Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.
Chapter 242 Expanding the Fish Pond
I haven't opened the PC board above in the past few days. I use grow lights to fill the light. This is not only to test the effect of the grow lights, but also to determine the power consumption.
After several days of experiments, the two plants underground are growing very well. They have avoided the hot sunshine and seem to be more energetic than when they were on the ground.
Zhao Yeqing picked off a strawberry that had just turned red and stuffed it into his mouth. "It turned red faster than it was on top. I think I can move it down directly."
After two days of experiments, the load-bearing capacity of the upper PC board was no problem. The two of them were afraid that they would accidentally step on it, so they specially surrounded it and took a few dogs to make sure that they were not allowed to step on it before they felt relieved.
But neither Guohuo nor Xuebing have come back recently, and they are afraid that if they come back one day and jump on it, the two leopards must weigh about sixty pounds now, and I don't know if this board can withstand it.
In the evening, the two moved the tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, watermelons, newly planted pumpkins, and climbing loofahs and cucumbers underground.
After dividing the area, a small area of land is left for sowing green leafy vegetables.
The two planted green onions, garlic sprouts, perilla and other spice vegetables around various vegetables, which not only saves space, but also has the effect of repelling insects.
Zhao Yeqing turned on the plant light above his head. The large 50W bulb could illuminate all the plants within fifteen square meters, and the entire basement was illuminated brightly.
Now the only thing left most outside is sweet potatoes.
It was already time to harvest the sweet potatoes, but the two of them were so busy that they never paid attention to it.
The only time to work is in the morning and evening, when it's daybreak but the sun hasn't come out, and when the sun has gone down and there's still light.
The two got up early and quickly collected the sweet potatoes from the field.
The number of sweet potatoes this year is not large, but they are quite big.
There are two types of potatoes planted, purple potatoes and sweet potatoes. There are not many purple potato varieties. It can be seen that the villagers at the foot of the mountain still prefer the high-yielding sweet potatoes.
Before the sun came up, the two successfully pulled out all the sweet potatoes, removed the upper stems and leaves in the ground, and moved the sweet potato fruits to the cellar.
If it is picked fresh, it must be cooked and eaten as soon as it is hot.
Summer is not suitable for roasting sweet potatoes, so Mu Xi cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and made sugar water, adding ice cubes to it, and bribed Zhao Yeqing to make him a meal of carroted sweet potatoes.
When Zhao Yeqing made it before, he was eager to learn, but the last time he made it with yam, he found that it was not as delicious as the one made by Zhao Yeqing.
Zhao Yeqing took this opportunity to sit on the rocking chair and enjoy the scene as Mu Xi scooped up the sugar water with a spoon and brought it to her mouth.
After finishing the bowl slowly and leisurely, he squeaked and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll make it for you tonight."
Mu Xi knew that she was just acting for fun, so he cooperated and cupped his hands, imitating the tone of the cross talk she often listened to when working, and said, "Thank you then."
The two of them lived a very interesting life.
When Zhao Yeqing was cooking at night, Mu Xi was fanning next to him. It was not easy to bring in the air-conditioning fan. The kitchen was used for cooking, and the dust was relatively large. The air-conditioning fan sucked air first and then blew it. Bring it in and use the right machine. not good.
I don't feel bad about the old-fashioned fan, but the wind is too strong, and the smallest setting is quite large. When not cooking, it's okay to blow to the side. When cooking, the fire is lit, and the air in the kitchen moves, and the wind can easily blow the fire. If it goes astray, the ashes from the fire pit below will also rise up.
Manual fanning is the most suitable, and the air supply angle is precise. Recently, I can't go out to work during the day. The two of them only work in the morning and evening. It is not tiring to rest for the whole day. Mu Xi is happy to fan Zhao Yeqing, and it also comes with a sweat wiping service. .
The two of them worked together to finish the other meals, and only when it came to the last dish of shredded sweet potatoes, Zhao Yeqing did it alone.
Once the last dish is on the table, the meal is ready.
In addition to the shredded sweet potatoes that Mu Xi named, he also used the leftover fried bean dregs balls to fry sweet potato balls and sweet potato fries, as well as a dish of steamed fish and boiled green vegetables.
There are more and more fish in the fish pond. I didn't realize it at first, but now the small fish hatched by the fish that spawned in the spring have grown up a lot, filling the entire pond.
The two of them were discussing while eating,
"Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, fish ponds must not only be expanded but also deepened, so as to keep the water temperature inside low enough."
After all, the fish are all brought back from cold water lakes. Although carp and grass carp are relatively adaptable, the current temperature is too high and will get higher and higher. There is no way to ensure that the temperature of running water is low enough. If it is not for the upper grape trellis, it is estimated that the water temperature has already exceeded the standard.
If you can't do any work during the day, you have to work in the morning and evening.
The light was not good at night, so the two of them had no choice but to turn on the lights. They found enough power strips and connected a few more to the ground outside the yard to turn on the lights.
The two of them drew an area next to the fish pond that was about the same size as the previous fish pond. They planned to dig out this area first and then drain out the fish and water.
Then deepen the original fish pond, and finally open up the two sides, and it's done.
It would definitely be impossible to finish in one day, so I had to wait until the second night to dig the new fish pond. On the third day, I spent the whole day in the sun to sterilize it, and only started to deal with the other side in the evening.
After the two drained the water into the new fish pond that had been dried, they quickly went down to the fish pond to catch fish. They threw all the small and big fish inside, blocked the hole, and then began to deepen the fish pond.
"It's a pity that the ecosystem that was already formed in this fish pond is gone."
Zhao Yeqing dug out all the soil from the bottom of the drained fish pond and packed it. After digging, he poured the soil into the other side of the fish pond.
The soil at the bottom was already covered with moss and water plants, so it would be a pity to throw it away.
After the original fish pond was deepened, it had to be dried for a day the next day.
The two went to the lake early in the morning, planning to get some water plants and moss-covered stones to throw into the fish pond.
They haven't been here for a long time. After the water rose in the last rainy season, this place became different from before.
The originally small number of aquatic plants on the shore suddenly increased, and animals such as wild ducks and geese that could still be seen in the lake last year disappeared. Zhao Yeqing looked at so many shore plants and wanted to touch whether there were any wild duck eggs.
But not only were there no eggs, there were no traces of wild ducks.
Mu Xi also discovered that there were fewer animal footprints on the waterfront this year.
Both of them were puzzled. Logically speaking, after the reduction of human activities here, there should be more and more animals.
In the past, because this area was within the scope of human activities, the animals' territory would gradually retreat to the uninhabited mountains. Now, it has been two years since there were no humans on the meadow except for the two of them. It was time for the originally migrating animals to come back.
Although the weather is hot, it is not so hot that all the animals have disappeared.
