Chapter 205: Planting Hemp
Early the next morning, the small courtyard of the Han family was lively.
Because the bean seeds need to be soaked for a few days and wait for germination before they can be planted, Master Huang decided to plant the hemp seedlings first and then plant the beans after discussing with Daddy Han.
When she heard that the bean seeds were going to be soaked for a few days, Han Chuxue had a feeling that she had no face to see Jiangdong's father, if she had brought the bean seeds back directly when she went to the town that day, she would not have to wait to plant them now.
It's really terrible to have no knowledge, a certain baby silently clenched her fists, she decided, she must learn this agricultural knowledge in the future, and she can't make such a low-level mistake again.
The seedlings were placed on the wooden cart, pushed by one of the helpers, and the others carried hoes and shovels, and headed towards the small barren mountain lively.
This time, the cold and early snow didn't let the eldest girl go with her, the mother has been busy for so many days, and her face has been much better, but if she really asks her not to lie on the bed to rest, she will definitely not be willing, so she can only let the eldest girl stay, one is to help, and the other is to be able to watch her and Han Daddy, so as not to let these two idle people toss themselves out of trouble.
As for Han Chuxue herself, since she has decided to study this kind of land and strive to be a qualified peasant girl, this kind of good opportunity to learn must not be missed, so after explaining to the second sister to "take care" of her father, she and Erzhu chased after a group of adults and followed the mountain.
The original small barren mountain overgrown with weeds and shrubs has now been reclaimed into a whole gentle farmland, because it is planted with hemp, so it is an orderly arrangement of a mound and a passage, and because this slope is relatively gentle, it is not like a terraced field to form a step by step, but from top to bottom ridge by ridge, from the foot of the mountain to look up, you can directly see the top of the mountain at a glance, if you wait for the hemp seedlings to grow up, a large piece of green and verdant, even if the landscape has not been seen, the cold and early snow can also be imagined. It must be beautiful and emotional.
Not to mention the future, even now Erzhu's mood is also very excited, this is all his own land.
"Brother Shijie. How to plant this hemp seedling? ”
After eating and sleeping together for so many days, Huang Shijie has become familiar with the people of the Han family, especially Da Zhu, who is a few years old with him, and Erzhu, who has a lively temperament.
Seeing Erzhu's eager face, he immediately smiled and said, "This hemp seedling can't be planted too densely." It's not too thin, you can't plant too deep, you can't plant too shallow, you see us plant a few trees first, learn to learn, and then learn to plant it yourself. ”
Although Erzhu excitedly wanted to help plant the hemp quickly, he also knew that these hemp seedlings were not cheap, and they were not easy to buy. There is no objection to Huang Shijie's construction.
And Han Chuxue, a farming idiot, had no opinion, so the two brothers and sisters followed behind Huang Shijie very obediently, watching him dig a small pit with another helper every about seventy or eighty centimeters and less than one meter.
Although she had never planted a field, she would participate in tree planting every time she was a student on Arbor Day in modern times, and when she thought about it, the tree pit she dug at that time was much deeper than this one.
"Brother Shijie, such a shallow pit is waiting for the hemp seedlings to grow taller. Won't it be easy to fall? ”
Huang Shijie, who had already planted a hemp seedling in the pit and was supported by the helper, and he bulldozed and filled the pit by himself, said with a smile, "No." This seedling is too deep, it needs more watering to get drenched, and if there is more water in the soil, the roots of this hemp will be easy to spoil, even if it is not dry, the hemp pocket will not be good, and it will not be able to produce good hemp. ”
It's too professional, Han Chuxue scratched his head and said, I don't understand.
But Erzhu, who often works in the field, roughly understands. This hemp is resistant to drought and waterlogging.
"Brother Huang, don't we need to water this seedling too much in the future?"
Huang Shijie nodded, "It can't be too much, don't look at the roots of this hemp now, when they really survive, this root can grow for a long time, as long as there is water under this mountain, its roots can absorb water, and when this hemp grows up, it can be taller than me, and the leaves are big, you don't look at it now, it seems to be quite far away, and when they grow up, it can be dense, even the sun can't bask this land, so just keep this land moist, and you must not let it accumulate water." ”
The two brothers and sisters nodded again and again with a teachable look, and they had been following Huang Shijie all day to learn how to grow hemp, and they didn't dare to try it themselves, for fear that there was too much knowledge in it, and it would spoil the rare hemp seedlings.
It's a big pillar, because he worked with Huang Shijie for the past few days, and he knows more about this kind of hemp skills than Liangxiao, so he followed Master Huang for a while this day, and after being taught twice, he was able to grow hemp by himself accompanied by a helper.
Seeing that the eldest brother could take charge on his own, Han Chuxue and Erzhu of course had itchy hands, so the next day they asked Master Huang for a mound, hugged more than ten hemp seedlings, and planted them with their own hands.
At first, Master Huang was afraid that the two of them were young, and they didn't learn to spoil the seedlings and always came to check, after a few times, he found that the two little guys were really presentable, and he was happy that the two of them had a good understanding, but he didn't stare at the two anymore, but from time to time he would come over to take a look and correct some small mistakes and give some advice or something.
In this way, after living for two lifetimes, Han Chuxue learned to farm for the first time after returning to Han's house for more than ten days.
After three days of fighting, 50 acres of hemp seedlings were finally planted, because at that time Fan Li was measuring the land when he practiced a word code, so that the 50 acres of mountainous land is a lot more than the ordinary 50 acres, the estimation is biased, after the seedlings are all planted, there are still a few more ridges of land.
After running home to discuss with Daddy Han and his mother, the two brothers and sisters of Han Chuxue ran back with a bag of sprouted sweet potatoes.
This is Xiuniang saw that the little girl seemed to really like to eat sweet potatoes, there was not much food at home before, so she let the little girl eat a steamed sweet potato, which made her feel very uncomfortable for a while, so after the Zeng family sent a lot of things, she exchanged a bag of sweet potatoes with someone else's house, and secretly sprouted, thinking that when the land at home was ready, she would find some corner vacant land or something to plant some sweet potatoes for the little girl to eat, but she didn't expect to be able to use it so soon.
Although Master Huang and the others sold themselves to the Luo family, they were from the Zhuang family, even if this land was not their own, they couldn't see it wasted, so they moved without saying a word when they saw this bag of sweet potato seedlings.
Planting sweet potatoes is much easier than planting hemp, so it didn't take much time to plant the rest of the fields.
The group happily returned to Han's house, and Lin Bo was used to running to see the bean seeds, and the good guys actually sprouted.
So there was no need to think about the next day's work, and everyone went to plant beans together. (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
