Longing for mountain village life

Take this tomato for example, the current tomatoes are soft, eat a lot of soup, but the taste is not good, there is a taste like chewing wax, whether it is eaten raw or mixed with sugar is not delicious.

Especially those who claim that a tomato grows into a large tree and bears hundreds of fruits, that kind of tasteless is even more tasteless.

Jiang Tian followed his grandfather to the vegetable garden, and he took charge of the land with a hoe.

A hoe goes down, revealing black soil, very fertile, these are all picked up by grandpa one by one, what farm fertilizer, fertilizer, this will make a vegetable garden.

Not only in vegetable gardens, but also in the land where crops are grown.

Grandpa was hoeing the ground next to him.

"When your field is sprinkled with those mussel shell dregs, I'm going to plant some tomatoes, lettuce, sweet potatoes and taro, and then you can bake sweet potatoes."

"Eat more vegetables in the future, it is better for the body, tomatoes can also whiten, look at your mother, I like to eat tomatoes since childhood, the skin will be so good."

Jiang Tian complained: "My skin is already very white, to be honest, I want to bask in the sun and tan a bronze color, how handsome it is."

"Whether it's bronze or white, it's all caused by your skin type, there's no need to overdo it."

"You know, even if I want to dry it, I can't do it!" Jiang Tian couldn't help it, he had been baptized by aura, and his skin was now as white and tender as a baby's skin, which really didn't fit a man's temperament.

Jiang Tian's speed is very fast, a piece of land has been hoeed by half, and his grandfather's speed is not slow, his current body seems to be twenty years younger.

"Grandpa, I want to contract a few acres of land to prepare to grow a la carte to buy, you see that our dishes here are so popular, they will definitely be sold at a good price when the time comes."

"Farming!" Grandpa was a little hesitant, "Actually, you can do something else." Hearing

this, Jiang Tian knew what his grandfather meant, and to put it bluntly, he still wanted him to work in the city.

Grandpa said to himself: "You see, how comfortable it is to work in the office, and you don't have to worry about the wind and rain, if you really don't want to, you can also take the civil service exam, then you will work in the county, close to home, easy work, and five insurances and one housing fund, when the time comes, buy a house, marry a wife and have children, how good it is." "

Jiang Tian is helpless, the old man is such a thinking, I hope that the children can settle down smoothly, I don't want them to toss around, it is best to be close to them, so that you can take care of it."

Of course, it is the elderly who take care of them, not the children taking care of themselves.

"In this way, grandpa, I am also interning anyway, I haven't graduated yet, well, I may graduate next month, it doesn't matter."

"You give me a year to see if I can make money, if not, then I will go to the city again, anyway, it won't be long to delay."

"Okay, okay!" Grandpa agreed.

Jiang Tian did not relax when he saw that he agreed, because he knew that his grandfather would mention this matter in a gap within this year, which was normal, and only after he was stable would his grandfather really stop mentioning it.

Grandpa thought for a while, "It's quite simple to want to contract land, the village has always had such an incentive policy, I hope that the villagers and young people will come back, the villagers have a variety of land, when the time comes, just go directly to the village chief, and you can only contract for one year, even if you try the water first, don't worry about contracting for too long and losing too much."

"But may I remind you, do you know why the villagers are reluctant to contract land, because they can't afford so much loss, even if it's only for a year, but you think about what the land in our village looks like."

Very poor, you also need to prevent soil erosion, the pre-work needs to spend too much money, and you need to buy fertilizer, too much fertilizer is easy to cause soil compaction, farm fertilizer in a short time you can't use the land, you also need fertilizer, otherwise the ground is full of bugs.

"In the past, this kind of land was treated with a year-long planting, one-year waste, planting corn, not producing a few corn cobs, after harvesting corn, corn stalks are all left in the ground, set on fire, you still need to watch from the side all the time, absolutely can't let the fire burn the trees, otherwise, it will be troublesome."

"When the burning is finished, the insects in the field are also burned, and the ground is full of grass and wood ash, at this time you need to water to prevent the grass and wood ash from being blown away by the wind, you don't need to water too much, you can wet the surface, and then you need to pull the cow to plow the land, you need to plow a little deeper, and bury these grass and wood ashes under the soil."

Grandpa stopped hoeing, "Do you think this is the end?"

Jiang Tian complained: "You have asked so, it must not be so simple."

"That's right, this is the first year of preparation, after which the grass seeds are sprinkled in the ploughed land, and by the second year you can see that the field is full of weeds, the wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows, of course, not to burn these weeds, but to wait for them to wither naturally, and after withering in winter, you can clean up the weeds in the spring and prepare them for planting, because at this time the fertility in the field is enough for crops to grow."

"In the future, it is necessary to apply farm manure and burn grass and wood ash every year to ensure the fertility of the land, otherwise the crops will deteriorate year by year."

"Now you understand, contracting land is not a problem, the most difficult thing is fertility, without fertility, how do you grow vegetables."

"And that's all in the past, now it's not allowed to burn, those don't know what to do, say it's polluting the air, in fact, everyone knows, most of them are mainly industrial pollution, car exhaust, etc., what are you going to do?"

Jiang Tian was silent.

"I didn't expect that there was so much attention to farming!"

"Of course, farming is a science, there are many ways in it, and you can't just learn it in textbooks, you also need to apply it in the field, otherwise it's just paper."

"Do you still want to continue contracting land now?" Grandpa asked.

"Of course, this difficulty does not bother me." Jiang Tian was full of confidence.

Grandpa was surprised, "Seeing you like this, it seems that you are not worried about fertility, or have you guessed what I am going to do."

Now it was Jiang Tian's turn to be surprised, "What are you going to do?"

"I didn't guess it, then what method are you going to use, it won't be to want fertilizer, I can tell you, that thing can't be used too much, you don't think about it, just use my method."

Without waiting for Jiang Tian to ask, Grandpa said, "Aren't we going to clean up the lotus pond and pond, it's all fertile silt, and it can be used." "
