Alpine pasture

Chapter 11 The forage has been upgraded

I went back to the house to take a shower, and then I fell asleep. I thought before going to bed to see if I could plant the grass in the space tomorrow morning.

I woke up the next morning and found that it was still dark. I found a bucket, and brought a small vacuum cleaner into the space. After thinking about it last night, this guy is still very useful, and it should be enough to leave it for a night.

After working in the space for a long time, I collected more than half of the barrels of grass seeds.It's not that I'm tired, it's that the vacuum cleaner is out of power.

When I got out of the space, it was already bright, and I heated up the beef soup left over from yesterday. I had a full meal for one person and three dogs. I left the preserved eggs at home to watch the house. Get up and find a good place to plant grass seeds.

After driving for more than half an hour in the thigh-length grass, Ju An stopped in front of a large pond.This pond is about the size of a football field. After looking around, I found a few white-tailed deer drinking water.

Damn, on Lao Tzu's land, drinking Lao Tzu's water, eating Lao Tzu's grass without even saying hello, you think you are a civil servant of the Celestial Dynasty.

Hutou and Garantou both sat up at this moment, their eyes fixed on the white-tailed deer, they watched without moving, and then lightly walked towards the place where the deer drank water.

Ju An had already got out of the car at this time, and was observing the pond, thinking about releasing all the fish, eels, and thorns in the pond in the space, so that it would be easy to explain when eating in the future.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard two barking barks. Looking at it, Suantou and Hutou were chasing a small deer, like the one who drank the trumpet by the water just now. He was about to seal the direction of the deer's escape, and it seemed that he was about to drive the deer toward him.

Seeing Xiaolu's panicked appearance, Ju An called out, "Hutou, Suantou come back", and the two dogs stopped chasing the deer, wagging their tails and crawling onto the car again.

Moisten the forage seeds in the bucket with water and sprinkle them along the lake.After sowing the seeds, I felt that the pond was bare, and I broke a dozen vines from the fence of the space, soaked it in water and inserted it by the side of the pond. Under the cover of the thigh-high grass, the vines and space grass were not very obvious. Although the speed is also very fast.

Then I fished from the pond in the space. Fortunately, I bought a detection net in my hometown. It is the kind of handle that I usually use. Then there is a triangular shelf in front of it, and the net port is stuck on the side of the shelf.

No matter what kind of fish it was, I scooped out more than a dozen nets in a row, and all the big herring with long arms fished out a dozen or so, and poured them into the pond. The water from the soil enclosure is poured into the pond.

After working on the fish pond, Ju An carefully observed how the grass in the space was growing. He looked at the grass and saw that the dark green space grass had spread over a large area.

In fact, Ju An just observed the ground. In the layer, what Ju An couldn't see was that although the vines he transplanted were short just above the knees, the thin roots below kept trying to spread around. , and the space grass also extends forward along the roots of the vines, the roots keep growing, and the space grass keeps growing grass seeds. The grass seeds fall off and sprout again. with vine roots.

The roots of the vines are like a natural water supply pipe, constantly providing water to the space grass, and Ju An is equivalent to obtaining a biological irrigation system for free.

Of course, Ju An didn't know this, he only knew that the grass in the space was growing very well, and the leaves on the dozen vines had also changed from emerald green to the same dark green as in the space.

Start the four wheels, then drive forward, and after driving for a while, you will see the edge of your pasture.A wooden stake to Ju An's chest was inserted on the ground, about six or seven meters apart, and three layers of barbed wire were wound up and down.After walking along the wooden stake for a while, I saw a shabby wooden sign hanging on one of the stakes that said: Private territory, no entry.

Along the way, the white-tailed deer just now saw a few more.He was grazing leisurely in the pasture. It is estimated that these guys came under the barbed wire. After walking for a while, Ju An also found a nest of red foxes. The big fox and the little fox disappeared in a blink of an eye. .

Looking at the sky, the sun was already high, so he drove towards the house.

After stopping for four rounds, Century Egg wagged his tail and greeted him, rubbed Century Egg's head twice, and then praised it a few times.He walked into the vegetable garden.

