The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 414 Fry and Quantity

Lin Xiazhi looked at Lin Huzi's energetic appearance, and estimated that according to his speed of drawing, he would be able to draw the hardcover print of the first agricultural book before the rice harvest in June this year.

Lin Huzi is very serious about his agricultural books and has worked hard. He wants to publish the agricultural books earlier to benefit the farmers.

After looking at the drawings, Lin Xiazhi thought for a while and asked Lin Huzi a question: "Father, why do you think some peppers become hotter and some become less spicy?"

"This..." After hearing Lin Xiazhi's question, Lin Huzi started scratching his head again, "Is it because the amount of fertilizer used was different, or the water was not watered enough, or when the time was planted? The influence of the weather, or some other reason?"

"If it's because of different fertilization, insufficient watering, different amounts of sunlight, and temperature, why are the peppers grown from their seeds still less spicy or more spicy?" Lin Xiazhi continued to ask.

This time Lin Huzi was silent, he really couldn't figure out why, so he just looked at Lin Xiazhi like that without saying a word.

"I don't know the real reason. I have been thinking about it since I discovered these peppers last year. I still don't understand it now. Father, you should also think about this problem when you are farming in the future. If you can find the reason, We will be able to grow different peppers according to our needs in the future." Lin Xiazhi left Lin Huzi with a new task.

Lin Huzi wrote down this matter and listed it as one of the most important things he did besides writing agricultural books.Island, Xi, regiment, team.

After having lunch at Lin's house, Lin Xiazhi took a short rest, and went out alone to walk around the fields in Lin's family village.

There were no people in the fields in Linjia Village at this time. Everyone had just had lunch and was resting at home. It was just right for Lin Xiazhi to observe the crops in the fields, so it would not be surprising.

Lin Xia wandered around the village, from the ordinary paddy fields to the paddy fields planned to be used for fish farming, without missing a single one.

It's been a while since I planted these rice seedlings, and their stems are gradually thickening up, basically no problem.

After watching the rice, Lin Xiazhi was going back to the Lin family, and he had to go back and find Lizheng with Lin Huzi.

At this time, the villagers who had finished their lunch break came out of their homes one after another, and they happened to meet Lin Xiazhi.

"Brother Xia!" Jiang Fulang called Lin Xiazhi who was about to leave from a distance.

Lin Xiazhi turned around: "Ah Jiang, what's the matter?"

Jiang Fulang ran over in two or three steps: "Brother Xia, today I heard from the villagers that something happened to your family. Can we help?"

"An accident happened at my house? No, nothing happened to me at home today. How could people in the village say that?" Lin Xiazhi couldn't understand why there were such rumors in the village. He was in Linjia Village today, and it was clear that nothing happened.

"From what they said, it seems that they saw you and your father hurrying away in the village this morning. Everyone thought something happened to your family." Jiang Fulang told what he had heard.

That's what happened...

The corner of Lin Xiazhi's mouth twitched. This is a typical example of listening to the wind and rain, not knowing anything, and guessing wildly when seeing others walking faster.

Although he disagreed with the gossiping thoughts of the villagers in their concern, Lin Xiazhi still explained: "I was in a hurry to go home this morning, so I asked my dad to go faster. Nothing happened to my family. Don't worry about other things."

"That's it, then I'm relieved." Jiang Fulang breathed a sigh of relief, "After hearing what others said this morning, I was so restless when I was making lunch that I almost burned the stove, thinking about when I would go in the afternoon Ask your family."

The Lin family is now the family that the villagers of Linjia Village pay the most attention to. Once something happens to their family, the entire village will be shaken twice.

"Everyone don't have to worry, please tell the village people, Jiang Ama, I'll go back first if I don't have anything else to do." Lin Xiazhi still has other things to do.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can go and do your work." Jiang Fulang took the vegetable basket at his waist, and stuffed two fresh Chinese cabbages into Xia Zhi's hands, "I just cut these two cabbages from the field. take it back."

"Okay, thank you Jiang Ah." Lin Xiazhi was not polite.

Now when he goes back to the village and meets villagers, as long as others have something in their hands, they will give him something. If he doesn't accept it, the villagers will be nervous, so now he is used to others giving it to him, and he will take it.

After returning to Lin's house and putting two cabbages in the kitchen, Lin Xiazhi turned around and went to the place where the seedlings were raised in the greenhouse to find Lin Huzi who was squatting on the edge of the field to watch the seedlings: "Father, are you in a hurry right now?"

"There's nothing urgent. I'm just observing these seedlings and preparing to draw a picture." Lin Huzi raised his head, still holding a magnifying glass in his hand.

"Then you go with me to the uncle's house and talk to him about the fish fry." Lin Xiazhi just walked around the rice field and saw that the fish fry could be placed in the field.

"Okay!" Speaking of releasing the fry, Lin Huzi put away the magnifying glass and stood up without hesitation, patted the mud on his body and prepared to go with Lin Xiazhi.

