Love delays my farming

It has been a whole year since Chu Yao came to this island. From the beginning, he just had a playful attitude, and prepared to leave anytime, anywhere anyway. Now he finds that life is actually okay. .

Although the expenditure is indeed a lot, the income is still there.Comparing the two, there is no food, rent, car, and entertainment expenses, so there is still some surplus after calculation.Of course, the surplus basically comes from the contribution of Boss Zhuang. That guy really eats the food here, and he also raised the price of some vegetables, and hopes that Boss Chu can grow a little more in the coming year.

After all, it is really uncomfortable to tell him about the limit every time I eat delicious food.Not to mention the supply of restaurants, it is a bit stretched to supply their own relatives and friends.Especially rice and glutinous rice, the taste is so delicious, the problem is that there are few plants, and people can hardly eat enough for themselves, so why would they want to supply them.

So when Chu Yao asked him if he could buy two small agricultural machines, Boss Zhuang almost jumped up from his chair in excitement.

"Are you finally planning to expand the planting???"

Chu Yao exclaimed, and said: "Manpower is too tiring. My brother Niu was very tired last year, and he is not willing to talk to me this year. And most of last year was land reclamation, so there is no way to use agricultural machines, right? I plan to use the ones that were developed last year. I'm thinking about planting rice. My family's rice is half gone, and it's just the end of the new year."

He really didn't plan to make too much before, he thought it was enough to eat.But after learning about his "identity" and the identities of the bosses, he knew that it was impossible for him to leave this island and walk away.The bosses can put down their bodies to help him with the work, so it should be right for him to acquire a few more acres of land to support the boss and himself.

This year, he asked Village Chief Kang to continue to help him raise seedlings. He made up his mind to plant eight acres of rice, of which six acres were planted with two crops of rice, and the other two acres were planted with one crop of glutinous rice.These eight acres of land are the few acres that were developed last year. In addition to planting rice, wheat, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn, and soybeans were also planted before. Corn and soybeans are all land-growing crops, and the wasteland can be quickly matured.After the sweet potato has been dug, it is equivalent to a deep plow, and it can be used to grow some fine crops.

These eight acres of land are basically connected, and it is convenient to open canals and divert water for irrigation.However, winter wheat is planted in two acres of them, and rice must be planted after soaking the ground after harvesting the wheat.

He also plans to grow some miscellaneous grains, millet and yellow rice, and various beans this year.There are also more varieties of corn, sweet corn and waxy corn, and they can be fed to chickens if they can't finish them.The peacock in the chicken coop has also grown quite big, and the male peacock is quite good at fighting. One night, a weasel got in from nowhere and was pecked bloody by the little peacock. In the hands of Xiao Hei and a group of puppies, he became the target of teasing, and finally had to lose his tail to escape.

Chu Yao was also worried that this thing with a strong sense of revenge would recruit gangs to come to revenge, but later felt that he was thinking too much.There are several big bosses living in the chicken coop, so we can't let the weasel take advantage of it.

When the small agricultural machinery arrived, it was also when Professor He brought people here.At the same time, the busy farming in the village also started.

If there is a machine, use the machine, if there is no machine, use the scalper.There were about a dozen more young people in the village, and the youngest son of Village Chief Kang didn't leave. He rolled up his sleeves and planned to take his wife to do some business in the village.Although there are many opportunities in the city, they are reserved for the rich.He has no money and no way out, and his education level is not high, let alone fooling around. Why don't he come back and take advantage of Chu Yao's side, and maybe he can make a lot of money.

His wife is also quite willing, and women may prefer to settle down, especially pregnant women.Going out to work for three or four thousand a month seems to be better than living in the village, but she misses her family and her baby.After I came back, I decided to raise quails together. This thing is not difficult to raise. It is a way out to sell meat, eggs or eggs.

More importantly, I can see my own children.

Professor He didn't come to the island. After all, the people on the island don't need his help to help the poor.He lived in an empty house in the village. This house used to be occupied by people. Later, the old man left and the young people went out and basically never came back. The house was easy to break down when it was empty, so he rented it to Professor He and the others.

Speaking of renting, the rent is only 1000 yuan a year, and this money still includes water and electricity.To put it bluntly, let them help to look at the house.

The house has been tidied up, the broken windows have been replaced with new glass, and the walls are covered with white rice paper bought from the town instead of newspapers.The kang was also burned twice, and all the bugs that had been hiding in it for the past two years were burned to death. New mats were replaced, wool felt was spread, and people could sleep in the kang cabinet.

They really welcome educated people like Professor He to come over. These people are their hope!

After taking a rest for a day, Professor He took the students to survey the terrain on the nearby hillside.

It is also a science to want to mix and free-range poultry.The place should be large so that the birds can run and hide.Plants should be scattered, preferably with more berry bushes, so that it is convenient for birds to find food by themselves, or fly to short trees to rest.Moreover, the water source must be guaranteed, so that it is convenient to pull the isolation net and it is convenient for people to check.

