Chapter 0029 - Busy Sowing
When Zeng Cheng woke up from his state of concentration, he found that the crescent moon had hung on the top of Baihuling in the west. I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was already about two o'clock in the morning.
The effect of this cultivation is not bad, although it is much worse than the first cultivation, but compared to the previous month's cultivation, it is much stronger. Because he had already crossed the threshold of the early stage of the first level of qi training, he had entered the middle stage of the first level of qi training. As for the change in this breakthrough, Zeng Cheng didn't feel it, because it was just a small breakthrough that couldn't be smaller.
However, Zeng Cheng still felt that the effect of this cultivation after the extreme consumption of true qi and primordial spirit was much stronger than the cultivation under ordinary circumstances.
Feeling the faint immortal aura emerging from the spring water in front of him, Zeng Cheng showed a smile on his face. Although he knew that these spiritual energy could not be absorbed by his family, drinking this aura-rich water regularly would cleanse his family's body and make them much healthier than ordinary people, and the effect was not much different from those vegetables grown in the Hundred Herbs space and the vegetables watered with the spiritual spring.
Taking a deep breath of air containing a faint immortal aura again, Zeng Cheng turned around, tiptoed back to his room, and then slept until dawn.
The next morning, Zeng Cheng had breakfast and drove into the city. Today, he needs to buy not only meat products such as fish and pork, but also vegetable seeds that will be sown.
A total of more than 120 acres of newly cultivated vegetable land, the area is not large, but it is not small, and there are also a lot of seeds needed. Zeng Cheng drove directly to the seed trading market in the city, where the seeds were relatively complete, and he could buy all the seeds he needed at one time.
It's the height of summer, and there are many kinds of vegetables suitable for sowing, so Zeng Cheng plans to plant more varieties without sowing too much area for each vegetable.
A few days ago, Zeng Cheng also went in and out of the vegetable market in the city many times, and roughly investigated the sales of various vegetables. This time, he planted vegetables in his own vegetable field, Zeng Cheng planned to plant more or less all kinds of vegetables, and determined the planting area of various vegetables according to the popular Cheng dรน in the market and the economic value.
Of course, it is also necessary to consider whether the climate and environment of Jiuli Township are suitable for planting. Even if he has the magic weapon of the Spiritual Qi Spring now, it is not a panacea, and some vegetables are still not suitable for cultivation.
Because there are many types of vegetables planted, the area of each type of cultivation is not too large. In Zeng Cheng's plan, the species with the largest planting area will not exceed ten acres, and the general species will be as little as one or two acres and as many as three or five acres.
Considering that the time of the vegetables on the market this time was after the National Day, when the temperature had begun to cool down, it was the season when Shicheng people began to eat hot pot and barbecue, Zeng Cheng specially expanded the planting area of coriander, lettuce, cabbage, lettuce, peas, green beans, cowpeas, eggplant, shallots, garlic and leeks These vegetables are planted.
Of course, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, which can be used as both vegetables and fruits, Zeng Cheng planted an area of ten acres, plus some were planted at home before, and the total planting area has even exceeded ten acres.
Although it is now August, Zeng Cheng has planted five acres of watermelons after careful consideration. The variety chosen is also the more popular early spring caramel.
It also took Zeng Cheng a lot of time to buy twenty or thirty kinds of vegetable seeds, and when he went to the vegetable market to buy meat for tomorrow and drove home, it was already in the afternoon.
After resting for a night, starting the next day, Zeng Cheng began to organize people to sow seeds by hand. But soon Zeng Cheng found out that he had overlooked a problem before, that is, the problem of fertilizer.
Because it is under the banner of green and pollution-free, it is necessary to avoid the use of chemical fertilizers in the planting process. Although Reiki spring water can provide aura, it cannot provide fertility. In this way, the only thing that can be chosen is farmhouse fertilizer.
Although Zeng Cheng's family also fed more than a dozen pigs and a cow, and the farmhouse fertilizer accumulated in the cattle pen and pigsty was not small, it was still a drop in the bucket to meet the needs of more than 100 acres of vegetable land.
In desperation, Zeng Cheng had no choice but to wave the red ticket again and buy it from the people in the village.
Fortunately, although a large number of villagers have gone out to work, most of the people who remain in their hometowns are the elderly and children, and each household uses very little fertilizer and has a large amount of inventory. After Zeng Cheng offered a high price, everyone was very happy to sell his manure to him. After all, everyone didn't expect that the manure that was originally piled up in their own pigpen and cattle pen, which was already flooded, would turn into a red Grandpa Mao.
The price given by Zeng Cheng is indeed not low, the manure in the pit has reached three yuan per pick (about 100 catties), and the price of pig nest grass and cow dung with strong fertility is even higher, reaching five yuan per pick (about 120 catties).
If you want to get this manure on the ground, it is not only a dirty job, but also a physical job, ordinary people can't do it at all, you have to be strong labor, and the amount needed is not small.
This time, he chose to pay according to the quantity, and in the case of being in charge of three meals a day, he was paid five yuan for each pick.
The lethality of this move is very powerful. Because Zeng Cheng basically bought manure from the Cheng family's big yard, the distance from Qilin Mountain is almost not more than a mile, for some people who have fast feet and good body, they can run three times an hour, even if they work for eight hours a day, it is also twenty-four picks, which is a full hundred and twenty yuan, which is equivalent to doing four days of small work in the city, and it is also a net income.
Because of this incident, several young people digging piles on the construction site in the city in the big yard ran directly back to their hometown and came to Zeng Cheng's house to do this work of picking dung.
Of course, because it is still the time for sowing, Zeng Cheng did not immediately apply those pig's nest grass and cow dung to the ground, but piled up manure in the originally prepared place on the mountain, and waited until the vegetables became seedlings before fertilizing. The actual manure applied directly to the field not only provides immediate fertility to the vegetable field, but also helps the vegetable seeds to germinate.
Looking at the dung pickers who kept shuttling back and forth from his vegetable field to the middle of Cheng's yard, Zeng Cheng thought that in order to manage the vegetable field well, I am afraid that he would have to hire a few long-term manure workers to reduce the operating costs of the farm.
