Chapter 289 Preparations for Wintering in the Field
Lin Zhu's worries were dispelled by Chang Shishi's words.
"Girl, with your current connections, no one will be bold enough to want to go against you. Besides, the fields are all yours, so aren't you the one who has the final say? Do they dare not listen to you?"
Lin Zhu thought about it. The contract for the land was signed once a year. Many people were afraid that she would take back the land this year. They sent the village chief Wang Dashan to ask questions early. Based on this, the people of Wang Village would not dare to do anything.
Alien.
After being woken up by Chang Shi, Lin Zhu informed Feng Yuanbo of his decision, "Uncle Bo, let everyone in Wangcun sign a contract that any grain purchased from me must be sold back to me.
"Furthermore, Lin Zhu decided not to let the people in Wangcun think that it was easy to get this kind of grain, so she only provided half of the seeds. They had to prepare the remaining half themselves.
After Wang Dashan received the news, he was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he was very happy. Since this year's food harvest, he has made a decision in his heart, that is, he must follow the Lin Zhu family's footsteps, as long as it does not violate his conscience.
, you are right to follow her family.
So he happily took the lead in signing the contract with Feng Yuanbo. With the village chief in front, the villagers of Wang Village quickly followed suit.
Naturally, their move could not be hidden from the neighboring Xiaolin Village. In addition, both villages have relatives and have contacts with each other. Therefore, Lin Youcai, the village chief of Xiaolin Village, soon also knew
about this.
He also came up with the idea of buying grain seeds from Lin Zhu. At that time, he thought about asking his relatives in Wangcun to help buy more, but who knew that it would not work at all, because Lin Zhu only supplied one field per family.
His relatives couldn't even use half of the grain seeds themselves. Let alone buying them for him, they wouldn't even give him points, because these seeds were recorded in Lin Zhu's place.
This trick didn't work, so Lin Youcai couldn't bear to beg Lin Zhu. Naturally, he secretly hated it.
But even if he was willing to lower his face and beg her, Lin Zhu would not agree, because in her opinion, the people in Xiaolinzhuang were completely two-faced, and such people could not be trusted. She would not waste money on these simple things.
energy.
The villagers of Xiaolinzhuang also knew that they had no way to get what they wanted. While they were jealous of the people of Wangcun, they also resented Lin Zhu. However, they knew through the people of Wangcun that Lin Zhu seemed to know some powerful people, so they did not dare to blatantly do evil. Because
Indeed, some people have seen carriages belonging to some officials from the capital come to the Lin Zhu family.
They surrendered to the enemy and lived in peace for a while.
However, Lin Zhu was busy with other things, and the people in Wangcun didn't realize anything was wrong, so Lin Zhu knew nothing about what happened in Xiaolin Village.
She is now mainly busy with her batch of cattle for the winter.
There are still ten farm cattle, which has not increased, but the number of beef cattle has increased from ten to thirty. Mainly because Lin Zhu asked Feng Yuanbo to always pay attention to the cattle market and whether there are any such cattle. As soon as there are such cattle, he will immediately
Buy it back, regardless of the amount of money.
So it quickly increased from ten to thirty.
Because it was the first year, Lin Zhu did not want to kill them, but asked people to record their conditions separately.
But it's October, and winter is about to begin. The pasture is not bad now. It is in the mature stage and can be used as fresh feed. It is far more than the needs of the cattle.
But you must also plan for winter storage of feed. After all, it takes a long time from the time when plants go dormant in winter to when the pasture becomes edible in spring. During this period, the amount of feed required by forty cows is not a small amount.
Not only the pasture must be prepared and stored as winter fodder, but also straw, forest and bamboo are ordered to be kept in large quantities in case of emergencies.
Lin Zhu's cattle raising is actually still in the confidential stage. Besides, as a farmer, cattle are a great wealth, and most people will not kill the grown cattle for meat. Although Lin Zhu has the government's
Certificate, but it will still have an impact on her reputation, so she is still in the stage of standing still.
Lin Zhu came to the slope again to direct the work.
Lin Ping and Lin Yi manage the cattle very well and are very dedicated. Every cow looks strong.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhu smiled at them and nodded, affirming their efforts.
Lin Ping and Lin Yi were both a little embarrassed to be praised by their master.
"There is no need to stay here in winter." Lin Zhu saw that the weather was getting cold, and the house they lived in did not have any heating facilities. "We have built a new cowshed next to the compound. We will drive the cows there when the time comes.
You go back to live in the compound."
"Thank you, girl." Lin Ping and Lin Yi were both very happy.
Seeing that both of them had done well, Lin Zhu thought about finding a time to discuss with Feng Yuanbo and see what kind of rewards he could give them.
"The crops in the fields have been harvested. What we need to do now is to harvest and store the forage." Lin Zhu calmly assigned them tasks.
"Don't worry, girl, we will definitely make arrangements." The two of them nodded in unison.
"Not only that, the winter storage feed needs to be processed again."
Lin Zhu's winter storage feed is not simply about cutting the grass, drying it, and then storing it. Instead, the grass is dried and cut into finger-long pieces, and then some concentrated feed, such as bean cakes, is added.
