After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 31 Sowing
  In a blink of an eye, it’s time to sow.

The prisoners in the territory have been discussing recently that it is now too late and there is not enough time to plant anything.

Therefore, the newly arrived family did not come to the territory to exchange seeds, no matter what they planned to plant.

They came in a fierce way, and the big horse and two strong donkeys were so attractive to people. They also had to build a house, provide food and clothing, etc.

Although it is very common outside, here, only people with good living conditions can have such complete things.

Now their four wooden houses have been built with fenced yards to block prying eyes from outside.

Siqi and Zhishu moved to a new wooden house.

The layout of the newly built wooden house is still the same as the one they built, with four rooms separated and a hall in the middle.

Then the three families built a row of shacks in the backyard.

The chicken coops are three houses apart, and the horse stables and donkey sheds are next to each other.

After the fence was built, Qin Jia went up the mountain and drew many Seven Sisters rose seedlings, and then planted them around the courtyard wall.

This kind of flower is thorny and resistant to cold and heat. When it grows well, it will look good and prevent people from climbing the fence.

Well, the main thing is that it looks good.

Occasionally, a few white wood flowers are added. This kind of flower is also thorny, grows lushly, and has a strong floral fragrance.

But Qin Jia was not sure whether it would survive, so he only planted a few trees at intervals.

Seven Sisters is better to grow, after all, it does not pick the ground and avoids waterlogging.

The adults had no intention of arranging this kind of work, so they just let Qin Jia and Qin Hao do it.

They didn't even know what she was growing.

  On the day of the planting, some prisoners who had become familiar with them recently came to watch.

Seeing the tuber sprouts in their hands, I was curious, "Brother Qin, what are you going to plant?"

Before the planting was successful, Qin Huaiyi naturally did not dare to speak out loud, lest it affect his little girl's reputation.

So he smiled and replied: "It's just some ground fruits that grow underground and can fill your stomach. I accidentally found them in the mountains.

We don’t know what to plant, so we might as well plant this nurturing land, which is still food after all. "

Judging from the expressions on the crowd's faces, it was obvious that they were not optimistic about it.

"Why don't you just go into the mountains to find the things that grow in the mountains? If there is no farming, how will you survive the winter?"

"Yes, although it's past the planting month, you can just plant something else. It's better than having nothing to eat."

"It's no wonder they think so. They really don't know what to plant this month. The land that was opened up needs to be well cared for in the first two years."

Faced with the disapproval of others, the emotions of the three families were not affected.

Wen's parents had hesitated. After all, they were old farmers and had never seen anything like this before.

But Wen Chenru was very convinced by Qin Huaiyi, and Qin Jia cooked a sweet potato and let everyone share a bite.

The pink, glutinous and sweet taste captured everyone instantly.

It has a pink and glutinous texture, and you can tell it is filling once you take one bite. In addition, it tastes better than dry pancakes, so growing it is better than growing beans.

It doesn't matter even if none of them have ever sown. As long as they can survive, they will bear some fruit.

They couldn't expect much harvest in the wasteland, so it was only proper for them to go to the mountains to find more food and store it until winter.

And once there is no work, it is just a waste of time.

At worst, I'll dig up the radishes and plant them. It happens to be the season to plant radishes even later.

The Wen family has grown white radish before, so they are confident.

Everyone unanimously decided to give it a try. It would live up to the crops that the Qin family worked so hard to find and even grow buds. In the distance, the two brothers Gongsun Wuming and Lin Xuan were also watching the excitement here.

"I heard they found a crop called sweet potato, so I thought I would plant that fruit."

Lin Yuan reported the information to the two bosses, "Because the fruit grows underground and looks like a melon, it is called sweet potato."

“If the boss wants to find them to teach, he will probably be able to do so in the near future.

They have basically finished their work and there should be nothing left to do. I believe they will be happy to have an extra job. "

Gongsun Wuming's lips curled up slightly, "Let's go, we should go there."

"it is good."

The three of them left together. After leaving the territory, they mounted three tall and strong horses and headed east.

Behind them, some more black shadows seemed to appear one after another, flashing past in a hurry.

  After burying the seedlings, Qin Huaiyi and the others had to work hard to carry water to water the ground. They were all sweating, and their shoulders were worn out.

The Qin family and the Wen family both cleared four acres of land, while Zhao Dong and Zhao Qian cleared three acres. Of course, the other two families helped.

They were afraid that they would be too busy later, so three acres was enough for them.

In addition, each family has half an acre of vegetable land.

As for the vegetable seeds, Qin Jia was not needed because they had thought of it when they purchased the supplies.

Recently, everyone has been working hard sowing seeds and watering the fields, so Fang Yuerong cooks meat and vegetables every day for everyone to replenish their health.

Today, thanks to the night listening, they had hare soup.

At the dinner table, everyone was in a relaxed mood, "I have been busy for so long and it is finally over."

"Yes, we will build two more kitchens and we can live in peace." Fang Yuerong also breathed a sigh of relief.

From being exiled to being on the road, to building a house and opening up wasteland, they never stopped for a breath.

"The wood has almost been dried. Let's take a day off tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow, and try to get our home ready as soon as possible!" Qin Huaiyi encouraged everyone.

"Okay, after we're done, we have to practice martial arts with sister Jiajia, haha!"

Zhao Dong had been craving for that set of marksmanship for a long time, and Qin Jia didn't hide it.

Anyway, if she wants other techniques, she can draw now. The liquid in the Ruyi Brush has not been consumed much, but she keeps drawing.

So now the body of the pen is still black, with only a hint of dark green at the top.

She occasionally drew some daily necessities for consumption.

For example, when it comes to toilet paper, luckily she insisted on building the hut in the corner of the yard.

A septic tank was also built to connect to the outside of the wall, and squatting pits were made using large flagstones and flat stones.

As for the passage connecting the cesspool outside, it uses a large bamboo tube. The disadvantage is that it may have to be replaced in two or three years at most.

However, it is not difficult to replace it. Once the bamboo tube begins to weather and becomes easily brittle, you can just dig it out and bury a new one.

The roof of the cesspit outside is also sealed with a large stone slab, and the inside is filled with stones and gravel, and then quicklime is sprinkled in.

Some are crude and not as perfect as modern ones, and some peculiar smell may inevitably spread.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the toilet is clean, you don't have to sit in a pit to catch fat white bugs and smell strong.

She doesn’t even want to use a bamboo scraper!

Anyway, their family agrees that they don’t need excrement as fertilizer, so there is no need to keep them.

Just finish it and wash it down with the water from the ladle on the bluestone board, taking the toilet paper with it.
