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

There was finally a situation today. The first thing Mu Xi did after going down was to tell Zhao Yeqing.

I don't know if it was because he had waited too long that his original worries turned into expectations. Zhao Yeqing's first reaction when he heard the news was that he was a little surprised.

"Appeared?" Her eyes widened, and she threw the grass in her hands into the sheep pen. She slapped her hands back and forth, and the remaining grass clippings on her palms were flying in the air. "You only have so many days of annual vacation? This villain is serious about it. No, this welfare package is too poor.”

Mu Xigang's mood to have a serious discussion was blocked by this strange brain circuit, and he followed Zhao Yeqing out of the sheepfold as he muttered.

"You said that they came out to work so early. Doesn't it reflect from the side that this villain is probably not having a good life. Compared with the competition outside, it is quite fierce."

If not, who would have to go to work early?

I originally thought that Zhao Yeqing was just having an unreasonable idea, but I didn't expect that after analysis, it actually made some sense.

Mu Xisha nodded cooperatively, "I think you are right. They are neither close nor too far away from us. According to the speed of the helicopter, it will only take less than an hour to get here. It must not be easy." come over."

But if you really come here and spend an hour and gas, then you must be coming from a bad person.

There must be something up his sleeve.

After Mu Xi saw the helicopter, he never stopped observing the distance. He went to watch it from dawn every morning. Zhao Yeqing took out two sweaters for him from the closet and asked him to put them on. Stay, wear more clothes, the wind in the morning and evening is too cold.

Mu Xi stayed on guard for a week and had a pretty good idea of ​​the exact time when these people would come out. Basically they would arrive at around nine in the morning, and then go back around five in the afternoon. Sometimes they would stay in the mountains for a whole day. Let's go, but even if we stay for a day, we will go back after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Generally speaking, it would get dark after six and a half hours in winter, and it would be dangerous to fly a helicopter, so he concluded that the group's base was more than 300 kilometers away from the mine.

Mu Xi recalled the most likely city hundreds of kilometers away in his mind, and had a rough goal in mind.

Zhao Yeqing seemed to have confirmed how correct his previous idea was. He patted his thigh lightly, his tone was excited, but his eyes were filled with disgust:

"Look what I said, it's really not easy to get around. If it's more than an hour away, then the people on the plane probably get up before eight in the morning to commute. To be a villain, you have to go from eight to five, isn't it? It’s not easy to mess around.”

And there was always that helicopter going back and forth. Maybe that was the only helicopter that was in the group. The one who was watching every day was probably the leader. At first, Zhao Yeqing wondered if it was transporting people inside, but then he thought about it, what if? How can a transporter travel from morning to night?

I'm afraid there are already people inside, so they try to find a way to walk in. Then the leader goes to the construction site by helicopter every day, and can use the only helicopter to transport him back and forth every day. Zhao Yeqing deduced based on his years of experience in watching dramas, how can he be the second-in-command and the third-in-command? of.

The gasoline outside was probably not easy to come by. This kind of non-renewable material in special times was the most rare. Zhao Yeqing was even more determined to cover up the gasoline station near his home and never show it to others.

The weather did not get colder after the severe cold. The temperature remained stable until the beginning of spring. Once the beginning of spring passed, the weather began to gradually warm up.

Zhao Yeqing sorted out the seeds to be planted before the beginning of spring.

The basement is mostly filled with green leafy vegetables. I just had my first strawberry before the weather started to warm up. This year’s strawberries didn’t bear much fruit, but they all tasted pretty good. There was nothing special except for the strawberries. The tomatoes and peppers I planted last year were moved to the basement. No matter how much you plant, it will not bear much fruit.

There was only one millet plant. This most nutritious solanaceous plant could still produce a few small red fruits under Zhao Yeqing's careful pollination.

This means that almost all fruits and vegetables must be grown in advance.

Grain in the grain field cannot be planted so quickly, as we are worried about the late spring cold, but fruit and vegetable seedlings can still be prepared in advance, and they are all done indoors to avoid freezing.

It takes a month to raise seedlings, and by the time they are transplanted, the late spring cold must have passed.

The crops for this spring were planned last year. There is still a lot of rice planted last year. It was planted in the autumn. If it is stored well, it will not be a problem for more than one year. Zhao Yeqing also wrote in a small notebook to remember when the sun rises. All the rice must be taken out and dried again.

Unpeeled rice remains dry for one to three years.

Judging from the food intake of the two of them, it probably won't take that long and they will be able to finish it by the end of the year, provided they don't eat much pasta.

The wheat at home also needs to be dried. If we add pasta, it will probably be enough for the two of us until the fall of the following year.

What we will plant this spring are peanuts, soybeans, red and mung beans, sesame seeds, cotton... Except for cotton, which is used for weaving, the rest are basically used for seasoning.

There isn’t much sesame oil left at home. Peanuts, soybeans and sesames are all grown for oil extraction. Peanut oil has never been pressed. Zhao Yeqing doesn’t like peanut oil, which is a strong-flavored oil. But last time, in order to consume the chicken at home, he made Cantonese. Save the steamed chicken.

But for steamed chicken, it’s best to apply a layer of peanut oil in advance before steaming it to taste delicious. Other oils have no taste.

Zhao Yeqing was itching. Anyway, there were not many peanuts left at home, so he had to plant them no matter what. He also moved an oil press back from the village. It was much simpler than the old method of pressing oil. It could press both sesame, sesame oil and soybeans. Oil and peanuts are also included.

The main purpose of soybean oil extraction is not for oil, but for the soybean meal after oil extraction. This thing is perfect for making fertilizer. The extracted soybean oil has no special taste and is also good for frying.

There is also passion fruit. We didn’t plant it last year. We need to plant it well in spring this year. There are not many seeds left. If we don’t plant it well this time, we may not be able to find the seeds again in the future.

The passion fruit seedlings have been grown together with the fruits and vegetables in the basement with the grow light on. There are not many seeds left, there are only about twenty or thirty plants, which should be enough for two people.

Surprisingly, many of the mulberry trees that were cut last year survived. Mu Xi saw that the helicopter had no intention of coming here, so the two of them took a day to move the mulberry trees that had been planned to be transplanted back. Come back.

The late spring cold came just in time, and these mulberry trees that were still unstable were covered with plastic sheets and passed the first test of the year safely.

Mulberry trees can grow normally, and each tree grows soft new leaves after the spring breeze blows.
