Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 293 Berkeley Composting
Big Year.

6 The members of the production team were called to go up the mountain to dig wild yams by Peng Zhikun, the production team leader, early in the morning.

And in the headquarters of the Zhengxing Brigade.

The old branch secretary and the team leader sent people to look for Luo Xuan.

Please gather Luo Xuan, the female director, brigade accountant, custodian, and militia captain.

Everyone's faces were serious, and everyone was discussing with a heavy heart. This year, the nearly 2000 members of the Zhengxing Brigade can survive the spring famine.

"According to the news, the Yuwang production team, this year's members are celebrating the New Year!"

"Because the Yuwang production team has enjoyed a bumper harvest this year, the collective book balance has reached xxxxx yuan!"

"The person in charge of the canteen carefully planned and arranged reasonably. During the Spring Festival this year, the canteen of the Yuwang production team carefully prepared 29 rich and varied dishes for the members to celebrate the Spring Festival."

"According to the cadres of the production team, during the new year this year, the per capita pork consumption of the production team members reached 29 catties, 5 taels and 3."

"Per capita consumption of fish is 2.61 catties; poultry is 5.35 catties; eggs are 2.33 catties; fruits"

"Good news, good news!"

"According to the good news from Beihe, this year, the Tangzha Brigade has another bumper harvest! It is understood that this is the fifth consecutive bumper harvest year for the production team.

The members of the club were all smiles, and they bought various items one after another to welcome the Spring Festival.”

Turn off the radio.

The old branch secretary had a gloomy face, and slowly sat on the shabby chair without saying a word.

The head of the women's brigade muttered, "It would be nice if we in the production team could live a good life like that."

The accountant said: "I don't care about other people now, how did they do it, but our production team has no food left. Sigh."

"Luo Xuan, after the new year, the brigade will start organizing members of the production teams to prepare for spring plowing."

Team leader Liao Xianming patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder with a complicated expression, "We all know that you have a lot of knowledge and a lot of tricks."

"I invited you here today. I just want you to talk about it. We don't expect that our brigade can also reach the grain output of those production teams in brother provinces and cities."

The team leader stared at Luo Xuan with flickering eyes and asked: "What measures should we take, and what aspects should we start with, so that the canteen can overcome the difficulty of food shortage?"

Luo Xuan spread his hands, "In the storage room of our brigade, there are only war provisions and seeds for spring plowing.

The current method, other than using these grains, is to buy them outside. "

"Battle food, who dares to move?!"

Captain Liao stared at him, "I've eaten the seeds, so what will I use for spring plowing?
Buying grain outside, now do you know what price a catty of corn sells for? "

Luo Xuan said: "Now a catty of corn sells for 7 cents and 9 cents. But if you don't buy it now, after a while, Uncle, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it for 3 yuan per catty."

"3 yuan a catty? Let him grab it!"

Captain Liao was originally grumpy, but now in the Zhengxing Brigade, the eight production teams are seriously short of food.

then,

Captain Liao spoke even more aggressively: "It really doesn't work, just apply to the higher authorities! Just say it."

The old party secretary said quietly: "Let's say we are short of food, and we can't cook in the big cafeteria. In a few days, the commune members will be so hungry that they can't bear it anymore?"

The accountant spread his hands: "Old man, what else can we say?"

The old party secretary asked him, "Did we suffer a disaster, or did the warehouse run out of water? Why should we apply to the higher authorities? Since nothing happened, the higher authorities will agree to sell our food back?"

The old party secretary stood up slowly, "First use the war reserve and say it was my suggestion, then insist on your own opinion and force you to agree."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in dismay.

The word "Shock" was written all over his face!

Although everyone has never seen the consequences of using combat food supplies.

But everyone present could have imagined it: it was not just as easy as self-criticism and criticism!
If it is not done well, it will be dismissed and investigated.
But if you don't use the war food preparation, wait until the Chinese New Year is over and the canteen continues to cook for the big guys.

What are you going to cook with?
Liao Xianming sighed, "Luo Xuan, tell me about this year's spring plowing. How can we increase the grain harvest?"

Luo Xuan chuckled: "Uncle, the production team only has so many acres of land. Since the land is fixed, it is impossible to increase it.

If we want to increase the grain output of our Zhengxing brigade, we have to work hard on the yield per mu. "

The head of the women's brigade replied, "We also understand the principles you said. But how can we increase the yield per mu?"

Luo Xuan looked hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, the old branch secretary waved his hands: "You all go out. This matter is just me and Captain Liao in charge.

Whatever happens in the future will be borne by the two of us. "

The head of the women's brigade, the accountant of the brigade, and the company commander of the militia looked worriedly at the old branch secretary and the brigade captain.

After all, he left the office with a solemn expression.

Although they didn't know what kind of suggestion Luo Xuan would make.

But in their hearts, everyone was guessing that something might be wrong!
The responsibility is heavy, if you don't pay attention, you will be a cliff
until the crowd leaves,

Luo Xuan said in a low voice: "My proposal is to vigorously develop composting, farmyard manure, and composting technologies."

