Chapter 584 Skills in Growing Crops
Aunt Liu Si didn't dare to say that she would become the richest person in Lijia Village, but she dared to say that their Lijia Village will definitely be one of the best days in the future.
Even now, many girls want to marry into their Lijia Village.
When other villages have a problem with their stomachs for two days, only Lijia Village can take out grain and hire others to help with the work.
When the hatched chicks could run slowly, the crops planted in the ground also grew from under the ground, and green vines were added.
Some of them grow faster can be pinched down to make seedlings.
When to apply fertilizer and when to water, there is no need for Bian Pingling at all.
These old farmers have been dealing with crops and land all their lives, and they also have to look at the sky and the crops in the fields to know what to do.
Because of Bian Pingling's "inspiration", they came up with many inspirations from her experience in cultivating nurseries - since sweet potatoes can sprout first and then plant them, can other crops be the same?
As for how to make the seeds sprout, as long as you learn how to use beans to sprout, there are not many who don’t know how to make the seeds sprout.
If you want the seeds to germinate, this is just this way: one, you need water; two, you need a suitable temperature: three, you need a suitable light.
Bian Pingling also taught a very simple method: "If you really can't figure out how much water you want and what kind of temperature you want, so you wet the seeds and find a piece of coarse cloth to wrap it on your stomach."
"The temperature on our human body is definitely suitable for seed germination. I can't guarantee that all seeds will work with this method, but most of the seeds will definitely work."
"What you need to note is that the cloth inside should be breathable. Even if the cloth is wet, it is OK, but the cloth outside should not be too wet. After all, you have to put it on your body. If the cloth is wet, it will not feel comfortable."
Bian Pingling said this, but for villagers who are anxious to germinate seeds, can they feel comfortable? Can they have seeds germinate?
Anyway, it only takes a few days, and the endurance will pass.
"In this process, you must pay attention to the seeds wrapped in it must not be deficient in water. It is estimated that they will be opened every two or three days to determine whether the seeds inside have germinated."
"If you are afraid that the seeds will be shined by the light during the day, then open them at night."
As for opening it during the day and at night, it only took a while. In fact, the impact on the seeds was not particularly great, so she was too lazy to talk about it.
I said it at that time, and I had to explain it again.
"If you think the buds are almost done, you can plant them."
"Didn't you ask you to do compost before? You sorted out a piece of jade nursery, and used this kind of compost on the top layer, which was about a depth of about a palm-deep, and then planted the two seeds that had sprouted in one pit."
"How wide should you put between the pits? You can estimate it yourself. This is a nursery. After the seedlings grow, they need to be transplanted again, so there is no need to be too wide, just about the same."
"Anyway, don't bury it too deep. Just dig a hole with your fingers, a thin layer so that it will grow faster."
"Well, it's about half the depth of your finger. You can adjust it slightly based on your own experience."
"After planting, water it once. Thank you for your hard work. Water it in a small bucket with fine holes, just like a drizzle in spring, so as not to hurt the seeds."
"In the end, we must cover a layer of hay. It's still early spring, and we planted them early. Many crops have to wait for the weather to be warmer before they can be made. Since we have done it in advance now, we must do a good job of insulation."
"Covering a layer of hay is like covering a quilt on our body, which will make the temperature inside the ground higher. But don't cover it too well. We people cover it ourselves, and it will be uncomfortable if it is covered too thick."
"In fact, growing crops is like taking care of children. There is no special skill, just make them feel comfortable."
"The temperature is comfortable, the land is comfortable, the moisture is comfortable, and the light is comfortable. When they feel comfortable, they will slowly grow."
Although the villagers are old men who grow crops, they usually rely on experience and feelings when growing crops. No one has thought about summarizing these experiences and using what kind of planting techniques to use.
Some old men are more experienced and can grow the desired results based on their feelings. But when you ask them how they planted them, they are also confused.
"I don't know, that's how it is done."
"There is no trick? Just dig a hole and bury it in, then loosen the soil, water it, and it's gone."
But Bian Pingling is different. Although her cultivation experience is not as rich as this group of old-fashioned men, she has more theoretical knowledge than them.
When she shared these theoretical knowledge that she summarized with you, many of the old ways have a sudden realization - Isn't that the case if I want to plant crops well?
But they usually have experience and don’t know how to express it. Now when she says it, everyone feels it, and the outline in their minds becomes clearer.
"Yes, that's how I planted it. What temperature, humidity, land... are these things. Unfortunately, I haven't read any books, have no culture, and don't know what to say. Now, as soon as she says it, she explains everything I've done."
"After she said this, I felt that the things in my mind were clearer, just like that? Yes, I mastered some skills. As long as I can make one thing, I will plant other things."
"When I planted crops for a lifetime, I didn't know how to teach others how to plant them. Now that I'm fine, we can also explain them clearly."
There are a few old-fashioned styles that take the lead. Everyone has found out the crops for various crops and has explored them according to this method.
Unexpectedly, in half a month, they created a lot of vegetable fields. All kinds of vegetables that took a while to grow have grown and are in good condition.
They were even more careful than what Bian Pingling said. Not only did the nursery cover the hay and wood ash, but they would also carefully cover the roots of the plants after some vegetables came out.
Everyone has collected compost, fermentation, wood ash, and hay more diligently.
Seeing that the crops in the fields were growing out, the other people who were responsible for building houses and villages were all so happy that they were even more motivated.
What are they working for?
Isn't it just for the food?
Doesn’t the ability of crops to grow early mean that they can eat these things in advance?
When I think of food, what else can I say? Just work.
Many of the people who come to Lijia Village to work in other villages. They live in Lijia Village when they work, and they save food, and the rest accumulates. They go back to their hometown every few days to send the saved food back.
During this trip, in addition to bringing the accumulated grain, he also brought back the situation in Lijia Village when he returned.
