The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

When they arrived at the field, they carefully picked up the small stones on the ground and pulled out the newly grown weeds.

Shitou held the cloth bag in one hand and a handful of rapeseed in the other, "Sister, I'm sowing it."

Shang Wan nodded and watched Shitou scatter handfuls of vegetable seeds into the ground.

After the vegetable seeds were sown, Shang Wan picked up the hoe and evenly covered the seeds with a thin layer of soil.

She turned around and asked Shitou, "What happens after covering it with soil?"

"Water it." Shitou recalled what Father Liu said, "Just make sure the soil is moist. Too much will spoil the seeds."

Shang Wan felt that the order seemed to be reversed. "Wouldn't the layer of soil on top be washed away once the water hits it? The seeds would also be washed away together."

Shitou had never farmed before, so he scratched his head and said, "How about I go ask Uncle Liu?"

Shang Wan waved his hand, "No, go back and get a ladle, and we'll pour the water gently."

Shitou quickly ran back to get a watering can. After the other figures disappeared from sight, Shang Wan used a branch to draw a half-meter long and half-meter wide square on the ground in front of him, and held down the four corners with stones.

She used the vegetable seeds in the box as a control group.

Shang Wan scooped up a handful of water from the bucket, and with an idea, added a drop of spiritual spring water, then gently sprinkled it on the land within the square.

When Shitou came back, Shang Wan had already watered the soil in the box.

When Shitou saw this, he didn't ask much, just thinking that Shang Wan was just watering the grass for fun because he was bored.

He used a wooden ladle to scoop water and poured it onto the ground. It didn't take much effort to cultivate an acre of land.

Wait until the seedlings grow out and then transplant them to the field next door.

Shang Wan said: "Don't move these four stones. I added something to this small piece of land. As for what it is, I will tell you later."

The words Shi Tou wanted to ask were stuck in his throat.

Looking at the wet vegetable patch, he worriedly asked, "Sister, what if a bird comes to eat our vegetable seeds?"

This is indeed possible. Shang Wan remembered that the base for growing vegetables seemed to require a film on top, but there is no film in this world.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go ask Yuanyuan for help."

Stone:"……"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Shang Wan asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shitou: "Sister, will Yuanyuan attract another group of creatures to bite me?"

He still has a trauma from the time when he was attacked by voles!

Shang Wan said flatly: "No."

Shitou then felt relieved and ran to find Yuanyuan for help.

Shang Wan went for a walk around the village, and when he came back, he had a bunch of juicy cabbages produced in the space in his arms.

"Xiao Huan, use these cabbages to make soup at noon."

"Sister, did you buy them in the village?" Xiaohuan asked in surprise, "We still have a lot of wild vegetables left from the ones we picked yesterday."

"We can eat wild vegetables at night." Shang Wan said, "I want to eat Chinese cabbage. You can cook it into soup or stir-fry it."

When Xiao Huan heard that Shang Wan wanted to eat it, she immediately had no objection, "Why not just make both? I'm going to cook meatballs for Yuan Yuan, so I can chop them up and add them in. Yuan Yuan also likes them."

Speaking of meatballs, Shang Wan asked, "How much meat do we have left at home?"

This meat comes from a series of edible small animals such as wild boar, pheasant, hare, roe deer, snake, etc.

Xiao Huan said, "The wild boar meat is gone, but there is still more than half of the roe deer meat we hunted yesterday, which will last for a few days."

"We'll go into the mountains to get more after we finish eating." Shang Wan said, "We can't store too much and it will go bad easily."

"Okay." Xiaohuan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Sister, why don't you hunt wild boars in the future? Wild boars are not castrated, and they smell too fishy. Every time you cook them, you have to add a lot of ingredients, which is not cost-effective."

Although the spices bought from Yuan's house are cheaper than those bought from a pharmacy, the wild boar smell is too strong and requires more use.

