Carrying the Ba Zong's child to farm

Zhao Danshi's family didn't have many fields, a total of more than seven acres, and they were more scattered. Three acres were near the stream, two and eight acres were near the foot of the mountain, and one more mu was on the mountain. It was a terraced field opened by the Zhao family before.

After so many years, the terraced fields have been plowed early, and the fertility is not bad.

Zhao Shanshi took Li Ping to look around, "Senior brother, I feel that our land is still a little short, and I want to rent a few more acres to make up fifteen acres."

The young and strong who stay in the countryside to farm, at least they have to plant [-] to [-] mu.Zhao Shanshi thought that he and Li Ping were novices, and they had to carry around, so he didn't dare to make more kinds of things.More than ten acres is almost enough. If you are too busy, you can hire someone in time.

Li Ping had no objection, "Which field do you like?"

"Just that piece of land," Zhao Danshi pointed to the stretch of land in the distance, "It's better to be connected with our field. I have to go to the village with my grandfather to ask if they will rent it." .”

After watching the land, Zhao Shanshi and Li Ping walked home side by side, talking about their plans, "I mainly want to grow cucumbers, beans, eggplants, peppers, sweet potatoes and water spinach for vegetables in the past six months, and corn, soybeans and sweet potatoes for food. For fruits, strawberries and watermelons, except for soybeans and sweet potatoes, can be planted in six to seven cents of the field. I still can’t find sales channels, and if I plant too many, I may not be able to sell them.”

In fact, it doesn't really matter if it can't be sold, there is also Baoyuan on the Watchman.However, if it is sold to Watchman, Zhao Shanshi will not get the money, and the deposit will only be withdrawn, and it may become less and less in the future.

Li Ping asked: "Most of these things are sown in spring, will it be too late?"

"If it's too late, ask someone to help." Zhao Shanshi smiled at Li Ping, "These two months will definitely be very tiring, and I'm afraid Grandpa will have to worry about going around."

Li Ping didn't mind being tired, but he was afraid that Zhao Shanshi wouldn't be able to recoup his money.

Zhao Shanshi is not worried about this, "It's okay, I mainly take the high-end route for this batch of vegetables and fruits, and I will definitely not lose money, it just depends on how much I earn."

The two made a report specifically for the things they planted, listing the crops they want to grow one by one: those that need water, those that are afraid of waterlogging, those that need fertile soil, and those that are best in sand... , Ask the old man for advice, and after checking the relevant information on the Internet, it is clearly listed.

They also listed the time for sowing and fertilizing each crop, so as not to worry about the end when they are really busy.

The old man looked at it strangely, "It's really different for you cultural people to plant land, and even the harvest is expected on that day."

"We'll just make a rough calculation, so that we don't have to prepare anything and mess up our hands and feet." Zhao Danshi smiled at the old man, "Grandpa, don't you know how to watch Qing? When the time comes, you can help us plan When will the items be received, we will revise them according to the form.”

The old man roughly glanced at the list they listed, and said: "Your list of vegetables is wrong. Some of these vegetables grow early. For example, this cucumber will be harvested one after another in two and a half months in less than three months." The same is true for watermelons, with enough fertilizer, you can eat melons in [-] days."

Zhao Danshi followed the old man's instructions and added notes one by one.

DouDou woke up, waving his hands and feet to finish the rattle hanging on the basket, Zhao Danshi hurried over to check his diaper, and poured milk powder for him.

The old man asked, "Where's Li Ping?"

"He asked the plowman to plow the field."

Now that the spring sowing is ready, the plowmen are very popular, so Li Ping followed Brother Shaozi to invite them early in the morning.

The old man didn't ask any more questions, but Zhao Shanshi remembered, "Grandpa, what happened to the few acres of land we wanted to rent, are you letting go?"

"No answer yet. I think Lao Hui's house will not be rented to us. His grandson was born last year, and he might raise his grandson in a different way this year. I asked twice and he refused to answer."

Zhao Danshi felt a little regretful, "Forget it, it's the same when we rent other land. Grandpa, please hurry up and ask, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be too late."

"Okay, I'll hurry up." The old man stood up, "I'll chat with them now."

Fertilizer is indispensable for farming. Zhao Danshi and Li Ping have checked the information and consulted the old man. This year's fertilizer must be bought in advance, and a round of base fertilizer must be applied before planting.

After discussing with Li Ping, Zhao Danshi and Li Ping decided to mix chemical fertilizers with farmyard manure. The chemical fertilizers mainly used nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, boron and zinc fertilizers, while the farmyard manure consisted of plant ash and animal manure.

Zhao Danshi bought two truckloads of pig manure and one truckload of cow dung from the pig raisers in the village. Together with the old man, they mixed the manure with straw and fermented it, and it would be ready for use after a while.

In addition to these fertilizers, it is necessary to combine the special fertilizers and spiritual spring water provided by the Watchman to top-dress various plants together.

During this process, Overwatch gave a lot of advice.

The scanning function of the Watchman is a powerful tool for farming. What is lacking in the vegetables Zhao Danshi grows, and what is wrong, the Watchman can basically scan it out, so there is no need for Zhao Danshi to consult experts.With Watchman around, if there is any problem with the crops they grow, they can just prescribe the right medicine.

