234: Clearing land for wasteland
The workshop was inseparable, and Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi couldn't stay idle, so the group hurried to the village after breakfast on the second day.
After returning to the village, Mo Ziyun made Han Chunlin's class plan, and when she made Han Chunlin's class plan, the village school also began to be built and built.
Not only has the school started, but the wasteland in Cuilong Mountain bought by the Mo family is also ready to invite someone to open up the wasteland.
Before clearing the wasteland, Mo Ziyun asked again, "Grandpa, have you thought about what to plant?"
Mo Tingyu wanted to plant red lotus at first, and when the red lotus was planted, not only could the red lotus powder be milled, but the red lotus vine and the red lotus residue could be fed to the pigs, but when he thought that the red lotus consumed a lot of fertility, he temporarily dispelled this idea.
Don't plant red roots, just think about planting corn, corn is not as fertile as red roots, not only planting corn, but also saving Mo Tingyu did not see needles in the corn field because there was more land at home, or as usual, planning to plant some soybeans in the corn field, otherwise the rows of empty rows, the waves are very.
I also have to plant some sunflower seeds for the baby, and then fry it for the baby as a snack, and the sesame seeds have to be planted.
After Mo Ziyun listened to Mo Tingyu's thoughts, he overturned all his grandfather's thoughts in one sentence, "Grandpa, anyway, the fertilizer in the field is not enough, although planting corn and soybeans does not consume much fertilizer, after all, it still consumes fertilizer, since you want to cultivate more land, it is better not to plant anything now, so as not to spend time and effort to plant the harvest, and the fertilizer in the field has to be consumed, and it is slow to raise, temporarily all of them are planted into Yunying grass, and Yunying grass can fertilize the land."
"What? Planting grass?" Mo Tingyu thought he hadn't heard clearly, what were you doing planting grass? He only listened to planting grass, and he didn't hear anything about planting grass and fertilizing the land.
"Milk vetch, it's jade grass." After Mo Ziyun finished answering, she said slowly, "Grandpa, Yunying grass is also medicine, and it can also be fed to pigs, the most important thing is that Yunying grass not only does not consume the fertilizer in the field, but also makes the land more fertile, and when the Yunying grass is planted this time, and then plant wheat, even if we chase less fertilizer, it will definitely be enough for wheat to grow."
Milk vetch is an annual grass and tree, which can stimulate soil nitrogen after withering and rotting, thus playing a role in fertilizing the land, which is still mentioned casually by the teacher in middle school biology class.
Mo Ziyun was very surprised to remember the things that she had forgotten in the morning, and now she can think of it, which is probably the subconscious effect of people. Although she said it accurately, it was obvious that Mo Tingyu didn't believe it at all, "I've never heard that Yunying grass can fertilize the land?"
Mo Ziyun had already thought about how to convince his grandfather, "Grandpa, think about it, where there is Yunying grass, does it grow luxuriantly every year? Besides, there must be nothing wrong with what is written in the book." Although my grandmother is illiterate, let alone can read, she is absolutely obsessed with books, and what is said in the book is good, reasonable, and right.
"It's written in the book, too?" Mo Tingyu asked again.
"Hmm." Mo Ziyun nodded, "It is written in the book that the roots of Yunying grass can change the soil quality and make the land more fertile after rotting in the ground."
"When the Yunying grass grows well, grandpa is reluctant to cut it to feed the pigs, let's let it grow all the time, and when it bears seeds, all the seeds can be sold to Uncle Liu to make money, or keep the seeds, and when we want to fertilize the land again in the future, we will plant it again."
"I think you just want to use all the land for medicine!" Mo Tingyu didn't believe a lot of what she said earlier, she only felt that what she said later was her purpose.
Mo Ziyun felt that he was really wronged by his grandfather!
Heaven and earth conscience, what I said is true, but after thinking about it carefully, if the price of milk vetch seeds is good, there is nothing wrong with planting a season of milk vetch every year in the future.
Thinking about it this way, I really don't blame grandpa for thinking about himself like this!
But the problem now is a crisis of trust, how to make grandpa believe that he will plant milk vetch first to change the soil quality?
After thinking about it, the easy way to use it has always been coquettish! Because the explanation or something, it's not very convincing! Only when the milk vetch is harvested and then planted his favorite crops, seeing that the crops are growing, he can naturally understand that what he said is not half a lie, and he has not lied to him.
"Grandpa doesn't believe me?" Mo Ziyun pursed her mouth and said coquettishly.
Looking at her granddaughter's grievances, Mo Tingyu hurriedly explained, "Grandpa didn't disbelieve you, it's just that it's a pity that such a large piece of land is used to grow grass."
"It's not grass! It's medicine, it can be sold for money, and it can be fed to pigs!" Mo Ziyun replied stubbornly.
"Why didn't I see you pull Yunying grass to sell it before?"
"It's not about pulling grass to sell, the seeds of Yunying grass are medicine." At this time, Mo Ziyun was ready to make a big move, "There are so many Yunying grass seeds, I can't finish picking them?" Besides, you don't worry about me going out alone, why should I pick it?" The mouth is even more deflated.
As long as Mo Tingyu asked one more question, Mo Ziyun was ready to sprinkle a few crocodile tears.
