Farming and teaching across different worlds

He will follow Ji Xiuran to the study.

Ji Xiuran started his morning class, while he was reading some interesting books that Ji Xiuran gave him.

Ji Xiuran had read some survival skills in the wild from the book of memory.

In particular, get directions, identify edible and poisonous plants, find water sources, etc., and a few pictures of outdoor tents and sleeping bags.

Ji Xiuran thought it was very useful, so he wrote it down, and drew a schematic diagram of the picture, and gave it to Shi Jingchen.

Shi Jingchen has been studying these things for the past few days.

In the morning of early winter, it was cold outside, but warm inside like spring. The two of them shared a room, quiet and harmonious.

It feels like the years are flowing quietly and slowly.

Chapter 30

Except for being a teaching assistant, Shi Jingchen takes the villagers to prepare the land at other times.

The wasteland and hilltops that Ji Xiuran bought before will be cleared out during this slack season.

That piece of wasteland is famous for its thin land, before the people in the village were unwilling to open up wasteland there, so when they heard that Ji Xiuran bought this piece of land, they all felt that Ji Xiuran was stupid.

But Ji Xiuran has his own plan.Although the wasteland is thin, it is cheap, and it is big enough for him to toss about.

He asked Shi Jingchen to lead people to open up ten acres of land, level five acres, spread evenly with a mixture of plant ash and fermented powder washing water, then plow it deeply once, put it there, and wait for the next spring to plant corn.

The other five acres were also fertilized and plowed deeply, and four acres of land were planed into a long row, which was used to grow sweet potatoes next spring, and the last one was reserved for nothing.

He wants to use these few acres of land to experiment with new planting methods.

In this era, crops are planted without fertilization, seedlings are not raised, and the spacing is not particular. When to sow is passed down orally from generation to generation. It really depends on the sky.

Ji Xiuran is not good at farming, but he used to farm with his family when he was young.

I still know some common sense, but he just said that his planting method can increase the yield, and people will not believe him rashly.

Moreover, the farmers are very cautious about the things in the field. It is better to talk about the facts instead of talking about it. When he uses the new method to grow results, these farmers will naturally follow him to learn.

After finishing the matter of the ten acres of land, he asked Shi Jingchen to take someone to inspect the mountain carefully, to find out what vegetation grew on the mountain.

Ji Xiuran looked at the last distribution map drawn by Shi Jingchen, and made a preliminary development plan for the hilltop.

He wants to grow fruits on this mountain, and the wild raspberries and yellow paozi that grew on the mountain before are left behind.

In order for these plants to grow better, the wild fruit trees were pruned and cut to expand the planting area, and the remaining unnecessary trees were cut down.

Shi Jingchen found wild fruit trees from Daqing Mountain and planted them on the mountain. In addition, Ji Xiuran asked Zeng Junhui to bring a message, asking him to help find some fruit saplings.

In this way, a whole mountain of fruit trees will be planted, and when spring comes, the whole mountain will be covered with flowers of various colors. At that time, you can also enjoy the flowers.

When he did all this, he didn't avoid those students, and even asked them to help him keep records.

The fertilizer he used was created by himself, and he couldn't guarantee whether it would be effective.

However, plant ash is a common fertilizer used by farmers, and powder washing water, like rice washing water, can also be used as fertilizer after fermentation.

These two things can work alone, maybe mixed together, there will be unexpected effects.

He is also testing the ratio of deployment, so these people still need to write down the specific data.

What he wants to teach them is not just a few simple data, but the spirit of experimentation. Recording experimental steps and data is a habit that must be developed.

He wants to cultivate a group of helpers who can turn the ideas in his mind into reality through experiments in the future.

Among these few people, Zhao Shan was the most outstanding. His character is to imagine boldly and try bravely, so he is very suitable for research.

And he has a flexible mind, which can be seen from the fact that he can figure out the shrimp cage by himself.

Ji Xiuran is also very optimistic about him, and when he has questions, he is very patient and answers them in detail.

One month later, the learning enthusiasm of the adult class has not diminished but increased, and their learning progress is also very fast, and they have learned both Chinese characters and calculations very well.

Those who waited and watched also started to act, and soon the adult class ushered in a wave of new students.

Ji Xiuran didn't slow down the progress for this group of people, but asked Zhao Shan's old classmates to teach these new students their previous knowledge.

These old students have experienced the addiction of being teachers, and they have no complaints.

After dinner in the evening, the Ji family was sitting in the yard, chatting and digesting food.

Although it has already entered winter, Qingshan Village is located at the southern end of Daxia, and the temperature is relatively high. This season is still a little dry.

After the sun went down, it was just right to sit in the yard, and it was neither too cold nor too hot.

