Chapter 272: The Smell of Feces
Mobile reading
"Yes, Aunt Ruan, we know." The sisters answered.
Time passed day by day, and the days when Jiang Yu'er was going to the capital were approaching day by day. To say that there is no entanglement, that is not afraid, that is false.
People always have illusions, anticipation, and fear of the unfamiliar environment they are about to face.
Looking forward to this place as beautiful as I thought, I am afraid that when this place is really faced, it will not be as beautiful as I imagined, or worse.
In March, sometimes the spring breeze blows, and sometimes the spring rain continues.
It's a good time to grow crops. In another month, Jiang Yuer will take Jiang Xiaoyu to Beijing for medical treatment. Now we have to explain clearly what is in the field, what is in the field, what should be explained, and what should be done is done.
Jiang Yu'er was very busy during this time, and traveled to various villages almost every day.
Today, Jiang Yuer took Chu Xia to Qiaotou Village. During this period of time, several people already knew in the early summer that the Jiang family had only been a family for two years. And the girl in front of her, who is not much older than her, is the leader of this family and this village.
She bought land to clear the land and practiced two crops of grain a year.
In the past, she thought that a year would be only one season of grain. In other words, food production could not be so high.
The family has land and land, but there are many sisters. Dad sold her and her sister, and there is an older brother and two younger brothers at home. In such a family, there are only two acres of thin fields. At the end of the year, all the grain is harvested, and the frugal food is only enough for the whole family to eat for a few months.
Later, when she grew up, her grandmother said that her daughter was a money-losing product, so it was better to sell it to others as a maid, and she could also subsidize some household expenses. So she and her sister were sold.
It's just that she is reluctant to let her sister suffer alone in the house, and some people look up to her, and she also refuses on the grounds that she wants to bring her sister.
Now they are following Jiang Yu'er, although the time is not long, she has learned a lot of things. The eldest lady will let them study with the second and third ladies when they are fine, although it is a little difficult, but they are no longer the kind of illiterate people.
The eldest lady said that she doesn't really need to be served, but sometimes it is more convenient to have someone around.
Looking at the piles of rotten leaves piled up in the fields, I don't understand why I didn't take these things out and throw them away, and let them be left in the fields.
Puzzled, she whispered and asked, "Miss, what are these for?" Why don't you take it out and throw it away? ”
In the past, when they were farming, they were not allowed to have anything else in the field, because that would affect the growth of food.
Jiang Yu'er looked at the pile of manure to be used to grow sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "Do you think it's just ordinary leaves in early summer?" ”
Hatsu was puzzled, but nodded honestly.
"If you look closely, what's the difference between it and ordinary leaves?"
Chu Xia was puzzled and stepped forward to check. It's just that as soon as I got to the side, I smelled an unusual smell, like the smell of feces, which was very pungent.
I felt that I covered my nose and retreated: "Miss, the leaves will stink." ”
"What do you smell?"
"The smell of feces."
"Hmmm! It's feces. Those leaves are not ordinary leaves, they are all processed. It was indeed all dung, domestic animals, and some humans. This is called agricultural fertilizer. When growing grain, putting this will increase the yield. After speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't you think it's amazing, why is there so much food in our family?" Why can food be grown in winter? ”
Early Summer nodded.
Jiang Yu'er looked into the distance and said: "In the past, people planted the fields, that is, they buried the seeds in the soil, and then weeded when the grass grew, but they didn't know that when they were farming, putting some fertilizer would increase the yield. Food not only needs water and soil nutrients, they also need some agricultural fertilizer, chemical fertilizer. It's just that there is no such thing as fertilizer in this era. Otherwise, the grain output will be doubled on the original basis. ”
Jiang Yu'er said to herself, nodding from time to time in early summer. Although there are some things that the eldest lady said that she can't understand, she feels that the eldest lady of her family is really powerful and understands so much. You can still grow food so well.
In his eyes, little stars almost popped up to worship Jiang Yu'er.
Jiang Yuer came to Qiaotou Village, and the person in charge here received the news. Jiang Yuer not only arranged a place for them to live, but also arranged a job for them. The most important thing is that Jiang Yuer also asked them to raise a pig in each family here, and they could also kill it to be a New Year's pig during the Chinese New Year.
The person in charge of Qiaotou Village is an old man of about fifty, which is considered a crop veteran. The reason why Jiang Yuer asked him to be in charge of Qiaotou Village is mainly because he is a more down-to-earth person and has certain leadership skills.
"Miss, are you here?" Don't look at him about fifty, he still respects and admires Jiang Yu'er very much.
He never knew that the yield of grain could be so high, and he never knew that grain could be grown twice a year. And these are all Jiang Yu'er told him what to do in order to have such a big harvest.
Jiang Yu'er saw him rushing over in a hurry, and also greeted him with a smile: "Hello old Li!" How's it going? ”
The person known as Lao Li Tou smiled and said, "Back to the eldest lady, we are turning the ground." It can be planted the day after tomorrow. ”
Jiang Yu'er smiled, her eyes full of satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work." This year, I will grow some sweet potatoes, and the corn I gave you, and I will come when the next plant is ready. ”
After the sweet potatoes are planted, you can plant corn, Jiang Yuer is not at ease, and she doesn't want this year's corn to be wasted again. Although seeds are available, the price is not low. She didn't want to be wronged again.
"Yes, Miss." Old Li Tou humbly agreed: "Does the eldest lady want to go to the field to have a look?" ”
There is much more dry land than paddy fields in Qiaotou Village, and the reason why Jiang Yuer is not at ease is because corn will be planted in Qiaotou Village this year. So she's going to come and have a look.
"Hmmm! Check it out! After speaking, he took Chu Xia and followed Lao Li Tou towards the ground.
Seeing those clay cakes that were turned out by the plough and turned into lumps, Jiang Yuer explained carefully: "Old Li Tou, these clay cakes should be broken up, and planting corn is not as good as planting sweet potatoes." If such a large cake is pressed against the corn, it will suffocate the buds. ”
"Yes, Miss. Someone will take care of this when they turn around. Lao Li agreed.
Jiang Yu'er walked around casually and took a look, and overall, she was very satisfied.
Now that Li Feng is gone, she still has to manage the affairs of the brick kiln. It's really tiring.
Time flies quickly, after harvesting the wheat, Jiang Yuer taught those long-term workers how to plant corn, and explained thousands of instructions, even the spacing was clearly explained, hoping that there would be no mistakes this year.
