The brother and sister went out happily.

In the end, one of them came back happily.

"Where's Qiao Qiao?"

Ulan asked.

Song Tan laughed: "Behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big boy coming from the small road behind him. He had a shiny black crew cut and a tall, thin body. He was wiping his tears with his sleeves, feeling wronged, sobbing, and crying...

"Poof!" Wu Lan couldn't help herself and took the basket from his hand with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Oh, look at our Qiao Qiao's cat face, it's so ugly from crying!"

Someone felt sorry for her, and Song Qiao cried even louder.

"Mom... wuwuwu mom... my sister wuwu... my sister doesn't farm well!"

Song Tan was unwilling to take the blame: "Nonsense, I have already sown all the seeds, how come I didn't plant the land properly? Didn't I leave a handful for you to plant slowly?"

Then he explained to Wulan in a low voice: the seeds of Astragalus membranaceus can be directly sown into the soil, but Qiao Qiao only knew how to plant corn, so he insisted on sowing them one by one.

In the end, Song Tan scattered all the seeds, leaving him only a palm-sized space, and a handful of 30 to 50 seeds, leaving Qiao Qiao to sow them one by one...

Song Qiao cried miserably: "But you... But you! You scattered the seeds randomly, and corn won't grow anymore! I..."

He rubbed his face with his sleeves, and his heart became sadder as he spoke: "Mmmmm, mom, my sister... just gave me some seeds, and I planted them very carefully... but there were too few corns, and I couldn't eat enough... "

He stared at Song Tan with tearful eyes: "In the future... I can't afford to support my sister anymore... wuwuwu..."

Oh, this silly baby!

Song Tan's heart softened all of a sudden - no wonder Qiao Qiao cried so miserably, she probably remembered what he said at the beginning about farming to support herself!

As a result, the seeds were scattered everywhere. He must have felt that the corn grown was not enough to eat, so he was sad and aggrieved.

Sure enough, Wulan also glared at her fiercely, and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Qiao Qiao, mom can farm, mom will support you!"

Song Qiao stopped crying, hesitated for a long time, and started crying again: "Then, then I will also support my sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tan had already hugged his shoulders: "Good brother! Good Qiao Qiao! Sister is so touched - come on, stop crying, wipe your face and let's watch Peppa Pig!"

“I can watch two episodes today!”

Eventually, the pink pig put an end to the tears.

Early March.

The third day of the second lunar month is Jingzhe.

All things begin, Cordyceps revives.

Song Tan has been back for half a month.

In the past half month, Song Sancheng and the villagers have almost cleaned up the hillside, and the fields have also become a layer of velvety green.

It was a newly sprouted sweet vetch, with soft green emerging from the brown soil, trembling as if it would break if the wind blew.

The villagers were amazed when they saw it: "The seeds nowadays are not afraid of freezing! Look at this, we used to plant seeds in March, but now they have sprouted."

A dozen or so acres of continuous land are all covered with this furry green, and the fields are uneven in height. At first glance, one can't help but feel happy.

Everyone in the village couldn't help but stop and take a closer look when they passed by.

This is what is meant by "grass appears green from a distance but is not there when you get close".

An old man from the village walked by with his old cow and couldn't help asking, "Tan Tan, when the astragalus grows up, can I take the cow to the field and let it graze?"

Astragalus is nutritious and tender to eat, and cattle and sheep love to eat it! Originally, when cattle were needed to pull paddy fields, they had to eat it every year. Later, they stopped farming and the cattle got old.

No one grows sweet clover anymore.

Song Tan quickly agreed: "Okay, Grandpa Li! When the time comes, you can bring the cows over to the two fields at the bottom and put them in there, and they can eat as much as they want!"

Chinese alfalfa grows fast, so if you start eating it from the green leaves, you can eat it for about a month!

Old Man Li thought for a moment and said, "You're only going to plant these two plots of land this year, right? How about I bring the cows to plow the fields for you?"

A cow plowing a field is definitely not as good as a tiller, and it can only plow five or six acres a day. However, Song Tan's field is only more than three acres, less than four acres!

Otherwise, Old Man Li would be reluctant to do so: "But my ox is old, so I have to plow slowly. You can't rush it."

"I'll plow it for you in two days, okay?"

Song Tan laughed, "Sure! That's great! Grandpa Li, I won't mention the money. I'll give you 50 kilograms of rice when the time comes!"

Old people don’t eat much, and 50 kilograms is enough for nearly half a year.

Old man Li was very happy!

Nowadays, when young people come back, they always ask for money. It’s not that you can’t pay someone when you hire them to do a job, but sometimes it always seems a bit awkward for neighbors to lend a hand.

It’s not that the young people are unwilling to help their fellow villagers, but they don’t know how to do it.

This makes these old people, who are used to the village’s human relationships, always feel uncomfortable.

It’s better to be like Tan Tan.

Besides, the rice you grow yourself must be very delicious!

If you think about it, he hasn’t had it for 10 to 20 years…

I didn't expect that I could eat it again at the last minute.

The old cow seemed to sense his joy and also mooed loudly. Old Man Li patted its head and said, "Go, go, go home! We'll have something delicious to eat soon!"

Song Tan was also thinking:

Milk vetch, green leaves and purple flowers, old cow...

Absolutely beautiful material!

Song Tan had already thought about it, but now with the addition of cows, it would seem more lifelike.

As for whether you can sell products after you become famous - of course you can!

Why is she going through all this if she can’t sell the goods

She can guarantee that once you have eaten here, no one will be able to resist coming back for more.

I have been farming on Yinyue Peak in the back mountain for a hundred years, and I have learned all the skills to eliminate insects and weeds and improve the taste of the crops!

I don’t believe that the vegetables grown with spiritual energy will not have a market!

Moreover, many of the vegetables she plans to grow are durable in storage, and black fungus and white fungus are especially suitable for online sales.

Nowadays, logistics are so developed that in most cities, as long as you are willing to spend money, goods can be delivered the next day, which is enough to meet the needs of online shopping.

Those that cannot be stored for a long time can be consumed locally once they become famous.

She farms first to satisfy her appetite and second to make money.

As for how much money she makes, as long as she can make back her investment, she has no requirements.

With this in mind, there is still a lot to prepare.

In the next few days she has to prepare the filming equipment quickly and also pick up her editing skills. Whether she can become popular in the future depends on this wave!

After thinking for a while, Song Tan stood by the field, moved his fingers slightly, and quietly attracted strands of spiritual energy...

The white mist that is invisible to the naked eye slowly blends into the fields, and the green color of the sweet clover seems to have reached a higher level.

As the breeze blows, the hazy green becomes even more intense.

The roots of sweet clover quickly extract nutrients from the ground, while the pale yellow rhizobia attached to the roots are feeding the field in turn.

Such is the life of nature.

Over and over again, the rhythm repeats itself.
