Traveling to the Earth: My martial spirit is a hoe

After doing all this, Luo Qiong was still not at ease, so he built a small fence with branches around the place where potatoes were planted to protect the small soil bag.

Only then did I feel relieved. After a long day of work, I finally got it done.

After looking at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and his parents had not come back yet. Luo Qiong saw that there was nothing going on, so he summoned his hoe again and started to clean up the vegetable garden.

Maybe it's because I experienced too many intrigues and suffered all kinds of grievances in my previous life.

Luo Qiong actually fell in love with the feeling of farming. People's hearts are unpredictable but the earth is not.

If you give sincerely to him, he will also repay you truthfully. The feeling of reaping rewards through your own labor seems to be more addictive than a breakthrough in cultivation.

He Fanghua is a neat woman. Although her house is dilapidated, she has kept it clean, as has the vegetable garden.

Riyue Village has a lot of people but little land. Large-scale land is generally allocated as farmland. Each household's vegetable plot is taken out in front of and behind the house.

They are all scattered and small in area.

Of course, the vegetable plot of Luo Qiong's family is not large, but compared to others in the village, it is much larger.

Because their home is located between two mountains, the nearest neighbor is a few hundred meters away from their home. Moreover, when they first built their house here, they were surrounded by barren mountains, and the large waterfall was right to the east of their home.

During the rainy season, when the creek swells, the water will overflow into this small valley.

When Luo Pingan applied for a homestead, because there was indeed a shortage of land in the village and his family was poor, he was finally approved here.

Luo Ping'an spent two years digging five or six meters underground from the original slope to level a homestead, and the excavated rocks and soil were used to build a five-meter-high stone ridge beside the waterfall.

The excavated soil was then backfilled, and the foundation of the original three large tile-roofed houses doubled in size in an instant.

After Luo Ping'an built the house, the backfilled flat land became their vegetable garden.

Luo Qiong's family basically grows vegetables every year from this vegetable garden.

Therefore, He Fanghua was very concerned about this vegetable garden. In order to prevent the vegetables from being destroyed by chickens and ducks, he went up the mountain to cut several bundles of bamboo. With the help of Luo Ping'an, he built a fence around the entire vegetable garden.

Only a small door was opened near the house. The vegetable field surrounded by fences is He Fanghua's territory, and she has absolute say in this vegetable field.

Because winter has just passed, there are only a few scattered green patches in the vegetable garden today, which are some cold-resistant spinach and other vegetables, but they are still covered with corn stalks.

This is to prevent sudden frost weather, but there are obviously not many vegetables left.

A few days ago, Luo Qiong heard from He Fanghua that he was going to sell rapeseed. When the weather gets warmer, he can plant vegetables.

At this time, he had finished his work. Looking at the dilapidated vegetable field, Luo Qiong's desire to farm began to expand.

Finally, the hoe that had been taken back appeared in his hand again.

Luo Qiong grabbed the hoe and started digging.

Luo Qiong used to dig the ground, but she used farm tools from home. In rural areas, the first lesson for children from an early age is labor.

So when it comes to digging, although Luo Qiong is not very good at it, he still knows the tricks.

Of course, many people think that digging is as simple as lifting a hoe and digging into the ground. I think this is a laborious job, and I will do it if I have the strength.

But it is not easy to actually dig the ground. If you just rely on a handful of strength, you will definitely be exhausted within a few minutes, and your hands may also get a lot of blisters.

And another point is that the land after digging must be very flat. People who don’t know how to dig will only think that turning the soil over will be enough, but they often pile the soil together, and when the land is finally dug, there will be There are small mounds of soil one after another. Of course, such land cannot be planted, so we can only rework.

When those experienced farmers dig the ground, they usually stand firmly with their feet apart and their legs slightly bent. Hold the hoe tightly with both hands, trying not to separate from the hoe handle.

Then lift the hoe and use the weight of the hoe itself to dig into the soil with a little force.

After the hoe enters the soil, instead of using the power of the body to lift the soil directly, the lever formed by the angle between the hoe handle and the hoe is used to pry upward, so that the lumps of soil can be lifted up.

Finally, with a gentle lift, the upturned soil is placed in the pits to smooth the land. Sometimes the soil lumps that are too big have to be broken up with the back of a hoe.

Remember here are a few tips. The first is to squat slightly when your legs are spread apart. This is to lower your center of gravity, make you stand more stable, and avoid bending over for a long time, which will cause waist fatigue.

Hold the hoe tightly with both hands to prevent prolonged friction between the palm and the hoe handle, which may cause blisters.

You need to pry it down without lifting it, just to save energy and make it easier to work for a long time.

So it is easy to tell whether a novice or a master is digging.

The ground dug by a novice will have many potholes, and the excavated soil lumps will be uneven in size.

The ground dug by the old master is different. Not only is it smooth, but the soil clods are evenly sized and small, and even the edges are cleaned up.

Luo Qiong also helped dig the ground when he was a child, but he stopped doing it for a long time after going to school. At this time, after picking up the hoe for the first few times, he couldn't find the feeling and the digging was not smooth.

But as time went by, those skills hidden deep in his memory were slowly awakened, and before long, Luo Qiong was digging very skillfully.

And because this hoe was his companion weapon, it was extremely easy to use. In just 20 minutes, Luo Qiong turned over the entire vegetable patch without even using his strength-enhancing skills.

When Luo Qiong stood up, straightened his back and put the hoe on the ground, looking at the fruits of his labor, he felt full of satisfaction.

I stretched out my hand to wipe away the sweat, and felt comfortable all over my body. The feeling of sweating profusely was really good.

After watching for a while, Luo Qiong raised his feet and prepared to leave the vegetable garden. However, when he wanted to move, he felt soreness in his arms and thighs.

This is the accumulation of lactic acid after strenuous exercise and sudden rest. When Luo Qiong was in physical education class, the teacher said that you should not sit down and rest immediately after long-distance running. You should also jog a few laps to let your body adapt, otherwise you may not stand even the next day. Can't get up.

Luo Qiong just turned over the vegetable field in one go. The labor intensity was too high and there was no relief, so she felt sore all over her body at this moment.

"Ouch!"

Every time he moved, his body felt like a cramp, and Luo Qiong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"You're so careless!"

After moving a few steps, Luo Qiong stood up again and waved his right hand.

"Second skill, attribute, wood"

A circle of green light flashed on the hoe, and the green light flew out from the hoe, and then turned into a green mist, wrapping Luo Qiong inside.
