Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh durable old objects
I talked with my parents for a while, mainly because I listened to my mother's nagging. I heard that Wu Fei and the others spent more than 100,000 yuan on buying jewelry. I just said it was too expensive. What should I do if a family with a lower condition?
When I got married to my dad, I only spent seven or eight hundred yuan in total from getting engaged to getting married.
Wu Fei didn’t know how my parents got married at that time, but I heard my mother talk about it many times over the years.
But most of my mother’s dowry is still preserved in the courtyard. A large wardrobe, two small boxes, and a sewing machine are still well preserved now.
As for other large dowry, I always used it when I was a child, but later it was broken and it was replaced with new ones. Now there are only three things left.
The two small boxes were once one of Wu Fei and his sister Wu Li. Wu Fei's one is still under the bed, most of which are filled with toys from childhood and some picked up things.
As for the box of my sister Wu Li, it is useless now, and no one cares about it when I put it in the room.
Speaking of which, the things I made in the past were much more durable than what I made now. Just say that the large wardrobe and these two boxes have been used for about 30 years and have not broken at all. For example, the small box that Wu Fei used to hold miscellaneous items has not even painted at all, and wiped off the dust on it, looking shiny.
In fact, the most durable thing is the sewing machine at home, a panda brand sewing machine. My dad said that the sewing machine cost almost 200 yuan at that time, and it was the most valuable thing in the family at that time.
However, the quality of the things at that time was really good. Whether it was furniture made by yourself or industrial products they bought, they could still be used after decades of use.
Just the Panda brand sewing machine. If the clothes and pants at home are cut, my mother will use the sewing machine to sew them. Not to mention, most of the clothes of Wu Fei and others were made from this sewing machine when she was a child.
Even Xiao Duoduo's clothes, most of the clothes that were made by my mother using a sewing machine, were modified by old clothes that Wu Fei and the others did not wear.
In the words of the elderly, it is easier for children to wear old clothes, but I don’t know if that is true. But after Duoduo grows older, he is no longer willing to wear clothes made by his grandmother. Now all the clothes are bought.
"There are some of the dishes in the fields now that they can be sold in a while, but after those dishes are sold, there are not many dishes that can be sold next."
After talking about buying things in the past two days, Wu Bang said to Wu Fei: "I plan to grow vegetables now, so I can't just plant the ones they ordered. Selling this one requires another to top it. Chili and eggplant will take several months to plant, and some other vegetables will also need to be grown during this period."
"Didn't the lettuce seedlings have grown? Are they ready to plant now?"
Wu Fei remembered that when he went to the county town two days ago, he went to see the lettuce seedlings. At that time, it was three inches tall, and in two or three days, it should have grown a lot taller.
Wu Fei specially emptied a greenhouse to plant the seedlings. Now the temperature outside is more than ten degrees when the day is high, and only around zero degrees when the temperature is low at night.
Under such temperature conditions, the seed germination speed is very slow. However, the temperature in the greenhouse is much higher, especially when the sun comes out during the day, the temperature in the greenhouse can reach more than 30 degrees.
Sometimes when the temperature is too high, both ends of the greenhouse must be opened to allow the air inside to circulate and reduce the temperature inside the greenhouse. For example, lettuce seedlings are growing in the greenhouse, and it will be the same every day, and it should have grown a lot in two or three days.
My father said, "Letta can be planted. Yesterday, three or four of us planted acre of lettuce on more than acres of land. Those seedlings can still plant one or two acres of land, but the place where the pits have been dug has been planted. Tomorrow you first drive a tractor to dig a few pits on the land and then do something else."
When Wu Fei went to the county town, a lot of wasteland on the mountain had already been turned over. But those fields were only turned over. If you want to plant vegetables, you had to dig a hole and fertilize according to the variety of vegetables.
It's just raining these two days, and I don't know if the ground is confused. If it is confused, it's not easy for the tractor to dig a hole in the ground.
There is a lot of clay on the mountains in the south, and some clay is also a good pottery material. In the village next door, I used to have a kiln factory that burns jars and jars, but the few pottery that came out were all black ink.
However, it is very useful to use. After putting the sauerkraut in, it will not break even in one or two years.
Especially the jars of wine used to make wine at home, the brewed rice wine will not be sour after three to five years, and all the glutinous rice inside will melt.
It’s just because the appearance is not good-looking, and the pottery prices from other places are very cheap, so the kiln factory can’t make much money. It couldn’t be opened many years ago and turned it off. Now, from there, you can still see most of the kiln factories that have been dumped.
This kind of soil is very good for making bricks by burning kilns, but it is very troublesome for farmers to farm. Especially after it rains and wet, it will stick to mud when you step on it. If you step on it too much, the place will be like iron plates, and all of them are tied together.
For land like Wu Fei and others, if you want high yields and easy to cultivate, the best way is to improve the soil. One way is to add very fine river sand to the soil, so that the soil will not be so sticky and will be breathable and water-permeable.
But nowadays, river sand is so expensive that it is unrealistic to use river sand to improve the soil. You may not make any money for three or five years to plant things, but you can’t make any money for buying river sand.
Besides, sand digging boats are now prohibited from going down the river to harvest sand. Sand digging boats in the county are either sold or cut and sold scrap iron. You can’t see the shadow of sand digging boats.
Another method is to use a large amount of organic fertilizer. Using 4,000 kilograms of organic fertilizer at one time in a mu of land can also play a role in rapidly improving the soil.
If you just use the opportunity to improve the soil, you also need to persist in using organic fertilizer for a long time. You can’t see that the soil is not that sticky, so you don’t use organic fertilizer, but replace it with chemical fertilizers and compound fertilizers.
If too much fertilizer and compound fertilizer is used, it will also cause a lack of soil fertility and make the soil solidified, especially in the south with high viscosity, more likely to have such problems.
