Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Xue smiled and glanced at the villagers who were watching. Her eyes were firm and confident. She knew that the next work required precision and meticulousness, and there could be no carelessness. So she waved her hand and signaled everyone to follow her to the selected planting area.

"First, we need to choose a place with plenty of sunlight and fertile soil to plant fruit trees." Jiang Xue explained as she walked, "Fruit trees need plenty of sunlight for photosynthesis. At the same time, fertile soil can provide the necessary nutrients for the fruit trees to thrive."

Lin Lizheng nodded and praised: "Miss Jiang, you really understand! In the past, we just randomly found a place to plant trees and never thought about so much."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and continued, "In addition to sunlight and soil, we also have to consider drainage. Fruit trees don't like standing water, so we have to make sure the planting area has good drainage."

She led everyone to an open field, pointed to a low-lying area and said, "This is the best place to plant fruit trees. You see, there is plenty of sunshine, the soil is fertile, and the drainage is good."

Everyone nodded in agreement and admired Jiang Xue's professional knowledge. Then, Jiang Xue began to arrange the specific steps of planting trees: "First, we need to dig a pit. The size of the pit should be determined according to the size and root system of the fruit tree.

Next, place the fruit tree in the hole, fill it with soil, and gently shake the trunk to ensure that the soil is in close contact with the roots. Finally, water it thoroughly so that the fruit tree can fully absorb the water. "

After she finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, carefully digesting the information. Seeing this, Jiang Xue smiled and encouraged: "Don't worry, I will demonstrate it myself, and then everyone can practice it. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be able to successfully plant these fruit trees!"

Jiang Xue's words were like a spring breeze, warming everyone's heart. She not only brought professional knowledge, but also hope and confidence. The villagers' originally nervous expressions gradually relaxed, replaced by an excitement full of expectation.

Lin Lizheng was the first to stand up. He dusted off his hands and said loudly, "Miss Jiang is right. We don't have to be afraid. With her here, we will definitely be able to grow good fruit trees! Come on, everyone, follow me and dig the tree pit first!"

Under his leadership, the villagers picked up hoes, shovels and other tools and began to work. Jiang Xue walked aside and selected a few cherry tree seedlings with good growth from the ox cart, preparing to carry out demonstration planting.

She first measured the distance on the ground, marked the location of the tree pit, and then started digging the pit. Her movements were skillful and powerful, and soon, a tree pit of the right size appeared in front of everyone.

"Look, this is the standard size of a tree pit." Jiang Xue said as she took a bag of organic fertilizer purchased from the carriage and spread it on the bottom of the pit. "Next, we need to mix the fertilizer and soil evenly."

She squatted down and mixed the fertilizer and soil with her hands, then gently put the fruit tree seedlings in and filled them with soil. While filling the soil, she explained: "When filling the soil, be careful not to fill it too tightly or too loosely, so that the soil and the roots of the fruit trees are in close contact."

Finally, Jiang Xue picked up the bucket and carefully watered the fruit tree seedlings. Everyone watched intently as she demonstrated, fearing that they would miss any details.

After the demonstration, Jiang Xue stood up, patted the dirt off her hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone understands, right? Now it's your turn, keep going!"

With her encouragement, villagers from the two villages began to practice. Although they were a little clumsy at first, under the guidance of Jiang Xue and Lin Lizheng, they gradually mastered the essentials of planting, and tree pits quickly appeared in the fields.

With the patient guidance of Jiang Xue and Lin Lizheng, the villagers gradually mastered the skills of planting trees. They cooperated with each other, some were responsible for digging holes, some were responsible for fertilizing, and some were responsible for planting trees. The fields presented a busy and orderly scene.

"Everyone, please note that the distance between each tree pit must be kept consistent so that the fruit trees will have enough space when they grow up." Jiang Xue gave instructions as they walked.

"Also, don't step on the soil too firmly when filling it. Leave some breathing space for the tree roots," Lin Lizheng added.

As time goes by, the originally empty mountain land is now covered with tree pits of various sizes, each of which carries the villagers' expectations and visions for the future.

While responding to the villagers' curiosity, Jiang Xue was thinking about future plans in her mind. She knew that the existing land in Taohua Village was indeed not enough to support the planting of all varieties of fruit trees, but this was only a temporary difficulty. She had already set her sights on further afield.

"These fruits are big and small, light and heavy, and the annual yield is also different. For some fruit trees planted this year, we only need to wait a few months to harvest a bountiful harvest; while for others, we need to wait patiently until next year to welcome the joy of a good harvest." Jiang Xue explained in detail.

Hearing this, a villager asked curiously: "I see! Are these fruits that are about to mature almost ripe? And if so many different kinds of fruits are planted in our village, won't the space feel a little small?"

Originally, everyone thought that if they only planted one or two types of fruit, then the hills of Taohua Village should be enough. However, facing the current seven or eight varieties, they suddenly felt that the space was becoming too crowded. How could such a small area accommodate so many fruit trees?

"Of course there is not enough space, but this is only the first year of trial, and the number of saplings is limited. When the fruits are ripe this year, I will look for more suitable land to expand the scale of planting." Jiang Xue secretly calculated in her heart that the resources of a village were far from enough to satisfy her ambitions. Her sights had long gone beyond this small village and cast towards a wider world.

Jiang Xue smiled and replied, "Of course, I've been thinking about it. There are several villages near us whose land conditions are also very suitable for growing these fruit trees. I will go and discuss with them to see if we can expand fruit tree planting to those places."

"That's great!" The villagers agreed, "This way, our fruit production will be greatly increased!"

Lin Lizheng also nodded in support: "Miss Jiang is very thoughtful. This will not only increase our planting area, but also drive the economic development of other villages. It really kills two birds with one stone."
