There were four houses and a kitchen not far away, and behind them was the toilet that Jiang Ling had strongly suggested.
Jiang Ling walked into one of the rooms. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, making it very bright. There were two beds on either side of the room, along with a square table and two wardrobes. Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction at the simple arrangement.
Then I looked at the other three rooms. The furnishings were all similar, the only difference being the number of beds.
"How is it?" the village chief asked, standing next to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction. Seeing her satisfaction, the village chief continued, "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, perfect for moving!"
“Okay, then I’ll go home and make some wedding cakes and boil some eggs!” Jiang Ling replied.
The village chief and Jiang Ling walked into the wheat field. By now, the buds of Jiang Ling's cotton were growing bigger and bigger. The village chief asked with some doubt, "Jiang, your cotton seems to be growing much faster than Lightning Girl's over there!"
Jiang Ling grinned. Of course she knew. When no one was around, she would secretly fertilize her own fields. How could the cotton not grow fast?
"Fertilizer?" The word suddenly popped into Jiang Ling's mind, and a very vague idea began to gradually become clear in her mind.
"Village chief, there's something I need to think about. I'll tell you when I've figured it out!" Jiang Ling said, then dashed off towards her home.
The village chief looked at Jiang Ling's departing figure with great confusion and shook his head helplessly.
After returning home, Jiang Ling first instructed Jiang Yaojie to boil some eggs, and then she started making some simple wedding cakes, which were basically cakes with some sugar wrapped in dough.
After finishing all that, Jiang Ling went into her room and began to carefully read the information about the fertilizer guide she had bought from the online store.
In this day and age, fertilizing fields is commonplace, but most of the fertilizer used is farmyard manure. Farmyard manure is fine for vegetables and grains, but it is not so good for cotton.
On the contrary, wood ash is the best choice for top dressing cotton, and wood ash is much better than cotton in terms of both smell and acceptability.
Thinking of this, the concept of a fertilizer plant suddenly popped into Jiang Ling's mind.
Nowadays, people only use farmyard manure for fertilization. If different types of fertilizers were made, the crops in the fields and the vegetables in their own yards would definitely grow better.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling bought another book in the mall and began to read it carefully.
But as she looked at it, Jiang Ling felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She never expected that this fertilizer would require human excrement or some kitchen waste to ferment.
Just thinking about the smell made Jiang Ling want to vomit, but she forced herself to continue watching.
Fertilizer can help plants grow and develop better. These farmers rely entirely on their few acres of land for a living. If they can increase production or grow better, Jiang Ling can be considered to have benefited the local area.
As night fell, Jiang Ling still didn't rest. She carefully wrote down the recipe on coarse paper, planning to discuss the matter with the village chief the next day.
Nowadays, cotton only needs wood ash, but rice in early spring needs fertilizer, commonly known as nitrogen fertilizer. This fertilizer is mostly derived from household waste and is relatively easy to make.
Jiang Ling carefully flipped through the book, meticulously recording each step of the production process.
After finishing all that, Jiang Ling carefully put the book away and blew out the candle.
Three loud crowings of roosters awakened the sleeping Lujia Village.
Jiang Ling washed up early in the morning and led the children toward the nursing home, where a crowd had already gathered at the entrance.
The village chief was beaming. The things for the elderly women had been packed up the night before. Jiang Ling handed the wedding cakes and eggs to the village chief's husband, and the village chief, beaming, distributed them to everyone.
The village chief looked up at the sky, coughed lightly, and said, "Today is the opening day of our nursing home. Our four elderly people will be living here from now on. Don't worry, we're not confining them; rather, we're making it easier to take care of them!"
Grandma Cao had some concerns at first, but looking at the bright house and the fragrant food, she finally put aside all her worries.
"Also, the list of those selected has been released. Don't worry if you weren't selected; I believe you'll have another chance in the future! But those who were selected shouldn't be smug. If I find out that you've mistreated or mistreated these four elderly women, I won't just deduct your wages; I'll also make this public! As for the land that some people are concerned about, the land deeds are still in the hands of the elderly women!"
The village chief's words reassured everyone, and the unpleasant whispers completely disappeared. Suddenly, a man in the crowd grinned and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the village chief, turned and vanished into the crowd.
Seeing the four elderly people beaming with joy, Jiang Ling knew she had done the right thing. She stood silently to the side, waiting for the village chief to launch into his long speech.
After he finished speaking, there was enthusiastic applause from the crowd, and everyone gradually dispersed, leaving only a small group of people.
"Village Chief, I have something to say to you!" Jiang Ling said, moving closer to the village chief.
Before the village chief could reply, Jiang Ling pointed to her own field and continued, "Yesterday, village chief, didn't you ask me why my cotton plants were growing so well? That's because I apply fertilizer regularly!"
“That’s not right. Zhao Erleng’s wife’s family and Shandian’s family also apply fertilizer regularly, but their growth isn’t as good as yours!” The village chief stroked his chin, looking puzzled.
"There are two reasons for this. First, I planted my cotton earlier than the other two, so it looks to be growing better. Second, and most importantly, the fertilizers are different!" Jiang Ling explained.
"The fertilizers are different? Aren't they all farmyard manure? What's the difference?" The village chief didn't understand Jiang Ling's words and frowned as he asked.
After listening, Jiang Ling shook her head and continued to patiently explain: "They are different. For example, the rice we plant in the summer needs a fertilizer to help it grow quickly. This fertilizer is also called nitrogen fertilizer. Cotton, on the other hand, needs wood ash!"
The village chief nodded as if he understood, but was about to ask further when Jiang Zhishan suddenly ran over, panting. His face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked very anxious.
This was the first time Jiang Ling had seen Jiang Zhishan like this. She frowned and asked, "Zhishan, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Big sister! No...no good! Something's happened to Congxin...something's wrong with Congxin!" Jiang Zhishan said, frowning.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling felt a sudden jolt in her heart, and her vision went black. If Jiang Zhishan hadn't caught her quickly, Jiang Ling would probably have lost her balance and fallen to the ground.
"What exactly happened?" Jiang Ling frowned and continued to press for answers!
