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

Chapter 144 Successful Seedling Breeding
Bai Taotao: "Plant another season of rice."

Everyone! ! !

"Plant another season of rice?"

Zhao Ding: "Then you plant two crops of rice this year? Harvest rice twice? If the rice yield per acre is 300 jins, then yours is 600 jins. Selling the raw grain will cost you almost one tael of silver. Hiss~~~”

After calculating, Zhao Ding took a breath of cold air.

Chen Ge said: "You still have to pay taxes."

Zhao Ding: "That's enough to earn several hundred more coins."

Chen Zhou: "It's just like this, doesn't it mean we can't grow winter wheat? It seems that after all the calculations, I still think it's not much different?"

Bai Taotao nodded: "Yes, you can't grow winter wheat. But you can also grow other things. I calculated the time before. If I harvest rice around mid-July, I will start growing late rice seedlings in mid-to-early June. . In this way, you can transplant directly after the first season of rice is harvested, and there will be no time wasted in the middle. Then the second season of rice can be harvested in late October or early November. Then you can plow the ground and plant winter radishes.”

The time from planting to harvesting radish is short, so it’s totally within reach.

Anyway, just take the radishes home before transplanting the seedlings in mid-March, and then plow the ground and put in water.

I remember that in this world, long ago, I saw my grandmothers farming with such a time difference.

For example, when Zajia rice did not appear in the first place, the rice yield was also very low, but the fertilizer was relatively better than in ancient times.

The older generation will think of ways to maximize the use of the fields.

Including sweet potatoes and potatoes that appeared later, they were all grown slowly by the experience of the older generation.

In fact, farming also requires learning and specialization. The prerequisite for specialization is knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the better you can grow better food. Just like Grandpa Yuan in this world, he has specialized in hybrid rice all his life. Without knowledge, hybrid rice will not be able to grow. It doesn’t mean that it can be studied through research.

Now, if she hadn't relied on the hybrid rice bought at the mall, she would have been able to grow ordinary early and late rice.

After listening to Baitaotao's words, the villagers also felt that Baitaotao's arrangement was very good. In this way, not only could they grow two seasons of rice, but they could also plant another season of radishes.

It’s much better than their current crop of rice and wheat.

Zhao Dingshi: "We should be too late this year. Now the wheat can't be harvested until the end of March, and the land can't be plowed until April. By the time we finish plowing the land, Youyi's wife will be harvesting this first season."

Bai Taotao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am also experimenting this year. When my experiment succeeds, it will not be too late for you to follow suit next year. If it fails, the villagers will not follow and confiscate the gains. Besides, my plan Although it sounds good, I am not sure whether it can be done. After all, I have never tried this.”

"Daughter-in-law Youyi, we believe you can do it."

"Yes, you definitely can."

"Look at what you do and you will succeed. You will definitely succeed this time. We are waiting for your good news."

Seeing that the fellow villagers believed in themselves so much, Bai Taotao knew that she had real-life experience and told herself that the problem was not big, but it was better to be conservative and low-key about some things.

So he said: "Thank you folks for thinking so highly of me, but there is something I want to ask you to keep this secret for me first. If this thing succeeds, it will be a good thing. If it doesn't succeed, it won't be made into a joke. Our own It’s enough to know things behind closed doors.”

Chen Geshi: "Hey, you stupid kid, if you don't tell us about this, we also know that we can't tell anyone else. If this matter is successful, submit it to the higher authorities, and it might be possible to achieve meritorious service. Now we are stupidly publicizing it everywhere, in any case." If it is stolen by someone with bad intentions, it will be a trap for you. Although we are not smart, we are not stupid either."

"Hahaha~~~"

"Yes, yes, we know this well."

"You can rest assured." Bai Taotao said: "Thank you guys. If you guys want to plant some radishes later on, you can get some seeds from me and plant them back."

Zhao Wangshi: "If we want to grow crops, we can buy them from you. How can we get your money for free? You have done enough for the villagers. Okay, it's late. Let's go home early to make lunch. Let's work in the workshop for a while." After work, the people in the house are still waiting to come back for dinner. "

"After dinner, you can go for a run in the mountains in the afternoon."

"That's not it."

With that said, the villagers lined up and went home along the field ridge.

Bai Taotao waited until the water in the rice field was put away, closed the water inlet, and checked that there was no leakage in the rice field, then she packed up and went home.

At noon, Grandma Tan made fried highland barley with eggs, which was simple and delicious.

Highland barley wine is still steaming on the kitchen stove.

Highland barley wine is made by fermenting highland barley and then using the steam principle to make wine. This way the wine produced is pure and rich in aroma.

This method of brewing wine already exists in the North, but the brewing vessels are relatively simple.

After Bai Taotao bought the books, she asked a carpenter to help her make a set of distillation tools.

In this way, when you want to drink, you can just brew it yourself.

She had asked Granny Tan to brew beer before, but she didn't like drinking beer and only used beer for cooking.

She likes to drink pure wine brewed from grain, which is called Shaodaozi here in the North.

But before she was pregnant, she couldn't drink. Now she is weaning her child, and when the weaning is over, she can have a drink from time to time.

Later, she would make various fruit wines and add some rock sugar. Now, unlike in the real world, she didn't have to go on a mission and could have a drink whenever she had nothing to do. She felt happy just thinking about it.

After lunch, Bai Taotao went to find Chen Lizheng again.

When Chen Lizheng heard that she wanted to buy the wasteland on the other side of the river, he immediately stood up excitedly: "You can't buy that land, you can't buy it. The land is full of sand, and you can't grow food at all. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible. No one buys it.”

When Bai Taotao heard this, she wondered if the sand was what the world calls sandy land.

Of course, before she was sure whether it was true or not, she could only say: "Why can't we grow food? Have any of the folks done it?"

Chen Lizheng shook his head: "The land is full of sand. How can we grow food without soil? How can we even try it?"

Bai Taotao: "But I remember reading in a book that crops can be grown in sandy land. Although rice cannot be grown, peanuts and radishes can still be grown. But I don't know what the village chief uncle said. Is the sand the same as the sand I saw in the book?”

Hearing this, Chen Lizheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let your aunt take you over and have a look first to see what kind of sandy land you are talking about? If this land can be planted, then you can just buy it."

Chen Lizheng was already accustomed to Baitaotao's large-scale land purchase.

Bai Taotao nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, led by Chen Zou, she went to the wasteland on the other side of the river to check it out.

Seeing that underneath the overgrown weeds was the sandy land seen in the real world, Bai Taotao hid her inner excitement, and then walked around briefly to confirm that almost the entire land should be sandy before heading back to the village.
