Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1776 Gradually getting used to and liking

Deng Shan looked at the newly sent seeds, and at the same time there was a detailed instruction book on how to plant, which introduced the habits of this crop, planting methods, methods of saving seeds, methods of top dressing, etc. The pictures are very detailed.

You only need to follow the corresponding method to plant according to the season. It is easy to start planting, and there is not much difficulty.

"Purple onions?"

Deng Shan looked at the large carts of purple onion seeds that were sent over. It was the first time Deng Shan had encountered this purple onion, and he had never seen it before.

Flipping through the instruction book, he read it carefully and studied it seriously. When the seeds arrive, they will naturally be planted soon. If the farming season is delayed, he, an immigration official, will be held accountable.

In fact, this purple onion is the onion of later generations. It is a vegetable native to West Asia and Central Asia. Because of its high yield and good taste, it can also be used to eliminate fishy smells. Therefore, it has become a vegetable that is widely grown in Hezhong, Nanyun Province, Western Regions and other places.

Moreover, it was included and selected by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Ming Dynasty, and it was promoted on a large scale in the northern area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. There are large-scale plantations in Shandong, Beizhili, Liaodong and other places. In winter, it is an extremely important, cheap and delicious one. grow vegetables.

As a southerner, Deng Shan saw this purple onion for the first time.

"It's very simple. It just takes a little longer for the seeds to be harvested. If the yield is high enough, it is indeed very suitable for planting here in the Black Soil Province."

"I heard that the land here is very cold and long, and the climate can be compared with that of Liaodong. If there are no vegetables to eat in winter, the impact will still be great."

After reading it in detail, Deng Shan also found that this purple onion is not difficult to grow. Since he became an official of the Immigration Department, Deng Shan also found that he is almost a good farmer. He has learned more than a dozen years before and after. The main crops, vegetables and other planting methods.

This is also one of the jobs of the immigration agency, guiding the immigrants to grow food and crops. Only after the immigrants have adapted to everything here and fully mastered the cultivation of crops here can the officials of the immigration office really relax.

"Come here, inform the immigrants to come to the fields outside the town to learn how to grow purple onions."

After reading it, Deng Shan also immediately notified the yamen servants, ready to teach everyone how to plant purple onions.

There has been a lot of delay in the delivery of this kind of seed, if it is delayed any longer, it may be damaged, and the seed must be planted as required after the seed comes down.

In a field outside Shangyun Town, many immigrants were called together, and the officials from the immigration department held tin trumpets to teach everyone how to grow purple onions.

Li Da and Tian Sanwa were learning while watching, and they also found it a bit unbelievable that these officials and lords would go down to the fields in person and teach everyone how to plant crops, which is really unbelievable.

It is said that all things are inferior, but reading is high. Since ancient times, these scholars have been quite noble, let alone these officials who are officials.

But now, the officials of the Immigration Department are wearing official uniforms here to teach everyone how to grow purple onions. Seeing his proficiency, those who don’t know still think that he is an old farmer.

It doesn’t matter if you just know how to plant, the key is to be able to speak, explaining the planting methods of purple onions endlessly, combined with demonstrations, it is also for everyone to hear clearly and clearly.

"Everyone go to collect the seeds. After receiving the seeds, just plant them all."

Hearing the words of Mr. Deng Shandeng from the Immigration Department, Li Dahe Tian Sanwa also rushed to get their own purple onion seeds.

"What does this purple onion taste like?"

"I've never eaten it."

Li Da received the purple onion and looked at it with great interest.

Since immigrating to this black soil province, there are many new things. Rice cannot be grown here, so everyone is arranged to learn how to grow wheat. Although it is not yet the season for growing wheat, everyone still learns it over and over again, anyway. It's not too much,

In addition to learning how to grow wheat, the immigration office also distributes some seeds from time to time and guides everyone to plant them.

Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, cowpeas, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, leeks, rape, etc. Although the wheat planting season is over now, there are still some vegetables that can be planted.

This is also an eye-opener for Li Da and Tian Sanwa who grew up in the mountains. There are so many types of vegetables, and it seems that this black land can be grown.

Think about it again when I was in the mountains before, there were very few varieties that could be planted, and often when the vegetables changed seasons, there was nothing to eat.

It's all right now, every family's fields have been reclaimed, and various seeds have been planted, and they are waiting for the harvest in autumn and winter.

Time is also passing slowly day by day.

