Chapter 342 Small Forest
Su Li, who had never farmed before, was very excited: "Then I will go to the government office in the center of the village to rent a piece of land tomorrow. How big should I rent it? Where can I buy rice seedlings?"
"I rented half an acre of land to plant rice, which can be eaten for more than a year. You can also rent half an acre of rice. It's a pity that you came late, otherwise our land would be close together, and it would be convenient to plant."
"There are still some vegetables that need to be replanted. Sister, do you have a greenhouse at home? I remember that tomatoes should be planted in a greenhouse." Su Li slid down from the low table, grabbed a cushion under her body, and lay down on the floor. Looking at the books in front of the window.
Shizi paused: "There is no greenhouse at home. If you want to plant tomatoes in the open air, there is no problem."
"Well... But wouldn't there be continuous rain in summer? Wouldn't the tomatoes turn black and wither? I'll buy a greenhouse! Then other vegetables can be planted in it!" Su Lile's plan Looking at his life as a retired farmer: "I am so excited when I think of farming by myself!"
Seeing the bright smile on his younger sister's face, Shizi shook his head, and laughed too.Although I escaped back at the beginning, the life in the small forest is really beautiful.
The next day, Su Li dug out the rain boots that the original owner left at home five years ago, put on a raincoat and went to the office in the center of the village with Shizi, and talked about renting land.It happened that there were a lot of abandoned farmlands in the east of the village, which even affected the output of the farmlands on the side. The village head was always troubled by these lands, so Su Li rented them at a very cheap price and paid the rent for ten years in one lump sum.The village head also enthusiastically found a second-hand plastic greenhouse for Su Li, and called a few young people to help build the greenhouse on the open space beside the vegetable field in front of the sisters' house.
After the land was rented, the two sisters started working non-stop. They rented a farming machine to plow the land, and then bought seedlings from various families in the small forest and planted them with machines.
"The machine is so good!" Su Li sighed, paralyzed on the floor, she thought it would take a long time to get her half acre of land done!
Shizi nodded: "It is indeed much faster than planting by yourself." She planted the seedlings by herself at the time, and it took a whole day to plant half an acre of land. When she returned home at night, her back hurt like it wasn't her own.However, the sense of accomplishment is also great.
Because they were too tired, the two sisters simply ate mixed wild vegetables and rice for dinner.
Su Li ate two large bowls of rice in a sloppy manner, and fell asleep leaning against the wall with her stomach in her arms.
In the afternoon, Su Li took out a rake from the tool shed and went into the big shed to dig the ground. After turning a small row of land, she was already exhausted.After returning home and drinking a glass of water, I went to dig the ground again.Shi Zi was busy in the vegetable field before home, and the two of them were busy for a whole afternoon.
"Sister, being a farmer is so tiring..." Su Li originally thought that life in the country would be very leisurely, just like when she was in England, she would get up and walk around the woods every day, and sit in front of the fireplace with a book Watch for a while from time to time, instruct the cook to make a few side dishes, drink a cup of warm milk tea with dessert cakes for afternoon tea in the afternoon, and participate in a dance from time to time to dance...
Shi Zi came over and gave Su Li a squeeze on the shoulder, and said about tomorrow's arrangement: "The onions planted are ripe, if it doesn't rain, let's go to the field to harvest onions tomorrow!"
Harvesting onions is not too tiring, but it is not easy either.Because it has entered the rainy season, the soil has become moist and sticky, and it is not easy to pull up onions one by one.Fortunately, the rain stopped these days and a little sun came out.She and Shizi dried the onion leaves and hung them under the eaves.
Then, the small forest started to rain again...
It rained continuously for a week, and Su Li took advantage of this time to tidy up all the floors in the shed.A row of tomatoes and a row of beans were planted inside.The rest of Di Suli randomly sprinkled some melon seeds down, it should be able to grow, right?
When the rain stopped, the sisters wore rain boots and old clothes, took water and towels, and went to the farmland to pull weeds.The rice in the small forest does not use pesticides, and weeding and pest control can only be done by ourselves.If you want to eat more delicious food, you have to work harder!
Moreover, weeding is not a one-time thing. If we pull out the grass today, we will have to continue pulling it out in two days.Until the straw grows higher and higher, the weeding can be paused for a while, and there is no need to pull so frequently.
She was busy every day, and when the rainy season was coming to an end, Su Li found time to find the computer from the suitcase and turn it on, and logged on to the translation website to start the nominal work.As she traveled through life after life, her love for gold, silver and jewelry also deepened.The strange thing is that paper money can buy jewelry, but she doesn't like paper money so much...