A few people were talking when they heard someone calling at the door, "Is Brother Ji there?"

As soon as the voice fell, I saw someone coming in from the door.

"Village chief, why do you have time to come to me? Have you eaten yet? How about I ask the child's mother to make some more dishes, and we brothers can have a drink."

When the Ji family saw that it was the village head, they all stood up to greet the guests, and Ji's father enthusiastically invited the village head into the house.

"Don't be so busy, I came here to eat. I have something to ask you this time, and it happens that Xiu Ran and Er Niu are also staying to listen." The village chief said after entering the door and sitting on a chair in the lobby.

Mother Ji hurried out to boil water and make tea.

Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen heard that the village head would keep them, so they took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the lower stool.

The village chief drank his tea and said, "Winter is here now. We used to organize the villagers to go winter hunting at this time in previous years. This year it was postponed a bit, and now we can't postpone it anymore. I came today just to talk to you.

The day after tomorrow, people in our village will go to the mountains for winter hunting, and every family has to send out people. Your family has two people in previous years. Although this year is separated, I think it is the first year, so we will follow the rules of previous years. "

When Ji Xiuran heard about winter hunting for the first time, he was a little confused.

Shi Jingchen explained a few words to him in a low voice.

In order to prevent the animals on the mountain from going down the mountain to attack the villagers without food in winter, people are organized to go up the mountain to round up those large beasts in the first month of winter every year.

On the one hand, it is for the safety of the villagers in winter, and on the other hand, it is also to improve the food in the village so that they can have a good year.

Every year, the village will organize, even if they don't organize, Shi Jingchen and the others will go up the mountain by themselves.

After all, the prey is the fattest at this time, and it is best to sell it for money.

After the busy season of farming is over, the four grown-up men of the Ji family will take the young men from the village to hunt in the mountains, making a good fortune, supplementing the family, and having a good year.

However, after Ji Xiuran came here this year, he made so many things and made a lot of money.

Ji's family and the few families in the village who followed Ji's father and son up the mountain before have moved a lot. They don't have to go to the mountain to fight their lives, and they can live a good year.

Therefore, after the busy season of farming, they didn't go into the mountains. If they didn't go into the mountains, other people would not dare to act freely. In the past year, they didn't know how the prey on the mountains had become flooded.

For the safety of the village, this winter hunting is imperative.

Shi Jingchen's hands itched when he thought of hunting.

This period of time has been busy with other things, only occasionally wandering around a few hills outside Daqing Mountain, hunting some pheasants and rabbits, and it has been a long time since I went into the deep mountains to hunt some big guys.

Father Ji would participate every time before, and upon hearing that, he was eager to try, but now that he was getting older, his family members did not agree with him to take the risk, so he had to give up resentfully.

After discussion, this time, the Ji family asked Shi Jingchen and Brother Ji to go.

Although they know that they are capable of protecting themselves, they still need to make some preparations before setting off.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Xiuran took Shi Jingchen to the town to do some shopping because he couldn't attend class.

The time is too short, so I can only pick up what I need the most.

I bought three big pieces of oilcloth, and asked them to spread one piece on the ground when they went to the woods to build a floor, and the rest could be built on a wooden frame.

This can prevent moisture and keep warm.

Although they had obtained the blueprints of tents and sleeping bags before, the two of them did not expect to use them so soon, and they had no preparations, so they could only make do with tarpaulins.

Then I went to the pharmacy to buy some wound medicine and deworming medicine.Although Zhou Langzhong from the village would also follow,

But the stock of wound medicine is also limited, and it will be bad if there is not enough.

Anyway, they are all here, buy some and take them with you, just to be prepared.

This time for winter hunting, half of the whole village was dispatched, and most of the students in the adult class were going, so Ji Xiuran took advantage of the opportunity to give them a holiday.

On the first day of walking, at night, Ji Xiuran was suddenly not used to the fact that there was one person missing while sleeping, and he tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day, when I woke up, my spirits were not good. After practicing calligraphy in the study, I felt a little sore on my shoulders, but there was no big hand that came over to massage myself to relieve my fatigue.

Sitting at the desk, reading the book for a long time, picked up the teacup, only to find that the tea poured earlier was already cold, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

It turned out that Shi Jingchen's meticulous care had penetrated into every aspect of his life. When he was not around, he felt that everything was wrong.

It was only when Ji Xiuran was distracted in class again that he realized with a headache that things were a bit complicated.

Rubbing his face, he pulled himself together, took out the stones he brought back from Dashi Village, and began to study them.

He needs to find something to do, otherwise he is always thinking about it.

This stone has been brought back for a while, and I was busy with other things before, and I forgot about this stone.

Just now free, take it out, measure