But before the tears fell, Song Nanzhi walked in with a bowl, "Wanyun, come and drink this bowl of chicken soup, your sister Yulian has already given you cold!"
Mo Ziyun felt that she was being raised as a pig, three meals a day, and she would always add a meal to herself in the second half of the night, and today she stewed chicken at home, and after stewing it early, she put a bowl out to dry and add food to herself, and put the meal aside first, and the business was important, "Grandma, grandpa doesn't believe me?"
Song Nanzhi glared at Mo Tingyu, "What's the matter? Why don't you believe what you say?"
"I didn't say I didn't believe her, we didn't say it was good before, the land in Cuilong Mountain, twenty acres of medicine, and the rest are used to grow food, but now she said that all the rest are planted with Yunying grass to raise the land."
Song Nanzhi had never heard of planting grass and cultivating land, so he looked at Mo Ziyun, "Yunyun, this Yunying grass is a wild grass, and the wild grass is a wasteland."
Mo Ziyun explained again: "Grandma, it is written in the medical books that Yunying grass is medicine, and the fruits can be used as medicine, and after receiving the medicine, they directly turn the Yunying grass into the ground, and when they cover it in the ground, there will be fertilizer in the ground, which is easier than pouring dung into the ground."
"If you don't want to buy medicine, wait for the Yunying grass to sprout and grow and cut it directly to feed the pigs, and then find someone to turn the ground after feeding it for a while, so that it will not affect the planting of crops."
This method is okay, anyway, now that it is cleaned up, it is still cold, and it is not possible to grow crops for the time being. So in the end, according to what she said, plant Yunying grass first, and when it grows, it will be cut to feed the pigs, and it will be almost warm when it is fed.
So, the Mo family invited someone to help, and when the weather was still cold and it was not yet time for the farm, they cleaned up the land, and waited until the weather was warm to catch up with the crops.
Sixty-three acres of land, the original plan was to take twenty acres to plant medicinal herbs for the babies, and there were still forty acres of land left, thinking that the fertility in the field was not enough, and I planned to plant some crops that were not very fertilizing, but now they have all changed, and I don't know if this Yunying grass really wants to fertilize the land as Wan Wan said.
If we can really fertilize the land, then we will all grow wheat. This large area has been planted into wheat, and the family has to harvest a lot of wheat, as soon as he thinks of the harvest, Mo Tingyu grinned unconsciously, and then the family will have to build a granary to hold so much grain.
After half a month of wasteland, sixty-three acres of land were finally cleaned up, and the stones and trees in the field were all cleaned up, not to mention, in order to go into the field to plant or harvest, the cleared stones were directly paved in the middle of the ground, and two paths were paved out.
Not only did they pave two roads out, but they also dug a trench in the middle and dug them all the way to the edge of the ground, so that the rainwater in the fields could be kept outside, so that the crops would not be flooded when the rain was too much.
After the wasteland is cleared, it is ready to sprinkle the seeds of the cloudy grass. This matter is indispensable, Murong Qingyuan, who first brought it up and wanted to plant medicine.
When cleaning up the wasteland, Murong Qingyuan went to Liu Yuan again, wanting to ask him to help buy seeds for medicinal materials, the original plan was to plant Panax notoginseng, astragalus, and angelica first, and this will have to add milk vetch, and the seeds of milk vetch are also bought.
Fortunately, it is not a valuable medicinal material, and it is very close to Beijing, so whether it is a medicinal material such as notoginseng or milk vetch, it is very smooth to buy.
It will be easier for a smart person to do anything, and Murong Qingyuan can definitely be regarded as a smart person.
He doesn't know how to grow medicinal herbs, it doesn't matter, it's good if someone can plant them, so when Liu Yuan helped him find someone to buy seeds, he took the opportunity to ask about the planting method of medicinal herbs.
With Liu Yuan's introduction, plus the price, Murong Qingyuan did not suppress the price, he said as much as he wanted, and his attitude was very respectful, and Liu Yuan helped him speak from the side, saying that he was a baby at home, and he couldn't plant crops, and he relied on digging some medicine to sell it before, and now he has to study, and he doesn't have time to dig medicinal materials in the mountains to sell, so he wants to grow some medicinal materials to sell.
As soon as he said this, he was only going to say two copies, but in the end, he said all of them, and he had a good memory, so he borrowed Liu Yuan's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write as soon as he sent people away.
If the seed seller knew that he could write down all his words, he probably wouldn't have said so completely!
Liu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "Your master is very open-minded!"
Murong Qingyuan smiled, "It's all up to Uncle Liu to help, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to say so much to me."
"It's good if you know, don't forget me after planting medicine in the future!"
"Definitely not, in the future, all the medicines I grow will be sent to you, Uncle Liu, give you the lowest price!"
If you have a way to plant, you will wait for the planting after the wasteland is cleared.
Since it is fertile land, sixty-three acres of land, it is not divided into medicine or food, and it is planted with milk vetch first. Before planting, Murong Qingyuan soaked the seeds of milk vetch for two days according to the planting method he remembered, and waited for the seeds to sprout early after absorbing enough water.
Fortunately, there is no need to turn the ground when planting, although there is more ground, but they also sprinkle seeds into the ground, so Mo Tingyu didn't ask anyone to help, and together with Qiao Yulian's father, the three of them finished sowing seeds after two days.
