When the third room of the Chang family heard this, their hearts hung up, and they hurriedly asked what was going on.

One of them, a villager named Wang Dali, said: "Brother Sheng didn't want you to know about this, but my brothers and I still feel that I have to tell you, hey, it's not easy for Brother Sheng to be outside." ”

Seeing that the other party couldn't talk about it for a long time, Grandma Sun was suddenly a little anxious, "What the hell is going on, you hurry up." ”

"It's not the Qian family, although those people didn't say it explicitly, they must have something to do with the Qian family. The restaurant basically collected, but those grocery stores were not willing to accept it, and if they didn't accept it, it would be ugly, if Brother Sheng hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to fight with the thief boy. ”

Wang Dali took a vicious sip, very unconvinced. Wang Dali is a calm person, and he usually has a good temper, but now he has this attitude, which shows how ugly those words are.

The faces of the people in the third room of the Chang family were a little ugly, and Grandma Sun cursed directly, "This Qian family who killed a thousand knives, they didn't even let go of our little business, why didn't there be a thunderbolt to kill them!" ”

Father Chang didn't say anything, but said to the two of them: "It's hard for you to go back and forth, it's not too early, you should go back and rest quickly, and come to my house to eat and drink when Ming'er is empty." ”

The two of them said: "Uncle, you are too polite, we all took the money and worked hard, and we will continue to be called for this kind of thing in the future." ”

When the two left, Chang Xile talked to them in private, asking them not to spread the news, and even the family members couldn't talk about it. Both of them patted their chests and assured that Chang Xile was relieved.

It's not that Chang Xile is worried that the people in the village have opinions about the Qian family, but that everyone will panic in their hearts, afraid that their family's business will not be able to continue.

Since the family harvests dogwood and camellia fruit, so that the people in the village and even the people in the surrounding villages have expectations, many people who are active in their minds also plan to transplant camellia fruit and dogwood to the open space in the spring of next year, and it will be more convenient to actually pick them. If you learn about the Qian family's troubles at this time, this enthusiasm will definitely be easily dispelled.

"What can I do, if the Qian family stops us, will our business not be able to continue." Sister-in-law Wang said worriedly.

Chang Xile didn't answer this question directly, but asked, "We've been eating dogwood for a while, and now if we don't have this thing, what would you think?" ”

Chang Xiwang couldn't hold anything in his heart, and he didn't think about why Chang Xile would ask this, and said directly: "That's tasteless!" It's very uncomfortable to get used to eating and not eating. With this stuff seasoning, even the most unpalatable things become delicious. ”

Chang Xile smiled, spicy is indeed a very magical taste, not to mention what you can't eat, once you get used to this taste, you always feel wrong without it in the meal. So there was a saying in the previous life that if you let Hunan and Sichuan people accompany you after they get married, it will definitely be true love for you.

Although this is a joke and an exaggeration, it can also be seen that spicy taste is difficult to quit for people who are used to eating it.

Although the spicy taste of dogwood is not as good as that of chili, he also has such a charm.

"Isn't this over, as long as everyone starts to get used to this taste, they will be eager for it, and there will be a market, and the Qian family is not so powerful that we ordinary people have to get his consent if they want to eat something. It's just that it will take a little time, and we should trust the second brother. The second brother is reluctant to tell us these things, according to his temperament, it is not so much that he is afraid that we will worry, but that he thinks he can solve it, so he feels that there is no need to sue us. ”

Everyone felt justified when they heard this.

Chang Xile said again: "Besides, I didn't say it just now, the restaurants all want our things, but those grocery stores have broken the contract." It shows that things are not bad enough to that extent, the purchase channels of the grocery store are all related to the Qian family, and they must rely on the Qian family to eat, so they dare not disobey the Qian family. And the restaurant is different, didn't the second brother say it before, and the Qian family is still the right family, seeing the Qian family doing this, I feel that it is jealous, I am afraid that I will buy it more happily. ”

Father Chang also spoke at this time, "It's useless for us to guess now, wait for the second child to come back." ”

Everyone sighed, they were useless here, they couldn't help anything from such a distance. Even if it's close, you can't really find a rich family to fight.

Chang Xile secretly clenched his fists, the matter of scientific research is imperative, otherwise it will be suppressed like this, and it will be difficult to go far in the future.

