Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

Chapter 474 Teaching Interplanting

When they heard that it was edible, everyone unconsciously looked at it a few more times, thinking that they should remember it so that they could pick it up and take it home next time they encounter it.

In the coldest month of winter, there are not many edible dishes. A mushroom can be used as a dish.

Goudan Niang smiled from ear to ear. She took down the basket hanging on the pillar and said, "If Goudan picks up a lot, I will give you some."

After hearing her words, Su Ziling raised her eyes and saw that she had already poured a third of the amount, and she had no intention of stopping.

"Aunt Osmanthus, don't pour it. You can take it back and eat it. I have some at home, and we also picked up some a few days ago."

"Hey! What you have is yours. This is what I gave you. Just keep it and eat it. You have a lot of family members. Besides, let Goudan pick it up after eating. This child goes into the mountains every day. Where can he get it? What a shame."

Goudanniang didn't listen and kept pouring. Only when she was halfway through did she stop.

Su Ziling shook her head and laughed, but she didn't care about her. Everyone here was waiting to weigh the olives.

"Grandma, you give me the money and I'll weigh it." Su Ziling came to Grandma Su and patted her hand gently.

Grandma Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, I can't weigh my old bones."

She laughed as she said this, and the people around her joked about her, "There's no need for you to move. Your Xiaoqing is so capable. With her here, you two will enjoy a lot."

Su A'nai said while giving the money: "If you are capable, you can't just point your fingers at her. I'm here to give you money."

"I wish she could work less. Look at her, how much weight she has lost in the past six months. She is also a person who can't rest. She usually refuses to rest even if I want her to, and just crawls into the mountains whenever she can."

Seeing Su Ziling's nimble movements, everyone looked envious.

"Thanks to her running all over the hillside, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today!"

"Yes, that's right. It was all thanks to her that we harvested peppers, ice-coffee fruits, mushrooms, and peas last time. Otherwise, we would have had nothing to eat."

"By the way, will we still be harvesting ice-pink fruits and sweet peppers this year?"

someone suddenly asked.

Su A'nai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Ziling, "You have to ask this girl about this. I really don't know. We don't understand these things at home. This girl is in charge."

Su Ziling naturally heard what they said, "I've harvested it, and I'll harvest it again next year. There are sweet peppers, ice-pink fruits, broad beans, peas, red beans, olives, and mushrooms. I've collected them all. If you have any at home, you can give them to me." come over."

Everyone's faces were full of smiles when they heard that she was still harvesting. They didn't prepare much this year and didn't plant much of many things. If they are still harvesting next year, they can prepare early and plant more by then.

"Just harvest it. Then we can try to plant some sweet peppers and red beans this year. We can also plant red beans on the edge of the field. Then we can just insert a stick for it to crawl. It will not affect other crops."

"I have saved some ice powder seeds. Hehe, I think I will scatter them on the ground and on the roadside so that I can pick them."

Someone else mentioned Su Ziling’s family’s interplanting method this year.

"By the way, Xiaoqing, I see that your family is planting corn this year. It seems that there are beans and red beans planted between the rows of corn?"

"Yes, will it affect the harvest? What should we pay attention to? If possible, we will try it next year."

"You're talking about interplanting, right?" Su Ziling said as she weighed, the movements of her hands not affected at all.

"It doesn't affect the yield of corn itself. It will be the same as in previous years, and it will be the same this year, and there are many benefits of interplanting."

Hearing her happy words, everyone's eyes lit up and their ears pricked up. For a moment, the courtyard was quiet, no one spoke, and Su Ziling was left alone to talk.

“First of all, we can save our land resources to a great extent and improve land utilization. Planting a variety of crops on the same piece of land can achieve multiple harvests in one land and obtain higher yields on a limited land area. "

“Secondly, intercropping can not only increase harvests, but also reduce the chance of pests and diseases.”

"The last step is to increase production and make rational use of the land. The more we plant, the more mature and fertile the land becomes."

They didn't understand the latter part, but they understood one thing, that is, interplanting can increase the harvest!

Many people also came to their senses and murmured, "It seems like this. You see, in previous years, we only planted one kind of crop on a piece of land, so we could only harvest one kind, and there were even holes between the rows of corn." It’s empty. If you plant corn too densely, the harvest will be impossible. If you don’t plant it, it will be empty and wasted.”

"If we also plant some soybeans, red beans, etc., wouldn't it be possible to harvest two or three crops from one piece of land?"

"You're right! My family will grow like this next year. After planting the corn and paying the tax, there will be nothing left, but the beans and red beans grown can still be sold for money. Isn't this extra income?"

Everyone was talking to each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, wishing that they were now the ones who could show off their talents.

"More than that." Su Ziling interrupted them with a smile.

Hearing her voice, everyone looked at her, "Xiaoqing, what other benefits are there? Can you tell us about it together?"

"Yes, yes, tell me!"

Su Ziling was not stingy at all, "Okay, then I will tell you that after the land is planted, you can also plant sweet potatoes."

"Is it just like the one in your family this year?"

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes, plant corn, and then interplant soybeans and red beans. You can plant a row of melon seeds on the edge of the field. The beans ripen earliest and can be harvested early. After harvesting the beans, you can turn over the ground and pile soil on the roots of the corn. Then start growing sweet potatoes.”

"By the time the corn and melon seeds can be harvested, the sweet potato vines that have been planted will have almost established their roots. Even if there is less rain, they will not be killed by the sun. The advantage of planting this way is that the corn trees can block part of the sunlight and reduce the mortality of the sweet potato vines. ”

"When the sweet potatoes are dug in September and October, eh! Just plant the broad beans, peas, and wheat together. This way, the land will not be idle, and it will not delay everyone's planting in the spring. We will even plant a new crop. crops.”

Everyone looked at each other, as if this was the reason.

In previous years, they planted a single crop. For example, out of ten acres of land, nine acres were used to grow corn, and the remaining one acre was planned to be used to grow sweet potatoes, peanuts and beans.

In this way, the corn was enough to pay the tax, but their rations were gone.

There are also some other miscellaneous things, but they are not planted enough and there is not enough to eat.

In the past, I would only think that there was too little land, so I couldn’t grow enough to eat.

So whenever I have free time, I go to open up wasteland. Once the wasteland is cleared, it takes another three years to cultivate it before planting. Well, the land has increased and the people have become more tired, but there is still not enough to grow.

But now when they heard what Su Ziling said, they were shocked to realize that it turned out that they didn't know how to farm.

"No, I can't remember it in my head. After Xiaochun collects it and digs it out, you have to ask the child's father to come and sit at your house and learn from your family."

"Yes, yes, we will come together then. Let's make an appointment to come over together and let Xiaoqing explain it to them. This will save your family from coming today, mine coming tomorrow, and those coming every day, which will delay your time."
