Grasp the farming script in the famous book

"Luna, what kind of person is Melly?"

Roland stretched out his hand to the grass, and a kitten separated the grass and jumped towards Roland's knee.

This time Luna entered the plane later than Roland. As an agent, she needs to finalize all the details and sign an agreement with the plane producer.

Hearing Roland's question, Luna immediately contacted the producer and played a piece of "Memory Killing" to Roland, who was obviously ignorant.

Miss Scarlett Scarlett, the daughter of a manor owner in Georgia, has been deeply in love with the eldest son Wei Xili of the neighbor "Twelve Oaks" manor since the beginning of love.

Wei Xili chose to marry his cousin Han Meilan.

In a fit of rage, Scarlett Scarlett married Melanie's brother Charlie Han first.Her husband died two months after the marriage, leaving Scarlett with a posthumous son—Han Wade.

In other words: at such a young age, Scarlett was widowed and brought up children, which was basically "made" by herself.

This also explains why Roland hates and envies Melanie.

But Melanie is a person that others can't hate——Scarlett spent a long time with Melanie in Atlanta after she became a widow. Melanie was a real lady.

Wei Xili also went to the battlefield like others. He left a message for Scarlett on the last Christmas when he was reunited with his family, asking Scarlett to take care of Melanie.

Scarlett was so stupid, because Wei Xili's request actually brought the mother and baby Melanie who had just given birth back to Tara from Atlanta on the night of the fall of Atlanta in the midst of the flames of war.

However, Melanie never let Scarlett down.

Once a northern soldier invaded Tara and wanted to do something wrong. Just when Scarlett shot him down, Melanie rushed down the stairs with Charlie's long knife in her hand, desperate to protect Si Chia.

When Roland finished watching this section of "Memory Killing", she reached out to rub her brows.

"I didn't expect the emotional line in this plane to be so complicated."

She used to exclaim "by mistake into the bloody plane", but now her character is the most bloody, which makes Roland very speechless.

She disliked this kind of sticky emotion the most.

Since Wei Xili married someone else, to her, it was equivalent to cutting off all kindness.If it was Roland herself, she would lose face and walk away from the other party. From then on, everything about her has nothing to do with the other party, and she would not pay any attention to any "commission" from the other party.

She was willing to take in and help Melanie purely because Melanie was her friend and sister-in-law, not because Melanie was Wei Xili's husband.

Admiring the other party, it made him feel like he owed favors to others—this is what Roland couldn't understand Scarlett the most.

She tried to use "implanted emotions" to recall Wei Xili - she felt it for a long time, but only felt a hazy feeling of affection.

It's like... When I was in school, I happened to meet a deskmate who was handsome and had great grades. He liked to talk to you, would watch you silently, and smiled at you when you turned your head inadvertently. , making your heart beat slightly faster by [-]%——

Forget it, don't think about it.

Roland thought to himself, let's grow all the sweet potatoes first.

During the daytime of the next day, everyone who could move came to watch Roland's "feat" of covering the land with carpets.

Roland had no choice but to explain over and over again: "This is for raising seedlings;"

"Madding horse manure and grass is to increase the temperature of the nursery;"

"Carpeting is for moisture and insulation;"

"Moisturizing and heat preservation during the seedling raising stage is to prevent the black spot disease of sweet potatoes..."

Melanie held up the torch in the middle of the night last night, but today she can barely stand, she can't straighten her waist.

But when she heard Roland's words, she nodded her head happily and said, "Scarlett is right..."

But once others heard Melanie's words, they believed them all: "Since even Mrs. Wei said that..."

Roland was speechless: You don't believe what I, an agricultural expert, said. Melanie's ten fingers have never touched Tara's red soil, so you actually believe her?

She ignores others and concentrates on tending her sweet potatoes first.

Four days later, the sweet potatoes, carefully protected by Tara's rug, emerged smoothly.Together with Polk, Roland planted these sweet potatoes into a more spacious soil bed.

When Jiale saw it, he walked around and asked with his hands behind his back, "Scarlett, why are you and Polk working? Where are the black people?"

There were originally more than 100 black slaves in Tara Manor. During the war, Lincoln promulgated the "Emancipation Proclamation", announcing the freedom of black slaves, and all the black slaves in Tara ran away.Only the Polk family stayed with Jiale and Ellen's kindness in mind.

Roland had no choice but to answer Jiale: "My mother asked me to do it, and she is worried about others."

Jia Le suddenly understood, "Oh", and said, "Then I won't bother you."

Roland: ...

How she wished that the little Irishman would come to his senses, pick himself up, and roll up his sleeves to help her hoe.

But now it seems that it is better for Jiale to live in the dream, so that at least he is still with Ellen.

