Chapter 235 Buckwheat
The harvest of wild vegetables came to an end, and the land was reclaimed.
There are few people growing radishes and cabbage in the private areas of every family vegetable garden. They are not hungry and change to potatoes and sweet potatoes, and plant high-yield pumpkins at any corner. After all, a pumpkin can grow at least 5-8 pieces. If one pumpkin is well-served, it can grow to more than ten or twenty kilograms. What a big deal!
Last year, Jian Ning planted a lot of pumpkins and used high-yield fertilizers. The most vine had 28 pumpkins. In the twenty nests of pumpkin seedlings harvested a roomful of pumpkins. At that time, the old lady was shocked and she promoted how capable her granddaughter was.
Look, a wave of pumpkin plantings emerged in Shuimo Village.
Not only do they plant pumpkins in their own fields, they also plan to plant pumpkins on the corners of public fields. The pumpkins do not have flesh and will not break down for two or three months. They can make dried pumpkins even if they can't finish eating.
As soon as this idea was proposed, it received support from everyone, and some people proposed to plant pumpkins in land near hills and woods.
The harvest was so bad last year, but the harvest of fields near the hills and forests had almost no impact. Everyone wondered if there was a very good Feng Shui there.
In previous years, the land near the hills and forests was disliked by everyone because of the shade of trees, the sunshine was short and the grain yield was low, but this year it was favored by villagers. Last year, the drought was severe and the weather changed, so the miscellaneous grains grown there were unexpectedly very good.
In fact, where does the Feng Shui come from when growing grain come from? It is all due to Jian Ning's watering in the middle of the night. Every time he waters it thoroughly, the water is mixed with nutrient solution. When the sun shines in the morning, the surface of the ground looks dry and irritable, and the moist soil under the invisible soil nourishes the crops.
Jian Ning can take care of these hidden places. First, she must avoid the eyes and ears, and then she can take care of seven or eight thousand acres of land alone.
Eighty hands will cause fatigue and paralysis.
Spring plowing and turning over the land, sowing seeds are busy.
In addition to the corn, wheat, rice and land in Shuimo Village, which needs to be paid for public grain, a large amount of buckwheat is planted on the land. Although the yield is low, it grows fast, has a short growth cycle, and has strong barrenness. The thing grows wildly as soon as it sprouts. It is a crop that can be planted all year round and matures in two and a half months.
Thinking that last year was drought and hail, I took the time to plant a batch of buckwheat, and it would be a wave after two months. If the weather was still normal, continue to plant a batch of buckwheat.
The worst plan is to harvest at least a batch of buckwheat before the disaster comes, and compete with God for time.
Spring is a season when wild vegetables are frequent, and fungus mushrooms are not needed for the time being, and corn and soybeans are planted in the greenhouse.
After getting up early and working late for half a month, the sowing was over. The courtyard on the original site of Jian Ning's bamboo forest was also built. Jiang Yihua had not returned yet because he wanted to move to Shuimu Village to live in Kyoto's property.
Before he set out, Jane Ning told him that the property in Kyoto should not be sold, and someone should be taken care of or rented out for a short period of time.
Not only can you not sell two courtyards in your own home, but it is best to buy a few courtyards to store them. When the world returns to normal, it will be valuable after a decade or two.
Jiang Yihua has three properties under his name. One of the three-bedroom apartments is divided into units and two other yards. One of them is the dowry he got when he got married, and the other is the inheritance left by his grandmother. It is already the limit of this era that he has two courtyards and a three-bedroom apartments under his name. The property he bought is under the name of Jian Ning and Jian Zhenjun.
In addition, there are five properties under his grandfather's name, and four old-style courtyards have been purchased, with a total of nine properties. There are many things to be busy with and will not come back in the short term.
Recently, the Jian family has had many good things, but Wang Anqing has turned white. Many industries in major cities have stopped working and many unemployed people. After more than a year of low income, the national reserve grain consumption is huge, and the city can no longer afford so many people to eat relief grain.
In order to reduce the burden on the country, the documents arrived in all counties and towns, and a large number of people were sent to the countryside. In the past, when people heard about the resignation, the city was too late to hide. Now every family is competing for quotas. No matter how they go to the countryside, they can always collect some food and protect the land for a year. Even if the harvest is not temporarily bad, there is always hope. Staying in the city depends on the arrangements and waiting for relief. If you are lucky, you will be sent to a land like Shuimo Village, which is leaning against mountains and rich in water and products, you will never starve to death.
A group of unknown outsiders are about to enter. The village cadres are worried, and their village has many secrets.
Jian Ning felt that there was no need to be so full of soldiers. The deported personnel had to rely on the village for food. They were not honest, cheated on the guise, and directly detained food. Now, when it comes to food, it is really better than anything else.
Not only were the educated youth in their village not hungry, but they also sent surplus food home. They were all very peaceful, for fear of offending them, and were extremely cautious in their words and deeds.
Last year, there were many disasters, grain productivity was low, and the operation of G households was difficult. In fact, many policies were gradually opened up to encourage development from multiple parties. Last time, town cadres came to inspect and their village greenhouses were exposed. Not that it was nothing, but they received praise and brought cadres from several nearby villages to study on the spot.
"Girl, go and pick up someone with uncle." Wang Anqing met Jian Ning at the entrance of the village and greeted him.
"Uncle, I won't go. I dug a few wild grapes back and got busy going back to plant them." Today, Jian Ning went up the mountain to dig a truckload of wild plants back, wild orchids, mountain grapes, Paphiolenum, gorse flowers...
"Oh, okay." Wang Anqing sighed, wondering how many mouths the above would arrange for their village to consume their food.
In the afternoon, Wang Anqing came back with a dark face. Only after he went there did he find out that the largest number of people were assigned to their village.
There are 130 people, 130 mouths, and their village is not short of strong labor. From the age of fifty or sixty to the age of seven or eight, they can share a lot of farm work.
After several changes last year, everyone gradually turned into a rope. The whole village is now unprecedentedly cohesive. Whenever there is work, they all work hard and work. It is difficult to find a few lazy people.
To put it bluntly, these more than 100 people are completely redundant, which is equivalent to having more than 100 mouths to divide their food.
Anyway, few people in the village look good.
Maybe the above knows that their village is relatively more affordable. Other villages generally accept thirty or fifty people, but they are better off, and they have twice as many people as others.
In the evening, Wang Anqing came to Jian Ning's house to complain as usual. Jian Ning gave him an idea to teach newly-delegated personnel to maintain greenhouses, cultivate greenhouse grain, and then send them to other villages to work and teach technology. This would make some food back.
After hearing this, Wang Anqing slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's still the girl who has many ideas, so it's not in vain."
