Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

The land behind the house has been cleared of weeds.

Luo Xuan gathered these weeds into several piles, and prepared to dry them for a few days before burning them with fire.

Looking at the large piece of bare wasteland, Luo Xuan led Zhang Xiaoli to try to dig up a small piece of land, intending to see its soil structure.

But I found that these lands are really barren.And it may still belong to the kind of land with high alkali content.

If it is used to grow food and vegetables, the output may not be too high.

This requires constant fertilization to improve the soil structure.

and,

There are many earthworms and ant nests in these soils.

As many as tens of meters apart, there will be an ant nest of different sizes.

When the ant nest was opened, densely packed ants huddled in the ground, building one after another ant nests similar to the shape of wild bee nests.

The earthworms here are fat and big.

Many of them, probably because they are too big, seem to have evolved a little hard shell on their bodies!

It's kind of hard like a centipede.

It's still scary to watch.

I don't know this kind of earthworms, are they beneficial insects or harmful insects?
or both:
It can not only loosen the soil, aerate the soil and increase fertility, but at the same time they can also harm the root system of crops.

"Go and buy some more chicken."

Luo Xuan pondered for a while,
He opened his mouth and said, "Since there are so many ant nests and earthworms in the ground, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to find some free high-protein feed for these chickens while digging the ground?"

Zhang Xiaoli nodded, "But have you ever thought that it will be difficult for us to sell so many chickens and ducks when the time comes?"

Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "It's difficult to sell chickens and ducks, that's because the people in the village can't breed enough."

"Moreover, the mountain people in the village have another problem: their opinions are always inconsistent.

Today Nazha wanted to go to the commune to sell chickens, but Zhamu was drunk and didn't want to go to the market.

Or someone went to Zhafan's house to buy and sell ducks.But Zhakuan's family was in a hurry to cross the boundary river to buy cigarettes."

Luo Xuan said: "This makes those Miaozu people who want to come to the stockade to collect chickens and ducks, they are not very happy, so they come to this stockade to do business."

Zhang Xiaoli asked, "Then Luo Xuan, how many chickens, ducks and geese do you plan to raise?"

Luo Xuan thought for a while, "You and I both majored in animal husbandry. And when we came out, we brought some veterinary medicine."

"So, I'm going to raise more. Now go to the stockade and buy a batch of chickens and ducks.

Raise as many as you can buy!Anyway, we are going to go to the mountains next, and reclaim our half of the mountain. "

Luo Xuan explained: "At that time, so many earthworms and ants can be used as feed for chickens and ducks.

If you raise too little, those high-protein feeds will be wasted. "

Zhang Xiaoli was a little worried, "But people in the village say that it is really not easy for them to sell chickens and ducks for cash."

Luo Xuan shook his head, "That's themselves, setting up obstacles for themselves. So now, almost no one is willing to come to the stockade to buy chickens and ducks."

Seeing Luo Xuan's confidence, Zhang Xiaoli stopped talking.

Instead, he put down the work at hand, took Na Zhudi and Na Mu to the stockade, and bought chickens and ducks wantonly.

She didn't even have to ask Luo Xuan for the cost of buying chickens and ducks.

Zhang Xiaoli has many sisters and brother-in-laws.

When she came out to jump in line, people in the family sponsored her a lot of money.

Zhang Xiaoli, this person,

She is actually very indifferent to money.

In addition to this money, Luo Xuan is used to do business.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoli was very willing to take out her private money to buy chickens and ducks in the stockade.

According to Luo Xuan's plan:
If you raise chickens and ducks yourself, things will be easier after you reach a certain scale.

Or just work harder on your own, take these chickens and ducks to the commune, and sell them for a few days.

The chicken and duck can always be sold out.

There is another way:
It is to negotiate the price and agree on the time in advance with those economically minded peddlers.

When they come over, they will buy this batch of chickens and ducks at once.

Luo Xuan really didn't believe it: he had poultry and livestock, how could he not sell them for money?
It's just a matter of price, and the difference between time and time.

But the situation in the stockade is quite different from my own.

It's a little special over there.

Just because of those people in the stockade, they are too free and undisciplined!

And all of them belong to the ox, they are so stubborn! !
Miao Zuren with a bit of a business mind, others finally found time to travel to the village.

Buy chickens and ducks at the price of 2 yuan and 1 cents.

As a result, this company is often willing to sell 5.

That family did have chickens and ducks to sell, but at this time, the man of his family did not know where he went.

the man is not at home,
Matters involving money.The so-called hostess of their family cannot be the master.

It is even an exaggeration: there are some women of the upper age.

She doesn't even know the denominations of 2 yuan and 5 yuan bills clearly.
And some people's male owners are at home, but think that the price of 2 yuan and 1 cents for a chicken is too cheap.

