During this period of time, the three brothers of the Zhou family dug up about 9.5 kilograms of earthworms for themselves. In addition to the earthworms they sold to themselves last time, they still have a balance of 2 or 3 taels.
So in the end, Luo Xuan settled 10 candies for them.
Previously, the three brothers of the Zhou family could dig up 4 or 5 kilograms of earthworms a day.
But that big garbage pit has been dug by them for several days, so it is not that easy to dig out so many earthworms now.
Recently.
Although the three brothers of the Zhou family did not dig up many earthworms, they were not idle either.
In the past few days, Boss Zhou has been running around to spread the word to himself: Luo Xuan of Production Team 6 is harvesting eels!
Moreover, Luo Xuan also needs to buy some turtles and come back to treat his "rake disease".
Since Boss Zhou was willing to work hard, Luo Xuan rewarded him with an extra candy.
Moreover, Luo Xuan repeatedly told Boss Zhou: From now on, never go out and say that you are buying eels and turtles.
Instead, use sweet potato vermicelli instead of eel and soft-shelled turtle!
Finished instructing the three brothers on this very important matter.
Luo Xuan also asked them to go to Hongxing Township early tomorrow morning.
The three brothers will go separately to the non-staple food store of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some starch for themselves.
Luo Xuan planned to exchange only vermicelli and sugar for eels, turtles, and earthworms in the future.
Stick to bartering.
Then control the size of the exchange so that you don't get into big trouble.
Watching the three brothers leave, Luo Xuan carried the earthworm and eel into the space and started working.
As for the things he ordered them to do for him, Luo Xuan was quite relieved.
Don't underestimate Boss Zhou's active energy.
As long as he is willing to make some concessions, the kid kings from several nearby production teams will help him.
The price that Boss Zhou paid was: a bamboo forest at the junction of the two production teams, which Boss Zhou graciously gave up.
Give this piece of land to the other party and allow them to go inside to catch bamboo shoot worms and dig out bamboo maggots.
Boss Zhou was very shrewd in exchanging his own territory for real benefits.
However, his work efficiency is indeed very high, saving himself a lot of time and energy.
Take this time as an example: Although I have not been at home these days, Boss Zhou's publicity has been quite effective.
There were two people from the Zhengxing brigade who brought 5 small turtles to themselves.
As for money, they said, "This thing isn't worth anything anyway, let's talk about it later."
It is estimated that in their hearts, they have no intention of asking themselves for money.
In addition, there were two people from Production Team 5 and 8 who also loved eels, and they each brought more than 5 kilograms of eels of various sizes to Luo Xuan.
The eels sent by the two of them totaled 11 kilograms.
However, Luo Xuan was not at home at the time and no one could pay for him, so the two people put down the eel and left.
They just waited for Luo Xuan to come back and settle the bill with Luo Xuan on a convenient day.
Inside the production team.
Everyone has a debt of a few dollars that lasts for several years. Everyone believes in the creed that "a debtor will never die until a man dies".
Moreover, each production team will settle their work points at the end of the year.
If you encounter someone who is not happy to repay the debt, the creditor can also go to the production team to find the accountant or production team leader for help, and the production team will come forward to help deduct the debt.
Therefore, those two people were not afraid that Luo Xuan would default on his debt.
Now, the three brothers of the Zhou family have gone home, and Luo Xuan started to get busy in the space.
Put aside the pythons, scorpions, and angler fish first.
First throw a few sweet potatoes and a handful of corn kernels to the little rabbits and let them eat them by themselves.
Luo Xuan threw some more earthworms on the ground, planning to increase the scale of earthworm cultivation in some spaces.
Then I fed some earthworms to the chickens, and then threw them to a lot of eels and soft-shell turtles.
Luo Xuan put most of the remaining earthworms into an empty pottery jar and raised them temporarily.
After taking care of the chicks, rabbits, turtles and eels.
Luo Xuan turned around and looked at the crops in the field.
