Tian Minyan and Tian Huairen led Xie Chengzhong to the old house at the head of the village. Zhou Gui and other long-time workers were already waiting there. When they met their boss, they called the third master and the second miss.
"Is everyone getting used to it?" Tian Minyan stood under the eaves and looked at several long-term workers and said, "This house has not been lived in for a long time, and it has a bit of a musty smell. You can make do with it."
"Second girls, everything is fine. This house is sturdier than mine." Zhou Gui smiled honestly, and the other two people also expressed that they were used to it and were a little cautious.
"That's good." Tian Minyan nodded, and said: "Our Tian family just opened up a hundred acres of wasteland. I think you all know that the hundred acres of wasteland will also be planted with crops after the autumn sowing. Before that, we have to plant crops."
Let’s fertilize and fertilize the ground first.”
"Retting?" Zhou Gui and the others looked at each other, somewhat confused.
Tian Minyan briefly explained the procedure of retting, and finally said: "Only our Tian family knows this method. We have collected some of the rotten leaves on the mountain before. I hope it will not be leaked. Do you understand?"
"Second girl, please don't worry." Everyone said in unison.
"Then let's get started, Xie Chengzhong, you first take them to the public toilet to find their way around, then go to where Tian's manure pile is and push the manure up the back hill.
"Yes, second girl." Xie Chengzhong agreed and took the others away. Tian Huairen was worried and followed him.
It was the first time for manure to be fertilized, so Tian Minyan naturally had to follow him, but pushing the manure did not require a skinny fairy like her to push it, so she took the note she had prepared and went to the banyan tree at the head of the village first.
"Second girl, what's going on?" A few aunties who were chatting with each other couldn't help but smile when they saw her coming.
They also went to the Tian family's 100 acres of wasteland to open up wasteland, just picking up some tree roots and the like. The work was easy and they easily earned six cents. In their opinion, this was much better than doing embroidery.
So now when they see Tian Minyan coming, they feel that the God of Wealth is here, because Tian Minyan is used to coming to the banyan tree to play gongs and drums and post announcements when she needs help from others.
It is said to be a bulletin board, but it was actually made by Tian Minyan based on the bulletin boards in her previous school. A whiteboard one meter long and one meter wide was erected on a shelf, and an oil paper shed was ordered on top to protect it from the rain. Without magnets, she
Use some iron nails to hold it down.
And this bulletin board is also convenient for everyone. Some older people have followed the same example. If there is anything that needs to be informed to everyone, just post a note on it.
"Auntie, there's nothing wrong. I just want to buy duck eggs today. They cost a penny each. If you have some, you can send them to my house." Tian Minyan said with a smile and posted the paper she wrote on the bulletin board.
.
A young woman who was literate came up to take a look and asked in surprise: "Second girl, how many duck eggs do you want? My uncle raises ducks and there are plenty of duck eggs. If you want them, I can do it."
I asked my uncle to come."
Tian Minyan was also surprised. She originally thought that there were some duck eggs in the village, so just collect them and it would be fine. Unexpectedly, there were people who ran a farm, so she happily said: "As many as you want, sister-in-law Xie, you can just let me"
My uncle sent it."
She was originally worried that she would not be able to purchase enough duck eggs to produce them in large quantities, but she never expected such a surprise.
Sister-in-law Xie sighed, stopped reading the announcement, and walked quickly home. This is good news.
The remaining aunts kept asking Tian Minyan why she bought these duck eggs and what they were used for. Tian Minyan didn't explain much. She just said that the Liu family in the town needed them and she helped to buy them.
"It's the Liu family." When the aunts heard that the wealthy Liu family wanted it, and also knew that Tian Minyan's family had some friendship with the Liu family, they curled their lips and walked away.
Naturally, Tian Minyan knew what they were thinking. They just wanted to see if she had any new ideas so that she could make a little fortune with her.
I saw that there were a few families in the village who had some money, so I quickly bought some pieces of wasteland and imitated her in reclaiming wasteland.
She knew in her heart that these preserved eggs were easier to make than cakes, and could only be sold once. If these preserved eggs were released in large quantities, someone would definitely figure out how to make them, because pickling them was so simple.
People are selfish, who doesn't want to eat soup? She is just a common person. You know, rare things are valuable. Once there are too many preserved eggs in the market, they may not be able to sell for five cents.
After posting the announcement, Tian Minyan walked to the wasteland in the back mountain and came to several large pits specially dug for fertilization. Tian Huairen had already led several long-term workers to remove the manure from the wooden carts one by one and put them aside.
Seeing her coming, the long-term workers called her "Second Girl" again. Tian Minyan took out a handkerchief from her arms and wrapped it around her nose before walking over.
The entire ten large pits were filled with a lot of waste, including dead grass and rotten leaves, crushed bone powder, and animal offal collected from unknown places. Anyway, she collected all the waste materials that could be fertilized and threw them in.
Zhou Gui and other long-term workers naturally saw it and were a little confused. Can such a thing be used as fertilizer? Isn't fertilizer just feces? How can these things be used as fertilizer?
Tian Minyan ordered them to pour part of the feces into it, spread it on top, and put a layer of waste materials at intervals, and then brought water and poured it in to soak it, and then sealed it with oil paper that could keep out rain, and pressed it with stones around it.
The oil paper did not allow ventilation, and it was also covered with a large wooden board used as a lid, leaving only a hole for ventilation.
After the first retting pit was completed, the next few retting pits were much easier. Without her guidance, a few people quickly organized them, and soon all ten large retting pits were covered.
"Second girl, can all these things really become fertilizer?" Zhou Gui asked hesitantly: "How many days will it take to make it?"
"It's going to get hot now. In this kind of weather, it can be done in more than a month." Tian Minyan said with a smile: "As for whether it will work or not, you will know then."
"Don't worry, the second girl said it can be done, then it will be done." Xie Chengzhong came over, patted Zhou Gui on the shoulder vigorously and laughed.
Zhou Gui also recognized Xie Chengzhong. Seeing that even a scoundrel like him had been subdued by Tian Minyan and was willing to work in her hands, he smiled honestly and said, "Second young lady knows a lot."
Tian Minyan looked at the ten lidded fertilization pits, and then glanced at the large shimmering pond. The corners of her mouth were raised high. Next, she would have to think about this when the fertilizers were ready to fertilize the ground.
What should be planted in the ground?
