Chapter 118: Plant Ash 2
Haystacks have long been piled near the small fish pond, and there are many turfs with mud attached to them. They are all placed in piles.
These turfs have also been shoveled long ago, and after a few days of drying, they are all dry. When the grass is burned later, the muddy turf will be piled on top of the weeds to let the grass dry.
The turf and weeds burned together.
In this way, the production of plant ash can be increased. If only those weeds and miscellaneous trees are burned, a lot of plant ash will be blown away by the wind.
Covering it with muddy turf can not only prevent the weeds from igniting large open fires, but also prevent the dust from flying around when the weeds burn.
In the past, there were no garbage trucks to remove garbage in the village. Generally, the garbage from the home was piled in a nearby place. When there was too much garbage, the garbage was dug up and left in the sun for a period of time.
.
After drying all the moisture in the garbage, cut some thatch and dead branches, then pile them together with the dried garbage and light them on fire.
The burned ash is also a good fertilizer after being dried through a sieve. But at that time, there were very few plastic bags in the garbage. As for plastic and rubber, they were not thrown into the garbage dump. They could be sold for money.
s things.
Unlike now, plastic bags can account for half of the garbage. Even if the ashes are burned, no one dares to put them in the ground for fertilizer. There are too many harmful things.
Nowadays, villages generally burn household garbage together, and the ashes are thrown into unplanted wasteland. As for whether this will cause any pollution, they can't control that much.
But people don’t pile these things next to the ditch. They usually pick them into the woods.
So sometimes it doesn’t mean that things in rural areas are good, that they are natural and pollution-free. If things grow on the dust from burning garbage, not only are they natural, they are simply highly polluted.
Therefore, the current plastic bags are convenient and convenient, but they do cause too much pollution to the environment. Not to mention degradable, Wu Fei came back at home and found that few plastic bags have any labels on them.
.
God knows whether these plastic bags meet national standards and are made of degradable materials. Anyway, in Wu Fei's opinion, nine out of ten are three-no products produced by those small workshops.
Wu Fei walked around the mountain, and everyone came up after eating and resting for a while. The preparations for burning plant ashes were almost completed in the morning, and now they can officially start.
I pinched a hay ball, lit it with a lighter and threw it into the haystack. The dry haystack quickly burned, and the steaming flames were several meters high.
Several people around had been prepared long ago. When they saw the flames coming out of the haystack, they immediately covered it with the turf piled nearby.
The shovels, shovels, and hoes were all started at the same time, and the flames were quickly suppressed. The flames coming out of the haystack were already very few, and turned into thick smoke.
Everyone stopped covering the haystack with turf and instead put hay and miscellaneous branches on the haystack. After seeing the flames slowly getting bigger, they covered it with turf again.
Repeating this over and over again, the fire soon became taller and taller. In the end, it seemed that no big open flames were coming out, and the smoke did not get smaller. It was almost a pile of plant ash.
After two or three days of burning like this, a pile of plant ashes will be burned. Even if there is a little rain during this period, the plant ashes will not extinguish the fire. After a few days of burning, open the pile and use a sieve to filter out the stones inside.
Blocks and incompletely burned branches. The rest are good inorganic fertilizers from plant ash.
If you fold a pile that is one person high, you can sift out about forty loads of plant ash, which is almost two tons.
More than ten people burned a total of 15 piles in one afternoon, and they almost finished burning the weeds and dead branches cleared from the greenhouse installed underneath.
It was still early after the burning, it was only around 5 pm. However, although everyone was wearing straw hats and masks, their bodies were still covered with dust and their hair became stiff.
Anyway, there was nothing urgent to do next, so his father asked everyone to finish work and go home early. There was dust all over his body, and even with a mask on, Wu Fei felt a lot of it in his nose.
Especially when I first got close to the fire, I sweated a lot, and the dust and sweat were mixed together. I didn't feel anything when I was doing things, but now I feel sticky and itchy all over my body as soon as I stop.
Wu Fei was too lazy to go home and take a shower, so he ran under the water pipe that was pumping water, closed his eyes, and let the water rush directly to his body.
Although the temperature is still over 20 degrees, the water pumped from the reservoir feels much colder. As soon as the water rushed to his body, Wu Fei shivered. He felt goosebumps all over his body.
However, as soon as I was washed with water, the sticky feeling immediately disappeared, and I felt much refreshed.
"Xiao Fei, where are you taking a bath? If you don't go home quickly and take a hot bath, you are still like a child. Don't take a cold bath if you just sweat. Be careful of catching a cold." Wu Fei has just adapted to this.
When the water temperature was low, I heard my father’s cry.
The weather at this time is neither cold nor hot, but the water in the reservoir is already very cold. Especially since the water is pumped up from the bottom of the reservoir, it is even colder. But it just feels a little cold when it hits the body, and it quickly
Just got used to it.
"Old Wu, what are you worried about? Young people are very angry, so why are you afraid of the cold water in this weather? When we were young, we would go fishing in the reservoir in the middle of winter."
Uncle Ding Yun, who was finishing work together, said to his father.
The water from the four-inch water pipe rushed to the body much more vigorously than the showerhead in the bathroom. Wu Fei stood under the water pipe for a while and felt his skin hurt from the electric shock.
But it was really exciting. In a short time, it felt like the dust on his body was washed away. Wu Fei simply took off all his clothes and pants, and stood under the water pipe in a pair of boxer shorts, letting the water flow.
Rushing towards the body, the whole person feels pain and happiness.
But after a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his skin hurt a little. Wu Fei held his clothes in one hand and his shoes in the other, and hurriedly ran to the side.
A closer look showed that the skin on his body was a little red after taking off his clothes for a while. As soon as he got out of the water and was blown by the cool breeze outside, Wu Fei couldn't help but shiver.
