Chapter 68, Corn Soybeans
Opening up wasteland is not just picking up the weeds except stones and plowing the land. If you want to harvest well, you have to dig the land over and over again, crushing the soil and turning it into soft land.

One mu of land is more than 600 square meters. On modern farming, it can be done in a few strokes, but in ancient times when it was all dependent on manpower, it took half a day to work on one mu of land, not to mention that the harvest of newly opened fields is unknown. No one bothered.

"Interplanting? What is interplanting?"

Sun Ming's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, seeing the daughter-in-law of the fourth family is not easy, so what kind of interplanting should they do?I haven't heard of it for many years. A girl from a scholar's family can fix this, can it work?
"Intercropping is to plant two incompatible crops on the same land, soybean and corn, one tall and the other short, not only do not interfere with each other, but also grow mutually."

Xiaoqing began to explain this truth to Sun Ming with gestures.

"Look, if I plant corn on the four sides of this long land, the higher part of the corn can trap the water vapor in the middle, so that the low soybeans in the middle can get more water. If soybeans are planted on the four sides, then The sun can shine more on the underside of the corn, and the corn can grow better than a field full of corn. Even if the yield per mu cannot be doubled, it is not a problem to increase it by [-] to [-] percent."

"hiss"……

Sun Ming took a deep puff of the pipe, his eyes narrowed.

"Don't talk about it, what you said is a bit straightforward. I understand it. Is it troublesome when you accept it?"

"It's all from our own land. The meat is rotten in the pot. Doesn't my family raise pigs and ducks? The soybean dregs are good for raising livestock. Even if people eat them, they will nourish the body just like eating eggs."

"Nonsense, this bean dregs pancake is pig food, how can people eat it?"

"When you have beans, I'll make you a taste, I'm sure you'll want to eat them again."

In Xiaoqing's heart, she wanted everyone in Liucun to quickly grow food. After all, no matter how extraordinary her own efforts were, that was the case. How could it be compared to everyone working together.

The Zhou family who raised pigs was on the other side of the town, and they walked for an hour and a half. Although they were not far away, the Yang Village where the Zhou family lived seemed to be more prosperous than Dazhang Village and Dalius Village. The houses were spacious and the roads Also flatter.

When they passed by, the Zhou family was handing over the procedures for selling the house to the villagers, and it seemed that they didn't plan to come back.

"Zhou Da is the head of the family. I belong to Wang Butcher's family in the town. The family my father mentioned is here. You can discuss it."

"Hey, honored guest, wait a moment, then, Cuihua, show the room to the guests and serve good tea! You sit down, I'll be right back."

As soon as the master of the Zhou family raised his head, the round nose with the head far away, coupled with the round belly, almost made Xiaoqing laugh. Isn't this Zhu Bajie himself.

Master Pig bowed to them from a distance, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

The Zhou family's house is a courtyard with two entrances, inside and outside. Although it is a peasant family, it has a bit of elegance, which is hard to think of as a professional pig farmer.

The clean blue brick and tile house is well organized, and the rosewood furniture is even more eye-catching.

A middle-aged woman wearing a vermilion one-piece smock came from the backyard. Her face was fair and rich, and she seemed pampered at first glance. She didn't fit in with this small village.

"Several distinguished guests, please sit down. The head of my family will come as soon as he has settled the affairs of this house. The others are busy packing and moving. Please forgive us for neglecting you."

"Oh my sister, you are so polite. We are not outsiders. How many years have we paid for it? Your family is well-developed. You don't want such a good house anymore?"