The corn seedlings transplanted previously had turned from bright yellow with a touch of emerald green to dark green, and they had grown a lot taller overnight.
As for the rice seeds, they are now taller than a chopstick. If they are not transplanted, it will be too late.
Luo Xuan planned to turn this batch of rice into something similar to the upland rice sown on the hillside in Laos in Southeast Asia.
Because my energy is limited, if I plan to transform the space into a rice field, it will undoubtedly be a huge project.
Obviously I can't do this yet.
After planning the subsequent farm work in his mind, Luo Xuan rolled up his sleeves and started transplanting the seedlings.
This time, Luo Xuan wanted to try planting upland rice at a high density.
When the seedlings grow bigger, if they feel too dense, Luo Xuan plans to thin out the seedlings again.
When other people grow upland rice, they scatter the seeds into the ground, and then they leave it to fate and rely on the sky for food.
However, with the Luoxuan method of raising seedlings, the seedlings grow very strong and cannot be planted as extensively as sowing upland rice seeds.
If you have no choice, you can only start transplanting two or three at most.
Fortunately, the soil in the space is very fluffy, and you can easily fix the seedlings in the soil by holding the bottom of the seedlings with three fingers.
Work for a while, rest for a while.
When he was really tired, Luo Xuan cooked some mushroom soup in the space, simmered some rice in a casserole, and scooped a big spoonful of fried pork into it.
One meat, one vegetable, one vegetable and one soup is ready.
After eating, rest for a while, and then continue working.
What flows down is sweat, and what is sown is hope. Luo Xuan is in a happy mood, and the more he works, the more energetic he becomes!
When the seedlings were transplanted, Luo Xuan used the pair of small buckets Dai Hongmei gave him to water each seedling with spring water. It was considered done!
After Luo Xuan finished all this, he turned back and calculated the area in the space.
The corn seedlings planted last time probably took up 1/3 of the space, which is about 200 square meters.
The remaining land was planted into rice by Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan made a rough estimate in his mind. In the 200 square meters of land, he might have planted more than 2,500 corn seedlings last time.
The reason why they were planted so intensively was because Luo Xuan considered that the corn seeds of this period had not been genetically improved.
The corn seeds I bought were not the early hybrid varieties that only appeared in the 1960s.
This kind of corn can be planted by yourself.
But at the same time, its output is not too high.
According to the medium-fertility land in the production team outside, there are about 2,000 corn plants in one acre of land.
However, because the yield is so low, the members have worked hard for a year and can only harvest about 200 kilograms of grain from one acre of corn field.
It's just that Luo Xuan feels that his own space is very magical, and he cannot calculate production based on the soil power of the outside world.
If there is room for acceleration and there is spring water for irrigation, the yield of corn can be much higher than outside, right?
If calculated based on the yield of improved corn varieties in later generations.
From these approximately 2,500 corn plants, I should be able to harvest at least 900 kilograms of grain.
In later generations, the yield of corn per mu was roughly 1,000 kilograms, and the highest yield could even reach about 1,500 kilograms per mu.
If the dense planting adopted by Luo Xuan this time is successful, three points of land in the space will be able to harvest almost as much corn as one acre of land in later generations.
With the coarse grains available, the feed for the little rabbits and chickens is guaranteed.
This means that the problem of eating meat will be completely solved in the future.
But the problem of my own food rations is actually not that urgent.
Now I can get some money back by selling mushrooms and selling eels.
As long as you have money in your pocket, you can go to the frog market and buy fine grains such as rice and white flour.
Luo Xuan planned to buy all the fine grains he would eat in the market.
As for the food harvested in the space and the rations given to us by the production team, we need to save them first.
If you have food in your hands, you won't panic in your heart.
[About sweet potatoes: Chapter 43 has a revised chapter on planting sweet potatoes, Chapter 73 has a description of the growth of sweet potatoes, and Chapter 75 has a record of harvesting sweet potatoes.]
