Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 379: Flower Repotting

"Yes, pheasants are small, and we have a large family and can eat a lot. Sometimes one chicken is not enough, so we need to cook two pheasants. But won't it be eaten faster?"

Xu Han thought about it and it seemed to be true, especially when eating clay pot chicken. Hot pot also often uses chicken soup, and the same is true for noodles, so it can be eaten faster.

Then he said, “I’ll see if I can hatch some chicks and ducklings next year. Then I’ll fence off the orchard and raise them all there. This way they will eat the bugs and weeds in the orchard, and the chicken droppings can serve as fertilizer for the fruit trees.

The leftover chickens and eggs are made into delicacies and sold in the county town.”

"Hahaha, this is a good idea. If you can't finish the food, you can exchange it for money."

When Xu Han thought about raising chickens, he thought about how to cook chickens, ducks and eggs. There are so many delicious Chinese foods, and this is not a simple thing.

And in this era of food scarcity, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell your products.

Now I just hope the war doesn’t reach here. If it does, we’ll be finished.

The current location of the few people is not very far from the border, but it is also very close to the capital, and it belongs to the central region.

The next city is the capital. If this city is captured, the capital will be in danger.

However, this is not something Xu Han needs to consider. Xu Han just needs to live a good life at home. Even if the enemy really attacks here, the worst that can happen is that he can just hide in the mountains and not go out.

As they talked, they were enjoying the cool in the yard. However, it was already September and the nights in the mountains were still very cold. They didn't stay there for long before returning to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest did not rush to the mountains to continue their patrol. Instead, they took advantage of today's time to use their cattle to plow the vegetable fields outside.

The two acres of land were quickly plowed. The soil was plowed at noon, and in the afternoon everyone planted garlic, radish, carrots, spinach, coriander and other winter vegetables in the vegetable garden. Xu Han also grew some cabbage seedlings.

However, the peppers and tomatoes in the vegetable garden have not yet turned yellow. Instead, they will grow more when the weather gets colder. We will pull them out after the frost, and then plant some onions, peas and the like.

Now all the dry land has been planted with wheat, and some have begun to sprout and grow. From a distance, it looks like a lawn, which is very beautiful with its emerald green color.

As for the paddy fields, Xu Han plowed the land and planted wheat some time ago.

The temperature here is suitable for growing one season of wheat and one season of rice, and there is no conflict in time at all.

Last year, I didn’t have enough time to plant, so half a year wasted.

Fortunately, we were busy reclaiming wasteland last spring, so not much land was wasted. A lot of land was reclaimed in the spring.

This year is just right. Wheat is planted in the first half of the year, and rice, corn, soybeans and sweet potatoes are planted in the second half of the year.

It took the three of them a whole day to plant all the vegetables in the garden. As for Grandpa Zhao, he worked in the back doing logistics and helping to look after the children.

In the end, there are still some corners left that have not been planted. Xu Han can fill them in himself when he has time. There is no need for so many people to work together.

The next day, Lu Chuan followed the Taoist priest and the other man to patrol the mountains. Xu Han took advantage of this time to replant the various flower seedlings that had been grafted some time ago.

At that time, Xu Han took cuttings of many flowers, not only roses but also plum blossoms and all kinds of other things.

Overall, the growth is still relatively good at the moment, but a batch of seedlings died in the summer. Fortunately, Xu Han planted another batch in time.

Originally there were not many roses of various kinds in the house, but after Xu Han's cuttings, there are now many pots of roses in the house, which are placed around the front yard, and look particularly beautiful.

By next spring, you will be able to cut flowers freely, and you won’t have to be reluctant to cut them and put them in the vase like you did this year.

The small wild flowers outside have also produced seeds one after another, but they are not mature yet. Xu Han plans to pick a batch of them after they mature, and let the rest grow freely, so as to avoid planting them again next year.

Just like this year after year, day after day, you don’t have to worry about it after a long time, it will grow back when the season comes.

Of course, you must not forget to fertilize, otherwise it will not grow well if it relies on itself.

As for the sunflowers, Xu Han was very glad that she finally bought the right version this time.

Each one that blooms has double petals, and the colorful ones are very beautiful.

This plant does not need to be seeded. If you want to plant it somewhere else, just cut off a section and plant it. It is very easy to survive and can survive almost anywhere there is soil. It does not need much care at ordinary times. Proper watering and occasional fertilization are enough.

Because there were many flowers to be propagated, a lot of soil was needed, so when Xu Han went up there, she took Fantuan with her to the mountains to look for various kinds of soil.

In the afternoon, I mixed various types of soil together in a certain proportion in the front yard, and then started planting flowers one pot at a time.

Fortunately, when Lu Chuan made the flower pots, he made them according to the number of flowers Xu Han had grafted, and he was even considerate enough to make a few more, so there were enough flower pots at home.

Xu Han not only planted various flowers, but also propagated some succulents. When the time comes, she will combine them together with the previously selected tree roots to make a platter, which will be particularly beautiful.

But this cannot be done now. The tree roots have not been dealt with yet. Lu Chuan has been very busy recently, so he can only wait until the winter to do it slowly.

If I only have a succulent platter, I’ll have to wait until next year to make it.

Not only that, when the cactus crimson jade and colorful grass bloomed, Xu Han also pollinated the flowers. After pollination, the flowers produced seeds, each of which was particularly plump.

Xu Han sowed them all some time ago. They have now sprouted and started to grow, but a number of them died along the way. Now the ones left are almost as big as beans.

After they grow a little taller next spring, you can pick them out and replant them. After about a year of growth, they can be potted individually.

It will be even more beautiful when it is full of colorful cactus flowers.

After Xu Han changed the pots of all the flowers, she was so tired that she didn't want to move anymore.

This job looks enjoyable, but it is really tiring to do it on a large scale, almost like farming.

So no dinner was prepared today, and everyone ate the food directly from the space.

Mu'er asked innocently, "Mom, did Dad go hunting tigers again today?"

"Hahaha, silly son, there are not so many big tigers in the mountains. Tigers have their own territories. Other tigers don't dare to come here casually."