In particular, there are many snakes and weasels on the mountain, which is the focus of prevention.Dogs are a must, and you can also raise a few geese that are full of combat effectiveness.As for the peacock, Professor He does not recommend the villagers to raise it for the time being. One is that the growth cycle of the peacock is long, and the other is that the meat quality is average. Either the whole thing is sold for money, or the tail feathers are sold alone.Moreover, peacocks can fly much more than quails and chickens. They flap their wings and fly to other places, and it is difficult to find them back.

Poultry that can be short, flat, fast and economical for a long time is the best.

"Quail is a good thing." Professor He first held a small meeting for the nearby villagers who wanted to raise quail to publicize the benefits of quail. "The meat is delicate, nutritious and easy to absorb. It is suitable for both the elderly and children." It is a kind of poultry that nourishes the body. The Savi quail you are raising now is actually a meat quail, which is usually killed after [-] to [-] days. But because of special reasons here, you can also use meat Eggs are raised with quail.

"This kind of quail is big, more than twice the size of ordinary quail, and the eggs are also big. The white color is also good-looking. I think it is very popular with many people in the town, and they are willing to buy it home and raise eggs. This It’s a good thing. Not only can you eat the quail eggs of the previous year, but after one year they don’t like to lay eggs and are eliminated, you can also kill and eat meat. Quail manure can be used to grow flowers and vegetables on the balcony, so it can be said that nothing is wasted. But quails are free-range But it is more troublesome. Everyone who has raised quail for so long can know that this thing is afraid of people, and it will affect the laying of eggs when it is frightened. More importantly, they can fly and run away in groups! Therefore, in terms of protection, we must Work hard!"

It is a bit wasteful to raise quail in a greenhouse, but you can build a protective wall with a height of [-] cm to [-] meter, and you can use bricks or stones.Fix a steel bar every few meters or circle a tree to pull the net.The enclosed area can be planted with bushes bearing wild fruits. In addition to being edible, it can also provide shelter from wind and rain and provide a place for quail to hide.Although this is not suitable for brooding and laying eggs in cold weather, it can guarantee most of the original ecological mode of free-range and mixed breeding, which has become the most suitable selling point.

As for selling quail or wanting to lay eggs in winter, that's easy, just grab some and bring them into the house to raise them. Anyway, sales in winter are relatively low.

However, if the village wants to raise them like this, it is not easy to take the male quail to Chu Yao to exchange for the female quail like before.But there is a cold storage in the village, so they can pick out the grown male quail, kill them, freeze them, and transport them to the town or further away to sell them fresh.

Fresh food sales require a certificate, but the Poverty Alleviation Office has already agreed to this matter. As long as it is done, this certificate will be issued immediately.

Taoyuan Village has never been so busy, but everyone is high-spirited.

"Cold-chain vehicles?" Village Chief Kang looked at his youngest son, "Where is this? Why are you buying cold-chain vehicles? If you have that money, go and buy some bricks, can't you buy some protective nets?"

"Oh, Dad!" Kang Huifu said, "It's better to start first. Let's buy it first, and others will stop buying after seeing it. From now on, vegetables and eggs can be shipped in that car in the village. Even if it's delayed, don't be afraid of wilting, right?"

Village Chief Kang sneered, and said, "How many eggs and vegetables do you have here? Do you need to buy a special car to serve it? You can pull it off, and it's useless to make some money. If someone knows the country, he will help transport the goods." Well, you’ve done a good job, and they will be happy if you intervene? Besides, the vegetables in our village are not sold out, and all the vegetables they ship are from the island, and they have signed an agreement."

Kang Huifu said: "Then, then I'll take the fish out and sell it? The fish in our lake is so fat and so good. If you can't transport it out, you can dry the fish and eat it. What delicious food can there be? If you have a car, you can go out." Luckily, are you afraid you won’t be able to sell it?”

Village Chief Kang clicked his tongue and said, "Then who is fishing? You go fishing every day? Where do you sell a carload of fish? I said, second child, you have enough, so you can't settle down and take care of it first." Do all the work and then think about other things? Look at Xiao Chu, children from big cities can do farm work steadily, why don’t they buy cold chain vehicles? They also transport vegetables out all day long.”

It's Xiao Chu again!Kang Huiguo felt that his father had been poisoned by the name Xiao Chu, so he opened his mouth and shut up Xiao Chu Xiao Chu.He also took a closer look that day, and found that the guy named Chu Yao didn't have big heads and six arms. He looked handsome at most, not as white as the people in the city, and his hair was tied in a pigtail, like a blind girl.But the blind man next to him was quite good-looking, which provoked a group of little girls in the village to secretly take pictures, but I don't know why the pictures were either false or without a straight face, which is a pity.

Chu Yao sneezed, and squatted by the fence of his house to look at the budding flowers and plants, "Grandpa, these seedlings have sprouted, can they be transplanted?"

In order to be able to branch quickly, many flowers and plants either choose rootstocks for grafting, or choose cuttings, or choose pressed seedlings.Pressing seedlings is to bury a long section of flowering rattan in the soil and press it down with stones. After burying it for a winter, the exposed place will sprout in the next year, and the buried place will take root, and then it can be transplanted. .

Some of the flower seedlings that Professor He gave to Chu Yao for free need to be transplanted in this way, mainly because Chu Yao is a careful, educated young man who can take care of these things.

He was right, the seedlings that were pressed back then have all begun to take root now.
