Chapter 94 A big summer planting
After Lin Fuyue finished harvesting the beans, she arranged for everyone to plant corn. This time, there was more corn.
She is busy with summer planting, and the most popular thing is corn. Since there is no condition to grow rice, she can only grow more corn.
Although white flour is the most delicious, wheat can only be grown one season a year, and they didn't plant a lot of wheat in the first year.
Among all coarse grains, Lin Fuyue only thinks corn is slightly more delicious, and corn can be grown twice a year.
Last season, it was because there were limited seeds, and because there were so many beans and other crops to be planted, it was impossible to clear the land.
The land harvested this time can be used to grow corn, and the bean stalks and corn stalks will be burned into ashes to be used as fertilizer.
Urea and compound fertilizers are easy to use, but Lin Fuyue doesn't know how to make them. They are made from chemicals.
She could only use soil fertilizer. Fortunately, they raised a lot of pigs. After several months, they had enough pig manure.
There are also chicken manure mixed with firewood ash. The nutrients of this kind of fertilizer are no worse than compound fertilizer.
Corn is generally sown in spring and autumn, and the planting time of autumn corn should not be later than July.
It's late June now, so everyone is rushing to plant corn.
The teenagers had eaten all kinds of corn delicacies made by Lin Fuyue, and they were very energetic.
First, according to Lin Fuyue's instructions, trenches should be dug at a spacing of 60 centimeters between rows and 18 centimeters between plants.
Then spread the seeds evenly to a depth of five centimeters. After planting the corn, water it in time according to the soil moisture.
Keep the soil moist. At this time, the temperature is high and the precipitation is high, which is conducive to seed germination.
"When we sow corn in the second season, the land is rich in organic matter and the soil layer is deeper, so the yield will be higher than in the first season."
"Really? Sister Lin, I think the corn we planted for the first time is already very good."
"Idiot, what Sister Lin means is that the yield of the corn we plant the second time will be higher."
"Well, after the corn seedlings have grown, transplant them and plant them. When planting, the distance between plants should be about 55 centimeters, and the distance between rows should be about 30 centimeters."
"I understand, Sister Lin, we applied a lot of fertilizer this time. We think the yield of autumn corn will not be lower than that of spring."
"You're stupid. The yield of corn we grow will only get higher and higher. It's not as low as you said."
Lin Fuyue listened to the chatter of the teenagers. She didn't ask her any questions, and she didn't say much, just listened quietly.
"Sister Lin, after we finish harvesting this season, it will be almost winter. Sister Lin, what do we eat in winter?"
"In winter, we eat tortillas and corn buns every day. Besides, our wheat will be harvested next month."
"Yes, then we will have white flour dumplings to eat."
"Ah...yes, we need white flour steamed buns, meat buns, and white flour noodles..."
The laughter and noise of the teenagers could be heard in the fields. As they talked, they dug holes or lit corn seeds with their hands.
A young man was slashing the weeds around the ground with a sickle. When he saw this, he couldn't help but stop.
Looking at the busy figures in front of him, he suddenly felt very comforted.
Although the teenagers were wearing tattered clothes and their faces were dirty, they had bright smiles.
There was a strong sense of confidence and vitality in them, which he had never seen before.
A few months ago, they were still desperate people, but now they are living so energetically.
"This is great. There's nothing wrong with continuing like this forever." The young man murmured to himself and continued working.
His life experience is not simple either. Hey! Sister Lin has already said that a good man cannot be a hero even if he was brave in the past.
In the eyes of the young man, this is his future home and his future hope.
"Xiao Liang, did you see our chickens laying eggs today?"
Suddenly a young man ran over, his dark eyes stared at Wang Xiaoliang and said expectantly.
"The chickens have laid eggs, and there are many newly hatched chicks." Wang Xiaoliang said with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat egg custard?" Another boy joked.
"Yes, the egg custard made by Sister Lin also adds lean meat and chopped green onion. I have never eaten it before."
The young man danced happily, then waved the hoe in his hand to dig a small hole, and gave some corn seeds to Wang Xiaoliang behind him.
With hope in life, everyone worked hard. In ten days, they planted nearly two thousand acres of corn.
During the meal that day, Lin Fuyue told everyone, "After planting corn, we will plant some summer cabbage, and we can dry more cabbage."
"Okay, Sister Lin just directs us, and we will do all the work well."
"Hehe, yes, Fang Yibo is absolutely right. Sister Lin can just say whatever she wants."
"We saved a lot of cabbage seeds and radish seeds last season. It would be good to plant some summer radishes every June."
"Well, varieties such as Hongxiu, Xiayuwang and Hanhong in the radish family are suitable for sowing in June in the summer."
Teenagers:......
We don't understand. They all look the same. Well, the names are different. There are also red radish and white radish, which is more obvious.
"The number of plants per acre should be kept at about 5,000. When sowing on demand, the number of seeds per acre should be about 200 grams."
"Okay, okay..." The teenagers didn't know what to say other than saying okay.
They don't understand what two hundred grams is, but the talented young man knows that Sister Lin is talking about weight.
They focused on the food. Today they had pork belly, cabbage and boiled tofu.
The staple food is golden corn cakes, which are full of color and flavor, and the teenagers devour them hungrily.
But they still had to listen to what Sister Lin said, and they knew one thing.
After planting corn, they started to plant radishes, cabbage, and peppers. The peppers are really good and taste super delicious.
"Sister Lin, can we grow peppers for another season? This is a good feeling, hehe."
"Haha, pepper can be put in any dish, especially fried eggs with green pepper, fried meat with green pepper, and stir-fried oil residue are all delicious."
"You greedy cats, why don't you plan to plant anything that doesn't taste good?" Lin Fuyue deliberately teased them.
"What's the matter? I just thought that radish and cabbage are not as delicious as chili."
"Chili is an ingredient. If we don't have the main ingredient, you bastards, I'll feed you chili every day."
Uncle Li was unhappy.
"Uncle Li, don't be angry. When you are angry, it will affect your mood. If you are in a bad mood, it will affect the taste of the food..."
A young man said a lot of things, making everyone laugh.
"You're such a mouthful, hurry up and finish your meal and plant some chili peppers." Lin Fuyue smiled.
"As you command, Sister Lin, I'm full and I'm going to dig the ground first." Dong Yula said with a sense of presence.
