"In the future, after the county's grain output is high, I will directly manufacture compound full-price feed and sell it to farmers, and I don't want farmers to mix it themselves." Wu Nanhai has great ambitions, "This can further increase the yield, reduce the difficulty of jishu, and make it easier to promote." ”

Saying that, Wu Nanhai rode 28 big bars and took Wan Lihui to a corner of the farm, where a whole piece of land had been leveled. Rows of small trees are planted on all sides, and drainage ditches have been dug.

The most conspicuous thing is that there are many large baskets piled up not far from the flat ground, although they are covered with many straw curtains, they still emit a pungent stench. Rotting liquid oozed from the ground, and flies fluttered happily on it.

Wan Lihui saw his brother Wan Lihuang wearing a straw hat, sitting bored in a straw shed, chasing flies from time to time.

Wan Lihui covered his nose, "It's so stinky?" ”

Wu Nanhai didn't seem to care, and put the car on the tree:

"Xiao Wan, this earthworm farm will be in charge of your brother in the future."

"Okay." Wan Lihui thought. Well, this smelly, dirty work has fallen on us again - is it because we are peasants? He thought sadly and indignantly that his dream of coming to this time and space was to play with guns freely, but now that he didn't play with guns, he completely returned to his hometown to work.

Even if I think so, I can't talk about it and resolutely complete the tasks given by the organization.

The work of cultivating earthworms in captivity is a new jishu in agriculture. The main purpose is to treat all kinds of organic waste at a lower cost, turn waste into fertilizer, and eliminate the pollution of organic waste to the environment. It can also improve the soil fertility to a certain extent.

The earthworm that Wu Nanhai is preparing to breed is the red earthworm, which is a kind of earthworm species commonly used in the earthworm breeding industry, which belongs to the manure earthworm, likes to swallow all kinds of livestock manure, has strong dumping and is suitable for artificial breeding.

"Look, this is the red earthworm that is ready to be raised." Wu Nanhai opened the wooden box, and there were several purple-red earthworms of 90~150 mm that were wriggling.

"This thing is easy to raise, provided that the feed is well prepared." Wu Nanhai brought them to the basket that smelled like a foul smell......

"Earthworm feed," he says, "comes from a wide range of sources, and basically organic waste can be used as a source, provided that it is non-toxic and disease-free." For example, livestock and poultry manure, plants, fruit peels, bagasse, rotten fruits, etc. Red earthworms love rotten fruit and leaves – they like sweet and sour tastes. ”

"Rotten fruits are rare in the local area-" Wan Lihui thought that since Wu Nanhai made a full area of fertilizer, it seemed that no organic matter could escape his clutches, and he didn't know how he planned to distribute organic waste to earthworms. I don't know what it was in that big pit, it stinks to death.

"It's okay to have rotten leaves. And wild fruits," Wu Nanhai seemed to have thought about a long time ago, "Leizhou will bring us a few boatloads of pineapples - there are a lot of these things there, and bagasse." So saying, he drew down the curtain that was covering the basket.

In the basket were rotting pineapples, and a lot of bagasse, and a sweet, sour, and smelly smell that made him cover his nose.

"These have to be composted quickly, too." Wu Nanhai frowned.

Organic matter used as feed must be fully fermented before it can be used, and earthworms are omnivorous annelids. These organic wastes must be compiled and fermented before they can be swallowed and utilized, otherwise earthworms will die in large numbers. So in fact, one of the main tasks of Wanjia Brothers is to engage in compost fermentation.

Wu Nanhai personally took a shovel and shoveled out all kinds of organic garbage in it for a composting demonstration.

Before fermentation, the poultry manure is sprinkled with water and mashed. The straw and straw of crops are first cut into short strips with a hoe, and rotten fruits and bagasse can be used directly. After the pile, water it, mix it well so that it is well moistened, and then pile it on the ground at a height of one meter. The pile should be loose and not compacted, which is conducive to the reproduction of high-temperature bacteria. Then sprinkle water sufficiently, and the moisture content is between 50-60%.

After the feed is piled up, it is covered with plastic sheeting to achieve the purpose of heat preservation and moisturization. You can't get a large piece of plastic sheeting here, so you can use straw curtains instead. Then sprinkle with water to keep the curtain moist.

"After three or four days of accumulated organic waste, the temperature inside can rise to between 50-60 °C," Wu Nanhai opened his handbag, took out a strong object that was wrapped and wound with a straw rope, and carefully opened it, and inside was a huge glass rod - this is the latest alcohol thermometer produced by the glass factory, and the ugly appearance is like a vibrator, which is enough to make the otaku infinitely reverie.

"Thermometer, you have to monitor the temperature of the compost every day, it is not appropriate to have too low or too high. Half a month or so can be turned over once, add water, after three or four times of rotting, the rotten feed should be: dark brown, odorless, soft texture, not sticky. That's it. ”

Wan Lihui watched Wu Nanhai open a small pile, reached in with his hand and grabbed a handful of rotten feed out: "That's it." ”

This action made him a little convinced: yes, this is what an agricultural technician should look like.