"What kind of fry is better to put in Brother Xia's rice field?" Lin Huzi asked as he walked.

"Grass carp, silver carp, and crucian carp are all fine, as long as they can eat insects, fallen rice flowers, and weeds in rice fields." Lin Xiazhi replied casually.

Not only fish can be raised in rice fields, but many other creatures can also be raised, such as shrimp and loach, which can also coexist with rice.

It's just that Lin Xiazhi knows less about shrimp and loach farming, and people in Jingguo don't like shrimp and loach, and it's troublesome to eat less meat. It's not as common as fish, so Lin Xiazhi proposed to raise fish in rice fields.

When we arrived at Lizheng's house, Wei Fulang was alone at this time, and Lizheng went out to work in the fields.

Although the things to be planted this month have basically been planted, the plowing in the spring season has not yet been completed. Next month, potatoes, sweet potatoes and beans will be planted in the ground, and I am plowing my own field with cattle.

After hearing Wei Fulang's words, Lin Huzi and Lin Xiazhi went to their field to find someone.

When they arrived at the edge of the field, Li was working with his back to the field ridge, and Lin Huzi stood on the field ridge and shouted: "Brother, how long do you have to finish what you are doing?"

Li Zheng turned around and saw that the people looking for him were Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi, and quickly responded: "This field will be finished soon, please wait for me for a while."

"Uncle, don't worry. We'll talk about it after you finish what you're doing." Lin Xiazhi also shouted at the top of his voice.

He said that Li Zheng was not in a hurry, but Li Zheng was anxious when he saw the two of them. The land was almost plowed, and only the last bit was left. He hurriedly drove his cattle to get the last bit. over.

Coming up from the ground, his body was more or less muddy, and the shoes on his feet were also stained with mud. Lizheng stomped his feet on the ridge of the field a few times, and shook his clothes before going to find Lin Xiazhi and the others. .

"What are you doing here?" Li was tying his cattle to a stake beside him.

"Brother Xia came back today and said that fish fry can be placed in the rice fields. We came to discuss with you, brother." Lin Huzi said impatiently.

"Why didn't you talk about such an important matter earlier!" Li Zheng was excited, "If I had said earlier, I would come directly to talk about the rice fields. Anyway, this land can't be planted now. I just took the cattle at home to loosen it because I was bored. Loosen the soil."

Because Li Zheng was more excited, Lin Huzi also became nervous, looking at Lin Xiazhi, he didn't know what to say.

"It means that there is no delay for a while, and we can discuss what fry to use today, and we will have time to buy it tomorrow." Lin Xiazhi waved his hand, telling Lizheng and Lin Huzi not to be so nervous.

"Brother Xia, it's easy for you to say, I can't wait to order the fish fry today, buy it back and put it in today." Li Zheng rubbed his hands, "I asked where there are fish fry sold last month."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Lin Xiazhi said calmly, "Let's see what kind of fish to choose first."

"Brother Xia, what suggestion do you have?" Li Zheng was too lazy to bring Lin Xiazhi and the others home, so he found a tree and sat down to discuss the matter.

"I think both grass carp and silver carp are fine. These two kinds of fish have their own advantages and disadvantages. Uncle, have you asked the fish fry merchant what kind of fish they have?" Lin Xiazhi asked.

"I asked. He has grass carp fry, crucian carp fry, silver carp fry, etc. He said that grass carp is easier to feed, and it can grow up if you put some food in the water. Crucian carp is also easy to feed, but it has more spines and grows to After a certain size, the meat will not grow much. Silver carp has fewer spines, so the selling price will be more expensive when it grows up..." Li Zheng told the news he had learned from the fish fry merchant.

It was also the first time for Lin Xiazhi in this regard, but he had asked in advance, so he seemed more professional when he said it. When making a decision, both Li Zheng and Lin Huzi looked at him.

Several people discussed for a while, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different fish species, and finally decided to try to raise grass carp this time, and try not to make mistakes.

The types of fish have been fixed, but the quantity is still unclear. Lin Xiazhi has no experience in this field. He only knows from others how many fry are suitable for raising fish in the pond.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiazhi estimated a figure based on the number of fish fry in the pond - two thousand fish fry per mu of rice field.

This number is slightly higher, mainly because of the certain mortality rate when the fry are small.

After confirming the type and quantity of fry, Li Zheng left the rest.

Fish fry are not as easy to buy as lotus root seeds. Li Zheng had already inquired about where to buy fish fry, but Lin Xiazhi didn't continue to care.

In fact, it was still early, and Lizheng wished he could contact the fish fry merchant immediately and ask him to bring the fish fry here immediately.

It's a pity that no matter how early the weather is, it's already afternoon at this moment. Even if we can contact the fish fry merchant, others can't pack the fish fry and transport them here.
