Chapter 200: Fertilizer Utility
After all, he had been away for more than half a year, and Cheng Jin decided to stay in the capital for an extra month to accompany Jiang Baohui.
Xie Wuxian originally wanted to leave first, but his grandmother had an illness a year later, so he didn't leave immediately, and simply decided to go back with Cheng Jin a month later.
Beihe Village.
After the beginning of spring, the wheat needs to be topdressed, this time using human manure and urine.
The nutrients contained in human feces and urine are easy to decompose, and it is a fertilizer with a quick effect, which is very suitable for top dressing.
A few years ago, the family piled up the manure from the latrines and stored them before it was time for top dressing.
There are two kinds of storage methods: dry storage and wet storage, the Cheng family chooses dry storage, mixed with double fine soil or peat, and the other party is in a cool place, smeared with mud outside, or covered with a layer of fine soil to pat it down, which can prevent the loss of fertility.
Just wait until the day you want to use it and then take it out.
After working for more than half a month, it finally came to an end.
In February, Cheng Jin and Xie Wuxian finally came back, and they also brought Jiang Baohui's letter, and this time Lingbao actually had a separate one!
"Lingbao, why don't you accept it?" Cheng Jin tilted his head in confusion.
Cheng Yi pushed the stunned Lingbao and pinched her face, Lingbao seemed to have lost her soul, and finally came back to her senses after a long time.
"Close! Harvest! I'll take it!" How could she not accept the letter that her mother gave her?
Lingbao took it with both hands almost reverently, stroked it carefully, and then eagerly opened it to read.
There was only a piece of paper and a few words, but Lingbao's eyes were hot.
"Mother...... Lingbao rubbed his eyes, suddenly ran towards Cheng Zhongqian, held his hand, and said seriously, "Daddy, you must study hard, okay?" We need to go back to see our mother!"
Cheng Zhongqian nodded solemnly: "Hmm!"
After that, there were two more top dressings, and everyone in the Cheng family was used to it. new
The crops are the same every day, and the changes are very fast, because the new fertilizer is used this time, and they are waiting to see how the effect is, so Lingbao they will basically go to observe once a day, no more than three days at most, and they also deliberately took a small book to record, which is the small book that records the growth state of the fungus.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that the fungus cultivated by the villagers has been harvested one after another, and in addition to the food left by their own families, a large part of it has been sold for money, so this year, basically every household has eaten several meals of meat.
This was very unusual in previous years!
Today Lingbao is in the field again.
The green wheat ripples in the wind, the long feet are as tall as the calves, the grains are full and not deflated, and there is no yellowing and wilting, and at a glance, you can see that it is different from the people next to you.
Once you touch it again, you will be even more convinced that it is not ordinary!
Almost anyone with long eyes can see that the wheat of the Lingbao family grows very well, not to mention that they are all veterans who have been planting crops for decades.
"Lingbao, your wheat grows so well, heavy, and the thief in your heart is steady."
The village chief, a man who was dozens of years old, squatted in front of the field with Lingbao and a few of his children, and didn't feel anything at all.
Ever since the village chief found out about the growth of their wheat, he has been coming with him every day to see it.
Lingbao said proudly, "It's all thanks to the fertilizer."
The bottom fertilizer is good, and the top dressing is also good. The nutrients are sufficient, and of course the wheat grows well.
The village chief said regretfully, "I knew that I would have let everyone learn from you."
But in fact, he knew that even if he said it at that time, it is estimated that not many people would be willing to do it.
After all, the year's chewing depends on this grain in the field, and no one has tried the new fertilizer, you say that it will increase the yield, then I also say that the yield will be reduced!
Cheng Yun smiled and said, "I don't know what it will be like in the end."
The village chief said, "I don't think it's bad."
As he spoke, the village chief touched it rarely, and looking at that expression, he couldn't wait to sleep in the ground.
"Ahem, that, Lingbao." The village chief suddenly rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed, "Can you teach us how to make this fertilizer?"
」
He also felt that he was a little cheeky when he said this, but the Cheng family's crops were too tempting!
"If you're willing to teach us how to do it, I'll ...... I'll ......."
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't find out what they needed, so I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"I was meant to teach you." Ling Bao said with a smile.
The village chief looked up sharply and stammered with excitement: "Really, really?"
Ling Bao nodded: "Yes, my father is afraid that the effect will not be good, so let's try it first, if the effect is good, you can also use it this year."
The village chief burst into tears.
Cheng Zhongqian was not there, so he held Ling Bao and Cheng Yun's hands, and choked up, "Good boy, Uncle thank you for the whole village!" Thank you, thank you Cheng Xiucai, thank you for your whole family......"
Cheng Yun hurriedly interrupted him, he was afraid that if he didn't interrupt again, the village chief would say "Thank you for the eighteenth generation of your ancestors".
When the wheat was still green, the difference was already quite obvious, and by the time the wheat was yellow, everyone was speechless.
They had never seen such a thick and full wheat!
"I'm a mother, how many stones do you have to have?!"
"Obediently, Cheng Xiucai, your ears of wheat are too heavy!"
This can't be said to be ordinary, Cheng Zhongqian smiled all over his face.
It's time to harvest wheat today, the villagers are all holding sickles in their hands, but they don't go to their own fields, but gather in front of the Cheng family's crops, their faces are full of envy, I wish this was their own land, it was really a dream to laugh badly!
"Okay, okay, don't even look at it." The village chief shouted, "When the wheat is harvested, Cheng Xiucai will teach us how to make fertilizer, and next year, you don't need to be envious!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
"What? Really, the village chief?"
"Cheng Xiucai, Lingbao, are you really willing to teach us?"
Ling Bao nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes."
After the villagers were ecstatic, they still wanted to cry, why is this little girl so good!
They don't have anything to give Lingbao, so let's scold Han Dahu and the Wu family a few more words, it's not as good as a beast!
"Okay, let's go to work, finish the work early, and teach you how to make fertilizer as soon as possible." The village chief spoke.
The villagers hurriedly left, full of energy.
This year, Cheng Zhongqian, Cheng Yun, and Cheng Yi are more skillful, and the wheat stubble that was cut last year is of different heights, and the potholes are very ugly, but this year it is neat and tidy, and it can be burned into fertilizer when the time comes.
The three of them are cut in the front, and the three of them are tied in the back.
"It's really sunk a lot!" Ling Baoxiao's eyes couldn't see.
Obviously, the number of bundles is about the same as last year, but it is more than a star and a half heavy.
Lingbao suddenly hugged the king, buried his face in its fur and sucked hard.
"Thank you, King!"
Only then will she have the space to read so many books, and she will know this good way to benefit the people.
