The Big Landlord

Chapter 4 No Land to Grow Vegetables Over the Highway

Farming life suddenly had hope again. Wang Ben just felt full of energy and did what he said. He trotted all the way to Xiaoxing Town. After simply eating some steamed buns and porridge, he went straight to the market.

I have too little money, and I can't do too much work. I spent more than 80 yuan on a series of daily necessities such as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, toothpaste and toothbrush, and then bought it at the price of 2.5 yuan per catty. I bought 30 catties of buckwheat, and I spent 5 yuan to buy a basket. So far, the king has only 30 yuan left. The growth of buckwheat is relatively slow. Even if the nutrients in Linglong's ring space are used, it will take at least half a month. In order to harvest, these 30 yuan can't be able to spend so many days for them.

Looking at the few bills he had, Linglong couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Brother Ben, do you want Linglong to only eat rice every day?"

"No, I'm sure you have meat to eat every day," Wang Ben patted his chest and said confidently.

When he came to a grain and oil store, he shouted loudly, "Boss, bring ten catties of mung beans!"

Linglong finally woke up and asked uncertainly, "Brother Benzi, are you going to make mung bean sprouts?"

"Let's be smart!" Wang Ben squeaked on his pink nose and laughed.

Without land, he can think of the fastest way to solve his life, which is to grow mung bean sprouts and sell them. Normally, the bean sprouts can be grown in a few days, and half a day after using the nutrients is enough, but the profit of these mung bean sprouts is too low to make much money. Money, he has absolutely no interest in operating it wholeheartedly.

After buying ten catties of mung beans at a unit price of two yuan, Wang Ben has ten yuan left in his body, but he can't spend any more, otherwise he will go home and shave white rice as Linglong said.

Holding Linglong in one hand and the burden in the other, Wang Ben felt very relaxed as he left the market leisurely, weighing dozens of pounds on his shoulders. After all, he is a child who grew up in a rural area and has worked in farm work for many years. Down.

When I got home, I went to the rice farm with dozens of catties of millet. At this point, everything was ready. Not only was it ready to fire, but it also looked like home.

After lunch, Wang Ben couldn't wait to plant buckwheat. He poured the buckwheat seeds into the bucket, poured out the nutrients from the exquisite space, and began to gradually add it to the bucket. According to the introduction in the space, the color gradually returned to normal. The original color is a reminder of reaching the concentration. Just soaking for a period of time will have the effect of accelerating growth.

There are too few seeds at this point, and it doesn't take much nutrients at all, and even a fraction is enough.

Ignoring the hot weather, they brought seeds and bamboo shovels. They set off on the road with great enthusiasm and started a formal farming life, occupying the road and planting buckwheat.

Buckwheat has been regarded as a good meal on the dinner table since ancient times. Because of its small output and high edible value, it has always been included in the list of high-end vegetables. It is known as "Ganoderma lucidum in dishes". It has a history of 3000-4000 years. When the soup is planted and eaten, it is customary. Not only is it white and transparent in appearance, but it also tastes soft and glutinous, crisp and tender without residue, and has a strong aroma. It also contains a variety of nutrients, and has certain medicinal and health value, which can treat and prevent various diseases.

As an extremely drought-tolerant crop, the planting of buckwheat is not complicated. It can be grown completely without irrigation. Apply basal fertilizer, put the buckwheat on it, and cover it with a few centimeters of soil. After that, it does not require much management. If you want to save trouble, you can ignore it in the later stage and just wait for the harvest. For Wang Ben, with the nutrients in the exquisite space, even the base fertilizer can be saved, which is extremely simple.

The sand on both sides of the road is easy to operate,

Using a bamboo shovel, you can pry open a hole a few centimeters deep, put the buckwheat seed in it, and then loosen the bamboo shovel, the sand will be naturally covered up, and a seed will be planted. seconds, very efficient.

Estimated the distance, planted a seed every ten centimeters or so, and soon he planted half a mile along the road from the Xiushuiwan to the city, and the seeds were also planted about a kilogram. If the speed goes down, most of the seeds can be planted in half a day today.

Unwilling to be lonely, Linglong followed her all the way, squatting down and watching Wang Ben's process of planting buckwheat. After only a few plants, she fully understood. She said sweetly, "Brother Ben, let me put the seeds."

"You'd better go to enjoy the shade under the tree, your beautiful dress will be soiled later," Wang Ben wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his arm and smiled.

"Don't be afraid, when Brother Benzi earns money, buy me more and more beautiful clothes, hee hee," Linglong said with a smile, seeing that Wang Ben had just opened a small hole, Fandudu's little hand hurriedly picked up one The buckwheat seeds were put in, and they naturally joined the vegetable growing team.

From a distance, the two figures squat and move beside the road, going round and round.

Cars pass by, bringing up billowing dust and smoke. Perhaps because of this reason, there are few pedestrians on the road, and they prefer to walk on the country trails with fresh air and tree-lined trees. Even if there are occasional passers-by, they are in a hurry in this hot weather. And go, and won't stop to pay attention to them at all.

It didn't take long for them to be covered with thick dust and soaked with sweat, like two clay figurines, but this did not affect their enthusiasm for planting vegetables at all. With the addition of Linglong, the speed was even faster. They planted seven or eight miles along the road, and half of the buckwheat seeds were lost.

Switching to the other side of the road, they started planting back. Before the sun went down, all the buckwheat heads had been buried in the soil, so they returned to the outside of Xiushuiwan, and they didn't even delay their journey.

Once the buckwheat is planted, you only need to take a look every day. As long as no one deliberately destroys it, the harvest will definitely be considerable. Wang Ben doesn’t want to do too much post-production management. That’s not his original intention, hurry up and enjoy life. how nice.

Looking at the masterpieces on both sides of the road, he nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but admire himself a little. Except for him, it is estimated that not many people dare to think about it, and few people dare to do it.

Seeing that there was still time, he went home to work on the bean sprouts again. If the buckwheat head is a long-term goal, this mung bean sprouts project is the source of solving the recent life problems. In the half month before the buckwheat head is mature, it must be relied on. In order to continue to maintain a quality of life.

Pour ten catties of mung beans into a bucket, soak them in water that has been added with nutrients, and cover them with a thick cloth. It originally took ten hours to germinate, but in less than two hours, all the mung beans had tender buds, which was very gratifying.

Spread a layer of sandy soil at the bottom of the two baskets, immerse it in water one centimeter deep, then spread two pieces of cloth on the soil, and sprinkle the mung beans evenly. At this point, all the pre-processes have come to an end, and the harvest will be done tomorrow morning. Bean sprouts will do. In the current weather, the indoor temperature at night is about 20 degrees, which is very suitable for the growth of bean sprouts.

A day in the country life passed like this, full of joy, full of hope, full of yearning.
