Chapter 53 Planting Soybeans

After burning the dried weeds, Li Yuqing and Chen Dazhuang began to work overtime to dig the ground. The land that has been barren for so long, and the weeds grow so luxuriantly, I think it should be nourished by the decaying grass every year, which can also show that the soil of this land should not be thin, and the soil quality of the dug soil is relatively soft.

Li Yuqing decided to plant the soybeans first, and then compost and water the ground, hoping to have a good soybean harvest next year and promote it widely in the village.

After turning over the ground, smashing the soil with a shovel, picking out the grass roots inside, I was busy for two or three days, and while the soil was still very wet, I mobilized the whole family to plant soybeans together.

Let Li Congwen drive the ox cart, Chen Dazhuang and the villagers who helped carried the large tank of water to the ox cart. One was not enough, so he borrowed the water tank of Li Daniu's house to fill the tank with water. Carrying a small wooden bucket and scoop, he let Li Congwen drive the ox cart away, watching Li Congwen pull the big vat to the mountain to pull everyone was very puzzled, Li Yuqing was very busy himself, and he didn't bother to explain to them.

I stumbled along the way, the water was spilled, and the mountain road was very difficult to walk, but there was no way, I had to hope that I would run back and forth to carry water and water the beans without being tired to death. Li Yuqing also brought Li Minghao with him, the reason is that he has no one to take care of him at home, and when Chen Dazhuang digs a pit when he grows beans, he can help put beans and bury the seeds. Li Yuqing carried the bucket, and Li Yuxin could scoop water for watering, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

Because there is also reclaimed wasteland around, the more people come and go, the road becomes a road, and the ox cart walks at the foot of the hill that is not very smooth, which is not strong. When he reached a place where there were still dozens of meters, because there was only one family around, and it had been deserted for a long time, so there was no way to pass, Li Yuqing asked Li Congwen to wait over there, anyway, it was not far away, compared to coming here from the village, it was really lucky.

Chen Dazhuang had never seen soybeans and didn't know how to grow them. Although Li Yuqing has never planted it, her grandparents have planted it in modern times, no matter how she has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, she still knows how to draw a scoop with a gourd.

First of all, the ground is finished, the soil is relatively fine and soft, there was no artifact in ancient times, so it can only be buried with an iron shovel.

I thought I wasn't very sure, Li Yuqing dug a pit of about 15 to 20 centimeters, and he was not sure, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Anyway, sometimes you can live if you throw a seed, but you can't live if you cultivate it yourself. After thinking about it, I chose a bundle and a half, about 35 to 40 centimeters, because there is no way to verify the specifics now, so I can only resign myself to fate.

After the demonstration, Li Yuqing asked Chen Dazhuang to dig along the edge of the reclaimed land and dig as he had just demonstrated. Li Minghao obediently carried a small basket, with bean seeds in it and stood behind him, with a pair of big eyes dripping and turning with indescribable cleverness.

Chen Dazhuang took the shovel, shoveled the ground with the shovel foot to dig a pit, used his fingers to compare the depth, felt that it was not enough, dug again, compared once and found that it was deeper and buried some soil in it. Li Yuqing looked very entangled with black lines on her head, is it necessary. It is estimated at this rate that after planting the latter and the front ones have germinated.

Hurriedly explained to Chen Dazhuang, "Uncle, there's no need to be so precise, I don't know, I'm just talking about it." ”

Chen Dazhuang was embarrassed when he heard it, "I, I've never seen this rare thing, I thought I had to do what you said." ”

"It's okay, as long as it's the same, it's not early now, and Hao'er can't stand it if it doesn't start to heat for a while." Strive to finish it today, and you won't have to suffer tomorrow. Li Yuqing rubbed Li Minghao's fluffy little head and said, Li Minghao was like a kitten, his head rubbed in Li Yuqing's palm.

Just do it, Chen Dazhuang didn't have much, and told Li Minghao to put 3 to 4 soybeans in a pit. In the past, some people said that only 2 or 3 seeds could be put in, but now in ancient times, there was no fertilizer or anything, and the survival rate was unknown, so I put one or two more seeds to prevent the seeds from dying.

Li Minghao obediently behind Chen Dazhuang, he dug a pit, Li Minghao put 3 to 4 beans, to see if they were put in, if they didn't put it in, kick it in with their feet, and sweep the excavated soil back in with their feet.

Li Yuqing, Li Yuxin followed, Li Yuqing carried a bucket, and Li Yuxin scooped water to irrigate. As soon as Li Congwen saw that Chen Dazhuang had dug a lot of pits, Li Minghao couldn't let it go, so he helped him put it, and when he saw that Li Yuqing's water was gone, he helped her carry the water, and he was busy for a while.

When the two tanks were watered, the sun was in the middle. After packing up their things, Li Yuqing told them to go home and rest first, and they just had to come and plant later in the afternoon. Now there is no water, and I can't water it even if I plant it. One by one, their faces were flushed and sweaty.

Li Minghao's little face was even more red like boiled shrimp, Li Yuqing thought that he would not be able to stand it when he was young, but he didn't say a word, so Li Yuqing was very relieved that he was really a sensible and good boy.

When he went back, Li Yuqing hugged Li Minghao, who was tired and still pursed his lips and insisted, to the ox cart, kissed his little face, and praised him for being a little man.

Li Minghao's eyes were crooked with joy, and he smiled stupidly.

After returning home, Li Yuqing brushed the pot and cooked, and he was very tired after a busy morning, and Chen Dazhuang couldn't stand it a little, (although he was an adult, he couldn't bear the heavy work) not to mention the rest of the children.

Left Li Congwen to eat at home, the rice he made at noon, and when he first came, he caught pheasants that were still laying eggs every day, and he saved up for a few days and fried a big bowl with toon. The family has been buying meat every once in a while, so I fried another meat. If it weren't for the fact that she was really tired, Li Yuqing would still want to fry more vegetables to treat them.

It is estimated that he is too tired from work, even the little pudding Li Minghao has eaten a big bowl of rice, not to mention other people. In the end, after eating all the food, Li Yuqing was afraid that she would not eat enough, so she didn't feel dry and ate more, afraid that they would not be full in the end.

In the end, she was a little glad that she was wise, but fortunately she didn't eat much. Thinking about Li Yuqing, she still underestimated the amount of food after finishing her work.

Li Congwen came over to help after taking a nap, and when Li Yuqing and the others arrived, they had just gotten up. Because there was only a little left to plant, Li Yuqing didn't let Li Yuxin and Li Minghao go in the afternoon, anyway, with Li Congwen's help, it would be done soon.

As Li Yuqing expected, it was all planted in less than an hour, because there was a bit too much in the early stage, and in the end, two beans were put in each pit. After everything was done, I looked back and saw that the land I had worked so hard to cultivate was already full of soybeans. The next step is to wait for them to sprout and grow. When you have expectations in your heart, you are motivated.

After planting the beans, the next step is to look at its germination rate, if the germination rate is not good, put down half.

In the later stage, it is to wait for the growth point, weeding and fertilizing from time to time.

This is equivalent to newly cultivated land, the soil quality is okay but not very fertile, and it will be fertilized in the later stage, Li Yuqing can think that fertilizer is something produced by people themselves, so the back is how to transport the swill in the village.

Hey, it's a headache to think about. It's still good to be modern, everything is ready-made. You don't have to rack your brains like you do now to think of some modern, high-tech alternatives.
