Chapter 68 Grow soybeans
But the fish's wishes were doomed to fail. Yang Liulang shook his head with a dejected face and said, "How can I change the bamboo products I made of these precious things? The gadgets I made up can only be exchanged for the leftover things that are not easy to sell at home.
Yang Liulang said as if he remembered something and quickly reached out to pull over the bamboo basket he had carried. After turning it over for a while, he turned out a few small cloth bags and put them on the table and said, "Look, these are the things I made in exchange for bamboo products. Although these things are not worth much money, our family usually return them. It can be kept for food.
Hearing this, the fish picked up the small cloth bags and opened them and looked at them. They saw that they were full of peanuts, sweet potatoes, small green beans and other grains. The fish casually shoveled some green beans with their palms to see, and at a glance, they saw that the little green beans were average in color and not good.
This little green bean is actually a modern mung bean, which is not worth much money in the Northern Song Dynasty. After the fish put the little green bean in his hand back into the cloth bag, he casually looked at several other grains and miscellaneous grains, with a slightly disappointed look on his face. -- The bamboo products made by Yang Liulang are really not worth much money. There is not much money for fish and beads!
The disappointment on Yuer's face made Yang Liulang feel very distressed. He was also worried about Yang Qiniang's affairs. At the same time, he felt self-reproach because he still couldn't help Yang Qiniang after seven years. That self-blame had a heavy sense of powerlessness. That sense of powerlessness made Yang Liulang clenched his fist tightly and vowed that he would definitely Learn from Master Nian more attentively!
But at this moment, the fish and her eyes, which were originally full of disappointment, suddenly burst into a strange brilliance. She excitedly held a handful of soybeans and eagerly asked Liu, "Mother, can these soybeans be planted in the ground as seeds?"
Liu took a closer look at the soybeans in the fish's hand and said, "It should be okay, but few people in our village have grown soybeans. This kind of soybean is not as good as growing grain and can't sell them for much money."
Fish also knows that you can't make much money by selling soybeans directly, but when you went to the countryside to experience life in your previous life, you often saw relatives grow soybeans and learned to grow them yourself because of the fun. That time always impressed the fish and kept the method of growing soybeans firmly in mind.
Fish remember that in his relative's previous life, he can not only grow several seasons of soybeans a year, but also grow soybeans. They can also make a variety of bean products. Although these soybeans are worthless, if they can be made into bean products, how can the price be doubled several times...
And if the taste of these soy products is made well and unique, it will be more valuable! In addition, the cost of growing soybeans is low, the cycle is short, the cycle is high and the profit is high, so the relatives of fish only like to grow soybeans, which have more or less learned some of the most basic bean products.
This method is firmly engraved in the fish's mind and is ready-made. There is also a small bag of soybeans as seeds. In addition, it is just the beginning of spring and it is not yet time to sow rice in the field. Generally, when the fish's land does not grow rice, the most important crop, it will be used to grow all kinds of vegetables, otherwise it will be wasteful if it is empty.
It has been seven years since the fish traveled to Xiaoqi Village. When they were young, they were carried to the field by Liu every day. They had already figured out the rules of farming in the villagers--the farmers in Xiaoqi Village planted the best-selling rice in most of the fields, and then drew out a small piece to grow some vegetables. These vegetables may be sold or For my family to eat on weekdays.
But southern Fujian people pay attention to "planting after the Great Heat and full of winter bales", that is to say, generally, rice can only be planted for two seasons a year - the first season is about before the Qingming Festival (at the end of March), transplanted at the end of April, and harvested at the end of June; the second season is about the beginning of July, transplanted in early August and harvested in early October.
That is to say, except for the time taken up by these two seasons, from the beginning of October until the end of March, there is no way to grow rice in the field, only some white rice, rape or other vegetables. In the north, rice can only be planted once a year, and only some places can grow three seasons a year.
At present, it is the first month. The white dragonfly in Yang's field has just been collected and sent to the city to sell. Liu originally planned to buy seeds and plant the white dragonfly again in the next few days. The white dragonfly will mature after about two or three months. At that time, the white dragonfly can be harvested to continue to the first season of rice... However, Yang suddenly came out of the family. The matter of Qi Niang made Liu delay the matter of planting Baisong.
The fish felt that Yang Liulang had just been free in his field for a few days and sent the soybean seeds, which was simply too early and late. If Yang Liulang came a few days later and planted white song or other vegetables in the field, there would be no place to grow the soybean seeds no matter how many soybean seeds were sent...
