Chapter 28 Growing Vegetables
The next day, in the morning.
In the noisy sound of the alarm clock, Zhong Di very... No, I was absolutely reluctant to climb up.
As soon as I got dressed, I heard Uncle Zhang's voice, and the time was just right.
I started working at seven o'clock and worked until twelve o'clock, which was exactly five hours.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm really sorry to trouble you to bring your own lawn mower. ”
Looking at the lawn mower that Uncle Zhang was carrying, Zhong Di thought that these small machines must be made up another day.
"What the hell is this, do you have oil here? I'm running out of here, and I said I was going to get some some stuff that day, but I forgot about it. ”
"Yes, ready-made gasoline, absolutely sufficient. ”
Zhong Di took out the beaten gasoline as he spoke.
Uncle Zhang and the others were busy for a while, and then they began to mow the grass, two people mowing the grass and one person hugging the grass.
At this rate, today is basically done in one day, even if it is not finished, there is not much left, just do it yourself.
Watching Uncle Zhang and them mowing the grass, Zhong Di went to harvest the wild sand fairy buds as soon as possible, a total of sixteen leaves, and the amount of manure watered increased sharply, and the yield really went up.
It seems that buying sheep manure should be faster.
Just as he was about to pull weeds for the rabbit, the phone rang and it was my father calling.
"In a few minutes, there are five people to the orchard, you take people to plant vegetables first, they are all aunts and neighbors you know, I am pulling sheep dung here, and it will take about an hour to arrive. ”
Dad's voice was a little noisy, but it was still audible overall, and after he finished speaking, Dad hung up the phone.
Unexpectedly, just thinking about sheep dung, my father solved this problem.
After chopping the wild sand fairy buds and soaking them in water, Zhong Di began to prepare tools, as well as various seeds.
When the meeting comes, these tools must be prepared in advance, otherwise the work will be delayed.
Don't look at the delay of ten minutes and twenty minutes, but five people plus one, that is more than an hour, these aunts work hard, Ding Zhong Di works for two or three hours.
It must be done well.
Three rakes and hoes were prepared, and some small bowls of seeds were prepared, and finally the vegetable seeds were bought.
Spinach, oily lettuce, coriander, celery, leeks and other leafy vegetables, most of these vegetables have a short growth cycle, such as celery and the like, and the seedling period is very long, but Zhong Di still decided to plant it, as long as it can grow half a size.
In addition to these leafy vegetables, there are also various root vegetables, green radish, white radish, carrots, etc., which are originally autumn vegetables.
The reason why root vegetables are planted in late summer is actually because they need to survive winter and spring.
The role of spring is vernalization, which has experienced winter, successfully wintered, and then gathered energy and experienced a period of low temperature in spring before flowering and seeding and reproducing offspring.
From the end of summer to the beginning of the following summer, this is a complete cycle for most root vegetables.
"Is it Zhong Di's family?"
Just as Zhong Di was preparing, a woman's voice sounded and appeared at the gate.
"Alas, this is it. ”
Zhong Di hurriedly responded, and then went to open the door, the main reason why he kept the door closed was that he was afraid that the chickens would run out, and when the chicken pen was covered after a while, there was no need to worry about this.
"On my side, there are no requirements, a few aunts just need to plant these vegetables in the field according to your experience. ”
Zhong Di pointed to the seeds on the ground and said softly.
These seeds are a lot of seeds, and it is preliminarily estimated that at least three to four plots of land can be planted, and the area of jujube trees can also reach more than ten acres.
More than a dozen acres of vegetable land, it sounds less, but it is actually a lot, according to the yield of eight or nine tons per mu of radish, this is dozens of tons of vegetables, and the picking is loose enough.
I just don't know if this amount can be sold, so let's plant the ground first.
"Okay, we've also grown vegetables for other people, and we have basic experience, so if we don't have any requirements, then it's no problem. ”
An aunt of about one hundred and sixty pounds, twisting her stout body, began to look at the seeds.
The other four aunts didn't say anything, just followed to get tools and seeds or something.
It seems that this aunt, who is a little large, is the one who takes the lead.
In this kind of farm work, there is often a person with excellent ability and leadership ability in a group, and the rest of the people who do the work will basically listen to this person.
Don't look at the work that anyone can do like just planting vegetables, there are two differences between those who know how to distribute and those who don't know how to distribute.
Since it was chosen by my mother, it must be no problem, at least in my mother's circle, no problem.
"Alas... This celery, as well as this water spinach, seems to be unable to be planted, the seedling period is too long, it can't grow, and this leek, the temperature of this will not be known, whether it can germinate. ”
The burly aunt who was taking the seeds found the problem, her brows furrowed, she also has decades of farming experience, what can be planted and what can't be planted is still clear in her heart.
"Carrots can still be planted, but they are planted a little late, and they are estimated to grow large. ”
After saying some questions, the burly aunt wanted to confirm with Zhong Di.
Although it is a salary for heavenly wages, there must still be a job to have, and what should be said must be said.
When Zhong Di heard it, this burly aunt is a bit level, Zhong Di thought that if he didn't hire someone, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
Soon, Zhong Di dispelled this idea, and now that the income has not been raised, it is better to wait and see.
"According to your experience, it is up to you to sow seeds, sows, and sow holes, as long as you sow the ground. ”
As for whether it is suitable for the species... By the way, you can try that, as soon as he thought of a good idea, Zhong Di ran back to the stove room and came out with a bowl.
"When you are planting, soak the seeds in this liquid medicine and plant them, is it okay?"
Regarding these aunts' questions, Zhong Di had a whim, and was ready to try it with the Wild Sand Fairy Buds to see if there would be some changes.
"Is this a germinotropin?"
The burly aunt first glanced at the liquid medicine suspiciously, thought about it, and finally said this guess.
When I used to grow vegetables for others, I watched others use these liquids.
"It's not a hormone, it's a biological fungus, just soak it in Auntie, can you get it?"
Zhong Di asked again, if it is said that after soaking with this water, it will be troublesome to sow seeds, then forget it, as for the effect of the wild sand fairy buds on the seeds, just try it yourself.
For example, many seeds are very small, and when soaked in water, they are easy to stick together, so there is no way to sow seeds.
"Okay, no problem, just mix some dry sand and sow the seeds. ”
The burly aunt had already experienced this and responded directly.
After talking about some details, the aunts went to plant vegetables, and Zhong Di drove a tractor to pinch the time.
Dad said that it was an hour to come, and before that, how much can be rotated.
