42. Guide seedling raising
At the end of March, Luchuan Middle School had a monthly holiday, which lasted five and a half days, and it was connected with the Qingming holiday.
In general, middle schools are like this, except for the longer holidays such as May Day and National Day, other one-day holidays often do not have a holiday, but if it happens to be about the same time as the monthly holiday, it may be closed together.
This year's Qingming Festival is on April 3, and the monthly holiday starts on the morning of March 31 and ends on the afternoon of April 5.
"It's finally time for the holidays, and I can go home. Handsome, shuangshuang, did you miss your aunt. ”
Mo Changfeng's family had already packed up their things and was ready to go home, but they were waiting for Mo Changfeng to take a holiday, and after the girl finished the third class, she ran out with her schoolbag as soon as possible.
After getting in the car, she followed the handsome in the hands of her second aunt, and reached out to tease the pair that Liu Yuehua was holding, and asked the two babies with a smile.
It's just that the two babies can't speak yet, but after seeing her, they all said very happily, because their brother and sister like this aunt very much.
Since Mo Changfeng came down to take the baby, there have been more people eating at home, and Mo Changfeng and Mo Changyin have come to eat together at noon and evening every day.
It's just that Mo Changfeng is in his second year of high school, and the vacation time is still relatively long, but Mo Changyin is in his third year of high school, and he has two months to take the college entrance examination, so the monthly vacation is shortened to two and a half days, and he has to take classes for another three days before he has a holiday.
"It's a pity that Changyin didn't have a holiday, otherwise we could go home together." Zhou Wanrong said.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, and Changyin's grades are average, so let him study more in school." The second aunt can think about it, after all, during this time, her son comes over to eat together every day, and he can see him if he wants to.
"Changfeng, we have leveled out the seedling field, just wait for you to come back and take everyone to raise seedlings." At noon, Zhou Caifu also came over for dinner, mainly because he wanted to have a grandson, so he came over to have a look, and of course he had to discuss business with Mo Changfeng.
"Tomorrow, I'll soak the grain seeds tonight, and sprinkle them directly in the field tomorrow." Mo Changfeng nodded and said.
During this time, the villagers of several surrounding villages bought most of the Mo family's grain seeds, plus the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute asked for three or four thousand catties before and after, and almost all the nearly 20,000 catties harvested last year were sold.
Of course, some of them came to pre-order last year, and some of them learned from the people around them that they came to buy seeds this year, and I believe they will be completely convinced after this year.
"The income from grain seeds is 780,000 yuan in total, not counting the seed production in the village." At night, when there was only one family left, Mo Changfeng calculated the accounts, mainly to let the family know the family's income.
"Changfeng, now our family doesn't make our own grain planting, let's make it together, and we won't have this income next year, right?" Wang Juhua asked, seemingly a little reluctant, after all, making grain seeds at home is equivalent to a monopoly, and so much income in a year is enough to buy a house in the county.
"Mom, I'll do the math for you. The annual grain planting is enough for half of the province's land to be planted, and the province's annual grain harvest will increase by several million tons, which can feed the population of our city.
Speaking of our family's income, my management fee is about 500,000 yuan, the dividend is at least 180,000 yuan, and the grain seed and nutrient water are about 100,000 yuan, so it is 780,000 yuan, which is about the same as this year's income.
However, the people in the village, every household can get a lot of money according to the acres of land, the least is 120,000 yuan, and the most may be 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, so that everyone gets rich. Mo Changfeng analyzed with a smile.
"Well, that's going to happen. There is no loss of income in our family, and even the people in the village can earn money, so I will definitely support it. Wang Juhua nodded hurriedly and said.
"Our whole family has to support this matter. Now in the village, our family has been called the richest man, according to the previous above, the first rich drive the latter to get rich, we are the first to get rich, and now we are taking the people in the village to get rich together, in order to achieve common prosperity. Mo Shifu nodded.
"Girl, you have to help your sister-in-law take care of the baby in the next few days, I have something to do." Mo Changfeng rubbed his sister's hair and said.
"Brother, I'm so old, and you still rub my hair. Let me take the baby and say it directly, don't rub my hair like this. Mo Changfeng knocked his hand away and said.
