Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.
Chapter 41 Reclaiming rice fields
She had completely forgotten that there was a ring road leading to the top of the mountain.
Speaking of the mountain-ring highway, Zhao Yeqing told Mu Xi about the infected person at that time.
"I don't know if there are any of his colleagues on the mountain ring road. If there are, there will be a body on it."
When Mu Xi heard that Zhao Yeqing had eliminated an infected person by himself, he felt a sigh of relief in his chest. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
"I'll go take a look another day."
Fortunately, the tree stumps Zhao Yeqing chopped were not too big, so the difficulty of digging was not particularly high.
She is responsible for loosening the soil near the roots of the trees. It takes a lot of strength to lift the entire tree roots. She is not good at it, and neither is a hoe.
She found two steel bars left over from the previous construction, inserted one end under the tree stump, and pressed down hard with the other end. She was almost sitting on it, and the tree stump was only lifted up a little.
Mu Xi finished sawing the tree stump and pulled Zhao Yeqing away, "Go and draw the range of the field ridge."
The rice fields are sunken so that they can store water. The surrounding soil should be raised a little higher to form ridges. It is best to tamp them down to prevent them from collapsing when you step on them when it rains.
After drawing the area, Zhao Yeqing started digging from the edge. The excavated soil was used as a ridge on the edge. The area she drew was a square. After digging in circles, all the tree stumps on Mu Xi's side were pried out.
"So fast?"
"There are still tree roots under the ground. Let's see if we can dig them all out when we dig the ground." Mu Xi pulled the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his face.
Zhao Yeqing saw from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a few bulges on his abdomen.
It seems to be more than six yuan...
No wonder it's so fast.
Zhao Yeqing clicked his tongue twice and cursed "Slut".
The tree stump brought out a lot of soil, leaving three soil pits. Zhao Yeqing walked over and took a look. There were many small earthworms in the holes left behind.
Although she is not afraid of earthworms, everything becomes goosebumps when it becomes dense.
The only things she had seen in pictures online that didn't make her uncomfortable were the gold bricks in the bank.
Densely packed and pleasing to the eye.
It is troublesome to cultivate rice fields. They do not have a plow and have to use basic tools themselves.
A plow is a combination tool. The front is a plow and the back is a rake. The front is used for plowing and the back is used for leveling.
In terms of normal plowing steps, you need to use a plow to dig deep into the soil first. The front of the plow is like an arrow, which can penetrate deeply into the soil. They don't have that, so they can only use a hoe to dig deeper. This takes longer, but it can still be done.
Then use a rake to level the ground. This can be done with the nail rake she bought before, the one used for weeding, to break up the excavated hard soil and level it.
The hoe is not deep enough when it is hoeed into the ground. It needs to be raised high and lowered to dig as deep as possible. Only after repeating this for five or six times can the hoe be dug.
After digging for five minutes, Zhao Yeqing looked up and saw that it was less than half a square meter.
At her pace, it would take thirty hours of digging in the ground to finish. If she took a break and dug this small area, she wouldn't be able to finish it in a week.
Thinking of this, her eyes towards Mu Xi became a little more cordial.
As soon as Mu Xi raised his head, he saw Zhao Yeqing's eyes, which were a little funny, "What kind of monster are you doing? Go back and look at your rabbit when you are tired."
"Okay!" Zhao Yeqing was not polite at all. She evaluated herself. According to her physical strength, even if she stayed there until dark today, she would not be able to dig a few meters. She would be so tired that she would not be able to lift her arms tomorrow and would be unable to do anything.
It's better to go home and cook, feed the chickens and geese, feed the rabbits, and wait for Mu Xi to come home and take a shower to help wash the clothes.
Living in the mountains, it gets dark late in the summer. It's past four or five in the afternoon on the south-facing side. Although it's still bright, the sun is already blocked behind the mountains.
Zhao Yeqing spread the prepared water and fertilizer into the vegetable garden, and sprayed the leaves with chloroform.
There was finally some wind in the mountains now. Zhao Yeqing opened the tent cloth and let the wind blow the plants.
Crops such as peppers and tomatoes do not require bees for pollination after flowering. They can self-pollinate. The wind only needs to blow the stamens, and the pollen will rise to complete pollination.
Yesterday's rabbit has been consumed, and Zhao Yeqing plans to cook the three dishes that Mu Xi ordered for dinner today.
She walked to the vegetable garden. The sweet potato vines were now growing very luxuriantly. After the heavy rain, other vegetables were a little wilted. The sweet potatoes were the exception.
She found the most luxuriant one and gently dug up the soil next to it. If there were no sweet potatoes underneath, she could fill it with soil so that it could continue to grow without damaging it.
Pulling away the soil along the sweet potato vines, Zhao Yeqing saw several red potato tips exposed. She reached in and touched them with her fingers. They were about two fingers wide.
It's not impossible.
Although it's a pity, I will definitely have some good potatoes when I grow up, but today's workload is really too much, and Zhao Yeqing wants to reward the farmer brother who works hard in the fields.
A small portion of shredded sweet potatoes requires roughly four or five small sweet potatoes. The bunch she touched seemed to be more than four or five. After digging out the required amount, she filled it back with soil.
Steam the rice first when you get home.
The white ginseng mushroom picked the day before yesterday was still in the basket. This mushroom has a very special texture, very chewy, like eating some kind of dried meat.
The white ginseng mushroom looks like a big flower, but it is actually a bunch of small fungi that need to be picked off one by one and washed.
Beat four eggs, put the washed white ginseng mushrooms into the egg liquid, and add salt.
Normally, sour stir-fried fish is fried with sour radish. Now that there are no sour radish at home, Zhao Yeqing plans to stir-fry it with pickled cabbage dumplings, which are still crispy.
The small fish that have been dried before need to be passed through oil again so that they can be crispy inside and out.
Sauté the onions, garlic, and chili peppers in hot oil first, and then add the small fish. The kitchen is instantly filled with aroma, and Zhao Yeqing sniffs and chokes on the chili peppers.
When the fish turns golden, you can put the chopped sauerkraut into it. The sauerkraut itself has a salty taste, and you can add a little sugar to make it fresh.
When the rice was steamed, Zhao Yeqing shouted outside that it was almost time to eat.
After getting a response, I put the egg liquid with white ginseng mushrooms into the pot. When the eggs are cooked, the white ginseng mushrooms inside will also be cooked.
From the kitchen window, she saw that Mu Xi had come back and was standing by the sink cleaning, and then she started to put the sweet potatoes into the oil pan to fry.
The sweet potato cubes are peeled in advance and coated with starch. After frying in the oil pan, the skin will form a crispy shell.
The fried sweet potatoes cannot be stored for a long time, as the syrup must be boiled out immediately. If the sweet potatoes are cold, they will not be able to be pulled out when put in the syrup.
Put the sugar into a pot and add water to boil and melt. The sugar water in the pot will begin to bubble. Zhao Yeqing stood by the pot and stirred with a spoon until the bubbles disappeared and the syrup gradually turned amber.
