A long time ago, it was already planned to reclaim some fields, and the plan for 4 mu of rice was calculated based on 50 people.

When reclaiming new land, preparations must be made in advance.

The total population now reaches 52, and some new people may be added in the future.

Besides, if you want to plant some other things now, you also need land.

What's more, hybrid rice was planted before. Although the yield was very high, the seeds could not be saved.

Even if you have purchased a lot of high-yield hybrid rice before, and in a low-temperature and dry environment, through scientific storage methods, you can store it for more than three years.

But I can't be completely at ease. Now that the end of the world is breaking out, it is no longer possible to buy hybrid rice. Everything must be prepared, so now I have to start planting some conventional rice that I can save myself.

I had discussed with my grandfather and others before to cultivate terraced fields at the foot of the mountain.

Between the ridges, sections of terraced fields were cultivated.

It's April.

It is the season of early rice planting.

In the base, in the paddy field.

Li Yu also got out of the field, bent down, and planted rice seedlings.

During the recent period, Li Yu has been in a good mood and at peace.

While planting rice seedlings, he wore headphones and listened to songs he had downloaded long ago.

Under the scorching sun, Li Yu was in the paddy fields, listening to the Mandarin version of "Peasants" by Beyond:

Don't look at people building tall buildings overnight

No matter who the heaven prefers more

With my heart and hands

In exchange for a peaceful and comfortable life

Everyone has a sky above their head

There is a field in everyone's heart

Is it a good harvest or a bad year?

Ask about feelings without looking at money

Life may be hard, but facing life, everyone is like a warrior.

Keep working hard for your goals and dreams, maybe you work hard, but there is no result.

Maybe you don’t work hard enough, but only you know.

Don't fight for it, when you don't know what to do.

Just do it first. Sometimes as you do it, you'll be able to see the path you want to take.

someone said:

In this limited life, you have to see all the endless scenery.

So... you have to be on the road all the time.

In the last days, no one knows what will happen the next day or what surprises there will be.

However, the field in your heart must be planted by yourself.

Just like the paddy field Li Yu is standing in now.

Planting rice seedlings, irrigating water, and applying pesticides carefully, all with these hands.

Waiting quietly for the autumn harvest season.

Plant the field in your heart well and be worthy of yourself.

The 4 acres of paddy field was planted very quickly, and with the large number of people, it was all planted in less than a day.

As the sun sets, the sunset glow in the sky turns red, and the clouds seem to be on fire, so gorgeous and colorful, with distinct layers of burning clouds, and the color gradually fades from west to east.

The beautiful scenery on the horizon made Li Yu raise his head to watch. The setting sun stretched Li Yu's figure very long. Li Yu slowly lowered his head and looked at the flat paddy field in front of him, his eyes full of pleasant green.

The inner joy is indescribable.

He enjoyed this peaceful and beautiful life.

After the paddy fields on the plains are fully planted, peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. must be planted as soon as possible according to the season.

April is a good season for planting. In April, you can plant Chinese cabbage, white radish, carrot, sword bean, potato, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, jicama, cucumber, melon, mid-late ripening gourd, yam, alpine eggplant, alpine Peppers, spring cress, jicama, leeks, green onions, bamboo leaves, chrysanthemum, purple cabbage, etc.

However, the reclamation of the terraced fields has not been completed yet, so in addition to still going out to search for supplies and guarding the base, the remaining people in the base are divided into two waves. Some are responsible for planting vegetables, etc., and the other part is cultivating fields on the mountain.

Li Yu was not on duty today. Li Yu went there early in the morning wearing his old clothes.

There are many hills in the south, unlike the plains in the north, so large-scale planting operations are often not possible.

A lot of land in the south is scattered and scattered, so it is difficult to use large machines for planting like in the north.

But Li Yu also has a way. Two of the workers also know how to use excavators, so when reclaiming the land, there is no need for manpower to hold a hoe.

The ground in the mountains and forests is difficult to walk, but a small excavator is convenient and flexible. With the assistance of two excavators, the speed of reclamation is increased several times.

After the excavator dug down the mountain soil and formed a flat land, Uncle Lai and Grandpa directly drove the tractor behind to crush the hard soil and clean up the stones in the soil by the way.

With the help of machinery, 3 acres of land were reclaimed on the mountain on the left in less than an hour. Originally, it might be faster to use a tractor to cultivate in the flat land, but in this mountain, even with the help of an excavator, the speed is still much slower.

But it is much faster than human power.

Three acres of land was the number Li Yu finally decided upon after careful consideration. Although it was not large, it was enough for the present. Although the terraces reclaimed in the mountains can also be used to grow plants, the reclaimed areas are too large and will damage the soil and water balance of the mountain forests.

In addition, after the end of the world, there will be heavy rains from time to time, so the area to be reclaimed should not be too large to avoid causing mudslides.

3 acres is not very big. Compared to these two mountains, it is less than one percent of the area.

If we want to expand the base later, to the outside of the wall, to the forest, the wall will also need to be extended outside. At that time, we can simply cultivate the plain area behind, so there is no need to cultivate a large area on the terrace side for the time being.

After the terraces were cultivated, a waterway was introduced from the mountain pond in the afternoon to irrigate the land here.

The mountain pond is not very deep, and has a U-shaped shape. The deeper it gets toward the center, but the shallower it gets toward the shore.

In this mountain pond, the deepest point is almost 20 meters.

Of these three acres, 1 acre is going to be used to grow corn, 1 acre is going to be used to grow sweet potatoes, and the last acre is going to be used to grow potatoes.

Southerners mainly eat rice, but occasionally they also eat other cereals, and occasionally some noodles.

Barley and wheat are also grown in some places. Many liquors are actually made from barley, and many light-flavor liquors are made from barley.

The raw materials used in Maotai-flavor liquor are mostly sorghum, glutinous rice sorghum.

In Li Yu's base, some wheat was also planted, but it was all winter wheat planted before, and not much was planted, just a small area.

Dig the soil, sow the seeds, water, and water thoroughly.

In the afternoon, Li Yu and his grandfather planted the three acres of land.

Time always passes quickly. Although it is not high at the foot of this mountain, it is higher than the plain below.

The spring day is not hot, and the fragrance of fruit trees is carried in the air by the wind.

The wind blew Li Yu's hair, and he raised his head. His waist was a little sore, but for some reason, looking at the bright sunshine always made him feel so beautiful.

Recently, he has been in a good mood.

This period of time was also the most stable and comfortable time since his rebirth.

Although he had to get up every day to farm and reclaim wasteland, occasionally it was his turn to go outside to search for supplies and so on.

But for some reason, his mood has become more and more peaceful recently.
