Ten cents per load? The yellow clay used for building houses costs five cents per load, and the waste that can be used to raise pigs only costs ten cents per load? Wan Yuanwai looked at Ma Hanshan in disbelief. Ma Hanshan gave him a positive smile,
His eyes were a little misty.
Wan Yuanwai was moved, but soon he figured out that this was Ma Hanshan's reward for him in disguise.
Oh, good man, this big boy village leader is definitely a good man. Wan Yuanwai was sighing in his heart. Suddenly, a little old man who looked like an old farmer walked up from the field base. He walked very fast. As he approached, he actually brought a strange sound.
The smell of the breeze.
"Disciple is planting grain to meet the teacher." The little old man who came in a hurry saluted Ma Hanshan. It turned out to be a great gift for master and disciple. Wan Yuanwai's misty eyes almost fell out, and he almost staggered when he trembled.
The child fell to the ground.
Disciple? Teacher? Oh my God, are the people in Wagong Village all lunatics? Is the owner of Ma Village a monster? Animals are raised in pens. A two-hundred-jin pig doesn’t even last two hundred days. It has weird-looking hair that is neither fish nor fowl.
The clothes...a little old man of several decades actually...actually called a teenage boy teacher?
"Growing food, my teacher has always taught you that you should pay attention to your appearance and appearance. No matter what happens, you must maintain your appearance at all times. Do you think you have manners? Do you have an image? How many days have you not changed these clothes? Throw them away.
The river can poison all the fish in the river." Ma Hanshan sternly reprimanded Chen Zhongliang with his hands behind his back.
Well, after Chen Bonong came to Wagangzhai, he felt that calling himself Bonong was simply surpassing his master. His humble knowledge was not worthy of being called Bonong. He was a grain grower, so he changed his name to grain grower. Chen Bonong
He likes the surname "Growing Grain" very much. His ideal is to grow good grain.
"Yes, I will remember Master's teachings," Chen Zhongliang said while standing at attention and bowing his head.
"Hmph, you do this every time I reprimand you, but you never change. It's really disappointing to my teacher." Ma Hanshan accepted three disciples, and the biggest headache was Chen Zhongliang. Not only were there many problems, but the most annoying thing was that this uncle's
Personal hygiene is really scary.
In fact, most people at the bottom of this world are like this. They always have one meal before the next, and who has time to take a shower or change clothes? Besides, many people don’t have that many clothes to change.
"Teacher, I will definitely change, I swear I will change..." Seeing that Ma Hanshan was really angry, Chen Zhongliang bowed again to admit his mistake and vowed to correct it.
"Humph, let me listen first." Ma Hanshan raised his head and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."
"Teacher, I have adjusted the formula of the compound fertilizer. The No. 4 formula and the No. 5 formula have a great impact on cabbage, leeks and wheat seedlings. Among them, the wheat seedlings with the No. 4 formula... the wheat seedlings wilted after being fertilized." Chen
Planting grain is like a child who has done something wrong, lowering his head and saying.
"Absolutely, it must be that the nitrogen fertilizer has not been fully matured, or you have used too much, please take it with me to have a look." Ma Hanshan turned to look at Wan Yuanwai and said, "Wan Yuanwai, are you interested in visiting our Agricultural Research Institute?
Fertilizer testing base?”
"Fertilizer? What is it?" Of course Wan Yuanwai was interested. An old man called a teenage boy a teacher. He was very curious about what he was doing.
"Haha, fertilizer is the nutrients needed for crop growth. Since Wan Yuanwai is interested, let's go and have a look." Ma Hanshan smiled.
The reason why he invited tens of thousands of people to visit was of course not to show off, but to promote the organic mixed fertilizer made by local methods to be launched next year.
Ma Hanshan understood the role of advertising very well. The information in this world was too backward, and it was all spread by word of mouth. It was very necessary to promote it in advance.
The experimental field of the Agricultural Research Institute is located at the mouth of the valley where the sun is the sunniest and the water source is the best. One hundred acres of paddy fields and one hundred acres of dry land are all divided into plots of different sizes with signs on the edges of the fields.
Two small houses were built near the mountainside. The houses were not very well built, but they actually had strong walls.
This is where the Agricultural Research Institute conducts fertilizer and pesticide preparation tests. Of course, the only test being conducted now is on mixed fertilizers.
The concept and formula of mixed fertilizers were of course provided by Ma Hanshan. However, he really only provided a concept because he had never planted land in his previous life, and he only had a little knowledge of the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on crops.
The residual knowledge from junior high school biology class, and he had no memory at all about the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in compound fertilizers, so he could only randomly talk about a ratio for Chen Zhongliang to test.
For Chen Zhongliang, even nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were heard for the first time. Therefore, he never dared to question what Ma Hanshan said as an imperial edict. Ma Hanshan asked him to test again and again. He thought it was the teacher's test for him.
.
In an experimental field, many ridges of cabbage, leeks and winter wheat were planted. Some of these cabbages, leeks and winter wheat were growing very well, with shiny dark green leaves, but they were like dwarf varieties, growing very thin and some
They are obviously "high", but very "slender", and some are diseased and wilted... Anyone who has seen crops can tell that these vegetables and wheat seedlings are not normal.
"Teacher, this ridge of wheat seedlings, these ridges of leeks, and cabbage are treated with formula No. 4, and the three ridges here are treated with formula No. 5. The wheat seedlings with formula No. 4 seem to... seem to be failing. The crops using formula No. 5, it seems
...It seems to be growing too fast, but it feels too delicate..." Chen Zhongliang said with a grimace.
