Chapter 358 The cabin was soon filled with big fat
Milk tea suddenly said: "Look at the seeds, look at the seeds..."
The village head was obviously startled when he heard the starling's voice and said, "Oh... there are seeds. I'll take them out now."
The village head hurried into the house. After a while, he came out holding a worn sack. He put the sack on the ground and opened the sack.
Lin Wanwan took a closer look and saw that the seeds in the sack were of different sizes, many of them were shriveled, and some even had obvious signs of being eaten by insects.
Her brows were instantly twisted into a knot and she shook her head without hesitation.
Mrs. Bai also walked forward, took a closer look, and couldn't help but shook her head:
"These seeds are really no good. If we plant them with seeds like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest this year.
In a few days, I will select some high-quality seeds to ensure their quality."
It's not just a problem with the seeds. Lin Wanwan looked at the winter wheat, which was far from being as strong as it should be, and was struggling sparsely in the soil.
The fields are overgrown with weeds, competing with the winter wheat for the already scarce nutrients and water, and the winter wheat is losing ground in this competition.
The soil is cracked and water is lost rapidly, making it difficult for winter wheat to take root and absorb sufficient nutrients.
If the land is barren, you can collect human and animal feces for composting and fermentation, and then spread it evenly on the fields after it is fully decomposed to add fertility to the land.
At the same time, the wild grass cut from the mountains and forests is burned into wood ash, which is rich in potassium fertilizer and can effectively improve the soil quality.
Irrigation is inconvenient, so people need to be organized to dig ditches to bring water from distant rivers into the fields.
Then make a simple waterwheel and use the power of water flow to pump water for irrigation. This can not only solve the water problem but also save manpower.
For weeds that grow wildly, they should be manually removed according to seasonal rules before they set seeds to reduce weed growth in the next year.
You can also plant plants with special smells such as mint and mugwort around crops to use their smell to drive away weeds and inhibit their growth.
As for the seeds, we need to select seeds with full grains and no diseases from the existing wheat ears and store them separately. We need to select the best and eliminate the inferior seeds every year and gradually cultivate better varieties.
Or you can go straight to Longhu Town and buy the best quality seeds.
Mr. Bai recorded everything in detail with a charcoal pencil, and Milk Tea's throat was almost smoking.
After Master Bai finished taking notes, he reached out and hugged Lin Wanwan, saying, "Oh my! How come my granddaughter is so amazing! Baby, you can't tell anyone about this, okay? These are our secrets."
Master Bai was also a little worried. He understood the principle that excessive wisdom would lead to harm.
They went to the plum garden again. The plum blossoms in the garden were really beautiful. There were three colors of plum blossoms here: white, pink and yellow. The elegant and refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms lingered at the tip of the nose.
Zhao Qiaoniang picked some, and Madam Bai said, "It would be nice to raise chickens at Plum Manor. They could have a lot of them. The previous owner was quite a dilettante."
After visiting Meizhuang, they came to Huzhuang. Standing on the top of Huzhuang and looking down, all they could see were rolling hills and barren land.
The undulating terrain also makes it difficult to grow conventional crops on a large scale, so most of the crops are left idle, which is a pity.
Mrs. Bai said:
"These mountainous lands cannot be left empty, it would be nice to grow some tea.
Look at these slopes all over the mountains. There is plenty of sunshine and rain, which is perfect for the growth of tea trees.
Once the tea leaves are fully grown and roasted, they will be fragrant and will surely fetch a good price."
She paused, then continued:
"And this flat land in the mountains is perfect for growing sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant and resistant to poor soil quality, have low soil requirements, and produce high yields."
Lin Wanwan opened up: "Corn, sorghum, buckwheat, mung beans are all fine."
Madam Bai nodded and said, "Okay, then let's try them all. Let's send someone to buy seeds today. I wonder if there are any fish in this lake?"
Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Oh! I haven't eaten fish in a long time. How about we go fishing today?"
Madam Bai nodded and said, "Let's give it a try. If there are no fish, we can buy more next year."
Master Bai stood by the lake with a determined look on his face. With a wave of his hand, more than thirty strong men behind him quickly took action.
Mrs. Bai on the side was also giving orders in an orderly manner, asking her subordinates to come and help.
The women sat together and began to weave fishing nets. They chose hemp rope, and their fingers moved nimbly, crossing and tying the rope.
The hemp rope flew up and down in their hands, and the prototype of the fishing net gradually emerged. During the weaving process, iron weights were tied at intervals so that the fishing net could sink quickly when entering the water.
In a short while, fine and strong fishing nets were woven.
Several small boats by the lake were pushed into the water. Although the boats were not big, Liang Tieshan and Zhao Lei, along with their subordinates, picked up the oars and pushed hard, and the boats rowed towards the center of the lake.
After arriving at the designated location, everyone quickly divided the work, some were responsible for casting the net, and some were responsible for rowing and controlling the direction.
The person casting the net holds the edge of the net with both hands, leans back slightly, and then suddenly swings it forward. The net draws a graceful arc in the air and slowly falls into the water.
As the fishing net sank, everyone held their breath and stared at the water.
Suddenly, the water surface fluctuated violently, and the fish seemed to be frightened and jumped out of the water one after another.
These fish are huge, each as thick as an adult's arm, and their bodies are twisting.
The fish struggled desperately to escape the fishing net, but they only sank deeper and deeper.
The people on the boat shouted excitedly and quickly pulled the ropes of the fishing net.
As the fishing net was slowly pulled out of the water, the fish inside huddled together, jumping around, and the splashing water wet everyone's clothes.
Everyone worked together to pull one big fish after another onto the boat. The boat sank slightly under the weight of the fish, and the cabin was soon filled with fat big fish.
Master Bai shouted, "That's about it. Wow, there are so many fish in this lake."
Madam Bai stood by the lake, looking at the boats returning with their full loads. Her eyes were filled with joy as she said loudly, "Tonight, let's have fish for the whole village. Let's cook more so that everyone can enjoy a feast!"
She turned around and ordered, "It's spring now, and there are many wild vegetables in the mountains. Let's go dig some up and add them to the fish soup. It will definitely taste delicious."
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she immediately became interested and clapped her hands. She also wanted to go to the mountain.
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Oh! Our Wanwan wants to go up the mountain too? Then let's go in and play in a while."
They have so many hills! Nautang next to them was chirping. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at it and said, "What's wrong with Nautang? Did you find some treasure?"
Generally, milk candy is called this, which means that you have found a treasure.
