Chapter 123 The Little System Goes into Isolation Again

Sun Yuxi and the others hadn't finished their work yet, so Bai Nuo played for a while before returning to the educated youth compound.

After arriving home, Bai Nuo first went to the backyard to check on the grass carp, crayfish, and eels in the wooden bucket. She found that they were still quite lively. However, to ensure that they could be kept alive for another two days, Bai Nuo replaced the water in the bucket with spring water from her space.

With mountain spring water, the little ingredients inside can live on, thriving all day long.

After cleaning the house, I took a hoe and went to the backyard. The two small vegetable plots had already been cultivated, and now it was time to dig holes and sow the seeds.

The two small vegetable plots in her yard weren't very big, but they were enough for her to eat by herself.

I selected some scallions, ginger, and garlic sprouts and planted two rows of them at the base of the wall near Chao Xianhua's house. The others included lettuce, garland chrysanthemum, chili peppers, eggplants, radishes, cabbage, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and spinach.

She only planted a little of each of the seeds she got from Aunt Cui'e. Anyway, with the mountain spring water in her space and her own wood-type ability, they would all survive.

However, her backyard vegetable garden was really small, so she only threw two or three seeds of radishes and spinach, which she didn't really like, in the corners of the garden. She would just set aside a small plot to plant the ones she liked.

However, the vegetables that need trellises later, such as green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes, are planted separately in the small vegetable garden next to the drying rack. Fortunately, the thin bamboo poles used to cover the roof last time are still there, so we can just build a climbing trellis.

Bai Nuo works much faster at home than in the fields. In addition, taking advantage of the fact that no one is around, she summons her neatly dressed wooden puppet, whose head is completely covered, to help her dig holes. In about half an hour, the two small vegetable plots are filled.

Bai Nuo put away the wooden puppet and stood with his hands on his hips on the stone path in the middle of the backyard, looking at the small vegetable gardens on both sides.

Every household here uses natural fertilizer, but Bai Nuo doesn't like the smell. She had enough of the stench of zombies and mutated creatures in her previous life, and she couldn't stand any of that kind of grievance in this life. She just wanted to enjoy a good life.

It seems I'll have to see where I can get compound fertilizer next time I go to the county town. I'll also dilute it with the spring water from the space to water the land. This will not only fertilize the soil but also prevent pests. Although the crops that grow here won't be as good as those grown in the space, they will still be drier than ordinary crops.

"System, does our county have a fertilizer plant?"

"No, but you can find that the grocery stores here sell fertilizer, but the price is high and the quantity is limited. Nowadays, basically no one is willing to spend money to buy fertilizer. At most, the brigade can apply for a batch from the commune, but which brigade is willing to spend money to apply for fertilizer from the commune these days?"

Bai Nuo frowned slightly: "In that case, it wouldn't be easy to explain if I brought back a bag of fertilizer."

"Host, you can actually use wood ash to make fertilizer."

“Oh right, I remember the teacher taught me that wood ash fertilizer is made from the ash left over from roasting or fire, which is then sifted or washed to create a solid or liquid fertilizer. It contains a lot of potassium and a small amount of phosphorus and calcium, making it suitable for fruit-bearing plants.” Bai Nuo’s eyes lit up.

Actually, the seeds need to be fertilized before planting, but Bai Nuo forgot about it. However, this is not a big problem for her.

A ladle of spring water is poured into a wooden bucket and then used to irrigate the vegetable garden. This method saves time, effort, and fertilizer.

"I'm going to the back mountain to cut some grass to make wood ash. When the seedlings have three or five leaves, I'll apply fertilizer for the second time. I'll prepare the wood ash in advance so I won't be too lazy to do it later."

Bai Nuo was unaware of his tendency to be lazy from time to time, but he was determined not to change it. While he still had some energy, he quickly got the work done.

The educated youth compound is located at the foot of Dafeng Mountain, just a seven or eight-minute walk from the foot of the mountain.

When the educated youth compound was built, the brigade headquarters specially raised the wall to 2.5 meters to prevent wild animals from coming down from the mountain and rushing into the compound. This not only kept out things from the mountain, but sometimes it also kept out things from the village.

After all, half of the people living there were female educated youth from the city. If something happened to one of them, the brigade headquarters would have a hard time explaining to the commune and the educated youth office.

After all, this kind of thing had happened in other brigades a few years ago.

Bai Nuo took a sickle, slung a large basket over his shoulder, and went up the mountain. The map in his mind was still on today. As soon as he entered Dafeng Mountain, several green dots on the map started flashing rapidly, as if afraid that Bai Nuo would miss them.

Bai Nuo stood on a mountain path and looked around at the green dots closest to her on the map.

"What good stuff could there be at the foot of this mountain, Ah Tong? Your new main program is way too cheap. You wouldn't even leave behind dead wood and weeds, would you?"

"Nonsense, the check-in lottery program was created by our family members and several other adults. It was only distributed to a few of the best systems. Others don't have it yet. Where is it cheap? Tell me where it is cheap."

"Oh." Bai Nuo rolled her eyes expressionlessly. "Have you already forgotten about that pile of waste newspapers I still haven't finished using?"

"Well, how is it useless? It's great for wallpapering. It keeps things clean and prevents dust from falling off. It's perfect for our times now, okay?"

The system looked completely self-righteous, just like Bai Nuo when she usually spouted nonsense!

“Then take a look over there…” Bai Nuo released the virtual map. The place marked with a green dot on the map was three meters to the left of where Bai Nuo was at this moment. At this moment, a green marker appeared that only Bai Nuo and the system could see.
