Chapter 29 Fertilizers
The soup is delicious.
Although the conditions are simple, it must be admitted that this is definitely the highest level since you learned to take action.
So, after drinking, Chen Yuan took a large bowl without hesitation and brought it home.
By the way, I will tell you that no matter what the future wild vegetables are, please remember to send them a copy.
At this time, the two little girls in the room also woke up, put on their clothes, blushed, and helped each other out.
The frequent frowning looks are heartbreaking.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan laughed in his heart and told you to come and knock on the door if you don’t sleep at night. Now you know it’s amazing, right?"
But he said warmly: "Brush your teeth and wash your face. Breakfast is ready. After breakfast, you will have a good rest and you will be fine soon."
"oh……"
The two girls' faces were red, and they felt a little sweet for no reason.
Shortly after that, I sat at the table together.
Surprise also follows!
"Is this, Shimi?" Zheng Yan was shocked after taking a bowl of red dates and egg soup.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Shimi?"
“That’s, that’s…”
After talking for a long time, Chen Yuan realized that it was sugar.
Sucrose, now called Shimi, was originally from Tianzhu, the Western Regions. It was named because it was blocky and hard as stone.
And this thing has always been a tribute and is generally unaffordable among the people.
The folk food is malt sugar, that is, malt sugar, which is very different in taste and sweetness.
In other words, if you don’t sell pepper or sugar, you will make a fortune.
If you don’t sell brown sugar, you can sell sugar and rock sugar that you don’t have at the moment, and you can even get it to the sky.
Therefore, both girls cherished it very much and drank it completely, leaving only licking the bowl.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan talked about the food arrangements outside, and it might not be necessary to have eggs, mutton and fresh fish.
In short, the daily food expenditure of ten people shall not be less than twenty cents.
Zheng Yan felt that it was a bit too much, and Jiang Li thought so too.
But who said they were slaves?
Besides, they are all husbands, so naturally, whatever husband says is what he says.
...
Breakfast ends like that.
After the meal, the two people who had first tried the personnel matters insisted on taking over the task of cleaning up the mess.
Afterwards, he blushed and begged to take away the sheets he had slept with last night.
Then, he set off his posture and became a female red girl while cultivating.
Chen Yuan came outside.
Outside, they were very motivated, hoe the ground, pick up manure, some people worked hard to harvest weeds, some burned wood ash, mixed soil, and were in order.
Nodded in his heart, Chen Yuan walked to the mound of soil and asked with a smile: "Old Zhang, where are you fat?"
Old Zhang is only over thirty years old.
But now there are more than thirty or fifty, and Lao Zhang is indeed the oldest and most experienced among these people.
In the past few days, he has been making arrangements from sheep pens, cowsheds, to land reclamation.
The serious production team leader.
Lao Zhang stopped and laughed: "Yes, Ah Lang, it's a fertile way. The crops are all fertile. If the soil is not fat, it will be difficult to get a good harvest."
Chen Yuan looked around and asked, "Is this fat enough?"
Lao Zhang scratched his head: "It's not enough, and it's a bit too late. It takes time to make fat. But if you don't sow seeds, the spring plowing will be over."
After saying that, he thought for a while and said, "Alang wants to trust villains, he might as well spend some money and go to Chang'an City to buy some gold juice."
"Golden juice?"
"It's human feces, that's the best fertilizer. It's very fat and it's the best place to farm."
After all, Chen Yuan understood after all. After Lao Zhang said this.
In terms of fertility, human urine, water, feces, are definitely the best solutions.
And because it is naturally corroded, it can be directly raised after being pulled, and there is no need to wait for time to ferment.
The question is, do you have to buy this thing?
Lao Zhang scratched his head: "This villain doesn't know, but I heard that he wants to buy it.
Some people specialize in this business. On the one hand, they collect money to collect manure from each household in Chang'an City, and on the other hand, they sell the manure they have collected to farmers at a high price to make money from both ends.
It is said that for this matter, several waves of people often fight, and they are bleeding from the heads of blood."
Chen Yuan: “…”
Manure, sold at both ends!
I won’t say that, I’m actually fighting for territory and fighting for this, and it feels absurd no matter how I hear it!
But what if these "golden juice" are replaced with fertilizer?
Isn't this easy to understand?
If I remember correctly, when he was young, there was insufficient supply of fertilizers, and many locals in the countryside fought over this.
After all, in the era when food and clothing have not been solved, fat is equal to food to some extent.
But I spent so far away, spending money, buying manure, and dragging it over, but I still felt uncomfortable no matter how I thought about it.
Besides, he didn't plan to grow too many food crops.
Then he asked, "What kind of fat are you?"
Lao Zhang said: "The main ones are manure, green manure, ash manure, manure is human and animal manure, green manure, weeds, mung beans..."
"Wait, you said mung beans are just that kind of small, green, beans?" Chen Yuan quickly stopped hearing that there were mung beans.
What a joke, isn’t mung beans food?
When did mung beans become fertilizer? mung bean paste is so delicious!
Old Zhang was stunned: "It's mung beans, which are a little bigger than sorghum rice, and are green. Although they are not as good as human and animal manure and urine, they are also good fertilizers."
Chen Yuan: “…”
"Okay, let's continue."
"Well, gray fertilizer is the wood ash next to the villain. Although the fertility of the wood ash is low, it is better than not."
Lao Zhang pointed to the wood ash next to him, paused, and said, "It's not necessary. Wood ash can be fermented into fertilizer with chopped weeds and mung beans.
If you pour rice water, water, and manure and urine, the effect will be better.
There are also cattle and sheep bones, fish bones, clam shells, and these, which are ground into powder after burning and grinding, and can also be used as fertilizer."
After saying this, Chen Yuan found that Tang people were still very powerful, and there were so many names in fertilizers. Unlike modern times, they didn’t know how to plant fertilizers without them.
It is precisely because of this that he became more determined and did not spend money to buy "golden juice" for the sake of the imperial capital.
"Since that's the case, then let's ferment it yourself. If you remember correctly, the pond mud and the silt at the bottom of the river are also good fertilizer."
After saying that, he called everyone over and started assigning tasks.
I still have to pick up cow dung and sheep dung.
The weeds are going to be cut and chopped.
The ground will not be hoed for the time being, and the ash will not be burned for the time being.
He personally led the extra people to go into the water, touched the clam shell, touched the screws, and dug river mud.
Lao Zhang said that bones, clam shells, etc. are the best fertilizers after burning and grinding them into powder.
In fact, from the perspective of modern chemistry, it is indeed a good fertilizer.
That snail shell is naturally the case.
Then, what about the clam meat and the screw meat?
Is it a good fertilizer?
I remember that when I was a child, there were many of these things when pesticides and fertilizers were not used in large quantities. Any wide ditch would be as dense as you step on it. It could be packed with snake skin bags for more than ten meters.
There is no reason why the Tang Dynasty, which was more than a thousand years ago, did not have it.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
