The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 248 Planting medicine is more cost-effective than planting rice

"Wheat can be grown here in water and dry land, but the time of planting cannot be wrong."

"You don't know. According to different regions, this wheat is also divided into spring wheat and winter wheat. Some places are suitable for planting spring wheat. There are more varieties in April and more mature in September. Winter wheat is what I just mentioned. But we can grow rice here. Planting spring wheat again will delay planting rice, so planting winter wheat is the most suitable."

"After the rice is harvested, the land will be plowed, and then the wheat will be planted. There will be two crops a year, without any delay."

Shen Lanfeng has lived here for many years, and now he is a pure farmer. He is quite interested in this, so he asked, "Don't you need to raise land? Planting two seasons a year is too expensive."

"Just bring more manure, those are good things."

"There is too little manure, and there is only so much for every household."

"You can also make manure yourself. Isn't there rotten leaves everywhere in the mountains and rivers? You can take it back and put it in the cesspit for retting. Now you can use it after a few months of retting. If it's not good, you can go to the town to buy it. There are many people who don’t farm the land, and it’s useless for them to ask for that stuff, so they’re definitely willing to sell it.”

Shen Lanfeng pinched her chin when she heard the words, thinking slightly.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Shen Mumian didn't hear his voice, and when he turned his head, he saw him standing there frowning, wondering what he was thinking.

"It's nothing." Shen Lanfeng came back to her senses, and said with a smile, "You know a little too much!"

"That is, did you hear what I told you just now? Our family's dry land and the few acres of land we bought last time are all planted with wheat."

Shen Mumian thought that what she had exposed in front of Shen Lanfeng was too much to hide, so she might as well let herself go, since Shen Lanfeng would not do anything against her anyway.

"I heard that, I will come to plow the field after all the things in the field are harvested in a few days."

Both of them are quick-witted people, and by the end of the day, they cut down the stalks of the impatient, and the black beans and sweet potatoes will not be harvested until next month.

The impatient picked it a few times, and dried the previous ones. After the last drying, Shen Lanfeng got them to the drugstore and sold them.

The pharmacy naturally collects this stuff, but they used to collect three or two catties of this kind, and it was the first time I saw someone sell more than 100 catties for sale.

Most of the medicinal materials are more expensive than food, such as this quick-tempered person sold for 20 yuan a catty, which is as expensive as meat, and sold for nearly 3000 yuan per mu of land.

Although Huining Town is rich in rice, the yield of rice per mu is only more than 500 catties, and the unhulled rice is only [-] cents per catty. After paying taxes, there will be even less leftovers, but the cultivation of medicinal materials has not listened. It is said that there is a tax to be paid, and it is more cost-effective to grow medicine than to grow rice.

After Shen Kapok took the money, he immediately decided to plant seeds next year. Although the output is low, the price is high and he doesn't have to pay taxes.

"Just now I came back to Hongbo and said that next year he will plant some."

"Oh." Shen Kamian didn't think much about it, anyway, no one would affect her. "Did you tell him about growing wheat?"

"said."

"Is he going to grow it?"

"He doesn't believe it." He and his wife had discussed it a long time ago, and they are willing to share things like this that can improve people's lives with the villagers. One crop of rice and one crop of wheat can obviously produce a lot of more food. The standard of living will also be greatly improved, and when every family has money, the neighborhood will be harmonious.

But if you tell people, if they don’t believe you, then there is nothing you can do.

"Then don't care about him. When we plant it, he will naturally come to the door."
