Of course, these people work hard, so they get a lot of rewards. Their wages are twice as much as other people's, they have an extra set of clothes and two pairs of shoes, and their meals are better than others'.
Of course, if they were lazy to hide the truth, the consequences would definitely not be what they were willing to bear.
Among them, some seedlings were supplemented, some were lost during the transplanting process, and some seeds were lost at the beginning of breeding. As a result, there were not enough cotton seedlings to plant, and there was still a shortage of seedlings on about 50 acres of land.
Even Fangzhou didn't plan to try to grow seedlings any more. The fifty acres were just used to grow sweet potatoes, peanuts and potatoes.
The potato seeds spread by her family have been planted in more than three acres, and the rest are planted with sweet potatoes and peanuts.
Potatoes can be used for cooking, peanuts can be eaten by themselves or sold for oil extraction, sweet potatoes can be harvested in autumn, and sweet potato vines can also be used to feed chickens.
Peanuts and potatoes are directly planted in the ground to plant seeds, but this is not the case for sweet potatoes. The seedlings are raised first, and then the vines are cut off before planting.
Vine plants have a characteristic, that is, the faster they are cut, the faster they are cut, so the vines produced on half an acre of land are enough for transplanting.
A sweet potato can basically grow a dozen branches. When transplanting, cut off one by one, leave one every other leaf, plant every two groups horizontally in the ground, and bury a section of soil at equal intervals to expose a It loops like this on the outside, like a wave.
Lian Fangzhou taught Aunt Zhang this method.
Aunt Zhang believed it outright, but Mrs. Zhao was a little skeptical, but she was a daughter-in-law, and she didn't have much power to speak at home, so Aunt Zhang caught her after only a few words.
So after planting it, Mrs. Zhao went to see it almost twice a day, until she was sure that it had taken root and survived, and then she became happy again, thinking about saving so many sweet potatoes, and was full of relationship.
Then, her sorrow came again, and she asked Lian Fangzhou worriedly in private: "Those sweet potato vines are all alive, but can they bear fruit? Don't they just grow vines without fruit? That would be a waste of land." !"
Even Fangzhou is funny, but thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao doesn't understand, so it's not surprising to have such worries, so she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if there is no fruit by then, how many sweet potatoes will be produced in the field in a year?" I will pay you as much as compensation!"
"Oh, how embarrassing it is!" Mrs. Zhao immediately smiled, then sighed and shook her head, "No, my mother-in-law definitely won't want it..."
Lian Fangzhou felt that the people of the Zhao family were not bad, but they cared too much about their own interests, so it was inevitable that they would be a little cautious. But it's just a matter of careful thinking. If it is said to harm others for the sake of profit, she will never do it. So Lian Fangzhou didn't dislike her.
After hearing this, Lian Fangzhou thought for a while and then smiled: "How about I just pay the money back to my sister-in-law? Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not tell anyone else, or anyone else!"
Zhao's eyes lit up, and his expression obviously relaxed, obviously he was very willing.
Hehe laughed a few times, rubbed his hands and said a few polite words, and then smiled with great determination: "Well, I'm so sorry! Uh, you don't have to pay all the compensation, just pay half of it..."
"Okay, then it's settled!" Lian Fangzhou nodded without hesitation.
Mrs. Zhao felt a little sorry when she saw her laughing like this, and said something like "If you need help, just ask!" before leaving.
The chicks in the orchard have grown to the size of a fist, and they are happily jumping around in the orchard all day long, with pinches of feathers growing on each of them.
The feathers of the young roosters grow more slowly, some of them are wrong, and many hens have already covered their whole body with colorful feathers, which looks very reserved.
Lian Fangzhou did the calculations, and estimated that in about ten days, someone from Xiaowang Village should come and ask to transport the second batch of chicklings.
In the original cotton nursery land, Lian Fangzhou deliberately set aside 20 acres for breeding.
Although the seeds of cotton knots in the cotton field can be planted in the second year, how can such seeds compare with specially bred seeds
No one understands the importance of good seeds better than Lian Fangzhou, who majored in agriculture, so breeding is also very, very important.
Lian Fangzhou planned to take care of the 20 acres of breeding land in person. She, together with Lian Ze and A Jian, would be enough for Qin Feng to ask someone to help with some rough and simple tasks.
The 20 mu of land must be carefully tended to. Fertilization, weeding, pest control, watering, etc. must be kept perfect, so as to ensure that the seeds produced can reach the highest level that can be achieved so far.
After years of screening in this way, excellent varieties will surely be obtained.
This morning, after the family had breakfast, Lian Fangzhou, A Jian, and Lian Ze were discussing about going to the breeding ground, but Zhang Liang came to the door, smiled shyly and called someone to say hello. The face is hesitant and tangled.
Lian Fangzhou had a good impression of Zhang's family. Seeing Zhang Liang like this, he hurriedly asked what was going on with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it, there is nothing to worry about!"
Zhang Liang is very honest and well-behaved. Although he has caught grasshoppers or caught small fish and shrimps every day to feed Lian Fangqing's big-headed pheasant, he has never caught grasshoppers or small fish and small shrimps in silence. The shrimp was brought over, and he left in a hurry without even saying a word to Lian Fangqing.
So in Lian Fangzhou's impression, this is really a very honest and honest child.
I don't know what it is that can make honest children entangled like this.
Zhang Liang heard that Wen Qie raised his head and looked at Lian Fangzhou, bit his lips, knelt down suddenly, kowtowed and said: "Miss, I want to practice martial arts with the second master, please help me!"
"What!" Lian Fangzhou froze with his eyes wide open.
A Jian and Lian Ze on the side couldn't help but raise their heads in surprise.
Zhang Liang was embarrassed, his face flushed red, and his heart was pounding with nervousness. He lowered his head and didn't dare to lift it up, but he still begged, "Girl, I'm not afraid of hardships, please help me!"
His voice visibly trembled from excitement.
"Get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say!" Only then did Lian Fangzhou come to his senses, and hurriedly signaled Lian Ze to pull him up.
Knowing Lian Fangzhou's habit, Zhang Liang kowtowed again and stood up obediently. Gathering up the courage to look up, a pair of dark eyes looked at Lian Fangzhou nervously and pleadingly.
Lian Fangzhou glanced at A Jian unconsciously, and A Jian gave her an innocent look: It's really none of his business!
Sighing lightly, Lian Fangzhou smiled softly: "Okay, why did you suddenly come up with this idea? Your parents, do you know?"
Zhang Liang replied honestly: "I don't know, I just want to learn so that I can work for the girl in the future. My parents will not disagree."
This means that his parents didn't even know about it.
There is only 4 updates in the morning today, and there is no more in the evening, and it will be added next Monday