The whole vegetable garden is no longer the earthy color it was yesterday.Tomatoes with a little red in the blue, green thumb-sized cucumbers, fist-sized winter melons, palm-length beans and loofah, and half-height cabbage.The whole vegetable garden is full of life.

After careful observation, there is no obvious sign of increase.Ju An was relieved. If Old Thomas and the others came and saw that these things were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, it would be a big trouble.

I added some water from the soil to the large pool of the single-person bathtub at the entrance, and then tried it a few times with the tomatoes nearby. It is safe to add half a cup to dilute it. .

Once that was done, I started making lunch, the same as yesterday, but this time it was less cooked.

After lunch, I continued to tidy up the room. Actually, there was nothing to tidy up. The real estate agent kept hiring someone to clean it. Even the books in the bookcase were not removed. It's a pity that Ju'an doesn't have a computer. The old computer was sold when it was in Jiangnan. I will buy a book in a few days. However, considering that the system is all in English, I plan to bring one when I go to China next time.

After a few scans, Ju An took out a rocking chair and took a nap under the porch outside the door.

When he was sleeping sweetly, a sudden dog barking woke Ju An. He opened his eyes and saw that an F450 with a large trailer was coming here. Old Thomas and the others had arrived.

After drinking the three guys who were wasting their saliva, Ju An stood up from the chair.

After a while, the big trailer arrived next to the house.Old Thomas, got down from the co-pilot's seat: "Hey, Ann, it's not too late for us."

Ju An looked at Wynn and Nancy who jumped out of the car and said, "It's not too late, just right".

Then saw the three guys behind: "Oh, these three guys are really big".

Ju An pointed one by one and introduced: "This is a preserved egg, a tiger head, and a garlic head."Before the words were finished, these guys gathered around the three of them and sniffed.

Regardless of these three guys, after chatting with Thomas a few words, Ju An helped them move things. Originally, Ju An wanted them to live in a big two-story house, but he was alone. Old Thomas refused and chose the left hand. The first room, Wynn chose the second room.

Nancy chose the last house on the right, the house near the stable.

When helping old Thomas to move things, he found that Thomas brought a saddle, reins, and noose by himself.Looking at Nancy and Wynn with their own saddles, Thomas explained: "As a cowboy, you can't have your own horse, but you must have your own saddle."

Nancy has more things, a lot of cosmetics and clothes, and a few rolls of cowhide.
When helping old Thomas move things, Ju An also looked at the worker's house, and when he was looking at the ranch, he took a rough look. He went in and saw that Thomas' room had a small living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom of five or six square meters. .The area is about 50 square meters.

Thomas was satisfied with the room, telling Ju An that conditions were much better than the farm where he last worked.During the conversation, Ju An realized that you don't need to provide the cowboy with cooked meals on the farm, just provide the meat for free, and the cowboy buys and cooks the vegetables himself, so each room has a kitchen.

Ju An thought that this was easy, and it also saved the cook's money.

After Old Thomas and the others packed up, Ju An took the three of them to look around. When the three of them entered the large vegetable room, they were all surprised.

Thomas pushed aside a few leaves and looked at the fist-sized tomato: "It's growing really well, the vegetables will be settled in the future, look at this, in two days, I have some red silk, and I can eat it." Happy to look at the cucumber, look at the loofah.

"If only I could grow some carrots, horses love this stuff," Thomas said regretfully.

"The cabbage is a bit sparse, so after a couple of days, let's plant some seeds in the middle of the cabbage." Ju An thought to himself: I just remembered what I like to eat, but I forgot that horses like carrots.

Next, looking at the stables, Thomas said, "The stables are fine, but the saddles and water reins are going to be bought." Ju An looked up and saw that the saddle racks were empty, and the water reins were missing, not to mention the sweat pads.

Hearing Thomas' words, Ju An nodded.

I followed the big garage, barn, etc., especially the small machine Thomas in the big garage, carefully checked it, and found that it was well maintained and did not need to be replaced.After reading these, several people went back to the house to prepare dinner.