Five days later, Chang Xisheng returned, his expression still the same as before, and he did not add to his sorrow.

After asking carefully, sure enough, as Chang Xile expected, although the business was affected to a certain extent, there were still more people who were very interested in this seasoning and placed orders one after another. And this thing was launched in the restaurant, and it was really favored by many people, so that the restaurants that were originally just trying it were willing to cooperate for a long time.

"I know that the boy will tell you about it, and it's not a big deal to tell him." Chang Xisheng is not surprised, everyone knows that someone has returned the goods.

"You don't have to worry too much, although the Qian family is a little horizontal in our county, it's not everything he says. Although our food is not new, no one makes it as delicious as ours, and as long as you taste it, eight or nine times out of ten will become repeat customers. When the fame is out, there is no worry that no one will buy it. This thing can be eaten with dry food when it is rolled in oil, and it is convenient to eat, who wouldn't want to buy it?

And our tea oil tastes very good, not to mention, the important thing is that it is cheap. To put it mildly, everyone knows that buying and selling illicit salt is to lose their heads, but why is it repeatedly banned, isn't it just that everyone is greedy for cheap, and this Qian family can still be more powerful than the government? So don't worry about this sales, it may be hard at first, but after a long time, the fame will go out, so there is no need to worry. ”

Although Chang Xisheng was not going well outside, he was still full of confidence. These days, he has sold a lot of work in the streets and alleys, which is not easy, but he is still confident that he can do it.

Everyone saw that he was very confident to face these difficulties, and they didn't feel that it was too big a thing in their hearts, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Xile admires Chang Xisheng from the bottom of his heart, sales is never an easy task, and there is also the Qian family, but Chang Xisheng has not been discouraged at all in the first contact, and even more and more frustrated.

Although his theoretical knowledge is good, he really can't do it if he really looks like Chang Xisheng, pulling down his face and walking around the streets and alleys to sell. Sales are not something that everyone can do, you must have an iron heart and cheek, and it is difficult to support it even if you have a little skin. It's too easy to be discouraged in this line of work, to feel humiliated by the rejection of others, and everyone who can do a good job has to be full of energy.

It is also his blessing that the Chang family can produce such a character. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him to fulfill the original body's wish alone. One hero and three gangs, it is difficult to support alone.

"How did you find a house in the county?" Cao's second sister-in-law said with concern.

"Don't worry, you've found it. The location is a bit remote, but the house can hold a lot of things, and the price is not expensive. When you have time to recognize the door, this time I plan to bring more over, next time I will come back less diligently, this back and forth is too tossed, too delayed. The Chinese New Year is coming up in two months, and I have to sell more before the year. ”

According to the previous agreement with Chang Lao's father, if he can sell the amount he set before the end of spring ploughing, he can go to the house to have a look after spring ploughing. This is a lot, and the Spring Festival will be delayed for at least half a month, so Chang Xisheng is in a hurry to sell things. He can't lose at the beginning, and Daddy Chang will definitely not let him do business again.

Chang Xisheng's efforts were not in vain, and he gradually opened up sales channels in the county, and he would come back to deliver goods every once in a while. Not only dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil, many people eat tea oil and think that this thing tastes good and cheap, and they are very happy to buy it.

Although the Qian family is still suppressing, they have no way to control the entire Daoxiang County, and Chang Xisheng is surviving in this crack. But in just a few days, he has been completely different from before, and he is growing up like crazy.

Such a result is often joyful to hear.

When a person's potential is stimulated, it will burst out with unimaginable strength. The Qian family is not a touchstone, and Chang Xisheng, who has been tempered, can go as far as he expects.

This also makes the people in the oil mill work more energetically, although it is winter, but the gentlemen in the oil mill are sweating there shirtless.

Chang Xiwang also found a job that suits him, although the process of oil extraction is very monotonous, but the sense of accomplishment is also full. He has a lot of strength, and he doesn't need to use his brain, which is the best for him.

Chang Xiwang farming is a little better than Chang Xisheng, he is good at brute force, and he can't do delicate things well. He is also the slowest learner of words and arithmetic at home, and is often laughed at by children. But in the oil mill, he gave full play to his strengths.

