Hearing Wang Manyin's analysis, Liu Xiangyang immediately spoke: "I remember, some educated youths have said privately that ammonia is very dangerous. Last year, a member of Liujiawan did not operate the ammonia properly, and finally vomited blood and died...... There was also a man whose eyes were blinded. This thing is so toxic that most people don't know how to operate it, so it's easy to have problems."

"Well, I also asked about something. Someone was stung by a scorpion on his finger, and when he heard that ammonia could detoxify, he found an inkwell and filled half a bottle, and then put his finger in it to soak. After half a day, my finger turned black and I was finally sent to the hospital for a section." Wang Yanqiang said.

After hearing this, Wang Lianshun shook his head again and again: "It's so dangerous, forget it."

Of course, the reason why everyone vetoed ammonia so quickly was that they couldn't find a way to buy it, and no matter how much they said, it was nonsense.

After a pause, Wang Lianshun said again: "People in Liujiawan also silt the dam and repair the terraces, to be honest, if we can really completely get the more than 100 acres of cliffs and ditches in Dongshan Pass, I am confident that the second team will no longer receive the returned grain, and the members of the club will be able to eat corn nests all of a sudden."

Wang Lianshun didn't dare to think too much...... In his opinion, being able to eat corn nests is already remarkable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yanqiang retorted: "The key is to increase grain production, we can only get 360 catties at most, so it is better to continue to receive grain for sale."

Wang Manyin also nodded, this is the problem.

In fact, the standards for grain delivery are not uniform in various places, and specific to the jar village, not only the public grain must be paid, but also the surplus grain must be paid. In short, three hundred and six are at the top.

However, in the high-yield grain areas in the south, the members can distribute 420 catties of grain every year. It can even reach up to 450 catties...... There are very few existences like this.

Another point is that it is not up to the production team to decide what crops to grow in the field.

For example, peanuts and soybeans are planted in a large area in Liujiawan, and fruit trees are planted on the hillside, which is unlikely in Jarzi Village. They all knew that there was an incident in the neighboring commune last year, when a production team secretly planted some cotton seedlings, only to be found and pulled out.

Now the Shibi Festival not only has regulations on what crops to plant in the collective fields, but also begins to manage the self-reserved land.

At the previous time, Zhao Jianhai also emphasized that members are not allowed to eat more than anything that can be sold for money, as long as they can eat for themselves.

In particular, the four crops such as yellow smoke, peppers, green onions, and garlic are the focus. Zhao Jianhai specially led people to measure and inspect the land reserved by each family, and all those who did not meet the requirements were cut down.

The second team is very lucky to have more than ten acres of paddy fields, on the one hand, it is related to the promotion of new bacterial fertilizers, and on the other hand, it is the support of Tian Fujun.

This is also the reason why Wang Yanqiang and Wang Fugui are depressed, and they don't know how to use it if they want to.

"Man Yin, we've just said so much, what do you think? Tell you about it too."

"Yes, we're all our own people, don't hide it."

The rest of the people urged.

They mentioned ammonia just now, and Wang Manyin was able to immediately tell what they knew. In addition, he has been suggesting that a few people go to Liujiawan to visit and study, which shows that he has already had ideas before.

"Let me ask you, is it the sorghum flour black nest that is delicious, or the white flour rice that is delicious?" ….

"Aren't you talking nonsense, didn't Wang Qingming say a long time ago, 'It's hard to swallow the chaff when it is pinched into an ingot.' The rice and white flour are kneaded into a donkey wedge, and they are still delicious."

"That's right, the rice in our team has been harvested, can we let the members eat a few more meals of rice? Do the rest of the commune like to eat it too?"

Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Just thinking about the difficulties, I forgot about this stubble. More than a dozen acres of paddy fields in Dongshan Pass can be regarded as a model, and the planting area can be expanded through silt dams.

Although the time has come to harvest the rice and have to be handed over to the public grain, each family will definitely be able to share some of it.

Wang Manyin didn't finish his words, but they understood the meaning.

If a member is reluctant to eat the rice, he or she can quietly replace the fine grain with coarse grain. Wheat on the Loess Plateau is expensive, and one catty can be exchanged for three or four catties of dried sweet potatoes or sorghum.

Rice is a new thing, and it should be about the same

Much more at this price.

According to the calculation of ten catties of rice for one person, it is equivalent to an extra thirty or forty catties of coarse grain.

That's a lot of numbers...... This spring, the grain for resale was distributed, and only one person in the second team received twenty-eight and a half pounds.

If we grow more rice, we may be able to fill our stomachs.

