Chapter 76: Open up wasteland

The plan to reclaim the land next to the broken house was not put on hold because of the intention to move to the beach.

After all, it is not that time-consuming to travel up and down the mountain. Keeping farmland near the rocky slope water source is definitely the best option. Otherwise, there is no spacious flat land to use on the mountain spring.

However, the progress of the land reclamation was not ideal. After cleaning up some of the stones, they found that under the stones were not soft and fertile land, but more stones.

This made everyone feel a little discouraged for a while, and they planned to give up the land reclamation of this place, but they were a little unwilling to do so.

"I dug out this just now." Wu Zihao held some dry roots in his hand to show Li Moxian.

Now he has regarded Li Moxian as a botanist in his heart, and he has to ask if he doesn't know anything he doesn't know.

Many times, Li Moxian didn't know each other, but began to hide from Wu Zihao.

However, what Wu Zihao brought this time was very interesting to her: "This... let me take a closer look." Li Moxian took the dry roots from Wu Zihao's hand, looked through them several times, and then opened them one by one on the stone to observe carefully.

Li Moxian suddenly reached out to pinch a piece of whisker, dusted the dust, put it in his mouth and started chewing it carefully.

"Ah? Can this thing be eaten? Don't eat it casually. What should I do if something goes wrong?" Wu Zihao wanted to stop Li Moxian.

This caused a silence to Li Moxian: she originally wanted to taste the taste of these roots and try to judge whether her thoughts were right, and she had no intention of eating these roots. After trying them, she could completely spit it out.

However, when Wu Zihao made trouble, Li Moxian was nervous and swallowed all his roots, and the taste was not very clear.

"Wu Zihao, don't make trouble for others!" Su Yueya left a complaint in disgust, then turned around and moved the stones.

Unlike Su Yueya, Li Moxian has a much better temper. Not only did he not get angry, he also explained to Wu Zihao very embarrassedly: "It's okay, I could not eat it. But it's okay after eating it, but I just didn't confirm the taste. Well, I guess... these are not the roots of the same plant. For example, look." Li Moxian said and picked up one, "This is a sweet potato seedling."

Wu Zihao's eyes lit up: "Sweet potato? Is it the one I ate?"

Li Moxian nodded, "But this is not something to eat anymore. This looks like Gema. Gema often grows in slices, so it would be great if we could find Gemacong."

As he was talking, Zhao Qianyu discovered it.

After cleaning a stone, he finally saw the soil under the stone. It was different from the floating soil on the surface, and it was dark. The dark soil looked very fertile. There were also traces of wriggling in the soil from time to time.

"There are earthworms and larvae that I don't know. They look like caterpillars, but they are much more fatter than caterpillars." Zhao Qianyu said as he pinched a soft and wriggling big white worm.

Su Yueya, who was afraid of insects, immediately screamed and ran away: "You are sick! Let it go! Why take it out!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's just a bug." Mi Xueling comforted Su Yueya who ran to her, "What if it's a silkworm?"

Li Moxian chuckled softly: "Silkworms want to eat mulberry leaves. This is a beetle larvae. It can be eaten even if it is fried."

"What does it mean, too! Can! Eat!" Wu Zihao's reaction was similar to Su Yueya. Both of them grew up completely in the city, and the countryside in the concept was also a countryside with no farmland and forests. Therefore, they were particularly unfamiliar with insects and plants, and there was no option like insects in the food they ate.

But Li Moxian is different. People in the mountains are still very good at making all kinds of food that can be eaten.

In recent years, some attractions have also been popular with various fried insects. Some are actually quite delicious.

Wu Zihao felt that he had already watched the wriggling bug being almost spit out. He had already thought about how he bit his mouth and burst into pieces after frying. After all, he loved to watch survival videos. But he never expected that he would face such a day. When the chicken taste crunchy becomes reality, it would not be fun at all.

"It means that silkworms can be eaten, and this means that they can be eaten." Zhao Ganyu explained without changing his face. Li Moxian nodded: "Brother Zhao is right. However, silkworms can have great functions, and it is a pity to eat them. Bee pupa is OK, and it will be of great value. Unfortunately, we have never seen bees yet."

Zhao Ganyu wanted to continue the conversation, but was interrupted by Wu Zihao, "Okay, stop talking! Don't say anything! Otherwise, the injured and retired person will appear!"

Su Yueya's face was also very ugly, and she was about to cover her ears.

"Not that, we've been struggling in the wild for so long..." Zhao Ganyu let go of his hand and put the insect back into the soil, "Okay, tell me the serious."

Zhao Ganyu believed that the stone should be under this fertile black soil. If the seeds can be sown and planted, this black soil is very suitable for farming. Although I don’t know why the ground structure on this island is so strange, as long as they can survive better, they are too lazy to explore this kind of academic problem.

After all, the formation of soil cannot be eaten as a meal for the time being.

Zhao Ganyu's discovery gave everyone confidence in the land reclamation and the progress also accelerated a lot. By the evening, a small piece of it had already come out.

Zhao Ganyu and Li Moxian are more experienced in farming, while Mi Xueling is very good at overall planning. She arranged everyone's work progress: She and Zhao Ganyu and Li Moxian are responsible for land reclamation and planting plans. Wu Zihao, who is unacceptable to insects, is responsible for water transportation and filtration, and Su Yueya is responsible for lunch and dinner and unraveling three secret boxes in the stone organ.

Everyone will coordinate and cooperate with other things, such as what Li Moxian needs to take care of and train, and the flesh and bones will come frequently to rub Zhao Ganyu and ask for fun.

Therefore, the land reclamation took several days before everyone cleared a fertile black soil next to the broken house. The area of ​​this land is not large, and Li Moxian could not be sure whether it was enough for the survival of the five people. However, everything will always be the first time. If it goes well, they can continue to mine.

During the process of land reclamation, Li Moxian also identified the seeds of several useful plants. These seeds were not buried in the ground, some were stuck between stones, and some felt that they had just been thrown here by birds. In short, Li Moxian decided to pick out the part they knew first.

The fields that had been turned over were filled with the fresh smell of soil. The three of them used tools to climb over the ridges. According to the different plans of the ridges, Li Moxian first arranged some green leafy plants, sowed seeds, and watered them.