The oil yield of the oil mill is higher than Chang Xile imagined, which is the biggest proof.

Chang Xi was happy to see that the two brothers and Cao's second sister-in-law were well qualified for the new roles, and they all entered the regular form, so he didn't need to worry about it, so he withdrew his body and stopped meddling. He can't participate in everything, he has to exhaust himself to death, and maybe the result is not good.

With free time, Chang Xi has the time to turn his eyes back to the farmland, Chang Lao's words are very reasonable, farmland is the foundation.

This is true not only for farmers, but also for the whole society, which is based on agriculture. Here, the aristocracy and high-ranking officials are all big landowners, and they try their best to devour the land of the people, so you can see how important farmland is.

As the mill continued to work day and night, and the tea produced was more and more dry, Chang Xile began to work on the matter of manure.

Fertilizer is very important for farmland, and if it is not applied in time, the land will become more and more barren and eventually become unable to grow food.

The fertilizer used for crops grown in Taoyuan Village is generally to set a fire to burn the rice stalks in the field to ashes after harvesting in autumn, plus good human and animal manure. This is also the saying that if you want to go to the toilet outside, you will hold back the risk of pulling it on your pants, and you have to run your own thatched house, which is because of the lack of fertilizer, so it is extremely cherished.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village do not breed livestock on a large scale, and many families do not have the financial resources to raise relatively medium and large livestock such as cattle and sheep. As a result, the fertilizer is somewhat insufficient, which makes the soil insufficient.

Chang Xile learned because of the oil mill that although rapeseed oil has been extracted here, it is not popular and has not become the main oil crop. Rape, on the other hand, has never been grown in the field, and is generally planted in vegetable gardens.

Therefore, when Chang Xile proposed that after the rice is harvested, rapeseed should be planted in the field to improve the multiple cropping index and land utilization rate of the rice field, which shocked the Chang family.

"This field has to rest, and if we keep planting things on it, the soil will not be fertile enough, and it will affect the planting of rice in the coming year."

Chang Xixing couldn't help but say, although he rarely questioned Chang Xile's opinion, but about the farmland, he couldn't be silent. Just like Chang Xisheng, Chang Xixing likes to serve the ground from the bottom of his heart, and he is a natural farmer.

Although everyone now trusts Chang Xile very much, it is inevitable that such a mention will be unbelievable for people who have cultivated the same method for generations, and feel that Chang Xile is mistaken.

"Kid, are you mistaken? It should be planted for one year of rice and another year of rape, right? This will also allow the land to rest and not be barren for a year. ”

When I was a child, my grandmother heard my grandparents say that in the past, farming was still in rotation, and I took a year off to plant for a year, otherwise the land would be injured. At that time, there was a lot of land and a small population, and the system of equal land was still implemented.

That is, men over fifteen years of age shall be given forty acres of open fields for planting corn, and twenty acres for women. Slaves and ploughing oxen are also given the field, and the field is given to be doubled or doubled depending on the rotation. But later, as the population grew, the land gradually became insufficient, and this rule changed.

At the beginning of Taoyuan Village, farming was also on rotational leave, but with the rapid increase in population, the land was not enough, and there was no longer such a thing as rotational rest. This has also led to the fact that the fertility of the land in the village is becoming less and less, and the rice yield is significantly lower than before.

Therefore, the first reaction of the grandmother was that Chang Xile was confused, and inherited the rotation to take turns to farm.

Chang Xile affirmed: "Mother, I am not mistaken. Rapeseed has a low utilization rate of fertilizer in the soil and will not hurt the soil fertility. Not only that, but the flowers and leaves will be left in the field during its growth, and the fertilizer efficiency is high, providing an excellent precursor for later planting rice. The oil extraction rate of Camellia oleifera seeds is very high, only second only to sulforaphane seeds, and it is easier to grow and harvest than sesame seeds, so that our oil mill has another oil source. ”

"Can this be done? I'm older, and I haven't heard anyone do that, did you see it in a book? That book can't be wrong, right? ”

Grandma Sun didn't doubt Chang Xile, but because it subverted her cognition too much, she also felt that the writing was wrong.