"Full silver, it's still your brain, and you can count the food clearly."

"I feel a lot better when I say that. At least our hard work for two months was not in vain."

"Yes, and our fish ponds, each family can have two in the winter."

……

For a while, Wang Lianshun's faces were much more relaxed.

In the past, they only considered the total amount of grain, but forgot to change the coarse to the fine...... The main second team has too little wheat, and they have to keep it to entertain guests.

Liu Xiangyang also admired a little, this is the big brother Wang he knows. A lot of things that seem ordinary will suddenly become different when you think about it.

Wang Manyin was a little helpless in his heart, making a fuss about food, he could only think of this for the time being, and he couldn't play more tricks.

Unless you steal your property for personal gain, but this one is wrong.

After everyone calmed down, he continued to speak, "Actually, in addition to planting rice in the silt dam, we can also make use of the entire Dongshan Pass. There are many ditches and valleys, and the plot belonging to our second team can have three or four hundred acres, right?"

"Almost, this amount." Wang Fugui serves as an accountant, and of course he is very clear about the accounts of the team.

According to the results of the original detachment of Jar Village, the entire Dongshan Pass was owned by the second team. It's just that the terrain here is steep, and there is no way to even repair the terraces, let alone grow crops.

Of course, now everyone has a new choice, that is, to block the cliff ditch silt dam.

At this time, Wang Lianshun took over the conversation and said, "Man Yin, of course we know that the silt dam is good, and the key is too laborious. The terrain at the exit of Dongshan Pass is slightly better, and we have already finished repairing it. In other places, the steep gullies and the floods are rapid, and it takes a lot of effort to silt the dams."

"Uncle Lian Shun, don't worry. We can take our time at the silt dam, but we can plant other things in the gully while we are doing it now." Wang Manyin said with a smile.

"You mean planting caramel sticks and fruit trees?" Wang Fugui immediately remembered the situation on Liujiawan Mountain, and then shook his head, "It's okay to plant lemon sticks, but I'm afraid fruit trees are not allowed." The key caragana seeds are only a few cents a pound, and the branches are thorny, and it is hard work to pinch the caragana shells. When you come back, you have to beat the seeds out and dry them...... With this effort, we might as well have a silt dam." ….

"That is, Liu Jiawan can grow so many caragana, mainly rewards, a pound of caragana seeds and a pound of corn. I've specifically inquired, but other villages don't have this condition for selling caragana seeds."

Interrupted twice in a row, Wang Manyin said speechlessly: "Is it good for you to listen to me say it well. Planting caragana is not only for the sake of collecting and selling the seeds, but also to conserve the soil and water. If one or two hundred acres of caramel are really planted, the families of the second team should not be short of firewood, right?"

"That's the truth, and the sheep in the team have a place to put them." Wang Yanqiang nodded.

"Besides, if you plant caramel on the cliffside, you can plant alfalfa in the ditch...... Planting dozens of acres of this thing, our second team can collectively raise more sheep. Before, it was free-range, and the grass in the ditch was gnawed clean as soon as it came out. We have alfalfa fields, and it should be no problem to raise thirty or fifty more. In this way, you can kill a few for the New Year, so that everyone can eat a few catties of mutton. In addition, each family also has a place to shoot pigweed, and they will definitely actively raise pigs."

That's right, engage in breeding.

This is the only feasible method for Wang Manyin to think about it for a long time. As for letting the members of the second team go out to do a side hustle or something, it depends on the specific wind direction and situation.

It is amazing to say that there are difficulties in individual breeding, but village collective breeding is vigorously advocated. For example, when raising pigs, the slogan of the commune is "one pig per person, one pig per acre".

If it can be done, it will be very beneficial to farmers. The most obvious is that there is no shortage of soil manure in the field, and crop yields can also be increased.

But again, there are some practical situations to consider.

People

It's not that I don't know that pigs are good, what do key pigs eat? This thing belongs to the stomach of, just eating grass does not fat, no matter how big it is, it is a shelf, and it must be fed with grain and feed.

Every family had that little land for themselves, hoping to get more rations. If they were all used to feed pigs, what would people eat?

Alfalfa grass was known as the "king of pastures" by many people in later generations, and it is very nutritious and enjoyed by all kinds of livestock. If it is used to feed pigs, it can replace at least part of the feed.

This plant grows quickly, and will continue to germinate after one stubble, and can cut three or four stubbles a year, and can be harvested for several years in a row.

As for feeding sheep, you don't need to feed other feeds.

