Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 348 Guidance
Only then did old man Ding remind him that originally, Ding Xuewei wanted to keep a low profile for a while, but as soon as Xiaohua came up with the idea of ​​tinkering with fruit candy, she immediately felt that she was a little bit far away from the word alien.

After receiving the drawings, she asked like a big flower with great interest.

"Is there a way to get more wild vegetables?"

"... Open up a piece of land and plant it yourself." Dahua replied after hesitation.

No matter how many wild vegetables there are in the woods, you have to search for them one by one. The ones planted in the fields are different. Not only can it reduce the collection time, but also it is easy to control the amount needed.

Sweet potatoes have been planted wherever possible in the village, and most of the wild vegetables have just entered the flowering period, and it will take at least half a month to collect wild vegetable seeds.

"Sister Xuewei, when your woodland is reclaimed, Xiaohua and I should have enough money to open up an acre of land. After that, we will burn it and dry it in the sun. It will be just enough to sow seeds. The mustard harvest will be high. Then we will plant Mustard."

Compared with wild vegetables, she has more experience in growing green mustard.

Ding Xuewei was just probing, but he didn't think the little girl had already considered it.

"How about I lend you some money to buy a five-acre land for each person?" Her field will not be open for a few days!
Now those people who help her open the land are very attentive, and it takes less than six taels to open an acre of land.

In other words, one mu of land can be owned for about nine taels of silver.

According to the current income of the two sisters, they can open three acres a month, but if you delay for one more month, the money you can earn will be one month less. If you directly open the land and pay back the money slowly, it should not take two months. Repay the loan of ten mu of land.

"I'll settle the accounts for you~" They dare not even think about borrowing money: "If you plant the mustard in the middle of September, you can increase the production of earthworms by the end of September. Once doubled, your income can also jump from 30 taels to 60 taels, and if it doubles, it only takes one month for you to pay back the money.”

After increasing the output of earthworms, the sisters earn nearly one tael a day. If the food problem does not need to cost a manpower, the output of earthworms will naturally increase.

An income of 90 taels a month is really possible.

"In the city, you probably can't accept so many earthworms!" Da Hua was quite calm.

Ding Xue shook her head slightly: "Brother Chen Yu's Wanmiao quantity will continue to be invested until the end of the year. Ten days ago, the hens raised by various families in the village began to lay eggs. Next month, the first batch of sold into the city will be almost ready. By then Leaving aside whether someone will hatch successfully, the number of chicks hatched in the village can reach tens of thousands!"

Chen Yu has more than 5000 hens, and the number of chickens hatched for the first time exceeded [-]. However, in the previous two times, the chicks hatched in his village did not flow into the market, but were divided among the rich households and gentry in the mansion. Yes, except for the [-] invested in Fucheng, the rest were sent to various places.

It is also in July that more than 2 chicks are raised in the city, and the number of earthworms sold by the children will continue to increase.

In the village, the first batch of more than 350 chickens was divided up by everyone in the village, and the chickens that have been fattened from the beginning are competitive when they reach the age of laying eggs. The number of eggs laid in a day is as high as [-].

This time, there are only eggs provided by her, and there will be more next time. As the number of chickens doubles, the wild vegetables will continue to decrease.

The higher the cost of raising earthworms, the fewer people will be able to raise them, and more people will choose to delay the growth of chicken chicks at the price of cabbage given by them.

Even if winter vegetables are worth a penny or two catties, these earthworms are still not worth raising!

The minds of big and small flowers have been opened up. When Ding Xuewei said this, the calculations in his mind began to pop up. With this calculation, the demand for earthworms at the end of the month can almost double.

"If the drying of dried earthworms is stopped now, the output of earthworms will be more than five times that in a month's time. This amount of earthworms needs about [-] catties of food every day!" Dahua said, the more excited she became.

Xiaohua was in high spirits: "Seven hundred catties of vegetables are just..."

Not to mention the price of vegetables last year, but the price of wild vegetables today, the cost of a catty of earthworms is fifty cents.

Compared with [-] catties of vegetables per day, [-] catties of vegetables can be said to be an unreasonable increase in costs. That is to say, planting green mustard and raising earthworms is likely to be a loss-making business!
The more farming, the greater the loss.

The sisters who were originally full of confidence in the future suddenly became depressed.

Ding Xuewei, who seemed to be belatedly aware, propped her chin in silence for a long time.

Opening your mouth again is the key to solving the problem.

"You say, how many weeds can be produced in one acre of field? Can the growth rate of weeds catch up with the consumption rate of earthworms?"

Ding Xuewei suggested planting wild vegetables before, but now he suddenly mentioned planting weeds, no one was surprised.

If the conditions permit to do business without cost, they are willing to pay some costs if the conditions do not permit!

Seriously, the two girls thought about it.

"As for weeds, they will grow in seven or eight days. I don't know exactly how many weeds can grow in one mu of land!" Dahua frowned.

Xiaohua opened her mouth, and finally added: "The colder it is, the slower it will grow."

"But no matter how cold it is, weeds seem to grow faster than vegetables, right?" Ding Xue raised her eyebrows and asked.

The two little girls nodded in unison.

The growth power and growth speed of weeds are not comparable to vegetables or food!

"If you give grass seeds the right temperature and enough water, they should grow at their best."

"You mean the warm room?" Dahua understood in seconds: "This, isn't this too much?"

"How could it be?" Ding Xue beckoned slightly, and mysteriously let the two children approach her.

"When accelerating germination, a large pot can hold a lot of seeds. If there are enough seeds, do you think we can accelerate the growth in batches?"

What Dahua thought of was to build a greenhouse directly on the field to plant, and Ding Xuewei meant to urge water seedlings.

It is not only expensive to directly build a greenhouse, but also the weeds will lose their vitality if they are not exposed to light for a long time.

Ding Xuewei said that the water seedlings are different. Most seeds do not need light in the early stage of germination, as long as there is enough water in the early stage of growth.

"You mean, let's hire someone to collect the seeds, and then build a greenhouse to germinate them quickly?" Dahua's brain turned quickly, and she already understood Ding Xuewei's meaning: "It should be more appropriate to do it around the house, right?"

Without a large area of ​​land, naturally there is no need to borrow money to buy land.

"The price of sweet potatoes should be better next year. I think it would be better to plant a few acres." Ding Xuewei still thinks that they should borrow money.

At this time, Xiao Hua has no idea at all, looking at Da Hua with anticipation.

Ding Xuewei was also quite tired after beating around the bush and taking so much time to draw out the main purpose.

"Think about it carefully, and discuss it with everyone in the village."
