lady, please calm down

Chapter 15
The next day, the sun rose as usual.

Chen Chu came to the field early in the morning and rolled the sliced ​​potato stems with bud tips in the plant ash.

Before planting cut crops, it is better to disinfect them with carbendazim or 0.5% potassium permanganate solution.

But Chen Chu definitely couldn't do it right now, so he decided to use plant ash instead.

Plant ash can sterilize and inhibit bacteria, has a certain disinfection effect, and is also a good potassium fertilizer.

The barren land behind the mountain of Fuhu Village is barren and requires a lot of fertilization.

This is also a headache for Chen Chu right now.

He has a way to make fertilizer.

If phosphate fertilizer is needed, it can be produced by mixing animal offal, shrimp skin, crab shell, egg shell, expired steamed bread, bone meal and other kitchen waste into EM bacteria for composting and fermentation.

But the question is, how can there be such high-end products as animal offal and shrimp skin and crab shells in the food waste of the escaped household village?

eggshell?

The whole village can't eat a few eggs in a month, so where do they get the shells?

Don't even think about expired steamed buns.
In the same way, the fruit peels, bagasse, tea dregs, and medicine dregs required for retting nitrogen fertilizers cannot appear here.

As for human and animal manure, it is also not an option.

Not to mention whether Chen Chu is willing to dig out the toilet with the stench, even if he is willing, there are only forty people in the fleeing village, and there is not much food to eat.

Even if everyone urinates desperately, how many catties of fertilizer can they save?

Whether it is the traditional Chinese composting method or the imported Pokashi composting method, there must be fertilizer before composting.
"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Chen Chu said leisurely.

But he felt that this metaphor was inappropriate, so he quickly took a sip.

In early March, Chen Chu planted potatoes and tomatoes in the field.

In the middle of the month, the sweet potato seedlings and purple long eggplant seedlings that had completed seedling cultivation were planted.

In the second half of the year, with the help of Yang Zhen and others, a new field was cultivated, and Chen Chu used it to grow watermelons.

In order to prevent the small animals in the mountains from eating the seedlings, Chen Chu would get up every night to make inspections.

When I have free time, I hide in that shack and copy books.

Although tired, but the day is quite fulfilling.With the cat around, he doesn't have to worry about trivial matters such as eating, drinking, and lazing.

Anyway, there are hot meals to eat when I go home, and clean clothes to wear when I open my eyes.

In the next two months, watering, weeding, seedling filling, and branching were naturally indispensable.
Chen Chu's originally fair skin was tanned a lot, but he also became stronger.

After working barebacked in the hot weather, the muscle lines on the upper arms and lower abdomen are already faintly visible.

Aunt Yao waited for the woman to see her, and she often used this to tease the cat for finding a "tired calf".

When the cat heard this, it would temporarily put down the new clothes it was sewing in its hands, lower its head in embarrassment, and silently stare at the busy figure in the field for a long time.

The season came to mid-May.

The evil seedlings growing from the roots of the peach tree are already two feet high, and the young branches have also become woody, with fresh peaches that are about to turn red all over the branches.

On May [-]th, Chen Chu led all the old and young men from the fleeing village to the peach grove.

I chose a leeward place outside the peach forest, and set up a pottery pot.

"Two catties of rosin, one catty of yellow wax, and half catty of lard are boiled. All uncles, remember this ratio. Eldest son, continue to stir."

Chen Chuzhi asked his eldest son to keep stirring the thick liquid in the clay pot, and continued: "Then remove the fire, and wait until the temperature of the wax drops to the point where you can touch it with your hands, then you can use it."

At this time, the daytime temperature was already [-] degrees, and it was a bit smoky beside the pot, but all the young and old from the fleeing village gathered here.

Because Brother Chen wants to teach everyone the secret technique of receiving evil.

"Everyone, cut the front end of the evil seedling into a flat and thin shape, insert it into the cortex above the wound of the peach tree, bind it with cloth strips, and then seal it with wax liquid to prevent contamination by bacteria. This forms a bridge for transporting nutrients."

Chen Chu made a demonstration with his own hands, and then asked: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

This method of taking over is not difficult, the core is the ratio of wax liquid.

It's just that we can't immediately see whether the half-dead peach tree can be saved, and everyone is still a little uncertain.

"Hey, even if these seriously ill peach trees can be saved, this year's harvest will be reduced." Yao Sanbian regretted.

At this time, productivity is low, and each harvest has been planned in advance where it will be used. Damage to the peach forest harvest will directly affect the living standards of the escaped household village.