The team leader said: "A crop is a flower, and it all depends on the fertilizer. What you said is reliable, but we also understand this truth."

Luo Xuan asked him back, "Uncle, do you know how to compost? Members of our production team, do you really know how to compost?"

The team leader just wanted to say: We have been planting the land all our lives, and our ancestors invented composting technology long ago.

Why did I come to you, but it became that we can't do this, and we can't do that?

Captain Liao, who was about to speak, was stopped by the old branch secretary with a look.

Luo Xuan lowered his voice and said to Liao Xianming, "Uncle, have you heard of the Berkeley composting method?"

Captain Liao was stunned: "I often play with the shell gun, but what are you talking about?"

Berkeley composting is a very efficient and simple composting method.

It is completely different from the "cold composting" technology commonly used in rural areas.

This Berkeley topdressing method uses 1/3 of manure,
1/3 sawdust, dry grass, dead branches and fallen leaves.

There are also 1/3 of the weeds and vines piled together for fermentation, so as to obtain high-quality and efficient farmer's manure technology.

It is different from the previous traditional farm composting technology.

The Berkeley composting technology requires setting up a chimney on the composting mound to adjust the temperature of the materials used for composting in the mound at any time.

Generally speaking,
To get a cubic yard of manure, use the Berkeley composting technique.

Back and forth, it takes a total of 18 days.

Calculated according to the second day of junior high school, spring plowing begins.

During this time, two batches of farmyard manure just happened to be obtained.

If this kind of fertilization technology is promoted on a large enough scale, it will be enough for spring plowing in the production team.

And currently.

The composting technology commonly used by various production teams was invented by Heward in England in 1920, using livestock manure, leaves, and domestic waste.

Perform anaerobic fermentation to obtain farmyard manure.

This technique is called solid waste composting.

It takes a long time to ferment with this technology, at least half a year.

Judging from the current time period, it is too late to say nothing, and the effect of using Berkeley's retting technology is not good.

The old branch secretary and team leader listened to Luo Xuan's detailed explanation.

Liao Xianming asked half-believingly, "Can this method work?"

"do not know!"

Luo Xuan replied angrily: "I am only responsible for providing suggestions. Only time will prove the specific effect.

Whether or not to adopt this technology is up to you two leaders to decide. "

"Yo, Luo Xuan, you bastard, you have resentment in your heart!"

The old branch secretary joked: "Why, do you have any more scary bad ideas behind you that you want to say?
Now seeing the captain, he expressed doubts about your proposal, and you feel annoyed? "

Luo Xuan chuckled: "The old branch secretary's eyes are bright. That's right! Even such a simple composting technology is not dared to adopt. Then who is willing to talk about the rest, who dares to talk about it?"

The old branch secretary smiled and said, "I agree with this matter! It's only half a month or so, I'll go and gather people in a while. First get a few hundred piles of it and then talk about it."

Luo Xuan gave a thumbs up to the old party secretary, "Why don't our old leaders have the courage to do experimental composting, and there are thousands of piles at once! It's amazing."

The old branch secretary was taken aback when he heard the words: What I just said seems to be, yes, hundreds of piles, right?

Liao Xianmin stretched out his hand and slapped Luo Xuan,

He laughed and scolded: "Don't play tricks here! You praised the old party secretary for being good, and then belittled me by turning a corner, right?

Hehe, I just questioned it a little bit, the method you mentioned, is it just like this to hold grudges against me? "

Luo Xuan sighed maturely: "Uncle, if you waste a little manpower, go get thousands of piles of compost.

If you dare not agree to such a trivial matter, the method I will tell you next may scare you into fainting. Uncle, you should sit on the stool now and sit firmly. "

"Hey, you little bastard!"

Liao Xianming was furious: "I am also the one who crawled out of the hail of guns and bullets and the sea of ​​corpses and blood. I, my mother, will be fainted by you?!"

The old party secretary beside him was full of complacency.

He completely forgot about the incident that Luo Xuan had darkened him just now!

He smiled and said: "Look, I said that Luo Xuan definitely has a bigger idea behind him."

Captain Liao stared at Luo Xuan.

Said in a deep voice: "Come on, I've already sat firmly, but you tell me, what other ideas do you have that can scare me to the point of fainting?"

Luo Xuan asked him, "Uncle, if we have farmyard manure and spread it on the ground, can we grow crops?"

Captain Liao shook his head, "No."

"Hi~"

The old branch secretary was shocked: "Luo Xuan, don't you think it's your idea to harvest the batch of seeds in the storage room?"

During this period, the rice, corn, and wheat seeds can all be saved and planted by themselves.

Now the grain seeds in each production team and storage room are picked out one by one by all the members lying on the ground.

It can be said that these seeds have been carefully selected by the members.

None of them are the kind that are not full enough.

There is not one grain, the color is not correct!

"Replace grain seeds!"

Wait until Luo Xuan makes his proposal.

Sitting backwards on the chair, Liao Xianming, who had his hands on the back of the chair, let out a "gudong"!
and fell to the ground.
