It turned out that the stones deliberately left while clearing the sandy soil were only enough to build the outer wall of the cave dwelling, leaving a huge gap in the materials for the walls separating the three rooms inside.
Chen Zhou originally planned to spend half a month transporting and accumulating stones.
After carefully comparing the priorities, he still felt that farming was more important and decided to postpone building the walls and prioritize opening up the land.
In his hometown, all farmland had been used for years, and children had no idea of the process of opening up large fields.
Speaking of land development, Chen Zhou had only expanded Grandma's vegetable garden.
But that was also land that had been planted with crops before, not strictly wasteland.
Apart from his daily experiences, he learned about a very primitive farming method at school—slash-and-burn agriculture.
This farming method is mainly used in large areas of primitive forest land.
