Chapter 201: Science (2)
When Zhao Chenghai ran over, Zhuo Yilan was still plowing the field.
The bright ploughshare struck forward like a yellow eel, swimming unhindered, and the black and shiny earth turned over obediently. The speed of ploughing the ground is more than twice as fast as that of ploughing cattle!
Zhao Chenghai was stunned, speechless.
He had heard his son say that Yilan would plow the fields, but he didn't believe it, thinking that it was a little girl who was fresh and occasionally showed off. Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Chenghai knew that his daughter-in-law was a veteran!
Zhuo Yilan saw her father-in-law coming over, after all, she was a little embarrassed, picked up the brake brake, stopped the gear, and stopped playing.
Zhenhua walked over, took the tractor and continued to turn over the ground.
Lao Zhuo looked at Zhao Chenghai and said with a smile: "How is my iron bull compared to your old buffalo?"
"Mechanical, of course it's fast and good!" Zhao Chenghai smiled hesitantly, and stepped forward to salute: "Brother Zhuo, you have come to turn the ground for me, how can I afford it!"
Lao Zhuo took the cigarette and said with a smile: "I won't turn the ground for you! I'm here to teach Zhenhua how to use a tractor." ”
"It's all the same, it's all the same. Zhao Chenghai also laughed, watching his son turn over the ground with a tractor.
Lao Zhuo smoked a cigarette, and then walked into the field to point out Zhenhua, and showed him the place where he turned around.
Zhenhua is not stupid, he also has a good body, and he learns quickly, but when he turns and turns around, he is still a little rusty.
In the morning, Zhenhua and his father-in-law worked in shifts to turn over four acres of rice stubble fields.
When drinking at noon, Zhao Chenghai finally admitted defeat and said with a smile: "Four acres of land in the morning is really too fast." If you make a cow, it is a big ox with four teeth and six teeth, and I am afraid that it will take three cars to complete, and it will take a day and a half. If you use my old buffalo, it will take two days. ”
Lao Zhuo rolled his eyes and said, "Then you won't sell the old cow and change it to a tractor?"
Zhao Chenghai said with a smile: "But if I change the tractor, I won't use it, and when the time comes, I won't have to do it all with Zhenhua? ”
Lao Zhuo laughed and said, "Zhenhua is so old, you still feel sorry for him, tired of your old bones!"
Zhao Chenghai also laughed and clinked glasses with his in-laws: "Tired and pulled down, isn't it all like this in our generation, and all of our thoughts are on the children?"
After lunch, Lao Zhuo drank a cup of tea and continued to turn the ground with Zhenhua.
Zhao Chenghai made the old cow, but he had no way to go to the ground, so he could only stare dryly. Because of the high temperature in the afternoon, the old cow couldn't stand it. The croppers and cattle all get up early and take care of them late, and take advantage of the low temperature in the morning and evening to work.
And the ox power is limited, and it cannot be used as infinitely as a tractor.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Zhuo and Zhenhua raked the four acres of land that they had turned over in the morning, tidied up the ditches, turned over a piece of dry land, raked it, and kept it for rape seedlings.
In the evening, Lao Zhuo went to Hedong Town to take a car home, and Zhuo Yilan stayed in Dongwan Village, planning to start cultivating rapeseed seedlings with Zhenhua tomorrow.
Yilan stayed, so that Zhenhua's heart was full of joy, and he could save it again.
Early the next morning, Zhenhua went to school to ask for leave and asked two new normal students to substitute for him. Wang Min and Xie Qiurong didn't say a word, nodded and agreed.
Zhenhua also took out this morning to implement "scientific farming" with Yilan.
Rapeseed seedlings are actually very simple, sprinkle rapeseed evenly on top of the broken soil, cover with a thin layer of straw, splash some water on it, and maintain humidity. If there is a light rain, even splashing water is not avoided.
In the morning, the seedling work was preliminarily completed.
After lunch, Yilan chatted with Zhenhua and said with a smile: "I was treated as a monkey by the people of your Dongwan Village yesterday. ”
"It's our Dongwan Village, you will marry soon, and you are also from Dongwan Village, and your ID card and household registration book have to be changed to Dongwan Village. Zhenhua said with a smile.
"I'll just say you Dongwan Village!" Yilan rolled her eyes.
"If you like to say it, just say it, whatever, anyway, you are from Dongwan Village. Zhenhua took Yilan's hand and said, "My father's attitude seems to have changed. It seems that there is hope for us to buy a tractor next year. I've been herding cattle since I was a child, and from next year, I finally don't have to herd cattle!"
Zhuo Yilan thought for a while and said, "Whether you buy a tractor or not, let's see when the time comes." It's not bad to save money and develop a side hustle first. ”
Zhenhua frowned and asked, "Develop a side business? Raise pigs? I already have three pigs at home." ”
Zhuo Yilan pouted disdainfully: "The three pigs are just raised for fun, and they have nothing to do with the development of side businesses." And your three pigs have been raised for half a year, and they are only about 100 catties, which is simply ...... Waste of time! People raise pigs scientifically, and they will be slaughtered in three or four months. There are three pigsties, which can raise thirty or forty fat pigs a year. ”
Zhenhua was surprised, grabbed his scalp and said: "Thirty or forty fat pigs, how much grain do you have to eat in a year? ”
Yilan said: "There is no pig feed to buy, and you can also prepare your own feed. If you raise pigs scientifically, four catties of grain will be converted into one catty of pig weight, which is not a small profit. You have pigs at home and crush rice and wheat into feed, which is actually very wrong. Corn is also the most suitable to feed pigs cheaply, and selling rice and replacing it with corn as feed can save almost half of the cost. ”
Zhenhua thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "For this question, I'll ask my father." Develop a side hustle, I guess he will support it. ”
Zhuo Yilan nodded, and said: "Your backyard is large, you can tear down the original toilet pigsty and flip it over." Build three pigstys and add a biogas digester. With a biogas digester, it is very convenient to boil tea and water in the future, and even cook rice and stir-fry. Moreover, the pig manure is fermented by the biogas digester, which has high fertility and can greatly reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer. In this way, scientific pig breeding and scientific farming can be recycled and maximize benefits. ”
Zhenhua smiled: "Yilan, you really deserve to be a big boss! Hearing you say this, I feel that the vast countryside has a lot to do, and you don't have to go out to work, and you can also make a fortune!"
Yilan sighed and said, "I don't know if I can get rich, but it's better than now, and it should be no problem to earn a few thousand dollars a year." ”
"Okay, I'll talk to Daddy!"
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhenhua sent Zhuo Yilan to the car, went back to school by himself, and discussed this matter with his father when he got out of school in the afternoon.
What Zhenhua didn't expect was that Dad agreed this time!
Zhenhua was very happy and said with a smile: "Dad, why didn't you object this time?"
Zhao Chenghai glared: "Why should I object? The pigsty at home was about to collapse, and I was about to flip the cover." Moreover, this pigsty is built in our Dongwan Village, not Zhuo Daying, why do you think I should object? But the biogas digester costs a thousand yuan, and I have to think about it again......
