With all this busyness, the year-end came, and the entire fields of Xiangmu Village were lush green, with rapeseed and wheat growing exceptionally well.
Everyone said it was because the Jiang family raised pigs and shared the manure, so this year's crops could grow so well.
Even the stalks of the rapeseed and wheat were noticeably thicker!
The fish pond was also dug out, covering more than an acre, and approximately two meters deep. A circle of stone slabs surrounded it, which, although time-consuming, made it much safer.
Moreover, several steps were dug around the fish pond and paved with bluestone steps.
When the fish pond was finished, the bottom and surroundings were compacted several times with a stone rammer to effectively prevent water loss.
However, this made it inconvenient for planting lotus roots, so Jiang Hu decisively abandoned that idea, and instead, dug some trenches around to channel rainwater in, planning to raise fish and water hyacinths once there's water.
