Bai Puting thought that the chief had talked to them and it was settled, but he didn't expect that he would come over in person. ▲∴ He had never entertained a "big official" like a senator before, so he couldn't help but panic. He hurried back to the hall.
, asked his wife to take out the guests’ clothes, and repeatedly asked his eldest daughter to push the chickens into the cages and sweep the yard.
While he was busy, Liu Yuanhu brought tea. This tea was unusual. It was "Limu Mountain Oolong" bought from the county. It is said that this tea is the favorite of the chiefs. Fan Twelve bought it specially to entertain
It was used by cadres who came to the countryside. Unexpectedly, it came in handy.
Han Daoguo frowned and said: "Wonhu, I told you to look at that old guy, what are you doing here! What if that old guy runs out?"
Liu Yuanhu said: "The village chief asked me to send this! I will go back right now!"
"Go, go, watch carefully!" Han Daoguo was afraid that the old lady Cao would "stop the sedan chair and complain", which would be very ugly. If the chief wanted to become the "Qingtian Grand Master", it would be even worse.
Liu Yuanhu ran away in a hurry. Yun Suji had already entered. Seeing that the courtyard was clean and Bai Puting was dressed neatly, he said: "You are too careful, there is no need to be like this."
."
Bai Puting bowed and said, "When the chief comes to my house, it's because of the virtues accumulated by my ancestors. This...this...is full of brilliance!"
Yun Suji was amused by him: "I didn't expect you knew idioms!"
"Yes, yes, I went to private school for several years when I was a child."
Yun Suji looked at the yard of this "grain farmer" and found that it was indeed different from other families!
As for the courtyard, it is actually not too big. Standard villages are all built according to several drawings. The houses are similar in area, structure and style. The only difference is that the houses are divided into three types: large, medium and small according to the number of people in each household. White
Because of the large population, the home was assigned to the largest type, with a homestead area of approximately 150 square meters.
The residential courtyard walls in Standard Village are neither bricks nor wooden boards, but hedges composed of fast-growing shrubs. In two or three years, they have grown as tall as a person. These shrubs are carefully selected and pruned branches.
Make firewood.
The courtyard is not big and the design is very compact. There are five or six houses in a row facing north and south in the middle of the courtyard. They are all brick houses with bright glass windows. There is no wing room in the front yard. In the middle of the yard is
There is a corridor paved with gravel, and the open space on both sides has been opened up into a garden. One side is larger and a variety of vegetables are planted, and the other side is only piled up in ridges of soil. Yun Suji knows that this is an earthworm bed, and it is specially designed for earthworms.
Used to raise earthworms.
The corridor in the middle was also not wasted. Pillars were erected on both sides of the road, and bamboo poles were used to set up a shade scaffolding above the corridor, and loofahs were planted. Wooden boards and bricks were used to make stepped three-story flower stands on both sides of the road.
, there are many flowerpots with honeysuckle, jasmine and daylily planted there.
Yun Suji visited more than a dozen households in this model village, but he had never seen one whose courtyard was so carefully cared for. Although the layout and planting of the courtyard were obviously guided by the Tiandihui, the owner of the household would not have taken such careful care of it.
There will never be such a prosperous situation.
In front of the main house, there is a small open space paved with bricks and stones. There is a small low table of white stubble wood and a few bamboo chairs. They are all washed clean and make people feel comfortable. Yun Suji nodded:
"Okay. It's really well done!" He saw there was a well circle under the eaves, and went to take a look with interest. It turned out that this was not a well, but a water cellar, and the rainwater collected by the rain gutters under the eaves was drained.
Enter here.
Yun Suji praised: "Okay, this is a good method. It will be much more convenient to have a water cellar to water the garden. Why don't other families have it?"
Fan Twelve quickly said: "This is Lao Bai's own doing. It's not worthy of building a house."
Yun Suji nodded and asked again: "It probably cost a lot of money." To build a water cellar requires cement, which only Tiandihui can provide, and the cost will not be low.
When Bai Puting heard the chief asking about money, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and said vaguely: "A lot, a lot."
Fortunately, the chief didn't ask any more questions. Bai Puting asked him to sit in the main room. Yun Suji waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you have a backyard here. Let's go to the backyard and have a look."
Bai Puting originally thought that the chief would just sit down and talk, but he didn't expect to see him in such detail. He couldn't refuse, so he had to go around the yard with Yun Suji.
The backyard is smaller than the front yard. There are a few toona trees, jujube trees and other trees sparsely planted along the fence. On one side is a chicken coop surrounded by a bamboo fence. The fence is covered with pumpkin vines. On the other side
It was a cattle shed. It was the first time that Yun Suji saw a farmer raising cattle in the village, so he walked a few steps over to take a look.
The cowshed is built in compliance with the standards, and no materials are spared. There are two Simmental cattle, one large and one small, and a cross between local cattle. Simmental cattle are multi-purpose cattle that can be used for meat, milk, and draft. They are mixed with local cattle.
Cattle hybrids are the focus of Tiandihui's promotion. However, due to the small quantity and high price, ordinary farmers rarely raise them. Many people still buy buffaloes from Li District that are strong in breeding and can tolerate rough feeding.