"The harvest is less, but our peaches are expensive this year." Chen Chu said with a smile.

"It's not too expensive, and the price of fruit is only a penny or two every year." Peng Er, who was standing in the crowd, said.

But Chen Chu said: "Second brother Peng, the day I went up the mountain, didn't I tell everyone that there is a way to turn fresh peaches into fairy peaches with the word "Xiantao."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked suspicious.

At the beginning, everyone thought he was speaking casually, and they didn't really believe that there was such a magical skill in the world.

Even if there is, Chu Geer is willing to teach everyone with all his money?

"Miss, I asked you to cut the fine print for me these few days." Chen Chu turned his head and said.

Mao'er, who had been following Chen Chu's side, seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Hearing this, he took out a thick stack of words cut from dark cloth and handed it over.

These characters are only Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi.

It was the cat who traced the words and cut them out after a few nights.

Earlier, Chen Chu thought that the word "shou" in the current font must be written as "shou". Later, after reading "Guangyun", he realized that the abbreviated word "shou" had been circulated as early as the Han Dynasty.

Yang Zhen looked at it for a while, took a few words from Chen Chu's hand, imitated the latter, and at the same time leaned closer and whispered: "Brother Chu, can this method work? Don't lose face in front of uncle. "

"Da Lang, I heard that you are going to the city tomorrow?" Chen Chu answered irrelevantly.

"Well, go get some salt sauce."

"Come to my house tonight."

"it is good."

In the evening, Yang Zhen came to Chen's house according to the appointment.

Chen Chu's family had just finished dinner when Mao'er saw that the two were about to have a long conversation, so he hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and went to boil a pot of water in front of the stove.

After the hot water was boiled, the cat made a bowl of dandelion tea for each of them, washed a handful of succulents and lanterns just picked from the mountains today, and served them on wooden trays
Use dandelion instead of tea and wild fruit as dessert.

Although it is a bit shabby, the cat's way of hospitality is impeccable.

After finishing all this work, Mao'er went to pick up another short brown piece and handed it to Chen Chu.

"I'm not cold." Chen Chu, who was only wearing a blouse, refused.

The 褙褡 is similar to men's vests of later generations, only covering the chest and back.

Mao'er frowned slightly when he heard the words, and regardless of whether Chen Chu wanted it or not, he helped him put it on, and complained softly: "Officials, don't be brave because of your youth. It's cold in the mountains at night, just in case It’s not your fault that you fell ill after eating the cold wind.”

At a young age, he is as verbose as Chen Chu's mother.

Chen Chu smiled helplessly: "Understood, my lord."

Only then did Mao'er pursed her lips in satisfaction, then turned her head and went into the house.

Yang Zhen looked at the quick-witted mistress of the Chen family, couldn't help being envious for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, can you ask me if there are any unmarried sisters among the younger siblings?"

"What's the matter? Da Lang wants to marry a wife?" Chen Chu laughed.

"Nonsense, wild cats are known as Sao at night, I am eighteen now, why don't I want to marry a woman who knows both cold and hot."

"Then let Aunt Yang tell you about the marriage?" Chen Chu said naturally.

"Hey~"

But Yang Zhen sighed, curled his lips and said: "There are only a few families on the mountain, and there are no girls of the same age. Who is willing to marry their daughter into the mountain? Don't say it is me, the eldest son is one year older than me. Didn't talk about daughter-in-law. You are a full man who doesn't know a hungry man is hungry."

'Actually, I'm also a hungry man. 'Chen Chu couldn't help but also sighed.

"Don't talk about that, why did you call me over?" Yang Zhen picked up a mulberry fruit and threw it into his mouth.

Speaking of business, Chen Chu quickly took two pieces of paper full of small characters from his clothes and unfolded them, and said complacently, "Look at this."

Copying books is not an easy job, because it is time-consuming and laborious to compare "Guang Yun" and change simplified characters into traditional characters.

But Yang Zhen said slightly annoyed: "You bastard, don't you know that I can't read?"

"Uh..." Chen Chu, who flirted at the blind man, had no choice but to fold the paper and stuff it to Yang Zhen, confessing: "Da Lang, go to the city tomorrow and put these two pieces of paper on the bulletin board of the cattle and horse market." posted."

"Ah? Why post it?" Yang Zhen asked strangely.

"You don't understand after I say it. After a while, we will sell the peaches with the word "Xiantao", all based on it."