When she was sleeping last night, she found the box on the shelf. A box full of large denominations of Japanese currency was enough for her to be comfortable in her life.
Shizi went shopping at the office in the center of the village, while Su Li was left at home by her sister to rest.
The rain that has been raining for half a month has finally stopped today. In the next week, this year's rainy season will be completely over.The rainy season is over, and summer is here.
When Shizi came back, his whole body was soaked in water vapor, and the wooden shovel used to mix the jam at home was also moldy.Although it would be very hot, Shizi still decided to light the stove.By the way, you can also bake a big stove bread.
Su Li helped to go to the place where the firewood was placed and brought a bucket of firewood back to start the stove, which was a bit novel.This was the first time she had encountered such a weather condition.The city is not so humid. In the UK, even in summer, it is not very hot, and sometimes the fireplace is lit at night.Such a humid and sultry weather made her love for rain a little bit less.But just a little bit, she still likes rainy days as always.
When Shizi was about to make bread, Su Li suddenly wanted to eat barbecue.
There is not much meat in the house, but there will be char in the creek behind the mountain, which is a fish that slipped through the net in the camping ground.Su Li thought for a while, put on her rain boots, took a bucket and went out.
Even if the rain stopped for a while, the forest was very humid and hot. Su Li quickened her pace and found the stream connected to the river in the camping ground. Sure enough, she found a few little red puddles in it that were as thick as two fingers. Order salmon.
"Eat all of you!"
Relying on the good skills developed by working hard and mentally during the past few days, the bucket she brought was filled with four char in just ten minutes.
"Sister, let's eat grilled fish! Just bake it on the stove!"
Shi Zi was kneading the dough, looked back at Su Li who was carrying the bucket, nodded, and said with a smile, "Then you do it, let me try your handicraft."
Speaking of which, since Su Li came here, it seems that she really hasn't cooked by herself.
Shizi likes to cook very much, and it's Shizi, a famous cook in the small forest.
Because the cooking table was occupied by Shizi who made bread, Su Li simply squatted by the pool outside and processed the fish.After entering the house, brush a thin layer of oil, spread the salt evenly, and stuff the garlic in the stomach of the char.
"Sister, where is the grill?"
"On the side shelf."
Put the char on the rack and sit by the burning stove. After a while, the smell of grilled fish came out.
Su Li turned the fish over carefully with the clip, and took out her mobile phone to take a few seconds of video and upload it to her social network.She turned Yu Yu again, looked at Shizi who had finished kneading the noodles and was sitting by the bed with a book waiting for the noodles to ferment, and said, "Sister, let's pay attention to each other!"
Shizi looked at Su Li's mobile phone with a cute pink case, closed the book, and showed a strange smile: "If you don't tell me, I'd forget that I have a mobile phone..."
Everyone in the small forest is still used to communicating with each other by phone and letter, and only young people use mobile phones.But now, the young people staying in the small forest are only the two sisters, Kiko and Yuta...
Everyone wants to live in a big city, and she originally thought so too.But the pace of life in big cities is too fast, and the relationship between people is too weak.
So, she fled back...
But her sister was different, she could tell.
In the past half a month, although she was very tired, Su Li has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, with a sweet smile always appearing on her face.Even if I am so tired from weeding that I am about to cry, I wake up full of energy again.
If she gives herself a good definition, she should be regarded as a tough Mori girl.
And her own sister——she glanced at the excited little girl who flipped fish while playing with her mobile phone, and defined it——a vitality girl.
Because of the high heat of the stove, the little char was cooked quickly.
The two sisters each ate one, and the remaining two decided to save it for dinner at night.By this time, the bread was completely ready.Shizi put the bread into the stove, felt the sudden drop in humidity in the room, and expressed satisfaction.
I went out to pick mulberry leaves, and the bread was ready to eat when I came back.
Su Li didn't like this kind of bread without sugar very much. After she ate a slice with jam, she stopped moving. After taking a shower, she went upstairs and turned on the computer to do translation.
After the translation of a short text was completed and sent to the other party's mailbox, she lay on the ground and picked up her phone to swipe it up.There are a lot of likes and comments under the updated video in the afternoon, one of which is from Chiba Ling who I met on the tram.
——It looks delicious, I like your ingenuity.
Because the other party is a handsome guy with long legs and a height of 188, Su Li was in a good mood when she saw this comment.
The author has something to say:
The hero of this world is original, without prototype...
I want to go home and farm every day at work, but when I write about this world, I realize that I don’t even know what season to plant... I only know which food is ripe in which season...
