Chapter 16 Seedling transplantation and fish pond construction
In the next three days, the villagers consciously went to work in the paddy fields of Liu Laohan's house, pulling weeds, digging ditches, and stacking ridges, all bringing their own farm tools, never causing trouble to Luo Yi, and not shouting at Luo Yi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every morning, Luo Yi slept until dawn before getting up, and when he went to the field, he saw that everyone was already busy.
really did what he said, and none of the more than 20 households in the village was absent.
In addition to being moved, Luo Yi was also thinking, when he made a fortune, he couldn't swallow it alone, and it was really good for everyone to be good.
Next, according to his own ideas, Luo Yi explained to the villagers, using his ideas to dig ditches and divide the fields.
Originally, he wanted to divide the 50 acres of land into two pieces, one for rice planting, one for seedling transplantation, and then plant a large number of vegetables after transplantation; But there are still hundreds of catties of fish in the house, which made Luo Yi change his mind again.
Those fish just fainted temporarily, after moving home, Luo Yi immediately poured them into the water tank and raised them, although some of them died, but most of them were still there, if so many fish were killed, then they would definitely not be able to eat them for a few years, after some thought, he decided, just make a fish pond!
Therefore, at his request, the villagers divided the field of Liu Laohan's family into three pieces, of which five acres were used for seedling transplantation and vegetable planting, and the other five acres were piled up very high and a lot of water was accumulated, and then used to breed crucian carp, and the remaining forty acres were the most important for planting rice.
With the help of the whole village, the work was done quickly, and in just three days, the matter was done, and even the Champa rice was sown, thrown on the seedling raising part, and the greenhouse technology was used to close the field.
In this era, there has never been greenhouse planting, in the past, the villagers raised seedlings, they were all scattering rice in the field, and then they didn't care, waiting for the grain seeds to become seedlings, and then throwing seedlings and other harvests.
Or it is a direct dry planting, sowing the grain seeds in the field and finishing.
Of course, Luo Yi's is not a real greenhouse, and the conditions of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to build this thing, because there is no heating and insulation device, just a small area is closed with a curtain to achieve a temperature increase.
Until the fourth day, the matter has been done, and the villagers have gone back to busy their own affairs, only Liu Shi, Liu Xu, Sigouzi, and Er Fat stayed, and there are still some finishing touches that have not been done.
At this time in the field, Luo Yi was covering the last piece of seedling raising with a curtain, and the four dogs couldn't help but smile: "Brother Xiao Yi, you're really not afraid of covering these grains to death, is this really okay?" ”
"Why not, this is greenhouse technology... No, it can't be called a greenhouse, it should be a greenhouse, which can increase the temperature inside and make the seedlings grow early. You'll find out in a while. ”
Liu Xu and the others were booed and doubted Luo Yi's words.
It's like a person sleeping, if you cover the quilt, can you still breathe, let alone grow your body, it's a question of whether you can live or not.
Luo Yi did not have the slightest worry about this, later generations of technology have proved this, and raising the temperature can indeed make the seedlings grow faster.
Luo Yi smiled: "Four dogs, you have to understand it this way, just like a hen hatching a chick, when the temperature rises, won't the chick hatch out, this is a truth." ”
Liu Xu and the others seemed to be thinking, although Luo Yi seemed to have some truth in what he said, but they still had serious suspicions, hatching chicks was raising the temperature, but they didn't let them breathe.
Looking at the greenhouses built one by one in front of them, the four dogs and the second fat were speechless for a while, these grains were bought by Luo Yi at a high price, and they cost four hundred and fifty yuan, and now they are ruined, the two of them are really worried, after a while, these grains will not be covered up like this.
If that's the case, it's a pity, there are three buckets sprinkled on the ground, dozens of catties.
Luo Yi said softly: "Don't worry, hehe... After a while, it will definitely surprise you. ”
His face was full of confidence, and after setting up the greenhouse, he walked towards the fish pond in front of him.
