Chapter 161 The Distress of the Harvest Under the guidance of Quan Xu, the Zhuang Huran found a large cauldron, poured fresh cow dung into the pot, and added a lot of water.Then, raise the heat under the pot and stir in the pot with a wooden stick until the boiling water has evaporated the foam in the pot."
Stop the fire, don't worry about dropping the water, add a little coarse salt, and stir well!"
Cow manure can be used as feed for pigs, sheep, and even chickens and ducks, of course, this needs to be treated, which is generally divided into dry treatment and wet treatment.The natural drying method is to mix fresh cow dung alone or mixed with a certain proportion of bran and mix it well, spread it on the cement floor or plastic sheet, turn it over at any time, let it air dry naturally, dry in the sun, and then crush it and mix it into other feeds for feeding.This method is low cost and easy to operate, but it is greatly affected by the weather and is easy to cause environmental pollution.Mechanical drying method is the use of related equipment for drying, which can achieve the purpose of deodorization and sterilization, and is also a widely used drying method.Of course, both methods are time-consuming, and Quanxu uses a wet process.Soon, the processed cow manure will be sterilized at high temperatures, and after being considered, it will be cooled.Quan Xu pointed to the farmer and said, "You go and find a pig to feed it." ”The farmer drove a few pigs over, and several of them found the trough and began to eat happily.Lu Xiangsheng looked at this scene and was dumbfounded: "Do these pigs really eat cow dung?
It was also eaten quite sweetly!
”Quan Xu watched the piglets happily eating cow dung, and he explained to Lu Xiangsheng: "This cow dung can be fed to pigs, or I accidentally found out, pigs will eat cow dung."
After the treatment of cow manure to feed pigs, a piglet only needs seven to nine months to grow more than 200 catties, a person can feed one or two hundred pigs, a year can produce 20,000 catties of meat!
”Although pork is cheap meat, it is better to eat meat than no meat at all.Quan Xu felt hungry himself, and he said to the family next to him: "Bring two canned luncheon meat!"
”After a short time, the soldiers brought two pieces of canned luncheon meat.Quan Xu opened a can, and then handed it to Lu Xiangsheng.Lu Xiangsheng naturally had eaten this kind of meat.Quan Xu introduced while eating: "This kind of canned food is made of pork, the corn planting area of our Daimyo Mansion is only more than 300,000 mu, you can easily feed 200,000 head of cattle, the cow dung produced by 200,000 head of cattle can feed 1 million pigs, and after a year, you can produce 20 million catties of meat, and our Daimyo Mansion is less than 700,000 people, so that you can get 30 catties of meat per capita, which can not only save a lot of food, but also improve the physical fitness of the people, increase immunity, and also improve economic benefits." ”Lu Xiangsheng suddenly brightened, and he vaguely understood what Quan Xu meant."
In addition, pig manure is also a treasure!""
What" Lu Xiangsheng felt that his three views had been seriously disturbed, cow dung was a treasure, it turned out that he had always thought that it could fertilize the field.However, in the hands of Quan Xu, pigs were raised with cow dung.Pigs are omnivores and eat a lot, and cow dung is simple and easy to collect."
Pig manure can be used to raise fish!"
Jeon Wook took a branch and scratched it on the ground, starting with corn stalks, corn cobs, then manure, and then, pork and pig manure."
Especially that kind of catfish, they like to eat pig manure, and the fish fed with pig manure grow fast and are big, so that pig manure can feed millions of fish!"
Quan Xu while drawing, while calculating: "A catfish can grow three or four catties a year, the cost of these pig manure, negligible, any fish pond, you can get tens of thousands of catties of fish meat every year, which can be used to satisfy hunger, can also be used to sell money, and fish farming is not counted, after soaking in the pond pig manure becomes a good fertilizer, dig out for farming, can increase production a lot!"
”When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
”"Master Lu can let people try it!"
Quan Xu pointed to the chimney in the southeast direction and said: "There is a kiln, in order to burn bricks, a lot of land has been dug, there will be ponds formed, I will let people buy fish fry, in the pond to raise fish, this is the economic cycle of ecological farming!"
”Lu Xiangsheng looked at the simple graphics on Quan Xu's ground, and finally understood why Quan Xu was rich.There is a big reason for his wealth, people have good heads, and the key is that they will turn stones into gold.Quan Xu got up, looked at the officials around him, and looked at Quan Xu with a look of resentment.These officials are like angry little daughters-in-law, and they were dragged by Lu Xiangsheng to Quanjiazhuang Town to visit Quanxu's corn harvest.Finally, it was noon, and you can eat a rich working meal in the future, after all, Quan Xu is a famous rich man, with fat chickens, sheep, and cows here.Of course, they can't eat beef either.Although they want to eat beef, they don't want to smell cow fart.Quan Xu reacted, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lord Lu, it's not early, I also set up a banquet in the house, you see?"
”"Let's go!"
Lu Xiangsheng touched his belly, although he and Quan Xu ate a canned luncheon meat, they were still not hungry.Quanxu's Dongnuan Pavilion is okay to entertain twenty or thirty people at ordinary times, but like today, there are more than 100 officials and officials, and they will definitely not be able to settle down.can only be separated, Lu Xiangsheng and the chief official of the ten counties and one state of the Daimyo Mansion and the palm seal entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, while the other officials could only eat in the canteen.Quan Xu said a little embarrassed: "Lord Lu, forgive me, my lords, the humble house is shabby, there is not even a decent hall, the largest hall is in the Minglun Hall of the Golden Ladder Academy, where a banquet is held, I am afraid that I will be disrespectful to the saint!"
