Chapter 1895: Crop Planting Techniques
After walking for more than ten miles, we were still within the confines of Lijiazhuangzi.
No snakes were seen on the road, and not a single hare was found.
I did see squirrels preparing food for the winter.
Affected by the large area of freezing rain, some migratory birds began to migrate. According to aerodynamics, the geese will form a special formation.
The word "human" or "yi" depends on the influence of wind direction.
If the wind blows randomly, the formation of the wild geese will also be disrupted, so they have to adjust their flying altitude.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan didn't understand it before, so who could think of aerodynamics? There is simply no place to find out.
Now they know that it’s just like skating in the winter, or running on a daily basis, or riding a bike.
Including experienced sailors, they cooperated with each other to create a beautiful curve on the river. When there was wind resistance behind them, the fleet of boats was scattered like branches and leaves of trees.
Waiting to make a zigzag against the wind, like a dragon swinging its tail, taking advantage of the crosswind from the sailboat in front.
"The work was done neatly. Not bad. There are still a few days left this year. I won't be playing with them in the village."
Li Yi saw that not even a rabbit could be found along the way, so he knew that Yulin Feiqi was always cleaning up out of sight in front.
The withered grass on the ground had traces of being trampled on, and there was no time to deal with the traces.
"The Yulin Flying Cavalry is indeed strong, but we are torturing them too much while playing." Princess Yongmu felt that it was too luxurious.
"That's it from your point of view, and it's a point of pride from their point of view.
Yulin Feiqi, professional, loyal, brave, tenacious and flexible.
You feel that they are serving you, but they are enjoying the process and not even a big worm is left for me. "
Li Yi didn't think he was bullying Yulin Feiqi, he was having fun.
"Yes! These grasses are inedible. The amaranths are blooming. It's useless to cut them now."
Princess Yongmu touched the amaranth and gray vegetables beside the path with the sickle in a protective sheath.
Time has passed and it cannot be eaten as human food. It can be fed to pigs.
When feeding pigs, it depends on the specific types of wild vegetables. Some green vegetables can be poisonous if eaten.
Her sickle blade was sheathed, and Li Yi was worried that she would accidentally fall and fall on the blade or tip.
After walking for a while, the three of them reached their destination.
A small soybean field on the mountain. The shape of the field is irregular. Overall, it seems to be about 200 square meters?
It was ten meters by twenty meters, with a circle of perilla planted around it, but no one harvested it, and they probably forgot about it.
There are also poppy gourds that have darkened in color, the stalks are all bald, and the poppy seeds and perilla seeds have fallen to the ground.
There is a small ditch next to this place, and the water is still trickling. Moss grows on the edge of the artificial ditch.
"Li Lang, do I want to cut it?" Princess Yongmu was eager to try and wanted to use the sickle.
"Just kick it and the roots will become brittle. Don't worry about the perilla. You have to harvest the seeds of the poppy and plant them next year.
No, there are still some perilla seeds that haven’t fallen off. Use a bag to harvest them. These are edible and taste better than sesame seeds. "
Li Yi spoke louder and asked the people hiding in the dark to stop.
"Why don't we people in Zhuangzi use it to make pickles?" Xiaolan saw that the leaves could not be picked to make pickles. It was a pity that they were too old.
Using perilla leaves to make pickles was a common method among the Korean people at Li Yi's time.
In fact, it is very simple. When you look at the green perilla on the roadside in the countryside, pick out the tender leaves, wash them and pickle them with salt water.
Or steamed sticky bean buns or something like glutinous rice noodles, put them on as a doily, and you can eat them together.
"Bean farmers plant perilla around them to protect the beans. Planting a circle of perilla around the bean fields drives away many pests.
At the same time, in the seedling stage, if birds eat it, they will choose perilla first. Some birds are disgusted by the smell and stay away.
When the soybeans grow up and some birds want to eat them, the perilla grows first. It is better for them to eat the perilla seeds.
After the soybeans are mature, even if you let them eat the sparrows, they will not eat them for fear of being bloated and dying. "
Li Yi popularizes science, and all the beans you sow are knowledge.
At that time, whenever he saw soybeans, beans, etc. on hillsides or riverbanks, people who knew how to plant them would plant perilla, corn, sorghum and other things around them.
There are also people who don’t understand, but people who don’t understand generally won’t choose that kind of place to plant things. They are all in small areas, tens of square meters.
If the area is larger, there are also people who specially plant Lala vines and thorns around it, mainly to prevent people.
Beware of gentlemen but not villains. Nothing can stop those who want to get in.
Of course, there are also places where green onions, beans, and lentils are grown without any obstacles on the roadside.
But we don’t grow cucumbers and eggplants. These two things can be eaten raw. When people pass by and are thirsty, they pick them off and rub them for them to eat.
I don’t plant gourds either, not because I’m afraid of eating them, but because I’m afraid of being touched.
As the quality of the people improves, more cherry and apricot trees are planted on the roadside, and the municipal government is responsible.
Look at the flowers. As for the apricots and cherries, no one touches them.
"Why didn't the sparrow come to eat the perilla seeds?" Princess Yongmu learned the normal knowledge again, but found out the situation.
"Look over there, there is a scarecrow when planting millet. Even if you are not afraid of the scarecrow, you should eat the millet first.
Those who sow have no intention of harvesting millet. The scarecrow is just a decoration.
If you can't harvest millet, you can harvest straw and use the straw to weave things.
When people sow something, they will consider which part they want to harvest and never sow blindly. UU Reading www.uukanshhu.net
Now, those who plant the land want to harvest millet stalks and soybeans, so they don’t waste any more time. "
Li Yi pointed to another place. It was not sorghum but millet.
Because sorghum stalks are not as good as millet stalks in making tools.
"Is it so complicated for Li Lang to grow crops?" Princess Yongmu had not seen such a situation in the newspaper.
This is a small-scale planting on abandoned mountains and rivers. There is no need for newspapers to introduce and explain. People who can grow crops will understand it themselves, and those who don't understand it will not grow it.
The key is that Li Yi does not agree to grow things on the riverbed. If there is a heavy rainfall, everything will be washed away. The newspaper, as introduced, is equivalent to encouraging people to grow crops.
"Survival is difficult, so people have to find ways to collect more food. If there is corn and water nearby in the future, it will be good.
Otherwise, sorghum and millet will be planted. Sparrows have small mouths, and a circle of millet can be planted around to protect the main food crops.
Let me talk about it in the newspaper. I forgot before. This thing is passed down from generation to generation.
However, with the new species, we must make better use of resources. It is actually more worry-free to grow sweet potatoes in this kind of land."
Li Yi took the sickle with a cap on Princess Yongmu's hand, took off the cap, and started to cut. He couldn't kick it, otherwise the beans would fall off.
He used the seedlings together to light the fire, and then he dug up the beans to eat.
The potatoes were placed under the bean seedlings and needed to be roasted for a while. If the fire was just right, they didn't need to be touched. If the fire was affected by the wind, the potatoes needed to be turned over.
"Does anyone here raise bean worms? Look for them. If there are any, roast them together and eat them." Li Yi said and began to search.
"No, I saw it just now. I guess someone took it away." Princess Yongmu shook her head.
"Look at the bean leaves. There are traces of breeding." Xiaolan followed.
"The people in the village are really careful. Do you think the people who grow crops here will eat the bean worms themselves?" Li Yi thought about the issue of ownership.
