After dressing as a widow

The Lin family had a good year this year, and the remaining pig head was cooked like that day and made into cold salad, and the pig offal that they couldn't help covering their noses was also turned into fat sausage, pork belly stew, and fried meat by Lin Zhen's hands. Stir-fried kidneys and boiled lung slices made the Lin family think they were dreaming!

After the new year, the weather is a little clearer, and the village is busy.

The Lin family also rushed to plant sorghum and buckwheat in the spring, but there was one more procedure compared to previous years. When planting, they first put two handfuls of fermented soil dung in the pit, and then threw the seeds.

The news about the fertilizer has been spread in Liyu Village for a long time, and the old farmers passing by will come to have a look, touch a few, and shout to Father Lin in the field: "What kind of fertilizer is this?"

Father Lin, who was carrying a large load of dung on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead. A smile appeared on his dark, deeply lined face: "Yes, I just dug it from the yard, and it's still warm. .”

The old farmers shook their heads: "It's nothing magical to look at, I'm afraid it will be a waste of work."

Father Lin put the basket on the ridge of the field: "Anyway, it's all mud. It's nothing but a little effort. Third uncle, do you want to try some?"

The old farmer waved his hands again and again: "There are only a few acres of land at home, so I dare not toss like you." He stood up and patted his pants, "You should be busy, we are leaving."

Not far away, the voices of several people reached Father Lin's ears, saying that they were fascinated by Lin Zhen, and that the whole family might be hungry this year.

Father Lin pretended not to hear, and took a dustpan to scoop out the dung in the back basket and handed it to other people in the field. The family was so busy that a sweat broke into eight petals.

Lin's second sister-in-law also went home once and told her family how to use fertilizer.

However, due to lack of time, the method of composting could not be used, so Lin Zhen told Mrs. Lin that she could change to another one, pick out the manure in the cesspit, add two buckets of water to one bucket of manure, and drench it once before planting, and once the seedlings grow out. Get another shower at knee height.

When Second Aunt Lin returned to her natal home, Aunt Lin specially asked him to take half of the piece of cloth that Lin Zhen had brought along with him, and a small bag of candy cubes dipped in powdered sugar.

Father Zhao was almost frightened when he saw what he brought, and pulled Zhao Xiu into the corner and said in multiple voices: "Does your father know what you brought, Xiu'er, you can't tell your aunt Like Sister Li from her family, she emptied her husband's house and her mother's house, and now she doesn't even want to go back to other people's house."

Zhao Xiu patted him: "Dad gave it to me, Dad, I am sensible."

"But it doesn't have to be so expensive. It's both cloth and sugar." Whether it's cloth or sugar, it's too expensive in the Zhao family. Have you ever tasted sugar?

Besides, Father Zhao knew the situation of Lin's family quite well, although it was better than his family's, but that's it, otherwise the two families wouldn't be able to get married.

Zhao Xiudao: "Brother Zhen brought it during the Chinese New Year."

"True brother?" Father Zhao's expression changed, "Isn't he..."

Lin Zhen's reputation in the village isn't bad, but he won't have any good words. It is well known that he made troubles in order to hook up with Young Master Qian. He never greeted him when he met him, as if he wanted to shake the mud off his feet completely, and become a high-ranking townsman.

Even if he was divorced by Young Master Qian later, he would soon move to Mrs. Gu to live.

The people in the village look down on his style, but they have to admit that he does have this capital.

Zhao Xiudao: "Father, Brother Zhen is different from before. He learned a good way to increase the harvest from Gu Da, and asked me to tell you about it."

The yield per mu rose from more than 100 catties to [-] catties. After listening to it, everyone's heart beat faster. The father of the Zhao family gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and finally listened to Zhao Xiu.

The Lin family's more than ten acres of land were so busy that Aunt Lin and the others were about to break their backs. Fortunately, God favored them, and there were a few spring rains just after planting, and tender new shoots soon appeared in the land.

Lin Zhen also put his energy into his own affairs. He ran a few times in the town, walked all the streets and alleys, and finally decided to do Mala Tang, a business with low cost and within his own scope of risk.He is still very confident in his craftsmanship, even if he doesn't make money, he will never lose money.

Just do what you say, Lin Zhen went to the only spice shop in the town, bought all the seasonings available, and then prepared the ingredients, don’t think about beef and mutton, mutton is too expensive, killing cattle is against the law, so only Cut a catty of pork, take a pig's head and two pigs into the water.

There are few vegetables in the field in spring, but there is no shortage of cabbage and radishes. Dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried fungus are also available at home, and I buy half a plate of tofu.

The spices were expensive, and it cost about one tael or eight taels of silver. This was due to the fact that Lin Zhen didn't buy much, he only bought a few, and the pig's head and pig's water only cost eight taels of money.

Now, Lin Zhen only has nine taels of silver left.

As soon as spring came, the spring breeze was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes. Lin Zhen walked for several hours before returning home, sweating profusely as he put down his back basket, and eagerly took a gourd ladle to drink water.

The adults are all busy in the fields, only Lin Xiaoyao who cooks and Huai Xiang who looks after the baby are left at home.

Lin Xiaoyao handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and looked at the overstuffed pannier: "Why do you buy so many things?"

"I plan to make some food and sell it. By the way, who made the cart in our family?"

"Big Brother and Second Brother made it, do you want to use it?" Lin Xiaoyao is not as tall as Lin Zhengao, her skin is dark, but she can see that she has a good foundation.

Lin Zhen poured water on the handkerchief, wiped his face and neck and said, "I want them to make me a new one, and push to sell things."

"Then just wait for them to come back and say something." Just as Lin Xiaoyao finished speaking, the second elder brother Lin who had gone to the field came in one after the other, and asked while putting the hoe in the house, "What did you say?"

Brother Lin, Brother Lin, was very energetic, and his tone of voice contained uncontrollable joy.

Lin Zhen hung the handkerchief on the wall, looked at the excitement of the two of them, and asked, "Brother and Brother, have you picked up money? Why are you so happy?"

Brother Lin almost grinned to his ears: "San'er, our sorghum grows well!"

Eleven or twelve days have passed since the sowing, and the seeds have almost germinated.

At this time in the past, the Lin family would replant those that hadn't germinated. Sometimes it was a small half, and sometimes it was three quarters.

Moreover, the replanted ones are shorter than the first sprouted ones, and the sun will be blocked by the first sorghum and buckwheat seedlings, so they will not grow well.

But this year the Lin family's ten-acre field is so good that it's unbelievable. Not only are the seedlings growing neatly, but the seedlings are stronger and greener than those of other families planted together at the same time. At first glance, it looks like a green blanket on the bed.

Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin have been planting crops for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen such good seedlings. Thinking that these seedlings will turn into sorghum and buckwheat full of tassels in the future, the two of them even gasped for breath. Hot!

Lin Zhen said: "Father and Father also went to see it?"

Brother Lin nodded: "They went to Pingzidi, and they are probably on their way back."

"It's fine if it grows well. When the seedlings grow taller, weed the weeds. Maybe the yield will be higher than what I said at the beginning."

"It's... still higher!" Brother Lin and Brother Lin were about to have their tongues bitten off.

They all remember that Lin Zhen said at the time that he could collect more than 300 catties, and it could be higher...

Lin Zhen, who has experienced modern farming, knows that the power of fertilizers is enormous, and the vitality of seeds is beyond people's imagination. In modern times, the yield of more than [-] catties per mu of land can only be called mediocre, high-yield crops Eighty-nine hundred catties can be seen everywhere.

This is the miracle of life created by seeds and manure.
