Chapter 112: The Tide
When Shen Changlin was out of school at noon, he quietly told Shen Chi about this, but Shen Chi frowned slightly: "It's only 20,000." ”
He was still too little, and Shen Changlin couldn't help but roll his eyes at this person's little son in his heart.
To be honest, this price did not meet Shen Chi's expectations, but then I thought about it, 20,000 is 20,000, and it is better to have something than nothing.
Didn't the letter say that it would be published later? If it is published, there are still royalties to be collected, so he agreed to the deal, and took out the final manuscript and handed it to Shen Changlin, so that he could take the time to go to the post office and send the manuscript.
Shen Changlin went to withdraw the money in the afternoon, and then deposited it directly into the town's credit cooperative.
During this time, Shen Chi was preparing for the National Primary School Olympiad Competition, and until there were still three days before the competition, he set off ahead of schedule with Teacher Duan.
Having participated in the competition once, Shen Chi is familiar with all the processes, and there were no accidents in the competition, and he answered the paper smoothly, and the rest is to go back and wait for the results.
Teacher Duan has absolute confidence in Shen Chi, since he participated in the Olympiad last year, Shen Chi has never won the second place in large and small competitions, and this time he didn't ask much, took Shen Chi back to school, and waited for the results of the competition with peace of mind.
There was no need to prepare for the Olympiad competition, Shen Chi except for occasionally making up for Sun Tao's class time became abundant, and when he came home from school, he went into the orchard to take care of his medicinal herbs.
Needless to say, salvia is its own source of income, and it is essential to give birth every day.
The newly planted yellow essence and shou wu are used to exchange for aura, and they must also be born frequently, so that those fruit trees can only be born once in ten days and half a month.
Even so, the growth of those fruit trees is still very gratifying, it seems that Shen Changlin usually does not water less spiritual fertilizer, according to this momentum, next year can let the fruit trees hang fruit.
As soon as Shen Chi entered the garden, he saw that his father had already cut a load of alfalfa and was feeding the chickens.
After feeding the chickens, they began to use a manure spoon to scoop out the residue in the manure pond.
"Dad, I'll help you." Shen Chi said and Shen Changlin took the dung spoon in his hand.
"Have you done your homework?" Shen Changlin asked.
"It's already done." As he spoke, Shen Chi put the dung spoon into the pool to scoop out the bones, medicinal residues and other fermented dregs, so that they could be fermented when new materials were added to it.
Shen Changlin, a dung spoon, burned many holes with thick wire, which was specially used to filter liquids.
At this time, Shen Changlin had already fished up two baskets, and he didn't say anything more when he heard the words, and walked towards the two acres of ginseng garden he opened with the two baskets of residues.
Although most of the fertility of these residues has been fermented, the remaining fertility buried in the soil can still play the role of fertilizing the field, and after decay, it can also improve the soil quality and make the soil clods soft.
Shen Chi continued to fish for the residue piled up next to the pool, Shen Changlin came to the pool after burying the slag, shoveled the slag into the basket with a shovel, and then found a scorched dung spoon and scooped it up.
"Teach the fifth uncle, teach Uncle Tian." Seeing the two, Shen Chi was busy beckoning.
"Yo, Xiao Chi is also helping to work, or your Xiao Chi is capable, smart and diligent in reading, my kid can't be compared at all." Yuan Jiaotian praised Shen Chi and said.
Shen Changlin smiled, took over the conversation and said, "It's true that this kid doesn't worry about people. By the way, what are you here for? ”
"It's true that I have something to ask you for, aren't we selling clothes at Sister Aizhi? I can't take care of the work in the field, and I don't see that the salvia you planted this year is selling well, so I came to ask you for some planting methods. Yuan Jiaowu saw that Shen Changlin took the initiative to ask, so he also replied straight to the point.
These days, there are many people who ask Shen Changlin for advice on planting salvia, and Shen Changlin has summed up a set of planting experience by himself, and when he saw the two of them asking, he chatted with them again.
"Is there anything special about fertilization?" Yuan Jiaowu and the two listened very carefully, and after Shen Changlin finished speaking, the two asked about fertilizer.
Speaking of fertilizer, Shen Changlin talked endlessly, and then Yuan Jiaotian glanced at the manure pool under his feet and asked Shen Changlin with some curiosity: "Your fertilizer seems to be a little different from ordinary farm fertilizer." ”
"This fertilizer is prepared according to the recipe recorded in the ancient books sent by Mr. Xiao Chi, you don't know, it turns out that this crop is the same as people, and it needs herbs to make up." Shen Changlin replied.
At this point, the residue in the manure pond has been cleaned up, and all that remains is a thick liquid that looks like a dark green starch paste.
"And Fangzi? What are the required items? Yuan Jiaowu immediately humbly asked for advice.
"There are many things written in the recipe, such as grinding the bones of various animals, tortoise shells, shells, and the internal organs of various animals.
By the way, the most important thing is to make a decoction of more than a dozen Chinese herbs such as long bone grass and astragalus, and pour the above things into the pool to ferment for three months. Shen Changlin didn't hide it.
Shen Chi listened to it and hurriedly interrupted his father's words and said, "Dad, this medicinal fertilizer is the formula from Teacher Huang's ancient books, and it can't be easily told to others. ”
As soon as he said this, Yuan Jiaotian and Yuan Jiaowu were a little embarrassed.
This decoction is just used by Shen Chi to disguise the spiritual fertilizer of the system, and the reason why his family's fertilizer works well is mainly because the twenty-one catties of spiritual fertilizer produced by the manure pond every day are diluted into the pool, in fact, he is not afraid that his father will tell these people the recipe, and the reason why he stops it is just to add a sense of mystery and convincing to his spiritual fertilizer.
"That's how you make this fertilizer?" Yuan Jiaowu asked.
Shen Changlin no longer talked about the medicinal fertilizer formula, and Yuan Jiaotian and the others asked some questions about planting, and they didn't leave until Hu asked the father and son to eat.
Driven by Shen Chi's family, Yuanjia Village set off a wave of salvia, and for a time there was an endless stream of people who asked Shen Changlin for advice, which made Shen Changlin feel a sense of achievement.
The people of Yuanjia Village were busy doing business last year, and the vegetables planted in the field were mainly easy-to-take vegetables.
Because Shen Chi's family has a lot of people working, in order to save time, they even eat at noon at their house, so they need more vegetables, plus those pigs and chickens need feed, and for a while, the Shen Chi family can consume most of the vegetables that the people in the village have accumulated in the city.
Shen Changlin still has a hand, and sometimes he drags it to the vegetable market to wholesale when he collects too much, so there are many things to ask Shen Chi's family, and even those who rarely interact with Shen Chi's family often come to Shen Changlin, which is quite flattering.
The demand for feed for livestock at home has increased, Gui Shuzhen has to cook for dozens of people, and there are not enough people, Shen Changlin did not plant early rice this year, but planted a season of bamboo leaf vegetables, and with alfalfa, it can also maintain the daily consumption of those pigs and chickens.
