In the evening, Sister Li reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Yun, today is the so-called harvest for Sister Li, the mature operation mode of the new workshop, which is an intangible wealth that cannot be bought with any amount of silver. No, it should be said that this one-stop service production model is completely an invisible cornucopia, and Sister Li returned to the town with this unexpected harvest with satisfaction.
In February, the Yang family had already pickled mustard greens, and Yang Yun asked the Zhu family to buy them, but this time because there were too many pickled mustard greens, there were eight acres, and the Zhu family did not finish the purchase. Except for pickles and sauerkraut, which can be served as a large dish, beets and spice beets are only suitable as side dishes, which are used as porridge or as a side dish before a meal. So the Zhu family didn't buy so many side dishes.
Yang Yun sold some of the side dishes to the pickle shop in the town, and next to Chow Tai Fook's grocery store, there was a pickle shop. Yang Yun saw that the family was a real family, so he put the pickled mustard greens there and sold them, and did not take their money, only let them sell the pickled mustard greens and then pay the Yang family. The part of the pickled mustard greens sold to the Zhu family earned thirty taels of silver, and half of it was given to the Li family, and the rest of the pickled mustard greens could only be paid when the pickle shop was sold out.
Linghai is in March and spring, and there is no cloud in the sky. The old cattle who ploughed the fields ignored passers-by. This is the best portrayal of spring ploughing.
Spring is the season of revival of all things, and it is also the season of sowing. Spring plowing in Zhoujia Village lasted for more than 20 days, and every household finally completed sowing. The Yang family's 15 acres of wasteland were also planted with grain. The five acres of wasteland on the back mountain are all planted with sweet potatoes.
Ten acres of wasteland under the right mountain, there are eight acres of wasteland planted with spring wheat, of which two acres of wasteland are planted with corn, and in the middle of the corn field, mung beans and peanuts are planted, the villagers are very curious about the planting method of the Yang family, but no one asks the Yang family, and Yang Yun did not take the initiative to tell the villagers. Uncle Li's wasteland has always been planted with the Yang family, so Yang Yun asked to interplant mung beans and peanuts in the cornfield, and the Li family also learned from the Yang family.
This morning, I came to Yang's house early to look for Yang Yun, and today is the day to make an appointment for the whole village to plant banana trees. Yang Yun followed Li Zheng to the wasteland below the left mountain, and when he went to the wasteland, the villagers were waiting for Yang Yun in the wasteland early.
"Uncle Lizheng, you let everyone measure the distance between the front and back and the left and right on the wasteland, that is, the distance between the banana tree and the left and right of the banana tree is five feet, and the distance between the front and back of the two trees is three feet." When Yang Yun arrived at Zuoshan, he commanded the villagers to work, and the fifty acres of wasteland under Zuoshan were planted in a large area, and banana trees must be planted at different distances.
"Yun girl, why do two banana trees have to be planted at such a distance?" Li Zheng didn't understand Yang Yun's planting method, according to Yang Yun's planting method, it was a waste of land.
"Uncle Lizheng, planting banana trees is the same as growing food, if there are too many seeds, trees will compete with each other for fertilizer, which will cause several saplings to be deficient in nutrients. You've also seen the banana groves in the back mountains, where banana trees grow in groups and piles. Banana trees grown in this way are not strong in the mother plant, and the bananas produced are also very small. ”
"Yun girl is right, but you ask for a distance of five feet from the left and right of the banana tree, which is too big."
"After these banana seedlings are planted, it will take about two years to bear fruit, and the distance between the left and right of the banana trees is five feet, which is prepared for our village, which can harvest banana fruits every year, and you also know that when the fruits of the banana trees are ripe, in addition to cutting down the whole bunch of banana fruits, even the mother plant that has produced bananas must be cut down together. According to the growth habits of banana trees, we can only harvest banana fruits twice in four years.
Now according to my method of reserving distance, to plant banana trees, this spring we will first plant the first row of banana seedlings, and then next spring, from the middle of the two banana trees on the left and right, the reserved width of five feet, and then plant another row of small banana trees, and when the first row of banana trees mature and cut down, the second row of banana trees planted every other year will grow, so that we can harvest banana fruits every year in the future. If I explain it this way, Uncle Lizheng can understand. ”
Yang Yun's method is to divide the wasteland into numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, and 4 rows of banana trees, plant 1 or 3 rows of banana trees in the first year, and plant 2 or 4 rows of banana trees in the second year, so that banana trees will not compete for nutrients. The first row of banana trees is planted for a year, and when it grows to a height of almost 1.5 meters, the second row of banana saplings can be planted. After planting banana trees in this cycle every year, you can harvest banana fruits every year.
"Understand, understand, this method said by Yun Yatou is so wonderful, according to this method, our village can indeed harvest banana trees every year."
"The distance between the front and back of the banana tree is also very important, because the branches and leaves of the banana tree are relatively thick and long, and the two banana trees should not be planted too closely, so that it is convenient for our villagers to come to the banana field to weed and fertilize. Banana trees like moisture, so when they are watered in the ground, they can dig a channel directly from the river to bring water in. In fact, Yang Yun's methods have already been written in the book and handed over to Li Zheng, and Yang Yun will just repeat it once.
"Okay, okay, I remember everything Yun girl said." Li Zheng listened to Yang Yun's explanation and nodded again and again to show that he understood.
