Chapter 153: The Accident Comes First
Thinking about the fermented fertilizer, Lu Miao was full of energy. Before he finished his meal, he was thinking about going home with Chen Guifen to pick up pumpkins.
Chen Guifen stopped her and said, "Eat first. I'll definitely bring it to you tomorrow."
"Okay then, hehehe."
Lu Miao laughed out loud embarrassedly.
Chen Guifen remembered Fu Jingyou's instructions. Lu Miao was afraid of being alone at home, so she asked Lu Miao:
"Are you afraid of being alone at night? If you are, come sleep with me tonight."
"Um……"
Lu Miao hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "It's okay, auntie, I can do it alone."
Actually, I am still afraid, but she is so old now, it would be too embarrassing to tell others!
And apart from being afraid, Lu Miao still has other things to do.
As for fertilizer, she really needs to calculate the ratio.
Seeing that she was determined, Chen Guifen said nothing more.
After waiting for Lu Miao to finish his meal, Chen Guifen took the dishes and chopsticks home.
Lu Miao tidied up briefly, then quickly closed the door. Holding the kerosene lamp tightly in his arms, he walked to the kitchen at the back to prepare to boil water for a bath.
There were two large buckets in the kitchen, which Fu Jingyou had filled when he left.
The large wooden tub used for scooping water, boiling water and taking a bath is usually very heavy, and is almost impossible to move after it is filled with water.
Lu Miao abandoned the idea of using a large wooden basin and mixed hot water and cold water in a small wooden bucket and washed his hair in the backyard.
I used a small wooden bucket and washbasin to take a bath in the kitchen corridor.
After pouring the water and carefully locking the back door, she returned to her room in a fresh outfit, holding the lamp.
With the door closed and the curtains drawn, the entire space was sealed, and Lu Miao felt a lot safer.
There were pens and letter paper in the luggage. After putting the lamp away, Lu Miao took out the things and sat at the long table by the window, then started working.
At present, in many rural areas of our country, people mix things like vegetable leaves, straw, feces and water together to make compost.
In traditional farming, composting is done by just throwing in whatever is available.
Throw away some rotten vegetable leaves today, and pour out some rotten fruits and kitchen waste tomorrow. It is a process of continuous accumulation, so it takes a long time and the fermentation of fertilizer is slow.
Lu Miao happened to know a method of fermenting fertilizer that was significantly different from composting in essence and results.
Before traveling through time, although Lu Miao had only attended freshman courses for half a semester, she had noticed a method called Berkeley composting during an open theoretical course on ecological cycles.
Composting is a type of cold composting and anaerobic composting. Anaerobic bacterial fertilizers generally move at the groundwater level, so when composting, you often need to dig a pit.
Berkeley composting is a type of hot composting and aerobic composting.
Aerobic bacteria live in the upper layer of groundwater. If the conditions are not met, they cannot survive and composting cannot be successful.
Berkeley composting is generally done on the soil surface, and there are three elements that need to be paid attention to.
1. Adequate oxygen.
2. 60% humidity.
3. Carbon-nitrogen ratio of 25:1.
Once the three elements are properly adjusted, aerobic microorganisms will multiply rapidly, accelerate decomposition, and generate heat during the process.
If the temperature of the compost can be maintained at around 65° for two to three days, the insect eggs and some harmful bacteria in the compost will be effectively eliminated.
This is also a major advantage of hot composting.
In addition to killing most insect eggs and pathogens, traditional composting usually takes six months, eight months or even a year to take shape.
Berkeley composting is even faster, producing fertilizer in as little as eighteen days.
If this method is mastered and flexibly applied, Dahe Village's fertilizer problem will be largely solved.
Even if we can mobilize everyone to act together later, we will be able to solve all the fertilizer problems!
The more Lu Miao thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that this was a big deal.
Lu Miao was busy until very late that night.
The more than ten pages of letter paper in her hand were almost filled with her writing.
From the initial preparations, to the various precautions, the problems that can be imagined, and the relevant solutions, she listed them all clearly.
Lu Miao was ready to go. If it wasn't already night time and it was pitch black outside where she couldn't see anything, she would have wanted to take action right now!
After reading the manuscript for a long time under the lamp, Lu Miao pressed the manuscript with a pen, turned off the light and went to bed contentedly.
Lu Miao was thinking about something in his mind and his attention was always focused, so he didn't feel scared.
But when she lay on the bed, the whole room was plunged into darkness, her thoughts came back to her, and she couldn't help but feel scared again.
Lu Miao pulled the small quilt over his head and went to sleep.
It was neither cold nor hot in the autumn night, but Lu Miao felt stuffy and exhausted when he slept with his head covered. He was sweating all over in a short while, but he just didn't dare to lift the quilt.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Miao began to feel sleepy. Her body and mind relaxed, and she became a little braver. Although she was still afraid, the deflated quilt was really uncomfortable, so she slowly lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing half of her face.
Later, I was so sleepy that I gave up on myself and thought, "Let it be a ghost! I can just come out and scare her to death to save her from so much pain."
Lu Miao hummed softly, kicked the quilt away, turned over and fell into a sound sleep.
At night, Lu Miao had a dream about practicing composting in Berkeley.
In the dream, she encouraged herself to work hard, and many people were willing to follow her, which made her very happy.
Later, she was awakened by the cold in the early morning. She got up in a daze and pulled the quilt, only to realize that she was dreaming. At that time, when she was half asleep and half awake, the thoughts in her mind were very pure. She thought that she must take positive action when the sun rose.
Once it is accomplished, not only will the problem be solved, but no one will dare to talk about her behind her back as a useless and lazy woman.
Even a lazy woman.
That would have to be a lazy woman with skills and brains...
Thinking of this, Lu Miao tilted his head and fell asleep again.
She wanted to get up early to work, but she was usually lazy, and Fu Jingyou always spoiled her, so she had unknowingly developed the habit of sleeping in.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the door of the Fu family was still not opened.
Lu Miao was still asleep, but the random noises outside the door disturbed her sweet dreams.
It turns out that you can never tell which will come first, the accident or the plan.
“It’s right here!”
"Hmph! This doesn't look like a place where good people live! Who of you will go knock on the door?"
Lu Miao just woke up. She was in a bad mood because of her bad mood after waking up, and the noise outside the house made her fall into confusion for a short time.
It was not until the door was smashed "duangduangduang" by someone with brute force that Lu Miao gradually realized what was happening.
While Fu Jingyou was not at home, someone came from the town to attack him...
"Open the door! Is anyone home? Open the door quickly!"
The sound of banging on the door was getting louder and louder, and it was impossible to avoid it by staying at home.
