Chapter Seventy-Three: The Plan
In the following days, the brothers and sisters of the Liu family didn't care about how others fished, and only put their minds on the ground, where the weeds and dry wheat stalks could be used as firewood, but their family lived on the edge of the mountains and forests, and where would there be a shortage of firewood.
"If you really want to clean it up, it will take a lot of effort, I think it is better to light a fire, burn it directly to ashes, and also fertilize the ground." Du Danshen said.
The surrounding land is also empty, but the fields are clean, and there are not even a few weeds, and no matter how they burn here, it doesn't matter what.
"It's easy to burn to ashes, but others won't have opinions, right?" Liu Paner was a little worried.
This is also the only time I came to the village to farm, and I don't know people very well, mainly because there is no adult in the family, and I lack confidence, so I can't help but be a little timid about doing anything.
"Who will have an opinion, besides, the big guys are busy at this moment, let's clean up ours." Du Danshen laughed.
After the summer grain is harvested, some diligent people hoe the field again, just wait for the winter wheat to be sown after the autumn, not very diligent, there are still cut off wheat piles in the field, and they hoe and cultivate after the autumn, and now there is no one in the field at all, and even if there is work, it is estimated that they will not be able to take care of the work at this time.
Aunt Li's family is quite popular in the village, this fishing thing, but whenever someone comes to the door, she doesn't hide it from others, even if the people who have a bad relationship in the past, she doesn't embarrass people with a shy face, so now almost everyone in the village has learned to fish.
But what is disappointing is that there are many people who catch fish, even if there are not a few fish caught each time, they can be sold in the town, and the number of fish sold is also rising, and they can't sell at all.
Don't look at Du Danshen is the youngest, but people have a good idea, and they have come up with ideas a few times at home, all of which have been recognized by everyone, and what she says now is also quite weighty, especially Liu Paner's lack of courage and can't make up her mind, and there is a person who can stand firmly, which is even more convincing.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Liu Pan'er nodded in response, and then a few people cleaned up the weeds in the field and lit a fire.
On this hot day, the sun was shining, and the grass and straw in the field had already dried extremely dry.
"Look at it, don't let the fire burn anywhere else." Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, Liu Paner shouted worriedly.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, you see that the surroundings are empty, and they can't be burned." Du Danshen is not in a hurry at all, even if there is wind, the wind is not strong, and no matter how strong the firepower is, it can only burn to this distance.
A fire burned very quickly, and after a while, only scattered sparks remained.
"This method is really good, so many weeds will burn away in a blink of an eye." Liu Qing'er's face was flushed, this was roasted by the fire.
"No, if it's burned to ashes, it can still fertilize the ground." Du Danshen pondered for a moment, and then said to Liu Pan'er: "Eldest sister, I don't think our land needs to be as empty as others. ”
"Didn't Aunt Li say that she wanted to raise the land, everyone raised it, let's raise it too."
Du Danshen listened and said with a smile: "What Aunt Li said about raising the land, it is because of the lack of fertilizer in the field, so you can't plant one stubble after another, otherwise the fertility in the field is not enough, and the crops will not grow well, but we can apply more fertilizer to the ground, so that the land will not be barren." ”
As far as she knows, there seems to be no such thing as raising land in later generations, of course, there are a lot of various fertilizers, and if enough fertilizer is applied to the ground, the crops will not grow badly at all, and even because of the fertility, many crops can grow better.
"Do you want to plant something in the ground, but it's not the right time!" Even if she had never planted the land, she knew that planting crops still had to come according to the season, just like in this field, the wheat had to wait until after autumn.
"It's not good to grow food, but we can grow some vegetables, the vegetable plot at home is only a small piece, and the vegetables we grow are not enough for us to eat." Du Danshen pondered and said.
If the food is not enough to eat, you have to take money to buy it, or exchange it for something, this is indeed a big problem, Liu Paner couldn't help but think about it, and hesitated to say: "Then let's plant a small piece, plus the vegetable field at home, it's enough to eat?" ”
"Instead of planting only a small piece, if we all grow vegetables, what we can't eat, we can make dried vegetables, keep them for the winter and eat them slowly, or we can take some to the town and sell them for some oil and salt."
Liu Pan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, if it could be like this, it would be great, and the daily chewing could be spent from the field, so there was no need to eat the old book, but then she frowned: "But this land, didn't Aunt Li say it......"
"Let's give it a try, eldest sister, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you apply enough fertilizer, this land will be the same as other people's, and maybe even more fertile." Du Danshen said in a firm tone.
"If that's the case, what do you do for fertilizer?" The fertilizer that Liu Paner knows is mostly the manure left by people raising pigs and chickens, but they don't raise pigs at home, and there are a few chickens, but that is not enough.
"This fertilizer, I've also thought about it, we can use plant ash, and then there is to dig a pit to store some fertilizer, such as rotten grass and trees thrown into it, almost all of them are fertility...... "Of course, the best is manure."
"When we plant this land, we can also raise two pigs at home in the future, and it will be no worse than others." Du Danshen added.
Liu Pan'er was still frowning: "You said that method, can it really be useful?" ”
"Whether it's useful or not, let's try it and find out!" This is also the first year of planting, although it cost a lot of silver, but for the harvest, everyone can still see the harvest, after all, there was no land before, and there was no hope of a harvest to live.
"In that case, then you can try it, if it doesn't work, then it's nothing, the harvest is poor, then there will be a harvest." Liu Paner can also see this, she has no farming experience, she didn't dare to expect how much harvest she could have in the first year, in short, she embroidered this and could make some money.
Du Danshen listened, smiling, she wanted to try, and everyone can support it, that's a good thing, and she is not really in the nonsense, if it is done, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat at home, and there will be more income, and it will not delay the harvest of the next year.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, I will definitely be extra attentive." Du Danshen clenched his fists and said.
"I know, if there is anything to contribute, you just have to tell me, you are young and can't stand it, otherwise you won't grow tall." Liu Paner instructed.