You have to insist on 2 yuan and 8
Even if the price of a chicken is 2 yuan and 1 cents, it was the price that the hawker had already agreed with the owner of the house last time.

It doesn't matter.

Turning your face and repenting is a common occurrence in the village, and no one will take him down
Over time,
Those humble traders are very unwilling to come to this stockade to buy poultry and livestock.

This has resulted in the current vicious circle situation:
The chickens and ducks in the mountain people's homes are getting bigger every day, but the growth rate is getting slower and slower.

Eat more, grow less meat,
It's really not worthwhile to continue to raise it.

But if you want to turn all these chickens and ducks into cash, those peddlers who buy chickens and ducks are not willing to come to the stockade to do business.

If they work harder on their own, they can sell it on Commune Street.

Back and forth, there will be a two-day delay.

We have to walk 70 miles of mountain roads.

During the rush, the mountain people even risked their lives to walk through the deep mountains and old forests.
In the end, I sold 3 or 5 chickens and ducks for 10 to 8 yuan.

to be frank,
This little money is not enough for them to buy cigarettes and rice noodles.
So it's been a long time,
Those people in the stockade didn't bother to bring the few chickens and ducks in the house to the commune to sell.

After working hard for two days, I ran to the commune and had to sleep in the open for one night.

As a result, the chickens and ducks were gone, and the money was gone.
Draw a yarn? !
The current situation is not to blame for those hawkers who are unwilling to buy chickens and ducks.

It can't be blamed on the people in these villages: after all, it takes them two days to go back and forth to the commune.

Isn't it normal to spend 7 or 8 yuan for such a hard work?
So they have chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cattle on hand.

But the family couldn't get it out, even 1 yuan in cash.
this situation,
What is... what's wrong?

Taking advantage of Zhang Xiaoli and Na Zhudi, they went to the stockade to buy chickens and ducks.

Luo Xuan went to the mountain to chop it back. The branches of a few big trees were used as handles for the hoe.

"Don't make it so long."

Nali saw the wooden stick that Luo Xuan cut down, which was a full 1 meters.

Quickly stopped and said, "Whose hoe do you see, it will be so long?"

People here like to use short hoe handles, which are 5 or 60 cm long.

It takes a lot of effort to dig the ground with this short hoe.

And it's very costly.

But here, they are such a habit.

Luo Xuan made a longer hoe, but Nali and Huahua were not used to it.

You have to cut it short.

"Only by deep plowing, shallow planting and frequent weeding can the crops grow well."

Luo Xuan began to try to give Na Li a change of mind, "Use a short hoe to dig the ground, and the soil you dug up will be very shallow, just the top layer of soil."

"And if you want to make the soil more fertile and dig out all the grass roots, you have to use a long hoe to dig deeper into the soil."

Luo Xuan explained, "Like grass roots, you don't dig them out to dry them in the sun. Before the crops grow, the weeds will grow taller than the crops."

"in spite of!"

Nali pouted, "For thousands of years, this is how we have cultivated the land. Just dig a hole and scatter the rice seeds into the ground."

Luo Xuan pointed to the upland rice on the mountain, "Based on your planting method, the yield of upland rice per mu is 5 to 60 catties, do you think it's pretty good?"

"No matter! Anyway, we have always farmed like this."

Na Mu is also a stubborn donkey, "Besides, we don't care how many acres of land we have. We mean how many bags of grain our family has harvested this year."

"Uh"

so stubborn? !

Teaching by hand, enlightening in person, or still going its own way and refusing to repent?
The people in the stockade here, every household planted half of the hill.

a hill,
Not to mention more, there are still hundreds of acres of mountainous land.

only,
They generally only develop part of it.The rest of the places are left there growing wild trees and weeds.

On average, 10 catties of rice seeds are spent on one mu of land, and 5 to 60 catties of upland rice are returned as a result. This is the normal state of farming here.

But mountain people,

But he doesn't carefully calculate the ratio of output to input like Luo Xuan did.

They only look at the total amount of grain harvested: this year I planted a quarter of the hill and harvested 15 bags of rice.
Oh, enough for my family to eat for half a year.

Blessed by the mountain god, it is good that this year's upland rice has not been cleansed by wild boars and voles.

Thanks for the blessing of the mountain god!

"go!"

Luo Xuan pulled Nali up and walked into the room, "I want to see, who will give in first today?"

How the mountain people farm the land is beyond their control.

But the piece of land behind my house will be the "agricultural demonstration garden" of the Laku production team in the future.

Luo Xuan planned to plant a little something famous on the 2 mu of land, so as to serve as a "pioneering model" for the mountain people.

Now that I use words, I can't convince Na Li in front of me.

Then use practical actions to teach her to be obedient!
so hot