Of course, you can't feed alfalfa completely, and you also need to mix some hay, otherwise the sheep's belly is easy to swell.

"Grow alfalfa and raise sheep, you can try. Let's not move the original cultivated land, and plant alfalfa in these cliffs and ditches in the east mountains. Even if there is no harvest, it will only take a little labor." After Wang Lianshun nodded, he turned his head and said, "Fugui, this is a wasteland, how much can the second team plant?"

The Shibijie Commune has a rule that the self-reserved land, fodder land, and wasteland of each production team cannot exceed 15% of the cultivated area.

"It's okay, this ditch is full of twists and turns, even if the gods come, they can't calculate the exact area." Wang Fugui came to say.

Seeing that everyone had discussed, Liu Xiangyang was puzzled and said, "Since you can raise sheep collectively, why can't you collectively run a pig farm?"

"A few years ago, the Shibi Festival let the collective raise pigs, but in the end it didn't work. One reason is the lack of feed, and the other is that it is easy to get sick when you get together. I can't help it, so I let someone raise it."

Wang Manyin naturally had memories of this, so he answered the question out loud. ….

In this era, pig epidemic prevention has always been a big problem, and once swine fever occurs, a large number of people may die in just a few days. However, each family is scattered and raised alone, and the probability of problems is relatively small.

Of course, Wang Manyin still has a heartbeat about earthworm pig raising and wants to see the effect of other people's feeding. If the effect is good, it is estimated that the second team will not worry about the pig task in the future.

A few people sat on the clay kang and talked until it was more than 11 o'clock in the evening before they decided what the second team should do in the future.

On the way home, Wang Manyin stepped on the moonlight, and his heart was a little confused. No matter what, I can do what I can.

All in all, the life of the second team is getting better little by little.

At this time, the people in the village had already slept, and there was silence all around.

Wang Manyin walked all the way, except for occasionally attracting a few dog barks, but if there were summer insects around him.

"Goo-meow......

As he approached the village, a hurried voice suddenly sounded overhead.

He hurriedly looked up and saw a black shadow flash from the night sky and disappear into the ravine on the opposite bank in an instant.

Nima, it turned out to be an owl.

Wang Manyin wasn't really afraid of this thing, the key was that his voice was too sudden just now, and his voice was very sharp, a bit like someone laughing, and it sounded particularly infiltrating.

But when he saw the owl, he remembered that there was an injured peregrine falcon in the space. I was busy catching scorpions during the day and forgot all about it.

Thinking of this, Wang Manyin stepped down the dirt road, looked at the surrounding night, and dodged into it.

Inside the space, it's still gray and misty.

As in the outside world, there was silence, except for the sound of frogs chirping from the reeds.

He didn't have time to pay attention to these noisy creatures, so he hurried over to the stone table and pulled out his scythe. In just two or three minutes, he cut a few sheaves of grass and threw them into several pits to feed the hares and pheasants.

Then, he walked towards the wicker cage.

It seems that the sound of footsteps is heard, and there is an immediate fluttering sound inside.

This surprised him a little more, the peregrine falcon actually came to life.

I went to the cage and looked, and sure enough.

However, the guy still looked very weak, and when he saw the humans approaching, he immediately dodged into the corner with difficulty. The whole process looked weak, without the momentum of an air overlord.

More than a dozen grasshoppers that had been placed in the cage were gone, and a lot of water in the jar was drunk.

If you know how to eat, you should be able to live.

Wang Manyin was just about to catch some more grasshoppers and throw them in, when he suddenly recalled what he had read on the Internet, this kind of guy can not only catch prey on land, but also seem to eat fish.

After thinking about it, he simply caught a few loaches from the nearby pond and put them in the cage.

After staring for a moment, seeing that this guy showed no signs of eating, Wang Manyin simply didn't exist and flashed out of the space.

There are still dozens of meters from the door of the house, and the sound of rhubarb is heard.

Immediately, a black shadow hurried forward, wagging its tail vigorously.

Immediately after, two cats also caught up.

The smell of the treat of the hosts was very familiar to several guys.

Seeing that the lights were still on in his cave, Wang Manyin went to the door and shouted softly.

As soon as she shouted twice, Orchid opened the door.

"You haven't slept yet?"

Entering the cave, Wang Manyin found that there was a homework book on the kang, which should be that his aunt was studying just now.

"Well, I can't sleep, I'm waiting for you,"

Orchid responded, and Lisuo put the kang away.

When the man was lying on the kang, she leaned her head over. With her arms pillowing like this, there was an indescribable sense of security, and Orchid soon began to snort softly.
