cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 18 Two Pigs

The weather forecast is seldom accurate, and today is no exception. The forecasted moderate rain did not fall, but it was a day of drizzle. Sun Xiaolei was sent away, and Zhang Wei and his father picked up the shovel in the afternoon and went to dig the ground. The fish pond is gone.

The three of Sun Xiaolei's vegetables worked together, and the picking was completed quickly. The cucumber guy picked 150 catties in one go, and it took only one night. Yesterday, I saw that the effective rolling pin thick cucumbers grew up again today. The big cucumbers probably have a Zhang Wei didn't expect that these two cucumbers could tie so well.However, looking at the small yellow flowers blooming on the shelf and the small cucumbers all over it, one knows that there will be another good yield in two days.However, the picked cucumbers, even if they weigh a pound, still look very green and tender with flowers and thorns on top, and they are still crisp, tender and delicious after a taste.It tastes so good that people can't help but want to eat again. At noon today, Sun Xiaolei's meal was reduced by more than half.I used to eat three bowls of rice, but today I only ate one bowl of rice. But, to be honest, it is very hard for this buddy to drive back and forth every day to pull vegetables.

For the old man's support, Zhang Wei was so moved that he had nothing to say.Others say that Zhang Wei is a city kid who doesn’t understand, and the old man will accompany him to do it together. A few years ago, Zhang Bing’s family learned a few years of technology outside, but they still can’t manage fish farming in rice fields, let alone him, a city kid. Yes, it’s okay to grow vegetables, but it’s not necessarily necessary to do this thing.No matter what others say, Mr. Zhang just smiled and said: "Xiaowei has the skills and can do it well, we believe it."

Knowing that the old man treats him well, otherwise he would not be like this to others. Zhang Wei said that he agreed to experiment with fish farming in the rice field and followed suit, not to mention what others said.The old man just said "letter".For the old man's support, Zhang Wei was sincerely moved. If he becomes a fairy in the future, he must give the old man some elixir to eat. Zhang Wei thought in his heart that the elixir is so easy to make.When he was in Tianting, Zhang Wei exchanged three 6000-year-old flat peaches for an elixir to try out. Anyway, he didn’t care whether his wish came true or not, and Zhang Wei was also running the train with his heart full.

Zhang Wei doesn't know why, but recently his strength has increased a lot. Before that, he would never have had such great stamina. Maybe it was the influence of the mustard space on him. Zhang Wei, who couldn't find the obvious reason, could only do this. We are making conclusions, but it is an indisputable fact that the body is getting better every day.Zhang Wei likes this kind of good thing very much. At least he started to do farm work, and the speed is also very fast. The stronger the body, the better, and it is best if the body can be transformed into a fairy.Feeling that his body is getting better day by day, Zhang Wei is happy.

One afternoon, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei dug a fish pond at both ends of the paddy field wearing rain boots and raincoats. This kind of fish pond does not necessarily have to be deep, in fact, it can be more than one meter deep after filling with water.Therefore, it is not too much effort to dig, and the soil dug out can be cultivated on the ridge of the field. However, this kind of pond can only be used for a year at most, and it will definitely not work next year, because the silt will almost fill the pond. It's half done.The formal paddy fields of southerners are all built with cement.

After finishing everything, the drizzle began to gradually turn into light rain. Perhaps, the forecast of the meteorological station may come true at night.

Regardless of whether it is light rain or moderate rain, the paddy field and fish ponds have been prepared now, and even the ridges of the paddy field have been raised a lot. Zhang Wei is as strong as a cow, and a shovel in his hand dances like flying off the accelerator In general, even the old man said that Zhang Wei had the demeanor of his youth. Seeing Zhang Wei's work speed, he said that time is not forgiving.I really don't know whether it is exaggerating Wei or boasting.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, and the seedlings will be planted tomorrow. After two days, when the seedlings start to take root, water can be added for flooding. When the water temperature is not freezing on a sunny day, it is time to release fish fry into the rice fields.If the water temperature is too cold, the fry will freeze to death as soon as they come into contact with the cold water.

After dinner in the evening, Zhang Wei found out that he hadn't done one important thing, that is, he was so focused on tidying up the rice fields and fish ponds that he forgot to sprinkle soil and inject some water into the rice fields.However, it is not easy to spread evenly on such a large area. You can't just grab a handful of breath soil out of thin air and sprinkle it in. If people see this, it will not be such a fun thing.At that time, so many people around the rice field were "guiding" and "discussing" Zhang Wei's fish pond, which really made it impossible for Zhang Wei to cheat.

Since you can't cheat, let it be clear.

"Master, how much pig manure does our family have? I mean the loose pig manure that Wu has made." Generally, when the pig manure comes out, it is used when farming according to the solar terms in the countryside, and it is usually piled in the Let it ferment together, and after a long time, it will dry naturally, and when it needs to be used for farming, the pig manure will almost turn into sandy soil, and it will be evenly spread in the field, and the fertilizer efficiency will be improved a lot.

"There is still a lot of pig manure in our family. If you go to the land, you can just go to the village to pull it. That piece belongs to our family. Xiaowei, you said pig manure, and I remembered another thing. You said that our family's Did the two pigs grow a little bigger? I couldn’t see the growth before.” Mr. Zhang was also a little puzzled in his heart. The pigs used to feed them some food and other subsidies. Several partners kill and eat separately, and the pork cooked by their own family is also delicious, and they can live a big and fat year.

But this year's pigs not only didn't feed any grain, but only ate some weeds or green vegetable leaves in the vegetable field, and they started to gain weight at this time. In the past, the pigs could not see a big change in a month, and they were fed for a year. That is, it looks like more than 200 catties and [-] catties.But now the piglet's fur is obviously shiny, and it looks like it is about to gain weight.The originally thin buttocks began to plump up.

However, thinking of pigs, Mr. Zhang thought of himself again. Recently when he got up in the morning, his waist was not as painful as before. It seems that he has more patience to work now than before. If the two acres of rice seedlings used to be bigger It took half a day, but it was done in one morning this morning.The recent mental head is obviously much stronger than before.

"Master, those two pigs are still so big to me, and they haven't grown much after they've been here for so many days. However, their fur looks better. I guess it's because the weather is getting warmer and the pigs are starting to grow. Our pigs grow slowly enough. If you haven’t seen pigs in other farms, they grow fast. They can grow more than 300 catties in four months. However, my father always said that the pork sold in supermarkets is not When I was in the countryside, the home-raised pigs were delicious, and when these two pigs grow up, let’s kill one and taste it, I haven’t tasted the taste of the pigs raised by myself.” When it comes to eating Zhang Wei It's exciting, just talking about pork can make your mouth water.

Seeing Zhang Wei's greedy mouth, Grandpa Zhang couldn't help but want to laugh, this kid is just delicious, and he is really similar to his father in this respect.When Zhang Ye and Zhang Wei’s father were young, they were the famous gluttonous duo in the village. When they were young, they had food in the mountains, outside the mountains, in the fields, and in the water. As long as they could be eaten, they really didn’t eat them. Otherwise, can Master Zhang find that kind of food that is especially delicious in the snow?As for what it is, we really have to wait until winter and find it before we know.After Zhang Wei's interruption, Grandpa Zhang stopped thinking about his pig.However, if the change of the pig is said to be blurred by his own eyesight, then the change of his body can be experienced personally.
