I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 221 Reserves for Winter

The second brother and his wife are both quick-workers. They can finish harvesting and transporting sweet potatoes from an acre of land in a day and a half.

 Transport all the sweet potatoes to the backyard and start sorting them. Pick out the damaged ones and put them outside separately, and put them all intact into the cellar for storage.

When the land became free, Baiyunxi asked her son to fertilize the field. She took out half a bag of fertilizer from the storage cabinet, mixed it with farmyard manure, and plowed the land again.

 Direct sowing of winter wheat.

 The only two acres of land are planted with winter wheat in Baiyun River. They only need to irrigate once in the next spring and apply a second amount of fertilizer, and then they can wait for harvest.

The family's land has been planted and the sweet potatoes have been put into the cellar. They will continue to cultivate the land during the remaining time.

In the breaks, he would transport the fallen leaves that had accumulated for several years in the mountains and forests to the foot of the hillside, pile them together and fertilize them.

The family worked together and spent half a month finally clearing out all the wasteland. They then transformed the wasteland into terraced fields and brought in mountain spring water.

Comparing the east **** land with the west hillside land, the most trouble-free thing is that there is no need to dig a reservoir. There is a ready-made ditch next to the **** land, and water can be diverted for irrigation.

 Introducing water into the ditch not only makes it convenient for their home, but also fields close to the ditch can be irrigated.

Although Baiyun Xi didn't like to deal with the villagers, in order to prevent the villagers from deliberately damaging the water diversion bamboo canal, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

  After all, this is something that benefits everyone, so no one wants to cause damage.

If it was only convenient for her family, even if they squatted down and watched the ditch every day, they would still be unable to avoid those saboteurs who would cause trouble.

After finishing all these things, winter will come completely. The leaves in the mountain forest will turn yellow and fall when the wind blows.

Baiyunxi looked at the wasteland that had been sorted out. He first irrigated it with mountain spring water, and then waved his hand.

“After the busy work is over, let’s go home and rest for two days before continuing to search for things in the mountains. We must store enough food before it snows. There are many of us, and the more abundant the reserves, the more at ease we will feel.”

A few people listened to Baiyun Xi's instructions and nodded in agreement. Only if they have enough food in winter can they feel at ease in Maodong.

Bai Anyan looked back at the desolate forest, "Mom, all the fruits in the forest are rotten. I'm afraid there won't be much to eat. Mom needs to be mentally prepared."

Ever since the family fell into poverty, my mother has led them through life with a high-spirited attitude.

It's winter now, and food is not as abundant as in autumn. He is worried that his mother will be worried and discouraged if she can't find food.

Baiyunxi looked at them and chuckled.

"What are you afraid of? There are no fruits on the trees, but there are just enough fruits underground, especially those foods such as yam, leg, and sweet potato. They are all hidden in the soil. We need to dig carefully."

“Last time I went to Baohe Hall to sell Qiuli ointment, I already told the doctor that if we dug up wild yam, concocted it ourselves, and then took it to the pharmacy, the price would be higher.”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s reminder, Mrs. Li immediately agreed,

“I know this. Last time, my mother specifically asked the doctor about it. Before it snowed, we hurriedly went to the mountains to dig. We will definitely not be able to find wild yam.”

Bai Yunxi felt much more at ease when she saw how energetic these people were.

 After chatting and laughing, they returned home. Looking at the shack at home, Baiyunxi slapped his forehead and almost forgot about the business.