Liu Xu and the others carried hoes and followed closely, since Luo Yi said so, then they have nothing to argue about, just sit back and wait for the result.
After not going far, everyone came to the ridge of the fish pond.
The fish pond is not too big, but it is no problem to raise a few hundred catties of fish, a total of five acres are planned, and the surrounding area is built with hard soil piles, and there is a section made of stones, which is extremely solid.
In order to build this fish pond, the villagers also spent a lot of effort, all the soil and stones needed to build the ridge were moved from a mile away, more than a dozen people moved for a whole day, for this matter, Liu Shi's left hand was also pressed by the stone, and now it is still swollen.
Looking at this fish pond, Liu Xu and the four finally smiled: "Xiao Yi, you have done a good job in this fish pond, and when there are more fish in it in the future, let's buy it from you, and we won't go to the river to fish, see what Liu Dafu still earns." ”
Luo Yi chuckled and said: "Uncle Xu, if you want to eat fish, come here to catch it, what kind of money do you give, what kind of relationship do we have, aren't you too outlierable, besides, these fish are still caught by you." ”
"Hehe... I love to hear you say that, but the money still has to be given. ”
When it came to fishing, they remembered the thirty taels of silver, compared with the huge amount of money, the fish in the fish pond were really a drop in the bucket, Luo Yi had paid so much, if everyone still came here to fish, it would be too shameless, although he said so, but Liu Xu didn't plan to really come here to catch fish, even if he bought it with money.
After leaving the fish pond, the group returned home.
Liu Laohan had already cooked the meal, and Lanny ate it by herself.
Since the sale of the black blind man, the living conditions of the family have improved dramatically, every meal is inseparable from the meat, wild vegetables are stir-fried at high temperature, and all kinds of spices are readily available.
In this era, stir-fry has not been widely implemented, it is generally boiled in water, and then add a little salt to finish, this is the life of the people, as for the rich and noble, they may pay attention to some, but it is not much better, the four or five plates of stir-fried vegetables on the table are definitely a precedent in the food industry of the Tang Dynasty.
Lanny never got tired of eating, her body was getting better and better, and in just a few days, it was obvious that her face was ruddy, pink, and looked very cute.
At the dinner table, Luo Yi asked about Liu Xu and others' spring ploughing, in addition to Liu Shi, Liu Xu, Erfat, and Sigouzi all said that it was nearing the end, and their spring ploughing was very simple, that is, to dig out a piece of land, and then sow the grain seeds, and finish it in one day.
Like Erfat's house, it's simpler, just sow the grain seeds into the field and wait for the autumn harvest.
As for Liu Shi, he has been helping Luo Yi for the past few days, and there is no one at home to farm, so it was delayed.
"Uncle Shi, why don't I help you tomorrow."
Liu Shi smiled, waved his hand and said: "No, I am also going to be like Erfat's family this year, dry planting, just sow the grain seeds in the field, I will make it myself in a while, and the fields are ready-made." ”
Luo Yi couldn't help laughing, it seemed that farming like this would make a bumper harvest a ghost.
But he didn't plan to point out everyone, because no one listened to what he said, just like building that greenhouse, none of them were optimistic, and they all felt that the grain seeds would be killed, so he said so much and laughed at it.
After eating, everyone dispersed one after another, and Liu Xu and the others went back to their respective homes.
Since Liu Shi said that, Luo Yi also dispelled the idea of helping him, in fact, he was also very busy, and then he had to make grass ash and fertilizer, so as to use it when planting vegetables and throwing seedlings in the future.
The biggest advantage of Champa rice is that the maturity period is short, so it must be planted for two seasons, although I know that there is no big problem, but Luo Yi still has to write worried, it is best to use fertilizer to catalyze it, so as not to be embarrassed when you get it, if you can't plant it in the second season, it will be a tragedy.
