Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

Mu Qingli smiled and said: "Having more friends is also a good thing. It seems that the fight with the Jiuli people was not in vain."

Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "That's true! If it weren't for this, the Ivy Department probably wouldn't look at us."

Village Chief Zhao said again: "The Ivy League is here. I'm afraid there will be other tribes coming too. Shouldn't we prepare for it? Now that they are here, we don't even have a place to entertain them, and it's nothing. Gifts are so good in return, it makes us seem to be very ignorant of etiquette."

The arrival of the people from the Ivy Department was indeed too sudden, not to mention Village Chief Zhao, even Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen did not expect that someone would take the initiative to visit them.

But he brought a heavy gift, and Village Chief Zhao could only take out a few pieces of animal skins after much deliberation. Thinking about it, such a gift outside seems a bit too shabby, so he simply didn't take anything with a thick face, thinking about waiting for Da Cun When he grows back, let the head of the village bring someone back to visit the Ivy League and then bring a big gift.

The village head should be expert in this kind of thing.

It took several days to sort out more than 3,000 mu of land, and the canal was also dug.

The bottom of the canal was also carefully beaten with hammers and stone sticks, and inlaid with green bricks, making it very smooth and easy to take care of in the future, without growing too many weeds. On the other hand, the two sides were rammed with soil to make them firm and smooth.

A dark ditch was set up to divert water from a stream not far away into the main canal, and finally flow out from a corner.

Next to the main canal, Mu Qingli also asked someone to leave a distance of about one meter, so that some trees can be planted in the spring.

Peach trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, loquat trees, orange trees and other fruit trees, or osmanthus trees, magnolia trees, willow trees, evening primroses, etc. are all fine.

In addition to the side of the main water canal, some can also be planted occasionally beside the side canal.

Although land reclamation is a very hard work, but seeing that the more than 3,000 mu of land has been organized flat and clean, with water canals criss-crossing, I imagine that all crops and vegetables are planted, and they will be able to eat them in a short time. When buying fresh vegetables from the market or from the villagers, one by one is very excited and full of sense of accomplishment.

"Hey, can we really grow such vegetables ourselves?" Someone said in disbelief.

Someone smiled proudly: "Of course, look at how good the land we have built! Qingli said that you can grow vegetables, sweet potatoes and peanuts, and so on, it must be the same!"

I also heard Mu Qingli gesturing that next spring, when fruit trees are planted, the flowers will look beautiful in spring, they will provide shade after working in summer, and they can eat fruits in autumn, so everyone will be happier.

Now that the land has been tidied up and the canals have been filled with water, Mu Qingli led them to start farming.

In fact, it is too late to plant anything at this time, and the fruit will not be very big by then, but it would be a waste if not planted, so it is still necessary to plant.

One thousand mu is used to grow various vegetables, mainly beans, lettuce, cabbage, radish, and some other leafy vegetables.

The climate in the southwest is humid, which is different from that in the north. The temperature in the coldest winter is around five or six degrees to seven or eight degrees above zero, so many leafy vegetables can survive the winter safely.

The colder the weather, the more green and pleasing the various vegetables in the field look, and the better they grow.

Southwesterners have no shortage of fresh vegetables to eat in winter.

On the contrary, the various vegetable seeds sown in this season will not grow very well, maybe only two or three inches high, and they will attract countless insects to eat up the tender vegetable leaves.

However, beans, lettuce, radishes, etc. can be planted at this time.

As for those leafy vegetables, let’s scatter the seeds first. If they don’t grow big, they can’t grow big. It’s good to eat fresh and tender vegetable seedlings.

It's much more convenient and better than picking wild vegetables, right?

They have lived here for so long, even though the southwest forest is rich in plum resources, the wild vegetables in the nearby mountains and valleys have almost been found, and now they have to go deeper into the forest under the protection of the guards.

Fortunately, now that Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen have agreed with the vendors in Minzhou City to deliver every four days, although they can't supply all of them, the pressure is somewhat relieved.

No matter how prosperous Minzhou City was, it was an ancient time with low productivity and low output, and underdeveloped transportation that could not be transported from farther away. It was difficult to fully afford the meals of more than 6,000 people.

There are a lot of vegetable seeds, and it is easy to buy. There are space bracelets and cliff eagles, so you can go farther to buy them, so don't worry too much.

For the remaining 2,000 mu, Mu Qingli planned to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and corn.

There are not many potatoes, and Mu Qingli did not find potatoes as a crop in this era, which surprised her. This is a good thing!

However, there are not many in her space. After a rough calculation, it weighed about two hundred catties.

If it weren't for the large space and the storage of things starting from a hundred or a few hundred catties, it would not be possible to store so much at all.

She plans to use all of these potatoes for planting.

Get them out of the space and put them in the shade and water them a little to let them germinate. Cut the germinated potatoes into several pieces, let them dry, and then plant them one by one.

Although it has come to this season, the best growth period of potatoes has passed, and the fruit will not be too big in autumn, but if more than two hundred catties are planted, it will not be a problem to harvest three or four thousand catties, right?

These can all be used as seeds to be planted in large quantities next year.

Peanuts are not edible, but they are good when fried, boiled, stewed, stuffed, or squeezed for oil. Three hundred acres were planted.

A lot of corn has been planted, and this is also an experiment to see how much will be eaten by birds and how much can be harvested.

It grows on the ground, close to the forest, and it will definitely be spoiled by birds when it is mature.

As long as you can harvest more than half, it is worth planting.

Adding up these three, more than 1,200 mu were planted, and the remaining 800 mu were all planted with sweet potatoes.

There are some corners left, and you can stuff some ginger, onion, garlic, and leeks.

It is hard to say whether ginger and garlic can grow well at this time, but green onions and leeks do grow well.

Both of these are things that can grow after being pinched.

The green onions are used for seasoning, so they can’t be fried, at most it’s a shallot egg. Leek is a good thing, fried. It can be made into soup or stuffing, and it grows fast. As long as you are willing to water and fertilize, it will grow a large piece of fresh and tender in half a month. It can be regarded as the main vegetable blindly.

The sweet potatoes had to grow seedlings first, so it would be slower, so Mu Qingli planned to go to Qingshan Town to buy sweet potato vines.

Use sweet potato vines for cuttings.

So, he led the women to sow the seeds for two days, and after the others were almost planted, Mu Qingli took Mu Sangu and other five or six women to Qingshan Town. Zhou Dali, Da Zhuang, and Heitan helped drive the car .
