The day after relaxing in the hammock.
I was coming to the field next to Andre's house.
"What's going on, Cleto? Look at the field."
"But we wanted to grow something."
"Uh, you said you wanted to try and grow something when you first got here."
You remember the first time I came to Howlin Village and said, nodding as Andre was convinced.
I came to peek at the crop that the Andre family is growing as a reference for growing.
"All right, then, as promised, I'll help you. By the way, does Cleto have any experience in agriculture?
"... to some extent I have been ashamed to have raised something small at home"
Hate and previous life weren't meant to be farmer's sons, so I don't have any decent experience raising them in the field. Precisely middle school family studies classes and planters who grew up in home gardens.
This experience would not be an exaggeration when it comes to beginners.
"Then you'd better start with a simple one."
"Do you have a recommended crop or something for beginners that you can still grow?
"... in the case of Cleto, there are days when he goes to King's Capital with a transfer, and he can't be the one who has to take care of him every day"
"Right. I'd prefer a crop that doesn't take too long, if possible."
I am a beginner about agriculture. Besides, I'm not in Howlin Village all the time, and sometimes I spend some time in Wangdu. It is difficult because it is indispensable to take care of every day.
Speaking of ideals, I like crops that grow on their own with only moderate care.
Does that mean agriculture? They're going to say things like that, but still, I want to try and grow something crop too.
"Hmm, not much of a crop."
"If that's the case, wouldn't you prefer leeks and potatoes?
Stella called out as Andre was roaring in his arms.
"Ah! Sure, if that's the case, Cleto, but you're gonna figure it out!
"Really?
Andre seems to be pinning, but I don't know about them. I don't pin.
"Leeks grow in small spaces such as planting pots and buckets, and potatoes grow on their own as long as they are planted, so I think even busy Mr. Cleto will be fine"
"I see. I do feel like I could do that."
"We have some plants in the field, so would you like to see them?
"Be sure, please"
I'd like to see it if there's a real thing. It's more energetic to cultivate, and it's easier to create an image.
Stella will show you around and move on to the back of the field.
Then the blue, thick leeks lined up with the unevenness.
"This is the spring onion we grow."
".................. I'm bigger than I imagined an onion"
I thought it was an onion because it had the name leeks, but three times as thick as I would imagine.
I've moved to various places, but I've never seen an onion this big.
It is comparable in size to the varietal modified branded leeks that were used in the previous life.
"Really? This size's normal around here, huh?
"Is it different in other parts of the world?
Andre and Stella have no such awareness. Tilt their necks properly.
It's like, all I'm saying is that this is a regular leek.
"It's this big and thinner in other parts of the world."
"What's that? Are you sure it's an onion? Isn't that just weed?
"That's small."
Andre and Stella looked surprised when I handed them the general size to try it out.
Or Andre. I think weed is terrible.
"Want to give it a whirl? It's still delicious, isn't it?
"Okay, I'll take it"
Andre pulled the onion out and broke it in half, so I wore it as it was.
"Sweet!
It's as sweet as an onion that's been simmering and growing sweet from the start. There's hardly anything there called blue odor.
"You can eat it if you boil it or bake it, but it's delicious even as it is."
"It's also convenient for cooking and can be added as one of the most unusual or drugged flavors"
"I hope it's easy to grow and use for cooking!
If it is an onion, it can be used in any dish. Don't worry if it's a crop that you can grow but it's hard to use.
"Next up, potatoes."
Traveling guided by Stella, potato leaves were growing on the next neat acre.
"These guys are sturdy no matter what. Somewhat, even if I skip taking care of him, I survive. It's easy to take care of him at the very least."
"Features longer and thinner than regular potatoes"
That's what Stella tells me. She digs out one potato that's growing.
Ordinary potatoes are round, but the potatoes are oval and slightly elongated.
It's the intermediate size of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"Here's the thing, how about that?
"When I heard the two of you explain, I felt I could raise these two"
"Now we'll hem the seeds and seedlings."
"Is that okay?
"Don't worry, we have plenty of them"
"Thank you!
◆
From Andre and Stella to a planting pot with leeks (oversized) and potato seedlings, and when I get the seeds, I go home for a moment.
For one thing, the plant pot thing can still be grown for a while. Or, if that bothers you, it's a crop that can be grown in a plant pot.
But since it is my heart that would like to try and build a field and be self-sufficient at any rate, I was not satisfied with this and decided to start building a field for the future.
It's the back door of the house that makes it. Nevertheless, it is a relaxing space with chairs and tables set up by the house, so I decide to make it a little further away.
Make it about three meters across and four meters across recommended for Andre.
It is about the size of a home garden that can be found in any home garden.
All of a sudden it's hard to build and manage a huge field. You just have to get used to it and spread it out if you can afford it.
When you lay down the rope and determine the exact size of the field, the next step is to remove the depressed grass.
"Hmm? Wait?
I just took the mowing sickle out of the subspace and thought fu. Either way, I was wondering if it would be faster to mow it all at once with a spatial slash than to mow the grass with a sickle.
"Space slaughter"
Activate magic by targeting grass growing in a range separated by rope.
When the ground rinse space was cut from the roots of the grass, the grass was simultaneously cut at the roots to see if that was also reflected in reality.
"Oh, this is so easy"
I quickly cut off the grass growing in the field. There would still be roots, but that would be easy to dig out if you plowed the soil with the bamboo.
It is a pleasure to be able to significantly cut what can be considered the most painful task.
They collect cut grass trees and pull them over to the edge of the field. Then when you take the scythe out of the subspace, it removes the roots as you plow the soil.
"Yeah? Digging up dirt can also be done by spatial distortion... no, I don't think that's dangerous, so let's not do that"
I feel like I could do it, but the field is going to be weird, so I just decided to weigh myself down.
Dig up the dirt by protruding Zach Zach and Xu very hard. That's all the work to do. Pretty plain, but I didn't hate this simple task.
Because I admired waving it like this, surrounded by nature.
"Hey, Cleto. I'll split the fertilizer we use, so the next time I plow it, mix it up - and say no more.
Are you plowing it?
"Ah, Mr. Andre! Thanks!
As he was plowing the soil, Andre spoke to me with a hemp bag that seemed to contain fertilizer.
"I thought I was still mowing the grass..."
"The troublesome mowing made it a little magical and fun"
"... what kind of magic did you use?
Andre asks, so I activate a space slaughter on the grass around the field.
Then, as earlier, the grass was severed alone.
"Here's the thing"
"... I'll do this fertilizer, so can you remove the weeds from our garden with that?
"Didn't you split it for me?
"Exchange terms."
Until just now, they said they've created an atmosphere that gives them free.
I'd like to ask if you could help me grow crops, but they've already asked me to talk to them about seeds and even crops. I just couldn't say anything thicker.
"Then let's just decide to remove grass for the range using fertilizer. That's reciprocal."
"Dude, isn't that too fine!?
"It's a joke. I'll take it, but all I do is prune, right?
It doesn't matter if it's extensive because it can be magically easy to get to that point, but it's a bit of a heavy labor because it needs to be used to exterminate it to its roots.
"Oh, that helps. And I don't know. Don't joke about negotiating with merchants."
"It's okay. 'Cause real merchants are scarier."
"... that's not reassuring at all."
That day, I mixed fertilizer in my cultivated fields and cut the weeds around the Andre family's home with spatial slaughter.