Mix them together for winter feeding of cattle. And the ratio of forage to concentrate is six to four.
If an experienced cattle farmer saw Lin Zhu raising cattle like this, he would definitely say that she is too extravagant. The cattle do not have to work in winter and do not need to eat concentrated feed at all.
However, Lin Zhu has her own ideas. Because she raises cattle on a small scale, she is not planning to slaughter the cattle for sale. However, in order to allow her partner Muyue Trading Company to push the beef to the capital market, she will definitely kill them in winter.
Climb one or two cows as a preliminary test.
Because ordinary pork dealers would not dare to take on the beef business.
And Lin Zhu was not prepared to push beef to ordinary people, or to those wealthy people who could afford beef and dare to eat beef without caring.
Everything requires a good timing.
Feng Yuanbo knew Lin Zhu's plan and admired Lin Zhu's boldness very much. He even admired Lin Zhu for having an effective feeding method for raising cattle. Now each of those beef cattle is much stronger than when they first arrived.
The fur is also shiny and smooth. Feng Yuanbo is sure that once this kind of beef is introduced, it will be very popular among wealthy people.
Lin Ping and Lin Yi took people to harvest forage.
Lin Zhu took Feng Yuanbo and Minglu to the orchard.
All the wolfberries have been picked, and there are still a few leaves that have not fallen off on the branches, which are gradually turning yellow.
Lin Zhu has nothing to worry about here, because there is experience in planting wolfberry trees in Linjia Village.
After passing the wolfberry orchard, there are the apple orchard and the pear orchard. Now the two fruit trees are no longer in the state of saplings, but more like two-year-old fruit trees.
The trunk of the tree is much thicker.
"Uncle Bo, I wonder what the weather is like here in winter? Is it colder than in Linjia Village?" Lin Zhu asked as he walked.
"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from people in the village that it snows a lot here." Feng Yuanbo didn't know why Lin Zhu asked this, but he still told what he knew.
Lin Zhu listened and nodded, thinking about it. She asked Minglu to write down how many fruit trees there were.
Finally, we walked to the vineyard. All the grapes here had been picked, the leaves on the vines had withered a lot, and the whole garden was much depressed.
Grape vines must be prepared for overwintering before winter comes, otherwise the growth and development, yield and quality of the next year will be affected. Although Linzhu's grape vines are nourished by space, Linzhu does not have enough space for this perennial plant.
Confidence that their characteristics have remained unchanged.
So to be on the safe side, the grapevines must be prepared to survive the winter. All grapevines must be buried underground. And it is best before the ground freezes.
Because he didn’t know when the freeze would occur, Lin Zhu decided that the grapevines must be buried underground in November.
There are still more than twenty days left, so first prune the branches and vines, and then tie them along the direction of the branches and vines. It should not be too tight or too loose.
To stay away from the roots of the grape plants, dig the anti-freeze ditch first. This will prevent it from being difficult to dig when the soil is frozen. Even if it is dug, the soil is not suitable for burying the grape vines because the cover is not tight.
There will be large gaps, which will also allow the grapevines to be frozen.
There was no plastic film here. Lin Zhu thought of preparing some curtains made of straw. On the one hand, they were tied about one meter above the roots of the fruit trees. On the other hand, they were covered on the grapevines and pressed down with soil.
It can play a certain role in keeping warm.
These are all experiences that Lin Zhu has seen before in his previous life.
At first, Feng Yuanbo and others didn't quite understand Lin Zhu's approach, because no one had ever done this for fruit trees. They thought that they were born with it and relied on God's help.
Therefore, Lin Zhu's method made them feel very novel. In order to test whether Lin Zhu's method was right or not, under Lin Zhu's persuasion, they did as she said first, and then waited until the next year to compare it with other people's fruit trees.
Let’s compare it to see if Lin Zhu’s method works.
Once everything is done, it will be almost the end of October.
Lin Zhu also had some free time and began to have time to care about Fu Dou'er and others' homework.
Basically, Lin Zhu was worried about leaving Fu Dou'er and others to Chang Shi, because Chang Shi was too doting on them. If he didn't like writing, he didn't have to write, and if he didn't like reading, he could cheat on them.
Several times Fu Dou'er was caught by Lin Zhu for cheating and not completing his homework.
Because he was young, Lin Zhu did not force him to have too much homework, just fifty to one hundred Chinese characters every day.
Because Feng Rongxuan would do well, Lin Zhu relaxed his attention to Fu Dou'er during the busy farming period.
So now Lin Zhu had a serious expression on Fu Dou'er.
"Write all your unfinished homework within seven days." Fu Dou'er didn't finish writing the big characters for about ten days, so Lin Zhu gave him a little more time.
"Yes." Fu Dou'er knew that he was in the wrong, so he pursed his lips and reluctantly walked to his study room.
Originally, Lin Zhu wanted to communicate with Chang Shi to see if he could change his relaxed attitude towards Fu Dou'er. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, someone had already spoken for her and gave Chang Shi a severe lesson.
