Traveling through 1942 with space

"I haven't farmed for many years, but it seems that I have not lost this skill and have not brought shame to my identity as a farmer's son." Looking at the wheat field that he had reclaimed and planted, Hou Xiaoge's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

While his body was lying on the small slope to rest, Hou Xiaoge's mental power was not idle either, and he began to explore the entire planting space.

Now the entire planting space covers an area of one acre of land, and only a little more than two mu of land is being used, with the remaining seven mu of land being vacant.

However, at a growth rate twenty times that of crops, these fields will be full of crops in a week at most.

Thinking that he would be able to harvest every five to seven days in the future, Hou Xiaoge was full of excitement at first.

In the end, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Harvesting every five to seven days meant that I had to plant the land every five to seven days. Wouldn't that mean I was like a beast of burden?

Hou Xiaoge is only a nine-year-old child now. If he continues to work so hard, he will be exhausted to death.

Hou Xiaoge shuddered at the thought of his hard life as a slave working on the farm every day. He shivered with fear.

"I was a cow and a horse in my previous life, and I am still a cow and a horse in this life. Then I have traveled through time in vain!" Hou Xiaoge decisively gave up the idea of farming forever.

Hou Xiaoge's mental power came to the mouse's nest. Looking at the farmed mice that ate and slept, and slept and ate, Hou Xiaoge suddenly stood up.

"Damn it, I've only been through this journey for one day and I've already forgotten the taste of meat. All I can think about is eating this dog coin mouse.

How can a decent person eat rat meat? Whoever wants to eat it can eat it, but I won't eat it anyway.

I want to do breeding, raise big fat pigs and eat beef and mutton." Hou Xiaoge imagined the scene of the fat pigs in the pen, and his saliva could not help but flow out.

Hou Xiaoge got to work right away. He took a small hoe and started to measure on the ground, calculating the breeding area, breeding density and feed supply.

Although the growth rate of breeding in the planting space is not twenty times as fast as that of growing crops, it still takes twice as long as outside.

Other people raise pigs and feed them with bran and vegetables. A 200-pound black pig takes at least eight months to a year to be slaughtered.

On our side, because of the two-fold time difference, and the fact that we have enough fine grains like wheat and corn, a 200-pound fat pig can be slaughtered in three or four months at most.

Based on the calculation of eating and selling, at least one or two pigs must be slaughtered per month. Taking into account the pregnant sows, at least twenty pigs are needed to ensure a continuous supply.

In addition, as he would also like to raise other livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep in the future, Hou Xiaoge directly planned a huge area of four mu for the breeding area.

[Here is a talk about the conversion ratio of land. One mu of land is equal to ten fen of field. The area of one fen of field may not seem much, but when converted into square area, it is quite large.

One mu of land is calculated as 66 square meters, and four mu of breeding area is 264 square meters.

Two hundred and sixty-four square meters may not seem large if converted into a house.

But if we compare it with rural residential land, it will be clear at a glance. The area of the residential land is calculated based on a width of nine meters and a length of thirty meters, which is equal to two hundred and seventy square meters.

Think about it again, it is several dozen meters long and wide, so 264 square meters is not very big. 】

Raising twenty pigs requires a maximum area of fifty square meters, and the remaining two hundred square meters is enough to raise other livestock.

After calculating the breeding area, Hou Xiaoge had to leave a rest area for himself. Finally, he looked at the two-meter-high small earth slope in front of him.

Hou Xiaoge decided to reserve the small earthen slope and the land below it, about 66 square meters, as an area for rest and planting precious trees.

In this way, one acre of land was divided into three parts, five acre of land was used for planting, four acre of land was used for planting, and one acre of land was used for living and planting precious trees.

Half of the land is not planted, which seems to be a waste, but Hou Xiaoge's short-term goal is to have enough food and accumulate initial capital, so there is no need to worry about it so much.

After all, the planting space is a tool to help you "grow" quickly, not a pseudo-capitalist who exploits you like a slave.

