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

The taste of purslane is a little sour. Mu Xi added a little sugar when seasoning to neutralize the sourness inside, making it delicious.

After the two of them were full, they left a few pieces of the remaining meat in the pot to feed the paste and snow cakes, crumbled the rest, poured it into the remaining rice with the soup, stirred evenly, and fed it to the dog.

Feeding dogs in rural areas is more casual, and dogs eat whatever people eat.

After the toilets were built, the bathrooms were never built.

The smell in the toilet was somewhat unavoidable in summer, so they both took a shower in the open air behind the house.

Perhaps because we raise sheep, there are a lot of mosquitoes at home. Even if we clean the sheepfold every day, we still can't avoid them.

Zhao Yeqing was particularly attracted to mosquitoes. Even if he lit some insect repellent grass next to him when taking a bath, the smoke made his eyes uncomfortable, and there were still a few mosquito bites on his body.

Building a bathroom was imminent.

The next day.

Zhao Yeqing took the wire to encircle the grass circle, while Mu Xi went to chop wood.

In addition to being fenced with wire, grass seeds also need to be sown and fertilized within the fenced area.

Zhao Yeqing selected several kinds of forage seeds and tried sowing them in different regions.

The originally enclosed area only needs maintenance, and no special sowing is required.

In the three areas she circled today, she wanted to sow three types of grass seeds.

Judging from the fact that there are only two of them in the family now, it is definitely not realistic to plow all the land for planting. The notes also say that they can be sown directly on the grass.

There will definitely be some impact on the harvest, but this is also the most appropriate method at the moment.

Zhao Yeqing picked a piece of land and sprinkled the alfalfa seeds in the bag evenly on it.

This land has been traversed by rhubarb grazing before, and most of the grass on it has been eaten by sheep.

When sheep eat grass, they use their tongues to roll the grass into their mouths. If the grass grows short on the grass, the sheep cannot eat it if their tongues cannot roll it up. Therefore, even if the area has been grazed, there are still a lot of grasses and grass roots underground. .

Zhao Yeqing tried his best to spread the seeds evenly so that the grass could have enough space to grow.

After sowing the seeds, she stepped on them to allow the seeds to enter the ground.

There is relatively no shortage of groundwater in this place, and the land will not dry out into sand. As long as the experiment here is successful, maybe when they return home, they can grow pasture in the meadow near the bayberry tree.

The other two plots were planted with ryegrass and talldangrass respectively.

Ryegrass is like a dwarf wheat that will form ears when it grows up, while talldangrass grows taller. According to breeding books, when this grass grows up it looks like a corn stalk without corn.

They are all relatively high-yielding pastures.

The alfalfa and alfalfa selected by Zhao Yeqing are relatively sturdy and resistant to drought and high temperature. Except for the ryegrass, which is a little more delicate and requires artificial watering and fertilization.

There is no shortage of fertilizer. As long as there are sheep, there will be endless fertilizer.

Unfortunately, when I went to the village before, all the domestic animals inside were dead and running away.

Otherwise, she might be able to raise pigs and cows.

Zhao Yeqing went home after sowing the grass. It was almost noon.

Mu Xi hasn't come back yet.

There was no electricity here, so cutting wood and sawing boards had to be done manually, and the time it took doubled.

Zhao Yeqing baked a few cakes at home and ate two to fill his stomach. He put the rest in a bowl and sent it to Mu Xi in the forest.

Before entering the forest, I heard the sound of sawing boards.

When they got closer, they saw that Mu Xi had cut down two big trees, the branches had been removed, and they were sawed into logs.

Zhao Yeqing asked him to go near the water source and wash his hands first, "Eat the food before cooking."

Mu Xi put down the saw, wiped his sweat and washed his hands and face before returning.

Taking the bowl from Zhao Yeqing's hand, he sat down, grabbed a piece of cake, and took a bite, "I found a mud pit over there, made of red mud."

The black soil is fertile and rare in the mountains and forests of the south. The yellow soil almost turns to sludge when pinched in this weather. Only the red soil has the best stickiness.

Last night, when they were talking about making a bathroom today, Mu Xi said that after cutting the wood, they would dig a hole near the water source to see where there was red soil.

If you have red soil, you can make a brick fire stove.

Zhao Yeqing stretched his head and looked into the forest: "Where did the pit come from?"

Generally speaking, red soil is at least ten centimeters underground and can only be seen after digging.

Mu Xi: "Just a dozen meters away, the wild boar rolled out of the mud pit. It looks like it has been there for a while."

Wild boars usually roll into mud pits to cool down, and there must be water in them.

The drought has been going on for so long now, so the wild boar should have stopped coming.

Zhao Yeqing stood up and said, "I'll go back and get the basket."

When she brought the basket, she thought about digging some soil first.

Mu Xi pulled her and said, "The soil is too heavy and the location is on a slope. You can take these wooden flowers back and I'll get to them after I finish what I have on hand."

Zhao Yeqing couldn't stand him, so he put the basket down to fill the wooden flowers. After filling it, most of the basket was still empty.

This thing is not heavy to carry, so Zhao Yeqing did not waste any space. He planned to pack more leaves back, burn some plant ash and make some cement to prepare.

Maybe they can exchange their guns for guns and build a brick house.

When she returned home with the basket on her back, Dahuang had already gone out. In addition to the missing sheep in the sheepfold, the three little dogs were also missing.

Zhao Yeqing was slightly surprised. This was the first time Dahuang had brought three cubs out.

Xiaohua's leg injury cannot be healed, and the tooth marks on it are not big, and they look like they were bitten by a fox.

They have been in the meadow for so many days and have not seen a fox yet, but they have to be on guard against it.

We still have so many chickens at home.

Guodu and Xuebing can't be counted on. Huan, the two who have been playing outside recently, come back very late at night.

If no one is home during the day, the chickens still cannot be let loose, and the chicken shed must be arranged as soon as possible.

Zhao Yeqing went out to count the items worriedly, but luckily the numbers matched.

There are only one male, two female and two chicks left in the house.

Originally, they were about to live a life of free eating and drinking, but when the weather got hot, most of the dead and injured had nothing to eat.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the chickens and hoped that these seed players who could survive the high temperature might have evolved invisibly.

The eggs that are laid may hatch into varieties that can withstand high temperatures.

People always have to find some hope for themselves.

Zhao Yeqing planned to make do with some instant noodles tonight.

I got two eggs in the morning and added a few vegetable leaves, which was considered a meat and vegetable meal.

Vegetable leaves have to be picked outside.

It just so happened that she was worried about the grass sown in the morning, worried that birds would fly down and eat the seeds.

Look towards the grass circle and dig some wild vegetables.

I walked to the top of a nearby hill and looked down. If I stood high, I could see everything at a glance, saving me the hassle of running around.

There were no birds in the grass circles, so she went down the mountain to look for wild vegetables.

Search close to the mountainside. The mountainside is always blocked from the sun by the top of the mountain for a few hours, so it can be considered cool.
