Take a fool to farm

Chapter 298
"Madam, today's millet is not drenched in rain!" After harvesting the millet, Zha Jian looked at the pouring rain and said to Jiao Niang with emotion: "I never knew that autumn harvest is so difficult!" Farmers are really not easy.

"Yeah, it's hard work to return the grains to the warehouse. Even if they are taken back, it depends on whether God will take care of them!" Jiao Niang is well informed, knowing that because Cha Jian didn't send anyone to cut Hezhuang and lock the fields, all the people are at home to dry the grains. , so it wasn't raining.But Luozhuangtou was not so lucky. The strong men and laborers had all gone to work, and the rest of the family were old, young, women and children. When the rain came, there was no time to pick them up and bring them back to the house. Most of them were drenched in the rain.Of course, Luo Zhuangtou cannot be blamed for this.

What was even more unexpected was that this shower turned into cloudy rain without end, and it rained continuously for three consecutive days, even Jiao Niang lamented that she was out of luck.The rain-drenched millet at Luozhuangtou is piled up together and the temperature rises, and the inside begins to ferment. Anyone who gets close can smell the strong smell of wine.Some of them started to germinate at this time when they were not dried in the sun.

"Ma'am, the villain's dereliction of duty this time has caused too much loss!" The moldy and sprouting millet must not be stored in storage. Luo Zhuangtou means to use it to offset the monthly money of people like himself, and distribute it to the farmers to dry themselves After grinding rice to eat.Hearing that the millet from Zha Jian's side was fine, all Luo Zhuangtou's suffering could only be swallowed in his own stomach. He originally wanted to save himself by not steaming the steamed buns, but it turned out to be counterproductive.

"Farming the land depends on the sky for food!" Although Jiaoniang felt distressed that the grain she got could not be eaten, she couldn't bear to give the moldy and sprouted millet to the farmers.In her eyes, human life is equally important: "First dry that part of the millet and store it separately. If it doesn't work, then feed it to the pigs!"

"Ma'am, those Hezhuang farms that have been fertilized have begun to sprout new shoots. Is this what you call regenerated rice?" At the same time that the head of Luozhuang reported his worries, Cha Jian ran back in a hurry: "Sprouts are growing. Soon, a long section will appear in just a few days!" Especially after this rain, the new shoots grew green, which made Cha Jian, who had never planted crops, feel a little bit of excitement in an instant, as if watching Watching their children grow up vigorously.

"Yes, this is ratooning rice. If it is properly managed, it will be harvested for another season. You should observe and record it well, and we will promote it on a large scale in our village next year!" I have read and heard about it in books, but the real planting is the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair: "If it is managed well, it will be the harvest of a small spring!"

Speaking of planting Xiaochun, Jiaoniang thought of planting gourd beans, but she didn't know if there were any seeds here.

"Yes, there has always been!" Luo Zhuangtou has never heard of words such as ratooning rice. What is the rarity that the Hezhuang will sprout new shoots after harvesting? Is it hard to check? Jian they can change a trick?But he also learned to be smart and didn't ask any more questions.When asked about gourd beans, he said: "Every year, the government collects gourd beans. I heard that gourd beans are used as food for horses in the army!"

"That's a lot of variety!" Jiaoniang knows that people don't get rich without windfall, and horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, but they don't think that horse rations are gourd beans, and they think they are soybeans.Since there is a purchase, there is a market. Jiaoniang immediately decided: "Plant less wheat and grow gourd beans, investigate and build, open up the gaps in those fields with little water, and grow gourd beans in the fields in the future!"

Luo Zhuangtou secretly rejoiced that he didn't arrange for him to open the gap. You must know that he and more than a dozen strong men have worked so hard to lock the edge of the field for so long, and finally stored water, but at this time he was allowed to open it and dry it into a gourd. Dou, aren't those previous jobs for nothing?Besides, the hostess only saw the benefits in front of her eyes, and she didn't want to think about how to plant seedlings in the fields without water in the spring next year?If you don't order yourself to do it, then you don't have to do it if you don't have ears!
