Uncle Zhang and his wife went back to their hometown yesterday. According to their agreement, Li Yuan can start leveling the land today. Opening the iron gate with the key given by Lao Zhang, Li Yuan looked at the weed-covered land and muttered to himself confidently: "My brother's career will start here!"
However, this vegetable field has been barren for a long time. If you want to grow vegetables, you must first eradicate the wildly growing weeds, then level the land, and finally sow vegetable seeds. So after making a brief declaration, Li Yuan immediately started to work.
Uncle Zhang didn't lie to Li Yuan, and left him all the farming belongings, and put them all in that hut. Li Yuan took out a hoe from the hut and started working against the rising sun.
Don't look at it as simple as it sounds, but it is actually a physical activity. Especially under the scorching sun in summer, it is definitely hard work to level three or four acres of land by manpower.
Fortunately, today's Li Yuan is different from the past. He needs strength and stamina. It is not very difficult for him to do such jobs.
I saw that every time Li Yuan went down with the hoe, he could turn up a large piece of soil and uproot the weeds at the same time. It didn't take long for a large piece of land to be reorganized.
Although Li Yuan usually likes to be lazy and play tricks, but when he really has to work hard, he is not vague. Knowing that this small piece of land will be the beginning of his career, Li Yuan worked very seriously and did not have the slightest thought of being lazy.
When the sun was in the middle of the sky, Li Yuan had already turned over the three-acre vegetable field that Uncle Zhang had reclaimed, and all the messy weeds had been cleared away. The next thing he has to do is to level the land, make the large pieces of soil fine, and spread it as flat as possible, which is conducive to the germination and growth of vegetable seeds.
Compared with the previous weeding, the requirements of this job are more detailed. Just thinning the soil alone is exhausting. Fortunately, Li Yuan's physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so this job is not difficult for him. After a few more hours of busy work, the vegetable field finally looked a bit better.
"Huh... finally finished." Wiping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, Li Yuan heaved a long sigh of relief looking at the leveled land.
It takes one person more than half a day to cultivate more than three acres of land. This efficiency is already amazing, almost catching up with cattle. Fortunately, no one who knows about farming knows about this, otherwise they will definitely think Li Yuan is a monster.
However, it is useless to have a good land. If there is nothing to plant, there will be no output. Although Li Yuan had done a lot of work for most of the day, he didn't feel exhausted, so he decided to buy vegetable seeds while it was still early.
The place where Li Yuan lived was originally the edge of the urban area, as long as he rode a bicycle to the north for half an hour, he would be in the real suburb. There are large farmlands and well-arranged villages here, and of course there are also agricultural resource stations that sell seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
Li Yuan was lucky. After asking two people, he found a large-scale agricultural resource station. Here he bought several kinds of vegetable seeds, then politely rejected the clerk's suggestion to buy more pesticides and fertilizers, and went back satisfied.
Li Yuan was very busy that day, and it was already evening when he got home. Although I really want to spread these vegetables in the fields as soon as possible, there is a more important thing to do before that.
After eating a simple dinner, Li Yuan was about to pour out another golden pearl from the peach pit. If you want to sow seeds tomorrow, you will need golden beads to fly. If there were no magical golden beads, Li Yuan would only plant ordinary vegetables, so it would be better not to plant them.
However, Li Yuan tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't pour out any more golden beads. It looks like last time, the gold beads in the peach pit have been used up.
But this time Li Yuan didn't panic. With the experience from last time, he knew that Jinzhu can be regenerated. As long as the peach pit absorbs the surrounding spiritual energy again, it can pour out golden beads from it again.
Today, seven days have passed since the last time Li Taohe absorbed spiritual energy. If Li Yuan's guess is correct, at midnight today, he will again witness the spectacle that happened seven days ago.
Li Yuan wanted to confirm his speculation very much, even though it was very late, he still didn't feel sleepy, from time to time he looked at the peach pits that were neatly placed on the table.
When the time came to midnight, Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see countless light spots reappear in the room, slowly gathering towards the peach pit in the air. The situation in front of him was almost exactly the same as last time, which made Li Yuan understand that his speculation was completely correct.
This spectacle ended with all the light spots gathering on the peach pit, and the peach pit itself also gave off a faint light. When everything returned to calm, Li Yuan quickly turned on the desk lamp and tried to pour out golden beads from the peach pit.
This time Li Yuan was not disappointed, and he poured out a golden bead from the peach pit smoothly. He carefully put the golden beads in the glass, leaned on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
After witnessing the same spectacle twice, Li Yuan also had a better understanding of the law of peach pits absorbing spiritual energy and producing golden beads.
Just as Li Yuan guessed, the peach core does absorb spiritual energy every seven days. Every time after absorbing the spiritual energy, three golden beads can be produced. As for why Li Yuan was able to pour four golden beads out of the peach pit just after he got it, he regarded this as a preferential treatment for novices. From this point of view, peach pits are quite humane.
With this understanding, Li Yuan also felt relieved. So with a thought, he entered the peach pit space to check the condition of the two ginseng plants transplanted yesterday.
Facts have proved that the peach pit space is indeed a magical place. Compared with the previous planting outside, the two ginseng trees are much more energetic. Although it was only planted for a short day, not only the stems are straighter and the leaves are greener, but also small flower buds have grown on the top, and it seems that they will bloom soon.
This also made Li Yuan sure that the environment of the peach pit space is really good for the animals and plants in it. So he also decided that if he had nothing to do in the future, he would stay inside for a while. After all, the current environment is worrisome. If there is such a paradise, it would be a fool not to use it.
Because it was really hard during the day, Li Yuan slept very deeply that night. Still, he got up early the next day, intending to scatter all the vegetable seeds as soon as possible.
Li Yuan still remembers what Liu Yuebing said, the more types of vegetables the better. So this time he bought not only the seeds of vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans, but also the seeds of leafy vegetables such as green vegetables and spinach.
Li Yuan sowed these vegetable seeds in different plots according to the different varieties, and then it was the most important step in the vegetable planting process - watering these seeds with water that melted gold beads.
However, unlike the last time he tried to grow tomatoes, this time Li Yuan used the golden beads much more cautiously.
