Chapter 89
It was Shen Yunxi who bought the rice today.At night, she secretly changed the rice without anyone noticing.

Now there are only three cows in the village, so a total of three plows were bought.There are 15 families in total, 15 shovels, 15 hoes, and 15 sickles, and all the silver is spent.

After loading the trucks, Village Chief Tian took the young and middle-aged people in the village to reclaim wasteland on the barren hills.

Women cannot do heavy work, but they can mow and weed together and open up wasteland.

Shen Yunxi and Zheng Guizhen also followed.

After mowing the grass on the hillside, the villagers began to drive the oxen to plow the field, pulling up the grass roots on the ground, and the land became soft.

Then build terraces and ridges according to the terrain.

There is a small stream flowing down the mountain.A ditch can be dug directly to divert the water, and then it can flow into the fields.

Shen Yunxi was very distressed when she saw the village head leading people to scatter the seeds directly in the terraced fields.

In modern scientific planting methods, it is best to soak these seeds for two days before growing seedlings and then transplanting.

Not only is it conducive to subsequent weeding and management, but also to increase yield due to good ventilation.

Obviously there is a scientific planting method, but Shen Yunxi doesn't know what to say.

Because even experienced farmers in the South do not know this method of cultivation.

She said it suddenly, and no one believed her.

Fortunately, these rice seeds are hardy to grow.There should be good yields, although yields will suffer.

There is a thick layer of bird droppings in the forest.Some people just scatter bird droppings on the ground.

Shen Yunxi hurriedly stopped him. "The guano is used together with some dead leaves to make fertilizer, which is more fertile."

Tian Ergou said: "But the local old farmer said that he can pour manure on the overturned soil and pour water into the ground. The land will become wet and there should not be too much water in the ground. Then he can sprinkle The rice is gone. But the old farmer also said that he can’t put too much manure in the soil, because too much will damage the seeds.”

Village head Tian also nodded repeatedly: "When we bought the iron plow, we talked to those old farmers who also bought iron plows, and they said the same thing."

In terms of farming, Tian Village Chief and Tian Ergou have absolute authority in the village.Shen Yunxi couldn't say anything.

In this case, Shen Yunxi will not argue.Let's talk about it later.

"Then listen to the old farmer!" Shen Yunxi replied: "But I dug some sweet potatoes in the dense forest on the other side of the Qingmei River. They are delicious. I will find a place to plant them. If the yield is high, I will give them away for free." Here are some seeds for you."

The elderly took their children, and the half-grown children were digging wild vegetables or fishing by the river.

A man has worked hard all day without enough food.

Tian Datou was very upset.He shouted to Chief Tian: "Look, Chief, we cultivate wasteland from morning till night. The food we cook now is wild vegetables. How can we work so hard?"

Chief Tamura looked at what everyone was eating.He didn't feel full either.He looked at Yang Dacui who was in charge of cooking. "Da Cui, is there nothing to eat?"

Yang Dacui sighed: "We don't have much food left. In the last two days, we ate food from Youqing's family and me, but our food was running out. We asked others for food, but they were unwilling to give it to us. .I can’t go to other people’s houses to grab food, can I?”

Yang Dacui is very angry today.Those who have food are unwilling to take it out, and they still eat with the villagers.

When Village Chief Tian heard this, veins twitched on his forehead, and he was very angry. "Who are these people? They eat together and don't bring food. You still have something to eat. Why don't you take it out?"
