Sitting on the back of the ox, Qin Yu greeted the neighbors who came and went, and suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance, he followed the sound and looked over, and saw that it was a little girl in her teens, running towards him quickly, and waving at him, asking him to wait.

It's Luo Gu, the little girl in one of their families surnamed Gu.

Qin Yu waited for her to run closer, and asked her curiously: "Sister Gu family, is there anything wrong with you calling me?" ”

Luo Gu stopped and gasped fiercely, and when she heard Qin Yu ask her, her blushing little face seemed to be even redder, and she asked, "Yu, I have sent some bean sprouts in the past two days, can I exchange some pickles with your family?" ”

Qin Yu was surprised: "Naturally, it's okay, my sister can just go to my house to find my aunt to change, or ask my Jiaojiao sister, why did you catch up with me and ask me?" ”

Luo Gu was a little speechless, she couldn't say that she was a little worried about the Qin family's eldest mother, Qin mother, and Jiaojiao, and didn't dare to talk to them, right?

Qin Yu only thought that she was shy and embarrassed to go to his house, so he had to find him, the best child to talk to, and he asked Luo Gu: "Sister, but do you want it now?" I'll let you go back with you and exchange it for you. ”

Smoke showed a kind smile to Luo Gu next to him.

Luo Gu's eyes dodged, and she said to Qin Yu: "Just change it before the evening eclipse, you go play, I'll go home first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Yu to speak, he turned his head and ran away suddenly.

Qin Yu went to see the smoke and said strangely: "Smoke, Luo seems to be very afraid of you?" Did you bully her? ”

Yan rolled his eyes angrily and pouted: "I never bully people, fish, don't wronged me." Hmph, she's not just afraid of me, people in our family, except for you, she is afraid of everyone. ”

Qin Yu wondered: "Why?" ”

Yan replied, "Who knows? Whatever. Having said that, the method of raw bean sprouts is still taught by fish, she didn't say that it was used to honor you, but now she dares to use it to exchange for pickles, she is afraid that she is not at a loss in her heart, and she does not dare to face the adults in our family, so she has to bully you as a child? ”

Qin Yu smiled: "Smoke, you are the heart of a villain, maybe Luo has some troubles?" Besides, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, you see, our family just doesn't send sprouts, and you can eat fresh sprouts at any time, isn't this the benefit of spreading? ”

For eating more soybeans and one bean, Qin fish has long been like wheat, and they have all tossed out tricks. For example, bean sprouts, such as soy milk, such as tempeh rice.

However, the Qin family is not interested in beans. Beans were a cheap thing, a meal for cows, horses, and slaves. Qin's mother has a solidified class concept, and she will never touch any food related to beans. Even soy milk mixed with honey will not work.

Aunt Qin didn't eat it, and Mother Qin didn't even look at it, and there would never be food related to beans on the dinner table at home, and by the way, Qin Chuan, Qin Luan and Jiaojiao brothers and sisters didn't take the initiative to eat, and there was only one Qin fish left, so naturally he ate whatever his family ate.

Therefore, although the Qin family occasionally sends out some bean sprouts, they are all cooked and eaten by the slaves themselves, and sometimes Qin fish also run to taste the taste.

In this regard, Qin Yu choked his wrist, he had never seen the plaster so far, and he didn't know what the name of the gypsum was at this time, and he couldn't inquire, perhaps, when he had enough chance, he would order the bean curd and tofu, or show the bean paste and soy sauce, and the mother of Qin would give the beans a favored look.

However, although their family does not like beans, Qin's mother still taught the neighbors in Artemisia how to raw bean sprouts and grind soy milk, compared to steamed buns, maybe bean sprouts are the vegetables they urgently need to fill their stomachs, after all, in their fields, soybean is definitely the bulk of the grain.

As for soy milk, I'm sorry, for them, stone grinding is an existence that requires more effort, a dispensable cumbersome thing, and a valuable thing that can only be used by families with livestock and slaves.

After sending Luo Gu away, Qin Yu continued to ride the ox and took the little maid Smoke to his wetland to see the ducklings.

Qinyu's wetland is actually a large area of reeds, because the terrain is slightly low-lying, the water seeping from the side of the Fushui River forms a depression, and grows into a large area of reeds and aquatic plants.

