After plowing the paddy field and resting for a day, Chengxin and Zhong Tao helped the old man get a seedbed again.

To grow rice in the village, you need to raise seedlings first.

First of all, you have to choose a paddy field that is relatively fertile and has been soaked in water all year round.

Then, in the paddy field, use the thin mud inside to build a cultivation bed a few centimeters high from the water surface and about one meter wide.

There is no limit to the length, it depends on how much land is planted, how many seedlings are needed to determine the length, or the number of culture beds.

In that paddy field that had not been ploughed, the two brothers and the old man built a total of four cultivation beds that were more than one meter wide and nearly four meters long.

Once it is done, use wooden clippers to smooth the surface and sprinkle a little farm manure.

This farmhouse manure is not pig dung or cow dung.

In the village, every family is fed chickens and ducks, and in the pen where the chickens and ducks are locked, everyone will spread a layer of plant ash, and then the chicken and duck poop locked in it will be mixed with these plant ashes.

The farmhouse fertilizer that Chengxin sprinkled was a mixture of plant ash and chicken and duck poop dug out of the circle.

After mixing with fresh plant ash from the stove, the farmhouse manure.

After sprinkling the farmhouse manure evenly, the group went home.

The next day, there was no accumulation of water on the entire cultivation bed, and the farmer's fat man was wet by the cultivation bed, so the old man and grandmother began to sprinkle rice seeds on it.

After all the cultivation beds are sprinkled with rice seeds, they are inserted on both sides of the cultivation beds with long bamboo strips at intervals of dozens of centimeters, making an arch about half a meter high.

Then cover with plastic film to form a small greenhouse, all around which is sealed without holes or gaps.

In this way, the preliminary work of seedling raising is completed, and after a few days, when the seedlings emerge, after a few centimeters of growth, the two ends of the small greenhouse can be uncovered.

Then, as the seedlings grow, the plastic film is completely uncovered on the feet.

However, this thing is not the same everywhere, some places can raise seedlings in dry land, some places directly sprinkle the field, and some seedlings are hot in late weather, and they don't need to cover the film, anyway, Chengxin They are doing this.

Before sowing, when Chengxin soaked the rice seeds in his grandmother, he added a little diluted spiritual liquid hidden in his pocket to the water while his grandmother was away, and he didn't know if it would improve the germination rate of the seeds and the taste in the future.

The rice seeds have been planted, but Chengxin has not been completely rested.

After planting these and resting for two days, Chengxin went to help the old man again, and the corn should also be seedled.

！

！ Some may ask, how do you plant everything and raise seedlings? We don't need to raise seedlings for this kind of corn, just throw seeds into the nest.

In fact, corn can also be without seedlings, but that is basically done in the north.

Nowadays, many people don't know how to rub the nutrition tank, just buy the plastic one, but after all, this is in the mountain village without roads, and it is not as cost-effective as rubbing the nutrition tank.

In the village, each family used to have very little land, so the utilization rate of each site was very high, and they were all planted in rows and nests, with two corn plants in each nest.

If you throw corn seeds directly into the nest, some will not germinate, and some will be large and small.

Therefore, in order to avoid two corn plants in a nest, so that the size is different or only one plant grows, it is necessary to rub the nutrient tank to raise seedlings.

In a vegetable patch, dig a rectangular cultivation bed with a depth of about ten centimeters, and as for the width and length, then there is no requirement.

After digging, dig some wet mud from the field and roll it into a round ball like a rice ball.

Of course, it can't be a ball, so at the top of the ball, press a hole of about one centimeter with your finger and place it next to each other in the culture bed.

When I was a child, I planted a lot of land, raised a lot of livestock, and had to rub two or three thousand nutrient jars, and a whole family had to rub it for half a day.

Don't be too much, there are two kinds of corn planted at that time, one is white waxy corn, which is mainly eaten by people, and this kind of corn has a good taste.

There is also a kind of yellow corn that feeds pigs and livestock, this corn is not glutinous, the taste is slightly sweet, southerners do not like to eat, but the yield is relatively high, and it is cost-effective to feed livestock.

So, at that time, most of the family's fields were planted with corn except for vegetable fields.

Speaking of which, I have to admire the utilization rate of land by these farmers in my hometown.

It turned out that when there were many people, the family was only more than two acres of land, and the paddy field and dry land were counted together. Of course, there are still some slopes or something.

When a wise farmer grows wheat or rape in winter, he does not plant all the fields to the fullest, but plants one vertical or one row at a time, leaving gaps in between.

When planting corn in early spring and March, corn can be planted in this gap, after all, corn planting should also leave a gap, right? This affects neither wheat nor corn.

By the end of April and the beginning of May, the corn was about as tall as the wheat, and the wheat was ready to be harvested.

This is not over, the wheat harvest is less than a month or so, and in late May or early June, sweet potatoes can be planted.

So, in this corn gap, you can plant sweet potatoes again.

When the corn is harvested, the sweet potatoes are also trying to absorb the sun, and then grow rapidly, and the yield will not be affected at all by the early corn.

When the sweet potatoes are harvested at the end of October, you can start planting wheat or rape in a circular way, and the land utilization rate has greatly increased.

This is also due to the fact that the weather in the south warms up early and cools down late, but it is also the reason why there is little land.

Back to the topic, several people rubbed nearly a thousand nutrient jars before stopping.

Then, throw two corn seeds that have been soaked in early sprouts into the nutrient tank, and finally, sprinkle a layer of sand without large particles, and then pour manure water on them.

Finally, the indispensable bamboo strips and plastic film are put on, so that it is basically done, and after a few days after the corn seedlings grow, the same will be slowly uncovered for him.

On the edge of the corn cultivation bed. There is also a small culture bed, which is also a nutrient tank, and there are three kinds of things planted in it.

What pumpkin, loofah, winter melon, but there are not many, only a few nests, after all, just eat yourself, and it is a waste to plant too much to eat.

This vegetable has also been planted, and the rice and corn have only been raised for a long time, so can we rest for a few days?

Hehe, I thought about it too much, and the ground for planting corn hadn't been dug yet, so in three days, the two brothers, the old man and Chengxin, began to dig and loosen the soil again.

After digging it with great difficulty, Chengxin is still not idle, it's time to plant vegetables.

In the next few days, on the first day, I carried a hoe to the vegetable field, and under the vegetable floor, four or five meters away from the soybeans, I made two rows of nests horizontally, a total of less than 30 nests.

It is also planted here so that the green beans and cowpeas will not be blocked by the sun and affect the growth of other vegetables after they grow up.

As for why there are still a few meters away from soybeans, this is reserved for planting corn later.

After laying the nest, Chengxin returned home, took out the cowpeas and green bean seeds that had been soaked in diluted spiritual liquid, and planted them all in the nest.

After planting, Chengxin went to the livestock pen below, picked out a handful of manure water, and poured a manure spoon next to the planted seeds.

This is not the end, just like planting rice, you have to put a plastic film on them, and when they grow more than ten centimeters, they can all be uncovered.

However, this time, you don't need to seal it all, you just need to press the clods on the edge of the film.

These two dishes are only a fraction of the vegetables that Chengxin has grown in the past few days.

For the next few days, what cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, carrots.

There are several kinds of peppers, such as big green peppers, two wattle strips, Chaotian peppers, millet spicy, and Chengxin have planted several litters.

In addition to large green peppers used for stir-frying, other kinds of peppers can be used for stir-frying or pickled peppers, each with its own flavor.

In fact, there are many kinds of vegetables that can be planted, but either there are no seedlings yet, or Chengxin does not want to plant them.

In this way, several days have passed, and Chengxin has only been given a few days of rest.
