Liu Baiquan was a little unhappy when he learned that his son was looking for vacant land everywhere to plant peppers: "Why don't you tell me about this? Your mother and I almost have our mouths grown in your house, and it is useless to ask for a vegetable garden." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If you want to use it, you can use it, can you find empty space everywhere?!"

"Then the second brother and sister have to scold your second elder for being biased again!"

"She scolds if she wants, can she still let a junior take it?!"

"Okay! I'll use most of your vegetable garden, and I'll leave a small half for you to grow your favorite vegetables!"

"You don't have to leave it for us, you use it all!"

His uncle's vegetable garden is bigger than his garden, and if he planted all the peppers, he would not be afraid of too much, but the key was that the straw ash was not enough. You have to think about it!

Hey, it's not easy to do anything!

When someone came to deliver the yellow eels and loaches, Liu Yujin told them again that his family also wanted clean straw ash that had just been taken out of the pot hole, and a rice basket (the kind of basket containing 50 to 60 catties of rice) straw ash for an egg. The big guys thought that Liu Yujin was going to accumulate fertilizer, but the price of this fertilizer seemed to be a bit high, but they were the ones who took advantage, so not only did they not gossip, but happily agreed. Early the next morning, I took out the straw ash from the hole in the pot (the straw ash cooled completely overnight, and then I took it out and put it anywhere without causing a fire.) Therefore, rural people are accustomed to digging out the ashes of the pot when they get up in the morning. Use it to exchange for eggs, for fear that people won't want it if it's too late.

With straw ash, there must be enough space to store it, and it must not leak rain, but it must be dry and ventilated. Step by step, there are more and more things, and the difficulty is getting bigger and bigger, and ordinary people may want to give up, but Liu Yujin is becoming more and more motivated. With his uncle, he built a thatched shed with bamboo walls on the eaves of the main house, two meters out of the yard, which was specially used to store straw ash and green and red peppers after August.

The father and son were busy with these things that only men could do, and Wang Hongying and Zhu Linglong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy cleaning up the vegetable garden and planting pepper seedlings. They are busy here, and the big pepper seedlings over there have also been planted in the ground, waiting for them to take root and grow into big peppers.

The days pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Dragon Boat Festival again, and you can start to break melons and sell them. The name of the book is Gourd, which floats on the surface of the water and grows fruit from the root system. This crop needs to be fertilized according to the growing season, similar to planting crops. It is okay to rely on the harvest without fertilization, but there are few fruits, and the growth period is short, dry and thin and easy to age, and the taste of fried is not very good. If you want to get rich from this, you need to fertilize a lot and not be stingy.

Liu Yujin planted cucumbers for the first time, of course he didn't understand this, but he was told by those who sent fish fry. There is a lot of water over there, and there are more of these water creatures, so of course they live more carefully on these things. Over time, if you pay more attention, you will find some of these tricks.

For example, planting lotus root: a pond with deep mud and more water will have a much higher yield per mu than a paddy field with shallow water and less mud. Lotus flowers can be picked, but lotus leaves cannot be broken, and the lotus leaves will rot the lotus root in the mud.

Another example is fish farming: there can be no black fish in the fish pond, and the number of fry in the fish pond with black fish is in vain, because the small fish will be eaten by the black fish. When putting fish fry into the reservoir, it is best not to put the fry directly inside, there are many big fish in the reservoir, and most of the small fry will become food in people's mouths, and it is best to raise them in a small fish pond or water tank until the size of three to five inches, and then put them into the reservoir. And this fish is not put in the water and left alone, it has to be fed once a day in the morning, distiller's lees chaff, broken grass, millet shrimp, maggots, poultry feces, these can be used as fish feed.

Another example is the cocoon white: The people here in Erhe Town have never regarded the cocoon as a thing, they are all stocked in the pond like water chestnuts, and whoever wants to break it can break it. But they don't, they plant and sell it like grain. Therefore, there is a lot of effort, which accumulates the experience of fertilizing the white.

Because Liu Yujin bought a lot of fish fry from their family, and knew that Liu Yujin's family had this business every year, it was a rare big business. On the one hand, they wanted to keep such a business, and on the other hand, because they sent fish fry over, even with food and accommodation, the Liu family entertained them very well, they were very moved, so they had the heart to help Liu Yujin. This taught Liu Yujin this valuable experience.

Although the fertilization is a little late in the later growth, it is still useful. Liu Yujin broke it down and took a look, it was indeed fatter and whiter than the old Jiang family's natural raising.

This fertilization has always been done by Lao Hai, and in such a short period of less than three months, it can be raised so well, which shows that Lao Hai has done practical things. broke enough to sell tomorrow, and didn't ask Lao Hai to send it, he picked it up himself.

When I got home, I put down the pick, and went to the kitchen to talk to my daughter-in-law: "Hong Ying! Brother Lao Hai earns 50 yuan a month from my family, and now he has at least 500 yuan in his hand, and he will continue to work in my family in the future, and his income will continue, so it is not a problem to find a woman to live. ”

Wang Hongying looked at his man and asked puzzledly, "Why did you suddenly remember to find a woman for Lao Hai?"

Liu Yujin shook his head: "No! The main reason is that I saw that he had been working in my house for a year, and he was very down-to-earth and quite alone." I wanted to help him, but he didn't have any relatives to help him. After all, he is now working in our house, isn't it natural for us to help Zhang Luo?!"

Wang Hongying nodded, then thought of something, frowned slightly and said, "What you said is reasonable, but I can't go to Zhang Luo for this matter." We are peers and not uncles and sisters-in-law, which is not good to say. I think it's more appropriate for my mother-in-law to help Zhang Luo!"

Liu Yujin understood what his daughter-in-law meant, "I know! When I turned around, I asked my mother and the three mothers next door to help Zhang Luo." ”

Xie Chengshu brought a few more to the market to buy and sell, maybe this is a new thing in the city, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary vegetarian dishes. In the past few days, there have been many people asking and few people buying, and the sales in the first few days have not been good. Xie Chengshu, Shounan, and Hong Shun were a little unbearable, and when they came back this day, they all gathered at Liu Yujin's house to discuss a way.

"Big brother-in-law, it's a problem that this melon can't be sold every day, do you think of any way to come?

Liu Yujin thought about it again and again, and shook his head: "This price can't be lowered, I'm not just a piece of this gourd now, I will sell the lotus root after a while, if the price of the gourd is too low, the price of the lotus root will also be low, and I can't mention it." ”

Xie Shounan couldn't figure it out, his mouth was fast, and he immediately asked his cousin: "Uncle cousin! This gourd and lotus root are two different things! Why is the price of gourd low, and the lotus root should also be lower?"

"Although the gourd and the lotus root are two different things, and they are not rare in the south, they are both fresh goods in our country, and they are both water crops. This man inevitably has to be compared, and this is one of them. The second is: if the sales are too cheap and the business is too good at the beginning, others will see the benefits, and they will naturally learn to grow lotus roots and gourds. If there's too much of it, it's going to be a mess. Think about it, what will it be worth at that time?"
