Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 138 Starting to Plant Seedlings
Zhuifeng, the old man Xu, and the third child of the Huang family came to the old Huang's house in the countryside. An ox cart was parked outside the yard, and the medicine seedlings and seeds had been unloaded in the yard.

Lao Huang is explaining the names, medicinal properties and lighting preferences of medicinal materials to the tenants in the courtyard.

Before entering the hospital, Lao Huang's son shouted, "Father, we are back."

The tenant farmers in the yard all looked at the gate of the yard, and when they saw the wind, they all stepped forward and shouted "Chasing the boss".

Zhufeng saluted with a smile one by one, and then introduced the old man Xu to everyone: "This uncle Xu has been planting medicinal materials all his life, and he has a lot of experience, this time I invited him to come with me to teach everyone how to grow medicine. "

The tenant farmers hurriedly saluted old man Xu.

The delivery man walked over with a fan, "Boss Zhu, I saw you. The goods are all here. You can order them yourself. There are a total of [-] medicinal seedlings and [-] catties of seeds."

Zhuifeng looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction. The medicine seedlings and seeds were well protected, and they didn't appear to be dried out, so they made a deal with the delivery man.

It was still early at that time, and the medicine seeds could not be delayed, so Zhufeng suggested that everyone go to the field immediately.The tenant farmers couldn't wait for a long time, and naturally they all applauded.

Someone went to Li Zhengtian Debao's house to borrow a cart, and a group of people pushed the cart to transport the medicine seeds to the field.

There are 32 fields, 43 tenants, and [-] laborers.Because the ground is not next to each other, it is not very convenient to move around, but Chasing Wind also tries to take care of it as much as possible.
"Uncle Xu and I will divide into two groups. One group of you will follow me, and the other group will follow him." Then he said to Uncle Xu: "I have to go down to the field to show them how to plant it. No one has ever planted it before. What is the name of the medicinal material?" I can't even tell the names."

The old man Xu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely teach these people by hand."

Zhuifeng smiled and said "hard work", and said to the tenant farmers: "I will distribute the medicine seeds to you now. I have told each family and each land what kind of medicine to plant, and now you come to report to them one by one. I."

The tenant farmers immediately lined up, and Lao Huang stood first, saying, "I plant Shegan in Changsha, Angelica in Huang's land, and Cangzhu in Daduanpo."

Zhuifeng put the medicine seeds into Lao Huang's back basket one by one, and said: "Be careful when carrying it, don't shake, don't drop, don't shake."

Lao Huang said hello, and carefully stood aside with the medicinal materials on his back, and the next person followed: "I grow red sage root in the gold field, and rhubarb in the sorghum field."

Because this is a demonstration planting, there are not many medicines, and each person only has five plants of each medicine, so the medicines will be distributed soon, and then everyone will be distributed according to the land, half of them will follow the old man Xu, and half will follow the wind.

On the field ridge, Zhuifeng led a group of people to walk for two or three miles, and finally came to the first field. The tenants of the field stood up and followed him, while others stood around and listened.

Zhuifeng took out the medicinal seeds and confirmed that the amount of fertilizer in the field was okay, before saying to the tenant farmer: "Salvia miltiorrhiza is a plant with deep roots, and the roots can penetrate more than ten inches into the soil.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the growth and development of roots, it is advisable to choose fertile, loose and deep, slightly higher terrain and well-drained land for planting.For mountain cultivation, you should choose a sunny low hillside, and your land is just right for it.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a root medicinal material with a long growth period, so when preparing the ground before, I asked you to apply the base fertilizer on the ground first, mash the decomposed manure and spread it evenly on the ground, and pour it into the soil to use it as the base fertilizer, which will be more beneficial root growth. "

The sharecropper nodded: "Yes, that's what I did."

"Yes. Then there are at least four methods of planting salvia miltiorrhiza, including seeds, divisions, root segments, and cuttings. Among them, root segments are the most productive, but it is already midsummer, so I can only choose Cuttings. But this also has an advantage, that is, it can be harvested within a year at the earliest."

Zhuifeng pointed out the stems of salvia miltiorrhiza to the tenant farmers, "The best time to plant cuttings is from Mengxia to midsummer. The stems should be thick and thick, and cut into two to three sections, just like this."

The sharecropper nodded.Chasing the wind continued: "Cut off part of the leaves, and insert the cuttings into the furrows, preferably two to three inches into the soil, so that the buds are slightly exposed from the soil.

After the cuttings are done, compact the soil, and then water immediately to keep the border moist. Demonstrating while talking. After finishing, he said to the tenant farmers who were studying beside him: "You have a try." "

The tenant farmer said "Okay", took out a few stems from the back basket, and planted one every seven or eight inches. Because he was used to planting crops, his hands were quick. The rhizomes are all planted.

Zhufeng nodded his head: "Yes, that's it. All the medicinal materials will come back in a few days, and you will plant them like this."

The other tenant farmers onlookers couldn't stop nodding, and some couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I didn't expect this kind of medicinal materials to be so particular."

"That's right, just the digging made me tired. I turned the land four times and fertilized it twice. I just finished turning it yesterday. Fortunately, I kept up with it."

"Then you move slowly."

"Don't I have a few acres of other land, and those lands can't be left to dry. My mother-in-law is busy planting soybeans these days, and I'm the only one."

The crowd discussed in low voices, Zhufeng stood up and said, "Let's go to the next piece of land."

It was getting dark, but there were still many people in the fields of Pingpo Village.A barefoot child ran to the ridge of the field and shouted at a group of people: "Daddy, it's time to eat."

Someone in the crowd responded, but the crowd didn't move, they all gathered together.

The child waited for a while, then shouted again: "Hurry up, we are waiting for you. We will have dinner at Grandpa Tian's house tonight."

The crowd stood still for a while, and then the person in the middle stood up first, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is the last piece of land. Is there anyone who hasn't planted it yet?"

Everyone shook their heads, and someone said: "Boss Zhu, don't go back tonight, it's getting so dark."

"No, I'm sleeping at Lizheng's house for the past few days. Before the medicine seeds come back, I'll tell you about the medicinal materials."

"Father, hurry up." The child on the edge of the field shouted again.

Someone urged: "Let's go, let's invite the boss first, let's go back to eat."

Then a group of people walked towards Tian Debao's house in the dark.

In the courtyard of Tian Debao's house, six generous tables had been set up at that time, and several women brought food to the table from the kitchen one after another, and several people set chopsticks, bowls and wine glasses.

It was a rare time for the children to get together so happily. They chased each other and played around the table. Someone ran too fast and bumped his foot on the bench leg, crying in pain.

The woman scolded angrily, "Slow down, brat", but her hands kept moving.

Outside the courtyard gate, the noisy voices gradually approached, and some children shouted "Daddy is back".Tian Debao greeted him out, saw Zhuifeng and old man Xu in the crowd, smiled and cupped his hands, "Hurry up and eat, today, the whole village is eating at my house."

A group of people laughed, washed their hands and faces, and invited each other to sit down.The sound of laughter from the whole yard can be heard far away.

(See you guys tomorrow~)
