Chapter 170 Natural and Man-made Disasters 1
This period of time was really fulfilling. I don’t know whether the day started at dawn or in the evening.
In the afternoon, when the sun sets, I go to the fields to pick peas and peas. It’s almost dark before I pick enough to sell the next day. Peas and peas are also starting to come on the market in large quantities. If it’s not a weekend, I basically have to pick them twice a day.
If it is a weekend and my brothers help pick it, I only need to make one trip. When I pick it back, I also put it in the back of my armor, but only put it into my pocket early the next morning. I put it in three bags, each bag weighing an average of more than 60 kilograms.
Three bags is almost close to two hundred kilograms, but less than two hundred kilograms.
Add enough air to the 28-bar. Hang one bag on the left and right sides of the rear wheel, and place one bag horizontally on the seat frame. It is a little difficult to slide the bicycle just now. While it is sliding, take advantage of the seat and kick your feet.
When you pedal, you have inertia and it becomes easier to ride. It doesn't take much effort.
When I got to the market, I didn't sell at retail. I just "pile-sold" it to the dealers all at once. Because I was already familiar with it, they no longer "played with the scale". The price of the "pile-sale" slowly dropped from three to five.
It's 28 cents. I count around 50 yuan every day and quickly return it.
After going home and having breakfast, I picked up the hoe and went to the field to "pack the grain poles." Although the land had been plowed by Master Niu, the soil at this time was very large, and the large pieces needed to be removed with the hoe.
The soil is broken into small pieces, and the professional word is very vivid - beat Tuba.
When the Tuba was struck, one had to "dig out the ditch". To "dig out the ditch", one had to use a wide-blade hoe to dig out ditches from the land where the Tuba was struck. Then the stacked grain poles were buried in the ditch.
Use it as "base fertilizer". If there is feces in your home, you need to use it at this time.
Catch the manure with your hands and put it on the corn stalks to increase fertility. If there is no manure, you need to apply more phosphate fertilizer. Some people with good economic conditions will also apply some potassium fertilizer. But usually only phosphate fertilizer is used.
That’s it.
Dig out the trench, bury the pole, sprinkle some phosphate fertilizer and then cover it with soil. Then use a hoe to smooth it. The width is about a foot or so of soil. This is just the basic preparation.
After making the basic preparations, it depends on the weather. The best weather is when it rains and then clears up. At this time, you must seize the opportunity and quickly cover the film on the flat soil platform first. Then use a hoe
Get the soil on both sides and press the two sides of the film tightly. This process is called "stretching the film".
After the film is stretched, use a hoe to make holes on both sides of the edge of the soil platform covered with the film at intervals of about twenty centimeters. Then put two or three grain-coated seeds soaked in pesticides into the soil holes - "
Throw the seeds”.
After throwing away the seeds, use a hoe to gently dig out some soil and cover it. At this time, the soil cover should be neither thin nor thick. If the cover is thin, mice and the like will eat the seeds.
, on the other hand, seedlings can easily be killed by the sun when they grow;
If the cover is thick, the germination of the seeds will be affected. Firstly, the germination will be slow, and secondly, they will be easily buried in the sun and suffocated in the soil. If it does not rain for a long time, the soil cover is not suitable, which will cause consequences.
That can be said to be "catastrophic".
These tasks usually require the cooperation of three to five people. For example, one person presses the film first, and another person pulls the film in front and walks backwards to cover the film on the soil platform.
One person uses a hoe to dig out soil from both sides of the soil platform to cover the edges of the film. This person also walks backwards. The advantage of this is that two people pull the film together, and the film can be slightly straightened and elongated. Stretching is key.
, because some film can be saved. But
Yes, there is still a certain skill. The key is to master the strength. If the strength is too small, it will not have the effect of stretching. If the strength is too strong, the film will be broken. In this way, more film will be buried at the joint, which will cause
Wasteful. The fourth person digs a hole with a hoe, and the fifth person puts the seeds. The fourth person waits for the fifth person to put the seeds into the hole, then digs out the soil with a hoe and covers it. If this is done in one go, the efficiency is the highest. However, manpower
If it's not enough, you have to make some changes.
Because my brothers have to study, I can only do the most basic things first. The things that need cooperation can only be left to them until the weekend. When planting grains, they usually work separately, and each family is busy with their own work.
