Chapter 53 Planting Step 2: Method
The door of Li Changqing's house was wide open, and as soon as Li Xi walked in, she was caught by Dong Fengxia who was cleaning the yard.
"Daya, you're finally here!"
Dong Fengxia's eyes lit up. Ever since she left last time, she had been thinking about growing medicinal herbs. She originally thought that it was just a matter of growing something and it would definitely be settled quickly.
Unexpectedly, she waited for a long time but she didn't see her come back. She was so anxious that she wanted to go into the city to find her.
Li Xi deliberately delayed time just for this. Things that are too easily obtained will always make people not cherish them.
"Well, I have been busy with this matter for more than half a month. Doctor Wu said that he can collect the herbs, but the quality must be guaranteed. He talked to me about the planting of fangfeng for several days in a row, and it made me feel dizzy.
It feels so troublesome that I am thinking of quitting." Li Xi frowned.
During the time when Li Xi was not around, Dong Fengxia became more and more interested in growing medicinal herbs. How could she possibly give up?
"What nonsense are you talking about.
Doctor Wu is right. When buying things, one has to consider the quality. For example, rice can be divided into polished rice and japonica rice.
Leave the farming to your uncle Changqing, and let him worry about it."
Li Xi arrived at the courtyard and asked, "By the way, where is my uncle Chang Qing?"
"He's too busy to go to the fields." Dong Fengxia pulled Li Xi into the house, "Come, sit down first. I'll go get you a glass of water."
"Aunt Fengxia, you don't have to be so polite."
"You don't have to be polite to your aunt. It's just a glass of water, not something expensive." Dong Fengxia handed her the napkin. "Look at the time, your uncle should be back soon. Don't worry. We can have lunch at home at noon."
Li Xi tried to refuse in vain, but finally agreed to stay for lunch. She had originally planned to go home and make do with it.
Sure enough, Li Xi didn't have to wait long before Li Changqing came back. He didn't go into the house, but stood under the eaves and brushed the dust off his body.
"You're finally back. Daya has been waiting for a long time." Dong Fengxia heard the noise and went out to call him. She glanced inside the house and whispered, "I think the matter is settled, but Doctor Wu said that the medicine can be collected, but it depends on whether it is good or not.
Daya was afraid of trouble and wanted to back out. "
Li Changqing frowned, "Nothing can be done without trouble. If you are afraid of trouble, you can't accomplish anything."
Dong Fengxia slapped him and said, "Keep your voice down, Daya is still inside.
You think Daya is you, she is just a child, what's wrong with being scared? Ah, what's wrong! "
"Okay, okay." Li Changqing frowned and said, "I'll go in and take a look."
"Go ahead, I'll go cook." Dong Fengxia specifically reminded him to speak in a nicer tone before he went in.
Seeing Li Changqing coming in, Li Xi got off the kang.
"Uncle Changqing."
Li Changqing sat cross-legged on the kang, "You sit down too, don't stand."
Seeing Li Xi sitting down, Li Changqing lit up his pipe and took a puff, "During the time when you were not here, I took your eldest brother to tidy up your family's land.
Your father has a good eye, that piece of land is quite fertile."
Li Xi gave him a thumbs up in her heart. She liked people who would arrange work for her.
"Uncle Changqing, I have already discussed the matter of windproof with Yong'an Hall. They mean that as long as we maintain the quality, they will charge 40 cents per pound.
However, planting windbreaks can be a little tricky.”
Li Xi liked to say the ugly things upfront to avoid trouble later. She didn't think Li Changqing would refuse. After all, it was thirty cents per catty. You should know that rice in the grain store was only thirteen cents per catty, and wheat was only ten cents.
Thirty cents is three times the amount of grain you can earn.
She had already inquired about it. Although she had been lazy for more than half a month, she did not really do nothing. What she said just now was true. Doctor Wu promised that as long as the fangfeng they grew was of good quality and had strong medicinal effects, he would buy all of it at the price of thirty cents per pound.
In fact, we can’t harvest much, after all, we only have one acre of land.
"You think taking care of the crops is easy, but life is not easy. Daya, you can't be picky. I'm a farmer, I don't have much education, but I have to be down-to-earth when doing things."
"Uncle Changqing is right. I was just thinking the wrong thing."
"Don't worry about things in the fields. Just tell me how to plant the windproof grass, and leave the rest to me." Li Changqing was confident that he was a good farmer, so there was no reason why he wouldn't be able to grow medicinal herbs.
“This kind of windbreak does have a few things to note, and Doctor Wu specifically reminded me of this before I came.
Doctor Wu said that it is best to plant this windbreak in a place with deep and loose soil. After choosing a good soil, you need to deep plow and dig drainage ditches, and apply enough farmyard manure when plowing. "
"Farmyard manure?" Li Changqing had never heard of this term.
Li Xi: "...It's just shit."
Li Changqing suddenly realized, "This Doctor Wu is really interesting. Manure is not called manure, but farmyard manure. It can be used as fertilizer by using farmyard manure. This is indeed more elegant than calling it manure."
Li Xi: This is hard to comment on, why not count it?
Li Xi took out a large oil paper bag from her small bag, which contained the windproof seeds she had sold.
"Uncle Changqing, this is the siler seeds. The sowing time for siler seeds is different from that for grains. It is done in March or April.
Before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water for twelve hours. After being taken out, they are mixed with fine sand in a one-to-one ratio, spread evenly in the ditch, and covered with soil and compacted.
If the soil is dry, water it shallowly once until it is moist, but do not overwater.
After planting, the seedlings will emerge in about twenty days. After all the seedlings have emerged, you need to thin them out and remove the diseased seedlings. Just keep an inch and a half between each windbreak plant.
Weeding should be done in time during the planting period. Be careful when loosening the soil and remember not to accidentally damage the root system. Also, keep the soil moist to facilitate emergence and growth of seedlings. Water in time depending on the drought situation. Just water thoroughly and avoid waterlogging.
In order to improve yield and quality, you can also dig furrows between rows to apply fertilizer. When applying topdressing, the fertilizer should be separated from the roots of the windbreak by a certain distance to prevent burning the seedlings.
After sowing, leaves will grow first. No fertilizer is needed in the early stage. Fertilize once in June of the same year. Farmyard manure will be enough. "
In fact, the second topdressing should be done in late August. This time, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizers. The main purpose is to promote root development. She has to think of a way to apply these two fertilizers, so she might as well talk about it later.
After listening to it, Li Changqing didn't think it was that difficult. He felt that it was similar to planting crops, except that it was a little more troublesome when raising seedlings, but everything else was similar.
All require thinning, fertilizing and watering.
"It sounds similar to growing crops. It's not difficult." Li Changqing carefully placed the oil paper bag on the table.
This windproof plant was carefully selected by Li Xi. Its characteristic is that it is easy to grow and there is really no difficulty in planting it.
