When school was over at noon, Shen Changlin quietly told Shen Chi about this matter, but Shen Chi frowned slightly: "It's only 20,000."
He was still too young. Shen Changlin couldn't help but roll his eyes at this brat's son.
To be honest, the price did not meet Shen Chi's expectations, but when I thought about it, 20,000 was just 20,000. It was better than nothing.
Didn’t the letter say that it would be published later? If it was published, there would be royalties to be collected, so he agreed to the deal and took out the final manuscript and gave it to Shen Changlin, asking him to take the time to go to the post office to mail the manuscript. .
Shen Changlin went to withdraw the money in the afternoon and deposited it directly into the credit union in the town.
During this period, Shen Chi was focused on preparing for the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition for Primary School Students. Until the competition was only three days away, he and Teacher Duan set off early.
Having participated in the competition once before, Shen Chi was already familiar with all the procedures. There were no accidents in the competition. He answered the questions smoothly and all that was left was to go back and wait for the results.
Teacher Duan has absolute confidence in Shen Chi. Since participating in the Mathematical Olympiad last year, Shen Chi has never won second place in any competition. This time, he didn’t ask any questions and took Shen Chi back to school. Just wait for the results of the game with peace of mind.
No longer needing to prepare for the Mathematical Olympiad, Shen Chi had plenty of time to make up for Sun Tao's recess from time to time. When he got home from school, he would go into the orchard to take care of his medicinal materials.
Needless to say, salvia is my source of income, and it is essential to promote fertility every day.
The newly planted polygonatum and polygonum multiflorum are used to exchange spiritual energy, and they need to be regenerated frequently. As a result, those fruit trees can only be regenerated once every ten days and a half.
Even so, the growth of those fruit trees is still very gratifying. It seems that Shen Changlin has been pouring spiritual fertilizer regularly. According to this momentum, the fruit trees will be able to bear fruit next year.
Shen Changlin was more concerned about this orchard than Shen Chi. As soon as Shen Chi entered the garden, he saw that his father had already cut a load of alfalfa and was feeding the chickens.
After feeding the chickens, I started to use a manure scoop to scoop out the residue in the retting pond.
"Dad, let me help you." Shen Chi said and took the manure spoon from Shen Changlin's hand.
"Have you finished all your homework?" Shen Changlin asked.
"It's done a long time ago." Shen Chi said, then he put the manure spoon into the pond to fish out the fermented residue such as bones, medicinal residues, etc., so that it could be fermented when adding new materials.
Shen Changlin used thick iron wire to burn many holes in it, specifically for filtering liquid.
At this time, Shen Changlin had already filled two baskets. Hearing this, without saying anything more, he picked up the two baskets of residue and walked towards the two acres of ginseng garden he had opened.
Although most of the fertility of these residues has been fermented, the remaining fertility buried in the soil can still play a role in fertilizing the fields, and after decay, it can also improve the soil quality and make the soil soft.
Shen Chi continued to collect the residue and piled it next to the pond. After Shen Chi had buried the residue, he came to the pond again, shoveled the residue that Shen Chi had collected into the basket, and then found a manure spoon with burnt holes and picked it up. , the father and son were chatting while fishing, when Yuan Jiaowu and Yuan Jiaotian from the village found themselves in the orchard.
"Teach Uncle Wu, teach Uncle Tian." Seeing the two of them, Shen Chi hurriedly greeted them.
"Hey, Xiao Chi is also helping with the work. Your Xiao Chi is still more capable, smart and diligent in reading, and my boy is completely incomparable." Yuan Jiaotian praised Shen Chi.
Shen Changlin smiled, took over the conversation and said, "It's true that this child doesn't make people worry. By the way, what's the matter with you coming?"
"I really want to ask you something. Aren't we selling clothes here, Sister Aizhi? I can't take care of the work in the fields. I can't see that the salvia you planted this year is selling at a good price, so I came here. I would like to ask you for some advice on planting methods." When Yuan Jiaowu saw Shen Changlin asking about it, he answered straight to the point.
These days, many people have asked Shen Changlin for advice on growing salvia. Shen Changlin had some time to summarize his planting experience. When he saw the two people asking about it, he started chatting with them again.
"Is there anything particular about fertilization?" Yuan Jiaowu and the others listened attentively. After Shen Changlin finished speaking, they asked about fertilizer.
When it came to fertilizer, Shen Changlin talked eloquently again. At this time, Yuan Jiaotian glanced at the retting pond at his feet and asked Shen Changlin curiously: "Your fertilizer seems to be a little different from ordinary farmyard fertilizer." .”
"This fertilizer is prepared according to the recipe recorded in the ancient book given by Teacher Xiaochi. You don't know that crops, like humans, need herbs to supplement them." Shen Changlin replied.
At this time, the residue in the retting tank has been removed, and what is left is a thick liquid that looks a bit like a dark green starch paste.
"Are there any prescriptions? What do you need?" Yuan Jiaowu immediately asked humbly.
"There are many things recorded in the prescription, such as grinding the bones of various animals, as well as tortoise shells, shells and the internal organs of various animals.
By the way, the most important thing is to make a decoction of more than a dozen Chinese herbal medicines such as long bone grass, astragalus and so on, and then pour the above mentioned things into the pond to ferment for three months." Shen Changlin didn't hide it.
Shen Chi listened on the sidelines and interrupted his father: "Dad, this medicinal fertilizer is the formula in Teacher Huang's ancient book. You can't tell others easily."
When he said this, both Yuan Jiaotian and Yuan Jiaowu became a little embarrassed.
This decoction is just used by Shen Chi to cover up the spiritual fertilizer in the system. The main reason why his fertilizer is so effective is that the twenty-one kilograms of spiritual fertilizer produced by the retting pond every day is diluted into the pond. In fact, he is not afraid that his father will Fang Zi told these people that the reason for stopping him was just to add a sense of mystery and convincingness to his spiritual fat.
"Is this how you prepare your agricultural fertilizer?" Yuan Jiaowu asked.
Shen Changlin stopped talking about the formula of medicinal fertilizers, and Yuan Jiaotian and his two men asked some questions about planting. They did not leave until Hu called the father and son to eat.
Driven by the Shen Chi family, Yuanjia Village set off a craze for growing salvia miltiorrhiza. Suddenly, there was an endless stream of people asking Shen Changlin for advice, which gave Shen Changlin a great sense of accomplishment.
The people in Yuanjia Village were busy doing business last year, and they mainly grew vegetables that were easy to take care of. But they planted too much and couldn't eat it all, so they accumulated it at home for a while.
Since there are many people working in Shen Chi's family, in order to save time, they even eat at his house at noon, so they need more vegetables. In addition, the pigs and chickens need feed, and the villagers are suddenly overstocked in the city. Shen Chi's family can consume most of the dishes in it.
Shen Changlin also had a handrail, and sometimes when he had collected too much, he would drag it to the vegetable market for wholesale. As a result, there were many requests for help from Shen Chi's family, and even those who rarely interacted with Shen Chi's family often came. Looking for Shen Changlin is quite a way to please him.
The demand for feed for the livestock at home has increased, and Gui Shuzhen has to feed dozens of people, and there are not enough manpower. Shen Changlin did not plant early rice this year, but planted a season of bamboo leaf vegetables, which can be maintained with alfalfa. The daily consumption of the pigs and chickens raised.