Beginning on April 1, Mo Changfeng led the villagers to start raising seedlings, sprinkling the grain seeds soaked the night before evenly onto the flat fields before covering them with a transparent film.
Because the temperature at this time is not high, especially at night, there will be some cold, in order for the grain to germinate, there must be a high temperature, so after covering the film, the temperature inside will always be kept high.
Mo Changfeng remembers that when he was a child, the village also built a greenhouse to raise seedlings, and all the seedlings of every household were put into a greenhouse, as if a fire was needed to raise the temperature in the greenhouse.
When the seedlings are raised and everyone goes in to find their own seedlings, it is full of heat, and the children like to run inside and play and laugh in the hazy water vapor.
Later, it may be that the seedling raising technology has advanced, and everyone began to raise seedlings in their own fields, which are also covered with film as they are now, forming small sheds.
Although Mo Changfeng had a way to directly promote the grain seeds into seedlings, he didn't do it, everything was still done according to the rules of this world, otherwise the people around him might not be able to accept it.
It takes three days to sprinkle all the grain seeds, support the shed, and then cover the film, about a few days later, the grain seeds will take root and sprout in it, and then more than ten days later, you can uncover the film and wait for the seedlings to grow freely, and wait for half a month, the seedlings can grow to more than 30 centimeters high, and then they can be planted in other fields.
Sprinkle grain seeds, support films, these work, do not need Mo Changfeng to do it himself, he just came to guide, the specific work is done by the villagers, everyone has done a lifetime of farm work, they all know what to do.
Before covering the film, Mo Changfeng asked the villagers to spray it with diluted nutrient water, and then when the seedlings grow, when the film is uncovered, they will spray the nutrient water again, and then they don't have to worry about it.
Of course, after the seedlings are planted, Mo Changfeng is also responsible for some management work, such as if the rice is insected or sick, he needs to be responsible for management.
At the same time, Mo Changfeng also needs to select large individual plants with full grains in the rice, and cultivate a batch of them for next year's seed production.
For Mo Changfeng, as long as he continues to cultivate like this, maybe in a few years, he may be able to cultivate spiritual rice in this world, which is the treasure that will benefit the entire empire and the entire human race.
Although the rice grown today is delicious and rich in various nutrients, the effect is too weak, and it must be eaten for a long time to have some effect, and it is not obvious.
If he cultivates real spiritual rice, he can not only improve the surrounding soil, but also really improve people's physique.
Of course, Mo Changfeng is also preparing to cultivate other spiritual fruit elixirs, and in the barren slope land he contracted, there are many kinds of elixirs planted, and he does not plan to do anything with them, but is going to keep planting them to see if he can cultivate them.
There are also those fruits behind his house, Mo Changfeng also pays attention to them often, he believes that with the long-term nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, some of them will definitely transform into spiritual fruits in a few years.
"This year, there are few people in the village who grow corn and red roots." That night, Wang Juhua said suddenly.
Since the Mo family began to plan to plant various fruits last year, the villagers have also replanned their mountain and woodland to plant a variety of fruits.
As a result, crops such as corn, wheat, sorghum, and red vetch are almost not planted in the traditional way, and some families plant some sporadically among the fruit trees.
Although these can be sold for money, they are not as profitable as growing fruits, and they don't have to work so hard, plus the county and town have also mobilized Youxian Village to engage in the fruit industry, so the villagers have responded.
"Mom, if you want to eat these things in the future, you can go to the surrounding villages to buy them, not to mention that you don't eat much." Mo Changfeng smiled and persuaded her.
However, this year, the Mo family planted more watermelons, a total of six or seven hundred plants were planted, all of which were planted between fruit trees, which did not affect the growth of fruit trees, because they have always been nourished by the aura of heaven and earth.
It can be said that now the land of the Mo family and the surrounding land are the places with the strongest aura of heaven and earth in the village, and the things planted on these lands, whether they are fruits or crops, will all be more nutritious and taste better.
On April 4, Mo Changfeng was idle, thinking that he would go to school tomorrow, he took the time to go fishing in Yulong Lake in the morning, and he hadn't come to fish for a long time, and many of the anglers around him didn't know him.
"...... Uproar"
In less than half an hour, Mo Changfeng caught a tarpon weighing six or seven catties, which caused a splash and attracted the attention of the people around him, and some people immediately recognized him.
