On the Daling side, there is a large canal passing through, which crosses the 100 mu of land of Mr. Bai's family. His family's winter wheat this year is planted in the fields on both sides of the canal, totaling about 20 mu.
The rest of the land is full of weeds, and no one in this area grows winter wheat anymore. Because this piece of good land is in the hands of Master Bai.
So this big canal was built by Master Bai with a lot of money, and then the village contributed, because the big canal was dug all the way from the river, and the places it passed benefited.
Man Bao is very satisfied looking at this big canal now.
With this large canal, everything is much more convenient.
It is impossible for the three children to cover 120 acres of land and a mountain in such a short time. They just stood on the stone chosen by Zhou Lang to look at it.
Then Zhou Zhoulang drew a big circle perfunctorily, and pointed: "Here, this area belongs to you."
The three children said "wow". They did not miss the fields. There were fields before leaving the village, and there were more fields outside the entrance of the village. When they looked up, they were all crop fields.
But it's not their land, and I don't feel much after seeing it, but now this land is theirs.
The eyes of the three children are all shining.
Man Bao waved his hand and said, "This area is planted with beans, this area is planted with wheat, and that area is planted with rice..."
Thursday Lang: ...
Bai Shanbao expressed doubts, "Didn't you say that you need to plan, the land that was planted with wheat last year should be planted with beans, and the land that was planted with beans last year can be replanted with wheat."
"Uh, I forgot, it's okay, we still have time, we will plan slowly when we go back."
Bai Erlang couldn't talk about this kind of topic, his main job was to run errands.
For example, he had to run to ask the long-term workers at home which piece of their 100-acre land was planted with wheat this year, and which piece was planted with beans.
Then, Bai Erlang, who had never been acquainted with the long-term worker at home, was now walking on the field, and could call out a person when he saw him.
Then he hadn't played with his friends for a long time. In the cold weather, he occasionally followed Man Bao and the others to Daling to see the weedy field.
He really didn't know what to see there, but Bai Shan and Zhou Man just enjoyed watching it, and Zhou Man would occasionally dig some soil to take home.
What's the use of taking it home
Anyway, the land is so thin. Could it be possible to bring it home and bring it back to make it thicker
That's right, the soil that Man Bao brought back really has this effect. The piles of soil she dug back were taken back to Dr. D for analysis.
Although the agricultural writing is very easy to understand, Manbao still has many problems, and it is inevitable to ask Dr. D for advice.
Of course, this kind of question is left to the graduate students by Dr. D, so recently, the graduate students use Dr. D's account to contact Man Bao.
Dr. D's research seems to be a bit unsatisfactory. The target objects that Man Bao exchanged for her are almost used up, including the Poria soil that was replaced with wheat seeds later.
If she asked Man Bao for Poria, Man Bao would not be able to get it out, but there was still a lot of Poria soil.
Man Bao was very stingy when making deals. Although the Poria soil could not be sold for the time being, it was only a small handful when it was exchanged to Dr. D last time.
You must know that she collected a lot of soil in the space when Zhou Zhoulang was digging Poria cocos, some of which still had a little mycelium.
Recently, Dr. D and her graduate students have been very dedicated to helping Manbao answer questions about agriculture. Knowing that she is going to start a small farm, the graduate students also thoughtfully made some planning suggestions for her.
So Man Bao gave them a small handful of soil.
The sharp-eyed graduate student found a trace of mycelium in the small handful of soil, and was overjoyed.
Dr. D is also very happy. Now she has a little grasp of the temper of the Mr. Zhou opposite, knowing that he will not take hard things, so she also generously expressed that she can help him in other aspects.
For example, analyze the soil composition and give fertilization suggestions.
Dr. D has already guessed from the existing data that the world Manbao and the others live in is a very primitive world, where there is no need to think about the nutrient solution of the land and seeds, even the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that were prevalent in ancient times are not available.
Dr. D guessed that they only had farmyard manure, that is, flower manure in the traditional sense in ancient times.
Generally, this kind of farmyard manure supplements the ground fertilizer in an all-round way, but even if it is all-round, there will be a focus. For example, if there are more rotten debris, the nitrogen content will be more...
Of course Man Bao doesn't understand, not only Man Bao doesn't understand, even the old Zhou Tou who has been farming for many years doesn't understand the difference.
He knew that the land was not fertile enough, so he would apply more fertilizer. If there was no fertilizer, he would plant beans and raise them for a few more years.
But this method is laborious and time-consuming. Now that there is a better way, Man Bao of course accepts Dr. D's opinion.
So every time she went to inspect the field, she would dig out what she thought was different soil and bring it back to Dr. D's graduate student for testing.
After the test, he will not only give the ingredient list, but also give her the corresponding proportion of retting fertilizer.
This is not a big deal in the eyes of biology graduate students, and he doesn't need to study it, it's all there in the materials.
Some retting materials can be found in Manbao, and some can't, but it's not difficult. As long as Manbao gives the other party some Poria soil, the graduate student will adjust the formula with some materials given by Manbao.
The two sides helped each other and cooperated happily.
Man Bao didn't bother to spend time copying them, so he asked Ke Ke to print out these formulas, and gave them to Bai Shan Bao the next day, and the two planned to start composting.
And the ground will be overturned.
It's cold winter now, digging the ground can turn out the eggs of insects sleeping in the ground, maybe it can freeze the other party to death.
Then the weeds will also be turned under the soil, which may corrupt the soil.
So Bai Shanbao turned the agricultural book to the page of agricultural tools, and said, "Shall we make this thing?"
Man Bao said: "We don't know how to do it. I showed it to my elder brother. He said that it is similar to the plow at home, but there are some differences. For example, the plow at home is straight, but this one is curved."
"The carpenter can definitely do it. We can draw a picture and show it to the carpenter in the county. If it can be done, then let my grandmother invite someone back to do it." Anyway, his grandmother paid for it.
Man Bao said there was no problem, so he took out a large piece of paper, took a pen and ink and handed it to Bai Shanbao.
Bai Shanbao looked up at her.
Man Bao stretched out his chin, motioning for him to take it quickly and start.
Bai Shanbao didn't answer, and said, "I don't know how to draw."
Man Bao was dumbfounded, she blinked and asked, "Then I will?"
"Whether you will or not, you don't know."
Man Bao bit the tip of his brush and carefully looked at the plow implements on the book, and began to draw ladles according to gourds. After a long time, Bai Shanbao said with distaste: "The drawing is wrong, how can it be so crooked here? They are all separated here, but they are obviously connected together.”
Man Bao put down his pen and said, "You draw."
"I don't want it." Hmph, he's not stupid, he still draws when he knows he can't draw well.
