Chapter 227 Fertilization
"Take me to see it." Si Ming is most worried about food now.
Jiang Ze didn't dare to delay and took him directly to the fields.
Siming looked at the completely turned over fields in front of him and asked: "Is there any problem with this?"
He was a little confused.
"Commander-in-chief, we didn't turn over all the land yesterday. We only turned over a small part of it." Jiang Ze felt very strange.
When they arrived early this morning, they saw that the land had been completely turned over. They were so stunned that they thought they were still dreaming.
"So the ground was turned over overnight?" Siming looked at him and asked.
"Well, it would have taken quite a while to tidy up the fields, but now we only need to repair the ridges." Jiang Ze felt a little unbelievable.
"This is not a good thing. It can speed up your rice planting." Si Ming looked at Jiang Ze.
"It's a good thing, but it's a bit weird." Jiang Ze couldn't explain what was going on.
"Was there an earthquake yesterday? You didn't notice it." Si Ming looked at Jiang Ze.
"Is there an earthquake?" Jiang Ze was now full of question marks.
"There was an earthquake. You probably were too tired from work yesterday and didn't notice it." Si Ming looked at him firmly and said.
Jiang Ze nodded somewhat mechanically: "It seems like an earthquake. I was wondering why the bed was shaking last night. I thought I was dreaming."
The other people around were also confused. Was there really an earthquake last night?
The best thing is that their houses didn't collapse and they were safe.
But this earthquake is also a good thing. It has reduced their farming pressure. Now they only need to repair the ridges and apply fertilizers.
They hope that there will be another earthquake like this after deep plowing after fertilization, which will reduce a lot of their workload.
Jiang Ze asked everyone to repair the ridges of the fields, and once the ridges were repaired, they would start applying fertilizer.
Siming and the others left and looked at Jiang Ze: "Don't be so surprised by such things in the future. Maybe it was caused by an earthquake."
"I understand." Although Jiang Ze was confused, he couldn't find a better explanation.
"Are the animals ready for deep plowing?" Siming looked at the people busy at the edge of the field.
"Everything is ready. We're just waiting to apply fertilizer and deep plow the land." Jiang Ze pointed at some people and said, "General, these people are very good at farming."
"They have suggested some improved methods, and I plan to plant according to their suggested methods."
Siming looked at the person he was pointing at and said, "Since I'm handing the farmland over to you, you'll be responsible for it."
"Thank you, Governor." Jiang Ze was very grateful for the trust.
"I'll go back first. When the old lady and the young lady come in the afternoon, you can just arrange for them to do their work. There's no need to take special care of them." Siming patted his shoulder.
"Yes." Jiang Ze nodded.
After class in the morning, Juanjuan and his friends arrived at the fields on time.
Liu Yueya also came this time, and the children yesterday waved and greeted them when they saw them.
"Brothers and sisters, we are here to help again!" Juanjuan shouted at them with a smile.
The children all had tanned skin, but their smiles were particularly bright and they nodded at them.
Liu Yueya looked around and said, "Didn't you say you were going to pick up debris from the fields today?"
"But it seems to have been cleaned up and the soil has been turned over once." She knew that she would go to the fields today and specifically asked the servant at home who knew how to farm about the steps of spring plowing.
Si Jinchen was also confused now. When they left yesterday, there were still many places that had not been tidied up. How come they had turned everything upside down overnight?
"There was an earthquake last night. All the fields were turned over, which saved us a lot of trouble." Jiang Ze explained to them.
"There was indeed an earthquake yesterday. I didn't expect that I could help." Mrs. Si's mind was working quickly and she nodded in agreement.
Si Jinchen looked at Juanjuan who was looking around curiously. Could it be related to Juanjuan?
He pulled Juanjuan to get something and prepared to spread farm manure on the field. Today's work was simpler.
Hu Zi just had to drive the cows behind them and plow the land deeply.
Old Madam Si took Liu Yueya to another area, and Jiang Ze drove the ox cart behind them.
"Juanjuan, what did you say to Shushu yesterday?" Si Jinchen was carrying a bucket of decomposed farm manure and spreading it as he walked.
"Let the rats help turn the soil! They are so great!" Juanjuan looked at him with a smile.
"Yeah, that's a great help." Si Jinchen looked at the small bucket in his hand and said, "Juanjuan, this farmyard manure is not easy to spread. Go sit down in the shade and rest."
"Juanjuan can learn!" Juanjuan couldn't lift it, so he could only use a ladle to scoop the farm manure from the bucket and sprinkle it on the ground.
Hu Zi looked at the two children in front of him with a smile on his face. He was worried that they couldn't stand these things.
Afraid that the two children couldn't carry it, he put two baskets on the cow's back so that they could scoop it out when they were done.
Now seeing that they work harder than I do, I can't help but smile.
Liu Yueya just frowned slightly at the beginning, then without saying a word, she picked up her bucket and started applying fertilizer in the field with Madam Si.
To be honest, the decomposed farm manure doesn't have any smell, but she knows what it is made of. If she wants the crops to grow well, this step cannot be skipped.
Old Madam Si has been observing the three children. To be honest, she is more worried about Liu Yueya. This girl is very arrogant, but she is very pleased to see that she is applying fertilizer without changing her expression.
During the lunch break at noon, they still sat under the big tree and ate cold, hard dry food.
"Grandma, this is the dried radish made by my mother. We saw that you didn't bring any food, so my father asked me to give it to you to try." A little girl came over with a broken bowl.
Madam Si looked at the yellowed dried radish and asked, "You gave it to us, do you have anything left to eat?"
"Yes." The little girl has a pair of beautiful dimples when she smiles.
"Thank your father and mother for me." Old Madam Si didn't bother to be polite with her. She thanked her and took the bowl.
"Thank you, sister." Juanjuan thanked her obediently.
The little girl felt a little embarrassed to be thanked like that, so she turned around and ran towards where her family was.
"Try it." Old Madam Si placed the bowl between them.
Before she could tell the children not to eat it, Juanjuan stretched out two little fingers, pinched a piece of dried radish, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Juanjuan tasted something salty and spicy in her mouth, which made her cry instantly. She stuck out her tongue and panted, "Spicy."
"Have a drink of water." Si Jinchen quickly took the dried radish from her hand and brought her a bowl of water.
Juanjuan took a big sip to dilute the spicy taste in her mouth a little, but it was still a bit spicy for her. She sucked her lips and tears and snot came out.
It looks like it's crying, so pitiful.
Madam Si took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears and snot: "Child, I didn't ask you to eat, but you're faster than anyone else."
