Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 Mixed Fertilizers

  On September 20th, the Second Brigade of Donggang Commune began to participate.

  Early in the morning, Xu Shiyan led a hundred strong young men, each carrying tools and sacks, and drove the carriage straight to the No. 2 bridge.

  Here, those who withdraw the shed, those who cut the ginseng leaves, and those who hold the three-toothed ginseng.

  Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and everyone is busy with their own affairs without delaying anything.

  The club was unearthed, Xu Shiyan came over to have a look, um, it's okay.

  He has a good figure, no rust, and his size is considered not too small in the eyes of others, but for Xu Shiyan, he feels that he is still not good enough.

  This is the reason why there is no top dressing. If the fertilizer is enough, it will definitely grow bigger.

  Xu Shiyan, the leader, does not need to do the work himself. He just needs to walk around and be responsible for dispatching and supervising the work.

   Watch the big guys work, don't plan the sticks, don't pick them up too slowly and drop them in the soil to bury them.

  Harvest is always pleasant.

  Seeing piles of doll-like mallets being packed into sacks, no matter who it is, they will feel that no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

  The ginseng of the second brigade is growing well, and the output is not low.

  Those who work, although tired, are all smiling. This is the happiness of a good harvest.

  More than a hundred people are all strong men, so the work is naturally fast. In three or four days, all the three-thousand-foot goods are finished.

  The Second Brigade is on the south bank of the Huangni River. There is a processing factory run by the brigade in front of Paotai Mountain, and there is a small river in front of the processing factory.

   Just diverted the river water, built a large pond, soaked ginseng and washed it.

  The processing plant has a large area, and the various areas inside are clearly divided.

  Soaking ginseng pond, brushing ginseng pond, steaming ginseng room, drying room, rows of shelves in the yard, with forks for drying ginseng on them, all kinds of facilities are available.

  The girls and daughters-in-law in the team are all vying to come to the processing factory to earn work points at this time. A group of people gather together, chatting and laughing very lively.

  Others are busy earning work points, but Su Anying can only coax the child at home, making her jump in a hurry.

   But what can be done? Xu Haiyuan is too young, no one helps to look after the child, so she can't carry her son to work, right?

  Even if Xu Shiyan is willing, the processing factory will not let him.

   "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, our family doesn't need you to earn work points now, as long as you manage the whole family well, it will be better than anything else."

  Xu Shiyan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his daughter-in-law anxious, so he could only comfort him.

   "Daughter-in-law, don't underestimate being at home. If no one does these miscellaneous tasks, how can I work outside to earn work points?"

  In his previous life, when Su Anying was alive, Xu Shiyan thought the same as other men.

  Do you think women are just housekeepers, cookers, and children at home? What are you tired of? Still nagging every day?

  But after Su Anying left, Xu Shiyan realized that a family without a woman would not look good at all.

   Rice won't cook by itself, clothes won't clean by itself, and the inside and outside of the house won't become spotless by itself.

  A woman's life is trapped in these trivial things that others don't care about, but she supports a family.

  So after being reborn, Xu Shiyan changed his mind.

  Men and women have different social divisions of labor, no matter what they do, it is very important.

  Su Anying lived in a different environment since she was a child. There are six sisters in her family, and there is no boy. She is used to going out to work just like a boy.

  Usually, it's okay, but every time it comes to the season of spring planting and autumn harvest, she feels that staying at home is not right, mainly because her status has not been changed.

   After being persuaded by Xu Shiyan several times, Su Anying also gradually understood that she now has a husband and someone to rely on, and there is no need to fight as hard as before.

  So he stayed at home to take care of the children with peace of mind. The house and the outside were cleaned up neatly, so Xu Shiyan didn't have to worry about anything.

  In a blink of an eye, September passed, and most of October passed, and ginseng seeds grew in the ginseng field. After picking, they were ready to plant ginseng.

  At the beginning of spring, Yu Shouguang said that he would give Xu Shiyan a hundred feet of ginseng soil and let him do a bean cake base fertilizer test.

  At that time, Xu Shiyan fermented the bean cake powder according to a hundred feet. As a result, the effect of top dressing with bean cake water was obvious in summer.

  Yu Shouguang regretted this, so he discussed with Xu Shiyan, can he find a way to get more fat, and try to get as much ginseng as possible this year for experimentation.

   This matter is not difficult for Xu Shiyan.

  He can not only ferment bean cakes as base fertilizer, but also make mixed fertilizer.

  Fried and crushed perilla seeds, overstone, decomposed bean cake powder, and kang cave soil are fully mixed in a ratio of two, two, two, and four, and piled up and fermented again.

  When planting ginseng, apply about four catties per foot as base fertilizer, and after three years, the yield can be increased by 20 to 30%.

  If combined with bean cake water topdressing, the yield can increase by 50%.

  Of course, Xu Shiyan will not teach this recipe to others.

   The compound fertilizer was prepared entirely by Xu Shiyan himself, and it was useless to anyone.

   And he asked for a lot of things, making it impossible to guess the specific formula.

   Not all skills can be taught free of charge. This skill is the experience Xu Shiyan has accumulated over the years in his previous life.

  Even if there is chemical fertilizer later, it is not as good as this method.

  Ginseng grows vigorously and is not easy to get disease. Just kidding, who would spread the word easily.

  Xu Shiyan didn't pass on the methods, and the team couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, as long as the harvest is good, the rest should not be too greedy.

  There are 5,000 feet of ginseng land on Xiaohei River, 4,300 feet of ginseng is planted, and 1,000 feet of ginseng is left to sow seeds.

  Planting ginseng is not an easy task. The two of them work together to put the pond in the field in the morning.

  It is to spread out a part of the large soil ridge with tools. According to the requirements of the site reference, the soil layer must be of a certain thickness.

  After that, use a shovel to dig trenches on the surface of the pool according to a certain row spacing, and the depth should be five or six centimeters.

  If you don't fertilize, you can directly place the ginseng seeds in small furrows, and the spacing between plants is determined according to the size of the ginseng seeds.

  The larger the ginseng seeds, the farther the distance between plants, and the smaller the ginseng seeds, the closer the distance between plants should be, leaving enough room for growth.

  Put the ginseng seeds in place, and then cover with a layer of six to eight centimeters of soil, and that's it.

  This is the normal procedure for planting ginseng, but for those experimental fields that need to be fertilized, there is an additional process of spreading fertilizer and covering the soil before placing the ginseng seeds.

  In this way, the speed of planting ginseng will be slower.

  Of course, the second brigade has a lot of manual work, so let's go slower, no one cares.

  As long as the output of ginseng increases, this labor cost can be ignored.

  The work of planting ginseng is done upside down, and a special square plate is placed in front of the worker, with a wooden section protruding from each end of the square plate.

  The length of the wooden square is the same as the width of the surface of the pool. Two short wooden squares are nailed to the top of the wooden square. The length of these two short wooden squares is generally six inches, which is the row spacing.

   This thing, in the industry jargon, is called a system, which is specially used to measure the line spacing.

   Every time you press **** the surface of the pool, it leaves a mark, and when you drag it according to the mark, you can accurately grasp the line spacing, so that the two people will not be wider on one side and narrower on the other.

  The main function of the square plate on the system is to place ginseng seeds.

   Just like that, the two of them planted ginseng while dragging the frame backwards, and they could probably plant fifteen to twenty feet a day.

   Of course, there are also those who work fast. In Xu Shiyan's previous life, there were a couple who could grow fifty feet a day.

   At present, it is impossible. The production team is full of gangs, who is willing to do that.
