In ancient Chinese agriculture, there were three treasures: corn, soybeans, and green vegetables.
The main reason is that these three crops have great benefits for the human body. Compared with grains of the same level at the same time, the three of them may not have the best taste, but they are definitely the most buggy in their ability to replenish the body.
Yu Zai never imagined that when she came to Tier Ya's, not only would she be able to get grain seeds, but she would also be able to encounter the vegetables that she had always dreamed of!
This thing, Yu Zai only knows the northwest, southwest, south, north, and east, each with different names. However, it was called rapeseed in ancient times, but it actually has an even older and more beautiful name - "Brassica"!
Green and white like jade, white mountains and green clouds. It can be seen everywhere, with strong vitality, growing all over the world. It is inseparable from ancient mountains and seas, future generations, and thousands of descendants of China.
Just like thousands of ordinary people!
"Okay, let's just focus on this vegetable. I'll help your tribe!"
Yu Zai grabbed Huang Shao's hand and shook it hard twice. Huang Shao was also stunned for a long time. These are just a few brassica leaves. Are you, a Central Plains person, so excited?
Could it be said that people in the Central Plains have never eaten this thing?
Huang Shao's thinking began to diverge, while Bai Li Mao and Bai Li Hao stared blankly, somewhat confused.
We just traded ten stones of seeds and established a joint relationship of mutual help, but you turned around and ran to the opposite camp. Isn't it a bit unethical?
However, thinking of some of the techniques Yuan Zai was going to talk about, Baili Mao didn't say anything. The tall and irritable old man Baili Hao next to him was about to speak, but Baili Mao glared at him, so he shrank his head and said Silence.
Ruanzai wanted to build up his reputation here. In fact, both the Tierya family and the Jinghua family were very good at growing crops, and Yuanzai didn't want to let them go, especially after seeing the green vegetables.
At first, I was thinking of hiring an agricultural technical talent from Tierya, but now it seems that you, Jinghua, can’t escape either!
I bought the tillers with plows, and bought your Jinghua with dung. Isn’t this flattering?
Yuzai's mood suddenly became very happy!
There are soybeans, rice, leeks and green vegetables! Hey, this is very comfortable!
Only when you have food in your hands can you not panic! Before this, establishing a good relationship with the two tribes who are good at planting is definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm!
“About composting…”
People in the Shanhai Age did not know that dung could be used as fertilizer. People like the Tiler Ya clan only knew that silt could fertilize farmland. It was not until the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty that people discovered that dung could be used to fertilize fields. From then on, the entire Central Plains entered the age of dung. .... To put it bluntly, the amount of manure is related to the amount of fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer is related to the grain harvest. The grain harvest is related to the shortage of grain and grass, and the shortage of grain and grass is related to the war and the lives of frontline soldiers...
Therefore, fighting is equivalent to fighting dirt, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"In today's bad year, if the cultivated land is destroyed and the crops are not enough to make ends meet, then the fields will be used to make up for the shortage with manure. The surface acres of the land will be covered, thorn grass will grow in the grains, and the fields will be filled with manure. This is a common problem for farmers."
"In our planting, we have the saying of plowing in the spring and working in the summer, harvesting in the autumn and storing in the winter. However, due to the heat in the south, planting is also done in autumn and winter. Therefore, the land cannot rest at all times. Farming year after year consumes the soil's fertility. The method of composting is to combine human and The dung of animals was shoveled up and piled into one place..."
"So, don't underestimate the dung, everyone!"
Yu Zai said it very clearly and carefully. In short, it was a tasteful speech.
However, the leaders and the people of the two tribes all regarded farming as very important, so after Yu Zai finished speaking, several leaders temporarily put aside their grudges and looked at each other.
"Let's try it directly on the tiller bud's farmland!"
Baili Mao said this, but Huang Shao refused to give in and sneered: "Zhongyuan Xiaowu told me, Jinghua, about the composting method. What does it have to do with you?"
Baili Mao laughed: "Long before you guys came, the shamans of the Chifang clan had promised to teach the composting method!"
He suddenly thought of what Yu Zai Shen Shen had said before that the land could never rest, and he immediately understood that it must be the composting method.
"What's more..."
Baili Mao stretched out his hand, with Mu Xing's breath lingering around him. He smiled and said to Huang Shao: "With us, the results will be available soon. If your witches are not here, didn't they accuse us of bad things in Chaisang Mountain? Then this The land that is being composted for the first time, I, Mr. Yao, will not let it go."
"you...."
Huang Shao felt a knot of energy in his chest, which was very uncomfortable.
Regarding compost and retting, as the saying goes, manure is real gold and urine is silver. Dirty and filthy things can make crops abundant and all people happy.
"Heaven and earth have their own way, and the world follows the way. Even if you plant a plant to marry a wall, you must follow the way."
Several leaders did not quite understand what Yu Zai said, but Yu Zai himself was just expressing his feelings.
Tao, that is something that will be mentioned very later.
Everyone came to a piece of intact cultivated land in the tiller family. The reason why they did not cultivate the deified fertile soil was because they were afraid that the power of the land itself would exceed the effect of compost, thus affecting the intuitive feeling.
Although fresh manure or dry manure has limited fertility, it requires specific means to completely release their "microcosm of manure". It can be left to soak in a large pit, or piled outside to generate high temperatures. The effect is to adapt to local conditions. Generally speaking, compost is easier to operate when applied, and it is more effective in killing insect eggs and other substances that are caused by high temperatures. The fertilizer ingredients of retting fertilizer are more uniform, and it is also beneficial to replenish the soil fertility of the land itself.
"Our witch's witchcraft is not inferior to that of Baili Mao of the Tingling Ya clan."
Huang Shao said to Yuzai: "On this piece of land, you, Tiler Ya, are going to pick up excrement. I will send someone to go with you, and then send two people back to wait for our shaman. I think he will be able to come here in two or three days. Chaisangshan is back."
"Baili Mao can pull up trees from the ground and summon shadows and fog. Our witches can boil the energy of mountains and swamps."
Huang Shao looked very proud: "Don't underestimate the Jinghua family! We are the descendants of Xigong, the authentic sect of the gods of Jieshan Mountain!"
Bailihao laughed: "The mountain god is Zhengzong, then we are the Zhengshuo of heaven and earth, and I am the son of heaven! Dragon ghosts serve the sky, and you, the mountain god, are just a bird!"
It was a good thing that the two patriarchs did not speculate or fight. In short, this land became a special place for verification, and the verification did not take long. The two wizards, what is very good is that their abilities , just for composting, they can complement each other.
What we need to do now is...
Pick up dirt!
Of course, during the process of picking up dung, Huang Shao saw the tiller Ya family's plow and asked immediately in surprise. However, the tiller Ya clan wizard said: "This is a gift given to us by the Akafang clan. How about it?" ,Not bad right?"
He said this, but the feeling in his mouth was all about showing off.
Huang Shao thought for a while, turned around to Yu Zai, and suddenly said:
"Wizard of the Akakata clan, I think we can talk about the issue of brassica seeds now. I don't know how many you want. I will send someone to deliver them to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two leaders of the Tier Ya clan.
"I'm afraid there aren't many seeds left in the tiller bud family, but we, the Jinghua family, still have a lot in stock here!"