After Zhao Danshi and Li Ping settled down, they began to work according to the plan.

They are the first to process strawberries. Strawberry seeds need to be soaked in cold water and stored in the refrigerator at low temperature to pass the dormant period.Corn is not so early, and fruits such as eggplants and peppers must be planted first.

Farming was extremely tiring, and the two of them were too busy, so Zhao Danshi asked a few people from the village to help him plant all the things.

At the end of March, Ya Zimei came back from selling vegetables and caught a batch of chickens. She didn't catch many chickens, only about [-] chickens at a time.

It was only then that Zhao Shanshi realized that he could still raise chickens. The native chickens here are expensive, and can be sold for 15 to 18 yuan a catty. Yes, it will cost a lot of money to sell it at that time.

Raising chickens is not too troublesome. Zhao Dan knows that the mountain behind their house is the mountain forest allocated to the old man in the village.Zhao Shanshi plans to fence off an open space in the mountains, where he will raise chickens in the future. If they are free-range, he can feed them with some rice and other things every day.

Chickens are more honest than ducks, and they generally don't run around. As long as they are here, they will stay there forever if they get used to it. If they don't encounter thieves, they will be fine.

Thieves may also be encountered, but Zhao Shanshi is not worried. Even if he encounters a thief, he will have to wait until it is almost grown. A chicken that has just been raised for three months is so small that no one bothers to steal it.

Besides, there is a very fierce big wolf dog Dahei in their house. When Dahei is watching, thieves should not dare to approach this area.

Now that he has raised chickens, Zhao Danshi originally wanted to raise pigs, and raising pigs is not too troublesome, as long as there is enough feed every day.

Everyone here knows how to grow rice, and then the rice is said to be sent to the town for milling. After milling the rice, there will be bran, and the bran is not expensive. Go to the river to catch some aquatic plants, go to the fields to get some pig vegetables, and keep the leaves of the usual vegetables as feed, so they should be raised easily.

It happens that there is pig manure for raising pigs, and they need fertilizer for growing vegetables. The fermented pig manure is enough for their own use, and it saves pollution to the environment.

After listening to Zhao Danshi's plan, the old man disagreed, "Isn't it tiring for a day or two, or for three or five days? If this goes on for a long time, you and Li Ping will have to take care of the children and take care of the vegetable fields. What if my body is exhausted?"

The old man's attitude was too firm, Zhao Danshi thought for a while, and finally said: "Then I won't grow vegetables, I'll raise some fish. Who owns the big pond at the entrance of the village? I don't know if it will be rented. If so, ask if I can rent it. Rent it to me to raise fish."

"The village head's house, he shouldn't rent it. They have raised fish for so many years, and they are still raising it now. If you want to raise fish, we can dig a pond ourselves."

Zhao Danshi thought for a while, and felt that it would be more cost-effective to raise fish.

There are very few people in their village, and most of them have moved out of their household registrations. These fields are left unused, and the land in the village has become very abundant.Zhao Shanshi felt that if the application was typed up, the higher authorities would not reject it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Danshi and Li Ping simply invited the village chief to have a meal and listened to him.

Zhao Danshi's household registration is not here, but the old man's household registration is. His family has nothing to say about digging ponds. The village head will first let Zhao Danshi go through the procedure and write a written application. He will submit the application to the top. .If there is no accident, it will be approved within half a month.

Their village head is from the same ancestor as them, also surnamed Zhao, named Zhao Huayong. When he had a meal, he heard Zhao Shanshi talk about this, and he gave some advice, "Do you really want to stay at home and farm? It's okay to dig a pond now." It’s cheap, and you can’t get it for two or three thousand yuan. If you only plant land for one or two years, it’s better to rent a pond, which can greatly save costs.”

Zhao Danshi smiled, "I'd better dig a bite, even if I don't stay at home to farm in the future. Isn't my grandfather still around? Let him raise some fish, and we can eat it ourselves."

"Then how big is your pond going to be?"

"Just get a place with more than two acres, and it doesn't need to be too deep, half a meter to one meter will do."

Zhao Shanshi even thought about where to dig the pond, and there was a flat land behind them.

When the living conditions were not good before, the old man and the others opened up wasteland on that land, but the land was so barren that they couldn't even grow sweet potatoes.

After getting more land, the Zhao family abandoned the courier again. Zhao Danshi saw that the land was not far from the mountain spring, so it might not be convenient to use it for planting, but digging a pond is good.

The old man was worried that the water on the mountain might be a little colder. If the water was colder, the fish would not grow fast enough. If others raised them for a year, he would have to raise them for two years, but in the end they would not make much money.

Zhao Shanshi didn't care about such things.Although it has been raised for a long time, the fish raised in the mountain pond tastes good and can still be sold for a high price.In other words, even if there is no fruit in raising fish in the end, he can use this pond to raise ducks. At that time, the pond mud will be used to fertilize the field, and the ducks will be raised and sold for income.

Raising ducks is not too troublesome, as long as you pay attention to guard against theft, and then feed them three meals a day.

The village head had no objection, Zhao Shanshi thanked him, then went to Baidu to search for a related application, and wrote one seriously.
