Chapter 500

"Well, it's delicious! It's delicious! This chicken soup is thick but not greasy, it's really delicious!!"

"This eel is still delicious, think about what kind of food I ate at home during this time??"

Boss Zhou ate the delicious food on the table with big mouthfuls, and then thought that although the food at home was very good, the taste was very different. Only the food here is really delicious in the world, no matter how you eat it Can't eat enough, can't get tired of eating.

"It's like a starved ghost reincarnated!!" Seeing his old friend's rude eating, Mr. Liu scolded with a smile.

"Hey..." Mr. Zhou didn't refute, just smiled and continued to savor the delicious food in front of him.

…………

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Feng was ready to plant corn.

One or two acres of glutinous corn is enough for the family to eat for a long time, and the rest has to be planted with half an acre of high-yielding corn to provide food for the family's chickens and sheep.

"Madman, I'll go with you!!" She had never grown corn before, so Yiyi was a little curious.

"Hehe, that's good, just sow the seeds for me." Zhang Feng smiled.

Planting corn is very simple. The first step is to plow the ground and level the soil. The second step is to dig holes, sow seeds, then fertilize, and finally cover the soil.

I carried a few bags of dry chicken manure and sheep manure from the backyard and put them on the car. These are the best natural fertilizers and are best used to grow crops.

"Yiyi sit down, let's go!!"

Let Yiyi sit next to her, take tools and manure, and gallop towards the back mountain.

green mountains in spring

The colorful wild flowers on the side of the road are also competing to bloom. From a distance, the whole land looks like a beautiful picture.

Nature is so beautiful, so beautiful and so natural, it is incomparably intoxicating. When the breeze blows gently, the thick scent of grass rushes to the face, refreshing and refreshing.

"It's so beautiful!!" Looking at the receding scenery on the side of the road, Yiyi looked intoxicated and couldn't help admiring.

"Hehe, it's really beautiful. When we're done with the busy time, we'll go to the West Mountain for a spring outing. The scenery there is really beautiful. There are green grass and flowers all over the mountains, and there are all kinds of beautiful butterflies. Standing on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, the light The sunset is very beautiful!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Is it really so beautiful?" Yiyi asked with longing.

"Of course!!" Zhang Feng nodded with a smile. It's really hard to describe in words. Only by being there can you appreciate the shocking scenery there.

……

in a blink

The two came to the foot of Yangjia Mountain
The two small flats at the foot of the mountain belonged to Zhang Feng's family, which had been used to grow corn in the past.

But this year, Zhang Feng doesn't plan to plant all corn. Apart from planting six or seven cents, other Zhang Feng plans to plant other fruits.

Zhang Feng already has some ideas about what to plant, but he hasn't made a final decision yet.

"Okay, Yiyi get out of the car."

Parking the car at Sanjiao, Zhang Feng grabbed a bag of fertilizer with one hand and threw it into his own field. With three or two strokes, five or six bags of fertilizer in a car were emptied.

"Madman, how do you sow the seeds?" Yiyi asked Zhang Feng in a daze as she looked at the loess in front of her with two small bags of corn seeds.

"Hehe, don't be too busy. I haven't dug the hole yet. When I finish digging the hole, you can just throw seeds in it. Just throw three or four seeds into the right hole."

"Ah, so the seeds are sown like this, I thought they were just sown in the ground like this!!" Yiyi said with a surprised smile.

"Then how is it possible? The ancient slash-and-burn farming was about the same? Now it's all intensive farming. If the seeds are scattered casually, how can the corn grow neatly in the field?" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"Hee hee, haven't I seen it before?" Yiyi smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly, knowing that Yiyi lived in the city since she was a child, and had never been exposed to farm work since she was a child. It's not because she was not spoiled, but because the environment is different. Now everyone's living environment has improved, and various living habits have also changed.

In the past, children played in the mud all day long, played marbles, hide-and-seek, and played house, but now the children in the city, who still play these things, are almost all looking at the beaming bald-headed strong, and the older ones Play King's Poison, and accidentally poison all your teammates to death.

It rained heavily two days ago
Therefore, there is still some humidity in the ground, and there is no need to worry about water shortage when planting corn.

"Yiyi, you see, to plant corn, first dig a small hole [-] to [-] centimeters deep, and then you can sow the seeds."

"Hee hee, is that so?" Yiyi grabbed a few corns and carefully put them into the pit.

After Zhang Feng saw it, he smiled slightly, "Yes, that's it."

Zhang Feng's super physical fitness made his work extremely easy, and the digging was over in less than half an hour.

Turning around to look at Yiyi, I saw that the big beauty was still sowing corn, her movements had become much more proficient, and she gradually seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

Smiling, Zhang Feng opened the bag containing the farmyard manure, picked up the fertilizer with his left hand, and the farmyard manure with his right hand, and threw them into the sown pit.

Maybe some people will say that if you grab it with your hands, will there be something like that?

But who cares so much when doing farm work? ?Can you work with gloves on?

Whoa whoa whoa! ! !
Zhang Feng was fast, like a fairy scattering flowers, grabbing the fertilizer and throwing it in the pit. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than half an acre of corn was fertilized.

"Wow, madman, why are you so fast?" Yiyi asked in surprise, thinking that it took him a long time to sow corn seeds, but Zhang Feng finished fertilizing in less than a quarter of an hour, and the gap was too big.

"Hehe, what's the matter, practice makes perfect, and besides, I'm also strong. Carrying a bag of chemical fertilizer is like carrying straw, so the work must be fast." Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"Crazy, can't we just fill up the hole?" Yiyi asked curiously again.

"Not bad!"

However, although filling the soil is simple, it is also a bit particular. The picture to be filled should preferably be moist soil, and there should be no big bumps.

Moist soil can speed up the germination of seeds, while hard soil blocks will block the corn buds, making the corn seedlings grow crooked and cracked, which will strongly affect the subsequent growth of corn.

"How long does it take for the crazy corn to germinate?" Yiyi asked curiously.

"Soon, as long as there is enough water, the buds will grow within two or three days at most!!" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"Crazy, don't we plant the rest?" Yiyi asked suspiciously when she saw that there was still more than half of the open space.

"I don't want to plant too much. I can't finish it at home." Zhang Feng smiled and continued: "I plan to plant the rest with fruit trees. Planting corn is not only troublesome but also less profitable."

"Oh!!" Yiyi nodded understandingly.

The income from planting one mu of corn is only a few thousand a year. This is the result of planting high-grade corn. If you grow ordinary corn, you can earn a thousand a year, thank God.

Therefore, Zhang Feng plans to plant fruit trees in the open space. Of course, it cannot be ordinary fruits such as peaches and plums, but more advanced fruits.
