At that time, when young people were still raising pigs and bungee on the farm, Jiang Wenfei, a post-90s girl in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province, had moved the virtual game scene of "Happy Farm" into real life. She not only sits on a 4-square-meter balcony vegetable garden, but also has a "mini farm" in the 70-square-meter house, where more than 10 small animals such as rutin chickens, maned lion lizards, corn snakes, spiders, hamsters, etc., are properly "big families" with solid families.
After graduating from university, Jiang Wenfei, a teacher major, started a business with several small partners and opened three youth research companies in the local area. "The impact of the epidemic on our work is quite large, working from home has become the norm, and the frequency of cooking is very high. Originally wanted to grow some vegetables, cook vegetables when the plate looks better, but did not expect that the more planted later, the more vegetables are grown, the more happy to grow vegetables. Last winter, Jiang Wenfei entered the pit vertically into the "balcony small vegetable garden".
"At that time, I really didn't understand anything, obviously it was winter, and I had to stubbornly buy seeds and wait for them to germinate, and the vegetables planted were either premature and premature, or 'stunted'." Later, I went directly to the farm to buy vegetable seedlings, transplanted them from the nursery grid to my own pot, and the success rate was very high. ”
"The cost of growing vegetables is very low, 3 yuan of seeds, 5 yuan of gallon pots, 10 yuan a pot of vegetable seedlings have 40 plants, the total cost of less than 50 yuan, you can plant a balcony, now a month of vegetables can be managed enough." In Jiang Wenfei's 4-square-meter world, in addition to the common peppers, shallots, garlic leaves, coriander, greens, lettuce, and chicken feathers, she has recently sown seedlings of oil wheat vegetables and small tomatoes, lush, and more than 20 kinds of vegetables and fruits are particularly bright under the sun. Now that the temperature rises in the spring, vegetables grow faster than in winter, such as lettuce, which can be harvested on average once a week. When you can't finish eating, share it with your friends and neighbors.

"I am a very easy person to satisfy, every day as soon as I open my eyes, I see the greenery on the balcony, and I can feel better all day. Moreover, the power of growing vegetables is mutual. Every time you work, you will get it, and you will feel very solid. Jiang Wenfei said that the happy state of life can also be contagious to each other, and now 4-5 friends around her have also followed into the pit, seriously searching for balcony vegetable strategy, feeling that it is imminent to master this skill." People don't want to be able to eat that bite of vegetables, just try a few more lifestyles. ”
"Usually I don't play games, I don't chase dramas, and when I work, I go around the vegetable garden, water, hoe, or pick up my little animals, relax and change my thinking." In addition to taking care of this small vegetable garden every day, Jiang Wenfei's "mini farm" also has more than 10 small animals, including orange cats and rudding chickens commonly used by domestic pets, as well as maned lion lizards, corn snakes, Brazilian giant golden retriever spiders, hamsters, sleeping mice and other exotic pets, and the "realistic version" of magical animals around.

Although there are many kinds, these small animals do not actually take up space, and a 1.6-meter dining table is enough to hold all the animals. They are also easy to raise, as long as they are well controlled, constantly water, constant electricity, completely effortless.
Corn snake
Jiang Wenfei put the corn snake in her hand and played with it: "The corn snake is fed once every 2 weeks." Because I didn't catch insects, our spiders haven't eaten in half a year. Sometimes being busy ignoring them doesn't feel guilty. "Rutin chicken is relatively troublesome, you have to maintain a temperature of 25-30 degrees, morning and evening change water."

Speaking of these exotic pets, Jiang Wenfei said that some of the vegetable gardens also serve them. "Maned lion lizard dragon dragon, hamster fat Ding, sleeping mouse monkey these need more water animals, a large part of the food is mainly vegetables, greens, lettuce, chicken feathers, spinach can be eaten." The outermost leaves of the vegetable are older and rougher, cut just enough to feed the rutin chickens. The manure of rutin chicken can also be used as fertilizer for vegetables, and recycled to achieve self-sufficiency. ”
"Everyone's impression of pets is more rigid, they will feel that they are cold-blooded and cold, and they think that the people who raise pets are somewhat perverted." At first, the elders in the family, especially the mother, were very disgusted and felt very dirty. "But I don't want others to have such stereotypes about them, so I try to make their nests clean and warm." Now my mother's attitude has changed greatly, and when I am not paying attention, I will secretly "communicate" with Long Longzi and Fat Ding.
Poetry and distance, only an arm's lengthStrictly speaking, childhood memories are the origin of my pastoral dreams. Grandma's family in the countryside of Xincang Town has her own vegetable garden, there is a river in front of the yard, half an acre of vegetable land is planted with seasonal vegetables, the yard is planted with peach trees, orange trees, pear trees, date trees, persimmon trees, and the backyard has chickens, ducks and geese.
At that time, lobsters were caught by themselves, and the brothers tied the toad cubs with ropes as bait. I still remember the scene when I was caught by my grandmother stealing mulberries from April to May. In the middle of summer, the jujube trees have just come to fruit, and the still turquoise dates are mixed with crimson patterns, not large, but sweet and crisp.
Seven or eight of us "little adults" will also form a "wild rice" expedition. Some people have a clear division of labor, some fish for lobsters, some use red brick clay stoves to set up large iron pots, some go to the vegetable field to steal peas, broad beans, sweet potatoes, small potatoes, and some go door to door to beg for oil, glutinous rice, pork, and bamboo shoots. I look forward to the moment when the lid of the pot is lifted and the smell of steaming wild rice is overflowing.
Looking at her current comfortable and comfortable life, Jiang Wenfei couldn't help but sigh: "Poetry and far away, only an arm long, I just want to eat every meal, live every day, live in the moment, do what I want." ”
Independent and courageous Jiang Wenfei, like many post-90s, loves travel, loves food, loves Hanfu, and will match the exquisite makeup according to Han costumes; this year, Jiang Wenfei set herself a small goal to become a pilot, "Currently taking the pilot driver's license, this year should be able to take the test ..."
Jiang Wenfei's story may be just a small cut in the urban lifestyle, but she never perfunctory, down-to-earth, and strives to create beauty and harvest in the matter of serious life.
