Chapter 280 Sowing

"Baoer, you have picked so many yam seeds! That's great! I'll find some places to plant these seeds tomorrow." Li Hongxiang was overjoyed.

Zhang Tiezhu was also overjoyed. There were so many yam seeds that could plant several acres.

However, he frowned and thought for a while, then discussed with Li Hongxiang and several children: "The flooding has just passed, and every household is not easy, and it is short of clothes and food. Since we have so many seeds, we will leave half of the rest to Li Zheng, and let Li Zheng distribute it to everyone, so that everyone can also grow some yam together, at least they are a little hopeful."

"Dad, you are so nice, just do what you said." Su Jinse had no objection, but was happy.

Her father is not a selfish villain. On the contrary, he will not ignore his wife and children for the sake of others. Instead, he will help others as much as possible while ensuring that his wife and children have food.

Ye Xiange and Tang Yan were always by their side. When Zhang Tiezhu said he was willing to take out half of the yam seeds and distributed them to the villagers, his eyes were filled with relief. At this time, every household was almost tightly strangled with their belts to live. If they got something good, they would never be willing to take it out.

The next morning, Su Jinse woke up and grabbed a handful of yam seeds soaked in water. After soaking it, she went to have breakfast.

At this moment, Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang came back with baskets and hoes on their backs. The inside was filled with yam. They went to dig at dawn and only came back now. But it was much more than she and Zhang Zhiwen dug yesterday, and they also picked two yam seeds.

I put down my things and rested for a while before I started having breakfast, and then discussed the matter of growing yam.

Almost all the yams in the back mountain were dug up. When they went out early this morning, many villagers also took hoes up the mountain. Everyone knew that they could take yams, so they all rushed to dig them, so everyone almost dug them up.

Fortunately, they picked some yam seeds.

After breakfast, Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang went to choose the land for planting yam together, and for this, they also went to ask Doctor Xu for advice.

Yam seeds have strong adaptability to the environment. Generally, they can be used in rural soil, but avoid waterlogging.

After selecting the land, start digging, turning, and leveling the land.

After soaking the seeds for about six hours, Su Jinse took out the fishing vessel and then put the seeds in a ventilated and cool place to dry.

The next day, Li Hongxiang and Zhang Tiezhu sprinkled the yam seeds together in the dug soil.

This land was dug yesterday. The land is deep and loose, fertile, strong breathability, and has good drainage effect. The soil is applied with sufficient base fertilizer.

However, it takes about three or four months to harvest the yam in a season, so you have to plant some other vegetables during this period.

We have to find a way to plant some crops. The previous crops were washed away and there will be a long time to harvest next year. Otherwise, there will be no food in nearly a year, and many people will really die.

So Su Jinse asked Ye Xiange if there were any seeds for food. If there were no seeds for food, there would be other seeds for food that could be used. If the court only released disaster food, it would not be able to help so many people. Sooner or later, the food in the treasury would not be able to hold on.

This is exactly what Ye Xiange is worried about. There are too many people who don’t have food, and it is not a big deal to distribute relief grain every day. I really have to find a way to grow food.