Originally, this land was given to no one, it belonged to the public land of the township, and it was said to be a public land, but the township was also loose, at least the reeds and aquatic plants that grew on it, and the people around it could be picked by anyone, unlike some mountains and forests, where it was illegal for the people to go up to pick up firewood.

There are some wild waterfowl and waterfowl such as ducks, mandarin ducks, cormorants, egrets and other wild waterfowl in the wild in the reeds, Qin Yu saw this land for the first time, he felt that this is a feng shui treasure land for the development of ecological cycle, but if he tossed like this at the beginning, no one would pay attention to him, fortunately, this wetland is very close to their wheat field, he told Qin Damu that he likes the water birds here and wants to put the ducks here to raise.

Although Aunt Qin didn't understand the inevitable connection between his liking of water birds and putting ducks here, she doted on this grandson very much, but what is the difference between raising some ducks at home and raising them in the water outside? And the servants watched, and they all did as he pleased.

Thus, Qin Yu's duck farming plan began.

Wild ducks and domestic ducks are mixed, and the population grows larger every year, and the amount of feces produced alone is massive.

Last summer, he had his servants take the mud mixed with duck dung, mix it with the loess in the field, mix it with rotting grass and leaves, and ferment it to make organic fertilizer and sprinkle it on two cultivated fields.

One is just finished harvesting wheat and waiting for the recovery of the soil and will be ploughed again next year, and the other is empty the year before last and has recovered its strength last year and is waiting to be planted with winter wheat.

There is also a piece that has not been sprinkled with any fertilizer, and it is also cultivated with good soil and winter wheat.

Compare the three plots, cultivate them at the same time, and enjoy the same service, depending on how the harvest will be this summer.

However, there is no need to wait for summer, judging from the current rise and heading of wheat seedlings, the assumptions and goals of Qin Yu have been reached.

Yan didn't go to pick up duck eggs, but came to the edge of the ridge not far away, grabbed an ear of wheat and counted the grains, and after counting, he ran back to Qin Yu and said to him: "Fish, your method really works, the ears of wheat that are not fallow are not less than those in the fallow field, if this is the case, wouldn't our field be doubled?" ”

Qin Yu laughed: "You've been saying this for several days, and my ears can hear the cocoon." ”

In this era, there was no fertilizer, no ploughing oxen, no zigzag plough, and no substitute farming method to maintain the fertility of the soil, all of which were to scatter seeds on flat ploughed land, plant once a year, restore the soil empty in the second year, and plant again in the third year......

Therefore, a family may have enough fields to plant, but only half of the crops can actually be cultivated, and the harvest is only that.

If all the fields can be cultivated year after year, then it is necessary to double the number of harvests in a year.

Of course, this is ideal, but in reality, reality is always beyond the ideal. Therefore, Qin Yu has always been careful to only experiment in his own fields, and no one will say anything. He believes that as long as he makes results, everyone will definitely see it in their eyes and try to implement it.

Yan showed a big smile at him: "The slave is happy, this year our family will plant wheat according to your method, and next year, we will definitely be able to get more than double the grain, so that the slave can eat soft cakes every day?" ”

Qin Yu smiled: "Aren't you eating soft cakes every day now?" Waiting for next year? ”

The smoke drum puffed out his cheeks, and he said angrily: "This is different." ”

Wheat was not meant to be food for slaves like them, let alone such a sweet soft cake, which many nobles and gentlemen might not be able to eat? She can now eat soft bread every day because her master's family is kind, and there is more wheat in the house, and if the master's family harvests less wheat, then these slaves will definitely not be able to continue to eat wheat, and they will all have to be left for the master's family to eat.

Therefore, in Yan's simple and simple cognition, the more wheat is harvested, the better, and as long as the harvest is good, these slaves will be wiped out.

The little maid's idea was simple and beautiful, but in Qin Yu's little head, another plan was brewed.

He wants to dig a pond in this wetland to grow lotus roots, raise fish, turtles and shrimp and other aquatic products, and also dig a biogas digester not far from the Artemisia settlement. Cooking with biogas is secondary, but the main thing is that if his experimental plot is really bumper this year, then the source of fertilizer for the farmland in the township is a very real problem that needs to be considered urgently.

With such a digester, there is a source of organic fertilizer and fertilizer water available, at least in the short term.

And these are not something that his family can do, he has to report to the township, and all departments in the township can coordinate and cooperate to complete it, and this small piece of experimental field is his manual.
