Chapter 161: Improvement Success

Chu Xintian and Hammer picked up hoes, dug a few ditches in the backyard, and then kept drawing water from the well to irrigate the land, which Chu Xintian thought would dissolve the salinity in the land.

Instead of staying in the yard, the water flowed out of the yard along the ditch they dug.

Chu Xintian was worried that the saline-alkali soil on the land was too heavy, so he decided to wash the land several times. He spent a day watering and draining non-stop.

The saline components are almost completely discharged, and then they start fertilizing the land.

The fertilizer is the soil that Chu Xintian and Hammer got from Beishan. These mountains are full of rotten leaves. This is the best natural organic fertilizer.

Chu Xintian first sprinkled the fertilizer soil in the ground, and then used a shovel to turn over the original land in the backyard. When he turned the soil, the manure was mixed with the original land.

The land in the backyard is already close to white-gray, and it can be seen at a glance that there is no nutrition.

Mix the soil from the mountains into the ground, and the color will be much better.

However, the land does not seem to be fertile enough.

So, Chu Xintian took the hammer again, walked to the mountain, pulled two piles of soil, scattered them in the yard, and turned them over twice.

Grandma Li and Niu Li knew that Chu Xintian was improving the land in the backyard, and they helped a lot.

Grandma Li is a good vegetable grower and knows the habits of the land very well, and she told Chu Xintian that the land is too barren, so she had better apply more fertilizer.

At the same time, Grandma Li's family also accumulated some dried cow dung, which she gave to Chu Xintian.

Niu Li's mother's family raised sheep, and she also asked for a small cart of sheep dung from her mother's family and gave it to Chu Xintian.

The final step in fertilizing is rewatering.

Chu Xintian took the hammer up the mountain and used a wooden bucket to lift the water in the deep pool into the ground.

It took five or six days to get everything done.

When doing these jobs, Chu Xintian also had a feeling

No wonder the ancients said that at noon on the day of hoeing, sweat drops fall into the soil.

She was just renovating the land and was tired and had a sore back before she could start planting crops.

Sure enough, farmers are the hardest working people in the world.

Thanks to the help of the hammer, he was too strong.

Li Fusheng and Niu Dazhuang also came to help.

Otherwise, Chu Xintian was alone, and he didn't know how long he was going to do it

However, even if it was hard work, seeing such a result was a very happy thing for Chu Xintian.

After the improvement of the saline-alkali land, Chu Xintian also tried to see if her labor had an effect

The method of the experiment is very simple, that is, to see if the land, the things planted, can survive.

Chu Xintian dug up a few herbs from the deep pool of Beishan and transplanted them to the backyard.

In order to improve the survival rate, Chu Xintian did not dare to use the water from his own well for irrigation, but used the water from the deep pool for irrigation.

When all the herbs have been transplanted and planted, it depends on whether they survive or not.

To be honest, Chu Xintian was very anxious while waiting.

The reason for her anxiety was also very simple, Chu Xintian was worried that the improvement of this land would fail, and their efforts these days were in vain.

Fortunately, Chu Xintian's worries were superfluous, and the hard work paid off, and the transplanted herbs were rejuvenated after a few days of wilting.

It's a sign of being alive.

Chu Xintian knew that her land improvement plan had finally succeeded.

Of course, this is just a small step in Chu Xintian's plan.

Due to the improvement of saline-alkali land, Chu Xintian did not go to the county for many days.

The chicken leg grass and toon white bark she picked last time in Kitayama were also dry in the air. If she doesn't give it to the king's shopkeeper, she is afraid that the king's shopkeeper will be in a hurry.

And the family also needs to buy more food, and the hammer is becoming more and more edible.

In the afternoon, the work in the fields was finished, and Chu Xintian packed all the herbs and prepared to enter the city the next day.

Chu Xintian went up the mountain with a hammer again and caught three big fish in the deep pond, each weighing ten catties.

Go home, go through that clasp, and bring the prey home.

In addition to eating it himself, Chu Xintian also planned to give Lu Weichuan two big fish, plus two live rabbits and two live pheasants.

In Chu Xintian's opinion, Lu Weichuan was really grateful for helping Chu Yuan.
