Chapter 280: Planting Sweet Potatoes (2)

Yang Lixin spoke, and the people who walked in front found him, and everyone gathered around and asked about his physical condition.

Yang Lixin also grinned and answered everyone's questions happily, and with the complete recovery of his body, all the energy and spirit hidden in his bones also returned.

Everyone walked along the bluestone pavement and chatted about their daily routines, and soon arrived at the wasteland.

At this time, there were half-human-high barren grasses and shrubs growing on the fifteen acres of wasteland, and although the edge area had pulled out a lot of courtyard walls, the barren grass in the center was still very lush.

Everyone didn't wait for instructions, they each found a place and started to work.

Li Ziyu watched from the side for a while, picked some wild vegetables in the edge area and went back first.

The day passed, and when it was dark, the grass and gravel in the field were cleaned.

The next day, Li Ziyu brought the two cows in the family, and the old village chief and Wang Chunqiu each brought a plough stick and began to plough the land.

According to Li Ziyu's instructions, the others used iron pickaxes to break up large pieces of soil, and then used iron pickaxes, shovels and other tools to level the ground.

After turning over the land, two ox carts began to transport household fertilizer to the wasteland, which was actually a mixture of plant ash, sand, water, and human feces and urine.

After leveling the ground, the land is plowed again, and the manure is evenly scattered in the deep land, and the land is leveled again.

It took a whole day to finish these tasks, but everyone didn't know what was going on with tossing the land like this.

The veterans of these farmyards had doubts in their hearts. I wondered. However, since the owner let it be done like this, they had to listen. Maybe some kind of seedlings will have to be done like this.

Day 3. Under the guidance of Li Ziyu, he began to make sweet potato ridges.

Before making sweet potato ridges, Li Ziyu asked them to turn the ground deep again, and yesterday's manure has been integrated into the land by turning it again in this way.

After ploughing the land, Li Ziyu guided everyone to make sweet potato ridges.

The sweet potato ridge is 30 cm wide at the top and 45 cm wide at the bottom. The height is 25 cm, and Li Ziyu doesn't have a box ruler, so he can only roughly estimate it. But. Li Ziyu made five acres of land on the sweet potato ridge, and those sweet potato seedlings were planted on five acres of land. But even so, everyone still finished the sweet potato ridge when it was almost dark.

On the fourth day, Li Ziyu let everyone enter the old house. She personally demonstrated how to pick sweet potato seedlings.

At this time, the sweet potato seedlings are exposed to sunlight. With photosynthesis, the green is exceptionally strong and energetic when you look at it.

Li Ziyu picked up a bundle of thick seedlings, tied them with straw ropes, and put them in a wooden bucket containing water. Leave a little water at the bottom of the bucket, and the sweet potato seedlings will not wilt when placed inside.

Everyone present has been dealing with the land all year round, and the crop work is the door spirit. After Li Ziyu's demonstration, they learned it and immediately replaced Li Ziyu. Start picking.

When the harvest was full, two buckets and two wooden basins, the big guys rushed to the field with the buckets and wooden basins.

Then use a small iron pickaxe to dig a soil pit on the sweet potato ridge at an interval of about 15 cm. Water the pit, press the two sweet potato seedlings in the pit, and when the water seeps down, bury the pit as soon as possible, revealing more than half of the sweet potato seedlings.

Li Ziyu demonstrated it again in person, and the big guy began to plant sweet potato seedlings according to the cat and the tiger.

However, they have never seen such a farming method when they are so old, and it is too troublesome to catch up with the women embroidering.

Have the heart to ask what is planted, what is so good about sweet potatoes, and why is it so troublesome? But I feel that maybe this is a new seed, and maybe there is something that needs to be kept secret. Therefore, everyone's hearts are like being scratched by a cat, itchy and uncomfortable, but they are embarrassed to ask.

Zhao Qing, the old village chief, saw that everyone was uncomfortable, pulled out a dry tobacco bag from his waist, filled the tobacco bag with tobacco, lit the fire with flint, and took a beautiful sip before finally asking: "Yu'er, what did I say about you?" Why is it so troublesome? Aren't you just farming? Where did you learn this? ”

Li Ziyu was not idle at this time, and was planting sweet potato seedlings on the side. After all the seedlings in the handle were pressed into the pit, he straightened up and said, "The one we planted today is called a sweet potato, which was brought from the outer domain." This planting method was also told to me when I bought the seeds, and I don't know if it's right or not. I heard that the yield of this sweet potato is ridiculously high, and it can yield more than 3,000 catties per mu."

Before Li Ziyu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the people who were working.

"What? More than 3,000 pounds? Really? Gazi's mouth grew in surprise, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He Dashan looked at her worriedly and said, "Can't you?" Xiaoyu, have you been deceived? How can you produce so much? ”

Shao Ligen walked over with the sweet potato seedlings in his hand, his face was full of passion and excitement, and he stared at Li Ziyu with good eyes and said, "Xiaoyu, I believe in you!" This sweet potato is sure to be highly productive. However, after the harvest of sweet potatoes in the autumn, can you give me some seeds? You know that my family has only two acres of land, and if I can grow sweet potatoes, my family will not go hungry in the future, and I will be able to eat a full stomach. ”

The rest of the people, including Yang Lixin, were not as excited as Shao Ligen, they all looked at her with suspicion and pity on their faces, and it was obvious that she had been fooled.

Zhao Qing sat on the barren grass pile and was addicted to smoking, and glanced at the sweet potato seedlings that had been planted in front of him. The sweet potato seedlings stood straight on the sweet potato ridges, and they didn't wilt because they were out of the sweet potato seedbed, and they had confidence in Li Ziyu for some reason.

I don't know when this girl started to have a brain suddenly opened, and she has a clear eye for everything.

There are also the two young men who live in her house, as well as the assassination of delivering gambling money at night, and the castle-like residence that was suddenly built, all of which illustrate a fact that people have to face, Li Ziyu, a girl, has convincing skills.

So if the current sweet potato seedlings can really be planted successfully, if they can really yield 3,000 catties per mu, no, even 1,000 catties, it is a great thing.

The current Daye Dynasty is a good field, and the yield of wheat and sorghum per mu can reach more than 200 catties.

If Xiaoyu's sweet potatoes are successfully planted, if such a yield is known to the above, it will be followed by visits from officials at all levels.

Did you hide it first? When everyone in the village has planted it, it is not too late to enjoy the benefits brought by a handful of high yields, and then report it?

Li Ziyu didn't care what others thought, and took everyone to plant the sweet potato seedlings completely on the fourth day.

When everyone was packing up and preparing to go home, Li Ziyu said: "Grandpa, uncles and brothers, the big guys will continue to come over tomorrow, and the rest of the plots will continue to grow other tomorrow." ”

Everyone didn't take it to heart, because five acres of land were planted on fifteen acres, and the other ten acres were still idle. So they agreed, and they all left.
