"Find out the matter of buying a homestead from Li Zheng sooner rather than later." Li Sanzhu reminded.
The walls of the old house have not fallen down. When there are more people, there is only one roof, and repairs can be made quickly.
Everyone in Lijia Village is busy resting and renovating their houses. The days have to go on. Fortunately, it has rained and there is no shortage of water in the fields. There is no need to worry about planting crops.
Here in Linshan County, it stands to reason that after the Dragon Boat Festival, families with paddy fields will plant a crop of rice. Nowadays, due to the drought, the rice seedlings have not been able to go to the ground. It is a month late, and there has been no rain. It is difficult for people to drink water, and some families have no rice seedlings at all.
The rain fell as soon as it came, and the crops grown on the best farmland were ruined.
Li Qiusui's family has paddy fields, and she also has two farms, and the seedlings have been raised long ago.
As soon as the rain stops here, rice transplanting begins there.
Li Qiusui's Zhuangzi, one is on the outskirts of Fucheng, and the other is in Linshan County, some distance away from Lijiacun.
In the early stage of raising seedlings, including when the rain came and planting rice seedlings started, and Li Qiusui continued to explain, Zhao Dazai was busy running back and forth.
When all the paddy fields in Lijia Village are filled, there will still be rice seedlings left.
Li Sanzhu had warned him in advance about the paddy field next to his old house and had planted seedlings in advance. Neighbors, including Mrs. Ma’s family next door, knew that Li Sanzhu was a good farmer and came over to discuss their opinions before it rained. .
Every family has raised rice seedlings, and the rice seeds were provided by Li Sanzhu's family.
In the past two years, due to lack of water, the paddy fields have been delayed. They have been treated as ordinary dry land and drought-tolerant crops have been planted. Fortunately, the county magistrate is a good official. He wrote to the court to waive part of the tax, and the people finally passed this test. .
As mentioned before, Li Sanzhu's farming yielded 15% more than others. Life at home has been better in the past two years. Although the harvest in the orchard is not good, there is still money.
Li Changshan stopped going to the town to study in the past two years, and many things at home became much easier with his help.
Li Sanzhu now had something else to think about.
Li Qiusui has been a little distracted since returning home. First, he was tinkering with buying a hilltop and planting fruit trees. In the early stage, I secretly used my powers to cheat. Later, I started tinkering with herbal medicines, which could prevent insect pests and root rot. Later, when there was a drought, I came up with herbs that could prevent moisture loss.
After a lot of trouble, the fruit trees actually grew pretty well without using her powers.
Some villagers came to deliver herbal medicines to the pharmacy, and she would exchange them for some herbal seeds or herbs specially used for growing fruit trees.
At first, there were some people who complained behind my back, but after using the herbal medicine and seeing that their fruit trees were really thriving, they became completely speechless.
Not only the villagers of Lijia Village came to exchange for herbal medicines, but Chen Qi knew the effects of these herbs and often came to buy herbs from Li Qiusui's family.
As time went by, the reputation spread, and people who grew fruit trees in the surrounding area came to visit one after another.
The medicine shop opened by Li Qiusui specializes in serving fruit trees, so naturally she sells it to people who want to buy it.
Therefore, in the past two years, the efficiency of the medicine shop has been better than the harvest of the orchard, and Li Qiusui is very proud of this.
As for the medical skills taught by Divine Doctor Yang, she has read through all the books given to her. She can identify herbs and explain their medicinal properties. She can give you clear explanations even without cheating with supernatural powers.
It’s Divine Doctor Yang. I wonder what he would think when his young disciple, whom he trained as a closed disciple, has become a master of herbal medicine targeting fruit trees.
Around that time, Divine Doctor Yang went to the capital. The mountains were high and the rivers were long. What Li Qiu Sui was doing here, if she didn't write a letter to explain, Divine Doctor Yang would never know.
It was these that inspired Li Sanzhu, and he often took Li Qiu Sui to help prepare herbal medicines for crops. He wanted to let Li Qiu Sui plant crops, but Li Qiu Sui had no patience and did not want to suffer. He could cheat in a minute. Give you a big movie.
It’s much easier to get herbs, they prevent pests, help take root and strengthen seedlings, and even a batch of seeds can be optimized for you.
During the drought in the first two years, Li Sanzhu used the herbs prepared by Li Qiusui. However, the water shortage was severe, but the harvest was better. People only regarded Li Sanzhu as a member of the family and poured water into the fields. Who in the village could have this? ability?
If you have the strength, you might as well go home and lie down, and drink less water.
For this season's rice, Li Sanzhu put in a lot of patience. He personally selected the seeds one by one, and used all the herbs that Li Qiusui got to take root, strengthen the seedlings and prevent pests.
Li Qiusui was afraid that his father would be disappointed, and the back and forth was tiring, so he followed Li Sanzhu from beginning to end to make this batch of rice seedlings thrive.
Those leftover rice seedlings were given away when villagers came to ask for them.
If you want to grow good crops, it doesn't mean everything will be fine once you have good seedlings. First of all, you have to be diligent and willing to put in a lot of effort.
Next, you need to fertilize your soil. In this era without chemical fertilizers, we mainly rely on artificial retting. As long as farmers know how to farm, almost all farmers have their own methods.
Li Qiusui has never really farmed in her two lives. She doesn't know how to fertilize and plow the ground. Fortunately, Li Sanzhu has his own methods. Even in the past two years of drought, he has not been idle. When he has time, he will plow the land at home. , plant some crops, just don’t expect a harvest, and they can be used to fertilize the land after they are soaked and rotten.
Li Qiusui was inspired by it. One day he went for a walk in the mountains and found a kind of grass. It was drought-resistant, had thick leaves, had a short growth cycle, and was easy to rot. It was the best natural fertilizer.
The only disadvantage of this kind of grass is that it must be planted in the beginning of spring. It is difficult for this kind of grass to survive if it is too hot in summer and too cold in winter.
If it were a good year, no one would be willing to let the land go uncultivated in the spring. This year's drought has created such conditions. At the beginning of spring, Li Sanzhu ordered people to scatter the seeds early, but now they have been buried deep underground.
If you want a good harvest in autumn, the water source is very important for thinning out seedlings, especially for planting rice. This water also needs to be recycled, how to dig canals, how to divert water...
Li Sanzhu is an expert at growing crops, and Li Qiu Sui doesn't need to say more about this.
Throughout the summer, Li Qiusui and Li Sanzhu often ran to their paddy field. Even though she had special powers, her skin was tanned than in previous years, mainly because her face was red.
On this day, Li Qiu Sui was going out with Li Sanzhu again, and Ms. Liu quickly stopped them.
She didn't talk about her little daughter, but shouted at Li Sanzhu, "You take her to the fields all day long, look at how the sun has turned out. You don't know how to grow crops. I want your little daughter to teach you step by step." ?”
Not to mention, his little girl is also a good farmer!
Li Sanzhu didn't dare to say this to his wife, so he coughed and said to Li Qiu Sui, "The sun is setting outside, so Sui Sui will wait at home first, and then come find me when the sun sets!"
Before Ms. Liu could say anything else, the man carrying the shovel disappeared.
Mrs. Liu herself doesn't go to work much anymore, and her eldest daughter Xia He has also turned white in the past two years. This little girl, who has been fair since childhood, has become tanned.
When Li Sanzhu was no longer in front of her, Mrs. Liu began to scold Li Qiu Sui, "Look at you, you are also a teenage girl. In the past two years, you knew that the sun was shining brightly and you were hiding at home to relax. Why are you becoming more and more stupid now! Since then! From now on, you are not allowed to run outside for me..."
