Chapter 213: Spices
"Haha, milk, what you said just now is good, we are working now to experience life."
As she said that, she laughed again, and Meng Shi laughed when she thought about it.
"What's going on?"
He Jinhuai asked, holding a shovel.
Meng said, "Did you see this?" Dig a pit every one foot, don't dig too big or too deep, and go down with half a spade. ”
"Oh."
Xiao Qingyue took another shovel and said, "Milk, I'll have one with him, and you and Yuanbao will follow them?" ”
Mo Bao squatted on the ridge and looked at the ground with his chin propped up, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he ran to Yuan Bao and muttered a few words.
Yuan Bao then rushed to Xiao Qingyue and snatched her shovel and said, "Cousin, I'll dig it, you go and help Brother He plant it." ”
He Jinhuai said that this child can achieve great things with his eyes!
"Yo, weren't you afraid of him before? How will this call Brother He? ”
Yuan Bao smiled, took the shovel and went aside.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue grabbed some corn seeds and put them in a bowl, He Jinhuai dug a pit, she sprinkled two or three seeds, and when one was finished, she came back to water and cover the soil.
Mo Bao looked at the two of them, his eyes dripping.
Xiao Qinghua, who went to deliver food to the other two plots of land after a while, also came back, and with the help of another person, she planted faster.
Six or seven people worked together, and in the evening, two acres of corn were planted, and wheat was also planted on the side of the day workers.
On the morning of the second day, Meng went to get the cattle in the village, and the two short-term workers ploughed out the remaining three acres of land in the morning, which could have been completed in less than one morning, but Xiao Qingyue's requirements for planting spice land were too high, and the soil had to be turned over very finely.
However, although they only worked for one morning, Xiao Qingyue gave them a day's money, all of which were for physical food, so she didn't care about that, and formed a good relationship, so that she could find someone when she needed a short-term job in the future.
"You thyme, you're going to plant it in the afternoon?" Meng asked her at noon.
"The thyme is not good yet, it has only emerged, and it has to grow again. In the afternoon, I went to sow cumin seeds and finished sowing perilla. ”
In fact, it is a bit early to plant perilla, and it is best to plant perilla in late April, but she looks at the temperature in Jiangbei and the temperature is okay, and it is nothing to plant earlier.
And perilla and cumin belong to one or two year plants, so she plans to put a piece of land to plant together, so that the ground will be easier to turn over in the future.
One or two-year-old plants are planted this year and then they die, and perilla is like this, like cumin, which can live for two years.
But like fennel angelica, they are perennial plants, just like chrysanthemums, even if the leaves fall in winter, they will continue to sprout and bloom in the following year.
Therefore, she does not grow spices casually, but also takes into account various problems in different categories.
"Shall I help you?"
"I'll go with Yuanbao, if you're okay, go and see who has the beet seedlings, see if you can even or buy some, I'll go back and plant in the cumin field."
Cumin can be interplanted with other crops, in fact, it is the most cost-effective to interplant corn in the field, but because she plans to make perilla in the other half of the land, it is easy to block the sun if she gets corn again, which is not very good, but sugar beet can.
He Jinhuai will also be there, Xiao Qingyue said again, "I want to trouble you, drive the mule cart to help me get some fine sand, enough to scatter half an acre of land." ”
"Okay, no problem."
He Jinhuai agreed very happily.
