Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 60 Fighting over shit
"One thousand... one thousand 420 eight pounds and five taels!"

"what?"

"1428 catties and 5 taels!"

"That's right!"

"If you don't believe it, you can take a look. I added them up one by one. Fortunately, I have also been able to read for a few days!"

Liu Mulin checked it again, yes!

That's right!

"Oh! One acre of land weighs more than 400 kilograms!"

Someone couldn't help screaming.

"What? More than 400 kilograms?"

"is that true?"

"You can take a look if you don't believe me!"

The crowd suddenly became excited, and many people began to rush forward.

The crowd's chatter became even louder.

"Defu! You boy...you are so good!"

Liu Mulin stepped forward and patted Jiang Defu on the shoulder, his voice trembling with excitement!

If... if the food output in the future is this, the villagers in Shixiazi Village won't worry about going hungry.

Two days ago, Jiang Defu and Shi Laiwang came to him and said that Jiang Defu had learned a method to increase grain production from outside. Liu Mulin became excited.

……

Shi'ao Village is currently busy with a "big project", that is, a large cesspit is currently being built in the open space at the east end of the village.

Yes, it is normal for every household in the countryside to have a cesspit, but it is still unusual for a unified large cesspit to be built in the village.

"Do you think this is really useful?"

Someone wondered.

"There should be! Look, the Jiang family's four acres of corn production exceeds the total corn production of several companies. Their family's food this year will be enough to last the whole year next year. Unlike our family, hey!"

"Of course I know their family has high grain yield, but when Jiang Defu said it was because of the manure they used, why didn't I believe it so much?"

"Why don't you believe that their production is not stored there?"

"Do you really believe it! Who doesn't know how to retting dung! My father, my generation has been retting dung for less than half a year, it's been decades, so I don't believe they can make new tricks for retting dung!"

"What on earth do you want to say!"

"I'm saying that his high corn yield may be related to his land. It's just God's blessing. I don't believe that a young boy like him can grow the land in new ways. We have learned how to farm from our ancestors for hundreds of years. experience!
Even if he had any secrets, I don’t think he would reveal them! "

"You mean he will hide it?"

"That's natural! Think about it, would you tell these secrets if it were you? For example, if you are a good carpenter and no one is your apprentice, would you teach others for free? By the way, my third boy I want to learn carpentry from you, what are your thoughts?"

"Don't talk about carpentry for now. I'll think about that later. Do you mean that Jiang Defu won't really give us the method of high grain yield?"

"What do you think?"

"I...but if you don't believe this digging of cesspits, why don't you come too?"

"Didn't I come out to check on the situation? Anyway, the farm work hasn't been busy lately. It will take a while for the peanuts to be harvested, and the sweet potatoes will be planted late. I came to check on the situation. Everyone is here. It doesn't look good if no one comes to our house. Anyway, we have to think about it if we retting the manure together then!"

"That's what you said!"

Regarding the collective retting of manure, it was actually Liu Mulin's idea.Regarding the use of chemical fertilizers for farming, Jiang Defu knew that this matter could not be hidden for too long.

My own family's food production exceeds that of the villagers by a lot, so it's hard to hide this. After all, we can't plant crops in our own yard or on the bed, as people will find out sooner or later.

This matter is related to the issue of eating. If the family hides and enjoys it alone, it is actually like harboring a jade, and problems will arise sooner or later.

If they want to enjoy this result safely, it needs to be spread throughout the village at least.

Regarding Shi Laiwang and Liu Mulin, he just said that he had mastered some different methods of retting manure and fertilizing. Naturally, he knew this method while serving as a soldier outside.

However, he did not guarantee that it would work.

Jiang Defu also thought about selling his own manure at first, for example, building a manure pit outside his yard, retting the manure, then adding chemical fertilizer during a certain fertilization season, and then selling it to the villagers.

If this is the case, their family can sit back and enjoy the benefits, and they will not have to worry about food and drink even if they don’t have to work.

Of course, the villagers in the village have no money. At least there are very few people who have money at home. As for selling, of course they can use food in exchange.

It’s just that he thought about it for a while and felt that this was not a good idea.

Although his history study is average, he has a fairly clear understanding of the history of this era because of his grandfather.

If this is the case, he will become a comprador small landowner, and then...

Compared with such risks, Jiang Defu now prefers a peaceful life.

In fact, it is good for the villagers to have enough food and clothing for their own lives. After all, when people have enough food and clothing, their lives will be prosperous, and their materials will gradually become richer.

For example, when he first came back, the villagers were extremely poor due to the drought the previous year. There were very few chickens and pigs in the village.

Because of hunger, people have turned to food. Because there is no food, there is no way to feed those things.

It's a bit difficult to exchange for some eggs and meat.

The situation has been better this year, and some people in the village are gradually raising chickens, ducks, etc., and some people have brought back piglets to raise.

Some people even hunted rabbits in the mountains and brought them to their homes to keep them in captivity.

As more chickens are raised, there are more eggs, and some grain or salt can be used in exchange for salt.

Nowadays, Jiang Defu’s family is not short of salt, and he often exchanges eggs with his neighbors to eat, and his living conditions have improved a lot.

If this continues, even if there is no hunting, the village will still kill New Year pigs during the New Year, and then you can eat New Year pigs raised by farmers.

Because of the wild boar they had previously hunted, the Jiang family ate wild boar for a while.

It did taste delicious at first, after all, I haven’t eaten meat for such a long time.

But because wild boars are lean meat, to be honest, it still tastes a bit bad. Jiang Defu often misses the fragrant fat meat in his previous life.

The resolution of collective manure retting that is being discussed now is actually the method that Liu Mulin and Shi Laiwang finally came up with.

Jiang Defu did not intend to sell manure, which was a big surprise to them.

After all, it is something that many people cannot do if they have their own exclusive secret recipe and share it.

Although Jiang Defu said that he couldn't guarantee it and could only give it a try, the two of them were still very excited.

Both of them are good farmers and smart people. They have been farming for so many years. If Jiang De's rich family's land suddenly becomes fertile and produces more grain, they still don't believe it.

After living in this Shi'ao Village for so many years, there haven't been that many bizarre things.

To take a step back, even if that is the case, you won’t lose much if you give it a try. After all, you will still be growing radishes, late sweet potatoes, and so on.

"Dad, does our family really want to participate in manure retting?"

While eating, his son Liu Shuigan suddenly asked Liu Mulin.
