Chapter 259 Autumn Harvest

After Shi Hongda saw it, he was very surprised!

"This formula?" Shi Hongda looked a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, it's very easy to use." Yu Liangji gave a prescription for purifying urea by the way.

"Have you tried it?" Shi Hongda was puzzled.

"Of course!" I have done a lot of experiments before, so I know this without experimenting, and it will definitely work.

In fact, using purified urea, saponin powder and water at a ratio of 90.00:[-] to [-], after stirring and mixing, it can prevent aphids, red spiders, cabbage worms and other pests on fruit trees, vegetables, and cotton, and the insecticidal effect can reach [-]% %above.

Now, everyone knows, right?

In the first lunar month of that year, why did Yu Juren feel sick when Liu Wenxi said, "I ate the cucumber with the sauce without washing it"?

I also really admire the Zhang family's three-bedroom daughter-in-law!

Yu Juren told Shi Hongda the matter smoothly, which made Shi Hongda laugh a lot!

Urea was originally researched by Yu Juren, and he also wrote down the method of purification, so this formula is absolutely credible.

"Prevention before it happens is the best for the crops. It will be too late to kill the insects after they are born." Yu Liangji talked eloquently: "So prevention is more important than killing insects."

"What about killing insects?" This can only be prevented, can it be killed?

"If you want to kill insects, the effect is not very good, and the insect eggs are most suitable." Yu Liangji said with a smile: "If you want to kill insects, there are better things."

When it comes to killing insects, dimethoate and dichlorvos are more suitable than this, but the toxicity is too high, and he can't make it out to harm the green here. The most powerful insecticide is arsenic, but if arsenic is used, those crops will not be edible.

That's why she gave such a formula.

He thinks this is the most suitable for this era, this time and space.

"Okay, I'll come up. Your superiors haven't responded to your urea matter." Shi Hongda was a little anxious.

"This is a development in agriculture. Experiments also take time, not to mention the length of the experiment. There are many sayings about changing stubble, changing land, repeating cultivation, etc." Yu Liangji comforted him instead. For that little reward, he has a family property and doesn't use it much. He can save at least one thousand and at most two thousand a year.

Life was pretty good, and he didn't expect bonuses to live on, but to be honest, the initial bonus did give Yu Liangji confidence.

Shi Hongda wrote a secret letter all night. This thing is no different from an ordinary letter. After writing, it is sealed with wax. Second, he went to the county town on horseback. He finally passed it on. What's going on?How many years has it been?The urea thing is still there!

In fact, it was only two years, but he felt that it had been several years!

After he came back, he started to grow potatoes. Yu's family also planted potatoes, but there were very few of them. Yu Liangji specially divided a place for growing potatoes.

The land at the foot of the mountain is not counted as arable land, let alone opening up wasteland. It is just a field at the foot of the mountain, and the seeds are planted at the foot of the mountain. They don’t bother to water and fertilize. What is it like.

This kind of situation is very common, and the government also turns a blind eye and closes one eye, happy to let the common people eat and drink more, just such a small place, too lazy to measure, it is not easy for anyone, the imperial court also encourages farmers to open up wasteland appropriately, of course , under the premise of not affecting the environment.

I went back and took a look, hey!

Maybe the land master favored that soil. Although the father does not care for the mother, the fruit it produces is astonishing and eye-catching. There are a bunch of big potatoes, and there are several on each seedling. The round ones can weigh half a catty!

After Yu Liangji saw it, without saying a word, he picked out the potatoes that were suitable for planting, put them in a separate place, and told Shi Hongda: "Well, even if there are no potatoes, don't give me the idea of ​​eating them!"

"You want to keep the seeds?" Shi Hongda was also born in a peasant family, which can still be guessed.

"Not bad!" Yu Liangji patted his strong arm on tiptoe: "After several generations of survival of the fittest, you will get excellent potato seeds!"

This is a long-term war of resistance, because it can be planted once a year, and it cannot be replanted. Repeated planting will cause bugs, and insect control and killing are also troublesome.

For things like potatoes, after planting in one place, they have to be planted in another place the next year. If they are planted repeatedly, there will be aphid disease.

However, cultivating high-quality potatoes cannot be achieved in a short while. This is a long-term matter, and it will take at least ten years to see some results.

He knew that it took thousands of years for the potatoes of later generations to become so good, but it was not too late for him to start making them now. At least a few generations later, they would have high-quality potatoes to eat.

Yu Liangji insisted that his ideals should be realized with time.

The rush of autumn harvest is coming again. Many people are rushing to harvest crops in the fields, even Yu Liangji is no exception. He has no other work. For the first time, he wants to do something, and then everyone assigns him to... Watch the gate son!

This requires no effort, and everyone opens and closes the door by themselves. Xiao Juren only needs to look around on the watchtower mountain to see if there are any wild animals.

"So many people are busy working outside, where did the beast come from during the day?" Yu Liangji was very upset, this job was obviously the work of the old man and old lady.

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case." The old village head said very seriously: "Keep the gate well. Whose village is like ours? Ask people to guard the gate?"

Yu Liangji: "...!"

The autumn harvest only takes a few days, the longest is ten days, and the shortest is three days. If the time is too long, it will rain, especially in autumn. At this time, the crops are ripe. When it rains, all the crops will germinate.

Therefore, the autumn harvest is a race against time, trying to recover the crops before the autumn rain.

Yu Liangji's sorghum harvest was bumper, with an average yield of [-] catties per mu, and [-] catties of straw produced at the same time, which can be used as silage fodder.

