Chapter 246: I want to take advantage of everything
Except God knows how to raise earthworms, I'm afraid no one knows this secret!
With all the brushes, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Xuewei's face.
It's not that they think too much, it's that their brains are not as good as her!
Scratching her ears like she had a headache, Ding Xue asked tentatively: "What is the easiest environment to find it?" ”
"Where the humidity is heavy and the soil is relatively soft, of course, it can't be too damp, and when it rains, earthworms will also be blistered to death." Aunt Bai rushed to answer.
Xiao Boniang and the others, who didn't grab it, nodded.
"Then give them an environment like that." Ding Xue clenched her fists slightly.
What can come step by step, it is best to let people come step by step, she didn't say much, and artificial incubation can be done, can it be difficult to raise an earthworm?
After a burst of discussion, the crowd walked out of Xiao's house.
With everyone's high interest, Ding Xuewei almost couldn't hold back and held a earthworm breeding competition.
"Why are you so happy?"
As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Zhang Qi'er, who was carrying a bucket and preparing to carry water, saw her humming a little song and was a little curious.
Ding Xuewei asked the mother and daughter to wait, took her own keg, and she shared the joy with the Zhang family mother and daughter all the way.
Artificial incubation is a real thing to do, and there really is nothing surprising about raising earthworms.
"Earthworms can be raised, so isn't it easier to raise bamboo insects?" Big flowers are whimsical.
Aunt Zhang Qi'er and Ding Xue looked at her in unison.
Don't say it, it's a great idea!
"Well, I think, in terms of easy things, maggots may be the easiest." Ding Xue sneered.
These words directly disgusted the mother and daughter of the Zhang family.
"Don't look at you." Ding Xue was slightly angry: "I'm talking about meat maggots." ”
The mother and daughter gave her a look that only she dared to think.
"Fruit maggots are actually okay, rotten vegetable gangs or something should be okay, flies eat everything!"
"Mother, let's dig more earthworms and try it back." The large flower puts an end to the cultivation of maggots.
Aunt Zhang Qi'er also had this intention: "I'll go after dinner." ”
"I think..."
"Sister Xuewei, don't think about this." Big Flower interrupted her bitterly.
Ding Xuewei said innocently: To be honest, she really thinks maggots are the best to raise!
"I mean, there's no hurry to dig earthworms, I'll pick them up slowly when I go back, and now I should think about what earthworms eat, and the fields are all cleaned!"
"Aren't earthworms soil-eating?" Big flower is unexpected.
Ding Xuewei was speechless.
If it weren't for the rotten vegetable leaves she saw to feed the earthworms, she would also think that the earthworms eat soil!
Not long ago, Aunt Bai said that they often change soil... Who is the rumor that earthworms eat soil?
"There are more earthworms in the vegetable field than elsewhere, and this earthworm must like vegetables, or let's buy some vegetables to try it out?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Aunt Zhang Qi'er agreed: "However, you don't need to buy vegetables, in addition to the dense grass in your vegetable field, there are also a lot of wild vegetables. ”
"That's right, wild vegetables are also vegetables!" Ding Xuewei pretended to be surprised.
Speaking of things in the field, Aunt Zhang Qi'er gave advice: "The grass in your field should be pulled, if you don't pull it out, the roots will be deep." ”
"I was watered a few days ago, and the fields were rotten, and these two days should be just right, so Ming'er will let people do this." Ding Xue thought that it was appropriate for Ming'er to pull the weeds.
These days, I am very tired from cutting trees and digging rhizomes, so I just pulled the grass for a day to rest.
"The seedlings can be planted before they are small." Aunt Zhang Qi'er reminded: "Your rice seedlings are growing well, you should be able to plant a few more acres, and the rest of the seedlings, they have to move faster to plant." ”
"Plant as much as you can, and let them pile half of the grass and trees!" Ding Xue regretted slightly, she didn't want more people!
When raising seedlings before, in order not to make people suspicious, she not only raised rice seedlings, but also raised grass seedlings, all of which were planted according to the estimated 30 acres of fields.
The rice seedlings are growing very well, the grass seedlings are not bad, and the other seeds are also very good, and in the end, except for the peppers that have fixed the number of acres, all the others are planted with seedlings, and the paddy field is occupied by four acres more.
Nowadays, the speed of reclamation can be up to 20 acres when it is small.
There are nearly 60 acres of seedlings, but the number of fields that can be planted is far less than that!
"I'm afraid there won't be enough water this year!" A sentence of big flowers.
Aunt Zhang Qi'er, who was helping to figure out when she could invite someone a moment ago, was speechless.
Ding Xuewei was confident: "If you pull out the grass, let people make water wheels." ”
"What?" Big Flower didn't hear clearly.
"Waterwheel, simple waterwheel!" She was also helpless: "The carpenters in the city are scattered everywhere, and the ones everywhere are basically booked, so we don't want to use them this season!" ”
"I'm thinking about it these days, thinking about what I don't want for a long time, it's simple, they should be able to do it if they can cope with this season, go back and give it a try!"
If the problem of water is not solved, not to mention the newly added fields, even the seedlings that were expected to be dangerous before!
"I don't know if these people have seen it, I see, you call the village chief and Uncle Xu better, the two of them are doing quite well!" Aunt Zhang Qi'er is more confident in her own people.
Peasant men, although not carpenters, but in the matter of dealing with wood, everyone has their own set of methods.
When pulling the grass the next day, Ding Xue asked slightly, and many people immediately agreed, and in the afternoon, she called the village chief and Grandpa Xu.
After not paying attention to the long-term aspect of durability, the waterwheel is still quite easy to make, and in the case of wanting to get water quickly, manpower is more suitable.
Five days later, a light and simple waterwheel made of bamboo and wood was completed, and in the next few days, the progress was much faster, and when the rice planting began, Ding Xuewei, Ding family and the villagers had already erected many small waterwheels on the edge of the fields.
The rice planting has to be soaked in water, and the water in the village is not enough this season, and the new land reclaimed by the Ding family makes the water even more anxious.
Naturally, after confirming that the simple waterwheel could be used, the old man and the village chief took out a lot of people to make the waterwheel.
"Mother, we really don't have to do it?"
Xiao Li, who came back from Zhuan Tian, was a little entangled.
Lee, who was sewing the insoles slowly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.
"If you want to do it, let your father assign you people, I'll just do it, I don't do it, I have nothing to do with wasting this money, and it's not that I have nowhere to spend it."
"Mother, the second sister-in-law has a lot of money, so I have to complain about you later!" Wang's yin and yang are weird.
Li Shi stared at her in a blink of an eye, and said before Xiao Li explained: "It's up to you, it's not a question of whether you have more money, the question is whether you want to." ”
"I listen to my mother." Xiao Li changed his words.
She has always been active in the matter of patting her mother-in-law's ass, and when she comes again, Ding Xuewei, her family, and even the people in the village have more or less prepared waterwheels, since they have waterwheels, then draw water, and the water stored in the pond by the spring should naturally be used by those who don't have waterwheels.
A roar every day, begging for tickets, asking for collections...
