Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 433: Arrangement of Grain Seeds

Zheng Sisi: "Okay, as long as they are dried and the warehouse is not damp, we can thresh them after we have dug up all the sweet potatoes."

Sun Zhuangtou said, "Don't worry, Princess. The warehouse is very dry. We checked the grain before putting it in, and even borrowed a cat to catch mice."

Speaking of this, Zheng Sisi said, "We can raise a few cats and dogs on our farm. The cats can be placed in the warehouse to catch mice, and the dogs can patrol and guard the house. They are both good helpers."

Sun Zhuangtou said, "Okay, I'll go ask around in the next few days to see if there are any kittens or puppies."

Zheng Sisi then made arrangements for various grains: "Corn, rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are the four main types of food. They will all be kept for seeds after they are harvested this year, so they must be kept well. The seeds for your own use will be kept on the farm, and I will arrange for people to take away the others and transport them to other places for use as grains.

And I brought a lot of vegetables, are there any seeds left on these farms?"

Sun Zhuangtou said: "Yes, we kept seeds of peppers, cucumbers, beans, etc., and there are a lot of them. Every household that has these vegetables kept some, probably for their relatives and friends. Next year, there should be people planting them in this area."

Zheng Sisi nodded: "Since everyone knows how to grow them, we can just plant a little on our farm and just take care of the restaurant. I'll go buy some new seeds and we can grow other things."

Sun Zhuangtou was very puzzled: "Princess, since these vegetables are selling so well, why don't we continue to grow them next year?"

Uncle Li and Xia Sicheng also nodded. Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Things are valuable because they are rare. The price is high this year and others are rushing to buy them because they are rare. Next year, they will be planted everywhere and the price will not be so high.

But everyone be careful, they can still be sold. If you want to sell them at a high price, you have to transport them to places where these vegetables are not available. Ordinary people can't go there by themselves, so they can only rely on caravans, and they need to pay for transportation, so the purchase price won't be too expensive."

After hearing this, several people were full of admiration. They had not thought about what the princess said. They only thought that if the sales were good this year, they would plant more next year. They did not consider the sales issue.

Zheng Sisi: "I'll keep enough of these vegetable seeds for myself, and I'll arrange for someone to take away the rest."

Sun Zhuangtou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be ready."

Zheng Sisi asked: "What kind of vegetables will be grown on the farm in winter?"

Sun Zhuangtou said: "In winter, we plant some radishes and cabbages. The weather is too cold and other vegetables can't survive. They will freeze to death. So we let the land rest and grow fat."

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "The soil is not fertile because it has not been given nutrients. Are you using the composting recipe I gave you?"

Uncle Li said: "Yes, we dug a lot of compost ponds on the farm, otherwise the harvest this year would not be so good. I also took a few plots of land for experiments, leaving out five mu of land and planting rice according to the previous fertilization method, the yield was 30% less, and we still used the thinning method.

I think the harvest from those fields would not be good after one season. When they passed by our fields, they looked so envious that they wanted to rush into the fields and grab a handful of rice to stuff into their mouths. "

Uncle Li’s description made everyone laugh.

"So next year there will be more people coming to learn how to grow double-season rice. The emperor will arrange for Xia Sicheng's work, and the farm will depend on you, Uncle Li, and Sun Zhuangtou."

Several people nodded, and Sun Zhuangtou said with a smile: "The princess doesn't know, just because Manager Li taught those people to grow double-season rice, some rich masters came to Manager Li and offered him a high price to be the manager of the farm, specifically responsible for growing double-season rice, but he refused them all."

Uncle Li said, "Of course. The princess is so good to us. I just want to follow her for the rest of my life and grow all kinds of crops for her. No matter how much money I get, I won't go anywhere, hehe!"

Zheng Sisi gave him a thumbs up: "This is a wise choice. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Zheng Sisi took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and spread it out for the others to see. She said, "After the second season of rice is harvested, you can build trellises in the fields according to the drawings, and then cultivate the land and plant vegetables. I will provide the vegetable seeds."

Sun Zhuangtou: "You can grow vegetables in the fields!"

Zheng Sisi: "It's too far to farm, the land is not flat, and it's inconvenient to get water. You have to carry it a long way. It's convenient to get water in the fields, and you need to burn firewood to keep warm in winter, and it's also easy to take care of. If there is a large area of ​​flat land, it's also fine. You can choose the place yourself."

Sun Zhuangtou and Uncle Li nodded, and Sun Zhuangtou said, "Let's go and investigate on the spot before deciding.

Then several people gathered together and looked at the paper carefully. They saw a low shed drawn on the paper, with several stoves and chimneys around it.

They couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is amazing! How could the princess think of this?"
