Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Then plant rapeseed, which produces a lot of oil." Jia Dongxu said casually.

"Well, the autumn harvest is just over. Now that we have cattle, we can plow all the fields together and redistribute the land." Jia Zhenye said with a smile, "After we finish planting the rapeseed, we will continue to plant spinach and leeks."

"Dongxu, these all require fertilizer. Your farm must provide me with good fertilizer." Jia Zhenye said while sitting on the doorstep.

"Uncle, my second uncle will say later that you ran ahead of him!" Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"You should think about how to get some cattle as soon as possible. We can't keep using the cattle on the farm forever."

Jia Zhenye said with envy that with the arrival of cows in the past two days, the speed of land reclamation has also increased.

Some areas that originally required a lot of manpower were completed very quickly.

When Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang came over, they saw Jia Dongxu and the other man sitting at the door waiting.

"Sister-in-law, would you like to have dinner with us?" Jia Zhenye asked. "But we are building a house now, so we are all crowded in the greenhouse."

"Okay, let's go. We just met my second sister-in-law." Jia Zhang agreed.

"Uncle, did you forget to ask how the piglets are doing now?" Jia Dongxu just remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the young masters about raising them.

"The pig house was built yesterday. I went to take a look today and the little guys are all doing well." Jia Zhenye said with satisfaction.

"Also, I see those guys have already built seven or eight silage cellars. They really put a lot of effort into sealing them. Do you want to continue?"

"Let's get as much as we can. If I have nothing to do in the winter, I would like to go to the grassland and bring back some cows and horses." Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

There are actually only a few things taught in pig farms nowadays. Just remember them after they are taught and take a look at them when you have time.

As for the composting matter, we have already arranged for them. Jia Zhenye and his team also made some compost with feces and straw. These little piglets have been cleaned out and piled up separately in the past two days. We will see the results in a month.

Jia Dongxu thought that he didn’t need to do the specific things here himself, so he could go back in a few days?

"Uncle, how much surplus land do you think will be left after all the land is cultivated uniformly and then distributed?" Jia Dongxu thought for a while and asked, in our village, if we connect some corners and clear some woods, we will have about seven or eight acres of surplus land.

"Uh, it's not enough." Jia Dongxu thought about it. The yield of the material is green, and each acre of land can produce about 120 kilograms of oil, which is not enough at all. "It would be great if we could open up some more wasteland and use it to grow rapeseed."

"That's fine. After the emperor has finished opening up this area, we can also open up the mountain corner with Qinjia Village. It will be at least 40 acres of land."

If you have 40 acres of land, the oil you produce will be enough to supply the steel mill. Although the money you can earn from selling it is not as much as from growing vegetables, after September, you can make a lot of money by planting spinach and leeks.

"Well, let's build the house first!" Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"That's right. I'm not stupid. When they leave, we'll go and open up the wasteland." Jia Zhenye said with a smile, "Their farm occupies the same area as ours. It's a good thing for them to get familiar with how to open up the wasteland in advance."

"Well, how about we open up a few acres of land and grow some vegetables so that they can report to their superiors?"

Jia Dongxu said with a smile, and then the two, one big and one small, laughed at each other.

"Uncle, I'm going back to the city the day after tomorrow, so I can't help with things here." Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "It's just right to send the dishes to the city, and I'll take some dishes to send to some people."

"Okay, in that case, I'll pick more vegetables to ensure this week's supply. Starting next week, the quantity of vegetables will increase."

"Second uncle, the focus in the future should be on breeding. Let's leave the matters on the farm this way for now. If we start to reclaim wasteland, the village has limited manpower and we will be too busy to handle it." Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

"What do you mean there are not many people? The young men in the village have no land, so any amount of land is not too much. Look at how many people are occupied by raising pigs." Jia Zhenye glared at Jia Dongxu. If pig raising had not occupied the jobs of nearly 20 young men from the two villages, he would not have been so angry.

Jia Zhenye pointed to the pig house that had been built in the distance and asked, "See? Their family didn't know how to do it, so they built two houses next to the pig house and squeezed them together."

"That's because they have a long-term vision. Raising pigs can make a lot of money. In just a few years, the scale will be expanded. Just imagine it!" Jia Dongxu said with a smile. He really didn't expect so many people to want to raise pigs.

"I think they just want to be lazy!" Jia Zhenye said with a smile, "After they finish their work, they do nothing but hold the pig-raising book you wrote and talk about how to raise pigs. A few days ago, they asked me for money, saying they were going to buy salt for the pigs. They also said they were going to castrate the pigs, leaving two for breeding and casting the rest."

"Also, they cut the corn that was still starching into small pieces and boiled it for the pigs to eat, to see if the pigs would eat it."

Jia Dongxu said embarrassedly, "Well, uncle, let them do it. Those are the experiences of the pig farm. We should let them explore and let them raise 100 pigs each in the future."

"Oh my god, that means there are 2000 pigs, right?" Jia Zhenye said happily, "Okay, as long as they don't kill the pigs, they can do whatever they want."

Jia Zhenye thought for a while and said, "Okay, wait, I will set aside some land for them, plant corn, and let them chop corn stalks every day."

"If one acre of land is not enough, I will give them two acres of land."

"Hey, second uncle, you have to ask them to prepare two pigs for the New Year next year." Jia Dongxu also joined in the fun after hearing this.

"Go away, you are a factory manager who sells his father's land without feeling sorry. Two pigs are almost 2 yuan. You are willing to give them, but I am reluctant to take them."

Jia Zhenye rolled his eyes at Jia Dongxu, then took a few people to the open space of his new home and asked his wife to cook.

"Next year, if I can't even afford two pigs, I will drive them all to farm. I'm just kidding. Are I raising 2 sows for fun?" Jia Dongxu patted his chest and made the promise.

"If they don't produce 300 pigs for me by next year, I will have to use them all to farm and have someone else raise them!"

"300? Really?" Jia Zhenye said.

"Yeah, really!" Jia Dongxu thought about it.

"Uncle, by the end of next year, we will also select 30 piglets and return them to the pig farm, and take them to exchange ideas."

"Well, how about we go and have the discussion now?" Jia Zhenye suddenly said, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. It will be so frustrating if we don't have the technology when we need it!"

"Okay! The day after tomorrow, take half of it to study!"
