Chapter 119 Tasting the Fertilizer
"Just fertilize first, and I'll go prepare the seeds."
Winter wheat is harvested earlier than spring wheat, so the freed-up time will not delay autumn sowing. If possible, we can consider intercropping at that time. According to the habits of crops, if we use them well, we can harvest three crops a year.
Listening to his mother's solemn tone, Bai Anyan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll carry fertilizer to the fields tomorrow."
When it comes to farm work, Bai Anyan is not vague at all. He found a piece of cloth to cover his nose and carried fertilizer to the fields one by one. It was all farmyard manure with soup. Even if the skills were poor, they could win the bid.
Bai Yunxi looked at the hard-working appearance of the second child, and took the opportunity to give the two children a bowl of flavorful chicken soup.
The fourth and fifth children watched the second brother carrying fertilizer back and forth. The mountains were not easy to walk, and the carts could not be used. They could only carry it with a shoulder pole. Just thinking about it made them tired.
Let alone carrying manure, they couldn't help retching when they got closer.
In the past, all these tasks fell on the second brother and his wife, and they never cared about it. Now thinking about it, it's really shameful.
Bai Yunxi looked at the expressions of the two and stopped talking. She went into the house to find a cloth bag and divided half a bag of fertilizer. The next morning, she went to the field with the second son and spread it with the farmyard manure.
Then turn the soil, rake it again, and level it. After two or three days, it can be sown.
"Mom, what are you spreading?" Bai Anyan watched his mother carrying a bag and spreading it in the field. The white particles were a bit pungent, something he had never seen before.
"Of course it's a good thing."
This is a technological work, a good thing that guarantees high yield.
After spreading half a bag of fertilizer, Bai Yunxi wiped her hands.
"I'll tell you when I see the results later."
After getting to know each other for these days, the second son is diligent and doesn't talk much. As long as she puts on the airs of a parent, this son is particularly obedient.
Sure enough, when Bai Yunxi said this, Bai Anyan pinched a white particle, looked at it, smelled it, threw it on the ground, and continued to turn the soil.
‘As long as it can increase the yield of grain, what mother says is what it is.’
Listening to the second son’s voice, Bai Yunxi smacked her lips. How could such a good son, who worked hard and was obedient, not be in the eyes of the original owner?
“Mother will go back first. I will ask the fourth and fifth children to bring lunch. You can eat and turn the soil together. It will be faster.”
Bai Yunxi stood at the edge of the field, looking at the mountains and forests not far away. After the fall, the wild fruits in the mountains and forests are ripe. She and Li will go into the mountains to try their luck.
“Hey~, mother, go slowly on the way.”
Bai Anyan wiped the sweat from his head and watched his mother leave with the basket on her back. He lowered his head to pick up a white fertilizer and licked it. His face twisted. What is this thing? It tastes so bitter.
When Bai Yunxi turned around, he happened to see his stupid behavior and laughed out loud.
"Haha...silly child, no matter how good it looks, it's just fertilizer for the fields. It's impossible for it to taste good."
Fertilizers come in two types, one is like white sugar, and the other is like millet grains, both of which have a taste of technology.
Bai Anyan: "..."
'It's so embarrassing, how did my mother see it? '
"When the right opportunity comes, my mother will tell you not to eat it anymore, it's easy to have diarrhea."
With a loud laugh, Bai Yunxi walked home with the basket on his back.
Bai Anyan: "..."
Although it was embarrassing, he hadn't heard his mother laugh so heartily for a long time. He must work hard to make life better at home.
