Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 23

The land Wei Wei has chosen has already been turned over, but there is still a lot of preparation work before planting.

First of all, it is necessary to water, so that the soil maintains sufficient moisture so that the corn seeds can absorb enough water to expand and germinate, secondly, it is best to apply sufficient fertilizer to the ground to make the seeds grow faster after germination.

Wei Wei has no available fertilizer at the moment. Although it is not impossible to use pig, cow, and sheep manure to add a lot of water for blending, it is too fertile, it is easy to burn the seedlings and it is not easy to grasp. After thinking about it, Wei Wei directly chooses to let a few of The boys who helped go to the moat to fetch water to irrigate the ground.

After all, it is water that has been soaked in filth for an unknown number of years. Of course, there is some fertility in it, and after system certification, it is determined that there is no other pollution in it, so it is suitable to be used as a base fertilizer.

However, in this way, the watered ground has an unpleasant smell. Recently, the living environment in the Middle Ages has forced Wei Wei, who is not only unable to adapt to it but has become more and more in the direction of cleanliness. Wei Wei can't stand this smell. , I simply secretly took the silver needles used for acupuncture and temporarily blocked my sense of smell.

When it comes to this silver needle, it is a gift from Wei Wei's medical skills, just like her sewing kit for sewing, it is provided by a caring system.

"What should I have done." She murmured to herself in a low voice. She lost her sense of smell and felt refreshed.

It's a pity that it can't be blocked for too long, otherwise, it may cause some adverse effects, otherwise, she would have blocked her sense of smell every day.

Compared with Wei Wei, several of the children who helped are very used to this kind of taste.

The well-watered land was very wet, Wei Wei took a hatchet swiped the ground again, and easily created a ditch five or six centimeters deep.

To facilitate later transplanting, in the absence of a seedling tray, before planting corn, it is necessary to divide the land into grids of suitable size, so that when the corn seedlings grow out, they will be transplanted together with the soil underneath. , it is much more convenient.

Wei Wei's grid size is very standard, the length and width are about five centimeters, and it is appropriate to put two corners in each grid.

She landed on the ground with a kitchen knife, and the two youngest children followed, put corn kernels in the grid, and pressed it lightly.

When all the corn kernels are in place, then cover the entire field with a layer of soil, and the corn seeds are ready to be planted.

Wei Wei also found a way to raise corn seedlings, which is to first prepare thin mud, roll it into a mud ball of suitable size, use the burned grass ash to make a hole in the middle, put the corn kernels in it, and place it on the ground to cover it. Soil, which is more convenient for transplanting, but rubbing mud **** is time-consuming and laborious, Wei Wei simply chose a more labor-saving method.

Originally, after planting, we should use bamboo strips to make an arched shelf and cover it with plastic film to keep it warm, but there is no plastic film here. Wei Wei directly took a dry straw and spread a layer on the surface, which can also play a role in keeping warm.

On the other side of the land where sweet potatoes are going to be planted, the three older children have dug a shallow long hook according to Wei Wei's request, and are placing the pocket-sized sweet potatoes flat inside according to Wei Wei's instructions. All sweet potatoes are oriented in the same direction and very well organized.
