Chapter 480: Spring Comes to Plant Corn
"Well, it's delicious!It's delicious!This chicken soup is fragrant but not greasy, it's so delicious!!"
"This eel is still just as delicious, think about what kind of meal I've eaten at home during this time??"
Zhou Lao gulped down the delicious food on the table, and then thought that although the food at home was very good, the taste was 108,000 miles different.
"It's really like a starving ghost reincarnated!!" Seeing his old friend's rude appearance, Old Man Liu scolded with a smile.
"Hehe...... Old Zhou didn't refute, smiled and continued to taste the delicious food in front of him.
…………
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Feng was ready to go to the field to plant corn.
One or two points of waxy corn are enough for the family to eat for a long time, and the rest has to plant half an acre of high-yield corn to provide rations for the family's chickens and sheep.
"Crazy, I'll go with you!!" I haven't grown corn yet, so I'm a little curious.
"Hehe, okay, you can help me sow the seeds when the time comes. Zhang Feng smiled.
Growing corn is as simple as plowing the ground and leveling the soil, and the second step is digging a pit, sowing seeds, then fertilizing and finally covering the soil.
Carrying a few bags of dried chicken and sheep manure from the backyard to the car, these are the best natural fertilizers for growing crops.
"Sit down, let's go!!"
Let Yiyi sit next to him, take tools and manure, and gallop towards the back mountain.
In spring, the mountains are green
Colorful wildflowers also bloom along the roadside, and the whole land looks like a beautiful picture from afar.
Nature is so beautiful, and it is so natural, it is incomparably intoxicating, the breeze blows gently, and the strong smell of fragrant grass comes to the face, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.
"It's so beautiful!!" Looking at the receding scenery on the side of the road, Yiyi's face was intoxicated and couldn't help but admire.
"Hehe, it's really beautiful, when this time is over, let's go to Xishan for a spring outing, where the scenery is called a beauty, the mountains are full of green grass and flowers, and there are all kinds of beautiful butterflies, standing on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, light and sunset, are very beautiful!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.
"Is it really so beautiful??" Yiyi asked with a wistful expression.
"Of course!!" Zhang Feng nodded with a smile, where is really difficult to describe in words, only by being immersed in the scene, can you appreciate the shocking scenery there.
……
In the blink of an eye
The two came to the foot of Yangjia Mountain
The two small flatlands below the mountain are the land of Zhang Feng's family, which has always been used to grow corn.
However, this year, Zhang Feng is not going to plant all corn, except for planting six or seven points, other Zhang Feng is going to plant other fruits.
What to plant, Zhang Feng already had some vague ideas in his heart, but he hadn't made a final decision yet.
"Alright, Yiyi got out of the car. ”
Parking the car at three feet, Zhang Feng grabbed a bag of fertilizer in one hand and threw it into his own field.
"Crazy, how do you sow seeds??" Yiyi carried two small bags of corn seeds, looked at the loess in front of her, and asked Zhang Feng a little blankly.
"Hehe, don't be busy, I haven't dug the pit yet, when I finish digging the pit, you can just throw seeds into it. Just throw thirty seeds at a pit. ”
"Ah, that's how it was sown, I thought it was just sown in the ground!!" Yiyi said with a surprised smile.
"How is that possible, in ancient times, slash-and-burn farming was almost the same? Now it is all intensive cultivation, if you sow seeds casually, how can the corn in the field grow neatly and neatly?" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.
"Hee-hee, haven't I seen it before??" Yiyi smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhang Feng nodded slightly, knowing that Yiyi had lived in the city since she was a child, and she had never been exposed to farm work since she was a child, and she was not pampered, but the environment was different.
In the past, children played with mud in the mud all day long, playing marbles, peek-a-boo, and playing house, but now the children in the city, who still play these things, are almost all watching the joy and bald head, and the older ones play with the king poison, and accidentally poison the teammates.
It had just rained heavily two days ago
Therefore, there is still some humidity in the ground, and there is no need to worry about water shortages when growing corn.
"According to you, to plant corn, first dig a small pit one or twenty centimeters deep, and then you can sow the seeds. ”
"Hee-hee, is that so?" Yiyi grabbed a few grains of corn and carefully lowered them into the pit.
When Zhang Feng saw it, he smiled slightly, "Yes, that's it." ”
The super physical fitness made Zhang Feng's work extremely easy, and it only took half an hour for the digging to finish.
turned around and looked at Yiyi, only to see that the big beauty was still sowing corn, and her movements were already much more proficient, and she gradually seemed to be at ease.
Smiling, Zhang Feng opened the pocket containing the farmyard fertilizer, picked up the fertilizer with his left hand, grabbed the farmer's manure with his right hand and threw it into the pit where he had sown.
Some people may say that if you grasp it with your hands, will it be a little bit like that?
But who cares so much when doing farm work?
Whoa!!
Zhang Feng's speed is fast, like a fairy scattering flowers, grabbing the fertilizer and throwing it in the pit, in less than a quarter of an hour, most of the corn will be fertilized.
"Wow, madman, why are you so fast??" Yiyi asked in surprise, thinking about sowing corn seeds by herself, but it took a long time, but Zhang Feng finished fertilizing in less than a quarter of an hour, and the gap was too big.
"Hehe, what's this, practice makes perfect, and I have a lot of strength, carrying a bag of fertilizer is like carrying straw, and the work must be fast." Zhang Feng smiled and explained.
"Madman, shall we just fill in the hole?" Yiyi asked curiously again.
"Not bad!"
However, although the filling is simple, it is also a bit exquisite, and the map to fill in is best moist soil, and there can be no big bumps.
Moist soil can speed up the germination of seeds, and the hard soil will block the corn sprouts, so that the corn seedlings will grow into crooked melons and cracked dates, which will strongly affect the subsequent growth of corn.
"How long does it take for these corns to sprout, madman?" asked Yiyi curiously.
"Soon, as long as there is enough moisture, buds will grow in two or three days at most!!" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.
"Crazy, aren't we going to plant the rest??" Seeing that there was still more than half of the open space, Yiyi asked suspiciously.
"If you don't plant it, you can't eat it at home if you plant too much. Zhang Feng smiled and continued: "I plan to plant fruit trees for the rest, planting corn is not only troublesome but also less profitable. ”
"Oh!!" Yiyi nodded understandingly.
Planting corn on one acre of land is only a few thousand income per year, which is still the result of planting high-grade corn, and if you plant ordinary corn, you can have a thousand per year, thank God.
Therefore, Zhang Feng plans to plant fruit trees in the vacant land, of course, it cannot be ordinary fruits such as peaches and plums, but more advanced fruits.
