Chapter 90: Growing Sugar Cane
"Planting can be planted, but, what do we do with sugarcane?" Shi Li did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Perhaps...... Is Miss Xiao useful? Aunt Shi now has a blind trust in Xiao Jiuyue, and she said, "You can say if you can plant it." ”
"Miss Xiao, do you really want to plant?" Shi Li sat up straight, stared at Aunt Shi and asked, "Old woman, you didn't fool me, did you?" ”
"What am I going to do with you?" Aunt Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Miss Xiao said yes, you can't lie to me, right?" ”
Although the Xiao family has not been here for a long time, only half a year, but Aunt Shi looked at it, and Xiao Song and them were completely different, Miss Xiao took the people in the village to earn money, even if she was startled by the children, she would definitely not give away dozens of boards directly like Mrs. Gan, but would worry about whether the child was injured.
"No, I have to go to Xiao's house." Shi Li stood up excitedly and was about to go out.
"Wait." Aunt Shi grabbed him back: "Old man, don't you look at what day it is outside, what time is it, you still go to Xiao's house?" Can Miss Xiao see you? ”
Aunt Shi grabbed his hand, she looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why are you so excited about planting a sugar cane?" ”
"You know what." Shi Li was looking outside, it had snowed a few days ago, this would turn into snow, and it was even more freezing outside, so he sat back and said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll go to find Miss Xiao." ”
"How do you understand if you don't tell me?" Aunt Shi stared at him and asked, "Hurry up and say, I'm in a hurry." ”
"Sleep, you'll know tomorrow." Shi Lizheng got up and went to the bed, and Aunt Shi chased after her, and when she wanted to ask, she only heard Shi Lizheng's snoring.
"This old man really only cares about sleeping by himself." Aunt Shi thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand it, she muttered: "Ming'er, I'll go with you, can't you know?" ”
It's dawn.
Aunt Shi couldn't sleep last night, she woke up, there was no shadow of Shi Lizheng next to her, Aunt Shi changed her clothes again and again, and asked while running out: "Where is your father?" ”
Shi Youmin was chopping firewood, and looked up and replied: "I'm out." ”
"This old man." Aunt Shi didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she ran out in a hurry.
Shi Youmin carried the axe and looked at her in a hurry: "Mother, the porridge is still in the pot!" ”
"I won't eat it." Aunt Shi ran all the way towards the Xiao family's old house, and when she arrived, she looked at Shi Lizheng and said excitedly: "Miss Xiao, such good news, I have to tell Lao Wang quickly." ”
"Yes, please ask Wang Lizheng to come over and sign an agreement to expand sugarcane planting this year." When Xiao Jiuyue made canned oranges last year, she almost ran out of sugar in the entire Lancang County!
If she can buy sugar cane by herself and make sugar by herself, no matter what candied snacks she makes, she will definitely not be short of sugar.
At this time, Xiao Jiuyue didn't expect that just because she wanted to save trouble and make sugar by herself, Wan'an County would become a big sugar county in the entire Hongdu, and the people in the village would never be poor again.
"Miss Xiao, thank you!" Shi Li is bowing towards Xiao Jiuyue, they are Fu'an Village and Wan'an Village, that is Brother Nan and Brother Nan!
They have a lot of oranges in Fu'an Village, but they don't make money.
Wan'an Village has a lot of sugarcane, relying on this sugarcane every year, in exchange for some money, they often go to the county together, sometimes about a piece to go to Fucheng to sell these things, once, when they came back from Fucheng, they met robbers, and almost took their lives, he and Wang Lizheng, that is the friendship of life.
"Shili is not polite, I am worried that I can't find someone to grow sugar cane." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled, she was really sleepy, so someone sent a pillow, which helped Wan'an County and herself.
"Miss Xiao, I'll go find Wang Lizheng now." Shi Li was afraid that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams, so he immediately went to Wan'an County.
Aunt Shi caught up and asked, "Old man, how is it?" ”
"I'll go to Wan'an County." After Shi Li finished speaking, he disliked walking slowly and ran directly.
Aunt Shi: "......" She ran away for nothing?
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Mrs. Shi and solved Mrs. Shi's doubts, Xiao Jiuyue took advantage of the good weather to go to the field on purpose, and as far as the eye could see, the cabbage was planted in a piece, just like a good queue, one by one.
"Miss." Yu Ge's sharp eyes saw Xiao Jiuyue, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Miss, I pulled a total of 1,000 catties of radishes yesterday, and I only pulled out less than one-tenth, and 1,000 catties of radishes have been sent to the workshop." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Jiuyue bowed slightly, looking at Yu Ge's dirty body, but the smile on his face was sunny and positive, as if he had worked with endless strength.
"Yu Ge, those extra vegetable leaves can be sent to the house to raise chickens and ducks." Xiao Jiuyue arranged, not at all like Miss Jiao who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers.
Aunt Shi on the side said: "Miss Xiao, you have so many leaves in this vegetable, I'm afraid you can't eat all the chickens and ducks desperately." ”
"It's okay, I also have rabbits, cattle and sheep at home, eat them slowly, and if you can't finish eating, you can use them to make fertilizer." Xiao Jiuyue's words fell, and Aunt Shi was shocked: "This vegetable leaf can still be used as fertilizer?" ”
"Of course, not only vegetable leaves, but also rice washing water, bean water, bean dregs, as long as there is no salt, you can use compost." When Xiao Jiuyue talked about this, he said: "A layer of soil, a layer of leaves, a layer of vegetable leaves, and the compost can be used as base fertilizer." ”
"What is compost? What is basal fertilizer? Aunt Shi's eyes were blank, and that look seemed to say, she has been planting all her life, why don't you know what base fertilizer is?
"Compost is the compost you use straw, fallen leaves, etc., after it is ripe, it can be used as base fertilizer, for example, spring sowing, you want to turn the field, right? At this time, the compost can be mixed into the ground, which can increase the fertilizer of the land, so that our rice can produce more rice. ”
Even if Xiao Jiuyue answered simply, Aunt Shi was still dizzy when she listened: "This, this is also what it looks like in the book?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue replied affirmatively, these words are not only told to Aunt Shi, but also to the Xiao family, otherwise, how to explain that she does not go out of one gate and does not step out of the second door, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family still knows how to farm?
Mrs. Shi was skeptical.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't say more, as long as she waited for the bumper harvest of rice she planted this year, she wouldn't worry that the people in the village would not follow her in the future!
Food, not to mention in the backward country of South Vietnam, is placed in modern times, it is also the most important thing, with food, fill the stomach, in order to do more things that could not be done before!
An acre of land was cleared out, and Xiao Jiuyue let people start plowing the land, there was really no way, the Xiao family had a lot of land, even if there were many people, if it really came to farming, those families of the Xiao family were not as good as the villagers!
"Miss, it's not spring sowing yet." When Manager Jin got the news, he deliberately looked for Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue bowed slightly: "Manager Jin, just rely on ourselves, if we don't start turning the ground early, I'm afraid it won't be too late!" "Productivity is low, there are no machines for ploughing the fields, and it is all manpower, so you can only rush for time!
