Chapter 163 (1/2)
Even Fangzhou asked Yang Guanshi casually that the two fish ponds would be drained every year, and the water would not be irrigated until April next year, which would take turns year by year.
I don't know where Mr. Yang heard that. He said that he could sun the bottom of the pond and disinfect it so that the fish could grow better!
Lian Fangzhou nodded and said with a smile: ”this is true! I'll teach you a way. After the empty pond is irrigated in the next year, put a sack of quicklime in each of the four corners, which can also kill poison! In the hot summer, it's good to go up the mountain and cut down some pine branches with thick leaves and put them in the pond! ”
”Oh? Is there another way to say that? ” Yang Guanshi looked at Lian Fangzhou unexpectedly and said with a smile, ”does the girl even know how to raise fish?”
”I don't know,” Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, ”I just know some of them.”
”Ha ha,” Yang Guan Shi said with a smile. He was skeptical about Lian Fangzhou's words. He had to look back carefully. If he did, he would have done a lot of credit for saying it to the master.
”Miss Lian wants Tangni, please! Anyway, there is much mud in the fish pond! It's no problem how much you want! Hehe, it's miss tuolailian who dug our fish pond deeper! That's a good thing too Manager Yang said with a smile.
”Thank you very much.” Lian Fangzhou arched with a smile.
It is obviously impossible for her, lianze and Ajan alone.
Six baskets are needed for one mu of land, and nine hundred baskets are needed for 150 mu. Lian Fangzhou plans to dig a thousand baskets.
She had a discussion with manager Yang and asked him to ask if there was anyone in Yang's family who was willing to help?
Of course, it's not unpaid help. Each basket of pond mud to give two Wen money, the day of cash settlement. About ten people.
Manager Yang's eyes brightened and said with a smile, ”Miss Lian is really generous. OK, I'll ask you now!”
Soon, manager Yang brought ten middle-aged men and said with a smile to Lian Fangzhou: ”no more, not too many, just ten people. How can I arrange this for you, Miss Lian?”
Lian Fangzhou told the ten men that he had filled the pond mud with bamboo baskets and moved them to the designated place on the bank to calculate once. She asked for a pen and paper and a simple table to count.
When they heard that a basket could make two pennies in vain, it was a good deal. After listening to her explanation, they agreed one after another, carrying the basket, holding the shovel, rolling up their trousers and sleeves, and went down the pond.
Lianze and Ajan carried the carts full of eight baskets. Lianze and a-chien drove the carts to the ground, and they lined up and piled them up on the ground.
These pond mud transported to the field can't be used. It has to be dried for several days before it can be used.
For two days in a row, 1000 baskets of pond mud were transported to the field.
Lian Fangzhou also asked people to spread out the pond mud, thin, so that it is easier to dry.
After the pond mud is finished, the next step is plant ash.
First, we organized these 30 people to mow the grass. The more miscellaneous the grass used to burn the ash, the better.
The more complex, the more comprehensive the various trace elements.
In Dafang village, there are many hills protruding from the plains or hills. Lian Fangzhou takes people to these slopes to mow grass.
Generally speaking, there are more kinds of grass on the mountain than on the flat land.
Thirty people and thirty scythes were waving. After half a day's work, the mowed grass was put in the field like a hill.
These grasses still need to be dried for two days. After the pond mud is put on, the grass ash is evenly sprinkled and mixed evenly.
These days, even Fangzhou, lianze and Ajan are busy with this work, including going to the construction site at the entrance of the village twice a day to have a look, until the weeds burning grass and wood ash are cut back, and finally they can rest for another two days.
