However, by the time Zhang Yanping reacted and wanted to refute, Song Tan had already gone to the fields.
When it comes to digging, no one in the family can compare to her.
She found a corner in the top field, picked up a hoe and started working.
In just an hour or so, all the sweet clover on the land had been turned into the field, and then the soil clods were broken up and the leek roots were replanted.
The leeks were pulled out and left bare, which was particularly pitiful.
She moved her fingers slightly, and silently, a stronger spiritual energy surged over. She narrowly blocked it and only gave a part of it to the leeks, while the rest diffused into the field of astragalus flowers.
The spring breeze blows, the green leaves sway, and soon you can see the flower buds on the top of this sweet vetch begin to sprout rapidly, and then hold the buds ready to bloom.
Sweet clover grows rapidly. Standing in the field, you can almost hear the crackling sound of the flower buds trembling.
Song Tan was very satisfied. He took a bucket to the pond to scoop water to water the leek roots he had just planted. At the same time, he was thinking that from tomorrow on, the bees would no longer have to surround the poor cherry tree and bother it anymore.
Right here, a whole field of astragalus is enough for now.
Oh, how should I sell this sweet clover honey then
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look forward to it.
…
This field has not been tended for a long time, and even though it is planted with sweet clover, the growth is poorer than in other fields.
Song Tan pinched a handful of soil and observed it carefully. Finally, he decided not to bother with it anymore - this place could be used to grow watermelons!
Watermelon loves sandy land and has a strong ability to adapt to soil conditions. It is truly a must-have in summer.
Although large-scale watermelon cultivation now uses pumpkin grafted seedlings, small-scale farmers don't really need to do that.
Song Tan did not forget that she farmed for money on the one hand and to meet her daily needs on the other hand so that she could have a comfortable meal!
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to have more varieties rather than expanding the scale.
What's more... there really is no one left!
Alas, this is what happens nowadays, with advanced technology and so many people!
If she was at Yinyue Peak, she would be taking care of the spiritual fields in the entire back mountain by herself, and she would never be so worried about the shortage of labor.
However, there is a shortage of labor now, and the village is still full of elderly people. Even if some jobs can earn money, they still have to be combined with technology.
For example, sprinkler irrigation, system management...
As I was thinking, a green shadow suddenly appeared in front of me!
Song Tan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He reached out and grabbed the tender green grasshopper lying on the sweet clover in front of him.
"You have a sharp tongue!"
There's just a little more spiritual energy here, and already the bugs can't wait to taste it.
If this continues, no matter how much spiritual energy she gives, it will not be enough to defeat the endless insects and birds flying in all directions!
After all, spring is here and flowers are blooming, so all kinds of birds and insects are coming, which will interfere with the bees' collection of nectar.
Song Tan does have some corresponding magic that he can use, but doesn't he have to be low-key
In that case…
This field will be used as a preliminary test field. Tomorrow, we will attract bees and release chickens and ducks. Then we can secretly use magic to see if the effect of insect removal and repelling is natural and good enough.
…
By the time Song Tan and Qiao Qiao finished tidying up the vegetable garden, the setting sun had already cast an orange glow on the hillside.
When I got home, Zhang Yanping was still half lying on the chair.
The afternoon sun was warm, he was lying there, covering his face with a straw hat he had dug out from somewhere, three puppies were crawling all over him, humming and humming, and from time to time they would nod their furry little heads a few times, it was warm and cute, the scene was so cozy.
However, this does not change the fact that everyone is busy and he is the only one who is idle.
But Song Tan was not in a hurry at all.
Her cousin was a real foodie with a stubborn temper. Forcing him to do anything would be a very bad idea.
But if it's about food...
Tsk! I'll make him cry and shout to get out of bed tonight!
Song Tan looked at the seeds that had been soaked in advance for germination, and applied a little spiritual energy to them. The buds of the seeds became fuller and swollen, and she took out the seeds.
"Let's go, Qiao Qiao. You can rest after you finish planting the vegetables."
Qiao Qiao looked at the three puppies reluctantly and said, "Sister, can you take the puppies with you?"
"No." Song Tan shook her head: "They are too small, and they will get dirty if they step on them, which will affect our work. Sister will accompany you, let's move quickly, and you can come back to play with the puppies later."
Qiao Qiao said "Oh" in disappointment, and then his attention was diverted: "When I come back, I want to name the puppy!"
"Okay, go ahead and get them. I'll make some dog tags for them."
Qiao Qiao really got excited: "I want to hang one too!"
Song Tan laughed - as expected the mother pig had fallen out of favor, and now it was the puppies' turn.
But then I thought, Qiao Qiao goes out more often now, so it's time to carve a sign with her contact information.
She also agreed:
"Okay, if you work hard on the farm, you can make four cards with your wages this afternoon."
Zhang Yanping was resting with his eyes closed, but he couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this.
"Tan Tan, look at Qiao Qiao, he's working so hard, sweating all over, how much do you pay him?"
And they even used dog tags to coax money back? This is the essence of capitalists!
However, before Song Tan could answer, Qiao Qiao had already puffed out her chest proudly: "Fifty!"
Fifty?!
Zhang Yanping couldn't hold it anymore.
He never thought that one day fifty dollars would make such a big difference!
The soil in the vegetable garden was dug and broken up with a lot of noise. You could tell how hard it was by looking at the mud on Qiao Qiao's rain boots.
This little brat is still happy!
Seeing Qiao Qiao's proud look again, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I am a villain in vain. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Qiao Qiao, do a good job!"
Qiao Qiao nodded solemnly: "Brother, don't worry. When I finish sowing, I will have money and I will buy you bubble gum."
Zhang Yanping: ...Thank you for the bubble gum!
…
It is not difficult to sow Chinese cabbage. You don’t even need to make ridges. Just sow the seeds directly, and then use a hoe to cover them with some soil. That’s it.
The brother and sister finished the huge vegetable garden in less than half an hour.
Just at this time, Song Sancheng went up the mountain again carrying the pig food bucket, and the tea pickers on the mountain also came down one after another.
Wulan walked in the front, with a very high spirit.
Can it be less expensive
Whenever she thought about the current price of tea, she felt that she was not picking tea leaves, but picking up money!
Pick up money! Does anyone feel tired of picking up money
She will just feel that she has picked up too little.
So, at noon, she was irritated by this annoying old man and wasted some time. Others picked five kilograms, but she only picked four and a half kilograms.
But the good thing is that no matter who picked it, it will eventually belong to the family. After a simple accounting, she began to roll up her sleeves and said, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