It’s almost as good as breaking the bag.
I did some work in the fields in the morning and in the afternoon. I have almost picked the beans and peas. The remaining ones are smaller and grow at the end. The rapeseed has also begun to bulge. Wait until it turns green.
The yellow can be cut and dried in the fields. After it is dried, it can be harvested after it does not rain on the weekend.
It’s been a busy day. The season is here, and it’s time to raise seedlings.
Seedlings are usually grown in the vegetable plot in front of and behind the house for easy care. First, turn over the soil in the vegetable plot to make a "seedling bed". Clean the vegetable roots, weeds and gravel in the soil. Then
The soil is beaten very, very finely. How fine should it be? Anyway, the finer the better. After finessing, make a very, very flat soil platform about 1.5 meters wide and 89 meters long, and sprinkle some clean soil on it.
water, the "seedling bed" is ready.
After it is done, you need to carry the soaked grain seeds, manure residue, glutinous rice, cereal grass, and film into the ground and prepare it. The manure residue is much finer than that of rapeseed. It has been blasted in the sun and made very, very fine.
The dung residue and glutinous rice and grass that have been screened through a sieve have also been blasted in the sun, beaten to remove impurities and dust, and soaked in clean well water.
First, spread the grain seeds evenly on the "seedling bed", then evenly spread the carefully prepared manure residue, then evenly cover it with glutinous rice straw, and finally cover it with a film. Because the area is relatively large, the wind is afraid of blowing the film.
If it blows open or is damaged, carefully place some small clods of soil on the film.
After the grain is cultivated, it must be carefully cared for. Observe once every morning, noon and evening. If the humidity is low, water should be sprinkled in time. If the humidity is high, the film must be peeled off to drain away some water vapor. After a few days, the millet will be removed from the stool.
When small "pointy heads" appear in the slag, the frequency of observation should be increased. When the "pointy heads" grow to one to two centimeters, peel off the film and remove the glutinous rice and grass, and then use
Arched bamboo poles are inserted evenly about one meter apart on both sides of the "seedling bed" for support, and then the film is covered on the bamboo arch frame.
It is still necessary to strengthen observation every day. In the morning and night, sprinkle water appropriately according to the soil moisture. At noon, especially at noon when the sun is strong, you must open both ends of the film to ventilate to prevent the seedlings from being smoldering. If it rains or winds, you must
Cover with film to prevent rain and frostbite.
At the same time, we must also take time to plow and level the "rice fields" in the paddy fields and paste the ridges. Otherwise, water will leak out of the cracked seams and the ridges will collapse due to trampling.
A plowed and flat field is not a real "rice field". You have to stick your bare feet in the cold paddy field and use your hands to drag the soil out of the muddy field and fish it out like a "rice bed" in the field.
Use your hands to scoop out the prototype of the "seedling bed", and use a wooden scraper to scrape it flat. A "chamber ditch" of more than half a foot should be reserved between the "seedling beds".
The "Yangmu Field" is ready. The seedlings in the ground have grown two leaves, and the third leaf is about to grow. It's time to "plant the little seedlings". Hurry up and plant Aunt Wenying, Xiao Linyin,
Aunt Yao and others were invited, and several other women from the village were invited to help transplant the rice to the mother's field.
After planting mine, I went to "return the work" next to each other.
On weekends, I organized my brothers and planted grain.
The seedlings have taken root. Quickly close the water. Fill the water enough to cover the seedlings to half their height. Then apply chemical fertilizers. This is to add "nutrition" to the small seedlings so that they can grow quickly.
"Big Yangzi".
What a pity! What a pity! What an unexpected situation!
The perfectly fine sky suddenly changed its appearance. It was obviously a sunny day, but suddenly it turned dark. Just let it be dark. It also had lightning and thunder. Let alone the lightning and thunder. Why don't you make some rain? Let it rain a little.
The crops are good, but you happen to have hail. This hail is really cruel. It starts to rain with a "crackling" sound. First there are fertilizer particles as big as grains. We are not afraid. Do you think we are not afraid?
You "bad God" actually got worse and worse. It started to rain hailstones as big as cherries. Soon the courtyard dam was covered with a layer of hailstones. All my poor little peaches were knocked down.
The leaves were also knocked down by you. You didn't have enough, and you dared to rain hail as big as pigeon eggs.