Then Wu Nanhai began to take them to make earthworm beds, and piled up the rotten haode feed into ridges according to the size of 80 cm in width and 200~300 cm in length, and then watered it. Zuihou poured the earthworms from the wooden box into it. Almost immediately, the earthworms burrowed into the feed.

"If you refuse to go in. It means that the feed is not well rotted. Wu Nanhai said, "This batch is the seed worm brought with the ship, but there are only a few dozen, and under normal circumstances, each earthworm bed can be inoculated with 1,000." It will reach 15,000 pieces per square meter in about three or four months, and it will be harvested at this time. Soon earthworms can be used as feed, and earthworm manure can also be used as feed for fish and shrimp, and can also be used as fertilizer. ”

Wu Nanhai gave him another copy of "Earthworm. The mimeographed booklet of "Fly Maggot Breeding Jishu" also has a line printed on it with the words "Internal information, for the exclusive use of the Committee of Agriculture".

"Earthworm farming is relatively simple, mainly for heat preservation, moisture retention and aeration, and the other is to process feed."

"If you breed like this, it will take at least a quarter before you can build mass production capacity. Is it in time? ”

"Just in time." "In the beginning, we lent very little – there weren't so many chickens, and the demand for formula feed wasn't great. ”

After Wu Nanhai finished explaining, he gave him a list of items, all of which were the utensils needed to breed earthworms, rakes, shovels and other things, as well as masks from several pharmaceutical factories.

"These are in your name, and the masks are ready to be taken at any time - you must do a good job of labor protection, and you must pay attention to the storage of farm tools and other things."

Then he stepped on his bicycle and drove away. The two brothers sat on the edge of the earthworm's bed, looking at each other.

"Brother, didn't you say that you can play with guns when you come to this place?" Wan Lihuang looked at his brother, "I think why you want us to do farm work all day long......"

"This—" Wan Lihui was speechless. This reality is too different from casually using guns and Japanese robbers as targets, "Let's build a new countryside first." ”

"Then why are we here to build? Wouldn't it be better to go back to my hometown to build it back then......"

"How can there be so many weishenme!" Wan Lihui finally couldn't help it, "Go compost!" ”

The Wanjia brothers then began the construction of a new countryside in a new time and space.

Wu Nanhai rode a bicycle leisurely through the ridges, and from time to time he could meet his peasants and laborers on the road. Everyone was very accustomed to this kind of "iron wheeled car", no one came to watch, just stood respectfully and waited for him to pass when he passed by. Wu Nanhai usually wants to say hello to the peasants and workers, which is not a manifestation of "being close to the people", but his nature is generous to others, and he has always been like this.

Now instead of returning to the farm's office, he has gone to the newly built farm.

In the past, the farm was only a small part of the farm, and it was basically a courtyard farming model. Subsequently, through wars, seizures, trade, etc., the number of livestock and poultry increased. In addition, in the spring, under the guidance of a professional veterinarian like Yang Guigui, the Committee of Agriculture launched a large-scale artificial insemination campaign - the results were remarkable, and it was obvious that the population would further expand by the beginning of summer and autumn. COAG decided to establish permanent farms before that happens.

The farm is near the horse shed that was originally built for Nick, and in fact, the Committee of Agriculture has been looking at this land for a long time, and when it built the horse shed for Nick, it thought about buying it together.

But one of this large wasteland is actually owner-landed, about 200 acres in size, and some peanuts have been planted, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Ownerless land only needs to go to the county government to set up a formalities, spend a little money to get the title deed, but it took a lot of time to negotiate with the landlord of this land, this landlord belongs to a tendon-like character, Wu Nanhai followed Zhang Youfu to visit him, I really can't believe that this person is actually a landlord - the house he lives in is actually a grass roof. Although he was no different from the average small farmer, the landlord refused to sell the land that he was not planting and could not afford to cultivate, and it is said that if he sold it, he would not be a landlord. In order to maintain this false name, he resolutely refused to sell. went to negotiate many times to no avail, and Dugu, who knew about it, even planned to mobilize his police team to engage in forcible occupation. Zhang Youfu suggested: If the traverser doesn't want to do it himself, he can forge the land deed, and then spend 100 taels of silver to go to the county yamen to fight a lawsuit through Master Wang's way - quasi-win.

"No, no." Wu Nanhai shook his head when he heard it. This kind of collusion with the government and bullying people, he is unwilling from the bottom of his heart. Everyone also felt that this method was too dirty, and it seriously damaged the image of the crossing group -- it was a matter of the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty was rotten, and we now belonged to the initial stage of the revolution, and the image of Wei Guangzheng still had to be maintained
