Chapter 0091 Farmland
Just when the production team was studying who the donkey in the production team should belong to, Qin Lei was already carrying two sacks of rice back home!
The old village chief said that they had to deal with the production team's farm tools in the morning, and the specific distribution of the land would not be until the afternoon. Since Qin Lei wanted the wasteland next to his house, he could just wait at home.
In fact, the rations distributed by the production team are usually delivered by the production team to deliver them from door to door. After all, one delivery is for one year. Some families have five or six people, and it is too troublesome to carry the rations they distribute by thousands of pounds. Therefore, the production team will deliver them home with a ox cart.
Speaking of which, it is quite troublesome to store the food rations for individuals. If it is not done well, insects may grow in summer. People who often eat rice know that rice that has been peeled off cannot be dried, and it will not be delicious once it is dried. Therefore, many people will sprinkle some diluted DDT on the outside of the rice pocket!
You read that right, just tie the rice pocket with a rope and spray DDT outside the bag. In this way, insects inside will be killed. If people eat it, because there are not many DTT sprays, and the rice has to be washed, it will not cause poisoning.
Of course, it is impossible to say that it is completely harmless, but people in that era did not have much health awareness. For them, it would be fine if there was no poisoning reaction, so this simple and effective method has become a necessary secret recipe for them to solve problems.
Of course, Qin Lei would not be able to follow the local customs. In fact, the hundreds of kilograms of rice he got back couldn't eat for long. Although they were not many, Coal Balls were a big grain-consuming household. After this guy repeatedly went through his physical fitness and improved, his appetite seemed to have also improved. Anyway, even if he only had a few hundred kilograms of grain, he would probably not be able to eat for long, so in theory, there should be no need to worry about Zhang Chongzi's problem.
Put the rice in the warehouse on the first floor, and then Qin Lei went directly to 22 years to study farming!
Although Qin Lei was a good farmer before, it was too long since he was reborn and he has never been in the ground. He needs to recall how he planted it or how he planted it.
Although the rural farming in 1979 was not as good as the weather, it was actually quite primitive. For example, the best paddy fields made a good harvest of 500 kilograms of grain per acre, and the yield per acre of 1,000 kilograms of rice was not even a good harvest in later generations.
So Qin Lei still needs to study specifically and study what to plant in these two fields next to his home.
In addition to how to farm and what, Qin Lei also needs to study the farm tools carefully. Although it is convenient for tractors, it is a bit too eye-catching for the production team here. Therefore, Qin Lei still prefers some primitive farm tools. Although there are no matching cows, Qin Lei thinks that coal balls should be competent. Although that guy is not big, he feels more powerful than a car when running, so pulling a plowshare should be no problem!
In the afternoon, the old village chief and the branch secretary came to the wasteland next to Qin Lei’s house with the measuring tape ruler and a few wooden sticks!
There are actually some special things to pay attention to when dividing land in rural areas, such as paddy fields and dry fields. There are statements about the shape and slope of the world. But bad fields can naturally be divided into more, such as the best paddy fields, which must be the corresponding number.
Although these farmers may not know a lot about the big words, in fact, no one can fool them in farming. Moreover, the matter of dividing land is a god for farmers. In this case, not to mention a small village chief, even if you are the king of heaven, they will never agree if you have less dividing. Therefore, although the old village chief has a good relationship with Qin Lei, it is impossible for him to really open a back door for Qin Lei. It is just because it is a wasteland relationship, he only symbolically drew five more points of land, which is considered as compensation for wasteland.
But even so, some people will be picking on it. When they saw that the old village chief and branch secretary had obviously more land, a thin little man immediately spoke: "Village chief, didn't he say two acres of land each? This is more than two acres, right?"
The old village chief holding the white ash looked up and glanced at the other party, then said slowly: "What? I think this piece of land is big, right? That's it! This piece of land is for you!"
When the person who spoke immediately waved his hand: "No, no! I don't want this piece of land. Didn't we all agree to divide the paddy fields?"
"But this piece of land is big!" the old village chief said deliberately.
"I don't want it either!" the man said firmly.
"Don't think that the land is big!" The boy looked at the old village chief and simply said loudly: "This guy Qin Lei thinks this land is close to his home, so he cares about what I want. Whoever you think this land is good and there are still there next to you! You can tell me that I will calculate it for you based on two acres and five cents of land!"
More land is equivalent to more than 200 kilograms of food a year, which is basically enough for one person’s food rations. It cannot be said that it is less, but no one is moved when facing such good things.
Everyone knows that there is a piece of land here, but why hasn't the production team come to plant it for so many years? The most important reason is that this piece of land is unstable and is too close to the woods next to you. You are busy all year round and you really have two wild boars to give you a chance. Then there is no place to cry!
And this is not a year or two. It was already clear that the meeting was held in the morning. This time, the land division lasted for thirty years. As long as there was one time in these thirty years, will it still be alive for the whole year?
For farmers, land is everything, and this kind of thing is not a joke. Even if there is a little possibility, no one dares to test the method with his own eyes!
