Chapter 205: Beginning of Farming Life
Half a month passed in a flash. In fact, He Jiaojiao's body had almost recovered. She just needed to discharge lochia a week after giving birth, but now her body is clean.
Seeing more and more green sprouts emerging outside, He Jiaojiao thought about the space and the many seeds rewarded by the system, and she began to get restless.
The land in the space had been sown with seeds as early as when she was in confinement, and the vegetables grown there are now edible.
But these things still need to go through some clear channels before they can be eaten openly.
So, He Jiaojiao called Bamboo Bear over. She remembered that Bamboo Bear had collected a lot of seeds in Wanshou City. Now that the cold season has passed, they can arrange to plant them.
When Zhu Xiong learned that He Jiaojiao wanted to farm, he immediately said that he could give it a try, but he implicitly told He Jiaojiao not to have too high hopes, which made He Jiaojiao a little confused.
After asking the reason, He Jiaojiao learned that some people in the beast world also tried to plant crops, but the crops they planted were never ideal. Either they could not grow big, or they did not sprout at all. This made the beastmen who were used to going out to find food gradually give up planting.
He Jiaojiao didn't know if others could grow it, but she definitely could, after all, she had the system. A few days ago, when she entered the space to sow seeds, she accidentally discovered a spring next to the land. After asking the system, she found out that it was a spiritual spring.
That is a spiritual spring. It can not only strengthen the body and beautify the skin, but also make plants watered by the spiritual spring grow very fast. Moreover, eating crops grown with the spiritual spring is beneficial to the body.
In order to ensure that she could successfully develop planting, He Jiaojiao first cultivated a lot of vegetable seedlings in a small piece of land in the space, many of which were those brought back by Bamboo Bear.
Looking at the vast expanse of green, He Jiaojiao felt that the time was almost right. In addition, the weather was indeed very good, so early that morning, He Jiaojiao led her friends out, leaving Ziyi at home to take care of Xiao Ruoxue.
Not far from Wanshou City, He Jiaojiao found a place that was very suitable for planting. There was plenty of sunshine and a water source nearby, making it the most suitable place for planting.
So under the command of He Jiaojiao, several companions began to turn the soil with the hoes made of animal bones the night before. The kids rarely came out for some fresh air, so naturally they were having a lot of fun.
He Jiaojiao wanted to dig the soil, but Mo Ran and Chi Yan glared at her. They could accompany Jiaojiao to try what she wanted to do, but they would never allow Jiaojiao to do these physical tasks by herself.
Helplessly, He Jiaojiao wandered around and found quite a few fruit trees. However, these trees were all naturally grown. Although they were large, they had not been cared for, so they had not produced many fruits. In addition, there were some wild beasts that coveted the fruits, so the amount that the beastmen could pick was very small.
If all these fruit trees were transplanted together to form an orchard for unified management, the effect would be very good.
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Mo Ran was turning the soil when he saw He Jiaojiao from afar, who was studying something, so he walked over and asked about the situation.
"Aran, I want to transplant all these wild fruit trees together and create a small orchard."
Although he didn't know what the orchard He Jiaojiao was talking about was, since she wanted to do it, then let's do it. So Mo Ran waved to the few people who were still working hard to plow the soil. Just as the vegetable patch was almost done, they immediately put down their things and came over.
When he learned that He Jiaojiao wanted to build an orchard, Zhu Xiong was the first to understand, "Jiaojiao, do you want a forest like a bamboo forest, a large area of the same kind of fruit?"
He Jiaojiao nodded, "That's right."
"Okay, I saw quite a few red fruit trees when I was hunting before. I'll dig them up and plant them later." Chi Yan said immediately.
He Jiaojiao nodded, but their goal today was to sow all the seeds in the vegetable garden.
He Jiaojiao followed her friends to the tilled vegetable patch. Looking at the large clumps of soil in the field, He Jiaojiao couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Although He Jiaojiao had not farmed since she left the countryside, she vaguely remembered that the land had to be made very flat for farming. But looking at the messy land in front of her that could not even be called land, she felt helpless.
"Hmm..." He Jiaojiao picked up a smaller hoe beside her. It was originally used by the children to dig for fun. She imitated the way her grandparents worked the land in her memory, breaking up the mud and smoothing it out. As she did so, she said to the others, "If you want to grow delicious vegetables, you can't turn the soil like this. You need to do it like me."
"Okay, we got it. Jiaojiao, go and have some rest."
Chi Yan immediately snatched the hoe from He Jiaojiao's hand and motioned Jiaojiao to sit down and rest nearby.
Jiaojiao glanced at her red palm and shook her head secretly. She didn't expect that when she came to the animal world, she was so pampered that she couldn't even carry anything on her shoulders or with her hands. Now, she just demonstrated how to dig the ground, but her hands were rubbed red.
Finally, thanks to the unremitting efforts of Mo Ran and others, the vegetable garden can finally be viewed.
He Jiaojiao took out all the seeds that Bamboo Bear had collected before from the space. Before taking them out, she sprinkled some spiritual spring water on the seeds, so that the chances of the seeds germinating would be greater. After all the seeds were sown, she took out the seedlings that had been cultivated before from the space.
Mo Ran and the others all knew that He Jiaojiao had space, so they were not very shocked when they saw these seedlings. Instead, after asking, they planted the seedlings one by one as required.
"Jiaojiao, the seedlings have been planted. What should we do next?"
Chi Yan wiped the sweat from his face with his arm. He never thought that growing vegetables would be so difficult, even more difficult than hunting.
Looking at the mud spots on Chi Yan's face, He Jiaojiao smiled, took out a piece of clean animal skin from the space, and then motioned Chi Yan to come over and squat in front of her.
"what happened?"
Chi Yan didn't understand what was going on, but he still squatted down obediently.
He Jiaojiao carefully wiped the mud off Chi Yan's face and asked with a smile, "Are you tired? I'll ask Ayi to make some more delicious food for you when we get back."
Chi Yan wanted to say that he was not tired, but he did not expect that Lin Feng would come out immediately when he heard that there was something delicious. "Well, I want the beef stew from last time, is that okay?"
Seeing Lin Feng's face full of stains, but still thinking only about delicious food, He Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Mo Ran glanced at Lin Feng and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go to the water over there and take a look at your face?"
Lin Feng was confused, so he raised his hand and touched his face, then asked in confusion, "What's wrong with my face?"
There were originally just some stains, but after Lin Feng wiped it away, it instantly turned into a big clown face. Even the serious Mo Ran couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips a few times.
