Chapter 373: Crops and flowers depend on fertilizer
With Gao Mingcheng's physical fitness, harvesting an acre of rice, that is, drizzle, was easily finished, he borrowed someone else's threshing machine, threshed the rice in the field, and then packed it in a snakeskin bag.
His yard is very spacious, so he doesn't need to go to the drying field with others, and he returns home with rice.
The concrete floor of the yard is clean, which is swept by many beauties in advance, and even the chickens are kept out to prevent them from running around, otherwise it will not be good to pull the chicken manure into the rice.
The golden rice is poured on the concrete floor, and then spread out with special farm tools, these rice are shining in the sun, glowing with gold, which is particularly beautiful.
Grandma Xi's rice is a hybrid rice promoted by the government today, and the yield is much higher than that of the old rice varieties in the past.
In the seventies, the yield of rice per mu was only about 500 catties, but now with the use of hybrid rice, the yield per mu has increased to more than 800 catties, and some carefully served fields can yield nearly 1,000 catties per mu.
People can gradually live a good life without lack of food and clothing, which is related to the overall economic improvement of the country, and even more related to Yuan Longping.
Gao Mingcheng has been in the county for a long time, and the rice in the field is a little negligent in management, and when he carried the burden, he estimated the weight and felt that it was about 800 catties.
Rao is like this, and he can be regarded as satisfied.
After spreading out the rice and drying it, he went to the corner to dig up the compost, which was used to sprinkle the manure into the paddy field when ploughing.
When it came time to use fertilizer, Gao Mingcheng felt that he was overstretched, because there were no pigs and cattle at home, and few people lived in the village, so the amount of farm fertilizer was too small, but there were many places where he needed to use fertilizer.
In addition to the crops in the fields, the orchards on Xiaofu Mountain also need to be fertilized regularly so that the fruit trees can thrive.
Gotta buy fat!
And it has to be farmhouse fertilizer.
Chemical fertilizer can be properly used with farm fertilizer, but you can't always use chemical fertilizer, not to mention the problem of land compaction, just talk about the taste, the vegetables and fruits grown with farm fertilizer are much better than the use of chemical fertilizer.
Where to buy farm manure? There are no large-scale farms in the village, and under normal circumstances, the manure piled up by the family is only enough for their own use, and there is no surplus to sell to others.
Gao Mingcheng frowned, thinking about asking the people who raised a lot of pigs in the village.
He was about to walk out when he heard many beauties shouting, "Where are you going?" I just opened a watermelon, but it's sweet, come and eat it. ”
As soon as he heard that the watermelon was open, Gao Mingcheng couldn't care about going out, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen.
On the table, there were indeed cut watermelons, and many beauties were sitting on stools, about to dig half of the watermelons with porcelain spoons and eat them. As for the other half of the watermelon, it is cut into five pieces.
This is the case when the family population is small, and eating watermelon can be very heroic.
Gao Mingcheng picked up a watermelon and began to nibble on it, he gnawed it quickly, and even the juice didn't flow down.
"Sweet! Refreshing! I forgot to go to the watermelon patch. ”
"Hey, I went to see it, the watermelons are fine, and some of the pear melons are too old. I told my brother last time that if we weren't at home and some of the vegetables in the field were going to get old, we would let them pick them up and eat them, but he wouldn't. Duomei said with a smile, and pointed to the several pears and melons in the basin, which were indeed ripe and the skin was white.
"How many watermelons are ripe in the field?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
"There have to be five or six, and the rest is coming soon. This year, you pinched some small watermelons, and the rest of them all grew very big, but there were also a few watermelons that were eaten by something. The top looks good, but when you open it, the bottom is empty! "A lot of beautiful voices are a little angry, but this is something that can't be helped.
There are a lot of animals that eat watermelons, dog badgers, pig badgers and so on, but here, if the melons and fruits are stolen and eaten, nine times out of ten they are done by mice.
Well, it's that unremarkable!
After eating the watermelon, Gao Mingcheng still went out, he was going to pick up the straw left in the field, and then it was time to load the tractor with the tools for plowing the field and start plowing the field.
A few days have passed, and under the scorching sun, the villagers of Gaojia Village are sweating like rain, busy with the most important farm work of the year.
After the double robbery every year, people can lose a few pounds.
This year, the weather was beautiful, and it was sunny all the time before and after the rice was ripe, so there was no damage to the rice, and it was not until the end of the transplanting that there was a shower.
The rain showers came so coincidentally that the villagers praised them, and they were particularly satisfied with the good weather this year.
They are looking forward to a good harvest and a good year, but at the same time they are afraid of drought.
In the second half of previous years, there will be some droughts, and last year's drought was the most severe, which also made everyone secretly worried.
However, Gao Mingcheng is not worried, because he knows that the weather is good this year, and there will not be such a severe drought in recent years.
As for the slight drought, it is normal because they are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no big river in the whole county, so when the rainfall is low in the second half of the year, it will naturally become dry.
The water in the reservoir will dwindle rapidly, leaving only a shallow bottom to be refilled after the next year's rains.
Taking advantage of the rain, everyone was idle, Gao Mingcheng went to the old village.
First, he found the person who asked him for the queen bee last time.
The man's name is Gao Zhijun, and his house is a two-bedroom house, so the location is more partial, not crowded with other houses, but backed by the back mountain.
Because of this, they raise more pigs, and they make a lot of money selling pigs every year.
"Zhijun, you asked me for the queen bee last time, I have already divided the boxes, and I will send it to you in two days." Gao Mingcheng familiarly entered the courtyard of their house and found Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun was chopping pigweed, and there was a large iron pot on the stove next to him, in which pig food was boiling.
Pigs eat a lot of food, and if you raise a lot of pigs, you have to often pull pigweed, chop pigweed and boil pigweed. It's also quite tiring, and if you don't feed it, the pigs will grow slowly.
"Ouch, thank you." When Gao Zhijun heard that there was a queen bee, he immediately smiled. It's just that the next second I was a little embarrassed to ask how much it cost.
Gao Mingcheng said happily: "Don't mention the matter of money or money, this bee will be given to you to raise first, see if you can raise it, if you can raise it, you can give me two catties of honey afterwards." ”
"Hey, this one! I'll give you two catties of honey when the time comes. Gao Zhijun nodded happily in agreement.
After talking about the bees, Gao Mingcheng asked again: "Your family raises so many pigs every year, can the pig manure be used up?" ”
Gao Zhijun said: "My parents have reclaimed a lot of wasteland, so they can also use it up. ”
When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he felt a little useless, but he still said: "When I wait until autumn, I want a batch of fertilizer in my orchard, do you see how much your family can sell to me?" ”
As soon as he heard this word, Gao Zhijun hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, if there is more, I will sell it to you." ”
Gao Mingcheng not only said this to Gao Zhijun, but also told other people in the village who raised a lot of pigs, and these people were willing to do business with Gao Mingcheng, and they all said that they would definitely sell it to him.
Autumn fertilization is very important for the orchard, which is related to the germination of fruit trees next spring, the sooner or later and how much, the expansion of fruits and a series of matters related to the vital interests of fruit farmers.
Therefore, autumn fertilization is more important than spring fertilization, and it is the largest amount of fertilizer and the most comprehensive nutrient in the whole year.
