Chapter 195 Fertilizer
"Zhiyi, what kind of fertilizer is this? Can it really be used to irrigate crops? Will it work?" Old man Su looked at the fertilizer that was mostly in the urine bucket. It looked gray and he didn't quite believe that it could really make the crops in the field grow well.
Xu Zhiyi: "Grandfather, if you don't believe me, spread it around the roots of the vegetable patch tomorrow, or mix it with water and water the vegetables. But use this fertilizer water first, and then water it again with water. Otherwise, the fertilizer water will get on the leaves and dry them out."
When Old Lady Su heard Xu Zhiyi's confident words, she also believed Daban. Her granddaughter loved to tinker with things and had a smart head. Everything she figured out was really very useful.
Alas, her parents are both not very smart, but they didn’t expect that the granddaughter they gave birth to is so smart!
"Old man, Zhiyi said it works, so it must be useful. Don't we need to water the vegetables anyway? Then why not give it a try? Nothing my granddaughter has ever come up with has ever been useless? This brain is just like me when I was young, smart as hell."
When Old Man Su heard his wife's words, he curled his lips and said, "Like your brain when you were young? You were never that smart before..."
"What do you mean, you old man? Yes, my brain is not working well, so I married you. If I could be a little better, I would be someone else's spouse now!"
"Old lady, that's not what I meant. I'm not that poor, okay? I'm just... just... a little poor."
Old Lady Su snorted coldly: "Is that just a little bit? It's like having no food to eat. But I have never complained about you or despised you. It's because I was not smart when I was young."
"Old woman, I was wrong. I deserve to be slapped for talking nonsense."
When the people around heard what the two old men said, they all remained silent.
Old Lady Su glanced at everyone and twisted Old Man Su's arm a little embarrassedly: "Alright, the younger generations are watching us. The two of us are over a hundred years old combined. Aren't you ashamed of still being so awkward?"
Xu Zhiyi thought that now that it was certain that apatite ore could be used to make fertilizer, she would find an opportunity to take some of the apatite in the space out to the mountain. Even if some villagers saw it, they would think it was just an ordinary stone.
Moreover, in this era, no one has discovered the use of this phosphate ore. The only known useful minerals here are iron ore, gold mine and the like.
Xu Zhiyi went to the corner of the yard and picked up a small piece of phosphate ore left over from last time:
"Grandfather, uncle, starting tomorrow, if you have time, go to the mountain and pick up some of these stones. We can get more fertilizer and fertilize all the vegetables once. The next time can be half a month later. I think we can pick the vegetables after two fertilizations!"
Su Ze took the apatite and looked at it carefully. He found that it was just an ordinary stone. How could this stone be used as cow dung?
"Zhiyi, where can I find this stone? I'll pick it up tomorrow and grind it into powder for you."
"Uncle, have you ever been to Nanling Mountain? There is a mountain halfway up the mountain behind us."
Xu Zhiyi thought about it and decided to talk about a mountain that almost no one had ever been to. She would have to find a chance to get the stone out and put it on the mountainside.
Old Man Su: "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
It was not until before dinner in the afternoon, when everyone was busy in the kitchen and not paying attention, that Xu Zhiyi hurried to Nanling Mountain. He paid special attention to the surroundings and found nothing wrong before he took the stone out of the space.
When Xu Zhiyi looked at the stone that flashed out, he was surprised. He didn't expect that the stone that came out of the space would be like what should be in the mountain, instead of just appearing in a pile on the grass.
Instead, it is directly in the ground, with some of it exposed, and some grass is growing out of the cracks in the rocks. It looks exactly like a natural stone, just like other stones in the mountains, and it doesn't feel like it was placed there on purpose by someone.
After putting the stones in place, he slipped into the space and watered the vegetables. I guess the vegetables can be picked in another seven or eight days!
When I came down to the back hill at the foot of the mountain, I saw a bamboo forest. I couldn't help but go up and dig some bamboo shoots to take back. The bacon I had dried at home was ready, and the bamboo shoots were just right for stir-frying the bacon.
Passing by the homestead, I saw that eight houses had been built, and three of them had already put up the beams.
In the vegetable garden at the back, the seeds sown have now grown to the height of a palm and can be picked in about seven or eight days. On the side are vegetable seedlings planted, and some of the roots can be picked now.
Then I saw vegetable seeds sown behind other houses, and some green sprouts popped out here and there, so if I hadn't soaked the seeds in the space spiritual spring water, it would probably be similar!
"Cousin, where have you been? We're home looking for you for dinner!"
When Xu Zhiyi came out of the vegetable garden and walked to the main road, he saw Su Manman coming towards him.
"I came to check out the vegetable garden and dig some bamboo shoots. Isn't there enough bacon at home? I just happened to want to eat bamboo shoots fried with bacon."
When Su Manman heard this, she suddenly wanted to eat it. The last time she ate bacon was during the Chinese New Year last year, and there were only two pieces.
"Cousin, I ate bacon last year, but I haven't eaten bamboo shoot bacon yet. Is it delicious?"
Just as I asked, I suddenly remembered what the adults in my family said about my cousin and aunt's previous life. How come the Xu family had meat for my cousin and aunt to eat? It was good enough that they didn't eat the flesh and blood of my aunt and cousin!
"Cousin, when Manman makes money in the future, I will let you eat meat every day."
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you then!"
"I remember that the New Year is coming soon. I will be one year older. Next year I will be eleven! Cousin, you will be seventeen!"
The two of them walked all the way back home, and Su Manman was like a chatterbox, chatting non-stop.
The next morning, Xu Zhiyi sent 300 bowl cakes, 50 loaves of bread, and 30 cakes and breads to Su Ji Lou, intending to let Su Ji Lou try to sell them.
Su Mo gave the price: the bowl cake is seven cents each, the bread is now palm-sized and priced at thirteen cents each, and the cake is fourteen cents each.
Xu Zhiyi calculated in his mind that he would take 30% of the profits. The profit of a bowl cake was 1.5 cents, bread was 2.5 cents, and cake was 3 cents. If Su Ji Lou sold a large amount of cakes every day, the 30% he took would be a good income every day.
Plus she makes another penny in profit from wholesale to Su Ji Lou, that is to say, her profit from delivering a bowl cake to Su Ji Lou is two and a half cents, three cents for a piece of bread, and four cents for a cake. This profit is higher than what she could make from setting up a stall!
More importantly, they want a large quantity! When her shop is ready and she can supply goods normally, she can at least supply 600 or more goods every day.
Moreover, when he opens the shop, he can sell the products at a price one cent less than Su Ji Lou. This is what he has discussed with Mr. Su Mo, the owner of the Su family.
With this kind of profit, after deducting the shop rent, I can earn more than when I was setting up a street stall.
After delivering the pastries, she planned to ask the craftsmen to decorate the shop today. She had already drawn the blueprints yesterday.
