[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 70.3 — Chicken Droppings??!

[Oh wow, is our Momo wearing the same clothes as these older sisters?]

[We can’t say they are alike, we can only say they are exactly the same.]

[Hahaha, I didn’t know, you can actually wear clothes like this.]

[No wonder Momo’s outfit looked familiar to me. Here’s the look she was going for!]

[This is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless farmer older sisters! Hahaha.]

… …

Here, seeing the aunts in front of her dressed in the same clothes as herself, Lin Momo was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, holding her pants and showing it off to them, “Our pants are the same!”

“It really is… ” Looking at the standard attire of the child in front of them, the older sisters were also a little surprised.

“What is this? Did you find a child laborer to work with us?” one of the older sisters asked jokingly.

Lin Momo quickly shook her head and explained, “I am not a child laborer, but I can help farm with you.”

Lin Momo’s serious words made everyone present laugh.

At this time, Xu Yi pointed to one of the older sisters and introduced her to Lin Cheng, “This is Sister Liu. She is mainly responsible for managing the land on our farm. She is usually responsible for arranging the work of the other 8 people. farming, daily work, fertilizing, watering, pest control, and final harvesting… she has rich experience in this area.”

Lin Cheng nodded and greeted the other party.

After Sister Liu arranged for the others to go back to work, she came over to Lin Cheng to explain the current situation in more detail.

“The lettuce planted over there—more than 10 acres—they’re all rotten and useless by now. There is also a plot of celery over there that is now inedible. We will clear those fields later and leave them for a few days. Then plant something else to nourish the soil.”

“In addition, there are dozens of acres of winter melons and more than ten acres of potatoes in the east, and the edamame beans and eggplants in the northeast—they’re all ready for harvest, Same with the watermelons over there. You can still push it back a little for now, but they will rot if you wait longer.”

“How long can it be kept?” Lin Cheng asked.

“Those that are ripe must be harvested immediately in the next few days, and the remaining ones that are growing slower will have to be harvested in a few weeks,” Sister Liu replied.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded and said to Sister Liu, “Then please do your best and collect the ripened produce first.”

After that, Lin Cheng looked at Xu Yi again, “For now, pack the first batch of vegetables harvested into boxes and put them in a warehouse for cooling and fresh storage.”

“Okay,” Xu Yi agreed, and then raised a point, “However, there are only two temperature-controlled warehouses available on the farm at present. It should be no problem to store one or two batches of vegetables. But the storage space would definitely not be enough if we plan to put all the vegetables that will eventually be harvested.

“There still has to be a market for these,” Xu Yi sighed.

Unfortunately, the farm’s initial produce output did not meet the long-term supply standards of supermarkets. Neither could it be sold at retail in the nearby villages—and the cost of establishing their own sales chain was too high. This was one of the reasons why the farm could not continue to operate as intended.

Lin Cheng stared at the vegetables on the ground in front of him and thought about it for a moment. Then he said, “For now, take the harvested melons and vegetables for inspection. I will think of what to do next.”

Lin Cheng turned his attention to Lin Momo who was standing a short distance away.

At this time, several farm workers had already resumed what they were doing.

This morning, several people had turned over this piece of soil. At this time, several older sisters were mixing a pile of dirt-like things into the field.

Lin Momo was helping. Carrying her own small bucket and small trowel, she would dig up some of the ‘dirt’ mixture and spread it around on the soil like the others were doing.

Lin Momo’s movements were not what one would call fast, but you could see that she was very serious about it.

Lin Cheng walked closer and looked for a while, then looked to some of the other older sisters and asked, “What are you adding to the soil?”

“This?” One older sister shook the bag in her hand and explained, “This is a decomposition agent, we mix it to the chicken manure to speed up the breakdown. This is also has the effect of deodorizing and eliminating harmful effects.”

“We already mixed that pile over there when we came here early in the morning. Those chickens that were in the farm before, their poop has already turned lumpy. But if you add this, you don’t have to wait. It will be done in just half a day. It also won’t smell—see, there’s no smell left,” the older sister chatting with Lin Cheng while working.

There used to be chickens in the farm. The chickens were all long sold off, but the manure was left all over the ground.

The older brothers and sisters who came to farm early in the morning saw them and gathered them up.

Lin Cheng: “…”

Lin Momo, who had just finished spreading a bucket of chicken droppings in the soil and was returning to the pile to get another bucket full of chicken droppings: “???”

Lin Momo was frozen in place and asked with a tangled expression, “You said this… this is chicken poop?”

The older sister quickly gave Lin Momo an affirmative answer, “Yes, it’s chicken shit.”

Another older sister on the side also smiled and agreed, “This is good stuff. It can be used from compound fertilizer to farmyard fertilizer. The chemical ones are not as good as the fertilizer made from chicken droppings. The nutrients are balanced. In the words of you city people, the vegetables grown in chicken shit are healthy, green, eco-friendly, and organic vegetables…”

The eldest sister said it enthusiastically, not paying attention to where her feet stepped at all.

Lin Momo, who happened to be stepping on the pile of chicken shit, was completely frozen at this moment.
