Chapter sixty two
A farmland with a length and width of about 1,000 meters is about one million square meters. In order to convert 1,500 acres, a normal person will work hard all year round to clean up twenty acres of land, so it takes more than seventy people to cultivate such a large area!
"Growing crops is not about damaging. I am often careful, so even if I plant them ten times the speed of a normal person, I will never plant this land in normal time if I am so tired..."
Liu Xiu was stunned when he squatted beside the land he had turned over. He had been trying to get as much farmland as possible a few days ago. Now he felt a little headache after reacting.
The most important thing is that he is obsessive-compulsive and cannot waste this cultivated land!
Moreover, whether this land can be planted is secondly. First of all, he must clear out the weeds in this land. Without herbicides, don’t expect the weeds on this fertile land to burn them to death. The saying that the spring breeze is not a saying. Don’t solve this problem and plant crops? Bring it down, the crops will not grow lushly by then.
"What's going on? I just need to spend a few days to remove weeds. Even if the crops are planted, I don't need to take care of them? Then I have no time to go to the spring..."
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu grabbed his hair straight, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble for himself?
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the big tiger not far away basking in the sun lazyly. Liu Xiu was immediately angry and glared and said, "Look, these are all good things you did!"
The tiger there was confused, blinking and was confused, so he turned over and looked at Liu Xiu with his butt to continue basking in the sun...
He was bored by himself, and Liu Xiu continued to look at the land and was worried. What he was struggling with now was not only the problem of removing weeds and planting, but also the problem of considering that he did not have so many seeds to plant this land.
Furthermore, even these problems are not problems. In the future, if you have harvested this land in the future, even if you don’t consider the harvest without fertilizer, can you finish the harvest yourself? You can force it to finish it by eating it in a naive way? Isn’t that going to be irritating?
Liu Xiu hadn't thought about finding helpers, but the question was who to look for? "Neighbors", forget it... those monkeys? But I guess they are good at damaging. The villagers outside the mountain are not good either. They have to be busy with farming, and the bee swarms are definitely not expected...
"Forget it, I don't want to do this, I will always think of a solution before raising seedlings." Shaking my head, putting aside my worries, Liu Xiu patted his butt and went to work hard.
He didn't have many types of crops to plant, including peppers, rice, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and wheat, because the season has passed, it can only be given up.
Among these four crops, pepper rice and sweet potatoes need to be cultivated first and then transplanted. Liu Xiu expects to take two days to deal with the seedling problem.
He carried out the seedlings of peppers and sweet potatoes at the same time. He cleaned up a rectangular land of about 30 square meters, about one meter wide, and mashed the soil. Considering the nutritional problem of no fertilizer, he went to the forest to dig a lot of fertile soil formed by rotten leaves and spread it on it. More than a dozen sweet potato seeds were buried in the soil, and the pepper seeds were sprinkled directly. In a few days, they would take root, sprout and sprout seedlings.
However, after these were done, Liu Xiu had to face another problem, that is, it was early spring. Although the temperature rose a little during the day, the temperature difference between day and night was still very large. There was no film to keep the peppers and sweet potato seeds warm, and they might be frozen to death!
Faced with this problem, Liu Xiu was a child who grew up in the countryside after all, and soon came up with a solution. The plants on the earth have not sprouted yet, especially the plains next to it. Collecting some to cover the peppers and sweet potatoes at night can solve the problem.
This workload is not big, so Liu Xiu collected enough dry grass in just one hour and put it on the edge of the nursery for use at night.
Regarding the next issue of rice seedling cultivation, Liu Xiu considered that he might have to go out in the future and could not take care of these crops at all times. If rice is planted into rice, he would not be able to take care of the paddy fields, so he decided to just plant dry rice, so he could save the problem of digging the paddy fields.
"Fortunately, I bought the seeds of dry rice last year. How important is foresight..."
Liu Xiu was glad that the process of rice seedling cultivation and pepper sweet potatoes was similar, but it had to be watered frequently depending on the situation, which was not difficult.
It took Liu Xiu two days to cultivate seedlings just because of this. After all, the conditions are simple, and the seeds in this world are not as improved as those on the earth, and there is no fertilizer, so he did not have much expectations for the final harvest.
Then, things have returned to the beginning, how to clean up weeds and the next planting problems?
Especially when cleaning up the weeds, it only took two days to make the weeds formed by the turning of the ground, and soon there will be a green grassland here!
Seeing such a large area, Liu Xiu was extremely worried. Even if all the seedlings of the crops they cultivated would not be able to plant this land. He did not want to waste the land, so worried that his brain cells did not know how many deaths were.