With a movement of mental power, the power of space wrapped the bricks and wood in the space warehouse and fell into the spiritual field, suddenly piling up into a small hill.

Seeing the building materials in front of him, Hou Xiaoge suddenly remembered that the silver and money under the landlord's door sill had not been dug out. No wonder he always felt like he had forgotten something tonight.

"Forget it, it's just one or two taels of silver and a few dollars. I'll dig it someday when I have time!" Hou Xiaoge shook his head and put the matter behind him, and began to plan how to build the breeding area.

Hou Xiaoge was at a loss for a moment when looking at the building materials in front of him. Building a breeding area is a huge project!

Thinking of this, Hou Xiaoge looked at his own arms and legs again. His small body had just recovered a little, but he had to do such a big project. He must be exhausted.

"If you want to be respected in public, you must suffer in private. Rome was not built in a day. But if you keep on wearing away the stone, you will succeed.

Come on, Oli, come on!" Hou Xiaoge looked at the unsightly little hoe in his hand and encouraged himself.

After collecting the construction materials, Hou Xiaoge began to mark the lines and dig the foundation.

"Whoever wants to be a cow or a horse can do it. I won't dig it anymore. Just destroy it!"

It took more than three hours to dig two meters of foundation. Hou Xiaoge was so tired that he threw away the hoe and lay down on the ground with his arms and legs spread out.

After taking a break for a while, Hou Xiaoge decided to take a rest first.

When he arrived at the spiritual spring, he first drank a bowl of water to relieve his fatigue, then scooped a wooden basin of water with a wooden bowl and started to wash.

After a while, Hou Xiaoge rubbed out a number of marble-sized eye balls.

"Fuck! I, Hou Xiaoge, am simply the second-generation disciple of Living Buddha Jigong! The pills I make are as big as those of Living Buddha. I just don't know what would happen if other people eat this stuff." Hou Xiaoge said with a smirk on his face.

After all the talk and fuss, Hou Xiaoge finally threw the marble-sized black balls in his hand into the ground as fertilizer with a look of disgust on his face.

After wasting four or five basins of water, Hou Xiaoge finally felt relieved. Not to mention, after taking a bath, Hou Xiaoge felt several pounds lighter.

After taking a shower, Hou Xiaoge felt sleepy. He didn't mind the dirty floor and just lay down and fell asleep.

Hou Xiaoge slept until he woke up naturally, opened his eyes, and probed his mental power through the ring. He found that it was still dark outside. However, judging from the angle of the moon, it should be two or three in the morning, and it was still early before dawn!

"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of this just now? If I sleep in the space often, my life span will be half that of others." Hou Xiaoge was a little dumbfounded.

“Forget it. It’s better to grow up quickly these days. Otherwise, an eight-year-old kid is not even as tall as a carriage wheel, and it will be inconvenient to do anything.” Hou Xiaoge looked at his own little arms and legs and gave up the idea of a long life.

After getting up and washing his face, Hou Xiaoge took out two taels of wheat, cut a pound of wild vegetables from the field, and then started cooking.

In just about half an hour, the fragrant wild vegetable porridge was ready. Hou Xiaoge took out a pinch of salt from the space warehouse and sprinkled it in.

People cannot live without salt. This bit of salt was secretly taken by Hou Xiaoge from the place where Second Aunt stored salt yesterday. It’s not much, just enough for one or two meals.

After all, Second Aunt didn't have much, only about three taels at most. If you took more, it would be easy to be discovered.

Maybe it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, the soft and glutinous wheat kernel and wild vegetable porridge tasted very sweet. Hou Xiaoge ate two large bowls in a row before he was barely full.

Taking a look at the earthenware jar, Hou Xiaoge saw that there was still about a small bowl of food left in it, so he prepared to leave it for his younger brother as breakfast.

"It's time to get to work!"

After eating and drinking, Hou Xiaoge started his day of hard work, digging the foundation with his butt sticking up.
