Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 61 Concerns
When digging manure pits, the villagers in Shi'ao Village were very active.

But when it came to participating in retting manure later, many people still hesitated.

In the final analysis, it still means small-scale farming economy.

This collective retting of manure is not a very complicated matter. If each household wants to use the manure from the collective manure pit, it must provide as many trucks of dried tree leaves and straw as the number of acres of farmland at home, and the labor of how many people must participate in the work. .

Those people were active at first because it was novel, but after everyone put leaves and straw into the manure pit and saw that Jiang Defu's method of retting manure was not much different from theirs, many people hesitated.

"Do you think this is a lie? I don't think it's any different from retting our own excrement!"

"That's right, with these carts of leaves, we might as well put them in our own manure pits for retting!"

"Our family has eight acres of land. According to this saying, we are not allowed to get more than ten carts of tree leaves and straw. Everyone in the family is working here. If we have this time, we might as well go to the field to pull weeds!"

"It's okay to try, but we won't tell until then. Anyway, my sweet potatoes and radishes are about to be planted in the evening, and I need a truck of manure. I heard that just spreading it will be enough!"

"I'm not afraid of wasting those carts of leaves and straw, and I'm afraid of coming over to work. I'm just worried about damaging my field! I heard that they don't allow the use of their own farmyard fertilizer for later fertilization, saying that only straw should be grown. Aren’t our ancestors always growing fruits and other things like this?”

The crowd was talking a lot, and many people were hesitant.

……

"His grandma's house, so many households originally applied, but now half of them have stopped coming! When the time comes to use fertilizer, they will definitely not be allowed to use it!"

Liu Mulin went to Shi Laiwang's house to discuss the matter after dinner and said angrily.

Jiang Defu wanted to leave the matter to these two people to handle. Shi Laiwang was old and had inconvenient legs and feet, so the matter was discussed at their home.

"I said I would give it a try from the beginning. I am also a novice when it comes to farming. There is no need for us to be serious. It is normal for some people not to participate."

Jiang Defu smiled.

In fact, he had already expected this.

It must take a process for people to accept new things, and it is abnormal to accept them immediately at the beginning.

"Defu is right! It's easier to arrange with fewer people. I think although Defu's method of retting manure is similar to ours, there are still differences. The time for fertilization is different. Previously, he also suggested that we not apply our own fertilizer in the future. , I didn’t listen, it seems there is indeed a problem.”

Shi Laiwang agreed with Jiang Defu and felt that it would be better if there were fewer people.

……

"Dad, do you really think the method of retting the manure in rich water is reliable? I don't think there is much difference. At most, he asked to use hot water for retting the manure!"

At night, the second lady turned over and couldn't sleep, so she chatted with Shi Laiwang.

"I can't tell. Anyway, this kid Defu... you have seen that since he came back, he has done extraordinary things! The grain output is really amazing. Maybe he really has One hand!"

Shi Laiwang sighed and said.

"That's what you said. This boy just feels different. I remember that when he was a child, he was boring and didn't like to talk. His parents are both honest people. The older he gets, the more he becomes different from the rest of the family. The Jiang family is really A wise man has emerged!"

……

Jiang Defu didn't pay much attention to the discussions outside.

They are now busy packing up the food hoards at home and hoarding the newly harvested corn.

With four acres of corn, at least the family would not have to worry about food.

Although the family still mainly eats miscellaneous grains, due to the bumper harvest, Zhang Guilan and the others are willing to grind the cornmeal much finer, mix in some white flour, and make pancakes, which are burnt but delicious.

Also, they had cut a lot of mugwort seeds, beaten a lot of seeds, and ground them into oil. However, they made nearly two large pots of oil. The family was willing to eat the oil, and the food was naturally much more fragrant.

There is also a good survival rate for the chickens raised. Several hens have already started laying eggs. Because there is no shortage of salt, they can often eat some scrambled eggs with green vegetables.

In previous years, there was little food, and there were only a few large vats of food in the house. Now there are too many, and naturally there is no room for them.Jiang Defu and his second brother Jiang Decai built a grain storage shed on one side of the yard. The bottom was raised high with solid wood shelves. Jiang Defu also bought desiccant and other raw materials for convenient grain storage in the system and put them in the corn, even if it was stored in the corn a few days ago. Raining has no effect at all.

Peanuts in this era were planted a little later than corn.

The corn has been harvested for a long time and the peanuts are not yet ripe.

Jiang Defu remembered that during the autumn harvest in the countryside in his previous life, corn and peanuts were harvested at about the same time, and the peanuts even seemed to be harvested first.

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that in my previous life, some peanuts were grown on film and were planted earlier.

In this era, corn is a food crop that is related to food, so it is planted relatively early. In addition to early corn, there is also late corn, but Jiang De's rich family did not plant late corn.

Peanuts are mainly used for oil these days. Many people don't have enough food to eat, so no one is willing to grow peanuts. Jiang Defu suggested that the Jiang family grow peanuts this year.

There are not many families in the village who grow peanuts.

"Defu, your peanuts will definitely be a good harvest this year!"

Shi Laiwang stood at the edge of Jiang Defu's peanut farm and said with some sigh.

Now the peanuts are almost grown and can be harvested in a week at most.

Their peanut trees are quite strong, there are not many peanuts, and the particles are small.

The grass seedlings of Jiang Defu's family were not that tall. Jiang Decai pulled out one and found a thick knot with full grains.

Shi Laiwang was still very confused about the so-called special manure at first, but now he completely believes it.

"In these days, please send more dung leaves to me so that I can remember them more!"

In the evening, Shi Laiwang told his son Shi Changsheng.

Liu Mulin specially asked people to block the collective manure pit. Which family members were involved?How many dung leaves were sent?
They are all recorded by people, and when the time comes to use them, the points will be based on the amount of money paid.

Although it is autumn, the temperature is still very high during the day.

The manure has been covered in more than ten days, and it is now the season to plant late sweet potatoes, radish and cabbage.

Sweet potatoes are basically a type of food in Shi'ao Village.

The yield of corn and wheat is low, and many families rely on sweet potatoes to support themselves.

Therefore, planting sweet potatoes is also a big deal for Shi'ao Village.

Everyone involved in manure retting went to the collective manure pit to haul manure.

But even if they do, some people are still hesitant.

"Is this reliable?"

Someone hesitated.

After all, there were many people digging cesspits in the beginning, and many people quit.

"I'm really worried, so I might as well use one acre and nothing else, just compare!"

Some people's heads are spinning very fast.

"You are still smart. Our family should just use the wasteland. I'm a little worried about the fertile fields here!"

"Dad, can our family use this fertilizer?"

Liu Mulin is fertilizing, said his son Liu Shuigan.
