Let’s talk about it later
The person buying rice today was Shen Yunxi. At night, she secretly changed the rice without anyone noticing.
Now there are only three cows in the village, so a total of three plows were bought. There were 15 households, 15 shovels, 15 hoes, and 15 sickles, and all the money was spent.
After loading the truck, Chief Tian took the young and middle-aged people in the village to reclaim wasteland on the barren hills.
Women cannot do heavy work, but they can cut and weed together and open up wasteland.
Shen Yunxi and Zheng Guizhen also followed.
After cutting the grass on the hillside, the villagers began to plow the land with their oxen, pulling up all the grass roots on the ground and making the land soft.
Then build terraces and ridges according to the terrain.
There is a stream flowing down from the mountain. You can dig a ditch directly to divert the water, and then it can flow into the fields.
Shen Yunxi felt distressed when she saw the village chief leading people to scatter seeds directly in the terraced fields.
In modern scientific planting methods, it is best to soak these seeds for two days before growing seedlings and then transplanting.
Not only is it conducive to subsequent weeding and management, but also it is conducive to increasing yields due to good ventilation.
There are obviously scientific planting methods, but Shen Yunxi doesn't know what to say.
Because even experienced farmers in the south don't know this planting method.
When she suddenly said it, no one else believed her.
Fortunately, these rice seeds are hardy to grow. Although yields will be affected, they should still produce good yields.
There is a thick layer of bird droppings in the forest. Some people spread the bird droppings directly on the ground.
Shen Yunxi quickly stopped him. "These bird droppings and some dead branches and leaves are used to make fertilizer, which is more fertile."
Tian Ergou said: "But the local old farmer said that he can pour the manure on the turned soil and pour the water on the ground. The land will become moist, and there should not be too much water in the ground. Then he can spread it These rice are ready. But the old farmer also said that he can’t put too much manure in the soil, because too much will damage the seeds.”
Chief Tian also nodded repeatedly: "When we bought iron plows, we talked to the old farmers who also bought iron plows, and they said the same thing."
In terms of farming, Village Chief Tian and Tian Ergou have absolute authority in the village. Shen Yunxi can't say anything.
In this case, Shen Yunxi will not argue. Let's talk about it later.
"Then listen to the old farmer!" Shen Yunxi replied: "But I dug some sweet potatoes in the dense forest on the other side of the Qingmei River. They are delicious. I want to find a place to plant them. If the yield is high, I will I’ll give you some seeds for free.”
The old man took his children, and the half-grown children dug wild vegetables or fished by the river.
A man worked hard all day but didn't have enough food.
Tian Datou was very unhappy. He shouted to the village chief: "Village chief, you see, we cultivate wasteland from morning to night. The food we make now is wild vegetables. How can we work hard?"
Chief Tian looked at what everyone was eating. He didn't feel full either. He looked at Yang Dacui, who was in charge of cooking. "Dacui, is there nothing to eat?"
Yang Dacui sighed: "We don't have much food left. In the last two days, we ate food from me and Youqing's family, but our food was almost running out. We asked others for food, but they were unwilling to give it to us. .I can’t go to other people’s homes to grab food, right?”
Yang Dacui was very angry today. People who had food to eat were unwilling to take it out, so they still ate with the villagers.
When Chief Tian heard this, his forehead veins jumped and he was furious. "Who are these people? They eat together without food. Big head Tian, you still have something to eat. Why don't you take it out?"
