Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 99 099 Crazy Farming

The two looked at the tender green seedlings and were slightly intoxicated.

Yang Erlang moved his eyes to the group of small seedlings that had just germinated for two days, and said,
"The basic field will germinate tomorrow."

"Well. The treated seeds will germinate in about seven days, and tomorrow will be the seventh day."

"I guess so." Yang Erlang paused, and then said, "The villagers are not you and me. I'm afraid they will go crazy for a while after knowing the sprouts."

Mu Yu knew that Yang Erlang was telling the truth.

When Taohua first discovered the new sprouts in the backyard, she jumped up and down in surprise and couldn't believe it. She persuaded Taohua for two days before finally letting Taohua accept the reality.

Even so, Taohua still runs to the backyard when she has nothing to do, and spends half of the day in the backyard looking at the seedlings.

She and Taohua ran to the backyard so diligently, of course they couldn't hide it from Mrs. Chen who lived with them.

Mrs. Chen's performance was much more stable than Taohua's, but she was so shocked that she couldn't control her hands and feet. After she explained, although she seemed to accept the reality, she heard Mrs. Chen kneeling and praying in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, there are only three of them living in this stone house, so the only people who know about this matter are the four of them, which did not cause any further commotion and farce.

However, until tomorrow, this matter can no longer be concealed, and there is bound to be a sensation.

Sooner or later, there will be such an encounter, and the two are not very worried.

Yang Erlang got up and said,

"I'll go talk to Ji Xiucai, the corps leader, and ask them to pay more attention tomorrow so that nothing goes wrong."

Mu Yu also nodded and said,
"The villagers will be very excited to see the seeds germinate, and they will probably dig the ground even more frantically.

I have prepared two hundred catties of seeds tomorrow, which should be enough. "

"Should be enough."

……

It turns out that both were thinking too conservatively.

Early in the morning, Mu Yu went out to the edge of the field without eating any rice.

Looking around, on the sloping land, there seems to be a piece of green that is so pale that it is almost undetectable.

She stopped at the edge of the field, squatted down to look closely at the ground, and sure enough, she saw the very small buds, although they were small, they did exist.

sprouted!
She walked along the path and stopped to take a closer look at every field on the side of the road. Basically, new sprouts could be seen in every field, but some were bigger and some were smaller, but they all germinated.

She walked back with a smile, and when she reached the edge of the village, she met a group of villagers walking out with hoes on their shoulders. They must have brought new land to plow.

"Master, how did you come back from outside?"

Mu Yu just laughed and didn't answer their questions.

The fields can already be seen here, such a happy thing, they should let them discover by themselves.

She nodded at them with a smile, and walked over.

These people were not annoyed, and continued to walk forward with their hoes on their shoulders while smiling.

Some people are still curious,

"Could it be a walk? Just like Ji Xiucai took his daughter out for a walk every day?"

At this moment, Wu Gang, who had the best eyes among them, suddenly yelled and ran into the field.

The others were taken aback and looked around thinking what was going on, but saw nothing amiss.

"Scared me to death, Xiao Wu was so startled."

"Yeah, I was shocked. I thought there were wolves?"

"Hey, what is Xiao Wu doing lying on the ground? Isn't there a snake?"

Several people looked at each other, approached carefully with a hoe, and stared at the ground looking for the "snake".

The snake was not found, but it really made them find something.

"Ouch!"

"This is, this is sprouting?!"

Two people discovered this one after another, squatted down, and there was another person who was dull and didn't find anything, asking,

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What sprouted?"

"The food planted has sprouted!"

"How is that possible? It takes ten days to germinate anything. We haven't watered it yet..."

It's just that before the man finished speaking, he saw the sprouts under his feet.
"Ouch! It really sprouted!"

"Sprout! Sprout!"

Several people were very excited, some lay on the ground and watched non-stop, some ran up and down on the road looking around, some muttered to themselves, and some were so excited that they couldn't speak...

When they reacted, they ran into the village one after another, shouting "Sprout, Sprout" while running, and brought the good news back to the village.

The sound of "germinated" resounded throughout the mountain village, and even echoed faintly in the mountains.

For a moment, the whole village seemed to wake up from a deep sleep in an instant, and the doors of every family opened wide, asking each other,

"What sprouted?"

"Did it really sprout?"

Those who got the exact answer ran to the field one after another. After seeing the greenery in the field with their own eyes, they ran back to inform others.

Everyone was shocked, and some even cried with joy, knelt down and cried bitterly.

The village has been lively for a long time.

After the villagers calmed down a bit, they all rushed to Ji Xiucai to continue applying for land and seeds, then rushed to the fields to work crazily, and then came back to apply after finishing...

Mu Yu was surprised the whole time and never stopped, it was much more crazy than she imagined.

This is just sprouting.

This germination brought them hope, and then they frantically plowed the ground and sowed like tireless...

The people on this land really carve farming into their bones, and it has become an instinct.

Now it's all right, she doesn't have to worry about finding tasks for these people to do, everyone has gone crazy farming, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Just like that, the day seems to be set, and it will basically be a simple day after day.

The slopes around the village were being applied for at an extremely fast speed, and soon there were not many left.

The same is true for the seeds, gradually unable to keep up with the speed of the villagers digging the ground and planting seeds.

Mu Yu had to spend a lot of time processing seeds in the space to barely keep up with the consumption of the villagers.

It's kind of sweet hard work.

The seedlings grow fast and are full of vitality. No matter how tired or annoying they are, they can instantly become happy. Everyone has a smile on their faces.

Old man Zhao wanted to sit by the field every day, but he had to look at the well and couldn't walk away, so Mu Yu planted a handful of seeds in the open space by the well, so that old man Zhao could see the seedlings every day.

Although the old man Zhao complained about her wasting seeds once, he sat there happily every day.

In addition to these, after the villagers knew that the ancient methods of Heshan Village allowed them to have their current lives, they offered to build graves for the people of Heshan Village, and spontaneously knelt down and worshiped to show their gratitude.

Time passed quickly, and it was a month later.

It took a month for this crazy farming situation to gradually subside.

It was already mid-October at this time, and it took about three months for millet to mature, and it would be impossible to grow it if it was sown again.

The frenzied farming for more than a month has achieved remarkable results, and the harvest has been huge.

The villagers planted nearly [-] mu of land near the village, which was beyond Mu Yu's expectation.

Listening to the numbers alone is not intuitive enough. Every time Mu Yu stood on the high ground overlooking Taoyuan Village, and looked at the small village surrounded by patches of greenery, he would lament the madness of the villagers.

This is much better than she thought, this wave of harvest will make them rich, and they won't have to worry about food for the next year!

With this confidence, Mu Yu is also very domineering when dealing with food shortages.
