Chapter 665: Not Enough Fertilizer
The old man thought for a while and said, "As for excrement, there are people in the city who collect night incense. As for where they dump it, I don't know. As for other dirty things, there are people in the government office who collect them. After collecting them, the good ones are taken outside and buried in a pit, and the bad ones are directly dumped in a ditch.
When we were escorting, especially when we were in a big city, we encountered many such scenes. It was stinking and dirty everywhere. It was impossible to step foot."
The more Zhou Guo listened, the brighter his eyes became. He laughed out loud, "I know. I know what to do. Master, you are amazing. How do you know so much?"
In a good mood, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go back early."
The old man looked confused. Hearing that he was leaving again, he couldn't help but say, "It's fine if you don't tell me what you're thinking, but we just finished our meal. Even if you're excited, can't you let me take a break?"
Zhou Guo smiled awkwardly and said, "You take a break, and I'll take a break too."
After saying that, he lay down again. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, all kinds of wild thoughts came into his mind. How could he feel sleepy at all?
If you can’t sleep, just sit up and sort out your thoughts.
When she returned to the village, she pulled the food to the farm and hurried home without even setting foot.
As soon as he got home, he locked himself in the room without saying a word to anyone, and sat at the desk until dark. Dozens of densely packed papers piled up into a thick stack.
He carefully pressed the papers with a paperweight, stretched himself, opened the door and went out.
In the living room, the family was talking. When they saw her coming out, they said happily, "It's time for dinner."
"It's finally time to eat. My stomach has been growling for a long time."
Everyone in the room started to move.
Zhou Guo was surprised and asked, "Why haven't you eaten yet? It's already dark."
Li said, "I was just wondering, you locked yourself in the room as soon as you came back, and didn't say anything. We didn't know what was going on, and we were shocked. Wu Jiang came to look for you many times, but you didn't come out."
The old man said, "If you don't come out, who will have the heart to eat? Come, eat, eat slowly and talk slowly."
In just a moment, the originally empty kang table was filled with food.
Everyone had a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of them.
After the old man took a bite, everyone started eating in silence.
Zhou Guo said: "Next time if I'm late, you guys can eat first and leave some for me. You can't go hungry with me no matter what you do."
No one answered; everyone was busy eating.
Zhou Su did find time to look up at her, but his mouth was full and his cheeks were so bulging that he couldn't free his mouth to speak.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to say, "Eat first and stop talking."
Zhou Su lowered his head obediently and ate with big mouthfuls of delicious food. It was really uncomfortable to be hungry.
Halfway through the meal, everyone had enough food in their stomachs and had the energy to talk.
Li said, "Didn't you go to collect grain? Why is it not going well?"
Zhou Guo said: "It went smoothly. I went there with my master. The harvest in that village has not been completed yet. We have to go there again tomorrow."
He said and glanced at the old man.
The old man said, "Don't look at me. They didn't ask me if everything was going well."
Li smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhou Xing asked: "Then why do you lock yourself in the room?"
Zhou Guo then told the story of today's grain harvest. "I think Master is right. They have tasted the sweetness this year. Next year, there will definitely be more people coming to the fertilizer farm to ask for fertilizer. Now I can barely hold on, but when the demand increases next year, I will definitely need more fertilizer to ferment. I'm afraid I won't be able to supply it by then. I have to make plans early."
This, the family doesn’t quite understand.
Zhou Gu said, "Doesn't composting just require dead branches, rotten leaves, cow dung, and urine? There's plenty of them, they're everywhere, right?"
Yeah, everyone else looked at her.
Zhou Guo said: "I also want to change the method of composting. These are not enough."
Zhou Mai asked: "What else do you need? Where can I get it?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I plan to go to various county towns and prefectures to collect them directly from the government offices. After they are sorted, they can be used directly. Some can be used to make fertilizer, and some can be used to feed chickens and crabs. If there are too many, I can raise a few pigs on the farm so that there will be no waste."
Everyone in the room fell silent when they heard this. If this were the case, it would really be a very profitable business.
The old man said, "You have to think clearly. Dealing with the government is no joke. Even if you take these useless things from them, you will be skinned alive."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I understand, Master. I don't deal with the government, I deal with the minions below. I can't handle the big ones, but can I handle the small ones? It's all about money. Otherwise, I can just go to the residents and collect the ashes for free, can't I?"
She also thought clearly that Feizhuang was not very big at the moment, and she knew the prefect of Yunzhou Prefecture, so there would be no problem. The city of Yunzhou could support several counties.
After hearing what she said, everyone was still a little worried, but when they thought of Zhou Dacang in the military camp, they inexplicably felt a little more confident.
Their family is no longer poor, and some of them are officials, so they don't have to be afraid of the minions.
Before the meal was over, Wu Jiang was shouting outside the door.
Zhou Guo quickly finished the rice in his bowl, took a steamed bun with some vegetables and meat, and then got off the kang, "Brother, come with me."
Zhou Gu had already finished eating, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Su made another one for her, stuffed a lot of braised beef in it, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Sister, this, this, I stuffed a lot of meat in it, eat it on the way."
Zhou Guo took it with a smile, "Okay, you guys take your time eating, I'll be back soon."
He said and walked out the door.
Li looked at her from behind and sighed, "How busy she is. She has to go out even when it's completely dark."
The old man said, "There's no way. She's their master. If she doesn't go, the work won't be done."
Li said, "I know."
I just feel a little sad.
Zhou Su said, "Mom, don't be like this. There are so many people who want to be the boss but can't. My sister is enjoying it. I think if you let her stay at home like you, she will get bored."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Li also laughed. After thinking about it, it was true. "Then he is not someone who can stay at home. He would rather not stay at home for a day."
Zhou Guo held a steamed bun in each hand, and Zhou Gu also held one for her. Wu Jiang followed with a lantern, talking about the results of the day's grain harvest.
"Everything is going well. The autumn harvest is much better than in previous years. Some people who know how to farm have bought more fertilizer. One mu of top-quality land has yielded nearly seven or eight more dou of fertilizer than last year!"
Zhou Guo paused and asked in surprise, "Who is it? So powerful?"