From the beginning, Li Da had too many and too many discomforts, felt very lonely and lonely, and gradually began to adapt to life here.

Here, he also gradually became familiar with his neighbors and the like, and gradually had a good relationship with them.

Among his neighbors is Li Nick from Nanyun Province, a tall and strong man. Although he doesn't speak Ming dialect very well, he is very kind, very warm-hearted and helpful. The fields of the two families are also tight. Next to it, Nick Li often taught Li Da how to grow some crops that Li Da didn't understand.

At the same time, Li Nick's family knew that Li Da's daughter-in-law was pregnant and was about to give birth, so they were also very enthusiastic. They would often send some raisins over, saying that eating more would be good for the pregnant woman's health.

And sometimes when Li Da went out to work, Li Nick's wife would also help take care of Li Da's wife, coming and going, and the relationship between the neighbors was very harmonious.

There are also two husbands and wives from Wang Kaiwen's family from Hezhong Province. Wang Kaiwen is still very young, only eighteen years old, and he and his wife have not been married for a long time, so their skin is relatively thin.

But Wang Kaiwen has studied in a new school, can read and write, and knows a lot of things, and he immigrated from the Hezhong area. Divide money.

Therefore, Wang Kaiwen bought a cultivator early on, plowed out his own field early, and continued to cultivate the unowned wasteland, and then used mechanized seeding methods to plant it early. A lot of crops.

The immigrants from the Hezhong area are considered to be the most educated, knowledgeable, and cost-effective among the many immigrants. Moreover, Wang Kaiwen can often receive bacon, bacon, sausages, fine wines, etc. sent from the Hezhong area at home. of.

Wang Kaiwen is also generous to his neighbors. Neighbors like Li Nick and Li Da often receive all kinds of bacon and sausages from Wang Kaiwen's family.

Moreover, Wang Kaiwen will also drive his own cultivator to help neighbors plow the land.

To be honest, the first time Li Da saw Wang Kaiwen start plowing the land with the tiller, he was also deeply shocked by the powerful efficiency of the tiller.

There is no need for horses or oxen. I drive the machine and walk in the fields, and the plow behind the machine will plow the land, and the plowing is still very deep, which is far from when I was in the mountains before. What can be compared with the old scalper's cultivated land.

The fields in mountainous areas are very barren, with only a thin layer of soil, so it cannot be plowed very deeply. Of course, if cattle are used to plow the land, it cannot be plowed very deep.

Using machines is different. The land here in Black Soil Province is very fertile, thick, and flat. Machines can plow very deeply, and they can directly dig out all the roots of weeds. They will die after exposure to the sun.

If the plowing is done again this spring, all kinds of pests can be turned out. When the weather is cold, they can freeze to death directly, and the pests and diseases can be much less.

Here in Shangyun Town, Li Da is experiencing new things every day. Immigrants from all over the world brought different delicacies from their hometowns, and the exchanges with each other also gave Li Da a taste of various delicacies. .

Every day, neighbor Wang Kaiwen would buy a newspaper, and then the neighbors would sit together. After reading the newspaper, he would also tell everyone about the new things that happened in Daming and even the whole world.

In the past, Li Da knew very little about the outside world, and it was just something that the mountain people passed on by word of mouth, but now, because of the contact with the immigrants in the small town.

Here, there are immigrants from all over the Ming Dynasty, and people from each place have their own characteristics. A few tribe immigrants from the Western Regions will tell you how to make delicious sesame candy, how to grow grapes and so on.

Immigrants from Namyun Province will tell you that the scenery here in Namyun Province is extremely beautiful, and tell you how to make good wine. Immigrants from Ha Tinam Province will tell you that you must use machines to cultivate land so that large-scale planting can be achieved. Machines save labor and time, and people are also relaxed.

An immigrant from the Yunnan-Guichuan area will tell you that the roads in the Yun-Guichuan area are like natural moats, which are very difficult to pass. He will tell you where people’s favorite food is pepper, and let you taste the numbing and spicy taste.

There is also an immigrant from the big city of Tianjin. He will tell you about the hustle and bustle and bustle in the city, and tell you about the golden lights of the treasure ships coming back from Tianjin Port. Of course, he will also tell you in the end that he is tired of working nine nights in the factory. Five's life, so I also chose to immigrate to Heitu Province to live a relatively free life.

Here, Li Da gets to know new people and things every day, and gradually gets used to the life here and falls in love with it.
