Because he saw the effect of composting with his own eyes, Old Man Zhu had no opinion on Ye Yuran directing everyone to dig pits and prepare for "manure".

The same amount of manure is more fertilized in the manure pit, but it is not at all comparable to the compost pit in terms of quantity.

What's more, compost is easy to preserve, unlike a manure pit, which is not very controlled by people - you can only dig as big as possible, so that it can be loaded a little more.

Because Ye Yuran stipulated that the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family should clean the pigsty with water every once in a while, the manure pit in their house filled up very quickly, but because it was mixed with too much water, the quality declined.

Old man Zhu had blamed Ye Yuran for this before, and after seeing the compost, he said: "I'll just say, what kind of pigsty are you washing for no reason, you are waiting for me here." ”

After seeing Ye Yuran pour the watered manure into the compost pit, he felt that he had "lost", and asked his son to dig a manure pit outside the outer wall of the backyard to "save money".

As a result, after seeing the effect of a pile of compost, he was picked up a few days ago, and he asked his son to pick it back.

Dad, you have to listen to your mother early, isn't this the end of this matter?

Ye Yuran didn't want so much, so he asked them to dig a few more compost pits outside the courtyard wall and deal with them.

"Don't be afraid of trouble, just dig a few more outside the wall. If you don't run out of it in the coming year, you can sell it to someone else. ”

Yes, that's right, this thing can be "sold for money".

Ye Yuran was in the memory of the original owner, and turned to the old man Zhu and asked the original owner about buying a "fat".

Old man Zhu thought that this was a good idea, so he called his son and did it.

Dad, even if you're busy all winter, you won't make much money from this thing.

But Daddy speaks, can they not do it?

Fortunately, Ye Yuran still has to plant winter wheat and vegetables here, which can be regarded as saving them.

A compost pit was dug out and mixed with the fine soil next to it, and Ye Yuran also asked them to take a sieve to sift it.

The soil that could fall through the sieve was what she wanted, and if it couldn't, she went back to the compost pit, added something to it, and soaked it up again.

Because the paper of this era is still very precious, the Zhu family can't afford to buy paper until now, let alone cup-shaped flower pots that can be degraded like modern times.

Ye Yuran had no choice but to let Old Man Zhu take a few sons to find a way to make this "nursery" as boxy as smooth as possible, and then pull on a thread and cut it into grids like cutting tofu.

The breeding method is also very simple, that is, according to the category, soak the seeds in water and wet them, and use the temperature to urge them to germinate.

When it's cold, wrap it in gauze and put it on your body, and when the sun comes out, put it under the sun to warm up.

Because it was the first time to do it, the first pack didn't sprout, and it was in batches later, and it grew first.

When the little buds were close to a finger long, Ye Yuran let them bury them one by one in the "grid" she had designed, and arrange them neatly.

Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu: "......"

This time, an old man Zhu was added: "......"

Ye Yuran's explanation is also very good: "Seeds are just like people, everyone has their own amount of food, whether they are full or not, people have mouths, can they say, but do they have seeds? It is because they don't have them, so in order to ensure that each seed can eat enough, we have to help them divide it in advance, one grain and one grid, so that they don't have to worry about their fertilizer being robbed by the next one." ”

Old man Zhu felt that it seemed quite reasonable to listen to it.

Anyway, it's not to toss the grain field, but to toss the "nursery" she tossed out by herself, and it will take a little effort for all of them, so they can do whatever she wants.

Watering, not like they used to be, picking a poke of water, sprinkling one scoop after another, but poking a lot of tiny holes under the scoop.

Scooping a ladle of water in this way, the water flowed out of the pores, as if it were raining.

"The soil in the nursery is very fine and light, and if you go down with such a scoop of water, you will definitely wash away the seeds, so you have to use this drizzle, just like rain, and water it carefully. Think for yourselves, the plants on the mountain are not watered, why they grow so well, because God it rains. Ye Yuran continued to flicker, "Farming should be like God learning, how it comes, how we come." ”

Old man Zhu and others agreed with this passage very much.

What farmer doesn't eat by looking at God's face? Although this kind of watering is a little slower, it is indeed more like God raining.

The next day, the men of the Zhu family were surprised to find: "Father, mother, come and see, the seeds have grown, look, they have grown......"

Old man Zhu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Why is it so fast?!You really let the seeds grow ahead of schedule?"

Liu's, Liu's, Lin's, and even Zhu Bamei, Lin Sanmei, and Lin Simei, who don't farm, came over to see the excitement.

Ye Yuran glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's not that it grew in advance, you forgot, when I asked you to plant them, the seeds were originally with buds, but now it has broken through the ground." ”

"Hey, mother, why is this piece growing?" Zhu Bamei also pointed to the place where the small buds were bubbling, compared the side, and asked suspiciously.

Zhu Si said, "Is the seed broken?"

Ye Yuran said: "It's not bad, it's that the varieties are different, and the growth rate of the seeds is different. If I remember correctly, this fastest-growing seed, good cabbage seedlings......"

Sure enough, a few days later, the Zhu family saw the seeds in the nursery, and they popped up one after another.

Some grow fast, some skewer slower, and they can't wait for people to cheer them on: "The ones next to them have grown so tall, why don't you fight for some anger and grow a little longer?"

"My mother said, different seeds grow at different rates, which is normal. Lin said, "However, I am really surprised, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, have you noticed that they do seem to grow taller than we sprinkled directly into the ground." ”

Liu nodded: "It's comfortable to look at, it's beautiful." ”

Liu: "And it's trouble-free, you don't need to sparse seedlings." ”

The men of the Zhu family also stood by the nursery, thinking for a while.

In the past, when they planted the land, they turned the ground well, sprinkled the seeds directly, watered them, and fertilized them. When they grow, at a certain time, they begin to thin the seedlings and pull out weeds.

But the strange thing is that their mother planted it in a different way, not only the seedlings are not thin, but even the weeds are gone.

Zhu San remembered something and asked, "Big brother, do you remember how many seeds your mother used at the beginning?"

Zhu Da recalled: "There are cabbage seeds, radish seeds, ......"

"I'm not asking you to count this, big brother, do you remember, when my mother was breeding, she counted the number of grains. For each kind of vegetable in this nursery, how many seeds are used, my mother knows in her heart. ”

As soon as Zhu San's words fell, Dabao and Erbao raised their little hands: "I know, I know what I helped grandma count, 60 cabbage seeds, 60 radish seeds......"