Especially the pig offal, which had to be washed with flour and deodorized with wine. Although the final taste was good and everyone was satisfied with it, it was really a waste after cooking it once, and she felt pain in using it.

"Pork is rich in fat and it satisfies our appetite." Shang Wan glanced at the three masters and apprentices who were working, "If you do hard labor, you can't have less fat in your meals."

Xiaohuan understood this logic, but still couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, don't look so sad. Your brother-in-law and I are the ones who make money." Shang Wan touched her head. "Qiao Yu'an hired your brother-in-law to help with the accounts. He earns four taels of silver a month. After deducting his expenses for writing, there will be one or two taels left. Isn't that enough for you to buy spices?"

"But we have to save money too." Xiaohuan counted on her fingers. "After my brother-in-law recovers from his injury, he has to go to school, which will cost a lot of money. Shitou is already sixteen, and he has to get married in two years, so we have to prepare a betrothal gift. When there are more people, the house will not be big enough for us, so we have to build a new house. In addition to the big expenses, we also need money for clothes and food."

Xiaohuan couldn't sleep whenever she thought about these things.

"You are young, but you have a lot to worry about." Shang Wan felt that Xiao Huan was just like a little housekeeper, and couldn't help teasing her, "You only think about saving up betrothal gifts for Shitou, where is your dowry?"

Xiao Huan blushed and glared at Shang Wan in shame, "Sister!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." Shang Wan bent down and picked up the wooden basin filled with cabbage. "I'll go wash the vegetables, okay?"

Xiaohuan rolled up her sleeves and came over to help, wondering, "Sister, have these vegetables been washed? Why are there no mud on them?"

Shang Wan thought that if it didn't come from the ground, there would be no mud.

"Ah, I rinsed them in the river, and the mud on the roots should be washed off."

As they got closer, Xiaohuan smelled the fragrance coming from the cabbage, which felt different from ordinary cabbage.

She sniffed it carefully and asked curiously, "Sister, whose dish is this? It smells different and quite fragrant."

"Is it fragrant?" Shang Wan didn't notice, "Don't all dishes smell like this?"

Xiao Huan: “…”

Don't question a cook's nose!

She held up the cabbage and brought it close to Shang Wan's nose, "Sister, smell it carefully, it's really different."

Shang Wan sniffed it as he was told, and there was indeed a fragrance, but isn’t that the case with all dishes?

Xiaohuan insisted that it was different. In order to prove her point, she stopped washing the vegetables and pulled Shang Wan to the nearest cabbage field.

She pointed to a small cabbage on the edge of the field and said, "Sister, smell it again."

Shang Wan had no choice but to move closer. To be honest, there really wasn't much of a difference.

But seeing Xiaohuan's serious expression, she nodded and said, "It's indeed different."

Xiaohuan could see that Shang Wan was agreeing with her, and she couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with Shang Wan's nose.

This cabbage field belonged to the Li family. Li Xiaomei and Li Xiaoshan were squatting in the field pulling weeds. Seeing Shang Wan and the other two sniffing at a cabbage, they couldn't help but wonder, "Sister, Sister Xiaohuan, what are you doing?"

Xiao Huan said, "Xiao Shan, I'll buy you some cabbages."

"Why would we need to buy a few vegetables?" Li Xiaoshan laughed, "There are so many in the field, we can't eat them all, just pick as many as you want."

Without waiting for Xiaohuan to make a move, Li Xiaomei swiftly pulled out a dozen fresh and juicy plants, tied them up with the weed stems at hand and handed them to Xiaohuan, "Here."

The little girl is rather shy and speaks in a soft voice, completely different from Li Xiaoshan's loud voice.

Xiao Huan thanked him. Shang Wan turned her wrist and two candies appeared in her palm. She handed them forward and said to Li Xiao Mei with a smile, "You and your brother will each have one."

Li Xiaomei waved her hands repeatedly and refused to accept it.

They are just a few vegetables, how can they be accepted as candy?
