60s: I have a store

Chapter 410: Scattering
Under the "careful" care of the old branch secretary, the chicken manure was finally fermented.

Hurry to find Zhou Yimin.

He pulled Zhou Yimin out of his deep sleep and said, "Yimin, go and have a look. Is the chicken manure fermented?"

The old branch secretary was not sure whether the fermentation was successful or not, but he heard from Zhou Yimin what the characteristics would be after successful fermentation.

When I went to see it just now, I did find the characteristics that Zhou Yimin described, so I couldn't wait to come and find Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin felt a little helpless because he couldn't wait until he woke up to come over.

But I was woken up and couldn't fall asleep, so I could only go and take a look.

When we arrived at the special fermentation area, the stench that used to be present whenever we got close to it has now gotten much better.

Zhou Yimin squatted down and took a closer look. First, he looked at the appearance. The surface of the chicken manure became loose and there was a lot of white powder, which was a sign of complete fermentation.

Moreover, there are white mycelium on the surface of chicken manure, which is also a sign of successful fermentation.

Zhou Yimin said at this time: "Old Party Secretary, you can try it next time. If the chicken manure does not fall apart and feels dry when you hold it in your hand, it means that the chicken manure has been fully fermented."

"If you are willing, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the chicken manure pile. If it is maintained between 60 and 70 degrees, it means that the chicken manure is fermenting; if it exceeds 70 degrees, it means that the chicken manure is too dry."

The old branch secretary nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I will judge it better next time."

Moreover, using fermented chicken manure has many benefits, such as producing a variety of enzymes and inhibiting a variety of soil-borne diseases, such as continuous cropping disease and root-knot nematode disease.

It also contains highly efficient beneficial microbial flora, which can activate nitrogen in the air, decompose and release insoluble phosphorus and potassium nutrients, and replenish soil organic matter.

The most important thing is that it can increase soil porosity, promote root growth, and improve the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer.

The old Party Secretary then asked: "Yimin, now that it is fermented, how should it be used?"

It took so long to ferment it, so you must ask clearly about the usage.

Zhou Yimin said: "Let's transport the fermented chicken manure to the fields first!"

"Ok."

The old branch secretary responded and then asked someone to transport a large pile of chicken manure to the fields.

This is not an easy job. Although the taste of fermented chicken manure is not as strong as that of fresh chicken manure, it should not be underestimated.

I called a few strong young men over, thinking that this would speed things up, but it didn't.

If the number was smaller, it would be fine, but with so many of them like a small mountain, even if the smell wasn't as strong as at the beginning, it would still be smelly.

After a few shovels, walk away and breathe some fresh air.

After seeing this, the old branch secretary immediately got angry and said, "Why am I fine while you guys are watching me?"

After saying that, he demonstrated it directly. After scooping a few times, the taste was a bit unbearable, but the harsh words just now had been said.

Giving up now would damage the authority of the branch secretary, so I had no choice but to go ahead.

Just like that, after shoveling for a few minutes, I couldn't bear it anymore and ran away.

Then he started retching there.

The old branch secretary was a little puzzled as to why this happened. When he was flipping through it before, even if he stayed there for half an hour, there was no problem at all.

When Zhou Daming and the others saw this, they wanted to laugh but they didn't dare to, and they didn't even dare to make a sound, for fear that the old branch secretary would hold them accountable later!

Zhou Yimin stepped forward to explain: "Old Party Secretary, this..."

After listening to Zhou Yimin's explanation, the old branch secretary finally reacted.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and shovel!" After hearing this, Zhou Daming and the others had no choice but to continue.

However, the progress was very slow. It took more than an hour to shovel all the chicken manure onto the donkey cart.

Start transporting to the fields.

Zhou Yimin was giving instructions, telling people not to put all the chicken manure in one place, as that would require shoveling later, which would be troublesome.

Just do it in one step and put a small pile in front of each field, which should be enough for one field.

Zhou Daming and his colleagues were extremely miserable. Not only did they have to do hard labor, but they also had to endure this stench. There was nothing they could do but consider themselves unlucky.

After sorting all the chicken manure, he came to Zhou Yimin.

"Uncle Sixteen, what should we do next!"

Zhou Yimin replied: "Wait a minute, watch me and I will demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, he picked up the shovel and plunged it hard into the pile of fertile chicken manure. As the shovel turned over, a unique smell of earth and fermentation spread.

Zhou Daming and his men couldn't help but take two steps back, and even the old branch secretary took a step back.

The smell was not pleasant, but it made the old branch secretary very happy, because they knew that this was the prelude to a good harvest.

If the effect Zhou Yimin described is really achieved, we will know the result the next time we harvest.

Zhou Yimin asked at this time: "Daming, did you see it clearly?"

Zhou Daming and the others nodded, saying that this was not very difficult.

He picked up the shovel and, imitating Zhou Yimin's behavior, thrust it into the chicken manure and then spread it on the field.

Maybe the strength is not controlled well enough.

Zhou Daming's hand shook, and a small amount of the chicken manure on the shovel fell on his body. He wanted to shake it off, but he shook it too hard, and a full shovel of chicken manure fell all on Zhou Daming.

He couldn't help but start retching and quickly took off his cotton coat because he didn't want it to get dirty.

After shaking off all the chicken manure on my body, I couldn't get rid of the smell.

If Zhou Daming didn't have to work, he would definitely rush home and clean his body thoroughly.

The people present laughed immorally.

After Zhou Daming saw this, he knew that Zhou Yimin and the old branch secretary were not to be trifled with, but the remaining few were not among them. He silently made a note in his heart that he would make sure to get his revenge next time he had the chance.

Zhou Yimin rubbed his belly and said, "This chicken manure is very fertile, but it must be spread evenly, otherwise the rice will grow well in some places and yellow and thin in others."

After saying that, he shoveled up another full shovel of chicken manure, tensed his arm muscles, and used all his strength to throw the chicken manure towards the rice field.

The chicken manure drew an arc in the air and fell down like flowers scattered from heaven.

Zhou Yimin walked step by step along the ridge of the field, precisely controlling the force and direction of each shovel, striving to ensure that every inch of land could be nourished by this natural fertilizer.

The soil under his feet was a little soft, and every step he took left a shallow footprint, as if it was a poem of hard work he wrote on this land.

"Do you see clearly?"

Zhou Daming and the others nodded again. They couldn't show off this time, so they had to behave properly and follow Zhou Yimin's method.

In this way, chicken manure was flying everywhere in the field. Fortunately, there was wind now, so the smell would not stay here all the time.

Otherwise it will really be pickled.