After coming to Wagangzhai, he had a deep understanding of the nutrition of plants. Now he also has a substantial understanding of the role of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It turns out that, just like people, crops can also be overstuffed or eaten to the point of being upset.
of.
The previous formulas of fertilizers No. 1, 2 and 3 either reacted too slowly or "filed" the crops, which was not ideal. The formulas No. 4 and 5 are the latest fertilizers prepared by Chen Zhongliang.
In fact, any fertilizer formula in this world is just a concept, because in this world, the accurate nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium cannot be measured at all. The so-called nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in Mahanshan are made by local methods. Nitrogen is made from steamed wine.
The distiller's grain residue is mixed with fermented soybean water and soybean cake water (ammonization) and fermented as a source of nitrogen fertilizer.
Phosphate fertilizers are plant ash and various bone powders. Potash fertilizers are genuine potassium salts, which Mahanshan sent people to transport back from the saline-alkali lakes in the Western Regions. In fact, phosphate rock that can be used as phosphate fertilizers, Guogaishan
The reserves are quite large, but there is no way to find them in Mahanshan now.
He plans to send people out to the islands to look for guano after the new year. He remembers that in the world he came to, there was an island country that specialized in producing phosphate, which is a natural high-quality phosphate fertilizer. By the way, he sent people out to the sea to see if there were potatoes in those big islands.
Yeah, sweet potatoes or something.
"Grow food. My teacher said that when doing agricultural research, whether you are studying species, seeds or soil quality, fertilizers or pesticides, you must be patient and endure loneliness. How can you not get rid of the problem of being impatient? Now ours
Nitrogen fertilizer is obtained by natural fermentation, so you have to wait until it is fermented before it can be used. Moreover, the dosage of wet and dry fertilizers is different. Look, the amount of formula No. 4 is either too large, and the crops are burned by ammonium.
Either the fermentation was not completed, and it went down to the ground to absorb water and then fermented again, burning the roots. No matter which one, these three ridge crops should be destroyed." Ma Hanshan said, pointing to the wheat seedlings with wilted leaves.
"Teacher, the leeks are not wilted." Chen Zhongliang said.
"Humph, it's not wilting today because its vitality is a little stronger than that of wheat seedlings. You can see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It must be broken. There is also formula No. 5. It seems to be growing vigorously, but it is actually too fat. In other words,
There is too little phosphorus and potassium in the formula. In this formula, did you reduce the phosphorus and potassium and increase the amount of nitrogen fertilizer?" Ma Hanshan said, pointing to the crops of formula No. 5.
"Yes, teacher, I have reduced the phosphorus and potassium by half..." Chen Zhongliang lowered his head and said.
"Growing food, as I said before, I don't have time to give you special lessons. I hope you will take note of every conversation we have, because often conversations are teaching. I have said that nitrogen fertilizer increases branches and leaves; potassium fertilizer strengthens rhizomes; phosphorus fertilizer strengthens roots and stems.
Flowers and fruits. If you add special fertilizer to some crops separately, you can widen the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Otherwise, you should adjust the ratio of phosphorus and potassium appropriately on a one-to-one basis to find the most suitable formula.
." Ma Hanshan pointed to the ridges of crops that seemed to be dwarfed but had thick stems and said, "Look, formula No. 3 is actually close to OK. It just needs to slightly reduce the potassium or add a little more nitrogen."
Let’s talk about Qixi again. What does Qixi mean? Everyone has a headache. The leader of the village always says some strange words that they don’t understand.
"Yes, teacher." Chen Zhongliang said with a red face.
"Hey, let's try it slowly. As long as the formula can be determined by the end of next year." For this kind of homework that is completely impossible to copy, Ma Hanshan has never treated it with the mentality of a time traveler.
"Yes, teacher." Seeing that Ma Hanshan was about to leave, Chen Zhongliang took a step forward and said, "Teacher, the ridge of green onions over there is growing very strangely. I don't know if it's because of the application of mixed fertilizer."
"Oh? How weird? Take me as a teacher to have a look." Ma Hanshan did not like to delve into crops, but he had just given a lecture on growing crops in front of Wan Yuanwai. His vanity was satisfied and he was in a good mood. He wanted to continue to serve as a teacher.
The mutated scallion sprouts mentioned by Chen Zhongliang are actually scallions mixed with shallots. When Mahanshan saw scallions, he thought of the sliced duck he liked to eat in his previous life. He wrapped the crispy roast duck skin in a single pancake, added a few shredded scallions, and spread some sweetness on it.
Sauce…well…that’s definitely delicious….
Probably because there is no green onion variety in this world, Chen Zhongliang feels weird.
"Haha, growing grain, there's nothing weird about these green onions." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Green onions? But this kind of onions only has stems and leaves but not heads, and...it tastes different from other onions, and it's scary and thick." Chen Zhongliang frowned and said, because he had never seen it before, so he thought it was weird.
.
"Yes, these are green onions. They are used to grow food. Pull out those small onions mixed in and breed some seeds. This is a new variety. This green onion is very popular in the north." Ma Hanshan was very happy and patted the green onions.
Chen Zhongliang said on his shoulder, "Okay, very good. Zhongliang has lived up to his expectations. He has grown new vegetables so quickly. Come on..."
Ah? Come on? Why do you need to refuel when growing onions? Is it another kind of magic fertilizer? Chen Zhongliang was at a loss.
Ma Hanshan glanced at him and quickly said, "Go hard" means to work hard. He wiped his forehead without leaving a trace, and sighed secretly, "Oh, this world doesn't have the word "Go hard" yet. What if this guy uses oil to grow green onions?
