Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 142 Double-cropping Rice Experiment

Those orders for dried tofu and molded tofu are now scheduled for half a month.

Although the temporary workshop has just started, it also has accumulated a lot of orders.

Because it takes time to make products, we have to wait until the products are ready for sale before we can deliver the goods. Currently we can only accept orders.

The products of the temporary workshop currently include hand-peeled bamboo shoots, spicy and sour appetizer shredded bamboo shoots, crispy radish, secret pickled vegetables, etc.

Hand-peeled bamboo shoots and spicy and sour appetizer shredded bamboo shoots are the most suitable to eat as appetizer snacks.

Whether it is used to sour the taste buds and appetizers in a wealthy family, used to accompany wine in a restaurant, or used to enjoy tea in a teahouse, it is very suitable.

As for those dried bamboo shoots, ordinary people can make them themselves, so there is no need for her to waste her efforts.

In addition, she also uses the purchased bracken and wild vegetables, as well as the radishes and radish leaves grown on the mountain before, to make her own secret pickles and pickles.

Dried or fresh vegetables are also sold by the people themselves.

These exclusive secret pickles and pickles are perfect whether eaten directly with rice or stir-fried.

Sometimes Baitaotao also likes to add some of this secret pickle when eating noodles, which is especially appetizing and delicious.

It's also delicious when used with egg fried rice.

There are also many types, including bracken, stunner, thorn sprouts, radish roots, radish, radish leaves, etc. You can choose according to your favorite dish.

What her workshop makes are things that ordinary people can't do, so that there is a market.

The Baitaotao Workshop is in full swing, and so are the folks in the village.

They were all busy going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and at the same time selling grain.

For example, there should be nothing to worry about the spring planting issue that we worried about a few years ago. With such a heavy snowfall, there should be no shortage of water during spring planting, and at present, wheat will be ready in more than a month. Harvested.

Naturally, the stored grain in hand can be sold first, not to mention that now the government is coming to buy it. The government goes directly to the village to buy it, and the price is not bad. If you don't sell it, you would be a fool.

This time Bai Taotao's advice from years ago still played a big role.

Whether it's grain or cotton.

The food allowed everyone not to be in a hurry to sell it for the time being, and it helped the higher-ups in disguise, causing the Shang family to fail in purchasing food. Those who wanted to sell food were bought by her through the government, as well as the caravans.

Secondly, the food collected at the end helped the soldiers at the border and helped the higher-ups.

Thirdly, many villagers still kept the grain in their hands, and now it happened that the people were able to sell it at a good price, and at the same time they could help the higher authorities tide over the difficulties.

As for cotton, fortunately, this year the villagers listened to Bai Taotao and bought cotton to make winter quilts. Otherwise, grass batting would not be able to withstand this winter at all, especially the heavy snowfall after the new year.

And because of Bai Taotao's reminder, everyone thought about the winter situation and stored a lot of firewood, so they were able to survive the winter.

Nowadays, Bai Taotao is equivalent to the existence of the patriarch in the hearts of the villagers. Basically, everyone will obey her suggestions. Now, because of the death of the late emperor, the whole country is in silence, and the villagers can't have a party after the house is built, so they can only wait until later.

Next, everyone just needs to make money with peace of mind.

Bai Taotao's big house probably won't be completed that soon. At first she thought it would be completed in more than a month, but now it seems she wants to keep things simple.

Building a house is quick, but there are also gardens, furniture, etc., and there are a lot of things that need to be done later.

After finishing all these series and moving in, it will take at least two months and three months to move in. Now in mid-to-late February, it will be at least the end of April or the beginning of May. Her house will start in early February. It will take almost three months to start construction in early May, so it should be almost done.

It just so happened that the moment of silence was over, so she could have a lively warm-house reception.

It's good for her to live in the workshop during this period, and she doesn't have to worry about anything.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, Bai Taotao can start experimenting with another plan.

A few days ago, she bought some hybrid rice seeds from the mall, and also bought a few books on double-cropping rice planting techniques. In the past few days, she also studied hard while the seeds were still germinating.

Now that the seeds have successfully sprouted, the next step is to start the seedling cultivation period.

Even though it is only mid-to-late February, it is a date according to the old calendar. The Northern Kingdom does not distinguish between the old calendar and the new calendar. It is calculated on the same calendar, and each month has thirty days. There are no leap months or big and small months.

So this time in mid-to-late February is almost mid-March in this world.

Coupled with the temperature difference in the south, double-cropping rice is sown and seedlings start to be raised around this time.

Even if there is a slight difference, it doesn't matter, as long as the temperature is right, it doesn't matter if it's early or late.

However, at this time, there is no film available, so Bai Taotao has to use oilcloth instead. Although oilcloth is a bit expensive, fortunately, oilcloth can be used many times. I used it this time, put it away, and can continue to use it next year. .

The cost won't be very high either.

Previously, the village had given the wasteland under Chen Youyi's name. Baitaotao had already arranged for people to deal with it and put it in water to cultivate for a long time. She planned to divide a piece of land to raise seedlings first.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Bai Taotao and Aunt Jin brought the rice seeds that had been successfully cultivated, bamboo strips that Chen Defu had helped cut, as well as oilcloth and wooden boards. Then she began to prepare to go to the fields to conduct experiments. A small bowl Leave it to Grandma Tan for now.

When arriving at the rice fields, the first step was to ridge the fields. Chen Youyi had three acres of land allocated to her name, and the white peach peach was turned into a paddy field. She also cultivated the seeds according to the three acres of paddy fields, so the ridge fields also needed ridges to be cultivated. Three acres of paddy fields with seedlings.

Fortunately, although the original owner was favored by the whole family, he was still very good at farming.

With the memory of the original owner and the knowledge she gained from reading the information, Bai Taotao is still very easy to farm.

Soon she and Aunt Jin had cultivated three long fields.

The three fields formed by the ridges should be slightly higher than the water level in the field and cannot be submerged by water. However, the water needed for the seeds to take root and grow in the later period must be ensured. The water level cannot exceed the planting site to prevent the planted rice seeds from being exposed to water. It floats, or if it is not firmly rooted, if water is released later, it will fall when the wind blows.

After the ridges are formed, the seeds can be sown. Baitaotao spreads the rice seeds evenly on the ridged fields, and then gently taps them with a wooden board. The purpose of tapping is to gently pat the rice seeds into the mud; Taking root when growing, it is also to prevent excess water on the ridge field from floating the rice seeds.

After doing this, you can insert the two ends of the shaved bamboo slices on both sides of the field ridges to form arch bridges. This is to facilitate covering the oilcloth on top, so that the temperature inside the oilcloth in the ridges and fields will be relatively higher than the temperature outside. Some.
