Last year, I used bean cake water to topdress the 50-foot stick, and it is still growing well this year.
As for the two hundred feet of newly planted plants that used the compound fertilizer prepared by Xu Shiyan as the base fertilizer last year, after they were unearthed this year, the Bangchui seedlings grew taller and stronger than the Bangchui seedlings that did not use base fertilizer.
It can be clearly seen that the sticks with base fertilizer grow well.
After Yu Shouguang came to see it in person, he immediately decided that all the frozen crops should be topdressed this year.
Then prepare some base fertilizer. When planting sticks in autumn, try to use all base fertilizer.
Adding base fertilizer and top dressing can increase yield by 50%.
After three years of service, who doesn’t want to produce more? It’s all money.
How much does the bean cake cost? The team didn’t go shopping elsewhere, so they had to prepare it.
Xu Shiyan is a technician of the second brigade. He has to lead people to do things like retting and fertilizing, but the sticks on the Xiaohei River cannot be left unattended.
The day after Xu Shiyan came back from cutting the deer antler, Yu Shouguang went up the mountain to find Xu Shiyan.
"Xiao Xu, that's my plan. As for you, I'll arrange for someone to come up.
Recently you went back to take charge of the fertilization, what do you think?"
"Uncle Yu, you can arrange whatever you want, I will listen to you."
Yu Shouguang is the secretary and Xu Shiyan is a member, so of course they have to listen to the leaders.
"Then you think, who would be more suitable to arrange to come up?"
It was agreed at the beginning that Xu Shiyan would be the one to decide who would be arranged here in Xiaoheihe.
Yu Shouguang is not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word. Since his words have been spoken, they must be fulfilled. Therefore, Xu Shiyan must decide on this candidate.
"Uncle, do you think it's okay to ask my dad to come up?"
When Xu Shiyan thought about it, he couldn't look to outsiders for this matter.
There are otters and sables on this mountain, and scoundrels come back from time to time. If it were someone else, what if greed for money harmed these little things?
When it comes to reliability, who can be better than your own father? Although Xu Chenghou has a bad temper, he is good at work.
Nowadays, the ginseng field is surrounded by guns, cannons, and traps, and it is newly planted. No one can come here. The old man watched from the mountain and nothing happened.
Besides, when Xu Shiyan is not busy, he can stay here at night, which is a good time for the father and son to keep him company.
Besides, when Xu Chenghou came up, the team also gave him full work points. The old man could still earn full work points at sixty. Where could he find such a good thing?
"Okay, you two are more reliable than others on the mountain.
If it works, then I will go back and tell your father to come up to the mountain tomorrow, and you will go down and be responsible for the fertilization."
When Yu Shouguang heard this, he immediately agreed.
For him, it doesn't matter who comes to see the ginseng. What matters is the fertilizing technology mastered by Xu Shiyan.
Compared with increasing production with a stick, one person's work points are nothing.
Let alone one person's work points, how much does ten people earn throughout the year?
If these tens of thousands of sticks can increase production by 50%, how much will it cost?
Any fool knows which end is the best, and Yu Shouguang is not stupid.
"Xiao Xu, as long as you figure out the matter of retting and fertilization, then our team will take action and the production will increase. I will credit you with your great contribution."
What Yu Shouguang said was sincere, not just trying to make a big deal.
The ginseng production of the Second Brigade has increased. If he doesn't give Xu Shiyan some benefits, he won't be able to retain people at all.
As long as other brigades, communes, and even counties know that Xu Shiyan has this ability, they are still not allowed to break their heads and try to rob him?
In order to retain talents, you have to do something real, otherwise who will help you?
"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Xu Shiyan smiled, it didn't matter whether he remembered the merit or not. It was good like this now. He wasn't excluded or suppressed, and his words in the team had some weight. Xu Shiyan didn't have any big ideals, so that was fine.
Earn your work points, earn some extra money, and live your life slowly, contentedly.
Yu Shouguang went down the mountain and hurriedly went to Xu Chenghou to discuss it.
When Xu Chenghou heard this, he asked him to go up the mountain to see the ginseng and gave him full work points. Oh, he was very happy.
You know, the work points of the Second Brigade are much higher than those of a big house. The full work points are almost two yuan a day. You would be stupid not to go.
Just like that, on the morning of May 17th, Xu Chenghou brought a lot of luggage, and the team specially sent a carriage to take him up the mountain.
When father and son met, Xu Shiyan had to lead his father around the venue and talk about the guns, cannons and so on.
"Dad, just remember, wherever I mark it like this, there must be a ground gun.
Clips, traps, etc. all have signs next to them." Xu Shiyan pointed to the mark he made on a big tree and warned his father.
Xu Chenghou was not stupid, he understood after taking a look at the mark, "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I usually don't go this way.
Just go back to your work and don't worry too much about those gaping beasts on Gua Mountain. I will keep them for you and feed them."
Xu Chenghou is a very capable person. Nothing is difficult for him. The only difficulty is eating, which he is not very good at.
Fortunately, before coming up, Zhou Guilan folded a thick pile of pancakes for him, and also brought a few jars of pickles, miso and other things.
Even if Xu Shiyan doesn't come back at night, Xu Chenghou can still manage to eat.
After all the instructions were given, Xu Shiyan rode down the mountain and led the people to prepare the matters related to the fermentation of bean cakes.
Xu Shiyan always felt uneasy about his father being on the mountain, so he tried his best to come back at night and ride his bike back down the mountain in the morning.
Anyway, just spending some time going back and forth is better than leaving the old man alone in the mountains.
Fortunately, Shouguang arranged a few more helpers for Xu Shiyan this year, and the candidates were all selected by Xu Shiyan himself.
Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming, Feng Chao, Sun Xiaofeng, and Huang Shengli, who moved from the big house, all worked with Xu Shiyan and received high work scores.
After ten days of busy work, the bean cakes were finally crushed and fermented, and Xu Shiyan's errand came to an end for the time being.
Xu Shiyan told Yu Shouguang that his family was going to build a house, and he would have to work for a few days to purchase materials for building the house.
Most houses built in these days were still made of adobe, but some were also made of bricks and tiles.
It is easier to build an adobe house. The loess is mixed with Tatou grass and mud, and is filled into a wooden frame to make adobe of a uniform size, which can be used after drying.
Building an adobe house is simple. Most of them use yellow mud, which means preparing some stones to build the foundation, and then getting some wood to make the beams, purlins, doors and windows.
If you build a brick house, it will be troublesome.
Bricks, stones, cement, lime, and sand are all needed.
To the north of Donggang Primary School, there is a large kiln with red bricks, tiles and porcelain pipes.
For stones, the Third Brigade has a special quarry to supply the commune and Songjiang River for construction and construction.
There is a building materials factory in Donggang that also has sand, cement, and lime.
However, all the above things are supplied to each unit.
If you want to use it personally, you can't buy it with money, you need to approve a note.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyan also knew the commune cadres, and could talk to most of them, so he found someone to help him gain connections and finally got the note approved.
Then, he took the note approved by the commune leader, along with money, cigarettes and alcohol.
Go to kilns, stone quarries, and building materials, buy everything you need to build a house, and find a car to take home.
