Busy season

The land is watered in a diagonal breeze and drizzle.

At the beginning of September, everyone starts planting some crops all over the mountains.

While the rain is good.

The plain is full of busy figures.

In this season, should be the harvest season, but the drought, now the fruit on the tree, are growing very small.

But... it's sweet.

Li Yu's area has a subtropical monsoon climate and mainly grows navel oranges and the like.

However, in this dimension, there are many fruit trees that can be planted, so Li Yu planted some other types of fruit trees as well.

It is still raining, the rain has not been big, but has not stopped.

At the edge of the pond, Li Yu went to the mountains with his grandfather to cut grass and feed the fish, and there was not much communication between them.

Grandpa has always been quiet, often silently over there to do things.

Occasionally love to drink two sips of old wine, listen to the drama, half eyes.

In Li Yu's childhood memory, it seems that his grandfather was always silent.

But he remembers that when he went to school in other places, his grandfather prepared a lot of agricultural products from his hometown and a red envelope.

The love of the elderly is often like this, although the words are few, but the action is full of love.

"Grandpa, do you think we need more people at our base? Need to expand?" Li Yu suddenly asked such a sentence, he would like to hear how grandpa will answer.

The sickle in Grandpa's hand paused, raised his waist, and hammered.

He shook his raincoat and finally said, "I'm not sure whether to add some people, your second uncle will think, you can discuss it with him, but people, ambition is good, but you have to know yourself."

There are pros and cons to any choice you make, but sometimes, especially in these turbulent times, you should be careful not to lose control. That'll do."

Grandpa's words did not directly tell him the answer, but to think from another Angle, if some people are added, can they control it and can they afford it? This is the most fundamental.

Li Yu nodded, then swung his sickle and worked hard to cut the grass.

In the rain, cutting grass is a difficult thing, the next week, the grass grew up, the sharp grass, some cut people's hands.

They cut red marks, and then the rain drips, and it itches.

In fact, this rain not only brought life to Li Yu and them.

For more people, this rain is the rain that saves lives.

Some of the more arid places, this rain, they survived.

This rain has been raining for nearly 10 days, and it has been slow and slow.

Sometimes it drizzled, sometimes it was a little heavier, but it was not heavy rain.

Although, the rain is not big, but has not stopped.

I do not know if it is because of the previous drought, but also let the zombies lost their vitality, and now the rain is just a slow down, these days there is no loss of tide.

But what is clear is that there are many more zombies than there were in the dry weather before the rain.

These days, Li Yu also took the base of people, holding the production of arrows, shooting the zombies outside the base, the results found that the effect of these arrows is also good.

That, too, is a surprise.

There are a lot of trees, and if the bullets run out, these arrows can be used continuously.

But the original purchase of composite crossbows is not particularly many, in the initial time to buy 20 ultra-high-end composite crossbows of 50,000 yuan.

And bought 20 pairs of 20,000 yuan a composite crossbow, the quality is also good.

Despite the replenishment later, and the capture of the enemy in the past nearly a year, the number of crossbows in the base is now less than 100.

But, for now, it's possible to do it with a crossbow. '

Time just goes by.

Half a month passed, the time came to the end of September, early October.

It's busy farming time.

In early September, when the rains just began, Li Yu began to gather hands to start planting crops, corn, rice, these are not a problem, one is always watered, the other is that corn is relatively tolerant of drought.

Leafy greens such as lettuce, which have a short growth cycle, are planted in large quantities.

Such as radish, the growth cycle is in a month to two months, also planted, after all, this thing can be stored more convenient.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, it is the busy time of farming.

They began to harvest the rice.

The original threshing machine has long been eliminated, Li Yu stepped on the harvester, harvesting on the rice field.

At the time, some people said he was extravagant, and in the South, it was not cost-effective to buy a harvester.

However, for Li Yu, saving energy is a good thing.

The harvester rumbled and reaped the few acres of the plain.

But in the forest terraces, they need to manually cut.

It takes less than an hour to harvest the 6 acres of land in the mountains.

Ten acres of paddy fields, five acres of corn, two acres of sweet potatoes.

In total, there are more than 20 mu of land for growing staple food.

In fact, a person consumes 500 pounds of food a year. It's safe and healthy.

400-800 pounds range.

If you do not use fertilizer and plant protection measures, the per mu yield is low, can only grow poor crops, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and the like, the south according to two cooked a year, the general annual production capacity of one thousand five hundred catties/mu. So 0.3-0.5 acres is enough.

Northern central plains area two years three crops, an mu of land is 1200 catties/mu. 0.4-0.5 acres is enough.

If agricultural measures such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used, the mu yield of 3,000 jin (of course, all high-yield crops) is enough.

In this place of Li Yu, they can do two or even three harvests a year.

With the current production, they can far meet the needs of their base, and even have more surplus.

Li Yu calculated for a moment, and secretly said to himself, "Fortunately, I had reclaimed a little in the forest at the beginning. If I had followed the original four acres of paddy fields, it would certainly not have been enough."

Busy farming season, but also not so busy, thanks to more manpower, plus their collocation, soon to deal with these foods.

But rice, if you want to preserve a longer time, but also need to be dehydrated treatment, Li Yu they use is the most simple approach, sun.

After drying for almost a whole week, the rice is finally dried.

Packed up and sealed in the warehouse.

They still have to eat the old rice that they have hoarded before, and these new rice, of course, also take out part of it for everyone to taste.

Li Yu looked at the warehouse full of rice, the heart is full of down-to-earth feeling, in these last days, only enough food, can give people a sense of security.
