At this time, Song Fusheng was taking his daughter to farm.

Song Fuling has really gained her knowledge today and learned a lot of knowledge that she didn't know at all before.

The first thing to understand is the difference between a cellar and a nest.

The cellar is vertically downward, digging down from the ground, digging very deeply, standing at the mouth of the cellar and looking down, it is a big dark and deep hole in the eye.

Every time I go to the cellar to pick up vegetables, my father said that I have to open the cellar lid first to disperse the air before I can climb the ladder to get the vegetables.

Because there are no vents in the cellar, there is a lack of oxygen in it.

If people go straight down, they won't be able to.

In the same way, you also need oxygen to grow vegetables, so you can't grow vegetables in the cellar that you dig straight out.

Diwozi is different.

The nest is not dug vertically downward, but dug like an air-raid shelter, like a tunnel, and dug out that shape. Dig as many tunnels as you need.

To put it bluntly, the house at home is generally built on the ground, and the nest is underground, digging out a home like an tunnel, and the home is underground.

What kind of normal home we have, we can build a kang, we can cook, we have a kitchen, and our homes can be like that.

There are also ventilation holes in the nest, so you don't have to scatter them in advance like going to the cellar, so you can grow vegetables here.

"Dad, why is there a cellar and a nest here, who dug it?"

Song Fusheng didn't know the grievances between Ren Jiacun's old Xiucai and Ren Lizheng, but he would guess.

Relying on the few broken bricks left in the nest, he estimated that a kang had been built here, and then he picked it up, guessing that there was a group of people here, who might have moved here in the winter.

In winter, houses cannot be built in the north, because the ground is frozen and there is no way to lay foundations.

Then the gang dug a few dens in the ground to deal with it.

Maybe the population is quite large, and if there is a large family, the nest is quite large.

Then they lived here until the beginning of spring, and built the thatched house where they live now.

Song Fusheng guessed very accurately, it was indeed the case back then.

Song Fuling asked again:

So why is it warm underground? Why do you dig tunnels without a house to live in, what is the principle of this?

Why is it that underground, if we don't burn a fire for heating, it will be warmer than our house on the ground?

Why do vegetables and fruits last long in a nest or cellar?

Song Fusheng told his daughter:

"How to describe this, it's not a matter of being warm or not, it's keeping a constant temperature.

In summer, no matter how hot it is outside, for example, it is 30 degrees above zero outside, and it is 18 degrees in the cellar, and the cellar is not affected by the outside weather, and it will be 18 degrees.

In the same way, in winter, it is minus 30 degrees outside, and it is still 18 degrees in the cellar.

Constant temperature is to maintain it almost all the way to that temperature.

So from ancient times to the present, it is good to say that in summer, if we can't build a house in winter, we humans will dig a nest to live in, because even if there is a lack of firewood and no fire, at least we can't freeze to death in the nest. Eighteen degrees forever.

If you don't burn a fire to keep warm, it will be affected by the weather outside, and people can freeze to death in the house. ”

In addition, Song Fusheng also whispered to his daughter like chattering:

"In the modern fifties and sixties, whether the construction corps went to the north or anything, anyway, outsiders came to the north in winter, there were no houses to live in, and there were too many people, so they dug the ground and nests.

The old house in the front yard of your grandfather's house, the courtyard is not like other people's homes, and it is a straight cellar, which is a nest in the ground, which was dug there by the construction corps before.

So your grandfather's family can grow garlic, but other people's families can't, and he was reported for being jealous. ”

This is the first knowledge that Song Fuling learned when she got up early to help her father work.

The second knowledge is that you really farm.

Pastoral life, although not on the ground, is really idyllic.

In the nest, Song Fusheng kept working while whispering to teach his daughter to plant garlic.

Just look, the land in the nest has been leveled, and it must be leveled before it can be planted.

"Dad, why should the garlic be soaked in water for a night before planting?"

"You have to let the garlic absorb water and oxygen, it is good to survive, and you have to choose a large garlic seed that germinates quickly. In fact, if you plant a small amount according to our usual time, you don't need to break it or soak it in the soil, so you don't need to work hard at all. But let's not make money, a head of garlic also has to be carefully calculated, it is best that each clove of garlic can grow seedlings, so it is so hard and soaking. ”

"Oh. Dad, I know that garlic sprouts are green, so what's the difference between our garlic and garlic sprouts? ”

"It's not a big difference. The only difference is that the garlic sprouts are planted in the ground, and they have to be exposed to the sun before they can turn green.

We don't have the conditions to plant on the ground at the moment, we have to build a greenhouse on the ground, and the oil paper for the greenhouse is too expensive, and we have to burn the fire in the house on the ground, so that the garlic seedlings can grow taller when they are warm, so we plant garlic.

