Chen Shu gave the gift to the person and left without even taking a break. Only Duan Mingjing sent the person to the entrance of the village, still reluctant to say goodbye.

A group of people came over with two large carts of gifts, put down the gifts and left, making the villagers watch a lot of excitement.

Some people once discussed privately that the life of this family was not as good as it used to be, and that they had to go back to their hometown to live since there was no official in the family.

Now it seems that no matter how poor a person is, they are not comparable to ordinary people like them.

For ordinary people, it would be a big gift for ordinary people to bring a chicken to their door. The gifts of these two cars are more generous than the gifts for their married daughters.

After watching the fun, everyone left in envy.

They were not familiar with the Duan family, so it was hard for them to go up and ask who sent the gift, let alone what the gift was.

Qiao Lan was taking the gift list and counting the items. As Chen Shu said, a lot of the agricultural products that were delivered were agricultural products produced in Zhuangzi. In addition to some fine grains, there were also about twenty pieces of skins, some cured fish and bacon, and two boxes.

fruit.

A box of pears and a box of grapefruits.

There are fruits that Qiao Lan didn’t expect!

After coming to Beijing, she had eaten wild fruits only a few times on the road. Nothing else. It was not the right time now. If the fruits that were grown in autumn were hanging on the branches and no one picked them, they would have fallen to the ground.

The ground turned into mud.

There are not even many vegetables to be found in winter, and grapefruits and pears are rare items.

The grapefruit can be stored for a few days, but the pears will become stale after being stored for a long time, so Qiao Lan gave one of the pears to each member of the family.

The children had not eaten fresh fruit for a long time, and they were all very happy. The smiles on their faces were even happier than when they were eating at the banquet a few days ago.

Qiao Lan picked up the washed pear and took a bite. The pear was very watery, had a very light sweetness, and was a little sour. It was incomparable to any variety of pears that Qiao Lan had eaten before.

Although they were tasteless, Qiao Lan estimated that the price of a few pears was no cheaper than a chicken. Qiao Lan gnawed the pears in her hands clean, looking forward to the coming of next spring.

In addition to farming, she also wants to plant some fruit trees.

-

Farmers rarely have days off throughout the year.

It's only the fifth day of the first lunar month, and every household has picked up a hoe and brought dry food, and headed to the fields and wilderness to start the new year's struggle.

If we want to pick out some differences, we can only say that Duanjiacun is much tidier than in previous years.

The chicken manure, hay, fallen leaves, etc. that used to be seen everywhere on the roadside are all gone. The dirt roads between the houses and the front doors have all been swept clean.

All of this has to start with the Duan family.

Qiao Lan had made up her mind to fertilize the fields. However, there were no cheap and large quantities of chemical fertilizers in this era. Even if the soil fertilizers made at home were of better quality, they might not be enough to water 200 acres of land, so she signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the city's night fragrance delivery company.

.

To this end, the Duan family also built several earthen kilns and thatched houses in the shade not far from the fields to pile farmyard manure.

Two hundred acres of land required a large amount of fertilizer, and the Duan family was overwhelmed, so they invited people from the village to help.

An old man next door to the Duan family broke his leg when he was young. He walked with a limp and his work was much slower than others. Especially when he became too old and could no longer work, he was often beaten by the old woman and son in his hometown.

dislike.

Now I have been hired by the Duan family to help make fertilizer. I only have to mix night incense and mud sent from the county every two days. My monthly salary is as high as two hundred yuan, which is more than a man who goes to work in the city.

There are so many of them, making everyone around you envious.

Although this work is dirty and smelly, to ordinary people, what does it mean to be dirty and smelly? Even if they lose a piece of meat, they are willing to do so.

Because of this incident, the villagers noticed that the Duan family was composting a lot of compost, and they were curious, why did the Duan family compost so much?

Even two hundred acres of land doesn’t require so much land!

Ordinary people mostly know that human and animal manure can fertilize the land. This is something passed down from generation to generation. They don't know which generation it starts from.

As for the type of fertilizer and the key to fertilization, they were even less clear about it. They worked very hard every day hoeing and weeding. They could only rely on the good weather to make ends meet. If life got a little rough, every household would have to tighten their belts and not have enough to eat.

Qiao Lan was not a stingy person. She directly told the villagers about the importance of fertilizing and all the things that can be used to make fertilizers. If fertilizers are applied well, the grain production in the fields will increase.

These days, there are no plastic or metal products. Garbage, chicken and animal manure, bones, young grass leaves, etc. can be made into fertilizer. In short, except for food and stones that can be eaten, everything else will do!

The dead leaves and poultry manure that used to be troublesome to clean every day have now become delicious food, and every household is imitating the Duan family and preparing to dig holes to make fertilizer.

But no matter how hard they try, they can't collect much livestock manure in a short while.

Every time I pass by the Duan family’s thatched cottage on the edge of the field, I smell the soaring smell inside and am so greedy!

As expected of a wealthy family in the village, they even have more fat than ordinary families!

But the most surprising thing is that after the Chinese New Year, the Duan family asked the villagers to dig pea seedlings!

The pea seedlings are not mature yet, and the rice grains in the pods have not grown yet. Why did they just dig them up?

There are no fresh vegetables at the beginning of spring. Many people will pick some fresh pea sprouts for cooking. They dare not pick the growing pods.

After they asked about the job, they found out that the Duan family not only dug peas, but also buried them in the soil as fertilizer!

It’s such a waste to use grain as fertilizer!

Duan Kunshan immediately came to the Duan family to persuade them not to waste the peas on the more than ten acres of land.

Qiao Lan persuaded her back with a smile, saying that the peas were a trivial matter, and burying them in the ground would not delay the planting of crops in the spring, but would actually increase the food production in the ground.

After Duan Kunshan came back from the Duan family, he was still a little in disbelief. Is this true?

The Duan family works in exchange for copper coins. Even if the people in the Duan family village are reluctant to part with the crops, there will always be people from other villages to do the work.

The peas in this field are used as fertilizer after all.

When the pea seedlings were almost rotten and the other fields were carefully watered and fertilized, Qiao Lan finally received the settlement from the system!

[Congratulations to the host for completing the first lesson on strengthening the country! Please check the task rewards after filling out the questionnaire and you can start the second phase of the lesson on strengthening the country!]

Qiao Lan opened the system and took a look. The main content of the questionnaire was to fill in the various crops he wanted to grow. The system would make scientific calculations and provide relevant guidance and specifications.

Finally something good!

Qiao Lan didn't do much research on what crops to grow. She clicked on the questionnaire and found that it specifically listed various crops that could be grown, as well as reference planting prices.

The first option is the cheapest grain, the exact seed price per acre, and the difficulty of planting.
