Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 14 Pesticides and Fertilizers
Jiang Defu originally wanted to discuss his matter with Zhang Guilan with the second uncle that day, but was stopped by Jiang Decai.

"I told the second uncle that I will discuss this matter with you. He has a tough temper. If you go to him now, I am worried that he will beat you up..."

Jiang Decai looked helpless.

Third brother and Zhang Guilan voted two to one to decide whether they would change from husband and wife to brother and sister. He was not good enough or dared not insist on it, so he could only let them do it for now.

Now the third brother wants to go directly to the second uncle.

Thinking about the second uncle's bad temper, he had watched them grow up. His father had listened to him earlier, and if he didn't listen, he might get beaten.

What the third brother Jiang Defu did, it would be strange if the second uncle didn't beat him up!

He suggested that Jiang Defu take his time before talking about the matter, and not rush things.

Jiang Defu also thought about it:
The second uncle is just an external auxiliary. As long as the family's affairs are resolved in his own family, it's basically OK.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed.

Resolving emotional issues is only the first step.

Jiang Defu feels that the most important thing for the current plan is to solve the family's economic and food problems.

After two previous trips to the town, Jiang Defu had given up the idea of ​​improving his family's conditions externally and making a fortune.

Not to mention that the higher authorities do not encourage the commodity economy, even if it is encouraged, it is actually a problem.

The reason is simply that supplies are in short supply!
You can’t buy anything with money!

Yes, it might be better in a big city, but in a town you can't buy anything with money.

In the past few years, prices have been inflated and money has become worthless. Many people in towns and villages no longer believe in money. Nowadays, barter is more common among the people.

Yes, barter is currently the mainstream in towns and villages.

When I met Cong Wei earlier, during the conversation, Cong Wei also mentioned that the countryside pays attention to barter exchange, and many things in their work are not very convenient to deal with.

They are working on this matter so that the currency circulating in the cities becomes popular in the countryside as well.

According to the historical memories learned in previous lives, the first set of banknotes has now officially taken root in the city and become mainstream, and the next step is the countryside.

For rural areas, as long as people's necessities such as tax grains, cloth, and salt are exchanged for currency, banknotes will slowly spread.

But this requires a process, at least one or two years.

During this period of time, if he wants to lead his family to live a good life, he must focus on farming and self-sufficiency. Having enough to eat is the biggest problem that needs to be solved.

The house was tidied up, Zhang Guilan was doing laundry at home, and Jiang Defu followed Jiang Decai to the fields to see how the seedlings were growing.

Because most of the surrounding areas are mountainous, there are few large fields in the village.

The three members of the Jiang family have three acres of fertile land, one mu for each person.

As for other fields, they are cultivated by themselves in slightly flat areas on the mountains.

The plot of land is small and the location is not good, so the harvest depends on the weather. I can only harvest three walnuts and two dates. Sometimes I can’t even take care of the seeds.

Therefore, the reclaimed wasteland is generally used to grow sweet potatoes.

Jiang Defu asked Jiang Decai about the current grain harvest.

Wheat yield is the lowest, with an acre of land weighing just over 200 kilograms. For better fields, 300 kilograms would be good. This is when the weather is good.

Not to mention natural disasters and natural disasters, it would be a direct loss of harvest.

As for corn, the yield may be slightly higher, with one acre of land weighing more than 400 kilograms.

It is said to be 400 kilograms, but actually it includes corn cobs.

If Jiang Decai hadn't said it, Jiang Defu wouldn't have known that corn cobs were included in the corn production these days.

And the corn cobs here are all edible!
After the corn is harvested, the corn cobs are ground with a stone mill and mixed with the corn for consumption.

Jiang Defu sighed:

No wonder why the cereals of this era are so unpalatable!
It's rough and hard to swallow. After swallowing, stretch your neck and stamp your feet.

Jiang Decai and others mixed corn grits with wild vegetables and ate them together.

It turns out that the reason is to save food. More importantly, wild vegetables contain rough dietary fiber, which is good for digestion and can facilitate smooth bowel movements.After all, this is just the survival wisdom left by our ancestors in difficult conditions!

Jiang Defu thought about the low grain output, but he really didn't think about it being that low.

Especially wheat, the growth cycle is so long, and it takes so long to cultivate, the harvest from one acre of land is only two big bags.

According to their three acres of land, that is six or seven bags of wheat.

If it is ground again into flour, less will be left.

And half of these six or seven bags of wheat have to be handed over!
Three generations of wheat will last a year?
For ordinary families, it is considered a luxury to have some refined grains in their woudou during the year.

Jiang Defu has always felt that this family is too poor, but now it seems that Zhang Guilan and Jiang Defu can be regarded as experts in getting by.

"This piece, and the two pieces to the east, total three acres, which can be regarded as our family's fertile farmland!"

Jiang Decai led Jiang Defu to identify his own land.

Jiang Defu looked at the land under his feet and the land in the distance, feeling a little sinking in his heart.

This so-called fertile field actually looks like this! .

The fertile fields in his concept were still in the black lands of the south and northeast in his previous life, and the fields in those places were called fertile fields.

This kind of land can only be regarded as a flat plot.

Moreover, there were no wells in the land of this era, let alone water from the rivers that could flow here.

Jiang Defu saw someone in the distance carrying a bucket to water the fields.

Why!Watering the ground actually requires an artificial body!
This kind of field technology has probably been like this since ancient times, without any progress.

At least in the history books, he also saw that the ancients watered the fields or used windmills or dredged canals.

There is a river nearby with water flowing down from the mountains.

However, the plot of land is much higher than the stream. It will not flow here anyway, so it can only be done artificially.

The northern region has been prone to famine since ancient times. In the final analysis, the reason is that the land is too barren, difficult to irrigate, and there is no chemical fertilizer.

fertilizer?

fertilizer?

This thought suddenly woke Jiang Defu!

Doesn’t his material contain pesticides and fertilizers?Since it is a chemical raw material, there should naturally be various fertilizers!

If... if we could fertilize the fields...

Thinking of this, Jiang Defu instantly became excited!

Damn it, it looks like his raw material mall is going to come in handy.

He had really wronged the grandson of the system before.

Jiang Decai was restless. While looking at the seedlings, he saw newly grown weeds and started to pull them up.

In a short while, we reached the other end of the plot.

Seeing that there was no one around him, Jiang Defu thought of the raw material mall and couldn't help but want to open it.

As he thought about it, something like a computer screen soon appeared.

Click on it, follow the [Chemical Materials] button, and quickly find [Pesticide and Fertilizer Materials], here is a series:

Herbicide raw materials

Pesticide raw materials
Fungicide raw materials
sulfur
Sulfuric acid
Nitrogen fertilizer raw materials
Phosphate fertilizer raw materials
Potash fertilizer raw materials
Compound fertilizer raw materials

Urea raw materials
……

It was so damn good, it was so complete that Jiang Defu was so excited that his throat popped out!
By the way, you need points to purchase these things. Last time, the mall said that it rewarded me with 1000 points. Is it too few to buy things?
He had to see if the value of these items was expensive, otherwise, wouldn't the joy be in vain?
He reached out to click on the button for [Potassium Fertilizer Raw Materials], but before it landed on the screen, a burst of noise suddenly came.