”"It doesn't matter if you have this house, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are edible, and you can also eat coarse tea and light rice!""
Today, I prepared a coarse tea and light meal for Lord Lu and the ranking adults!"
As everyone sat down, Quan Xu looked at Taoxian and said, "Ready to serve!"
”There are actually only two maids in the inner courtyard of Quanxu, and now even Hongchen and Wushuang are on the scene in person, serving tea and water.The dishes were quickly served, including sour and hot shredded potatoes, braised potato strips, dry pot potato chips, chicken stewed potato pieces, golden potato cakes, meat foam mashed potatoes, crispy potato cakes, cumin potato pieces, pork ribs potato pieces, potato baked eggs, sweet potato porridge made of sweet potatoes, sweet potato mashed desserts, sweet potato flour noodles made of vermicelli, of course, cornmeal steamed buns, cornmeal wotou, corn soup and so on, there are dozens of dishes.The meal made the officials very happy.Of course, if you miss a meal, you will be hungry for more than two hours to ensure that your appetite is satisfied.What's more, potato dishes still taste good, whether it is crispy potato cakes or sweet potato cakes, not only looks better than pastries, but also tastes better than pastries.In the evening, the joy of the harvest continued.More than 10,000 acres of land have been harvested, and all the corn that has been broken down has been transported to the Quan's compound and placed on display.At this time, corn cobs were placed everywhere in the entire compound, and looking at the mountains of corn cobs, the officials had become numb.Farmers or displaced people involved in the harvest, they are somewhat incredulous.Lu Xiangsheng was a little puzzled that the average yield per mu was getting higher and higher, even reaching more than 2,500 catties, and he couldn't help asking: "In the same way, why is the output higher and higher in the afternoon?"
What's going on?
”"The land we harvested in the morning is close to the roadside!""
What's wrong with being close to the curb?"
Lu Xiangsheng didn't respond for a while."
It's been stolen!"
Quan Xu shrugged his shoulders and smiled disapprenously: "This kind of corn cob, when it is raw, it can be boiled and eaten, it can also be burned, especially roasted and eaten, that is called really fragrant ......"
"An acre of land was stolen and eaten three or four hundred catties?"
”"This is normal, coming from south to north, there are so many people, I can't stand it!
They put a little bit into the cornfield, and who knows if they are peeing, fighting in the field, or stealing corn?
”Why do you eat secretly, in fact, the main reason is that Quan Xu often preaches it in front of the family Ding Bing, and at the same time, there is a part of the corn cob that Quan Xu asks people to pick and cook and eat, or roast and eat.There are really not many direct outsiders who dare to steal.This era is not like the later generations.What thief is justified, the thief stole someone else's watermelon, broke his leg when he was chased, and the melon farmer also needs to lose money.At this time, catching the thief and killing him by mistake is also a vain death."
Zhou Li, Qiu Guan, Courtier" "All thieves, soldiers, towns, towns and their families are not guilty of killing." ”"Sui Shu Criminal Law Chronicles" "Thieves attack the township and enter the house, and the person who kills him is not guilty" "Tang Law Shu Yi" "Those who enter the house without reason in the night will be flogged forty."
The master kills the one when he arrives, don't worry. ”"Yuan History: Criminal Law III": "Those who sneak into people's homes at night and are beaten and die. ”"Da Ming Law" "Whoever enters someone's house at night without a reason will have eighty rods."
Whoever kills the Lord's house at the time of his death, do not count.He has already committed the crime of killing or injuring without permission in the case of detention, and the crime of killing and injuring is reduced to the second degree.and to the dead, a hundred rods, three years. ”Even if Quanxu has a lot of cornfields, no one dares to steal them.After all, Quan Xu has a lot of land, and he has more families and more people.Lu Xiangsheng didn't know the inside story, he was very angry, after repeated inspections, he was very sure that the corn that was not close to the road would yield more, which showed that what Quan Xu said was the truth, such a high-yield corn was very delicious to eat, he even felt distressed to eat it now, not to mention that it was stolen and eaten when it was not ripe?"
Lu Dian!"
When Lu Fengming listened to what Quan Xu said about being stolen, he knew that it was not good, and sure enough, the board was about to fall on him."
The lower official is here!"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Immediately prepare for the establishment of the Quanjiazhuang Town Inspection Division, select capable old officials, and put up the shelves!"
”"Yes!"
Yuan Shiqing said with a smile on his face: "Master, we can't put the corn in our yard!"
”Corn needs to be dried, and this process depends on the weather, ranging from seven days to half a month.If you put it hard, you will definitely be able to put it down, the key is that he not only has corn, but also more than 30,000 acres of potatoes and more than 30,000 acres of sweet potatoes.The reserved space in Quanxu's compound was originally not large, and it was occupied by Jinti Academy.Now the compound is a little too small.Quan Xu thought for a while and said, "Isn't the east side of our compound the training ground where the original family trained?"
Smooth out there and pile up corn and corn stalks. ”.
