Chapter 44 Lime Boiled Egg
"Um... Second uncle, most of the places where our team is stationed are in rural areas. I also learned from the experience of people farming in the south. The land they farm in the south is really good!"

Jiang Defu hesitated for a moment, but he didn't expect Shi Laiwang to ask such a question.

"Do you remember the past?"

Ginger is still hotter than old. Could it be that this old man is doubting himself?

Jiang Defu didn't know much about what kind of person his original body Jiang Defu was.

Jiang Decai was not good at talking, and Zhang Guilan rarely met him.

From the chatter between Jiang Dehua and the people around him, we can know that compared to Jiang Decai, the original Jiang Defu is a fairly smart and clever child, but after all, he is just a young man, and his own special personality traits are not very obvious.

"Well, I can recall some things about the team, but not much... Occasionally, for example, when I was farming, I would have some impressions of the past..."

"That's good. After all, you have been out and seen the world. Although you are still young and have not enough experience in this kind of world, although this stick looks big, you still don't know what the particles will be like!
Don’t just grow sticks but not rice grains!When I was young, one year the corn cobs also grew quite big, but there were not many corn kernels on them. You just need to pay more attention. This can provide a year's harvest, so don't be careless! "

Shi Laiwang warned.

He now basically regards Jiang Defu and the others as his own children, and is very concerned about their crops.

When they didn't apply farmyard manure before, Shi Laiwang came to urge them several times. Jiang Defu had no choice but to mix potassium fertilizer into the farmyard manure.

He was originally worried that there was too much fertilizer on the farm and the corn would only grow stalks, but now it seems to be doing well.

"Sanwazi, look at the weather conditions, it might rain in the next few days. Be careful to protect your adobe from rain, so it doesn't get damaged by the rain!"

Shi Laiwang warned before leaving.

There is no weather forecast these days, so old people make guesses based on their own experience.

For example, the weather has changed recently, and when is it most likely to rain every year, etc...

Jiang Defu now knows that building a house is not easy.

It takes a long time to dry the adobe bricks, not to mention the time required to bake the bricks.

The scariest thing is the rain.

If it rains and you don't pay attention to rain protection, it may be ruined.

Fortunately, they built a shed in advance, and the bricks were almost dry. They put them away and put them in the shed to dry.

Regarding farming, Jiang Defu actually encountered many problems.

For example, although the family trusts him very much, after all, it is related to the family's food rations, and it is not easy to change their original thinking about farming.

For example, before there was no need to add farmyard manure, Jiang Decai and the others were hesitant. He could only add potassium fertilizer to the manure.

There is also about the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

Here, after the sweet potato seedlings are dragged into long branches, they are turned over to prevent those branches from digging into the ground and affecting the growth of the main sweet potato branches.

This theory may sound reasonable.

But Jiang Defu accidentally visited a farm in his previous life. In his previous life, the farm economy had begun, and many wealthy people contracted large amounts of land to engage in agriculture on a large scale.

A friend once joined the group and wanted to make Jiang Defu rich and invest, but he thought agriculture was too risky and did not do it.

My friend is doing quite well, but it is really hard work. We used to eat, drink and have fun together. After that friend started farming, he basically had no time for leisure.

One day, when a friend was planting watermelon, red and sweet potatoes on a large scale, he went to visit. The agricultural technician at the time said that sweet potatoes did not need to be pruned, which was different from the traditional sweet potato planting technology before the 80s.

At that time, he also talked about a lot of useless farm work done in the previous era. In the final analysis, local technology and knowledge capabilities were limited, and new agriculture had changed too much "common sense" in traditional agriculture!
Every time Jiang Defu thinks about what happened at that time, he wants to curse!
It would have been nice if I had engaged in agriculture by myself at that time. At least now I can farm with ease!
But now I can only cross the river by feeling the stones. This feeling is not good, very bad!
Regarding the matter of turning sweet potato branches, Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan were hesitant, but they were obedient and would do as he said most of the time.

My younger sister, Jiang Dehua, is a fool and firmly believes that sweet potatoes must be plowed, and everyone in the village is plowing them.

Jiang Defu couldn't change her, so he could only make a bet with her that she could turn one of the two sweet potatoes from the earth and not the other, and then make a comparison.

Jiang Dehua is also a stubborn person. When she heard that she could make a bet, she immediately agreed.After lunch and a short rest, Jiang Dehua went to the fields to dig sweet potatoes.

Zhang Guilan and Jiang Decai dried the previously cut artemisia seeds and turned them over, preparing to use an old donkey to crush them to remove the seeds.

This thing can make oil. In fact, it has been a tradition since early times. It’s just that in rural areas, people like to follow the crowd when doing things. It is often called the old sow business.

What others do, do yourself.

Even though there are a lot of mugwort in Shi'ao Village, few people think of doing this.

When they cut and dried it, many people thought it was hay stored for the old donkey at home.

Jiang Defu didn't help. He has been dumping things in his house today.

He bought limestone from the system, dug some clay two days ago, and is working on making putty.

During this time, the weather was hot and drying out, and he was thinking of painting his family's house.

Although the mud walls were simple and original, it felt fresh to him when he first moved in.

But now I have experienced the inconvenience!
Although through people's wisdom, those mud walls are still strong after being weathered by wind, water and rain.

But the interior of the room also has mud walls, and dust can easily appear inside.

There is dust on the bed every day, and sometimes when I wake up in the morning, there will be rustling on my face.

If this happens for a long time, it will become unclean. In addition, Jiang Defu is worried about the impact on the respiratory tract and lungs.

The pneumoconiosis he learned about in his previous life was caused by workers engaged in too many dust-related industries.

For the sake of beauty and health, he planned to paint the interior walls.

"Third brother, what did you do?"

Zhang Guilan watched the white lime and soil mixed together, and Jiang Defu was stirring constantly, curiously ready to step forward and touch it.

"Be careful, don't dare touch it with your hands!"

Jiang Defu shouted directly, which startled Zhang Guilan.

"This thing can burn people!"

"Can this burn people?"

Zhang Guilan saw something as small as smoke spreading around her. She thought it was dust smoke or something, so she didn't pay much attention.

"This thing is very hot. If you don't believe it, if you put an egg in it, it will be cooked in a while!"

"What! Can you put things in this thing and cook it? Third brother, you are not lying, are you?"

Jiang Dehua didn't know when she came back.

"If you don't believe it, try putting an egg in it!"

Zhang Guilan had raised two broods of chicks before, and the survival rate this time was very good.

There are more hens in the house and they lay more eggs.

Although we can't say that we have free eggs at home, since we don't have to buy salt, we can eat eggs occasionally, and they are not as expensive as before.

"I'm going to get an egg!"

Jiang Dehua trotted over and took an egg. According to Jiang Defu, she threw it into the lime.
