Before going back to the backyard to continue mowing the grass, she mixed some cornmeal for the chickens and put it in, thinking they would eat it by themselves.
She cut almost three-thirds of the grass in the backyard before she saw the hens with chicks in the corner of the backyard, and also picked up a nest of wild eggs.
She also found out why there was a gap in such a high fence for pheasants to come in and live in. It turned out that the yard had been uninhabited for a long time and was being repaired, so the wall of the backyard collapsed from the rain and a gap was created. The pheasants might also be there. Flying in from here.
She caught the pheasant and brought it back to the front yard, where she put it with the chicks. She went back and cut the rest of the grass.
After the mowing, the backyard looks much spacious. The soil quality here is very good. It seems that it was originally used as a vegetable garden.
There is almost half an acre of land here, which can grow enough vegetables for her to eat alone. She can also plant some corn and potatoes in half of it without turning it over to the village.
She stood the cut grass by the wall to dry the dew. She washed her hands and went into the kitchen to cook lunch. After lunch, she went back to the house to rest for a while, fed Yaya once, washed her butt and changed it. After putting on diapers and coaxing her to sleep, she got up and went to the backyard to dig the ground.
First, use a weeding hoe to shovel the surface, and then use the hoe to turn over the soil.
She had been working in the backyard all afternoon, and she had only turned over half of the ground, and she was still very tired.
If it weren't for the fear that the earth-turning machine in her space would be too loud and attract the villagers, she wouldn't be willing to dig the ground with her own hands like this.
After a tiring day during the day, she planned to reward herself for dinner. She simply went into the kitchen, heated up a pot of water to wash her feet and added a thermos, then she took Yaya into the space.
After putting the child on the bed and continuing to sleep, she went to take a shower and changed her clothes. She threw the changed clothes into the washing machine and washed them. Then she went into the kitchen and started preparing her own dinner.
In the evening, she prepared hot pot for dinner. She prepared the bottom of the pot, picked some vegetables from the space vegetable patch, cleaned them, and took a box of mutton rolls, beef rolls, shrimp paste, crab roe buns, and fish. Take out half of the pills and put them on a large plate, put them on the table, plug in the electricity and start cooking and eating.
The fatigue from a day's work was instantly dispelled by this hot pot meal.
After finishing the hot pot, she was both physically and mentally satisfied. She put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher and washed them. She went to hang up the washed clothes and then went to feed the animals raised in the space.
After finishing, I went to wash up and go to bed to rest.
One night passed, and the next day she got up early and exercised in the space. She also made breakfast for herself and Yaya. After Xiao Yaya fell asleep again, she took her out of the space.
She burned the kang at home, and soon the room became warm. She put Yaya on the kang to sleep, then went out of the house and continued to plow the ground in the backyard.
After working all morning, I finished plowing the backyard. Then I made lunch, took a rest, and played with little Yaya for a while when she woke up. After she fell asleep, she searched from the space. After some potatoes have sprouted, use a sterilized knife to cut off all the sprouts on the potatoes.
She planned to use half of the land in the backyard to interplant potatoes and corn, and the remaining half to make ridges and plant various vegetables. The melons and fruits were planted against the wall.
The small courtyard is built at the foot of the mountain. Except for the morning sun, it is not exposed to the sun from noon to afternoon when the sun sets.
So when you grow vegetables against the wall, you don’t have to worry about the lack of light for these vegetables.
After cutting all the potato sprouts, she took out a small bag of fertilizer from the space and carried it to the backyard.
First, lay a trench for planting potatoes, spread fertilizer over it, and then place the potatoes in the trench with the potatoes facing up. The spacing between each potato is about 12 to 3 centimeters.
After everything was put in, we started to build it. Fang Nuo was building it. He remembered that when he and his grandma were in the countryside, they also planted potatoes together. At that time, grandma was afraid that she was young and didn't know how thick the soil should be covered, so she told her, To cover the fat pig's back.
There were a total of ridges of potatoes planted in the backyard, and it didn’t take much time to cover them all.
Seeing that it was still early, she lit all the corn for interplanting. This was very simple. She wore a smock with a big pocket and put the corn seeds in her pocket. Then she dug the corn and lit it while digging the nest. Covered.
After several trips, all the corn has been planted.
After everything was done and it was still dark, she went to divide the other half of the land into areas and lay ridges. Whatever vegetables were to be planted, she would plant them one ridge after another.
I thought that some vegetables should be soaked first, then raised, and then transplanted to the ground after the seedlings grow to a certain size.
After putting all the tools back in the tool corner in the kitchen, she went back to the house and took out the various seeds she wanted to plant, including screw peppers, string peppers, sky peppers, persimmons, small tomatoes, broccoli, and white peppers. Cauliflower, eggplant, pumpkin, cucumber, melon.
If these require seedlings, soak them in water for a few minutes, wrap them in a damp cloth, and put them in a dark place to wait for germination.
After she finished doing this, she heard a chicken crow outside the door, and then she remembered that she had picked up a nest of pheasants yesterday.
She didn't feed the pheasants all day today because she was afraid that the pheasants would be starving. She hurriedly got off the kang and went out to look through the cracks in the bamboo basket. She saw that the chicks were fine, but the hen seemed to be hungry. No spirit at all.
She quickly took out the cornmeal, added some feed from the space, mixed it well and poured it into them. To avoid making them thirsty, she used other things and put some water in it.
After feeding the pheasants, she went into the kitchen and cooked dinner for herself.
There are also wild eggs picked up yesterday and some cabbage and radishes brought by Aunt Dahua the day before yesterday.
Thinking that there were vermicelli in the space, Fang Nuo took out some, boiled some hot water, and soaked the vermicelli.
Then she went to knead the dough and put it on the kang in the room to rest. After a while, it was ready. She kneaded the dough to deflate the air, rolled it into round fat balls, and put it on the steamer to rest.
Here, also clean and cut the cabbage into sections, clean and cut the radish into shreds, and cut a few slices of bacon. Put a little oil in the pot, stir-fry the bacon, then add ginger and garlic and stir-fry for a few times, then add Add the shredded radish and cabbage segments, stir-fry a few times, add the vegetable water, boil and add the soaked vermicelli, then put the steamer on, cover and steam for ten minutes.
The fire over there must also be controlled well, otherwise the soup in the pot will dry up before the time is up, otherwise the pot will be burnt, and the pot of vegetables and steamed buns will be ruined.
After the food was out of the pot, she picked up the steamed buns and put them in a basin. She took out the two she wanted to eat today, and locked the rest in the cupboard. If she wanted to eat later, she could just steam and heat them.
He scooped up a bowl of food and served it, then took the steamed buns and chopsticks and went to the room.
She placed a small low table on the kang so that she could eat alone.
Putting all the food on the table, she took off her shoes and got on the kang. Looking at some light dishes, she took a chili from the space, roasted it until crispy at the mouth of the kang stove, then crushed it with her hands and put it in the vegetables. A little spicier and more appetizing.
