Chapter 153 Digging a Well
mid-April.

Xiao Ze returned to the jungle.

The cabin was covered with dust.

There are good and bad cured meats in clay pots.

The air-dried meat was kept intact.

He spent the day cleaning.

This is the season for animals to reproduce and mate.

Pheasants also lay unfertilized eggs like domestic chickens. Unfertilized eggs generally taste better than fertilized eggs. After all, there is no life to absorb nutrients and are easy to digest, but fertilized eggs are also good.

Xiao Ze intends to dig out some wild eggs to see if he can hatch young pheasants for breeding. Pheasants can fly, but if they are raised from a young age, they will beat the gong every time they are fed, even if the grown pheasants fly out to find bugs to eat. When the sound of the gong will come back by itself, the flying ability will basically degenerate after a few more generations.

Therefore, Xiao Ze doesn't need to spend a lot of time building an airtight chicken farm. Besides, pheasants are very adaptable, and it's fine if they can't be fed to death.

In the future, whether it is to make things with pheasant feathers, or to eat eggs and chicken, it will be perfect.

Xiao Ze has made up his mind to raise chickens first.

Many times, he was particularly envious of the protagonists in the novels who were living on a deserted island and still awakened the system.

They don't need to know the principles, don't need hands, the system can bring them everything, and they only need to pay a tiny price to complete their goals.

Xiao Ze was as tired as a dog.

But there is an old saying that goes well.

There will be no pies in the sky for no reason.

The system is generally a standard configuration for diaosi. Diaosi is unscrupulous in the cool world created by the author. If a system falls on Xiao Ze's head for no reason, he will never choose to accept the system unless he has nothing.

System mandatory binding is another story.

But yes.

Diaosi has nothing at all.

So what if the system has a conspiracy?
It's just what you want.

Even if you have nothing in the end.

It was worth it if the diaosi counterattacked.

Xiao Ze sneered, shook his head, picked up the shovel and pickaxe and dug a hole in the yard. The whole island has abundant groundwater resources, so there is no need to worry that the groundwater level is too high to dig out water.

But Xiao Ze could only accept a depth of five meters at most, and he didn't dare to dig any further, and he couldn't dig any further. If the well collapsed, he would surely die below.

Anyway, Xiao Ze has inexhaustible energy, if there is really no water to be dug out in the yard, fill it up and change the place.

After Xiao Ze dug about 1.5 meters, he had to use iron drills to loosen the soil and continue digging. When the height of the well exceeded his height, Jiang Qianyu and Shen Luoning needed to use iron buckets to drag the clods he had chopped up and dump.

In order to prevent landslides, he nailed a circle of wood on the wall of the well. If water came out, he could still climb up by stepping on the wood without a ladder.

When the well is dug to about four meters.

Xiao Ze suddenly discovered that the color of the soil was not right.

"Qianyu, quickly give me the pointed drill."

Xiao Ze raised his head and shouted, Jiang Qianyu quickly found the drill in his mouth and handed it to him.

"It's up to you whether you can get out of the water."

Xiao Ze looked at the thick and long pointed drill in his hand and murmured, then thrust hard into the ground, the thrust was more than ten centimeters, and the ground water submerged his ankle almost instantly while the tiger's mouth was numb.

"Wow!" Shen Luoning exclaimed at the mouth of the well.

After all, it is a shallow well, and the water pressure is not very high.

Xiao Ze easily climbed out of the well, quietly watched the groundwater rush to a position [-] centimeters away from the mouth of the well, wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled.

There is no shortage of water for planting crops.

Xiao Ze spent a whole day digging the well, lying on the bed, he felt that his muscles were sore due to the continuous exertion.

April [-]th.

Xiao Ze has no experience in growing crops.

But when he was a child, when he went back to the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall in Xiao Family Village to pay homage to the ancestors' spirit tablets, he saw many Xiao Family villagers who were rich but did not want to leave Xiao Family Village and still enjoyed farming for self-sufficiency planting crops. You will also see some videos and materials.

Growing crops is always a matter of experimentation.

Didn’t the ancients also come to the present step by step?

It is enough for Xiao Ze to have basic theoretical knowledge.

He had already surrounded a lot of fenced land beside the wooden house before, and the surrounding hundreds of square meters were considered yards.

Xiao Ze planned to plant crops in the yard.

If wheat and rice are found in the plains in the future, he plans to return the forest to farming. Wild rice is definitely more common than wild wheat, and he does not plan to grow wheat anymore if there is rice.

After Xiao Ze successfully plowed the soil in the yard with tools such as shovel, iron rake, and hoe, he first chose to plant garlic. The only advantage of growing crops on this island is that he does not need to choose time.

After all, the climate is pretty much the same from March to November, so Xiao Ze can plant whenever he wants.

Just wait until winter to store next year's seeds.

Wild crops are extremely resilient.

Therefore, Xiao Ze didn't need to deliberately cover the mulch during the germination period and the cold winter months.

He doesn't care even if he freezes to death.

Anyway, he is not used for planting and selling.

Xiao Ze chose a batch of high-quality plump garlic cloves, and buried them in the soil at intervals of a certain distance, covering about two to three centimeters of soil.

The growth cycle of garlic sown at this time is about three months. If it is garlic sown in autumn, the growth cycle will take more than half a year.

But Xiao Ze couldn't wait that long.

So he just wants to be a salted fish in winter.

When animals sow in spring, he sows.

Is it bad?
What Xiao Ze actually thought in his heart was.
If my level is high, I must plant a large number of crops that can survive the winter!

The problem is that he is not good enough.

It was a waste of effort to freeze to death.

So save it.

Xiao Ze still fenced off the garlic field to avoid confusion, and the garlic field took up one-fifth of the entire cultivated land in the yard.

The reason why he planted so many.

It's all because the garlic is really fragrant.

Even if you can't finish eating pickled garlic!
In particular, garlic does not like water and is easy to feed.

What's more, it rains from time to time on the island.

Just don't ruin his seedlings.

Even Xiao Ze felt that digging a well was unnecessary.

But it was more light rain than torrential rain.

The sun in the sky is also quite poisonous in spring, summer and autumn.

If it doesn't rain.

Xiao Ze also had to water every two to three days.

I have to say is.

Garlic's life is really tragic.

You can eat garlic sprouts when they are born.

The garlic seedlings will continue to grow after taking off a part.

If you don’t want to eat garlic sprouts, you can wait until the garlic grows, heads and blooms, and the flower stems grow into garlic sprouts before eating.

If you don't want to eat garlic sprouts.
Wait until the garlic shoots bloom to eat the buds.

The garlic cultivated artificially for a long time basically has no seeds when the garlic sprouts bloom, but the wild garlic grown in Xiaoze should be able to reproduce naturally in the first few generations.

However, if the garlic sprouts are not pulled out, they will compete with the garlic for nutrients under normal circumstances, resulting in the garlic not being full enough.

Xiao Ze would not do things that are not worth the loss.

He won't give up garlic for garlic scape flowers.
