After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

After the land is plowed and leveled, we start sowing.

The first crop to be planted was wheat.

A familiar aunt from the same team told Shen Xiaoxia that the seeds used for sowing were carefully selected by experienced elders in the village.

The seeds selected are those with full grains and no diseases or pests. The defective seeds are removed in advance to ensure the quality and germination rate of the seeds.

Before sowing, the seeds will be placed in the sun to dry for a period of time. This can kill the bacteria on the surface of the seeds and increase the germination rate of the seeds.

Sowing is the core link in wheat planting. In this era, sowing is mainly done by hand.

Shen Xiaoxia followed the main group, dug shallow trenches in the ground with a hoe, and then spread the seeds evenly.

This process requires great care and patience, as the depth and density of seed planting directly affect the growth and yield of crops.

On some fertile lands, they will appropriately increase the sowing density in the hope of increasing yields.

On some relatively poor lands, they will reduce the sowing density to prevent poor wheat growth.

After sowing is completed, the soil must be covered.

Use a hoe or a hoe to lightly cover the seeds with soil. The amount of soil should not be too thick or too thin.

If the soil is too thick, the seeds will have difficulty germinating.

If the covering soil is too thin, the seeds will easily be blown away by the wind or pecked by passing birds.

If no one taught her and Shen Xiaoxia had to figure it out on her own, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to grow it.

Even though she grew up in the countryside, she still didn't know when to sow, when to water, when to fertilize, or how to prevent and control pests and diseases.

After sowing, watering and fertilizing are still required, and this process mainly relies on manpower.

Everyone would fetch water from the river and pour it bucket by bucket into the fields.

Carrying water back and forth over and over again is a challenge to one's strength.

The team leader of Team 3 arranged for some young men to fetch water. Although it was hard work, they did not complain and ran back and forth without complaint.

Everyone knows that only sufficient water can make seeds germinate and grow.

Fertilization is also an important part of the process. At this time, the fertilizers are mainly compost and bean cake.

It was only after listening to someone's explanation that Shen Xiaoxia realized that compost is made by mixing organic waste materials such as crop straw, weeds, and leaves with human and animal feces, and then fermenting and composting them.

Soybean cake is a by-product of soybean oil extraction and is also a high-quality fertilizer.

Everyone spreads these fertilizers evenly on the land to provide nutrients for the growth of crops.

As time went on, the task of growing wheat was gradually completed.

In the fields, the seeds have been planted. They lie quietly in the soil, waiting to be nourished by the sun and rain.

Shen Xiaoxia stood by the field, looking at the results of everyone's hard work, a gratified smile on her face.

Everyone has sown the seeds of hope on this land with their own hands and sweat!

Although it is hard work, it is worth it!

This busy work lasted until early April.

In the first few days of working, Shen Xiaoxia was very uncomfortable. When there was no work to do, she woke up very early every day. Now when she had to go to work every day, it was difficult for her to get up.

In addition to the whistle for work, Shen Xiaoxia also set several alarms for herself.

Fortunately, I adjusted quickly.

I try to eat better every day. I basically don’t cook for myself in the morning. I just get ready-made food from the space.

Eat steamed buns today, dumplings tomorrow, and then steamed buns, steamed buns, eggs, and hand-pulled pancakes in turn.

Fortunately, she had sufficient stock in her space.

The same goes for lunch, either I simply stir-fry a dish and then get something else from the space.

Or you can just eat the ready-made meals in the space.

As for dinner, Shen Xiaoxia has been eating a variety of foods recently. She has consumed some of the snail noodles, hot and sour noodles, and self-heating pot.

Those with stronger smells are eaten by hiding in the space.

When not cooking, just light a fire and boil a pot of water to hide your tracks!

Shen Xiaoxia was extremely grateful for having her own independent little kitchen. She didn't have to live under other people's eyes every day. As long as the door was closed, she didn't have to worry about being discovered no matter what she did.

During this period, Shen Xiaoxia's daily routine, apart from working, was to listen to Zhao Lingling telling all kinds of gossips she heard. In addition to listening to Zhao Lingling, Shen Xiaoxia also heard a lot of gossips from the aunts while working.

After a winter of leisure, many interesting things happened. Shen Xiaoxia and her group rarely left the Youth League Institute, so they were not able to grasp the gossip news in a timely manner.

For example, Aunt Li's family at the end of the village. The head of her family usually has a simple and honest temperament, but his personality changes drastically every time he drinks. The couple often make a fuss at home.

For example, there is a certain family in the village. The mother-in-law has a strong personality and is too harsh on her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law dares not resist, and she has a hard time at home.

For example, which family has a new born boy, and which family has married off their daughter!

When I heard my aunts mention it now, although it is no longer timely, it feels pretty good to listen to it as a daily entertainment.

After the wheat planting was completed, the team leader said we could rest for a day.

One day, when Shen Xiaoxia woke up, she took out the mobile phone under the pillow and looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock.

Open the curtains, and the sunlight shines into the room through the window, bringing a hint of laziness.

There is no need to eat breakfast. Shen Xiaoxia plans to have something good for lunch.

What should I eat?

Shen Xiaoxia took a walk around the space warehouse, but there didn’t seem to be anything she particularly wanted to eat. After another walk around, Shen Xiaoxia decided to have a hot pot, as she hadn’t eaten it for a long time!

After choosing the dishes she wanted to eat, she went directly to the kitchen in the space to wash and prepare the vegetables.

Potatoes, lettuce and other vegetables were cut into slices and placed on the plate, and two heads of lettuce were also washed.

Meatballs are a must for hot pot, and beef balls, fish balls, and shrimp balls are also prepared.

Of course, meat is also indispensable. The tender beef is cut into thin slices with a rosy color and clear texture.

The mutton was also cut into thin slices, alternating between fat and lean.

I also prepared some pork belly.

This time, the hot pot base is still spicy. If you don’t like spicy food when eating hot pot, it feels like the hot pot has lost its soul.

Shen Xiaoxia poured the bright red hot pot base into the pot and added an appropriate amount of water. As the water temperature rose, the base gradually melted and emitted an enticing aroma.

Wait for the water to boil and make a gurgling sound.

Shen Xiaoxia picked up a piece of beef and put it into the hot pot. The beef rolled in the boiling hot pot and changed color instantly. The beef cooked quickly. Shen Xiaoxia took it out and tasted it. It still had that nostalgic taste.

I took out my tablet, found a movie, and watched it while eating.

I watched two movies and haven’t finished my hot pot yet, so I probably won’t have enough room for dinner!