Yang Yun saw that some villagers had begun to measure the distance in the field, so he took a few villagers to the banana forest in the back mountain, where Yang Yun had marked the location of the banana seedlings earlier, and the banana seedlings were dug up and planted directly on the wasteland. Yang Yun told the villagers to be careful when digging banana seedlings to prevent damaging the roots of banana seedlings. In this way, it took ten days for the people of the entire Zhoujia Village to plant banana seedlings on 50 acres of wasteland.
After planting banana trees, the villagers can have a good rest, from the eighth day of the first month to the present, the villagers of the entire Zhoujia Village have been busy for three consecutive months, and everyone can finally relax for a few days. But the Yang family never stopped, and in the spring, the Yang family began to buy raw eggs and came back to pickle them into salted eggs.
The poultry farm by the river has also hired people to build pig houses, and Yang Yun plans to build five pig houses and raise ten pigs. The chickens were also moved to the poultry farm by the river, the chicken and pig houses were demolished, and the Yang family's yard became spacious. In the past few days, Yang Yun has re-acquired, and two hundred ducklings have come back to feed. Yang Yong and Dabao went to the river every day when they came back from the school, and they went to the river to net fish and throw them into the pond to feed.
"Grandpa, at this time, the spring bamboo shoots can be harvested, you tell Li Zheng, let him ask the villagers to dig the spring bamboo shoots and come back to pickle, if they want to know how to pickle them, come and ask me." The work on the pond was done for the time being, and this morning Yang Yun mentioned the pickled bamboo shoots to her grandfather.
"Aren't we pickling bamboo shoots this year?" Grandpa was a little surprised, Yang Yun actually proposed not to pickle bamboo shoots this year. Grandpa has been thinking about digging spring bamboo shoots and coming back to pickle them in the past two days.
"Don't pickle it, I looked at the recent work arrangement, and our family doesn't have time to pickle bamboo shoots at all. The Zhu family will come to buy pickled bamboo shoots, and if we don't do this business, we will let it be given to the villagers. ”
Yang Yun is now focusing on the poultry farm by the river, as well as the workshop, and this will be the end of March, and in April, she will soak green plum wine, and the business of pickling bamboo shoots will be left to the villagers. Soaking green plum wine is more profitable than pickled bamboo shoots, and besides, the production time of these two things is about the same, Yang Yun weighed it and decided to give up pickled bamboo shoots.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Li Zheng, and I also want to tell Dabao's father, this business turned out to be made by two families."
"Well, then tell Uncle Li, we have to soak green plum wine in April, if you pickle bamboo shoots, you won't have time to soak green plum wine. If you want to eat pickled bamboo shoots, let's just get some back and pickle them, and don't sell pickled bamboo shoots this year. ”
"Well, I see, I'll tell Dabao's father." After the grandfather finished eating, he went to Lizheng to tell him about digging bamboo shoots. Zhou Li said honestly that the Yang family was kind, and he actually gave this business to the villagers. Grandpa said that the villagers took care of the Yang family, and the Yang family should also repay the villagers.
In this way, the whole people of Zhoujia Village entered the era of digging spring bamboo shoots and pickling spring bamboo shoots, Yang Yun watched the villagers dig a basket of bamboo and dig it to their homes, and the satisfied look on the faces of the villagers, Yang Yun was happy for them when she saw it. In this green and yellow season, selling pickled bamboo shoots can make a lot of money, and everyone is naturally satisfied with life with hope.
There were a few spring rains in spring, and the spring rains were as expensive as oil, and these spring rains rendered the earth emerald green. Yang Yun went to the wasteland when she had time, and the crops in the field were growing strongly. Everything is going well in the poultry farm by the river, and the ten little piglets are also brought back to feed, and the female rabbits fed at home also have good news, and in another half a month, the female rabbits will give birth to baby rabbits again.
The business of the workshop is also booming, and on the other side of the workshop, Yang Yun plans to recruit more girls. Since Sister Li came to Zhoujia Village last time, she listened to Yang Yun's opinions, and went back to make some adjustments to several shops, but the business is getting more and more prosperous, especially the shops in Nanxian County, the headdresses produced by the workshop are almost out of supply, so Yang Yun plans to start recruiting workers after pickling the green plum wine at the end of April.
April is the season when the green plums are ripe, and the Yang family and the Li family go out early and return late to pick green plums in the mountains every day. The last time I sold the green plum wine to the Zhu family, my grandfather and they had already gone to the Zhu family's restaurant and pulled the wine jar back to the Yang family. Grandpa, they went to the town by the way to buy liquor and came back. The plums are picked, washed, drained, and pickled with sake and sugar.
The two families worked hard for more than ten days, and finally filled the courtyard of the Yang family with large wine jars. This time, they specially bought a large wine jar filled with 200 catties, and grandpa and they went to the town to buy wine three times, and bought a total of 1,500 catties of liquor. According to the proportion of soaking green plum wine, the Yang family will be able to get more than 2,900 catties of green plum wine in the future.
One pound of liquor is eighteen wen, one thousand five hundred catties is twenty-seven taels of silver, one catty of sugar is twenty-five wen, and eight hundred catties of sugar is twenty taels of silver. The big wine jar, the jar of 200 catties is 180 wen apiece, and the ten large wine jars are 1,800 wen. The Yang family originally still had some jars, and the big wine jar only needed to buy ten. The cost of pickling green plum wine this time cost nearly fifty taels of silver, and this money was taken out by Uncle Li from home. (To be continued.) )
