Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Except for broad beans, both of them already have experience in planting other large-scale crops. For small-scale planting of seed crops, just follow the conventional method. Broad beans require some effort.

I remember that in the past, broad beans were planted in the village in autumn. Nowadays, the weather is not much different throughout the year. Now that the land has been sorted out, we might as well plant them together.

This broad bean is also a deep-rooted crop. Generally, this kind of crop likes water and is afraid of waterlogging. The spring rain has stopped these days and it has been sunny, so there is no need to worry about the broad bean getting sick.

After spreading lime before, they spread manure and retting the soil. The two of them spread lime every year before sowing. They spread lime in spring and stop spreading it in autumn to prevent the soil from being too alkaline and not conducive to plant growth.

The two of them couldn't eat too many broad beans, so they left a few ridges of land next to several other beans and planted broad bean seeds in the soil.

Broad bean seeds are quite special, each one is about the size of a finger and cannot be put into the homemade seeder. I have to go down to the ground and bend down to sow seeds manually. However, it is only a few ridges of land, and the seeds are planted in half an hour.

After everything they wanted to grow was planted in the ground, the two began researching equipment plans for their home.

In addition to updating the manure fermentation equipment, Mu Xi is also thinking about whether he can move other agricultural equipment in the village back.

One of the reasons why I didn't move back before was that it was too heavy, and the equipment either burned diesel or burned electricity. My family couldn't afford these two resources before, but things are different now.

In addition to the harvester brought back some time ago, there is also the small tractor that Mu Xi wants to move back most.

Zhao Yeqing was speechless after hearing this. If the ordinary equipment was slightly heavier, he could find a way to drag it back if he really wanted to.

But no matter how you move the tractor, it can't be driven back and forth, and it can't be towed.

Mu Xi also knew that it was too difficult. After saying the word "tractor", his tone couldn't help but weaken: "Ahem...that's what I said, but the small three-wheeler in the tourist area can be pulled back. Now that the family can afford to keep it, it can be brought back to help transport things."

That's okay. This time the family used up the ramie fiber they had hoarded by making hemp rope. It was also convenient to drive a tricycle outside the pine forest to cut some ramie and come back.

There is also manure processing equipment. Zhao Yeqing’s idea is to build a long shed in the corner of the original composting wall, similar to a greenhouse for growing things, and use the high temperature in the closed greenhouse to quickly ferment the manure.

The plastic film cloth required to build the fermentation greenhouse is also reused. Nowadays, the greenhouse in the courtyard hardly uses plastic film cloth, so the previous piece can be transferred to the fermentation greenhouse without causing waste.

The fermentation greenhouse can also better protect the manure from becoming moldy after being soaked by rain. It is much better than the previous method of directly covering the manure pile with plastic sheeting.

The sweet potatoes from the vegetable garden outside have also been harvested. Now that the land is empty, I don’t know whether to continue planting sweet potatoes.

Judging from the demand for pig food at home, it is necessary. Pigs can be full if fed with some soup and water, but they can also grow meat faster by feeding more real pigs.

Now that cattle and sheep go out to graze during the day, the main force of manure has become the pigs at home. Compared with cattle and sheep, pig manure is more difficult to ferment, and fermentation greenhouses are the second choice...

It would be better if there is a biogas pool.

Hay straw, feces, kitchen waste, etc. can be poured into the biogas digester to ferment butane. All insect eggs and germs will be killed and become smoke-free and dust-free clean fuel. Boiling water for bathing will also become more convenient. convenient.

It's just that it's not difficult to build a biogas digester, but it is very troublesome to make a pipeline that can transport biogas. In addition to the pipeline, there must be valves, which at least can be closed and opened.

The two of them have not yet thought of a way to solve this problem, and the biogas digester plan can only be shelved.

But I just mentioned boiling water for bathing...

Zhao Yeqing raised his head and looked at Mu Xi: "It seems that we can finally achieve freedom of water."

There is only one faucet in the house, which is the one above the sink in the kitchen. It relies on filling up the self-built reservoir outside the kitchen, and relies on water pressure to achieve normal water flow from the faucet.

But things are different now. We have enough gasoline at home to last a lifetime, which means we have enough electricity to last a lifetime.

They can move all the water equipment in the tourist area back home. As long as they install the water pump and booster valve, they can have free running water at home!

After finding the gas station, the two of them focused on planting the land. Now that they had finished planting, they finally remembered the daily needs of their families.

Mu Xi suddenly realized: "Yes... the electric water heater can also be moved back for use. There is no need to boil water before taking a bath in the future."

The two looked at each other and saw clear stupidity in each other's eyes.

The two of them have lived in the mountains for a long time, and it feels like seven years have passed without realizing it. From 3033 when they first returned to the mountains to now in 3040, Zhao Yeqing suddenly felt a little enlightened...

I feel like I am new to human civilization.

She swallowed: "Then if I'm bolder, we won't even need to make a fire or something?"

Since there is endless electricity, can’t we use rice cookers, induction cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, etc. that don’t require a fire to cook?

It not only saves the time of chopping firewood, but also avoids the trouble of having to light a fire in the hot kitchen to cook in the hot weather of more than 30 degrees Celsius.

Happiness comes suddenly.

Zhao Yeqing suddenly sympathized with and understood the happiness of people who got rich overnight.

It's nice to have electricity.

Mu Xi was obviously a little confused. After regaining his senses, he considered where it would be more appropriate to place those small household appliances.

"There is not much storage space in the kitchen. If you want to put everything in the kitchen for easy access at any time, you have to build two shelves. In addition to the shelves, there is also a stove."

In the past, the two of them used a fire pit on the ground to cook. It was actually a square hole hollowed out in the ground, in which a fire was lit. Above the fire was an iron tripod that could hold pots and pans.

If you want to use an induction cooker now, you must also have a worktop. Before the kitchen was built, a worktop was built, but since we didn’t cook on it, it was used to place things. Now we have to make some shelves and cabinets for storage. Only there is space to place an induction cooker for cooking.