Chang Xiwang said: "Mother, what's wrong in the book, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

The world has a great respect for books, and unlike the later generations, the book market is more developed and disordered, and those who can write books are not ordinary people. There are very few miscellaneous books in a mess, and the printing and papermaking technology in the world is not high, which makes the cost of books very high, and it is very unrealistic to make money by selling miscellaneous books.

Father Chang also frowned, "I've heard before that you can farm in other countries, but it's just like that, no one can guarantee that there is such a thing." This kind of land is a big deal, and if it goes wrong, there will be no harvest in the year. It will even be a disaster in the future, and it can't be nonsense. ”

Chang Xile understands the reason why everyone is so cautious, after all, it is the subversion of cognition all along, not to mention that in this world where information is received less, even if it is in the future generations, you can't listen to what others say, and you don't have your own ability to discriminate. Empiricism is not necessary, but it cannot be completely distrustful.

Chang Xile didn't dare to force him to carry out what he said on a large scale as soon as he came, and he still had to be cautious in everything, not in a hurry, but still have to take it step by step.

"That's what I thought, let's take a piece of land and try it out and see if it works. If it is done, we can all do this in the future, and we can also make more progress, and if we don't achieve such a small piece of land, it won't hinder anything. ”

Chang Xixing nodded when he heard this: "I think this idea is, since Xiao Wu read it from a book, it must be right according to common sense, but this matter is a big deal, let's try it first." If it does, that's a great thing. ”

Father Chang also nodded in agreement at this time, "Okay, that's it." Give Xiao Wu an acre of land to try, boss, you will do what Xiao Wu said when the time comes. It's okay for him to use his mouth, but he can't do it. ”

Cao's second sister-in-law said with a smile: "You must not let Xiao Wu go to farm in person, he is a talent, and others don't know what they will say about our family when they see it." ”

Chang Xile was not polite, although he had theoretical knowledge, his hands-on ability was zero, and his right hand was not good yet, so he still didn't want to do it.

The rape planting here is still the traditional nesting and on-demand sowing, which wastes seeds and the seedlings are not easy to grow, there are many pests and diseases, and the seedlings also cost labor. The new technique of raising seedlings first and planting them in the field is completely different from this one.

After the seedlings are successfully raised, when transplanting in the field, Chang Xile also has different requirements.

First of all, it is necessary to dig the ridge of the box, so that it is easy to drain, so that there is no stagnant water in the field, and the bottom fertilizer is applied.

The base fertilizer is also used with tea withering.

Tea withered mixed in fertilizer, not only can fertilize the land, but also kill small weevils, grubs, mole crickets and other underground pests.

Although Chang Xixing was puzzled because he had never been exposed to such a planting method, he did not say anything and followed Chang Xile's instructions completely.

Chang Xile took the initiative to tell him the reason for doing this, as for whether this is the result, it can be seen with the growth of rape.

Although Chang Xile did not go to the field, he did not move his lips up and down to finish the work, but took a small notebook made by himself to the field every day to record, providing relevant numbers for large-scale planting in the future.

There are no secrets in Taoyuan Village, and although this is just a real yàn of Chang Xile, it quickly spread throughout the village. Everyone is very curious, how can there be such a planting method, without fear of soil damage?

Many people talked about it, although they all felt unreliable, but no one thought that Chang Xile was crazy, and then came to stop it. Because of blind trust, although I can't figure it out, I feel that this scholar has a lot of ideas, where do they dare to do this.

And some people, such as Li Zheng, heard Chang Xile doing this, and went to inquire curiously. Hearing Chang Xile's explanation, he was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and also took out a few acres of land to test, which was even more generous than the Chang family's three rooms.

This made Daddy Chang startled, so that Li Zheng should not be impulsive, and it would not be too late to make a decision when their family was completed.

But Li Zheng said that he thought it made sense, and they didn't have grown rape, so it didn't hurt the ground much, so why not try it once. Rape is hardy and can survive the winter, so if you take turns to cultivate, you can get more money if the field is not empty.

Li Zhengdu did this, and many people followed, but more people still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Chang Xile served this side well, and the other side began to prepare manure again.

He composted according to the Indore process, which seems very foreign, but it is actually a method of producing humus from crop orange stalks and animal manure.

