Chapter 545(2/2)
"Besides, you grow corn like this."
Namu pouted and said, "If we plant half a mountain, why don't we tire people to death?"
Luo Xuan asked her, "So if you plant half a mountain, will you harvest much corn?"
Namu shook her head, "Very few, sometimes even the bag of corn seeds that were planted cannot be recovered."
"Isn't this the end?"
Luo Xuan said, "You sow extensively but get little, and you rely on the sky to make a living. Sowing all over the mountains, the result is no benefit at all. After being tired for a long time, what do you think your family is doing by farming like that?"
Namu asked curiously, "Does it mean that if you plant corn like this, you can harvest a lot of food?"
"I am very sure of that."
Luo Xuan nodded, "Let's see the final output! Anyway, I can't explain it to you now."
Now that I want to change the humanistic environment here.
Then you can only encourage them instead of being discouraged.
So I have to be very sure of myself.
In order to guide Namu and Nali correctly, they must master advanced farming methods and farming technology as soon as possible.
You can only use the final result to attract them and shock them.
You have to speak with facts.
But as for why, we need to farm like this?
Luo Xuan really had no choice but to explain clearly to Na Li, Na Mu and the others who were almost illiterate.
Not to mention Namu, Miao Meisha has never seen this kind of intensive farming method.
Even Zhang Xiaoli grew up in rural areas in the mainland.
She has never seen or heard anything.
But Zhang Xiaoli knew that Luo Xuan always had some unexpected behaviors.
I've been around for so many years, haven't I been very successful?
So many times, Zhang Xiaoli would not question Luo Xuan's behavior at all... she would just do what Luo Xuan said.
As for whether it was success or failure in the end.
Zhang Xiaoli doesn't take it to heart at all: if there is too much food, then eat more refined food.
What if there is not enough food to eat?
At worst, just follow the example of the local girls, Namu and Nali: drill into the mountains with a machete and ask the mountains for food...
This method is used to plant corn and press it into "Wowotou".
It can greatly improve the germination rate of corn seeds.
And the base made of silt from the creek and mixed with soil is rich in various fertilizers.
This can ensure that every corn seed can obtain sufficient fertility during the germination period.
And wait until the corn seedlings are half a foot long and need to be transplanted.
By then,
You can predict in advance which seedlings will not grow well and need to be eliminated in advance.
In this case,
It can ensure that every corn seedling transplanted into the ground is a healthy plant with well-developed root system and good growth.
This is the essence of "intensive farming": try to increase the yield rate of plants and increase their survival rate.
In order to achieve the goal of "using the least land area to obtain the maximum output".
The land reclaimed this time is estimated to be about 2 acres.
Half of it is soybeans.
The other three plots are planted with waxy corn, and some carrots and sweet potatoes are also interplanted.
This kind of corn has a soft and waxy texture and can be eaten as a staple food.
Then plant eggplants and celery from 1 part of the land. Chives, leeks, ginger, carrots, daikon and other high-yielding varieties that are easy to grow.
The weather in Liao Lao County will be very cold and wet once it reaches the rainy season.
In order to keep away the cold, more peppers are planted.
If you can't finish the fresh peppers, you can also dry them in the sun. That way they can be stored for a long time.
People here like to eat chili very much.
Whether it is wild mangoes, papayas or tamarinds that they picked from the mountains, the mountain people like to cut them into shreds.
Then just dip it in chili noodles and salt and eat it raw.
Therefore, Luo Xuan planted more peppers in the field, and planted a total of 2 points of land.
Luo Xuan planted the last 2 points of land into "cowhide vegetables".
This variety can be used as a vegetable or used to feed pigs.
As for the edge of the land, Luo Xuan planted some pumpkins, loofahs, red beans, lentils and the like, species that like to climb.
Wait until a large area of land is planted.
At that time, we will have to cut down a lot of bamboo and surround the entire land.
Otherwise, sometimes the cattle in the mountains will wander down the mountains in groups and harm the crops.
This time farming,
It took three full days of busy work to finally plant all the land.
Looking at the spread out fields, drainage ditches and water diversion canals are all available.
Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli still felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
only...
There are more than 10 people there every day, and we eat and drink every day.
The food at home is a bit unbearable.
There is naturally a lot of food in the space.
But these days, I have been busy working in the ground every day. Therefore, no matter how much food there is in the space,
The Luo Xuan is really inconvenient, so take it out and use it.
It seems,
Chapter completed!
