Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 336 Composting Success

"There's no rush to plant corn. The most important thing now is to tidy up the paddy fields. I see the seedlings are growing rapidly these days, and it won't be long before we can start transplanting them." Xu Han said.

"Then let's start cultivating the paddy fields tomorrow. The paddy fields have been drained of water for a while, so it's just the right time to cultivate them."

"The first batch of fertilizer has been turned over five times and is ready to be used. Tomorrow morning we will go and pull the manure back and spread it in the paddy fields. When the cows are plowing the fields, we can bury it directly and use it as base fertilizer." Xu Han said.

"Okay, let's go haul manure together tomorrow."

"I won't go. You guys go. I'll look after the child at home. You'd be worried if the child wakes up and can't find anyone." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Grandpa Zhao is right. I didn't think it through. No matter how well-behaved the child is, he is still young and cannot be separated from adults." Lu Chuan said, scratching his head embarrassedly.

Then I began to reflect on myself. I have been busy with work recently and have always neglected my children. I should spend more time with my children in the future and not think about things in the field all day long.

"Yes, then let's set out early tomorrow to collect manure before the sun comes out. Otherwise, it will be too hot after breakfast and we won't be able to do much work." Xu Han suggested.

"Okay, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Although the temperature is just right now, the sun will not be comfortable at noon. Let's work early and come back for a nap when the sun is high." The Taoist priest agreed.

"Wife, I'll call you to get up tomorrow." Lu Chuan said with a malicious smile.

Xu Han didn't even bother to pay attention to Lu Chuan and just rolled her eyes at him.

It acted as if she was so lazy. Recently, there was work to do at home, but Xu Han was very conscious and didn't sleep in at all.

"The sweet potato seedlings are now firmly established. We only sprinkled some wood ash at the beginning. We can apply some fertilizer tomorrow and use up all of this batch of compost and make more compost later." Grandpa Zhao reminded.

"Okay, don't worry, we will bring back all the compost tomorrow and apply fertilizer to the potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables in the garden." Lu Chuan responded.

"Well, just keep it in mind. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up consciously, cleaned up the house, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Have a good night's sleep...

The next day, just after dawn, Lu Chuan called Xu Han, "Wife, get up. Let's go over there and get the compost."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Han sat up and shook his head, forcing himself to be more sober.

After resting for a while, he got up, put on his clothes, and followed Lu Chuan out of the room.

When the two came out, the Taoist priest had already finished washing up. Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly quickened her washing up. The three of them followed Wei and slowly walked towards the fertilizer pile.

After arriving at the place, Lu Chuan opened the compost pile, grabbed a handful of compost and said, "This fertilizer looks really good, the color is very black, and it is very soft. It must be very effective."

The Taoist priest also grabbed a handful of compost, looked at it again and again and said, "It really worked. I didn't expect it to be so simple. A little manure can be turned into such a large pile of fertilizer. It doesn't take long, and the materials are everywhere. This is really great.

This composting method is truly beneficial to the people and the country.

If everyone learns how to make compost, won’t the crops in the fields grow better? Then the harvest will definitely be good, and the people will be able to have enough food to eat.”

Xu Han immediately understood what the Taoist priest meant and did not respond.

Instead, he said, "Although there is more fertilizer now, we don't know how effective it is. Let's give it a try first. When we get home, we can add some compost to the vegetables in the garden. Then we can make a comparison and see if it really works."

Xu Han thought that although she knew the effect of what she made, this was ancient times after all, so it was better to be cautious.

Xu Han did not object to the Taoist priest making this matter public. After all, it was about agriculture, and the people would be the ultimate beneficiaries. Xu Han also wanted to do his best to help the people at the bottom of society.

But when you think about the fact that this is a society where imperial power is supreme, you should be more careful.

We have to wait until a conclusion is reached before we talk about anything else, and let the Taoist priest see for himself how effective this fertilizer is.

Although Xu Han believed that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao would definitely protect her if something really happened, Xu Han still wanted to be extra careful.

When the Taoist priest heard what Xu Han said, he had nothing else to understand, and immediately said with a smile, "Yes, yes, the girl is right. Let's try it first to see how effective the fertilizer is. Hahahaha, I didn't expect it? It really worked."

Lu Chuan was also amazed, and the three of them circled around the pile of fertilizer again and again.

If the composting is successful, there will be no shortage of manure at home in the future, even if we have more land.

"Let's pack these up and transport them back home first." Xu Han said.

"Okay, load it on the cart first. When it's full, I'll send it over and come back to pull it later." said the Taoist priest.

"You don't have to pull it. Isn't there a torn tarpaulin here? We can put it on the torn tarpaulin and I will put it directly into the space."

"Can the things in that space still be eaten? Will they become smelly?" The Taoist priest looked at Xu Han with doubt.

"No, these manures are no longer smelly and have no smell. Besides, time is still in this space, so don't worry, the smell won't spread. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do this." Xu Han explained.

But the Taoist priest already had an expression of unwillingness on his face. He always felt that the space was filled with food. If he put manure in it, it would feel weird and he felt really uncomfortable.

Seeing that the Taoist priest didn't say anything, Xu Han turned to look at Lu Chuan on the side. Seeing that Lu Chuan had the same expression, she said, "Well, let's pull it little by little. It's not far anyway."

In fact, Xu Han was also a little disgusted. After all, these were all shits, and they were particularly smelly some time ago.

"Okay, let's start loading manure." Lu Chuan said and started loading manure.

There were three of us, each using a shovel. We worked very quickly and soon the whole cart was full.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest went to deliver the manure, while Xu Han stayed here waiting for them.

After working hard for a whole morning, the three of them finally managed to transport all the manure back to the wasteland.

When Xu Han came back with them on the last trip, she saw piles of manure in the paddy fields, in the sweet potato and potato fields, and even next to the vegetable fields.
