Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 24 Making Farm Manure
It was not until evening that Chen Shizhu came back from the outside, and there was no happy expression on his face.Li Yao asked puzzledly, only to find out that her father-in-law only bought back a few acres of land, but not the ancestral house.It turned out that the current owner refused to sell it back to the Chen family, which is no wonder, Li Yao heard from Chen Bao's family that the Chen family used to be a wealthy family, so this ancestral house must be a rare building in this village.

"Father, it's okay. When we have money in the future, if we buy it back at a high price, I don't believe that person even has money." Li Yao persuaded.

"In fact, some rooms in the ancestral house are also very dilapidated. If it is really bought back, it will need to be refurbished. Forget it, let's talk about it later. Now that I bought it back, I told them that I will wait for them Return the rice to us as soon as the rice is harvested." Chen Shizhu comforted himself.

"Father, did we use any fertilizer to grow rice in the past?" Li Yao asked.

"Use urine and feces." Chen Shizhu said.

"Pour it directly into the ground like this?"

"That's right, what's the problem?" Isn't everyone doing this, Chen Shizhu didn't understand why his daughter-in-law asked this question.

"Father, I read some methods of making fertilizer in the book. Fermenting those urine and feces and so on before applying them to the field will be more useful than pouring them directly into the field. Father, why don't we save more fertilizer while we have time now? Bar."

"If it works, let's do it." Chen Shizhu had already obeyed the wife's words, and never doubted what she said.

"Okay, then I will teach Baojia how to retting fertilizer tomorrow, and then I will go to the town to see if there are any vacant shops."

"Are you really planning to do business in the town?" Chen Shizhu asked.

"Yes, Dad."

"Then have you thought about what kind of business to do?" Chen Shizhu asked again.

"I originally wanted to sell pastries, but the pastry shops in the town are not doing very well. I saw that everyone likes to eat brine yesterday. I think it's better to open a brine shop and sell some pig offal and meat in the town. It should be It works." Li Yao originally wanted to open a pastry shop in the town, and she also had ready-made sweet potatoes at home, so she could make a few more tricks, but after seeing pastries in the town, she gave up on this idea.After all, there are not many rich people in this small town, and at most they just occasionally buy a few pastries for the children at home. If you want to make money with pastries, it seems quite difficult.

"Well, this idea can be tried. Have you calculated how much it will cost?" Chen Shizhu was also full of praise for the taste of the brine, and he would agree if it could be sold for money.

"Father, the cost has not yet been calculated, but I still have more than ten taels of silver in my hand."

"Well, then you can figure it out. Now that Bin'er is back, you can discuss anything with Bin'er." Chen Shizhu said.

"Father, I know."

Early the next morning, Li Yao called Chen Bao's family up and taught him how to make farm manure.He also told him how to choose a place for retting, and how to dig a pit for retting, which ones are used as base fertilizer and which ones are used as top dressing.Chen Baojia was originally a smart kid who knew everything.

"Sister-in-law, why does this fertilizer have to be divided into base fertilizer and top-dressing fertilizer?" Although the sister-in-law just told him what base fertilizer and top-dressing fertilizer are, Chen Bao's family was still a little puzzled. Well, why did my sister-in-law say that fertilization should be done before transplanting the seedlings? Isn't this a waste?

"This basal fertilizer is mainly to add nutrients to the land. This land is planted every year, and there is no fertilizer. The land is barren. How can it be possible to produce high-yielding rice?"

"Nutrition?" Chen Baojia didn't quite understand.
