Chapter 24 Growing Vegetables
As she expected, the green vegetables with a shorter growth cycle grow extremely fast, and mature within a few days, even faster than she expected.

This actually makes sense. Normally speaking, it takes at least three to five years for ordinary fruit trees to start bearing fruit, and some even take five to ten years.

On the land of this space, however, the growth cycle is calculated in days. If it is spread, no one will believe it.

"In this way, only half of the fruit trees will be vacated, and we will specialize in growing vegetables in the future."

After weighing it in her heart, Huaying had no choice but to let go.

Red fruit trees are her favorite, but growing them consumes too much of the land's fertility. If some of them are not eradicated and allowed to continue growing, the land will be completely deserted in a short time.

At the very least, until we find a way to increase the fertility of the land, we can no longer continue planting red fruit trees.

After figuring this out, Huaying started to end the lives of these fruit trees.

She was also extremely agile in her work. She quickly picked the fruits from more than a dozen fruit trees and piled them aside. Then she picked up the tools at hand and aimed at the roots of the fruit trees to dig deep.

After eradicating most of the trees one after another, only three red fruit trees were left in the end.

As for the planed fruit trees, there is no waste. Huaying plans to take time to use these wood to build a small storage room here, which will be specially used to store ripe red fruits and various vegetables in the future.

Make the best use of everything, and you can't throw it away in vain.

Next.

Plant vegetables.

He happily took out a ball of sackcloth from his bosom, gently opened it, and poured the vegetable seeds in the palm of his hand.

Needless to say, she must have borrowed it from her friends in Lijiacun.

In fact, it cannot be said to be borrowed, it should be said to be exchanged.

Her little friend is a very naughty kid who likes novelty things very much, so Huaying does what he likes and makes some things for him on the mountain in her free time.

They are all small things like slingshots and bamboo swords, and they are easy to make.

To this end, Huaying harvested a bunch of candied haws, half a bottle of fertilizer, and more than 100 vegetable seeds.

With seeds, it is much more convenient to grow vegetables. She sowed lightly, and soon the seeds were planted on this small half of the land.

Next, wait for the seeds to grow slowly, germinate, emerge, and grow leaves.

I saw that these seeds germinated at a speed visible to the naked eye not long after sowing, and drilled out of the soil. They were tender, green, and seemed to be full of vitality, not to mention how gratifying they were.

"Looking at it like this, it should take a day or two at most to grow. Let's go back first."

Huaying, who was squatting next to him, kept observing the situation of the buds, estimated the maturity time, then got up and went to the small vegetable garden next to him to pick them.

Hee hee, I can eat green vegetables when I go back tonight, but I don’t know how it tastes.

Huaying still remembered the difference between the red fruit grown in this land and the common wild red fruit, so she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

After roughly picking enough, she took out another piece of cloth from her bosom, wrapped the vegetables in the cloth, and brought some fruits along with her, then she muttered silently and left this vibrant space.

Back in the valley, Huaying was shivering from the rushing cold wind, and then she suddenly realized how warm it was over there.

It's really amazing.

Picking up the jade pendant on the ground, Huaying picked up the cloth bag and was about to leave here, when she arrived, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Putting down the cloth bag, she looked at the red fruits and vegetables inside, and she muttered to herself, "Maybe, you can try it."

As she spoke, she took out two red fruits and a few green vegetables from her cloth bag, then found a relatively open place, put them down on the spot, and looked around.

"It's just right here."

After saying that, she grabbed her cloth bag and hid far away behind a tree, squatting on the ground to observe secretly.

When she was young, Huaying once heard the elders in the village mention that rabbits do not sting in winter, and when it is cold, they will run out of their holes to look for food even when it is snowing heavily.

She doesn't know if it's true or not, but it doesn't hurt to try.

The afternoon sun was warm and shone in the valley, melting some of the snow.

With a creak, the fluffy branches were crushed by the snowdrifts falling from the treetops, broke apart, and fell to the ground with a slight sound.

Huaying leaned back against the tree, heard a strange noise, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands, and woke up slowly.

"Hey, why did you fall asleep?"

Xu Shi waited too long, but the rabbit refused to show up after the bait was thrown out, and Huaying accidentally fell asleep.

Waking up now, she couldn't help feeling annoyed and patted her head.

"How can I fall asleep? The rabbit must have run away after so long."

While scolding herself, Huaying stood up and prepared to leave.She had given up hope for that, and had to wait until the next time she came to catch the rabbit.

At this moment, she turned around and saw two rabbits squatting in the open space in front of the tree, crunching and gnawing vegetables.

"Have it!"

Huaying's eyes flashed with gold, and without delay, she rushed out with a whoosh, heading straight for the rabbit.

Just when she was about to catch the two rabbits by surprise, something incredible happened.

I saw that the two rabbits were eating deliciously, suddenly a figure sprang out and rushed towards them menacingly. One of the rabbits was so frightened that he died suddenly on the spot and fell to the ground, the legs of the rabbit kept twitching.

The other rabbit's psychological quality seemed to be better, and its reaction was extremely fast. When Huaying came out, it ran away, and escaped ten steps in a blink of an eye.

Huaying saw one of the rabbits fell to the ground and couldn't get up, so she ignored it and went straight to chase the fleeing rabbit.

However, not long after chasing her, she saw a scene that made people laugh and cry.

The fleeing rabbit was fast, but its sense of direction didn't seem to be ready. Before running far, it bumped into a tree and died directly.

When Huaying arrived, the rabbit was already dead.

"What the hell, why did I meet two silly rabbits." Huaying picked up the rabbits on the ground and scolded angrily.

She originally wanted to show off her body skills, and just took this opportunity to test the results of her recent practice, but she didn't expect it to end before it even started.

Depressed for a while, I had no choice but to go back to the distance and pick up another rabbit that was scared to death in place, feeling speechless in my heart.

"Eating them won't affect the brain, will it?"

One was bumped to death, and the other was frightened to death. How could she explain to her senior sister when she went back? She couldn't say that she picked up two rabbits for nothing on the road.

Anyway, let someone catch a job and go back, that's true.

"Ugh."

Although she had gained something, Huaying was not happy at all.

Reluctantly carrying the two rabbits, he returned to the tree to pick up the cloth bag and headed home.
