After all, after being away for more than half a year, Cheng Jin decided to stay in the capital for one more month to accompany Jiang Baohui.
Xie Wuyang originally wanted to leave by himself, but his grandmother fell ill later in the year, so he did not leave immediately. He simply decided to go back with Cheng Jin a month later.
Beihe Village.
After spring, wheat needs to be topdressed, this time using human excrement.
The nutrients contained in human feces are easy to decompose, and it is a fast-acting fertilizer, which is very suitable for top dressing.
Years ago, a family piled up the excrement from the toilet and stored it because it was not yet time for top dressing.
There are two storage methods: dry storage and wet storage. The Cheng family chose dry storage, mixed with twice the amount of fine soil or peat, and put it in a cool place. Apply mud to the outside, or cover it with a layer of fine soil and pat it firmly.
Prevents loss of fertility.
Just wait until the day you want to use it before taking it out.
After working hard for more than half a month, it finally came to an end.
In February, Cheng Jin and Xie Wuhuang finally came back and brought a letter from Jiang Baohui. This time Lingbao actually had a separate letter!
"Lingbao, why don't you accept it?" Cheng Jin tilted his head in confusion.
Cheng Yi pushed the stunned Ling Bao and pinched her face. Ling Bao seemed to have lost her soul. After a long time, she finally came back to her senses.
"Take it! Take it! I took it!" How could she not accept the letter her mother gave her?
Ling Bao took it almost reverently with both hands, caressed it carefully, and then couldn't wait to open it and read.
There was only a piece of paper and a few words, but it made Ling Bao's eyes heat up.
"Mother..." Ling Bao rubbed his eyes, suddenly ran towards Cheng Zhongqian, held his hand, and said seriously, "Dad, you must study hard, okay? We have to go back to see mother quickly.
relative!"
Cheng Zhongqian nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
After that, there were two more top dressings, and everyone in the Cheng family was used to it.
The crops are different every day, and they change very quickly. Because they used new fertilizer this time, they are all waiting to see the effect, so Lingbao and the others basically go there to observe every day, no more than three days at most, and they even specially took a
The small book record is the small book that records the growth status of the fungus.
Having said this, I have to mention that the fungus cultivated by the villagers has been harvested one after another. In addition to the food left at home, a large part has been sold for money. Therefore, this year, basically every household has eaten several meals.
Meat.
This was very uncommon in previous years!
Today Lingbao came to the field again.
The green wheat is rippling in the wind, and it is as long as the calf. The grains are plump and not shriveled, nor are they yellow and withered. At a quick glance, you can tell that they are different from the ones next door.
The next time I touch it, I am even more convinced that it is extraordinary!
Almost anyone with eyes can see that the Lingbao family's wheat grows exceptionally well, let alone those who have been growing crops for decades.
"Lingbao, your wheat is growing really well, it's so heavy, I feel so reassured."
The village chief, a man in his several decades, squatted in front of the field with Ling Bao and several other children, not thinking anything was wrong at all.
Ever since the village chief discovered the growth of their wheat, he has come to see it together every day.
Lingbao said proudly: "It's all thanks to the fertilizer."
A good base fertilizer or top dressing is good. If the nutrients are sufficient, the wheat will certainly grow well.
The village chief said regretfully: "If I had known, I would have asked everyone to learn from you."
But in fact, he knew that even if he said it at that time, not many people would be willing to do it.
After all, we rely on this little grain in the ground for a year's worth of food, and no one has tried new fertilizers. You said it would increase production, but I also said it would reduce production!
Cheng Yun smiled and said, "I still don't know what it will be like in the end."
The village chief said: "I don't think it's wrong."
As he said that, the village chief touched it again. Looking at his expression, he almost wished he could sleep in the ground.
"Ahem, um, Lingbao." The village chief suddenly rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed, "Can you teach us how to make this fertilizer?
"
He also felt that what he said was a bit shameless, but the crops of the Cheng family were so tempting!
"If you are willing to teach us how to do it, I will... I will..."
After thinking for a long time, I didn't find anything they needed for Ling Bao, so I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
"I was originally going to teach you." Ling Bao said with a smile.
The village chief suddenly raised his head and stuttered with excitement: "Really, really?"
Ling Bao nodded: "Yes, my father is afraid that the effect will not be good, so we will try it first. If the effect is good, you can use it this year."
The village chief burst into tears.
Cheng Zhongqian was not there, so he held the hands of Ling Bao and Cheng Yun and choked with sobs: "Good boy, uncle thanks you for the whole village! Thank you, thank Cheng Xiucai, thank you all..."
Cheng Yun hurriedly interrupted him. He was afraid that if he didn't interrupt him, the village chief would say "Thank you eighteen generations of ancestors."
When the wheat was still green, the difference was already obvious. When the wheat turned yellow, everyone was speechless.
They have never seen such thick and plump wheat!
"Damn it, how many stones does this cost?!"
"Hey, Cheng Xiucai, your wheat ears are too heavy!"
This time, he could no longer say that he was just so-so. Cheng Zhongqian was smiling all over his face.
It’s time to harvest wheat today. The villagers all had sickles in their hands, but they didn’t go to their own fields. Instead, they gathered around the Cheng family’s crops, with envy on their faces. They wished this was their own land. Then
It really makes me laugh so hard in my dream!
"Okay, okay, don't look at it anymore," the village chief yelled, "When the wheat harvest is finished, Cheng Xiucai and the others will teach us how to make fertilizer. Wait until next year, and you don't have to be envious!"
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
"What? Really, the village chief?"
"Cheng Xiucai, Ling Bao, are you really willing to teach us?"
Ling Bao nodded like a fool: "Yes."
After the villagers were overjoyed, they still wanted to cry. Why is this little girl so good?
They have nothing to give Lingbao, so just scold Han Dahu and Wu family a few more times, they are worse than animals!
"Okay, everyone go to work quickly. Finish the work as soon as possible and teach you how to make fertilizer." The village chief said.
The villagers left in a hurry, full of energy.
This year Cheng Zhongqian, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi are more skillful in their movements. Last year, the wheat stubble after harvesting was of different heights and ugly pits, but this year it is neat and tidy. It can be burned and turned into fertilizer.
The three of them were cutting in the front, and the three of them who were safe were tied up in the back.
"It's really sunk a lot!" Ling Bao laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
The bundles were obviously about the same amount as last year, but they were a little heavier.
Lingbao suddenly hugged the king, buried his face in its fur and took a deep breath.
"My lord, thank you!"
Only then would she have the space to read so many books, and only then would she know this good way to benefit the people.
