Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 91 Liming

At this moment, it is already the middle of May, and the rice seedlings in the field are growing lushly, and as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of ​​green.

The Jiang family started making fertilizer again. After a few days, the rice seedlings in the field will begin to boot. At that time, sprinkle a little slaked lime, which can not only prevent pests and diseases, but also improve the structure of the soil, making it more transparent and effective. Better water and fat retention.

In the previous April, the Jiang family burned the ashes in the yard of their house, and many people from the neighbors saw it.

People passing by all asked, what is this doing, the smoke and dust are billowing.

Jiang Shi, Lin Ru and Shen Chenlan didn't hide anything, saying that they were making fertilizer.

Shen Chenlan was still eager to tell everyone, but the villagers seemed not at all interested in burning plant ash for fertilization, and even slightly disliked it.

However, these did not dampen Shen Chenlan's determination. Since they don't believe it, they will wait until the harvest time to discuss the results.

Now the Jiang family has started making slaked lime again, throwing a few limestones into the pit, which has already been filled with water.

As soon as quicklime meets water, it immediately boils and smokes.

Shen Chenlan looked at the smoke, thinking that the air was fresh in ancient times, and he should not affect the environment by doing so.

After all, his small-scale workshop is far from the overall industrial scale.

However, when Jiang Shi went back to fertilize this time, he was more confident than last time.

For no other reason, he went to the field every day to stare at the rice seedlings, to see if the fields that had been fertilized with vegetation and ash were of any use.

It's useless, it's okay to say, it's just a waste of work.

It would be a big deal if the seedlings in his field stopped growing.

But the accident he imagined did not happen. He went to see it every day, but he saw that the seedlings in his own field grew better than those next door.

The waist of the rice seedling seemed to be thicker than that of others.

Brilliantly green.

Looking at it is refreshing.

At this moment, some villagers passing by saw him come to see him every day, and they couldn't help but notice something different.

He also said with a smile: "Old Jiang, is the water in your paddy field different from that in other places? Why do your seedlings grow so well?"

Jiang Shi was a little proud: "If you put fertilizer on it, can it be good? If it works later, I will tell you the recipe of this fertilizer."

"It can't be your plant ash again?"

Jiang Shi knew the meaning of the other party's teasing, so he clearly didn't believe his words, so he said: "It's just plant ash, mixed with some chicken excrement and pig manure, boil it in the earth pit for a few days, wait for the gas to dissipate, and then pick it out again." Just go to the field and sprinkle it..."

Listening to his eloquence, the man waved his hand, saying that he would stop talking and had to go home for dinner.

Jiang Shi wasn't discouraged either. He looked at it every day and could see that Miaozi was different, and others might not see the difference.

Wait a little longer and you will see the difference.

So this time Jiang Shi went to sprinkle slaked lime for a few days, and he had to ask more questions with the villagers, but when he heard that lime was being sprinkled in the field, he was immediately shocked.

I also advised him not to be so impulsive. If he turned around and burned the seedlings, he would not know where to cry.

Jiang Shi thought to himself, he wouldn't cry.

Now he doesn't want to talk to these villagers who are casually teasing, anyway, they don't believe it, and wait a little longer, wait for more than a month, in June and July, it can be harvested.

Let's talk then.

In fact, he was also worried, although he said that he trusted his son-in-law on the surface.

But the seedlings are growing well, if they can't produce tassels, it's useless.

Otherwise, after spending so much thought, what's the use of growing seedlings in the end.

Being able to produce ears is the most important thing.
