Chapter 340: Cultivating Cassava, Returning with a Full Load!(4k)
Uninhabited island.
Burning and farming.
This kind of live broadcast is not a novelty.
It's not unnovel.
And after Lu Yu's explanation, such an unconventional primitive farming method finally broke into the vision of civilization again after being forgotten for thousands of years.
Everyone wants to see it.
How did the slash-and-burn farming, which dominated nearly half of the course of farming civilization, come to be interpreted by Lu Yu.
"it!"
"Is slash-and-burn farming okay?"
"6666, we are about to enter the era of farming!"
"It's all planted!?"
"I don't know what the anchor is talking about, but it feels so awesome!"
"Douyu's No. 1 outdoor anchor farms live and farms live, earning 10 million per month!"
The curiosity of the audience can be understood.
It also makes sense.
But for these primitive technologies, they are just curious, and do not appreciate the deeper meaning.
In the primitive society, the slash-and-burn farming method has made great contributions to the development of human beings.
This is an indisputable fact in any world.
But here, due to the change of the world's attributes, people don't pay much attention to this kind of primitive farming.
You can see it from the audience's reaction.
Everyone is just curious.
Feel fresh.
As for the reason, it should be that after the discourse of environmental protection and ecology entered the mainstream ideology, the science and technology of this "civilized society" became more and more developed, and the culture became more and more diverse.
The slash-and-burn farming of migratory agriculture has been labeled as the enemy of the ecological environment and has been tragically deforested.
Some people even compare slash-and-burn farming with small foot binding, arguing that it does not qualify for cultural diversity.
But in fact, these self-proclaimed advanced people often do not know how the people they call backward survive, and how the mode of production they call backward is produced!
Still, it doesn't matter.
Today, Lu Yu will use his practical actions to show them the wisdom and strength of his ancestors!
When you speak, pick and choose.
The bamboo basket is already full of dead branches and leaves.
Just cut some more shrubs, and it's pretty much the same.
So, back to the camp.
Lu Yu immediately picked up the stone axe and captured some low shrubs near the hut.
Mix it up with dead branches and leaves.
All of them were laid on the farmland that was ready to be cultivated.
Subsequently.
He took another long bamboo pole and broke it up, covering every corner as much as he could.
"Burning waste land is an important part of reclamation, and it must be burned thoroughly. β
"If necessary, it's not too much to come twice. β
"Of course, the soil conditions here are not so bad, and it should be no problem to get more firewood...... Okay, all that's left to do is start the fire, set it on fire, and wait for the burn to finish. β
Turn back to the hut.
Lu Yu took a small piece of red-hot charcoal from the bonfire and threw it on the farmland.
Although the firewood is mixed with shrubs.
But because it's dry enough.
Still very flammable.
Less than a few seconds.
Wisps of green smoke came out of itβ
"A wisp of smoke on the mountain, a fine of three thousand under the mountain!"
"Set fire to the mountain, sit in the bottom of the prison!"
"A puff of smoke on the mountain, a fine of fifteen thousand!"
"In the whole Douyu, I can't find a second anchor who dares to farm with his bare hands......"
"The anchor wants to be hot!"
The fire grew bigger and bigger.
After a while, the whole field was on fire.
During this period, in order to control the fire, Lu Yu has been guarding the side.
While chatting with the audience.
From time to time, he slapped the bamboo pole twice.
Soon.
About an hour later.
All the burning things on the ground have been burned up.
It is covered with a thick layer of plant ash.
"Well, brothers, it's almost. β
Standing up, Lu Yu flipped twice on the ground with a bamboo pole:
"With plant ash, the nutrient availability of acidic soils is not only greatly improved, but at the same time, the soil becomes more fertile. β
"Now is definitely the best time to ridge. β
Ridge formation, also called ridge.
The aim is to make the crops grow better.
Thus increasing yields.
According to different cultivation conditions, ridge formation can be divided into small ridge single row, large ridge double row, large ridge single row and other forms.
However, for a crop like cassava, there are no special requirements for ridges.
As long as each ridge is a single row of seedlings can be planted.
"After the land is burned, it is the most important thing to plant - ridge formation. β
"To put it mildly, it even directly determines the yield of cassava. β
"There are many benefits to ridge formation, which allows the crops to receive more light and promotes root growth and development, which is very important for root tuber crops, and if there is enough rainfall, it can greatly shorten the maturity period. β
Usually, cassava is sown in season, mostly in January and February.
