A small grinder was not expensive. Long Zaitian's dad only spent 200 yuan to buy it with the help of the Long family's connections in the county town. He even saw a small grinder in the market, which was hundreds of yuan more expensive than a small grinder. If he succeeded this time, he would buy all the machines he needed next time. He would rather suffer a loss than suffer a loss. This was what his great-grandfather casually said, which made sense.?
This time, it was relatively smooth. He connected an electric wire from the bedroom downstairs to the roof and plugged in the power cord. The machine operated smoothly and poured the refined ores into the mouth of the grinder. The machine suddenly made an ear-piercing sound. Long Zai Tian did not care. He focused on the discharge port and paid attention to the grinding effect of the grinder. It was not bad. The powder ground out was fine and uniform, and there were no large particles. He didn't know whether the pill refining waste residue particles produced by the nameless old priest were big or small. Without modern mechanical equipment, the waste residue that relied on the old priest's grinding wouldn't be small. He thought happily in his heart that perhaps the vegetables used for cultivation would be better than the ones produced by the nameless old priest. With the machinery in their hands, it was not difficult for Long Zai Tian and the others to do things smoothly. They took advantage of the excitement and added a few more formulas from the book. It would definitely be easier to do more experiments.
The vegetable seeds for the experiment had been chosen. They were lettuce that could be planted in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It was autumn now, so the temperature was more conducive to the growth of lettuce. According to the instructions for planting lettuce, the seeds were soaked for three to four hours. Long Zaitian saw that the " special fertilizer " was all powder, so he put a little into the soaking water and stirred it up. After the time was up, the lettuce seeds were wrapped in gauze and placed in the refrigerator at 5-10 ° C to accelerate the sprouting. After 4-5 days, 70-80% of the seeds could be sown when the white buds were exposed.
Long Zaitian would not wait for those 4-5 days. He took advantage of the time to take care of the vegetable garden. According to the book, every zhang (in ancient times, zhang was used to measure the land. Here, every zhang was counted as one zhang in length and width.) 10 feet =10 feet 1 meter =3 feet 10 feet ~3.3 meters), the "special fertilizer" would be used according to the corresponding area.
He divided the different proportions of the " special fertilizer " used in the experiment into different areas, stirred them evenly with the soil in the vegetable garden with a hoe, and then inserted the labeled bamboo chips. He waited for the seeds to finish accelerating their sprouting before sowing. After that, he went to the library to check what was needed during the growth of lettuce. He didn't know until he checked. After he checked, he found out that there were quite a lot of things.
According to the book, after the lettuce was brought to the vegetable garden, the seedling bed had to be watered. After sowing, it had to be covered with wheat straw. If there was a shade net, it was better to build a shed to shade it. When 60% to 70% of the seedlings were unearthed, the wheat straw had to be removed in time, but it still needed to be covered in shade to prevent the seedlings from dying under the high temperature. Long Zaitian saw that he did not know much about farming, so he let the elders do the rest.
Long Zaitian, who had become an idle person, was not really idle. Every day, he would go to the vegetable garden in the backyard to check the growth of the vegetable seedlings. From time to time, he would use his hand to measure the height, and from time to time, he would use his hand to open the leaves that had already been pushed out to observe the humidity of the soil. From time to time, he would check and compare the differences between the vegetable seedlings in each small person. Looking at the great vegetable garden, he felt an indescribable joy.
Day after day, everyone kept counting the days. It felt like a year had passed. Finally, on the 20th day, the Long family went to the vegetable garden to take a look. The vegetables there could not be called vegetable seedlings. The lettuce in each grid was growing happily. Between the 15 -20cm plant spacing, some grids had some gaps, and some grids had two lettuce growing tightly together. This was clearly the time to harvest the lettuce. It was 10 days earlier than the earliest 30 days in the book. This was simply a miracle.
The nameless old Taoist in the book even dared to call his cultivation method the Shennong Scripture. He sounded very arrogant, but the book was indeed as amazing as its name. It was worthy of the name Shennong. Most of the lettuce in each grid grew very evenly. Long Zaitian immediately pulled out a head of lettuce from each grid and weighed each head of lettuce with the hook scale that he had prepared beforehand.
The heaviest grid had 821 grams of lettuce, and the lightest grid had 560 grams of lettuce. Not only did it shorten the time, but the weight of a single vegetable was much higher than the 250-500 grams stated on the Internet.
Everyone calmed down their excitement. It was still the first step of the long journey. They were only planting vegetables. The next step was to find a secret place to grow ginseng and the like. It was also the most difficult step. As long as they persisted, they believed that they could create a beautiful tomorrow.
