Chapter 0162 I love farming!

Ye Qing walked on the embankment of the moat.

The water celery planted in shallow waters by the river has grown.

On this virgin land without competition, water celery grows lushly.

Shuiqin, the tribe members have already started to collect and eat it.

Several women are picking celery.

They chose the most plump celery, and while picking, they commented, commenting on this one being more plump, and that one needs to be picked next time.

When encountering some water celery that grows extremely prominently, it will arouse their exclamations and praise.

The baskets they were carrying were gradually filled with exclamations, joy, praise and comments.

They were very happy and had a smile on their faces.

They have already realized the benefits of growing wild vegetables.

In the past, when collecting, you not only need to search carefully, but also need to carry weapons and be prepared for the sudden appearance of wild beasts and snakes and insects.

Now, it's different.

Just eat vegetables and pick them by the river.

Not only is it fast, convenient, but it is also safe enough without any danger.

And the effort is insignificant, just collecting the roots of the water celery from the wild and throwing them around the river.

Too worth it!

The tribe members began to love planting!

The tribe members understood another way of survival, a safer and more efficient way of survival than fishing, hunting and gathering.

The willow branches that have been inserted have also grown new branches.

The tender green branches and willow leaves are reflected in the clear and calm water, adding a bit of scenery to the bare river bank.

It can be imagined that in the near future, these willow branches will grow into willow trees, and the bare river bank will turn into a long green embankment.

The straight long embankment and neat willow trees can’t be seen at first sight. What a beautiful scenery it would be at that time!

On the outside of the moat, the width is nearly two miles away, and there are square rice fields of the same size.

A pond like a mirror, occasionally adorning it.

In the rice fields, straight ditches start from the river bank under your feet and extend to the distance.

In the rice fields, seedlings are growing lushly and have begun to tiller in large quantities.

The green seedlings are connected into a piece, and the mud of the field is no longer visible, and are covered tightly by the seedlings.

The newly built ridges and weeds began to grow sparsely, covering the ridges with a thin layer of tender green.

In the middle of the ridge of the field, the green leaves a gap, revealing the true color of gray-black mud.

That is the way the tribe members often walk and step out.

In the rice fields, some people were pulling weeds with bamboo sticks.

The tribe members who flew grass, including men, women, and children under ten years old.

Weeding means weeding.

The tribe members standing in the rice fields, with bamboo sticks in one hand, and one foot stands independent and one foot stretches out. They apply back and forth on the surface of the mud among the seedlings, trampling the weeds that emerge into the mud.

The weeds that just grew were not long. They smeared the soles of the mud, and buried the weeds in the mud.

Only the Polygonum grass, which still has rhizomes, grow rapidly and is almost as tall as the seedlings.

Even if such a bean grass is stepped into the mud, it will not die. The tribe members will uproot the bean grass and throw it onto the ridge of the field.

In the past, rice planting was planted with live seeds. The mud in the rice fields was formed into pieces and the mud could not be pulled with your feet.

Weeding can only be pulled by hand.

Now, after the rice fields are carefully cultivated by plows and rakes, not only are there much less weeds than before, but weeding is also much easier.

The field mud after cultivation also becomes delicate. With one stroke of the foot, weeds that grow on the surface of the mud and have unstable foundations can be buried in the field mud.

Ye Qing looked at the tribe members standing in the rice fields and were very satisfied.

After pulling it twice, the weeds basically no longer exist.

Without the competition for weeds, the growth of rice will have more nutrients, and the harvest will naturally be more.

The improvement of productivity is in the process of improvements bit by bit.

Pulling weeds is undoubtedly much more efficient than before, bent down and pulled by hand.

Not only is the efficiency of weeding, but the tribe members are also more relaxed.

Artificial weeding, this weeding method, is the most efficient weeding method that can be achieved at present.

This method of weeding was used for thousands of years. It was not until the invention of herbicide that people bid farewell to artificial weeding.

Ye Qing looked into the inside of the moat.

After a long period of time of deforestation, the originally dense forests were divided into pieces.

The gaps in the woods become smooth roads.

The wide part is where the house is ready to be built.

The woods became very sparse, too.

Pines, oaks, willows, cataracts, etc., can only be used as wood and are all cut down.

What are left are chestnut trees, sour jujube trees, persimmon trees, peach trees, plum trees and other fruit trees.

As well as mulberry trees, osmanthus trees, pepper trees, tung trees, palm trees and other trees that have more uses.

The shrubs and thorns in the woods were even cleaned up.

The dense jungle that was once unable to walk, covered with snakes, insects and wild animals has now become a sparse and empty artificial garden.

These woods have become a paradise for children.

Children can be seen traveling back and forth between the various woods at any time.

Cheerful laughter came from the woods from time to time.

This laughter made the entire tribe look more vibrant.

After cleaning this way, there will be no snakes, insects and wild animals, and the woods will become empty and safe.

Only birds, but they are not affected much, and they still cannot go there.

But from now on, they have to learn to adapt to and get used to the harassment of their children.

From time to time, they screamed and flew out of the woods and circled over them.

But not long after, they fell back into the woods and continued to chirp and feast.

Without any brain capacity, they soon forgot the horror of naughty children.

Perhaps, in the battle with children, they will also gain the opportunity to evolve and become smarter.

In today's tribes, adults can let their children play anywhere with confidence.

The space for children to move has become larger.

Within the moat, even within the rice fields, it is safe enough and is a place where children can move around at will.

In the wilderness, this place has become a place where people live without danger and people live without peace.

At the same time, this place is a forbidden place for wild animals. If it is approached, it will perish; if it is entered, it will perish.

Along the moat, there are dry land that has been reclaimed, and hemp and soybeans are planted.

Soybeans are one of the staple foods in the future.

Planting naturally requires careful care.

At this time, the soybean seedlings grew taller than the instep, and several dark green leaves grew.

Although the dry land has been burned, there are still weed seeds and rhizomes left behind.

At this time, these weeds are also growing.

Moreover, these weeds grow wildly and are already more lush and denser than soybean seedlings.

There is a tendency to flood soybean seedlings.

Ignore it, the harvest season must be the only way to find scattered pods among the weeds.

How can this happen?

Must be weeded!

Many tribe members are weeding.

When weeding in dry land, you need to use a hoe.

The wildly growing weeds fall down under the hoe, and soon become wilted by the violent sunlight. In a few days, they will dry up, from the winners who compete for nutrients with soybean seedlings, and finally turn into fertilizers to increase the fertility of the land.

As weeds fell down, the soybean seedlings exposed their heads.

The soybean seedlings with sufficient growth space were obtained, dominating the land, stretching happily, dark green leaves, slightly flooding, revealing vitality.