After the old village chief painted Qin Lei’s land here, it was basically decided to make a decision. After two days, he went to the village party secretary to issue a certificate. Basically, the land will belong to him in the next thirty years. Every year, except for public grain and designated grain purchases, the family will not care about what you plant on the ground!
The five acres of land seem not very big, but it is still very considerable after drawing it. You should know that one acre of land is 666.6 square meters, and the five acres of land is 3,333 square meters, which is basically as big as half a football field.
Qin Lei had already made some trouble during the time he returned home, so Qin Lei immediately started working as soon as the old village chief and his team confirmed the land!
The land here is relatively high, and it is troublesome to make a paddy field project. It is even more inconvenient to plant something else once it becomes paddy field, so Qin Lei is not going to make paddy fields anymore, so he is going to change to wheat!
There is basically no saying that there is winter wheat in the Kuoshan Village. It is mainly the problem of seeds. The wheat in this era basically cannot withstand the temperature below minus ten degrees Celsius. However, it is normal for the maximum temperature to reach minus twenty degrees Celsius in the winter. It can even reach minus thirty degrees Celsius when it is cold. This temperature is basically the silence of all things and nothing can survive.
However, Qin Lei checked and found that in 2012, there was a wheat specially used for this kind of low-temperature planting, and even if it was minus 30 degrees Celsius, Qin Lei was a little moved!
Time feels like it is almost the same, so Qin Lei wants to give it a try.
When I got home, I put the briquettes that I had prepared long ago on, and then each person and a pig began to work hard!
You should know that when you cultivate land, if there are other plants on it, you need to pull them out first, such as corn poles. If you don’t cut off the cattle first, you won’t go in. However, Qin Lei has no such concern. The coal balls are rushing and Liao Dashu is hitting up, let alone some weeds.
Qin Lei made three sets of plows, and the individual plows were thirty centimeters deep plows. Even if this kind of plow was one, it would be hard for ordinary cows to pull it. However, Qin Lei's three sets were connected together, and the coal balls were still running fast when they pulled it!
The five acres of land are only fifty or sixty meters long and the width of Qin Lei is naturally chosen as a wasteland that no one wants, so the entire land is very convenient to plow in a regular manner.
The sixty-meter-long coal balls dragged the plowshares back and forth for only five or six minutes. The three plowshares were basically completed, and the five acres of land were only fifty meters wide, and twenty-five round trips were only two or three hours!
You should know that if you use ordinary ox to plow these lands, you will probably not be able to finish your work in a few days.
The main entrance of Qin Lei's house happened to face the wasteland here. Li Zhiqing and Chu Xintong, who were originally cooking at home, heard the movement outside and ran out and saw Qin Lei's plowing land.
"Qin Lei! Is this the land you are talking about?" Li Zhiqing, wearing an apron, was a little surprised at the scenery that had changed a lot here.
"Nonsense! Otherwise I'll have nothing to do!" Qin Lei said.
"Can you let the coal balls plow the land?" Chu Xintong asked in confusion.
You should know that although she has never plowed the land, she also knows that oxen are usually used for plowing land, otherwise there would be no law in ancient times that oxen were not allowed to be killed.
As for using wild boars to cultivate the land, I have never heard of it before!
I don’t know if it was the coal ball that understood Chu Xintong’s doubts about it, but I saw that the coal ball that was walking quickly in front of me happened to touch a stone in front. Then I saw that the two living fangs directly tucked to the ground and then arched it. The stone that was at least the size of a basin was arched several meters away, and the coal ball's speed did not decrease at all from beginning to end.
"What do you think!" Qin Lei glanced at the two stunned women over there, but couldn't help but say proudly.
I have to say that the coal briquette is really unambiguous when doing work. The efficiency of the arable land is really no worse than that of an ordinary careful tractor!
"Let me try it too?" Chu Xintong couldn't sit still when she saw this scene.
"Can we do it?" Li Zhiqing also said eagerly.
For farmers, arable land is labor that is forced to make a living, but for most urban people, this kind of labor is more novel, so of course the two women who have never plowed the land can't sit still!
I felt that this job was not tiring, so Qin Lei simply said that he was waiting here!
While talking, Qin Lei went back to the house. After a while, he took two pairs of high-tube rubber boots and two pairs of gloves and handed them to the two women. Neither of them had done farm work seriously. If they were not properly protected, they would be injured.
Qin Lei: "I'll get some drinks, you guys do it slowly!"
Two women: "I know!"
Qin Lei: "I didn't tell you!"
Coal Ball: "Hmph!"
"Zhiqing, why do I always think that our coal balls seem to understand us?" Chu Xintong said suspiciously while changing into rubber boots and gloves.
"I don't know! I seemed to have heard that pigs are smarter than dogs when I was in school. Maybe it could really understand them!" He also changed his equipment and took Chu Xintong's shoes and sent them back to the courtyard. Then the two women held the handle behind the plowshare and shouted at the coal ball in front: "Get off!"
