Chapter 80 "Soil Method for Carbon"
Rice soaking seeds, not to put the seeds in water for a few days, but need to be soaked during the day, fished out at night, this complex soaking process, Jiang Yan is completely unable to do now, because tomorrow she will have to go far away.
This time to the fair, Jiang Yan may not be able to return home for several days in a row, and the maximum number of days to dry is two, and then the seeds need to be soaked, in this case, the cultivation of rice can only be delayed for a week.
In order to prevent the seeds from being unusable due to moisture, Jiang Yan poured out all the seeds and spread them on the kang, sorted the rice and wheat on both sides of the kang, and walked out of the door.
Jiang Yan didn't have anything specific to do today, thinking that the fish pond in the backyard should be prepared, Jiang Yan walked to the backyard and checked his fish pond.
Finding that there was no problem with the joint, Jiang Yan returned to the front yard and took out buckets, and poured buckets of water into the fish pond one after another.
Gao Chou on the side saw Jiang Yan's movements, and also followed the latter, picking up an empty bucket to carry water back and forth.
"Wow!"
When digging, Jiang Yan didn't feel how big this fish pond was, but when he poured water into it, Jiang Yan finally understood how good the fish pond he dug was, and his hand was full of buckets of water, and there was not much change when he fell down, which made Jiang Yan very helpless.
After working for a long time, Jiang Yan and the others finally filled the fish pond with water, looking at the clear pond in front of them, Jiang Yan walked to the front yard with a bucket.
Carrying the bucket, Jiang Yan filled a bucket full of yellow sand under Zhao Dabai's dissatisfied gaze, and then dumped it into the water under Gao Gao's gaze.
"What is this?"
Gao Chou on the side didn't understand what Jiang Yan was doing, looking at the confused Gao Chou on the side, Jiang Yan opened his mouth to explain that this was to filter the water quality.
Hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Gao Chou was half-understood, looking at Jiang Yan's insistent figure, Gao Chou put down the doubts in his heart and followed the latter to start moving sand.
The continuous transportation of sand gradually turned the originally towering sand pile into a shallow pool of yellow sand, which made Zhao Dabai's face on the side instantly gloomy, he thought that the owner was just using a little, but he didn't expect to move his entire bathhouse away.
"Don't be angry, I'll take you out tomorrow."
Looking at Zhao Dabai, who was sulking in the corner, Jiang Yan put down the bucket in his hand and spoke tiredly.
Hearing the word "go out", Zhao Dabai's ears in the corner suddenly pricked up, but his body remained motionless like a gambling child.
Zhao Dabai didn't know that his ears had exposed his inner thoughts, and Jiang Yan in the distance looked at Zhao Dabai's stubborn back, ignored it, and walked towards the house.
The most important thing in pond filtration is charcoal, but charcoal is not a thing ginger smoke is not reserved, and the process of making charcoal is still more complicated, in short, it is to make the firewood not burn sufficiently.
Taking out the wooden saw from the storage room, Jiang Yan pushed the cart out of the door, and Gao Chou on the side put on gloves and followed closely when he saw this scene.
Pushing the cart, Jiang Yan passed by Zhao Dabai on the side, and saw the latter's afterglow aimed at him, Jiang Yan let go of the cart and walked towards Zhao Dabai.
"Come with me and carry the tree."
Hearing the word lifting the tree, the lazy Zhao Dabai instantly retracted his gaze, and even moved his butt to the corner of the wall for two points, and the Jiang Yan standing on the side was all in her eyes, and she didn't want to say much when she was tired, so she turned her brain and opened her mouth to threaten.
"If you don't help this time, I won't take you when you go out tomorrow, so stay at home by yourself then."
Dropping a sentence lightly, Jiang Yan no longer paid attention to Zhao Dabai, who was still hesitating, turned around and pushed the small cart, and disappeared at the gate in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Jiang Yan disappear from sight, Zhao Dabai in the corner of the wall instantly panicked, hurriedly got up from the ground, and then chased Jiang Yan with all four feet.
Jiang Yan did not have wood at home that could make charcoal, and if he wanted to make charcoal in large quantities, he could only cut down the surrounding trees again, and when he stepped out of the house, Jiang Yan once again headed west.
If the village is compared to a long pocket, then the opening of this pocket is in the east, and the trees in the east want to keep it in its most primitive state as much as possible, so that if someone passes by, it will not find out that there are living people in the village because of the broken roots.
The western side is surrounded by a large area of farmland, and to the west of the farmland is a large area of uncultivated wasteland.
There are no roads in the west, and no one will pass through there, so the cautious Jiang Yan arranged this kind of transformation of the environment on the west side of the village.
Seeing a big tree, Jiang Yan and Gao Chou joined forces to cut it down, and then Jiang Yan cooperated with Zhao Dabai to transport the stout tree back to the farmhouse, leaving Gao Chou to continue cutting down the second big tree.
Previously, Jiang Yan did not expect that he would need wood so much that he did not cut down the trees before, but now Jiang Yan finally realized the importance of wood.
And this time, a large amount of felling is also because Gao Chou is about to leave, Jiang Yan wants to make full use of this convenient labor force before Gao Chou leaves, so this time, Jiang Yan is ready to cut down enough trees.
Unloading the big tree at the firewood pile in the farm, Jiang Yan took Zhao Dabai out again.
Pushing the cart, Jiang Yan saw Gao Chou waving the fire axe in his hand from a distance, and as Jiang Yan walked to his side, the big tree cut down by Gao Chou also fell to the ground.
"Bang dang!"
Pulling out the rope, Jiang Yan repeated the previous action again, tied one end of the trunk to the small cart, and then beckoned Zhao Dabai to move forward.
"How many are you chopping?"
Standing in place, panting Gao Chou asked loudly, after working for so long, Gao Chou's shirt was already wet with sweat, holding the small cart, Jiang Yan in the distance turned around, looked at the big tree in front of him, and then replied.
"One more!"
After working for a long time, the three stout trees were transported back to the farm by Jiang Yan and others, and with these three big trees, the next Jiang Yan will not need wood in a short time.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan returned to the storage room and walked out of the room with tools to break down wood.
"Come, cut down the tree."
Handing the handsaw in his hand to Gao Chou, Jiang Yan took a shovel and pushed the cart out of the gate.
The easiest way to burn paper charcoal is to burn charcoal in the earthen kiln, which is simply to fill the earthen kiln with wood, and then ignite it, and block all the air outlets when the fire is just right, so that the wood inside will form charcoal due to lack of oxygen.
Jiang Yan's home has an earthen kiln that meets the conditions, that is, the earthen stove that Jiang Yan uses for cooking, but after thinking about it, Jiang Yan does not plan to use this earthen stove to burn charcoal, one is because it often takes a day to burn charcoal, and the earthen stove is completely unusable during this time, and the second point is that Jiang Yan wants to build a second stove for himself.
