Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 24
"Silly boy, these few plants are not tangerines. What Sister Lian said is right. There are some fruits on them. Even the children in the village are unwilling to pick the oranges. If they are planted in the ground, they will only grow." It took up the fat." Aunt Lian said and wanted to use the hatchet to chop down those few orange trees.

The few orange trees planted on the ground also ate up the water and soil of Ge Village, and they were better off alive than dead.There are many ant holes on the bony branches, and it is unknown whether it can survive this winter.

"Sister Lian, you have to believe me. I read it from my grandfather's agricultural book. The fruits of these trees are not sweet. It's the wrong way to plant and pruning the branches. Take a look and see if there is a way to get rid of the ant nests. , "Xiao Xian dared to preempt the words and said that he was also inspired by those few mutated white pears.

The white pear can change from a two-year-old wild pear with poor taste to a high-quality 49-year-old high-quality pear variety. From the front and back, it is only because of eating Xiaoxian and a basin of wash water.After that, Xiaoxian watered it a few times, but the pear tree remained unchanged except that there were more green shoots on the top of the tree. 49 years is already the limit, and Xiao Xian's space is iron-grade, so the pear tree can't break through the 50-year limit of the copper product, but it is enough to transform pear trees and orange trees.

Those orange trees were also planted in a good position, close to the ridge of the field, and would not affect the normal planting of rice.Xiaoxian has no time to take care of it this year, but after the rice harvest is bumper, he can take care of it carefully.

When Sisters of Lian heard that it was from the books of Mr. Zhu, she believed it.She immediately bought dozens of egg shells from the villagers, dried them on the stove, and sprinkled them under the orange trees.

On the second day, Xiaoxian went to the field to have a look.The egg shells were gone, so I dug out the ant nest again, and a nest full of adult ant corpses came out. Aunt Lian used wet straw to fumigate by the tree for a long time to get rid of the remaining ant insects.

People who live in the mountains have accumulated experience in dealing with snakes, insects, rats and ants over the years.Xiao Xian was stunned watching from the side, never expecting that Aunt Lian would have such a trick.

"Little Xian, the ants are all cleared, and the grass is almost clean. Let's pick up a few haystacks, burn some straw ash, and put them in the field to fertilize the field. Those are all burying tasks, so you don't need to interfere. Sister Lian is going to the village Find some experienced hands, and it will be over in two days." After eliminating the ant nest, Aunt Lian followed to arrange the next thing. She said that the methods are all hundreds of thousands of years old in Chinese farming, and they are guaranteed to be released. Not wrong.

"Sister Lian, you said you want to use straw ash? No, the burnt grass ash is smoky and bad for people's health. I saw you had a cough a while ago. There are still a few white pears at home. Remember to take them home and stew them. I don’t want any straw ash here, I just need the alfalfa grass that I just dug out from the ground, and even the belt roots are all filled in the ground.” Xiaoxian said that it is the most commonly used method of fertilizing the soil in Yuntengmen .The method of burning straw is very popular in China, but the utilization rate is very low, and it has long been out of practice in foreign countries, that is, it is still fashionable in China's backward rural areas.

"Fill the weeds back, they will grow back again, and it will be troublesome next spring." The more Sisters of Lian listened, the more wrong she became, this cannot be left to Xiao Xian's discretion.According to the rules of the village, if the land in the village is used, one-third of the harvest will be handed over. If there is a good harvest next year, it will be paid back.Xiao Xian had a hippie smile on her face, and insisted not to let Sister Lian burn the straw.

After Sisters of Lotus went back, she told Zhu Shijun what Xiaoxian did. The old man only thought that Xiaoxian was just playing around, so she didn't take it to heart. A six-year-old child really grew a good harvest of rice. Come on, it's a weird thing, he just told Aunt Lian not to do what Xiao Xian said.

However, Xiao Xian disliked the haystacks that were not fertile enough, so Zhu Shijun used them.He bought a few bunches of straw that no one wanted in the field, split it into three or four sections with a hatchet, and buried them in the soil behind the house.Waiting for a winter, the straw is rotten, and it is the best material for fertilizing the field.It is now late autumn in the mountains, and the weather is getting colder every day. There is no way to plant rice this year.

A few days later, under the leadership of Mrs. Jin, several pig raising families in the village slaughtered five or six pigs.On the day of the pig slaughter, Aunt Lian was called to help out early in the morning.It was Liu Huzi who butchered the pigs in the village. He put the pigs on the shelf and stabbed them in with a knife.The pig's blood took several large washbasins, and the children in the village were very happy. The women boiled water, blanched the pig's hair, and boiled the pig's head. They were busy for several days.

During the few days when Aunt Lian was busy, there would be a sneaky little figure in the fields at the head of the village every day.Those alfalfa roots that had been piled up beside the ground and hadn't had time to be processed were piled back again.Xiaoxian noticed that a lot of alfalfa had already set seeds.She was not interested in watching the scene of slaughtering pigs in the village. It was so bloody that she lost even the interest in eating pork after watching it.

Zhu Shijun was not at home these days, and the village chief came several times, and the two seemed to be discussing something.Xiao Xian found a pair of scissors by the stove, sharpened them with a millstone, and then started working on those orange trees so that they could survive the winter.

After moving the grass, Xiaoxian didn’t use the washing water this time. Didn’t she still have a cotyledon of “sugar cane seedling” on her body? After soaking, the color faded a little.

At night, several families living at the head of the village heard the bubbling and fermenting sound of "gudong", but no one went to find out where the source of the sound was.

After the few live pigs were slaughtered, the village's clothes drying bamboo poles suddenly became in short supply.Xiaoxian took the lead in setting up a bamboo pole shelf at the door of Xiaoxian's house.

Zhu Shijun bought fifty catties of pork, and after buying it, Aunt Lian cut the meat into two or three centimeters thick and ten centimeters long pork slices.Each piece of meat is seven points fat and three points thin, which is the appropriate fat and lean part of the pig. It is soaked in soy sauce with chili and star anise for a day, then tied with a straw rope, picked a southerly day, and hung it on the It was exposed to the sun and the wind for a whole week, which attracted the cats and dogs in the village to circle the meat rack every day.

A few days later, after the soy sauce meat was collected, it became only two-thirds of its original size, and the color became burnt red. When I put it under my nose and smell it, the strong aroma of soy sauce had penetrated deep into the meat. Just looking at it makes one's mouth water.

On the afternoon when the soy sauce meat was collected, Zhu Shijun took more than a dozen pieces of meat, and then called the village head, saying that he was going to take Xiao Xian to Miao Village to make amends. Xiao Xian had long forgotten about this matter. , I have been crying all afternoon with a small face, how come it has been several months, and grandpa hasn't forgotten that incident?

In fact, Zhu Shijun also forgot about that incident, which was brought up by the village head of Ge Village.