"Wow, isn't this the god of fishing? I actually came to fish today. Someone exclaimed.
"What fishing god?" Someone asked the person next to him.
"It was the year before last when the Yulong Lake fishing competition was held, the person who caught a king fish, the leaders and anglers recognized him as the god of fishing."
"No wonder you can catch such a big tarpon, this technique is too good."
Mo Changfeng didn't pay attention to other people's discussions, but went back after fishing for more than an hour, but the harvest was not bad, in addition to the tarpon, he also caught more than ten crucian carp, some yellow and spicy dices and white strips, and also installed a few catties of river shrimp, just take it back for dinner wine.
"Dad, I have a lot of harvest today, you notify my father-in-law's family, as well as the second uncle's family, and the ninth uncle's family, and let them come over to eat fish at night."
For more than a month, thanks to the old mother-in-law, second aunt, and ninth aunt, they helped them take care of the baby, and they didn't want to pay them, so they had to buy some things for them.
There are a lot of fish caught today, so I called a few families over to eat fish and drink a few glasses all the time, and I thanked them well, and asked my father to inform him, because he is the head of the family, and he can show his attention when he comes forward to entertain guests.
"Okay, I'll call them right away." Mo Shifu was very happy to hear this, and felt that his son was very thoughtful, and the relationship between the families has always been very good, so he should have thanked everyone a long time ago.
By the time Mo Changfeng came back with the fish, Mo Shifu had already notified several families one by one, and the old mother-in-law, second aunt and ninth aunt all came to help, and the children of several families also came over to play.
"Here, let's have a snack." Zhou Wanrong was greeting the children, and took out all kinds of snacks that Mo Changfeng was going to give to Mo Changfeng, and the children listened to her more.
"Changfeng, how do you get these fish, let's help." The second aunt and the ninth aunt came over and asked.
"Then please trouble the second aunt and the ninth aunt to help clean up the fish first, and I'll get it later." This tarpon weighs nearly seven pounds, I plan to make a chopped pepper fish head and boiled fish fillet, crucian carp for yellow stew, yellow and spicy dices boiled in sauerkraut soup, small white strips and river shrimp fried together, and a few side dishes on the line. "Mo Changfeng thought about it when he came back, and arranged the practices of these fish one by one.
"Only the fish made by Changfeng is so delicious, and I will be blessed tonight." The second aunt said with a smile.
"Yes, Changfeng must have learned cooking skills outside, the chefs in our village are not as good as Changfeng, and our tastes are cultivated." Aunt Jiu also nodded.
"If you like to eat it, I'll often change the taste for everyone in the future." Mo Changfeng also has a sense of accomplishment, after all, the food he cooks is liked by others, which is the biggest compliment.
Subsequently, Mo Changfeng sorted the fish taken care of by the second aunt and the ninth aunt into different categories, sprinkled salt, poured half wine, and some also mixed some bean flour to make preparations.
At about five o'clock, everyone came over one after another, and the yard became more and more lively, because the four major families combined were about 20 people, not counting the two little guys Mo Mingrui and Mo Mingzhu, and Mo Changjin's son Mo Xingxing was only more than a year old, and his mother Zhao Xiaoqiong was usually fed.
With the help of the men, two large round tables were set up in the courtyard, each table could accommodate twelve or thirteen people, barely enough to sit the four families, and then everyone sat around drinking tea and chatting.
Mo Changfeng worked as a chef in the kitchen, and his mother, mother-in-law, second aunt, and ninth aunt worked beside him, helping to make side dishes such as ginger, garlic, green onions, and leeks.
"Nourishing ......"
The sound of oil pots sounded in the kitchen, and then began to waft a burst of aroma, so that the children ran to the kitchen door from time to time to look, swallowing saliva one by one.
Mo Changfeng's movements were quick, the big stove at home was used with the natural gas stove, and all kinds of dishes were quickly cooked, but they were not served first, but put them on the stove next to them in the tableware.
As the dishes came out of the pot, the fragrance emitted became more and more fragrant, and some children ran back and forth several times, and some were still asking at the door: "Uncle Changfeng (uncle), how long have you been able to eat?" ”