Everyone in the Yu family was very happy, but Yu Liangji was not satisfied. At that time, the sorghum yield per mu did not exceed two thousand catties, and he was too embarrassed to go out to say hello!

Straw is not [-] catties, so embarrassed to say that this is silage feed?

It seems that there is still room for improvement!

Yu Liangji got into the sorghum pile, looked for big sorghum heads everywhere, and selected big sorghum seeds.

The sorghum in Yu’s family can already be threshed. In ancient times, threshing was done with stone rollers. The sorghum heap at Yu’s height took up a large area. Sorghum rice is packed in sacks, and such sorghum rice can be cooked directly to eat sorghum rice.

Shi Hongda didn't want to go through the process twice, so he directly threshed and peeled it together, but because he hired a lot of people, it was done very quickly.

When it was time to eat at noon, Liu Wenxi ran over: "My lord, have you seen my little lord?"

"No!" He was in charge of the sorghum threshing and dehulling here early in the morning. Because he was in a hurry, the whole family was mobilized, plus the hired manpower. Of course, the hired people this time were people from the village. , Earn hard money, but he really didn't notice Yu Juren very much, after all, he was in his own village, the gates were closed, and it was impossible for a wolf to snatch him away quietly!

Shi Hongda looked around: "It seems that he came here with me, but he didn't remember it later."

"Shout it!" Liu Wenxi couldn't do anything, a living person, where did he go?

"Yu Liangji? Yu Liangji, come out for me! It's time to eat!" Everyone else called Yu Juren, Shi Hongda thought what was wrong with him, he usually called "Yu Juren", but when he was in a hurry, he called him by his name.

After wailing for a long time, Yu Liangji crawled out of the sorghum pile with a sorghum head on his head!

"I'm here! I'm here!" Holding a small cloth bag in his hand, he hugged it tightly in his arms, digging and pedaling on the sorghum pile.

When he climbed up just now, he had a lot of energy, but when he came down he was frightened, it was too high!

Shi Hong stretched out his hand, dumbfounded, and took the person down. When Shi Hong yelled at him just now, many people heard it and looked this way!

Just saw this scene!

The old village head didn't even know what to say about him!

"What are you doing in there? We all thought you let the wolf take you away!" The old village head preached to Liangji unceremoniously.

How can you still act like a child when you are so big?

"I thought, get some seeds out, isn't this something I grow at home?" Yu Liangji pulled a long face, and he forgot the time as soon as he picked the seeds. If it wasn't for Shi Hong's loud voice, he wouldn't be able to hear the outside people talk.

"You!" Shi Hongda took off the things on his head: "Go back and wash your face, and change your clothes. It's time for lunch."

Because all the people employed are from the same village, this lunch is provided by the family, not to mention big fish and meat, but there is no shortage of meat and fish, and there is a stir-fried dried tofu with big slices of meat.

The sorghum rice of Yu's family was thrashed very quickly, and a total of more than 2 catties of grain and a lot of skins were harvested. The sorghum skins directly became the rations of the animals, and the silage fodder was enough for the animals in the family and more than enough for the winter. .

On the second day after the harvest, Yu Liangji asked Mrs. Huang to cook a meal with new sorghum rice: "Use new rice, all sorghum rice!"

"Understood, my little master!" Cook Huang brought a bag of new sorghum rice into the kitchen, along with some ingredients that she had prepared earlier.

Sorghum rice can be used for cooking and porridge.

In the hot summer season, putting sorghum rice in cold water is called "water rice".

In autumn, fresh cabbage leaves are used to wrap rice, scallions, coriander, bean paste, and shredded pork into a ball, which is called "caibao".

Put cowpeas in the rice and cook together, which is called "bean curd rice".

The sorghum rice is processed into noodles, kneaded into dough, rubbed on the Gege bean board into the boiling water pot, and it becomes "Gege bean".

Sorghum can also be used to make wine and sugar, and even sorghum stalks can be turned into silage fodder, and the roots can be dug out and used as firewood.

What I ate at noon today was fresh sorghum rice with vegetable buns. Yu Liangji ate three vegetable buns and still couldn’t get enough of it. Shi Hongda was so frightened that he quickly stopped: "Eating at night, I will eat at night!"

"It smells so good!" Yu Liangji touched his bulging stomach, a small piece protruded from his slender body.

Shi Hongda unconsciously stretched out his hand and touched it: "I won't dare to eat like this next time."

What if something goes wrong?

And this is not a good dish or meal, just a little shredded pork, which is still lean. Yu Liangji can't eat fatty shredded pork, and the bean paste is also beaten with eggs. Shi Hongda is not picky about eaters, but he also thinks, This is an ordinary meal, worthy of less than Juren's liking?

But thinking about Yu Liangji's taste, I really can't tell. He seems to really like this kind of light and rough food!

August will soon come to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the harvest is almost complete. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a reunion festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to pick mushrooms and hunt in autumn.

On the tenth day of August, Shi Hongda went to Fucheng, the reason was to give a gift to Mr. Fuyin, that is Fang Yangcheng who had been promoted.

Originally, Yu Liangji felt that he was far away, so if he didn't give it away, he wouldn't have given it away. Who knew that it was only one day after the May Festival, and they sent him a gift, which made them scramble to prepare a return gift. I have to go and have a look first.

In fact, Shi Hongda also wanted to ask, what is the meaning of what Yu Juren offered?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Liangji still didn't go to Zhangjia Village, but he was sent a generous gift, and Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were also brought back.

It's not very thick, but it means that the two families have not lost contact.

When Yu Liangji was still fourteen, he went to the county with Shi Hongda to visit the old mountain chief, the county magistrate, and the Zhou and Wang families.
