Chapter 353
Jiang Xinyan stepped forward and hugged her excited grandmother: "Then you will spend time with us in the future. When there is time next year, we will go to Penglai Island to see the uncle and grandpa together."
"Yan'er is really sensible. As long as she is with Yan'er, it doesn't matter where you live. If you can go back to see Big Brother, your grandmother will be really satisfied."
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time again, Jiang Xinyan knew everything she should know, and went back to sleep contentedly.
As soon as she entered the space, she saw that the man had harvested several tons of rice, "Husband is going to soak in the hot spring for a while, why do you have to rush so hard!"
"Well~ Xinxin didn't come back, I miss you very much when my husband stopped." Chu Lixuan was sultry without knowing it.
After the couple washed up, they became even more intimate, and Chu Lixuan asked for his welfare again.
The days were so unhurried, everyone performed their own duties, because they were well fed and warmly dressed, and everyone was full of energy.
The potatoes have already bloomed, and it will not be long before the potatoes can be harvested, between thirty and fifty days after flowering.
During the production process, potatoes will have different harvest times due to the growth climate and fertilizer and water conditions.
Providing full sun management during the potato growth stage will result in plants producing fuller, more productive potatoes.
The sunshine in the northern March is not strong, so at night, Chu Lixuan will pour the spiritual spring water with his mind.
This greatly increases the output of potatoes and accelerates the maturity of potatoes. At the end of March, potatoes can be dug for border trade.
During the period, the family members of the Chu family gradually arrived, and the place to live was not built, so they were temporarily arranged in the wooden house where the Zhenbei Army lived.
They were all very happy. They had experienced the plague of locusts. They had been notified by Chu Lixuan in advance, and they had also saved food.
However, due to lack of money or other reasons, after the New Year, there was no food left, and life was difficult.
I come here, and I can have a full meal every day, or rice, what a happy thing it is! Everyone is very obedient and works hard.
After the reign of Chu Lixuan, he mainly arranged to open up wasteland to plant potatoes, and then ploughed the fields according to the season to raise seedlings.
After the adults had set up and leveled the ridge, and after working for a few days, Jiang Xinyan took a group of children to the ridge to get some beans.
It was said that it was a busy farming season, and classes were suspended for a few days to order beans together.
Jiang Xinyan divided them into groups of three, one for jacking, one for ordering beans, and one for covering firewood.
After everyone learned it, General Song held a sharpened wooden stick and inserted a hole in the front, and Master Cheng placed three soybean seeds in the hole.
Hao Baorong covered the soybean seeds with firewood and ashes. Everyone divided the labor and cooperated, and felt very happy to be able to help.
The children were all in a group of friends who were close to them, Song Mingjiang, Chu Lixiang and a little boy from the Song family.
Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Yang are both wondering if planting soybeans on this ridge will affect the rice yield!
They were also very confident in Jiang Xinyan, and they were embarrassed to ask to avoid making a joke.
"Mrs. Chu, the paddy fields are used for planting rice seedlings. If you put some beans on the ridges, will it affect the yield of rice?"
Song Mingjiang is eleven years old this year. He has read books on agriculture and understands more. He has doubts in his heart, so he asks Jiang Xinyan.
"Xiao Songjiang is very powerful! He also knows the yield of rice, so not only will rice grown on this ridge not affect the yield, but it is also beneficial!"
"It's also good! Sister-in-law, there are so many fields that can grow a lot of beans!" Chu Lixiang was happy, he was very confident in Jiang Xinyan.
As long as Jiang Xinyan said it, Chu Lixiang believed it very much and never questioned it, so he didn't ask, just did it.
Jiang Xinyan is also very willing to teach this group of children. After a few years, these people will be her good helpers, and education still has to start from the children.
She happily used her inner strength to tell her friends, because there were many children, and they were in groups of three and spread widely.
The first benefit is that soybeans are planted on the ridges, which saves land resources. In the main rice-producing planting areas, whether in plain areas or hilly areas.
As well as mountainous areas, all rice fields have ridges that block the rice fields, generally about 30 to 40 centimeters wide.
Two rows of soybeans can be sown, which saves more land resources, especially in hills and mountainous areas, and the paddy fields are small.
And it is a deformed winding ridge, one mu of paddy fields can be saved, and 0.2 mu of planting area.
Saving so much planting area is of great significance and significance as a place with dense population and insufficient land resources.
Although our population is not dense for the time being, since we can save a variety of land, why not do it!
The second benefit is that planting soybeans on the ridges protects the animals from harming the rice. When planting rice in the countryside, the harm of wild animals cannot always be avoided.
In the future, we will also raise cattle and sheep. If we come to the rice field, we will first eat soybeans, and wait for the grazing person or owner to arrive. It will harm the soybeans, not the rice, thus protecting the safety of the rice.
Because the yield of rice is almost ten times that of soybeans, the production capacity of soybeans is very low, but the leaves are plump and tender.
It is much more tender than rice, and it is also the most popular crop for cattle and sheep. It plays a role in protecting rice and maintaining soil erosion in the ridge.
The rice and soybean planting season is the time when the rain in the rice-producing areas is very abundant in summer.
If there is no soybean planted on the ridge, the exposed ridge soil will be washed and washed by the rainstorm, causing the soil to be lost with the water.
During the heavy rain season, the ridges mainly play a role in retaining water. Due to the flushing of rainwater, the ridges become shorter and smaller, and they cannot resist the pressure of floods, which will cause the ridges to collapse and cause flood damage to rice.
In addition, after the soybean grows, the dense root system protects the ridge, so that the rain will not wash away the ridge, which achieves the function of protecting the paddy field.
Soybeans are planted on the ridges to avoid overgrown weeds and affect the growth of rice. During the growth process of soybeans, there are rhizobia in the roots, which do not require nitrogen fertilizer and have no effect on the growth of rice.
Soybeans are planted on the ridge, we must get rid of weeds, avoid overgrown weeds on the ridge, compete with rice for fertilizer, affect the normal growth and development of rice, and reduce rice yield.
In the process of growth and development, soybean will not compete with rice for fertilizer, so it will not affect the growth of rice, and it will not affect the yield of rice.
"Wow! So many benefits! Madam Chu is amazing! She knows a lot, where did you learn it?" Song Mingjiang was envious.
"My eldest sister-in-law already knew who she was! She is a fairy who descended into the world. You should follow my eldest sister-in-law and learn a little more." Chu Lixiang showed off his ass.
