The mercenary queen traveled through time and space to ancient times and only wanted to farm

Chapter 246: Xinxin Group Expands Across the Country

Lai Liu suddenly realized: "Master, I understand. The soil at the roots of the corn seedlings needs to be piled higher to prevent them from swaying and falling over when the wind blows."

"Great! What Manager Lai said is absolutely right, and it hits the nail on the head.

The corn seedlings should be transplanted according to this method.

Next, we will start planting eggplants, peppers and tomatoes.

The methods of laying mulch and transplanting are almost the same as those for corn.

However, a transparent house needs to be built for these seedlings.”

After saying that, Chen Qingxin picked up a bamboo strip to build a simple plastic greenhouse.

This bamboo piece is sharp at both ends and slightly curved in the middle.

In addition, a wider and slightly thicker transparent film is available.

Lai Liu was not calm when he saw what was in front of him:

"Master, what are these?"

Chen Qingxin has always had the habit of wearing gloves when doing farm work.

Hearing Lai Liu's question, she threw a pair of gloves to Lai Liu and then demonstrated it herself.

She held tightly onto one end of a bamboo stick, and passed the other end through the gully on the ground to Lai Liu, and told him:

"You see, this is how it is done, sticking the bamboo sticks into the soil.

It is important to ensure that the distance between each bamboo piece is consistent, that their curvatures are the same, and that their heights are even. "

Everyone followed Chen Qingxin's example.

Before long, bamboo strips were neatly inserted along a long ridge, extending all the way to the edge of the field.

"Master, why do you have to use these bamboo pieces to get in the way?"

It was the first time that Beifeng saw such fancy farming.

Chen Qingxin kindly explained:

"Once they have watered the pepper seedlings thoroughly, we will be able to cover them with the film."

"Master, are you sure these films won't be blown away by the wind?"

Suddenly someone in the crowd raised a question.

Hearing this, Chen Qingxin's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a faint smile:

"You are quite clever to have considered this issue.

But don't worry, we have a plan for that.

Next, just use some thin ropes to tightly connect each bamboo piece together.

The specific operation method is like what I am doing now, first wrap the rope around one of the bamboo pieces, then tighten the rope, and extend it to another adjacent bamboo piece below, and wrap it around again.

Repeat this step until all the bamboo pieces are connected to each other."

Everyone started to tie the ropes according to the method demonstrated by Chen Qingxin.

In a short while, the originally independent bamboo pieces turned into a closely connected net.

"Wow, it really has become much stronger after this treatment!

Master, can we officially cover it with the film now?"

someone asked excitedly.

Chen Qingxin shook his head gently and said in a calm tone:

"Don't worry, pull a line on the other side in the same way.

Next you can cover it with film.

Remember to leave the same width on both sides of the film.”

When Lai Liu heard this, he immediately showed a thirst for knowledge, and he asked Chen Qingxin:

"Master, do I need to use mud to press these two sides tightly?"

Seeing this, Nanfeng couldn't help but interrupt:

“Are you stupid?

If it's all compacted, how are we going to water these crops in the future?"

After saying this, Nanfeng shook his head helplessly.

Chen Qingxin raised his hand to stop the two people who were about to argue:

“What Nanfeng said is very true. We cannot use mud to press it this time. We should use bricks instead.

When watering or fertilizing, just lift one side or fix the entire film on top.

Even if we don't water it, we will lift up a small part depending on the weather conditions and then support it with bricks to allow air to circulate in the shed.

Otherwise, the seedlings that grow will be thin and slender, and will fall over when the wind blows, making it difficult for them to bear fruit. "

"Isn't this too complicated?" Lai Liu frowned and said with difficulty.

“Well, the last thing you need to pay attention to is to secure the film diagonally with a string, like tying a beautiful bow on a gift.

Otherwise, this thin layer of membrane will run away like a frightened hare when blown by the wind.

At both ends of the rope, drive the stakes into the ground like tying a sheep, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "

Chen Qingxin explained in detail.

"Tying up the sheep?" Everyone looked confused, as if countless question marks appeared in their heads.

I'm too lazy to talk too much, but judging from the way you look, you must have never raised sheep before.

Then I will kindly explain it to you. This is not a prairie, so we cannot let the sheep roam freely.

So, when raising sheep, they must be tied up with ropes.

In order to allow the sheep to eat grass, there will be a wooden stake at the top of the rope tied to the sheep.

Early in the morning, people would find a place with few obstacles and good grass growth around and drive wooden stakes into the ground.

In this way, the sheep can graze in a large circle with the rope as the radius.

Come back at night to pull out the wooden stakes and take the sheep back.

When I was a kid, I once pulled a sheep pole too hard and sat on the ground. "

Everyone: "Hahaha!"

Chen Qingxin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "The so-called stealing, I think, is to take away a sheep that does not belong to you."

A few people secretly complained in their hearts that their master was really good at deceiving people.

Chen Qingxin said this without stopping his hands.

Everyone listened attentively and followed Chen Qingxin's instructions, whether planting rice, watering, turning the soil, applying fertilizer, or sowing.

Although everyone was sweating profusely, they all had bright smiles on their faces.

Lu Da did not always stay in the guard room. He actively joined the working team.

Since no one is entering or leaving the manor at this time, just close the gate.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, in less than a day, 10 acres of corn were successfully planted and 10 acres were sown.

The reason for choosing part planting and part sowing is to stagger the harvest.

Chen Qingxin plans to sell fresh corn.

A greenhouse with 2 acres of peppers, 2 acres of eggplants and 2 acres of tomatoes.

However, this vegetable greenhouse is a simple version.

People cannot get in, and it is only half a person's height, which can ensure that the vegetables have a high enough temperature to grow quickly.

In addition, 2 acres of potatoes were planted.

Potatoes are planted in the same way as corn, except that plastic film is used.

There is no warming measure for the corn planted at the site because the ground temperature has reached 10c, which is suitable for corn planting.

After a busy day, everyone was a little tired.

Especially those 12 guys who were originally street thugs, have they ever done farm work?

After everyone left, Lu Da also returned to the guard room.

He sat down on the chair, thinking about today's experience, with a lot of emotions in his heart.

“I never thought that I would be able to work in such a beautiful manor and learn so much.

I must work hard and live up to my master's trust."

Lu Da secretly made up his mind.