After all the sweet potatoes are planted, there is hope for winter rations.

At this time, Roland launched a vigorous "garbage picking" campaign in Tara.

She made several simple "garbage picking" clips, which allow people to pick up debris on the ground without bending down.Then she sent everyone to pick up trash.

People carried baskets made of rattan, walked into the horrible cotton field, and picked up all the sundries in the field one by one.

All "garbage" must be classified, which is a rigid requirement put forward by Roland.

Anything that could spread the disease: used bandages, blood-stained cloth strips, shoes and socks...all burned directly.

In addition, large and small pieces of wood were picked up from the fields - most of which were damaged wheels and axles, and even a dislodged gun stock.

The best hardwood can be kept for making tools, but if it is too rotten, it is simply burned and used as wood for lighting and heating.

Metals are strictly collected by Roland.People found all kinds of shrapnel and warheads, screws and nuts, springs and bearings, buttons and belt buckles in the cotton fields...the most are actually cans.

Cans from this era were made of thin tin, some coated with tin.

The opened cans were scattered in every corner of the field, and the sharp edges of the cans forced Roland to strictly prohibit children from touching these things - there is no tetanus shot now, and it is not fun to cut your hands.

People collected all the sorted "garbage", and Roland just asked people to dispose of what should be disposed of, and the rest were piled up in the hut where the blacks lived, and he didn't say how to use them.

But Roland knew very well that these things would come in handy sooner or later.

After all this work, the good news came - Suellen and Carleen finally got rid of typhoid fever and gradually recovered.

Roland asked Mammy to carry the two of them out of the ward and put them under the corridor to bask in the sun.Next to it was a sickly Melanie.

"They can't be left lying in that room with no light at all."

Roland didn't know how to explain the relationship between sunlight and calcium. "In short, if you don't bask in the sun, you will easily be unable to walk in the future, and you will be more likely to get sick and break bones."

"In addition, I also need you to help me look at this land."

The sweet potatoes that were planted are facing the Tara mansion, and now the sweet potato leaves have come out of the ground, and they are very green and lovely.

Roland put the three aunts here to bask in the sun every day, hoping that they would keep an eye on the land, and that no one would steal the produce from the land—although they could not stop or chase down the thieves, the three of them sharpened their eyes together. It was scary enough to scream.

In addition, Melanie can help keep an eye on little Wade and tell Wade stories.

Wade used to complain that his mother didn't have time to play with him, but now he can't at all--Wade only has Aunt Melanie in his eyes.

But Roland didn't care about this son at all for the time being.

After arranging these, Roland took Polk to the depths of Tara Manor.

Pork fished by the river with a fishing rod every day, even if he could only catch one fish a day, it would be enough for the ladies and wives to improve their meals—it's a pity that Pork doesn't have such luck every day.

And Roland repeatedly observed Tara's ecology:

Tara is a perfect cotton farm, with fertile soil, no need for crop rotation or fallow for the next two or three years, a place where you can sprinkle the seeds and grow cotton.

In addition, at the edge of the manor, Roland found large tracts of wild castor, mixed in the weeds, shyly not wanting to be discovered.

Then there are all kinds of vegetables: peas, radishes, cabbages, tomatoes...they grow like crazy when no one is looking after them.Now more or less can bring something edible to the people on the manor.

Roland threw a cabbage and a few tomatoes into the basket, thinking that with these, he would cut a strip of bacon at night and pour some well water to stew it, it would be a delicacy.

She stretched out her hand to rub the space between her eyebrows: To be honest, this is the first time she has lived such a poor life in the plane.

In the future, the business of the plane store in this plane must be very slow.

Now she can say that she understands why the previous players chose to retire - the environment is difficult, the emotions are bloody, the players have probably experienced the highest level of hard mode in all planes, and they are struggling here, what are they trying to do?

At this time, a cow cat jumped at her feet, and asked with concern: "Lan Lan, are you okay?"

Roland kept a straight face: "Not good!"

Luna: ...?

"I can't tell, it's not because of how embarrassing or bad the situation is, but..."

Because the producer of the plane made false propaganda!

Roland pointed, "Look, what did the producer promise before I came? A manor, a big house, a pig, a big cow and a small cow, how many chickens... how much labor."

Foolish people don't take such foolishness.

Luna said awkwardly: "But the producer is right."

There is indeed a manor, a big house, a pig that is almost dead, a cow that has just given birth to a calf and is neither milking nor working, several chickens that have disappeared... and Roland himself, a real labor force!

"Lan Lan, don't tell me, you are intimidated by the difficulties in front of you!"

Maomao raised its pink paws to cheer Roland up.

Roland just sighed: "It's absolutely impossible to say that I was intimidated."