Since the land is empty at present, the fish naturally has to make good use of this time difference to try to grow a soybean. So as soon as the fish learned that the soybean can be used as a seed, it immediately pestered Liu and said, "Mom, anyway, several mu of our land is also bare and empty. Why not let the fish grow some soybeans? I heard that the soybeans can be harvested more than two months after planting. As long as the soybeans harvest, there is a way to sell them for money!"
"And because this soybean matures quickly and will not delay us from planting the first season of rice, in this case, mother, please promise to let the fish grow soybeans in our field! The fish promised that he would only be responsible for directing a few brothers, and he still took the beads to the edge of the field, and he must not drop his hands!"
The reason why fish wants to grow soybeans is that they value their short cycle, that is to say, now they can have a bumper harvest by sprinkling soybeans in more than two months. At that time, they can know whether the soybean products made of soybeans can be exchanged for money.
But Liu did not agree to the fish's request as usual. She said with a hesitant face, "Fish, it's not that your mother doesn't want you to plant this soybean in the field, but tomorrow as soon as your father is idle, we will plant white straw in the field. At present, there are still two or three months to sowing rice during the Qingming Festival. , just enough to plant Baiong again..."
"If you have to grow soybeans instead of white beans, but can you guarantee that this soybeans will definitely get back as much money as white beans? If it doesn't work, we will lose money if we plant soybeans on these acres of fields at home!"
Liu's concerns are very reasonable. After all, the farmers in Xiaoqi Village have never planted soybeans. They don't know what they need to pay attention to in the process of planting soybeans, let alone whether soybeans can be as good as Baiong and other vegetables. However, Liu's concerns have been thought of for a long time, and the fish really have a lot of experience in how to grow soybeans...
Seeing the fish, he sworely and said, "Mother, don't worry. As long as you promise to let the fish grow soybeans, the fish will take care of it and finally plant the white dragonfly that our family originally wanted to grow, and will never do anything at a loss!"
Since Yuer has arranged everything and confidently pestered Liu's coquettishness, Liu's family has no way to be pestered by her. In addition, Yu'er has always been an idea child, so Liu's family soon compromised with Yu's wishes: "Okay, okay, if you like to plant it, go and plant it!" If the soybeans you are to toss can exchange for something else, it will save some money for our family.
Liu did not dare to expect the soybeans grown by the fish to be sold for money, so she only hoped that the soybeans made by the fish could be exchanged for something. After getting Liu's permission, the fish immediately took action. He ordered Yang Liulang to resist the hoe and pick up the soybean seeds. He also urged Liu and other children of the Yang family to come back and let them quickly go to the field to help. He held a small needle and thread basket full of beads and needles and threads, and urged Yang Liulang to leave quickly...< /P>
In his previous life, when the fish followed his relatives in the countryside to experience growing vegetables, he humbly asked his relatives for advice and learned that the soybean was actually a soybean. He had to sow the seeds at the beginning of spring, that is, around the first month. At present, it has been a few days since the first month, so the fish urged Yang Liulang to do it quickly.
So as soon as the fish and Yang Liulang arrived in their fields, the fish stood on the rip of the field and commanded Yang Liulang to plow the field. After ploughing the field, the fish took out the soybeans used as seeds from the small cloth bag and carefully sprinkled them on the ploughed farmland...
This child who grew up in the countryside, except for the fish who refused to go down to play in the field because of cleanliness, which child did not play in the field? Which boy hasn't helped his parents with farm work?
Therefore, the fish only commanded the beginning. Next, Yang Liulang knew how to do it. I saw Yuer and Yang Liulang sprinkle soybeans from one side of the field together, but Yang Liulang's action of sprinkling soybeans was very skillful and fast. In a short time, he left the fish far behind, not only the soybeans in his hand. After spilling, he took the soybeans from the fish's hand and sprinkled them together.
After the soybeans were spilled into the field, Yang Liulang carefully covered the soil with a hoe. After covering it, he carried a bucket to the stream to fray water without the fish's instructions. After the water came back, it was watered into the field that had just been sown.
Yuer saw that Yang Liulang's farm work was very well done, so he did not stand on the side to make him feel in the way. He looked for a piece of land with beads and said to Yang Liulang with a smile, "Brother Six, I think your farm work is well done, not worse than your father at all! This is the best. Anyway, you don't have to go to the state to study every day like the eldest brother and the fourth brother. You can help the fish look at the fields, water, catch insects and so on..."
"Sister, aren't you going to let Sixth Brother come to help you farm every day?" Yang Liulang asked with a bitter face and pity.
"Yes, that's exactly what the fish is planning! Sixth brother, you will promise the fish, right?" The fish blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Yang Liulang motionless.