Taoyuan Village originally used a similar method of composting, but the plant waste was used relatively little, and most of it relied on plant ash and animal manure. He will now increase the amount of manure such as weeds, fallen leaves, sawdust, camellia oil, fruit husks, tea withered and so on.

The vicinity of Taoyuan Village is full of mountains and forests, and there are a lot of rotting leaves and weeds, which are very good fertilizers. You don't have to look for weeds anywhere else, just go and clean up the weeds under the tea trees and dogwood trees. In this way, it can compost and take care of the tea tree, which not only helps the growth of the tea tree and dogwood tree, but also prevents the poisonous snake hiding in it when picking the fruit. When picking tea and oil fruits before, some people were anxious and didn't try to start with the grass first, but they were almost bitten.

Chang Xile uses the form of pit compost, and he finds a large pit that is naturally formed, so that he does not have to dig much.

Although it usually doesn't rain heavily in winter, Chang Xile built a thatched roof for him just in case, and after a year or two, such a roof can be used for composting. Otherwise, in case of heavy rain, the material will be soaked and unable to provide sufficient oxygen, and the fermentation effect will not be achieved.

When composting, plant-based fertilizer is first spread on the bottom of the pit, then with manure and sprinkled with a thin layer of urine and plant ash. Pour some water and repeat the pile.

These were all completed by Chang Xixing and Chang Xifeng, who had four rooms in the Chang family, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw that Chang Xile was so particular about composting. It's not like they haven't composted, but it's not like it is now.

"Can it be done?" Chang Xifeng asked.

Chang Xile took a few steps back, the smell here was really not very good, but Chang Xile couldn't cover his nose either. After all, Chang Xixing and Chang Xifeng were sweating like rain, and he didn't just look at it without moving his hands, and he looked disgusted, which was really dazzling. But if you want to speak, you can't stand it, and you have to avoid it.

He was also stupid, he forgot to get a mask, and Bai was smoked here for a long time.

"After ten days, we have to turn over the pile for the first time, that is, turn these materials from one end of the stack to the other end to ensure sufficient space...... to ensure that they can be corroded. For about a month or so, we have to do a second turnover, in the opposite direction to the first time, and at that time these things will be darkened, which means that we are doing the right job. ”

The specific principle Chang Xile really didn't know how to explain to the two of them, and nitrogen was decomposed by what fungus, and the more he talked about it, the more confusing it became. So we can only be so vague that they know how to do it, but they can't tell them how it works.

And these two people didn't ask, they must have a reason for Chang Xile to do this in their hearts, just do what Chang Xile said.

"It seems that this job needs to find a few more people to complete, otherwise I am afraid it will not be completed." Chang Xixing said.

He originally thought that it was just compost, and how big it could be, two people would be enough. I didn't expect there to be so much attention to it, and at this rate, the two of them would be too slow.

Chang Xifeng said: "Let's learn now, and when the time comes, we can teach them, we can't always let Xile smell these smells here." ”

Chang Xixing thought it was true, this kind of pickling work was really not good, and Chang Xile had been around.

Chang Xile was very grateful to the two of them for their thoughtfulness, although he didn't feel that this would insult his talent status, but he really didn't want to stay in this kind of place longer, so he didn't have to go into battle.

Although the matter of rotating rape planting still needs to be a little bit real, everyone feels that there is no need to be so cautious about composting. Anyway, it's all those things, and it's not much worse, so they all do what Chang Xile says.

"Little Wu, will this fat be better than what we soaked before?" Chang Xifeng asked.

"At least the utility can be several percent higher, and we have to see what the situation is when it is, and that's what I know now." How useful it is, I haven't actually seen it with my own eyes. ”

Chang Xixing couldn't help but sigh: "If the things made by this method are really good, we can also have more fertilizer, otherwise we will be too little to grow anything." ”

"Isn't it, in the past, my family's field could produce two stones of grain per acre, but now it is more than one stone, the difference is too much, and it has been hard work for a year in vain."

"Our two families are okay, there are many people in the family, and the second uncle's family will not be. But this year, we shouldn't have to worry, let's find more people in the next few days to pile up the fertilizer, and it should be almost enough by then. ”

"Well, I hope so. There is still a little less dung, and our family is still fine, and many people in the village are worried. ”

The two of them said a word to me, and they were talking happily in this stinky place, and they had no intention of leaving, which made Chang Xile cry and laugh.

Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled away by Chang Yu.

Chang Yu's face was wrinkled like a bun, he couldn't stand the smell for a long time, so he didn't want to go down at all, and now that he was done and didn't leave, Chang Yu was impatient.

"Stinky smelly! Let's go! ”

It is rare for Chang Yu to speak in such a blunt tone to Chang Xile, which shows how much he dislikes here.

Chang Xile couldn't help laughing, this little guy loves cleanliness very much, he used to be a little tiger before, and since he was picked up by him, he has a habit of taking a bath and washing his hair every day. And because of the clothes, I am usually the most careful not to get contaminated with those dirty things. Today, I'm still standing next to the dirty thing, where can I bear it.

"Our little meow is awesome, and we know two more words, let's go."

Turning his head and about to greet Chang Xixing and Chang Xifeng, the two of them were still worried about the dung, when Chang Xile suddenly flashed something in his mind.

"Oops! How did I forget this! That's a bunch of natural farm manure! ”

Chang Xile opened his mouth to speak without paying attention, but a pungent smell rushed over directly, almost not smoking him down.

Chang Xile coughed violently a few times, Chang Yu helped him smooth his back, and it took a while to ease up.

Sure enough, impulsiveness is the devil.

"Joy, what did you mean by that?" Chang Xifeng said anxiously, as a farmer, he is very concerned about this kind of thing.

Chang Xile asked, "Where do you say there are the most people in our county now?" ”

Chang Xixing and Chang Xifeng didn't react for a while, why did they suddenly say this.

But after a while, Chang Xifeng suddenly slapped his thigh, "Of course it's digging the river!" Oops, how did we forget, there are so many people there, so much more! ”

Chang Xixing also reacted at this time, "Hey, it's true, why didn't we think of it before." If we collect all the things there, plus these things in the mountains, not to mention enough land in our village, we can solve a big problem. ”

"Look at our heads, why did we forget this stubble. When I was working there before, I hated it and made it dirty, and some people even went to the woods, and we said it was a waste, so we didn't think about pulling it back. Joy, your brain is so good that you can think of it. ”

Chang Xi laughed, he really squeezed the value of the construction site clean, and even didn't let go of the garbage. Work has been on there for a few months, and now to ask for fertilizer is definitely very objective.

When I went back, Chang Xile talked about it to Lizheng, and directly applauded, and went there to collect those pickled things, so that there would be no need to worry about the lack of fertilizer in the field. There are tens of thousands of people there now, and there must be a lot of fertilizer!

He immediately gathered his men and ox-carts and donkey carts, and the next day he went there to grab dung. This is not an exaggeration at all, this disgusted pickled thing in the farmhouse is a sought-after commodity, which can be described as a treasure of dung and gold.

Not only that, but the thatched toilets there are very simple and dirty, so that many people are reluctant to go into the forest and find a place to solve it. In this way, more fertilizer can be collected, after all, most people are still not happy to go bare-butted in the wild, who knows if a snake will crawl out of the grass. Even if you don't, just a little bug is enough.

Although this work is very dirty, it is not disgusting for farmers who lack fertilizer.

And the people on the other side of the construction site were very happy, and they didn't know what to do with these pickles, and now someone happened to solve their problem.

In this way, both sides get benefits.

And the people in Taoyuan Village saw that Chang Xile was composting like this, and they felt that what the book said was correct, so they all asked Chang Xixing and Chang Xifeng to guide them together. The two of them are not stingy, as long as someone is looking for them, they will personally guide them, which makes the two of them smelly and fragrant for a while.

The smell is because they come into contact with those pickled things all day long, and the fragrance is because they are working for people, and the other party must keep them to eat, take out the best things in the house, and let them eat until they can't walk before they are released.

Everyone did not expect that a river digging project would bring so many benefits to Taoyuan Village, but it took half a year to make Taoyuan Village undergo earth-shaking changes. Many people are thinking in their hearts that it would be better if this river was dug all the time, and they would definitely get better and better day by day.

Chang Xile just smiled when he heard it, if these people knew the benefits of the river after it was opened, they would definitely want to finish it now.

After finishing the manure business, the school that Chang Xile had planned to run before finally started.
