“I asked Aunt Wu, and she said that at the current rate of growth of chickens and ducks, they may start laying eggs in another two months.”
Ning Jing looked at the chickens and ducks and said with some excitement.
Upon hearing this, the lingering resentment in Tan Dingguo's heart vanished completely.
"Haha, good, good, as long as it lays an egg, that's great!"
After all, most of the money for the bran was paid for by the village.
Once you lay an egg, you can exchange it for money.
“Village chief, I was thinking that after the late-season soybeans and corn in the village are harvested, we should cut off all the husks and stalks and then let them ferment together with the cow dung and human excrement.”
When they have grown to a sufficient size, bury them in the ground.
In that case, wouldn't it be much better if we plowed the land and sowed the seeds next spring?
Ning Jing shared her thoughts about what she had been thinking about at home with Tan Dingguo.
Previously, each household used their own outhouse for excrement and urine, which was usually mixed with water to water vegetables.
Upon hearing Ning Jing's suggestion, Tan Dingguo paused, his hand holding the pipe still.
"Will those chopped soybeans and corn stalks be of any use if they're mixed with cow and human dung?"
After all, in the past, people in Xishan Village would simply tidy these things up and take them home to use as kindling.
Ning Jing nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry, village chief. If earthworm composting works, then composting these corn stalks with cow and human manure will definitely be fine too."
"At that time, we'll build a few septic tanks along the edge of the fields, and the villagers can pile their manure, chopped husks, and corn stalks into them."
She was so certain because she had spent a gold coin to ask Fuqiang.
After all, the fertilizer produced by earthworms alone is simply not enough.
Using soybean hulls and corn stalks for composting is the only best and most convenient method that Fuqiang can think of right now!
Of course, Fuqiang also said that as long as Ningjing can upgrade the mall system to level 3, she will be able to buy many things.
For example, fertilizers, once applied to the field, will make the field highly fertile for the entire year.
It will only weaken after the grain is harvested.
If the soil needs to be fertilized again, then naturally we'll have to buy that medicine again.
However, both upgrading the shop system and obtaining gold coins from the fertile land's medicine are quite substantial.
Whether Ning Jing needs to upgrade her character or buy medicine, the road ahead is long and uncertain.
Hearing Ning Jing's confident words, Tan Dingguo's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I will hold a meeting then to gather the villagers who want to dig septic tanks and then try their best to remove the feces from their homes."
If we can really compost properly, the land will be fertile, there will be more grain, and everyone will be able to eat their fill.
Next year, he can report a slightly higher output figure.
After finishing her work, Wang Guihua stood aside and waited to see what the village chief and Ning Jing were talking about.
Seeing that the village chief had almost finished discussing the matter and was preparing to leave the farm with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Village chief, when will the timber that Dazhu bought from the village be ready?"
As you know, my son Genlin is not young anymore, and we've already agreed with the other party that we want to get married before the Chinese New Year.
You know our house; Genlin has always lived there with his two younger brothers.
"Now that you're married, you can't keep living with your two younger brothers, right?"
Wang Guihua finished speaking in one breath; she was anxious.
Dazhu has submitted the note to the brigade headquarters for quite some time now, but it still hasn't been approved.
If the timber permit can't be obtained, we can't build the house to the top but leave it exposed to the elements, can we?
