Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 370 Plan to Cultivate Seedlings

"The lady leaned to the left and struck hard with her right elbow, and the gangster was knocked to the ground in an instant."

Chunzhi coughed twice and said with a suppressed smile, "But, Brother Ale, I look at your ear... Is it okay?"

Hearing Chunzhi's reminder, An Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Ah Le explained with a guilty conscience: "This... This happened when I was dueling with that gangster and he grabbed my ear by accident."

Upon hearing this, several people covered their mouths and laughed.

Ale said unhappily: "Well, then...the bandits didn't gain any advantage!"

An Yue couldn't help but add: "That's right, you bit my arm tightly and you wouldn't let go."

The few of them laughed even louder.

"I never knew that Alege was so cruel!" Chunzhi laughed and covered her mouth while coughing.

Meng Xiuer smiled and turned to ask An Yue: "Yueyue, are you really not injured?"

An Yue turned around on the spot and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm really not hurt."

Meng Xiuer patted her chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily you are not injured. Yueyue, you must never go out alone in the future. If something happens to you, how will our family survive!"

An Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I will be more careful in the future."

After she finished speaking, the smile on An Yue's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep feeling of powerlessness.

She said helplessly: "We escaped this time. But what if other villagers encounter us?"

Meng Xiuer sighed and said, "Ah! What can ordinary people like us do? We are just unlucky."

"In the final analysis, it is the inaction of those officials that has allowed the bandits to be so arrogant that they dare to rob openly in the town." An Yue couldn't help but complain.

Meng Xiuer quickly made a gesture to silence An Yue and said, "Yueyue, let's just talk about this at home. You must be careful with your words and actions outside!"

An Yue walked up to Meng Xiu'er and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Yueyue knows this!"

An Yue suddenly discovered that Chunzhi was not wearing a mask, and then she thought that Meng Xiuer was pregnant and was not suitable for taking the antiviral medicine. If she was infected, it would be troublesome.

She quickly reminded him, "Chunzhi, you must wear your mask properly, and don't let my sister-in-law be infected with the disease."

"Okay, okay, Haruji will put on the mask right away."

After saying this, Harue turned and walked towards her room.

Meng Xiuer patted An Yue's arm and said, "Yueyue, it's already noon. You and A'le should just take a rest. I'll go prepare lunch."

An Yue said "hmm" and nodded.

An Nian on the side said quickly: "I'll go and help pass the firewood."

After saying that, An Nian and his sister-in-law Meng Xiu'er walked towards the kitchen one after another.

An Yue opened all the corn seeds in the basket and checked them. They were all of very good quality.

She murmured happily, "Finally, there are corn seeds."

An Yue turned to Ale who was drinking water in the main hall and said, "Ale, let's start cultivating corn seedlings in the next two days."

"Well, okay!" Ale responded, and then walked towards the tool shed.

An Yue watched him take the backpack and asked quickly, "Ale, where are you going?"

"Since there is not much pig grass left at home, I will go to the nearby area to cut some pig grass."

"Ale, you just came back from town, you should take a rest for a while! It won't be too late to cut the crops in the afternoon."

"No, no, cutting grass for pigs is not tiring." After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the yard carrying the basket on his back.

At this moment, An Yue looked at A'er's receding back, her heart filled with warmth.

......

An Yue poured all the corn seeds she bought into a winnowing basket and spread them out in the yard to dry.

Then she turned around and went back to her room to change her sweat-soaked clothes.

As she changed her clothes, she was thinking that before planting corn, she had to cultivate the corn seedlings first.

Then she remembered that when she was a child in the 21st century, she saw her grandfather growing corn seedlings.

There are various ways to cultivate it, including using the grid cultivation method, the mud ball cultivation method, and directly sowing it in the soil.

In this era, there are no easy seedling grids.

But if you want a good harvest, you must control every step.

The first step is to select the best varieties, and then choose the methods to cultivate corn seedlings.

The current situation is special, and there are not many seeds. If the harvest is not good, we will really go hungry in the second half of the year.

An Yue carefully weighed the pros and cons of several breeding methods in her mind.

From the perspective of simplicity and ease, the simplest method of sowing is definitely to sow the seeds directly in the ground.

But this method is the least reliable. If you sow the seeds directly in the ground, half of the wild animals in the ground will definitely be destroyed.

Considering the limited amount of corn seeds we have now, we cannot afford to waste any of them.

In order to make it easier to water and care for the vegetables, An Yue decided to use the mud ball cultivation method in the yard vegetable garden.

The mud ball is more convenient and easier to survive when transplanting and planting.

After she changed her clothes, she came out of the room and went for a stroll in the vegetable garden in the yard.

He walked around, then squatted on the edge of the ground, thinking in his mind.

The plan is to start soaking the seeds tonight, and tomorrow morning, the family will start preparing wood ash and fine mud.

When the seeds are almost fully soaked, roll them into a mud ball and press the soaked corn seeds into the mud ball.

Finally, cover with fine soil, sprinkle with water to ensure the soil is moist, and wait quietly for germination.

An Yue squatted beside the vegetable patch and thought for a long time, then stood up and prepared to go back to the house.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer's voice came from the kitchen: "Lunch is ready."

"Okay." An Yue responded and went to wash her hands on the bluestone slab.

At this time, Da Niu's grandmother and aunt came back from the fields.

My aunt put down her hoe and looked at the corn seeds in the winnowing basket. She said excitedly, "Oh my God! I really bought corn seeds!"

Chunzhi said: "In order to buy this seed, the young lady and Alege were almost stopped by robbers."

The aunt walked forward and asked with concern: "Yueyue, are you okay?"

"No problem!" After saying that, An Yue walked towards the kitchen.

Just at this moment, A'er came back with a basket full of pig grass.

......

After lunch, the family went back to their room to take a nap.

An Yue turned over the corn seeds that were drying in the winnowing basket in the yard, then went back to her room to rest.

She was lying on the bed with her account book.

The family has a total of seven acres of land, two acres of which are already planted with various vegetables and taro, leaving five acres for growing corn.

She calculated carefully that one acre of land would require about five kilograms of corn seeds, and she currently had sixty kilograms of corn seeds.

My family currently needs to use six bags of corn seeds, but there are still six bags of corn seeds left. What should I do with them?
