Bai Anyi looked at the terraced fields in front of him with anticipation in his eyes. He would sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand tons of grain in autumn. He looked forward to a good harvest more than anyone else.
"Didn't our family save rice seeds last year? We just don't need to buy any."
Hearing Bai Anyan's reminder, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he was cleaning the room, there was indeed half a bag of seeds with chaff.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. I will take it out later. It will be time to raise seedlings in a few days."
Listening to his mother's tone, Bai Anyan was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. Shennong's planting manual was given to him by his mother, and he must have read it before giving it to him.
He has been farming since he was a child. If he hadn't read Shen Nong's planting manual, he wouldn't have known that there was such a thing as advance seeding of rice.
So far, people here have been following ancient methods of farming and sowing seeds.
Seeing the expression on the second child's face, Bai Yunxi was also stunned. He suddenly remembered the sowing method during this period, and realized that he was talking nonsense.
"Although it is good to follow the ancient methods of planting, if there is a way to raise seedlings, we might as well give it a try. With Shennong's planting manual as a reference, there will be no problems."
"Mom is right. There is a record in the manual that says that raising seedlings in advance and then transplanting them has a higher survival rate than broadcasting, and the yield is higher in the later stage than broadcasting. We must not miss such a good method."
It was okay if there was no manual before. Now that there is a manual, if he doesn't use it, he would be a fool.
Seeing the second child's eagerness to try, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
"You are right. We have a solution in our hands, so there is no need to be too regretful. I am very happy that you have such courage."
"Hehe...it's better to have the manual given by my mother, otherwise, it will be useless for my son to think hard."
After the mother and son discussed the issue of sowing, Baiyunxi went home directly, took out the seeds stored in the cabinet, and looked at the well-preserved rice, which weighed about twenty kilograms.
Thinking about the several acres of paddy fields the original owner had, these seeds were enough.
The old method of broadcasting has a low germination rate and wastes rice seeds. However, broadcasting is different from transplanting. One acre of land requires about five kilograms.
If you choose the seedling transplanting method, only one kilogram of seeds is enough for one acre of rice field.
Thinking of this, Baiyunxi opened the exchange mall. I wonder if there are any rice seeds that can be exchanged?
Sure enough, the system was very user-friendly. When she opened it, the rice seed redemption window in the redemption mall automatically lit up.
Ten points can be exchanged for fifty pounds of rice seeds.
Produced in the mall, Baiyunxi didn't worry about the germination rate of the seeds at all, and directly exchanged fifty kilograms of seeds and put them in the cupboard.
Ten acres of sloping land in Xishan is enough.
Thinking of the second son who also needs to sow spring wheat, the 18 acres of land on the east hillside are sown with spring wheat. Calculating 15 kilograms of seeds per acre, the 18 acres will require nearly 300 kilograms.
Excluding the three bags of fertilizer and one bag of rice seeds she had just redeemed, she only had sixty points left.
Baiyunxi gritted his teeth and bought six more bags of spring wheat seeds, which was exactly 300 kilograms. All the points were used up.
Looking at the grains in the locker, Baiyunxi took a breath and realized, no points, and he became a pauper again.
The willow trees are sprouting, and wild vegetables are in season. Women who are idle at home will go out to dig wild vegetables to add to the family.
Even Mrs. Du couldn't sit still. After discussing with her sister-in-law, the two of them went to the hillside to dig wild vegetables together with Yaya and the dog, carrying a basket.