One is that the nest is warm, and the other is that garlic is not so delicate, and it can grow without sunlight underground.

Why is it called garlic yellow, there is no sunlight, the leaves can't become green, it's not yellow, so it's called garlic yellow. ”

Song Fusheng demonstrated to his daughter again, taught Song Poria cocos, and let the soaked garlic be broken and planted neatly.

"What?" Song Lingling learned closely. Ah, that's it. Insert the garlic head down and root side up into the soil.

Only this simple garlic planting almost didn't exhaust Song Poria to death.

Because in this whole nest, there is only a place where you can water when you walk, and all the rest is to be planted with garlic.

In other words, one by one, try not to leave gaps, and insert the garlic neatly into the soil.

Trip after trip, garlic must be planted in the dense soil.

Squatting there, Song Ling's waist was stiff, her squatting legs were numb, she bent over and pouted on the ground to repeat the mechanical action, and she was tired after a while.

If you are tired, you can't sit on the ground with your buttocks, it's not that it's cold on the ground, it's easy to accidentally sit on the garlic inserted into the soil. You must know that if you sit down, you will sit on a large area, and it is time for the white seed.

Song Fusheng bent forward, and when he heard the girls behind him gasping, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and looked back and asked, "Are you tired?" When you're tired, go up. It's dark here, you know how to grow vegetables, and if you solve the strangeness, go up and rest. ”

Song Fuling rubbed her head with her arm to sweat, "I'm not tired, the work is not finished, I don't know what to do next after planting it in the soil." ”

When four hundred catties of garlic were planted in the nest where Song Fusheng and them were, the next step was to flatten it, and after flattening, the soil they dug back from the mountain came in handy.

The soil under the roots of the trees on the mountain is strong.

How to prove it, Song Fusheng said: "Look at those who plant delicate flowers, what big peonies and big orchids are planted, flower farmers will deliberately go to the mountains to dig the soil, just because the soil under the roots of the tree is strong." Do you think, this soil, planting flowers can be made, is it more powerful to plant our little garlic? ”

Song Fuling smiled after hearing this, her little face was black mud in the east and west, and she smiled and said to her father: "Well, it can be more powerful." ”

Song Fusheng picked up these powerful soil from the mountain and sprinkled it evenly on all the garlic.

This is also a meticulous job, and Song Poria can't use a spade to lift the soil.

What she raised was either that there was too much soil sprinkled on this piece of garlic and buried the garlic very deeply, or that piece of garlic was not covered with soil, so Grandpa Song couldn't stand it anymore, and also persuaded: "Fat girl, go up and rest." ”

"No, grandpa, I'm not tired."

The next step is to irrigate.

If you plant all 400 catties of garlic in the soil, you have to water it, and if you don't water it, it can grow taller.

Song Fusheng told his daughter: "You are particular about the water all over the time, no matter what vegetables you grow, basically you have to water it thoroughly for the first time." After that, you don't need to water it vigorously, you see it's a little dry, you water it again. ”

And pouring garlic, when pouring water, you should slowly water it from the side, this is the skill, this is the old Qian family, the modern old man Qian has skills, Qian Peiying told Song Fusheng.

You can't snort and water from above, that's not okay. The amount of water should also be controlled, just enough to submerge the garlic.

Song Fuling is capable of this job.

Girls, who are not so strenuous in their work, will always be more meticulous than men.

The last step of planting garlic is to water it thoroughly and then skim a layer of sandy soil on top of it.

"Finished?"

"It's over."

"So, Dad, when will it sprout?"

Song Fusheng teased his daughter, in a hurry? You see, it won't be long before the buds will emerge.

He smiled at the big guy working in the nest and said, "Our first wave of garlic, I have to leave a handful for my daughter to eat." My daughter has made a lot of efforts, and I have to let my daughter taste what her own food tastes like. ”

The big guy laughed and said that he wanted to get it, and when the time came, he would fry a plate for the fat girl to eat.

Song Fuling grinned, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart, eating the vegetables she had grown.

The two daughters of the eldest girl and the elder Guo were also helping to work in the nest, and several girls laughed on their faces, but they thought suspiciously:

Or not? How to grow a vegetable has become a terrible thing.

They used to be responsible for growing vegetables at home, and they took care of the family's vegetable garden from planting to harvesting. They just haven't planted garlic before.

When I got to the fat girl, look at the third uncle, it seems that the fat girl is very good.

It was at this time that Song Jinbao shouted loudly at the mouth of Diwozi: "Third uncle, Uncle Fugui said that there is a person surnamed Sui, who introduced a few carts of people who sell gourds, and wants to sell our gourds and give them cheap." ”

Without waiting for Song Fusheng to ask, Song Jinbao shouted again: "The one surnamed Sui didn't come, so the one who sold the gourd came." ”

"Got it."