In a loss, Liu Xiu simply gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves and said to himself: "Cleaning the weeds first, let's talk about the others. Isn't it just a larger area? It will be solved if you spend more time. At worst, you can give up the plan to go out for an outing!"
After making up his mind, Liu Xiu did it as soon as he said that, and he fell lightly into the well-fed geography to start cleaning the weeds. Although he was quick enough, his efficiency was really average. After all, he only had one pair of hands.
After cleaning the weeds like this for an hour, Liu Xiu looked at the big tiger basking in the grass in the distance and gradually stopped moving, looking at it with thoughtful eyes.
The big tiger over there was drowsy under the sun. Suddenly, his body stiffened and he subconsciously looked towards Liu Xiu. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.
On this side, Liu Xiu suddenly smiled at the big tiger.
"Why am I so stupid? Is it clearing weeds? Isn't the ready-made labor here? I think about it. Almost all the weeds are turned on the ground, with shallow foundations and not difficult to clean them. I just need to transform the sledge and replace the iron nails with wooden nails. The wooden nails are shorter, not to crush the soil. Well, the sledge also needs to be longer, and then let the big tiger drag them over, and the weeds will be quickly ridged together. I stood on the sledge and put the weeds together, so that it can be solved quickly and easily?"
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu immediately stopped to clean the weeds manually and ran back to the bamboo house to prepare for the transformation of the sled. However, after seeing the sled, he felt that it would be better to get a "weeder" again if it was transformed, so he took his axe to cut a tree in the woods.
In half a day, Liu Xiu built a ten-meter-long "weeder". Then, regardless of whether the tiger was willing or not, he directly put the sledge on it.
Standing on the 'weeder', Liu Xiu gently sucked the big tiger's butt with a bamboo strip and said, "Move it for me!"
Then, the big tiger had to drag the "weeder" to move forward in geography. It is unknown how depressed he was.
As the big tiger dragged the "weeder" forward, the wooden nails below combed the weeds out of the soil and formed a ball, and Liu Xiu lifted it aside with a bamboo pole.
The tiger dragged the weeder and walked a kilometer distance in just five minutes. As a result, the weeds in the land that was 1,000 meters long and ten meters wide were almost cleaned up.
When he saw that there was a family, Liu Xiu was excited to urge the big tiger to move again.
After half a day, the big tiger was so tired that it stuck out its tongue, and the geographical weeds were almost cleaned up, but it was piled up in the geographical area into long ridges of grass.
Liu Xiu let the big tiger go, and did not plan to get rid of the weeds. He just lit a fire and burned it in the ground. This would make the land rich, killing two birds with one stone.
"The weed problem is not perfectly solved, so we have to consider the planting problem..." Under the night sky, Liu Xiu thought about the weeds burning like a fire dragon.
First of all, the seedlings of crops cultivated by oneself cannot plant such a large amount of land. Another thing is that even if the seedlings are enough, you will not be able to get busy, let alone the subsequent supervision issues.
Thoughts flashed, and Liu Xiu suddenly thought of the group of monkeys.
"Yes, will the problem be solved perfectly in this way? I can be busy alone without wasting land. What's more perfect is that it can improve my living environment, and there are some tricks, and some tricks..."
After thinking for a long time, Liu Xiu flashed his spirit and clapped his hands and found a way.
He was not thinking about the monkeys, but because he thought of the monkeys, he thought of the fruit forest where the monkeys lived.
"Who said that you must plant crops in this field? I can also plant trees, fruit trees, ornamental trees, etc. I settle here, and it is okay to live to be 180 years old with my physique, right? Trees can grow, and they have to be sparse, so plant a tree two meters apart, and you can plant this field in full. Not only that, I can also plant the entire plain on trees, with a distance a little further, and it will not affect the ecological environment. But then, well, besides trees, I can also plant medicinal materials and collect medicinal seeds and sow..."
The more I think about it, the brighter Liu Xiu's eyes became. If I use my brain, the problem will be solved in an instant.
He even thought of such a picture, where he planted various trees on the plain and around him, and from then on, every spring season, it will become a sea of colorful flowers. When he is idle, he smells the light fragrance on the branches and sings while drunk. What a wonderful thing that is?
After the problem was solved, Liu Xiu was no longer confused and covered the nursery with dry grass and washed and went to bed with a happy mood.
It took a while for the crop seedlings to be transplanted. The next day, Liu Xiu finished the fixed work every day and carried a hoe to enter the forest to find the trees to be transplanted.
It happened to be the season when spring just arrived. He felt that maybe that land could turn into a sea of flowers this year, and then planting crops under the flowers would make you feel more physically and mentally happy.
Considering the survival of tree transplantation, Liu Xiu directly dug out the book to be transplanted along with the root system and a large piece of soil. Anyway, he is very strong and it is easy to resist walking...
