Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 374 High Pressure Fruit Tree

After Xu Han took a round of inspection, he turned around and left the orchard. He put Ze'er on the small cart next to the wasteland, asked Mu'er to play with him, and went into the orchard to pick pears.

By the way, I also picked the few unripe pomegranates that I had kept some time ago, and put them directly into the space.

After this period of time, the fruits in the orchard have gradually matured. Although each tree does not bear many fruits, and some trees even have no fruits, there are too many fruit trees.

Moreover, Xu Han planted many fruit trees at the beginning of autumn. These planted fruit trees have begun to grow roots and can be transplanted after a while.

It is very simple to repair high pressure fruit trees. You just need to use a knife to make a circle around the branch, and then scrape off the white membrane inside with the knife.

Then use the garbage bag in the space, add soil, and wrap it around the cut area. It won’t take long for roots to grow.

At that time, some fruit trees will be planted, and the uneaten fruits can be taken down the mountain and sold. However, Xu Han would rather keep these fruits until winter to sell them, so that he can make a lot of money then.

This is also the reason why Xu Han still wants to plant more fruit trees even though the fruits they produce are enough for people to eat.

After these fruit trees grow up, they will bear more fruits in two or three years, and then we can start operating.

There are many hills near his home, and Xu Han doesn't want to waste them. Many of the hills are sloped and not suitable for farming. Planting fruit trees is the most suitable place.

So some time ago, Xu Han picked some branches that could be pruned next year and did some high-pressure treatments on them.

Some branches are larger, some are smaller, and of course some are bent, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the tree can survive.

After it has grown steadily, just cut it off halfway up and let it grow new branches.

However, the fields at home have not been plowed yet and the winter wheat has not been planted yet, so there is no time to do these things now.

Xu Han picked all the ripe pears on the tree, then walked out while knocking the pears with a small stick.

Grandpa Zhao saw the visitor and asked, "Have you picked all the pears?"

"The ripe ones have been picked, and the rest I see are not yet ripe. Let them grow on the tree for a while, and then pick them directly when they are ripe."

"Okay, it's a waste to pick the unripe ones. They're astringent and taste bad."

When Lu Chuan saw Xu Han coming over, he said, "Wife, take the children home first. We will turn the land for a while while it's cool in the evening."

Xu Han looked up at the sky. The fiery red sunset was so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off it. "Okay then, I'll go home and make dinner. I'll ask Mu'er to bring you some water later."

"Okay, you go back first. We'll be back in a while."

When Xu Han walked back, she saw the flowers outside the yard were in full bloom, and she immediately became interested again.

He turned around and went back into the yard, and when he came out again he was holding a pair of scissors in his hand.

I cut a few beautiful flowers and put them in the vase in the house.

While fiddling with the vase, Xu Han asked her son with a smile, "Mu'er, look, are the flowers that mother has arranged beautiful?"

"It's pretty, but not as pretty as my mother."

Xu Han laughed even more happily when she heard this. "Who did you learn this from? How come you are so good at talking?"

"Hehehe." Mu'er smiled but didn't answer.

Xu Han is not particularly good-looking now. Living in the mountains and doing farm work every day, her skin is inevitably rough.

Even though Grandpa Zhao specially prepared a skin care cream, it was still inevitable to get a little tanned.

Fortunately, Xu Han usually pays attention to sun protection, so her skin color is not dark, but at most it is a healthy skin color. But compared with those ladies who never go out of the house, her skin color is definitely darker.

Fortunately, Xu Han has very regular facial features. Although she is not a great beauty, she is still the most eye-catching one in the crowd.

In the past few years since she traveled through time, Xu Han has become much taller and fatter than the original owner.

But I have to do heavy work every day, so I am not very fat. I can only say that I am more well-proportioned, not fat nor thin, a normal figure with a little fat on my belly.

"Okay, okay, go play with your brother. Mom is busy now."

Mu'er responded sweetly, "Okay, we'll just stay in the house and not go out."

Hearing this, Xu Han smiled and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Xu Han was not in a hurry to cook dinner, but first went to the room in the backyard to see how the koji she had made a few days ago was doing.

When you open the gauze covering it, a mushroom smell hits you in the face. When you remove the straw on top, you can see that the round koji is covered with white fluffy mycelium.

Xu Han took one and looked at it carefully. She didn't see any mold or rot there. "Hahaha, it's done."

Then he quickly opened the rest and took a look. He was relieved to see that each one was covered with mycelium.

It's already late today, so let's cover it first and take it to the corridor to dry tomorrow morning.

This can only be dried slowly in a cool place, and cannot be exposed to the sun, otherwise it will all crack and break.

After putting the yeast away, he went to the backyard to add water to the livestock and fed them grass before returning to the front yard.

She brought all the dried fruits and vegetables that were drying in the yard into the house, then went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner for the whole family.

At night, Xu Han and Lu Chuan lay on the bed and talked about their work in the fields.

"It just rained a short time ago, so the land is still very moist and easy to plow. I estimate that it will take two days to plow all the land. Then we can plant wheat directly."

Xu Han continued, "We have a hoe at home, so we can plant wheat very quickly. We can finish planting in two or three days.

Today I went to the orchard and saw the fruit tree seedlings that were planted under high pressure some time ago. It’s time to plant them. Otherwise, if we plant them too late, they may not survive the winter. We have to hurry up.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It will definitely be too late to clean up the hillside, but we can plant the fruit trees first and then clean up the hillside after the busy farming season. The newly planted fruit tree seedlings are very small and won't grow up in a short period of time, so we can clean up the hillside slowly. It won't delay the planting of fruit trees."

"This is the only way. If we wait until we have finished cleaning up the hillside before planting fruit trees, winter will come and the survival rate of the fruit trees will be low."

Lu Chuan continued to ask, "Have you decided where to plant it?"

"I've seen it. Just continue planting on the hill behind the orchard. That area can't be reclaimed for farming. You can only plant fruit trees."

"Okay, as long as you have a plan. We have so many hills at home, we can plant anywhere."