So it's a good time to go.
However, because of the cassava found, the variety is unknown.
What exactly is the growth habit of this crop?
Lu Yu didn't know either.
I can only try.
As he spoke, he picked up his stone axe and came to the end of the farmland.
I flipped through the ground first.
Then he ploughed a deep ravine in the field in a straight line.
Next, measure the distance.
Still the same operation.
Two ravines are one ridge.
When the time comes, just plant the cassava stems on top of it.
According to the area of the farmland, it should not be difficult to raise six or seven ridges in this field.
One after the other.
Lu Yu held the stone axe in his hand and bowed down.
In a short time, the farmland was completely renewed, and there were seven ridges of land.
Take a closer look.
The spacing between the ridges is equal
It's about a dozen centimeters.
It looks very neat.
Of course.
The disadvantages are also obvious.
Since there is no hoe to take advantage of, the depth of the ridges is different.
The wiring is not straight either.
However, it is not easy to do this under limited conditions.
It may not seem so professional.
But as long as it can blossom and bear fruit and achieve its goal, it really doesn't matter whether it is professional or not.
After all, the stomach is the most important thing.
No matter how beautiful the ridge is, if you can't grow anything, it's for nothing.

"Can't you see that the anchor is still a good farmer?"
"It's really awesome!"
"Farming game dΓ©jΓ vu!"
"It's amazing, without two brushes, this can't be dealt with at all, the anchor is a person with a story!"
"Feather God: It's all forced by life~"
Once the farmland is completed, it is time for formal cultivation.
The method of cultivation is simple to say.
It's basically two steps.
First, cut the seed stems.
Second, insert it into the ridge.
It doesn't seem to be that difficult.
But in fact, this is not the case.
There are still a lot of precautions in the planting process.
Stem selection, cuttings, drainage and irrigation, post-protection and so on, all need to spend some thought.
If you don't do one step correctly, accidents may happen.
β¦β¦
Rested for a while.
Lu Yu picked a few branches about thirty centimeters long in the firewood.
Then, according to the pre-made markings, I found the tree and checked the growth of cassava.
A few days.
The root block hasn't changed much.
The surrounding stones are still intact.
There are no signs of destruction.
"It's okay...... It seems that no one on the whole island is interested in this thing except me. β
As he spoke, Lu Yu squatted down and chose a few rhizomes with more shoots.
Then, prepare the sticks first.
Then use a stone knife to cut off the rhizome.
The length of the stem should be about 15 cm.
Too long or too short is not conducive to cultivation.
After cutting, the seed stem is obtained.
Lu Yu gently wrapped the newly tender stems and leaves around the wooden stick, and explained softly:
"When choosing stems, try to choose parts with more shoots to ensure the survival rate. β
"Then, like I did, wrap them around the sticks and fix them completely...... In this way, a seed stem is in hand......"
At this time, in the live broadcast room, someone asked what the wooden stick was for.
Lu Yu said:
"Sticks can support the fragile stems and provide a good environment for them to grow. β
"This thing, when the cuttings are made, the stems are completely rooted, and they can be removed. β
"In fact, not only cassava, but many crops will use this method. β
In the barrage, after a 666, Lu Yu buried his head and continued.
One comes and goes.
Using this method of seed extraction, in a short time, he collected five or six rhizomes with young shoots on cassava.
The maturity of the stems is fairly passable.
The surface is emerald green.
The distance between the root nodes is also in accordance with the standard.
The bark of the stem is relatively intact.
Hydrated and full.
If you really plant it, it will take root soon.
β¦β¦
Theoretically, three or four mature cassava plants can obtain many kinds of stems.
At least fill the entire vegetable garden, not a problem.
However, you can't choose too many at once.
Try a few first.
If you can insert skewers in batches, it's not too late.
After a while, the seed stems were selected, and Lu Yu returned according to the road.
Come to the vegetable garden.
"Stem selection is the first step in growing cassava, and at the same time, it is a very important step. β
Everyone should have heard of the phrase "Genzheng Miaohong", yes, that's the truth. The quality of the seed stems is directly related to the subsequent growth of cassava. If you don't want to go hungry any longer, you'd better be cautious. β
"Cassava is the only carbohydrate crop that I can trust and cultivate with confidence, so we can't mess it up. β
"To put it exaggeratedly, whether you can have food and clothing in the future depends on it. β
Half-jokingly.
