room early to rest.

Now only the rice has not been planted. Zheng Sisi plans to go to the bamboo forest tomorrow to take a look. Bamboo is the best material for supporting the rice trellis. The rice seeds germinate quickly, so they can be planted in a couple of days.

The next day, Zheng Sisi and the third prince brought a large group of people up the mountain. People like Zhong Ruiyu and Zheng Zhiyuan were just there to join in the fun.

Farmers who were familiar with the road conditions walked in front to lead the way, heading towards the bamboo forest with ease.

In spring, the earth wakes up from its slumber and everything comes alive. Green buds sprout out of the soil, and wild flowers and grasses thrive under the sunshine and rain.

Along the way, Zheng Sisi saw some familiar wild vegetables, ground vegetables, houttuynia, wild wormwood...

There were several Chinese toon trees on the roadside that already had tender buds of four or five inches. Zheng Sisi swallowed her saliva, thinking about going back to pick them so she could make fried eggs with Chinese toon or eat them cold. Just thinking about it made her drool again.

After walking for half an hour, we turned a corner and saw bamboos all over the hillside. The farmers said that this was a bamboo forest, stretching across several valleys.

Zheng Sisi told them that as long as it was old bamboo, it would be fine, and they needed to cut down a dozen or so, and also take some bamboo branches back. After hearing this, the farmers went to the bamboo forest separately to select bamboo.

Zheng Sisi looked around and saw that the bamboo forest was very lush and rarely cut down. She didn't know if all the bamboo had been cut down or if only this area hadn't been cut down. If the bamboo forest was too dense, the bamboo wouldn't grow well. This large area could be used.

The third prince came over and asked, "Where are the bamboo shoots you mentioned? Let's dig some up and take them back."

Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu also came over: "Yes, we can stir-fry bamboo shoots today."

Zheng Sisi looked at the two of them and always felt that they were on the road of food and could not be pulled back.

She said, "The bamboo shoots should be unearthed now. Look for them. They have a black shell and are pointed, with a few leaves on it."

Several people also dispersed to search.

Zheng Sisi took a few steps and saw it, "There is one here."

When several people heard the sound, they all gathered around again: "Where is it?" Zhong Ruiyu asked.

Zheng Sisi wore a short coat when she went up the mountain today, which looked very neat. She tapped the ground with her toes, and several people lowered their heads and looked closer.

Zheng Zhiyuan: “So big?”

Zheng Sisi: "This is the tenderest. When bamboo shoots grow up, they become old and not tasty. You can go find some that have grown a little bit. Who will dig this one?"

Zheng Zhiyuan said: "I'll dig it."

Zheng Sisi: "You have to dig bamboo shoots from the edge, not too close, or they will rot and become inedible."

Zheng Zhiyuan took the hoe and pointed at several places before starting to dig. After hollowing out the surroundings, he dug out the soil around the bamboo shoots. It took him a long time to dig it out. It was not very big, but it was complete.

The few of them walked a little further up the slope. Perhaps the soil here was better, and there were many spring bamboo shoots growing. Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were digging, and Zheng Sisi was cheering them on.

In a short while, he dug more than twenty of them, filling the two backpacks he brought. It was a good harvest.

Zheng Sisi said: "Generally, there should be bamboo rats in a bamboo forest this big. Why don't we go look for them?"

The three of them were very excited after hearing this, as they hadn't eaten game for a long time since the beginning of winter.

Zheng Sisi suggested looking for caves nearby where there were any animals. Finding one would make it easier to find the second and third caves. Usually the caves are connected, so once they are found, they can use smoke to catch the animals.

Several people were in high spirits, bending over with sticks and digging around.
