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

Chapter 106 The Vegetable Seeds Sprout

Then more and more people tried, after all, they were all used to farm work, and they learned it quickly, some of them did better than Zheng Sisi, because they understood the importance of food better, and no one would waste it.

Then Zheng Sisi taught them how to put up a scaffolding by inserting bamboo sticks into the mud along both sides of the ridges to form an arch, with one stick inserted every half a meter.

After a row of fields was filled with crops, Zheng Sisi directed people to pull the tent cloth over the arch, and after smoothing it out, they stuffed the surrounding areas of the tent cloth into mud and pressed it down with more mud to prevent it from loosening.

Zheng Sisi said: "The temperature is not very high now, so covering it with tent cloth can help keep it warm.

In the future, you must make sure there is water in the water, but not too much, just enough to cover the soil. Once the seedlings grow out, the water can be deeper.

If the weather is good, you can open the two ends of the tent cloth in the morning to allow ventilation inside, which is more conducive to the growth of the seedlings. "

The third prince and the two young masters Zhong and Zheng stood by and although they did not take any action, they were learning seriously.

Xia Sicheng was still holding a pen and a notebook and taking notes frantically, fearing that he would miss something.

After Zheng Sisi taught them all the procedures, she let them do it themselves while she watched from the side.

They are all good at work and they all rushed to get started.

More than 100 kilograms of rice seeds were only planted in a few acres of land.

Zheng Sisi said to everyone, "I only have this much rice seeds. One acre of land requires about eight to ten kilograms of seeds. The seeds I brought are only enough to plant 17 or 18 acres of land. You can decide what to plant for the rest of the land.

You should still plant two crops of rice as I said. If so, it is still in time to cultivate and germinate them.”

Sun Zhuangtou was also tempted. If he planted two crops, the harvest would double, and the share of grain left by everyone would also double. He made a conservative decision.

Sun Zhuangtou said, "Boss, we used to grow one crop in our paddy fields. We have more than 200 acres of paddy fields. Can I grow another 50 acres of double-season rice according to this requirement?"

Zheng Sisi also understood his idea. If he failed, at least he wouldn't starve.

Zheng Sisi said: "That's fine, this year is just a trial planting, if it's successful, we can plant two seasons in the future.

Also, the seeds I brought will yield a higher yield, so I will plant them separately, and I will need to save them for seeds."

Everyone said, "Boss, we understand."

In this way, after planting the rice, everyone packed up and went back home, while those who were farming continued to farm.

Sun Zhuangtou brought a few experienced farmers back to learn how to sprout rice from Zheng Sisi.

Seeing that everything was alright, the Third Prince and his companions drove a horse-drawn carriage to the town to purchase supplies for making eggs.

On the way, Xia Sicheng said to Zheng Sisi: "Miss Zheng, the vegetable seeds we planted a few days ago have sprouted. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Zheng Sisi raised her head, lifted the veil with her hand, looked at the sun, and replied, "Okay! Let's go now."

Zheng Sisi said to Sun Zhuangtou, "Let's go to the field to check on the seedlings. Go back and prepare the things first. Hot water, a big wooden barrel, a basket, an old quilt... I will be back soon by the time you are ready."

Sun Zhuangtou: "Okay, boss."

Head of Sun Zhuang led his men back to the yard, and Zheng Sisi led his men to the fields.

When they arrived at the field, there was no one there. The diggers had already finished digging this area and moved to another side.

Zheng Sisi came to several plots of land where vegetables were planted. They were covered with tent cloth, so she couldn't see anything.

Zheng Sisi squatted down and lifted a corner of the tent cloth. She saw tender sprouts growing in the ground and two leaves on a small pole. They were a pleasing light green.

Zheng Sisi asked a few people to uncover the tent cloth: "Several people hold the edge of the tent cloth and work together to make sure the seedlings are not crushed."

"I'll say one, two, three. Everyone, pull together. One, two, three, uncover."

Several people worked together to lift the tent cloth. A burst of hot air and the smell of rotting fertilizer filled the air.
