Chapter 1112 Experimenting with Guano
The man from Sunjia Village happily put the silver into his pocket. Some of them were afraid of losing it, so they put it in Sun Shan’s warehouse and asked Sun Dingnan to write a note for him so that he could withdraw money with the note when he needed it.
Seeing everyone so happy, Sun Shan was also very happy at first.
But when I saw that the silver in the warehouse suddenly became so much less, I became unhappy.
Compensation was paid, rewards were given, and after all the operations, the original 350 taels plus a jade pendant worth 50 taels was now reduced to only 50 or taels plus a jade pendant worth taels.
Emma, once again, we are back to the days before liberation. It is not easy to make money, but spending money is like water.
Sun Shan couldn't help feeling depressed.
As time goes by, Sun Shan's guano experimental base has a batch of successfully fermented guano.
Sun Shan hurriedly ran out to the suburbs to check, and touched it with his hand. It was exactly the same as the bird droppings in his mind after successful fermentation.
I just don’t know what the effect will be.
Since there are currently no auxiliary chemical products, there is no "multi-functional rapid deodorizing fermentation agent for manure water and feces".
Sun Shan adopts the most primitive production method.
First, place the collected bird droppings in the sun to dry. If there is not enough sunlight, you can steam and sterilize them.
Bird droppings contain parasites and insect eggs. The first step is to eliminate the harmful organisms in the bird droppings.
After being exposed to the sun, add a small amount of water, rice bran, weeds, straw and other crude fiber organic materials to mix and adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio.
Generally, one part of guano is mixed with 1-2 parts of crude fiber organic material.
Then dig a big hole, put the mixed bird droppings in it, and then seal it for fermentation.
Such sealed fermentation will generate high temperature.
The high temperature once again removes the insect eggs and bacteria in the bird droppings, and transforms these insect eggs and bacteria into high-quality organic fertilizer.
Of course, if you add EM bacteria and brown sugar, not only will the fermentation speed be faster, but the fermented guano will also have better effect.
It’s a pity that there are no chemicals here. As for brown sugar, it is so precious and so expensive that even if Sun Shan is a prodigal son, he would never add brown sugar to the bird droppings.
If you want to ferment quickly, you can control the temperature artificially. It will take a month to ferment at about 20 degrees.
If it is fermented naturally, it will take about 2 months or more.
These days, Sun Shan is busy with official duties while guiding the men in Sunjia Village to make guano.
After a long period of natural fermentation, the finished product is finally available.
Sun Shan looked at the successfully fermented guano with satisfaction and said happily, "Uncle Dali, you did a great job."
Sun Dali scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, we all did it according to the master's instructions. Hehe, it's because the master is smart that we did it."
The master is really smart. He even knows how to turn bird droppings into fertilizer for fields.
Emma, what's wrong with your brain? It's just different from others.
At first, Sun Dali and his group didn't understand what kind of fertilizer they would get. After Sun Shan's guidance, they did it step by step according to Sun Shan's requirements. In the end, they got fertilizer that looked like fertilizer, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
Sun Dali said excitedly: "Master, you said that these bird droppings can fertilize the fields and can make the fields produce many more buckets of rice. If the people's fields can use these fertilizers, wouldn't they be able to harvest a lot more rice?"
Emma, this is incredible. If one mu of land can produce five more dou of rice, then a family can have a lot more rice.
Emma, there are so many bird droppings in the back mountain of Big Bird Village. We can dig and dig for a long time and make a lot of fertilizer.
As long as it is used reasonably and carefully, Yuanlu County can be used for a long time.
What's more, it has always been a gathering place for birds, which produces a steady supply of bird droppings.
Emma, this is amazing. This way we will have endless fertilizer.
If Sun Shan knew Sun Dali's simple idea, he would definitely shake his head.
The mining of bird droppings will affect the migration of birds at any time. Perhaps due to human interference, the birds will not choose to defecate there.
Although Sun Shan knew that digging bird droppings there would destroy the birds' migration environment, the back mountain of Da Niao Village would no longer produce bird droppings continuously.
But we cannot not develop the area just to protect the migratory environment for birds.
Sun Shan chose to be a short-sighted person.
First use bird droppings to earn your first pot of gold, and then use the first pot of gold to develop other businesses.
Let’s leave the future to future generations.
Sun Shan doesn't want to look that far ahead, he just wants to focus on the present.
After obtaining the first batch of bird droppings, Sun Shan conducted experiments.
After all, whether these bird droppings can be used as fertilizer is still a matter of imagination, and there is no experimental group to control it.
Only through rigorous practice can real results be achieved.
Sun Shan said to Sun Dali, "Uncle Dali, you should make three identical plots of land and plant the same vegetables here."
One piece of land was given no fertilizer, one piece of land was planted as usual with normal fertilizer, and one piece of land was fertilized with bird droppings according to the season.
Sun Shan moved Sun Dingnan over again and asked him to record carefully every time he used the bird droppings.
Sun Dali is capable, but unfortunately he is illiterate and has no ability to take notes, so he has to ask Sun Dingnan to come and help follow up.
Sun Shan recalled the people around him. Only Sun Dingnan, Gui Ge'er and Shiye could read, while the rest were illiterate or semi-illiterate.
After several months of teaching, no one could stand out and learn to read. The teaching speed was extremely slow.
Sun Dali said ashamedly: "Master, I don't know why my brain is so bad. I can't recognize all the words, let alone write them. Alas, I have caused trouble for you."
Speaking of diligence, Sun Dali was indeed very diligent in studying and learning to read, but like the other dragons in his family, he was a poor student in college.
When you repeat a word over and over again, you may recognize it at first, but forget it after two days.
After repeatedly recognizing the characters, other men had already recognized a page, but Sun Dali could only recognize one line.
My literacy rate is far behind that of everyone else.
Sun Dali was also distressed. He wanted to replace Sun Dingnan.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
His abilities did not match his ideas, and reading and literacy were a major obstacle for Sun Dali.
Sun Shan comforted him, "Uncle Dali, it's okay, take your time. Let's use the most stupid method to learn to read. Just study one character a day. As long as the days are long enough, you will definitely be able to recognize all the characters."
Sun Shan couldn't think of any other solution except to comfort her.
With the same teacher and the same teaching method, Sun Dali is lagging behind others.
People have different brains. Some are good at these things, and some are good at those things.
Perhaps Sun Dali is just not good at reading and writing.
Thinking about the few bone-melting dragons that stayed in Sunjia Village, they were also college losers. It seems that we can't blame those guys. They have completely inherited Sun Dali's brains and are born unable to read and write.
In the past, she was often beaten by Sun Dali because of her poor literacy. Now it seems that she was more wronged than Dou E.
A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. This is completely a case of sowing and reaping. He inherited Sun Dali's brain, so no matter how hard these guys try, it will be in vain.
Sun Dali looked at Sun Shan in distress, then at Sun Dingnan, thinking that he must study very hard and learn to read by drilling a hole in the wall to steal light when he returns, and he must replace Sun Dingnan!
