Chapter 212 Three-color peony
212 three-color peony
At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Village Chief, do you want to raise it?"
At this time, Leizi, the eldest son of the village, raised his hand and said, "Yes, our eldest son has already signed up."
Hearing this, many people couldn't help but look at each other, somewhat understanding in their hearts.
The situation has been explained, and after the village chief announced the dispersal, the villagers returned home one after another.
After some people returned home, the whole family sat around and discussed.
Then Mrs. Zheng, her mouth is poisonous, and while she speaks bad things about Zhao Dong, she also thinks about making money in her heart.
After she came home, her thoughts came alive, and she began to ask around how many people were planning to raise pigs.
After waiting for three days, in addition to the fifteen households that had been confirmed before, another five or six households came one after another, looking for Zhao Dong to sign up.
Although it does not reach half of the village, there are already 21 households, which is quite a lot. After all, in some small villages, there are only about twenty households in a village.
After the decision was made, Zhao Dong took several villagers to select pig breeds.
As for where there are good pigs, Butcher Zhao knows best, so he took a few villagers to three or four villages, and then to the county town. All are confirmed.
Zhao Dong’s family has six pigs, two of which are going to be kept as breeding pigs for reproduction.
Butcher Zhao also ordered six pigs.
Other families have four heads or three heads, and those who are more conservative only need one head.
Next, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei gathered everyone at Zhao's house, and asked Sun Mei to tell them various techniques of raising pigs.
Because all they bought were piglets, and there was no need for neutering for the time being, Sun Mei first gave them popular science and hygiene knowledge and healthy diet.
This is to prevent diseases such as swine fever caused by raising more pigs in the future.
Sun Mei: "...especially the feces. The feces in the pigsty should be cleaned up in time to prevent infection. However, the big guys don't have to worry about the disposal of the feces. I suggest that everyone dig out the feces in their own fields after returning home. A cesspit is specially used to store pig manure and use it to make fertilizer, which can increase the yield of our crops.”
"Later, my lord will tell you how to get fat..."
At this time, someone asked: "What is retting fat?"
Zhao Dong explained: "The reason why the farmers in our fields cannot produce high yields is because the food needs insufficient nutrition. At this time, we farmers can fertilize the plants to achieve high yields."
Now those people understood, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that we would not only raise pigs, but also increase the grain production. This is really great!"
"Yeah, yeah, I suddenly felt that it was really wise for me to follow Dong to make money!"
"Isn't that right, I said earlier, Brother Dong won't harm us."
"What's more important is that raising pigs didn't delay our farming, so we asked the children in the family to sow some hogweed for the pigs on weekdays. The beans we planted would not be sold, and we would directly grind them into bean cakes and feed them to the pigs!"
The big guys were discussing the benefits of raising pigs, and everyone was very excited.
At this time, someone suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously: "Hey, by the way, Brother Dong, how do you know so much?"
Zhao Dong couldn't help laughing, fortunately he had already found an excuse, and immediately said: "This is due to my daughter's contribution."
"Didn't my daughter study with her husband? These are all my daughter saw in the book, and she read it to us when she came back."
"The book also said a lot. There are various methods of fertilization, each of which is very useful for dealers of different levels..."
Zhao Dong told everyone the method he knew how to fertilize, and the villagers who heard it were shocked.
After being surprised, there was a burst of emotion: "Don't say it, this reading is good! You can know so many useful things. Brother Dong, you must let your girl read it well!"
"Yes, yes, this reading is really a good thing! If I have the conditions in the future, I will also let my baby go to study for two days, and learn a lot!"
…
At this moment, Zhao Zhitong, who was planting peonies with his uncle, sneezed twice in the field.
Sun Youcai immediately raised his head and looked over: "Is Tongtong cold? Don't catch a cold."
Zhao Zhitong shook his head and shouted loudly: "No way, I'm in good health. I must be sneezing because my father and mother missed me, hehe."
At this time, Sun Daqing said in a hurry: "Little cousin, you hit me twice, my mother said, hit once because someone missed you, hit you twice because someone scolded you, hit you three times because you caught a cold, so, It's not that someone misses you, but someone is scolding you, hahaha."
Zhao Zhitong pouted immediately, glared dissatisfiedly, and shouted: "No, no, it's just that someone is thinking about me."
…
Then, a few little guys started arguing in the field, and at the end of the quarreling, they started running and fighting in the field.
Sun Youcai had just hoed the ground, looking at the footprints in the field, he jumped three feet high angrily, and shouted at the little radish heads: "You little monkeys, give me all of them!" Get out, next time I won't take you with me!"
Zhao Zhitong: "Oh, come on, little uncle, let us plant peonies for you, without us, you are so boring."
Sun Daqing also nodded again and again: "Yes, we are here to help."
Sun Youcai snorted and said, "You can get it, and you can still help, which is almost a disservice."
Zhao Zhitong put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "If I don't come today, how can we cultivate three-color peonies?"
Sun Youcai was very skeptical: "What do you say about the three-color peony, is it reliable or not?"
Zhao Zhitong said confidently: "If it's reliable, we'll follow what's written in the book, and it will definitely work."
Sun Youcai shrugged and said, "Okay, anyway, no tax is collected for the first two years of land reclamation, so I will treat it as playing with you."
At this moment, Zhao Zhitong has already brought out the book.
She said in a childish voice: "Little uncle, the book says that peonies are grafted every year from May to July, or from September to October. What month is it now?"
Sun Youcai didn't know what grafting meant. Third, it was said in the book, and everything in the book was esoteric, so he didn't ask much.
Hearing Zhao Zhitong ask what month it is, he thought for a while and thought: "It's April now, let's wait for next month, next month will be May"
Zhao Zhitong was not in a hurry, patted his small chest, and said confidently: "Then let's plant the peonies first, and we will graft them next month, and we will definitely be able to grow three-color peonies!"
Sun Daji stared at the picture drawn in the book: "Wow, the flowers in this book are so beautiful, they are colorful. There are really three-color peonies!"
Sun Xiaoxue: "Ah, so beautiful, this is the most beautiful flower I have ever seen."
Sun Xiaoyu nodded like a pest: "Yeah."
Sun Daqing squeezed inside excitedly: "Let me take a look, let me take a look, wow, really, it's so beautiful, it must be worth a lot."
Zhao Zhitong nodded triumphantly: "That is, we will get rich by then!"
