Chapter 582 Sweet Potato Cut into Pieces
When I first came here, Bian Pingling didn't think so much. At that time, he was busy filling his stomach, so he didn't have the heart to think about it.
But now spring is the season for planting, and many memories that have been forgotten in my mind suddenly float to the surface and become clear.
Bian Pingling is glad that fortunately he had this experience in his previous life, otherwise it would be a real trouble now!
Cut the sprouted sweet potatoes and potatoes into pieces, greatly reducing the amount of grain grown.
Think about it, in the past, one sweet potato was cut into five or six pieces, and it took up five or six holes. How many sweet potatoes were needed after one row?
In the past, I could only plant one acre of land, but now I can plant at least four or five acres. Can you be unhappy?
These seedlings can grow as seedlings in the seedlings and pinch them, and the required grains can be reduced a lot.
Even Bian Pingling was worried about the weather problems they had previously been worried about. It is early spring and the weather is still a bit cold, but after planting it, cover it with a layer of hay?
As for fertilizer, if one cesspool is not enough, dig a few more.
There is not only one way to ferment, such as stems, green, weeds, river pond mud, manure and urine. Then dig a pit, pour water into the pit, and then cover it with some grass after it is reconciled, and then slowly raise it there.
It is spring now, and grass pond mud is the most suitable.
This accumulation method is caused by the lack of oxygen, which accumulates a large amount of intermediate products of divalent iron, manganese and various organic acids. The carbon-nitrogen ratio is too high and the calcium and magnesium nutrients are insufficient, which are not conducive to microbial activities. At this time, adding green manure and appropriate amounts of human feces, urine, lime, etc. to supplement oxygen, reduce the carbon-nitrogen ratio, and improve the nutritional status of microorganisms, can accelerate decomposition.
In addition, there is compost.
Compost is a fertilizer made of plant-based substances such as crop stems, green manure, weeds, etc., mixed with soil, human feces, urine, garbage, etc., and decomposed by good gas microorganisms.
One is high-temperature compost and the other is ordinary compost.
High-temperature compost is made of plant matter with high fiber content as the main raw material. It is piled and fermented under aeration conditions, producing a large amount of heat. The temperature inside the pile is high (50~60), so it rots quickly, piles up quickly, and has a high nutrient content. During the high-temperature fermentation process, it can kill bacteria, insect eggs and weed seeds.
Ordinary compost is generally mixed with more soil, with low fermentation temperature, slow decomposition process, and long accumulation time. During accumulation, the chemical composition of nutrients changes, the carbon-nitrogen ratio decreases, and the mineral nutrients that can be directly absorbed by plants increase, and humus forms.
No matter which one it is, as long as it can produce fertilizer.
Bian Pingling is not stingy. He taught everyone to do everything and encouraged everyone to try more.
"Anyway, this kind of thing has been explored. Each of you try one, try a few more times. When everyone communicates, they will compare which one is better and which one will be less effective. Choose the best one from it, and everyone will use this one."
"If you try alone, you have to finish so many things. I don't know how long it will take, but if everyone tries, it will be faster to find a good method."
Because of the post-disaster reconstruction, everyone is dedicated to the things that can fill their stomachs and has no time to do too much, so they keep this in mind and are not in a hurry to do it.
Except for a few people in charge of compost and compost, they would run over to check and watch from time to time, most of the others were busy with their own affairs.
In order to prevent the wild vegetables on the mountain from being patronized, everyone pays special attention when picking. If the sprouts are too small, try not to destroy their original growth environment. Pick this piece today, pick it tomorrow, and change it the day after tomorrow, and visit it every few days. Although the amount is not large each time, it is always impossible to pick it, which makes everyone feel a little better.
In order to save food, when everyone drys sweet potatoes, the skin is not peeled, so they wash it clean and cut it into slices, dry it, and then grind it into powder and use it as flour.
I mixed this flour today and that tomorrow, either made into gnocchi or made into a particularly mushy dish. Although I wasn’t particularly hungry, I could eat a bowl of it for every meal, which was somewhat comforting.
Everyone knows that it is a critical time now, and they have tightened their waistbands and lived a life.
Because the elderly and children cannot do much physical work, they reduce the amount of three meals a day for some reason and give all the main food to the labor force at home.
Digging the ground, cutting trees, building houses, digging fish ponds are all physical work, and you can't do anything if you don't have enough food.
Although as a member of Lijia Village, no matter the elderly or children, everyone will have two sweet potatoes and a bowl of wild vegetables, in fact, they will be reluctant to leave. They will deduct half of them and "hire" other laborers.
These labor can be privately hired in-laws or given to the village to arrange them uniformly.
In order to avoid trouble, most people leave the village to make unified arrangements. Only some of them have good relationships with relatives, and there are many elderly people and children in the family, so they leave a little behind.
There is no way, who says that the family has labor to work, but how much food can labor earn?
There are also people in Lijia Village, the elderly and children only need to do a little bit, and they can get rations, but people from other villages are not so cheap. Only young and strong people can get more rations. Those who are not physically strong and work less can get very few.
No matter how small it is, there is still a bowl of very thick porridge.
He took it back, added some hot water, and added the wild vegetables that the elderly and children found in the mountains, so that the family could have food rations.
Bian Pingling also asked someone to catch some pheasants and rabbits alive in the mountain owner, and took some pheasant eggs back. The pheasant cut his wings and kept them in a chicken cage; the rabbit enclosed a piece of land and raised them in a cage (because it has not been raised yet, I dare not release them for free, for fear of digging holes to run away); the pheasant eggs were used to hatch chickens, raised from childhood to adulthood, and pruned their wings in time, which was easier to raise than the pheasant caught alive.
As for fear of hatching eggs without hens?
NO! As long as there is a kang, it’s fine.
He specially built a house with a kang, and specially arranged a person to stare at him and be responsible for hatching chickens. Because this was a technical job, he did not dare to teach outsiders, so the leader Li directly arranged his own son.
He is responsible for hatching eggs and gives him 10% more profits. The other Li family, the Li clan leader's family, and the inner family also have a share, so the rest will be taken out and shared with the villagers. After all, when the chickens are hatched, someone will still have to be responsible for feeding the chickens and taking care of the chickens, right?
The rabbit was unexpectedly smooth. In a few days, a female rabbit got into a litter of rabbits, which made a group of adults swallow. Because this means that there will be no shortage of rabbit meat in the future, hahahahahahaha...
Bian Pingling said: Can I say, did I smuggle in a few domestic rabbits?
Not only rabbits, but she found a way to smuggle any animals they caught and said they were preparing to raise domestic animals.
I didn't even let go of the eggs.
Anyway, they have also paid so many "eggs" back, so who knows what eggs are? There are a few more varieties of chickens that have hatched out, right?
Chapter completed!