"It's just that we should be more cautious when signing contracts with the plane in the future." Roland summed up the experience and lessons, and looked forward to the future, "In the future, if the producer mentions the word 'how much' to me, I will ask them to enter the plane themselves. In front of my face, count them one by one.”

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, probably thinking that as long as Roland doesn't follow in the footsteps of the previous player, it's fine to retire.

"Luna, go and negotiate with the producer."

"I need labor—you tell them, if I want to keep me here, I need at least two decent and obedient labor. Let them help me figure out a way."

Roland knew very well: a crying child has candy.

She can still bear all the situations in the plane now, but she wants to fight for better conditions for herself by taking advantage of the "false propaganda" of the plane and the reason that the previous contestant withdrew from the competition.

It's no fun for her to fight like this alone.

If she forces other old people, patients, children...to work with her, it will affect her "favorability".

It's better to put pressure on the producers in turn.

"Okay," Luna and Roland have worked together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding. Once she said that, she understood everything.Black and white flowers immediately ran to the grass, "Lan Lan, I'll come as soon as I go!"

Roland breathed a sigh of relief, carried the basket, and turned around to go back.

Suddenly, a tree suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Like an alien, a solitary tree stands behind the rocks on the river bank——

After seeing its tree species clearly, Roland rubbed her eyes, she couldn't believe her eyes.

How can this be?How is it possible to see such a tree in such a place?

Is there a bug in the plane?

Roland stood there for a long time.

She heard the north wind blowing across the empty red fields of Tara, and she smelled a faint fragrance in the air.

It was as if she had returned to her hometown.

Roland suddenly laughed out loud:

What else does she have to worry about?What else is there to complain about?

From now on she knew that Plantation Tara—there was more than just cotton.

After Luna negotiated with the producer, a new labor force appeared.

First: Will Benting.

This was a soldier who had been brought across on his saddle, with one leg amputated and a wooden leg fitted that didn't fit at all.

Will was nursed at Tara, and he woke up, recovered, and began to do light work.With nowhere else to go, Will becomes part of Tara.

Will couldn't do heavy work, but Roland soon discovered his unique ability: carpentry.

Just give him a woodworking knife and a piece of wood he picked up when he was "picking up the trash", and Will can carve out a little doll, hand it to Wade, and say, "Take it and play with it!"

Roland actually had the guts to grab the doll from his son. She snatched the thing over, looked at it carefully, and then threw it to Wade, who was about to cry.

Then she reached out and gestured to Will. "I want a tool like this. Will, can you help me?"

She's talking about a tool that automatically peels beans, removing the right-sized kernels from their pods.

Will glances at Carreen as she walks past the living room.

Carleen, who was gradually recovering from her illness, had started to help around the house, and her thumb was dyed green from various beans.

So Will nodded.

Two days later, Tara added a tool that can automatically "peel beans".

"Will, I want a tool like this...!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Two days later, Tara got another tool that can extract oil.The wild castor beans that grow around the cotton fields are collected and pressed for castor oil - Tara no longer needs precious lard to light her lamps.

"Will—"

"Yes, yes, ma'am!"

The second labor force is none other than Wei Xili, Melanie's husband.

After the war, he returned to his hometown as a released prisoner of war.

When Roland saw him appearing outside the gate of Tara Manor, he felt a strong urge to rush up and try to hug the man—she was immediately pulled by Will.

"Ashley is Melanie's husband," Will reminded quietly.

Roland: ... Khan!

Almost forgot about this.

But she didn't expect that Scarlett's feelings for Wei Xili would be so fanatical - she was usually suppressed and calm, but she would explode in such an irresistible way as soon as she saw her.

Good thing there is Will;

Fortunately, she is still sane.

Roland turned his head to look at Will, and saw the understanding and sympathy on the young sojourner's face.

"What are you thinking about?"

Roland responded to Will unceremoniously, "Even if he is Melanie's husband, as long as he comes to Tara, he has to work with him!"

Will: ...

After Wei Xili came to Tara, he really became one of Roland's "labor forces". He went to the nearby town of Jonesboro to run errands for her, and did farm work for her. Trying to plow the cotton field while holding the plow with the thin arm——

But neither Will nor this "excellent tablemate" Wei Xili could help Roland at the critical moment when Tara was really facing "life and death".

Before winter came, Tara stocked up enough sweet potatoes and vegetables, and exchanged the castor oil pressed from the wild castor for two little piglets and a few chickens—the whole farm seemed to be going hungry for a while.

Just when Roland wanted to catch his breath, a new tax notice came out, and Tara needed to pay $300 in taxes.If not paid, Tara will be auctioned off.

"What, $300?"

When Roland heard the news, the only cash asset was a gold coin worth $10.