Because it was winter and the temperature was low, the cows were all covered in straw coats and were chewing feed slowly.
Yun Suji came over and took a closer look: the cow's fur was smooth and its muscles were strong. It must have been taken care of very carefully. He picked up the feed in the feed trough and smelled it with his nose. There was a sour smell of grass.
He put the feed down and asked, "Did you use silage?"
"Yes, yes, the agricultural technicians from Tiandihui taught me how to do it. The cows like to eat it and are fat."
"What's the silage made of?"
"Weeds were beaten on the wasteland, red flowers and grasses planted in the ground, aquatic plants fished out of the river, and straw for grains. It just takes a lot of labor..." Bai Puting said with a bit of regret, "The space here is too small.
Well, the silage cellar cannot be dug very big, and the cowshed can only be so big, and it is still worthwhile without raising three or four cows."
"If you raise more cattle, you can use the big farm machinery you want."
"These are not the only benefits," Bai Puting said with enthusiasm when talking about the production. "The cow dung alone will produce a lot more. When it is cooked, you first raise earthworms in the earthworm field and then raise them.
It’s good fertilizer when it’s in the ground, so you can raise chickens and get a lot more grain!” He shook his head again, “It’s a pity there’s no room!”
Yun Suji also saw that his family's silage cellar and biogas tank were used for retting. The Bai family's investment in farming was really not small! However, it could also be seen from the side that the income of this family's farming was much higher.
Back in the front yard, Bai Puting wanted to let him in. Yun Suji said, "I think you can sit here." Then he pulled a chair under the gourd stand and sat down. "It's ventilated and bright.
It’s so refreshing to talk!”
Fan Twelve and Bai Puting were polite for a few times and sat down. The eldest daughter of the Bai family brought tea. Yun Suji saw that in front of him was a fine porcelain tureen, and it also exuded the aroma of oolong tea. He knew it was
Treating himself as a guest, he said: "What are you doing with this again?" Then he pushed the tureen in front of him away, picked up a coarse porcelain teacup, poured a bowl from the teapot, and took a sip, but it was wild jujube.
Leaf tea. He smiled and said: "This tea is good. It is refreshing and improves eyesight."
Everyone also followed suit and said: "Good tea".
Yun Suji said: "Old Bai, I think you have a good way of serving the crops. You are also good at it in your hometown, right? You are probably a grain farmer?"
Speaking of the past, Bai Puting couldn't help but sigh and said: "I can't put it into words. There are hundreds of acres of land in my hometown. Although there is a lot of land, the farming land is far inferior to that here. It started to grow from my great-grandfather, and he dug into the soil for generations.
To accumulate a starting point for a family fortune, even if you say you are a grain farmer, it is actually very tight! If the weather is good, you can only get a hundred or so kilograms from one acre of land, how can it be compared to here!"
"Your family's courtyard economy is very good. I have been to a model farm, and their courtyard economy is nothing more than this." Yun Suji praised, "If every household can do this, it will be a well-deserved No. 1 in the county."
A model village!”
Fan Twelve smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when Bai Puting said: "This is all done with the help of the Heaven and Earth Society. How else would I, a farmer, know so many tricks! Just talk about silage for feeding cattle. In my hometown,
Not to mention that some people know it, no one has even heard of it - raising cattle for food does not mean eating grass when there is grass and eating hay when there is no grass? Who would have thought that you can save grass and feed it, and cows still like to eat it!
Zhang Daozhang is right: the leaders are really living gods who know everything about the world!"
"Are there many people like you in your village who pay for guidance from the Heaven and Earth Society?"
"Not much," Bai Puting said, "most people can't afford the money - secondly, there will be loans from heaven and earth, and I was the one who took out the loan in the first place. But everyone is unwilling to borrow, for fear of losing money if they don't pay back.
Many families here were originally tenant farmers and had no land of their own, but the chief finally gave them land, and they all looked at it like they were top-notch people."
"You are still brave and enterprising."
"I'm not very courageous, so I just thought that Lao He had a lot of potential in farming like he used to do?" Bai Puting felt that Chief Yun's speech was very practical, and he spoke the words of farmers, so he couldn't help but talk more, "When everyone went there
When I visited Tiandihui's demonstration farm in the county, I thought that Tiandihui is also a human being, and I am also a human being, so why can't I do what other people can do? When Tiandihui promoted agricultural loans, everyone was afraid of incurring debt and not paying it back.
I have another thought: The leaders worked so hard to rescue us from the ice and snow, gave us food and clothing, and then sent us to Hainan Island to build houses and divide the land. What are they trying to do to trick us? You always say yes
No?"
Yun Suji smiled and said: "Yes, yes." He thought to himself that it was no wonder that this man became a landlord in his hometown, and then became a big owner here, and his mind was a bit higher than that of ordinary farmers. He asked again: "You still owe Tiandi
Do you know how to get agricultural loans?”
"It will be paid off this summer." Bai Puting said enthusiastically, "If it weren't for this progressive tax, I would like to take another loan and open dozens of acres of wasteland!" (To be continued...)
