Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 246
Except God knows how to raise earthworms, no one knows this secret!
In unison, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Xuewei's face.

It's not that they think too much, but that their brains are not as good as hers!
Scratching the pinna as if having a headache, Ding Xuewei asked tentatively: "In what environment is it easiest to find it?"

"A place with heavy humidity and soft soil, of course, it shouldn't be too humid. Earthworms will be soaked to death in rainy weather." Aunt Bai answered quickly.

Aunt Xiao and others who didn't grab it nodded their heads.

"Then provide them with such an environment." Ding Xue clenched her fist slightly.

Things that can be done step by step, it is best for people to do it step by step, she didn't say much, and artificial hatching is fine, how difficult is it to raise an earthworm?
After a chattering discussion, the crowd walked out of Xiao's house.

With everyone's high interest, Ding Xuewei almost couldn't hold back, and held an earthworm breeding competition.

"Why are you so happy?"

As soon as they entered the door, they were facing Aunt Zhang Qi's mother and daughter Dahua, who were carrying buckets to fetch water. Seeing her humming a ditty, they were a little curious.

Ding Xuewei asked the mother and daughter to wait, and took her own keg, and she walked all the way to share the joy with the mother and daughter of the Zhang family.

The past few days have been very tiring from cutting down trees and digging out roots, so it happened to be a day to rest and rest after pulling out grass.

If the water problem is not resolved, not to mention the newly added fields, even the seedlings that were expected before are also in danger!
"I don't know if you've seen these people before. I see, it's better for you to call the village chief and Uncle Xu. They're doing pretty well!" Aunt Zhang Qi was more confident in her own people.

If it weren't for the novels she read that were full of mashed vegetable leaves to feed earthworms, she would also think that earthworms eat soil!
Not long ago, Aunt Bai and the others said that they often changed the soil... who spread the rumor that earthworms eat soil!
"There are more earthworms in the vegetable field than in other places, so these earthworms must like vegetables, or why don't we buy some vegetables later to test?"

"Fruit maggots are actually okay, and rotten cabbage should be okay too. Flies seem to eat everything!"

"Earthworms can be raised, so wouldn't it be easier to raise bamboo worms?" Dahua was whimsical.

"Mom, we really don't need to do it?"

These words directly disgusted the mother and daughter of the Zhang family.

"What?" Dahua didn't hear clearly.

When raising seedlings before, in order not to make people suspicious, she not only raised rice seedlings, but also raised grain seedlings, all of which were planted in the expected [-] mu field.

"If you want to do it, just ask your father to assign manpower for you. I won't do it. There is nothing to waste the money on. It's not that there is nowhere to spend it."

"Well, I think, in terms of ease, maggots are probably the easiest." Ding Xuewei said in a low voice.

Artificial hatching is real and feasible, and there is nothing surprising about raising earthworms.

The rice seedlings are growing very well, the grass seedlings are not bad, and the other seeds are also very good. In the end, except for the peppers with a fixed number of acres, all others have been planted, and the paddy field has taken up four acres more.

"I mean, there's no rush to dig earthworms. I'll pick them up slowly later. What I should consider now is what the earthworms eat. The fields are all cleaned up!"

When pulling the weeds the next day, Ding Xuewei asked casually, and many people agreed immediately. In the afternoon, she called the village head and Grandpa Xu.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, thinking about what I don't want for a long time. Simple, they should be able to do it if they can handle this season. Go back and try!"

Naturally, after confirming that the simple waterwheel could be used, both the old man and the village head spared a lot of manpower to make the waterwheel.

Ding Xuewei is confident: "If we pull out the grass, let someone make a water wheel."

When it came to the field, Aunt Zhang Qi gave her advice: "The grass in your field should be pulled out. If you don't pull it out, the roots will be deep."

"Don't look like that." Ding Xue was slightly annoyed: "I'm talking about meat maggots."

"Mother, turn around and let's dig some more earthworms and come back to try." Dahua put an end to raising maggots.

"I was irrigated a few days ago, and the fields were rotten. These two days should be just right, and I will have people do this tomorrow." Ding Xuewei thought about the appropriate time to pull weeds tomorrow.

Don't say it, what a great idea!

There are nearly [-] mu of seedlings, but the fields that can be planted are far less than this!

"Waterwheel, simple waterwheel!" She was also helpless: "The master carpenters in the city are scattered all over the place, and the ones everywhere are basically reserved. We don't want to use it this season!"

Xiao Li, who came back from the transfer field, was a little confused.

"That's right, wild vegetables are also vegetables!" Ding Xuewei pretended to be surprised.

Five days later, a light and simple waterwheel made of bamboo and wood was completed. In the next few days, the progress was much faster. When Ding Xuewei, Ding's family and the villagers' fields had already erected many small waterwheel.

Aunt Zhang Qi, who was helping to figure out when she would be able to invite someone just a moment ago, was speechless.

Aunt Zhang Qi also had the same idea: "Go after dinner."

The mother and daughter gave her a look that only she dared to think about.

Farmers, as long as a man can do it, it is impossible to pay for it. Although a farmer's man is not a carpenter, everyone has his own way of dealing with wood.

"Don't earthworms eat soil!" Dahua was surprised.

Li Shi, who was sewing the insole slowly, raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

Ding Xuewei was speechless.

Planting seedlings has to be soaked in water. The water in the village is not enough this season, and with the new land reclaimed by the Ding family, the water is even more urgent. If the water cannot keep up with the seedlings after they go to the field, this season will be over.

"The seedlings can be planted before they are full." Aunt Zhang Qi reminded: "The rice seedlings of yours are growing well, and they should be able to plant a few more acres. They have to move faster to plant the remaining seedlings."

"I'm afraid there won't be enough water this year!" Da Hua said suddenly.

After not paying attention to the long-term aspects of durability, the water wheel is still very easy to make, and when you want to get water quickly, manpower is more suitable.

At the current speed of reclamation, by the time of Xiaoman, at most [-] acres can be opened.

"I think···"

Ding Xuewei expressed her innocence: To be honest, she really thinks maggots are the best way to raise them!

"There's nothing wrong with what you said." Aunt Zhang Qi agreed: "However, you don't need to buy vegetables. In addition to the dense grass, there are many wild vegetables in your vegetable field. I went to pull the wild onions and pinch them earlier. Shepherd's purse."

"Plant as much as you can, let them pile up half of the grass and trees!" Ding Xue slightly regretted not asking for more people!

Aunt Zhang Qi and Ding Xuewei looked at her together.

"Sister Xuewei, don't think about it." Dahua interrupted her bitterly.

"Mother, the second sister-in-law has a lot of money, maybe she will have to complain about you in the future!" Wang's yin and yang were strange.

Mrs. Li stared at her in a blink of an eye, and said before Mrs. Li explained: "It's up to you, whether you have more money is not a problem, the problem is whether you want it or not."

"I listen to my mother." Xiao Li changed her words.

She has always been active in the matter of flattering her mother-in-law. Next, Ding Xuewei, her family, even the villagers, have more or less prepared water tankers. Since they have water tankers, they can draw water. Naturally, the water in the pool should be used by those who don't have waterwheels.