Lu Yu walked to the first ridge.
Hand holding the stem.
Ready to start cutting.
"Cutting, is to insert seedlings, what you have to do is to cut the stems, according to a certain distance, grasp the depth, and insert them into the ridge in turn. β
Finding the established position, he properly arranged the stems and leaves on the stem.
He gently inserted the stick, which was wrapped around the stems and leaves, into the soil.
Subsequently, cover it with earth.
"Don't go too deep, because you need to keep the soil loose and aerate, otherwise, the organic matter in the grass ash and weeds that has not yet rotted will affect the emergence of stems and leaves and the maturation of roots. β
"There are three ways to insert skewers, including flat, oblique and straight. β
"Cultivating cassava is mostly used in-line, this method, the seedlings emerge quickly, the effect of wind and drought resistance is also good, when the rainy season comes, the weather in the island will become very bad, in order to cope with this situation, in-line insertion is a good choice, and the operation is relatively simple. β
That's it.
The content should be more professional and professional.
After listening to it, many viewers in front of the screen shouted incredible!
"666, what a professional!"
"I seriously doubt that Feather God was a farmer before!"
"Damn, this wave of operations is true 6!"
"The amount of knowledge is comparable to the existence of an encyclopedia!"
"It's amazing!"
When there are different opinions.
Lu Yu's trajectory along the ridge.
Move in turn.
Soon, all six stems were neatly planted in the soil.
Finally, in order to promote the growth of the roots, it is convenient to absorb nutrients.
Lu Yu reserved enough distance between each stem.
In this way, after the emergence of seedlings, the growth environment of the seed stem will not be limited.
The root blocks below can also grow unscrupulously.
β¦β¦
"That's about it. β
Standing between the ridges, Lu Yu patted the soil on his palm, and said while thinking:
"Plant these first to see what happens, and if the seedlings can emerge smoothly, let's continue and take the rest of the stems. β
"After inserting the skewers, the work behind it will be much easier. β
"Later, if you have time, you can build a fence around the garden to prevent wild beasts from invading, or you can set up a scarecrow. As for irrigation and drainage, it's even simpler. It's not far from the water source, and the problem of drainage and irrigation is really not a problem......"
As he spoke, Lu Yu controlled the drone and flew around the top of the vegetable garden.
I took a look at the details.
As a result, the barrage quickly exploded.
The blockbusters are all 666.
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Lu Yu simply chatted with the audience, popularized a lot of knowledge about primitive agriculture from them, and received a large number of gifts.
β¦β¦
Chatting and talking.
The sun has turned westward.
The afterglow of the setting sun.
Once again, the island was cloaked in a dazzling fiery red.
At the end of the day's work, my stomach was hungry.
Putting on the small pot, Lu Yu first went to the stream to fetch water, and checked the hunting spot by the way.
Then he took a shortcut and went to the West Coast.
Prepare to see if there are any unexpected catches from the fish basket that was placed yesterday after a night of precipitation.
If so, today's dinner is over.
Soon, less than an hour.
After arriving at the place, Lu Yu hurriedly walked to the reef and poked his head out to take a closer look.
Because there are two insurances: stones and bark ropes.
At this moment, the fish basket is sinking under the water without moving.
The line of sight is across the water.
Look through the cracks in the bamboo strips.
Vaguely, you can see something swimming in the basket.
It seems like a lot.
Seeing this, Lu Yu was overjoyed, hurriedly controlled the drone, and pointed the camera underwater:
"Today, my luck seems to be good......"
"I guess I caught something. β
As he spoke, without waiting for the audience to react, he hurriedly untied the rope.
With both arms in unison, he pulled the basket up from the water.
"Oh, it's so heavy......"
Uproarββ!
In the next second, after a lot of effort, the fish basket finally came out of the water.
Countless fish, shrimp, crabs and a variety of marine life.
Jump around.
Countless splashes in front of the camera!
"666, so much?"
"Fisherman!"
"What's that red thing?"
"Awesome, my God!"
"......"
Quite fruitful!
There are many kinds of dried shrimp, sand crabs, scallops, sea cucumbers, and colorful sea fish.
A basket full of them!
But among them, the most surprising thing for Lu Yu was the brightly colored Pacific Australian lobster that weighed at least three catties......
