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

Zhao Yeqing let out a 'yeah' sound! It's over, the livestock will remember it, but they will forget that the silkworm still needs to be fed.

I didn’t feed them at the meal this morning, and I didn’t clean up the mulberry leaves I fed before going out yesterday.

Without bothering to greet the assistant, he hurriedly ran outside to pick mulberry leaves and feed them to the silkworms.

The assistant sighed, this family's life was much more wonderful than they imagined.

After Zhao Yeqing finished feeding the silkworms, he looked at the assistant's complicated eyes. She seemed to have misunderstood, so she blinked and asked:

"Do you want silkworms?"

The assistant almost nodded, but then he thought about it. He probably couldn't find the manpower to raise silkworms, so he had to plant mulberry trees...

He shook his head: "No, let's wait until things get better in the future."

Zhao Yeqing understood: "Then you can come and ask for it from me when the time comes."

After visiting the vegetable garden with a full range of varieties, the assistant did not show any surprise at all this time and only praised Zhao Yeqing for his good planting.

When sending them off, Zhao Yeqing also filled a large pot of boiled milk for everyone, and the assistant's portion was given a small box of butter.

"Now your lover can make small cakes."

The assistant was not polite, and when he mentioned his lover, his eyes suddenly softened, and he said to the two of them: "Next time you go to the city, if the time is right, my wife and I will invite you to have a meal at home."

The relationship will only deepen with the comings and goings. Zhao Yeqing nodded: "Definitely next time."

"There is still part of your reward, and I will give it to you when you come to the city again."

The cargo plane rose into the sky until it was out of sight, and the two returned to the house.

Zhao Yeqing could not wait to open the big bags and boxes containing things, and took them out one by one to sort them out.

In addition to the things they exchanged before, there are also things that the two exchanged with cattle and sheep, most of which are only available for sale officially, such as: salt, sugar, oil, MSG, hand sanitizer, shampoo... these food and daily necessities.

There are also various pesticides and fertilizers that Zhao Yeqing wanted to buy before but failed to do so, as well as some hardware parts and materials such as nails, wire, paint...

There are also pure white plastic pipes, long and thick, placed in the yard.

These were all loaded on the cargo plane when it came to help them transport it back. The bamboo water channel used in the yard needs to be replaced in more than a year, otherwise it will easily grow moss or become moldy after the sultry weather.

Now replaced with plastic pipes, they can last for many years without needing to be repaired.

There is also the pig pen sewer that she has always wanted to rebuild. Now that she has the materials, she will be able to drain the dirt directly into the septic tank.

Zhao Yeqing planned to see if he could find out if there were experienced construction craftsmen in the city next time he went there to ask for advice on how to better build the biogas pool.

Among the things sent from the city this time, the most popular thing for both of them is probably the official customized version of the retractable greenhouse.

This was the largest item among all the rewards in exchange for cattle and sheep. Many metal brackets were tied up and placed on the grass outside the yard. Originally, they said they would help install them before leaving, but the two refused. The two of them can do the work themselves.

The installation is not troublesome. The metal pillars are placed around the grain field one by one and covered with adjustable shed boards.

This thing is extremely flexible. At that time, the assistant asked Zhao Yeqing carefully about the size and shape of their grain fields. When he learned that each piece of land was about half an acre, and it was the most convenient square plot, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called someone. A telescopic greenhouse of suitable size was delivered.

Each shed is about half an acre in size. There are buttons on the pillars on the side. Usually the shed is retracted into the storage box on the edge. If it rains heavily, you only need to press the button lightly and the shed panels in the box will be retracted. It will be pushed out and cover half an acre of grain land.

The shed panel also has two buttons for adjustment. One is fully transparent mode. Use this when it rains. It can block the rain without filtering out too much sunlight.

One is a translucent mode, suitable for summer when the sun is at its strongest.

This thing was originally designed to adapt to the very bad weather in the past. Unexpectedly, it became dark not long after it was designed, and once it became dark, it would be dark for a year.

By the time it gets light again, the weather has improved and most of the sheds are no longer in use. They are usually only used in greenhouse vegetable plots for growing vegetables.

These would also collect dust if left there, so it would be suitable to give them to Zhao Yeqing and the others on a meadow with no shelter and a grain plot with strong ultraviolet rays.

The two first installed a piece of land and found that this thing is really easy to use and has flexible usage scenarios. It takes no effort to put it away when not in use, just press a button.

Now I don't have to worry about those young seedlings being knocked around under the rain when it rains.

There is no need to worry that the food grown every year will not survive the scorching summer sun and will have to be planted one or two months in advance.

After all, the higher the altitude, the stronger the ultraviolet rays.

Sprinklers can also be installed on the brackets of the telescopic greenhouse to water the grain fields regularly.

Zhao Yeqing did not install it. The circuits and water pipes at home were all self-built and could not handle such a large workload. They were just watering. She politely declined the sprinklers they gave and just asked for a few more. Faucets, hard thin water pipes, and extra-long plastic hoses can be used to facilitate watering.

After Mu Xi installed the first telescopic greenhouse, he thought it was not difficult, so he told Zhao Yeqing that he could do it himself.

Zhao Yeqing let go and left the work to Mu Xi. She still had to go back and mix the pesticides.

Natural vegetables without pesticides are of course good, but growing cash crops like cotton without pesticides is simply an act of masochism.

When planting cotton, the seeds were not soaked with chemicals, nor were pesticides used to kill insects in the fields. If we do not intervene now, the follow-up work will be even more troublesome.

Fortunately, the two of them had planted garlic in the cotton field before, and the initial aphids were effectively suppressed.

Zhao Yeqing, who had so many years of experience in growing beans that could be used to kill insects without pesticides, didn't take care of them. He only added some farmyard manure and let them grow slowly on their own.

The newly bought agronomy book at home happens to contain cotton planting techniques. It's not exactly right. Mu Xi specially selected it from several books. In addition to cotton, there are also planting of mulberry trees, because it is not suitable for the balconies that are popular in the city. Most of the parties are cash crops, so I bought them for only one yuan.

It talks about various fertilizers and pesticides that need to be applied to cotton during the early and middle growth stages.

Zhao Yeqing sprayed pesticides on such a non-imported crop without any burden.

With the agricultural sprayer assigned by the assistant this time, half an acre of land was sprayed with pesticides in a short time.
