Chapter 12 Ploughing

Not only Zhang Fugui, but other villagers who were originally excited, as soon as they inquired about the need to invest so much, they all began to retreat. In a rural area like theirs, it is not easy to earn a few thousand yuan.

"Four thousand pieces per acre of land, I still forget it. ”

"If the weather and the like affect it, it will be miserable!"

"I'd better take care of the existing fruit trees! I can earn as much as I can, and I won't be greedy. ”

"You can't be greedy, and we are not familiar with strawberries, we have no experience, what do you say? He Zhang Fan should also be on paper, right? Anyway, I still honestly cultivate the fields and farm, it doesn't matter if I earn less!"

……

Hearing these comments, the old village chief was very entangled.

First of all, the villagers still haven't been able to come out of the shadow of the last loss, as long as the investment is slightly larger and the risk is not clear, they are not willing to follow.

Secondly, he also thought that Zhang Fan was a bit aggressive.

Three or four thousand acres of land, three or four acres, 20,000 yuan is almost gone. It's okay to say that you have earned, but you are afraid that the weather will change abruptly in the middle of the way, which will cause huge losses.

He is also a person who has grown crops all his life, and he knows very well that planting is to watch the weather and eat, and the weather is the primary factor. If God doesn't appreciate food, he will go hungry.

The village is disturbed, Zhang Fan can't manage it so much, so he will do his own first.

Old man Deng is right: the first rich will lead the latter to be rich!

If you haven't become rich yourself, how can you take someone else? If you haven't succeeded in a project, how can you let others rest assured that you can do it? It's a very simple truth.

As long as his strawberries make money, everyone will have fewer scruples next time.

There are no ploughing cattle in his own family, so my uncle borrowed one from someone else's house. Relying on manual digging of the soil, I'm afraid it will be so tiring that you will vomit. Zhang Fan is ready to make four or five acres out, usually strawberries yield about two tons per mu, almost a little more than a ton, some management is very scientific, can exceed three tons.

Zhang Fan believes that if you have a clean bottle of space pool water and can't grow more than three tons of high-yield, you will be considered a failure.

The uncle's vision is average, and he borrowed a water buffalo with a big temper, but the owner asked it to work, and he didn't even move, so he knew that he would bow his head and eat grass, and if he was annoyed, he would pant and want to attack people.

"Desperate! Are you leaving?" the uncle was also disgusted.

"Hair and absolute" is a dialect, and in the countryside on Zhang Fan's side, it is a curse word! It is similar to the meaning of "family wealth" and "family shovel" outside.

"Moo......"

The buffalo seems to be going to carry it with the uncle, stiffening the cow's neck, as if scolding people: I won't move, can you?

Seeing that the uncle was embarrassed, Zhang Fan said tentatively: "Uncle, do you want me to come?"

The aunt gave a blank look: "How long have you not supported the plowshare? Will it be? This buffalo is disobedient to your uncle, and you will hang it when you go." ”

It's not that she looks down on her nephew, she is afraid that her nephew will be disgraced by the cow if he goes. It's not your own cow, it's really not good!

As a native of the countryside, how could Zhang Fan have never ploughed the land? In the past, their family raised cattle, and their temper was not so big, and they were very obedient. Later, the scalper accidentally fell to his death.

"Ploughing is easier than plowing, it shouldn't be difficult!" Zhang Fan said.

If you plough the field, because there is water in the field, it is difficult to walk, and secondly, it is sometimes difficult to see what you have plowed.

Ploughing the field needs to be more attentive, "listening" to the hard soil under the footboard, which is either a lock of mud that was not ploughed just now, or the old soil of last year.

Then you have to kick it with your foot, and when the next plow comes here, you will plow it again, and the mud will melt away.

After ploughing, don't be in a hurry to go to the ridge, you have to make a circle of reverse plowing, that is, carefully plow it again under the edge of the ridge, and a piece of land will not miss the plow.

Many people will say that cows are stupid, but in fact, cows are not stupid. If the people can train it to be a good helper, it means that they are not inferior in intelligence.

As soon as the yoke is on the shoulders and the front foot is on the ground, the ox knows how to walk. As long as a person holds the plough and follows the oxen, he will lift the plough and open the plough again when he reaches the ground.

Seeing that his nephew was a little itchy, the uncle gave up his position. However, he looked at the buffalo that was dying with him, and he was depressed and annoyed. If it was his own cow, he would have whipped it a long time ago. Other people's family, you can't be ruthless, the master's family will feel uncomfortable.

Although cattle are livestock, their status is much higher than that of pigs, and rural people even regard them as members of the family. When the farming season is busy, the cattle will never be disadvantaged.

Zhang Fan understands that he must first deal with this "thorny" buffalo, otherwise he will not be able to continue.

He thought of the pool of water in the net bottle space, Zhang Fan carried the bucket to the stream not far away, and brought half a bucket over. Others didn't see it, and he got one-tenth of the "pool of water" into the bucket.

With Zhang Fan's understanding, let's call it spiritual water!

It can help grow plants, and people are refreshed when they drink it, so there's no reason why other animals don't like it, right?

Uncle they couldn't cry or laugh, and others made the cows obedient, either whipped or fed grass. What kind of road are you? Feed water? I've never heard of such a trick.

"Ahem, Xiaofan, on the way here, this buffalo drank enough water. Uncle couldn't help but remind.

"I know, I'll try it and lower its vigilance against me!" Zhang Fan smiled, the reason for this is naturally that it can't be used by outsiders!

Whatever, uncle, they just watched Zhang Fan toss. If you stay in the village in the future, you will have to master these skills sooner or later, and it is best to familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible.

The ensuing scene made the uncle and aunt almost stare out of their eyes.

I saw a buffalo that had just been angry, and when my nephew put the water over, he sniffed it first, and then gulped down the cow to drink.

After drinking, he raised the bull's head and looked at Zhang Fan, as if asking: Can you have another cup?

Zhang Fan patted the bull's head and said angrily: "Work first!

The buffalo rubbed Zhang Fan's feet with the head of the cow, this time it seemed very obedient, there was no taste of prickly head just now, and he looked ready to plow.

Uncle was dumbfounded: Could it be that the cow really didn't drink enough water before?

He had to be so suspicious, he didn't realize what was so special about the bucket of water. Isn't it just streamwater? No salt, no sugar!

"Ahem!" the uncle coughed lightly twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

There is no way not to be embarrassed, he can't see that the cow is thirsty, and he can't see it as an "old farmer", and it is a shame to let his nephew, who has not touched the cow for a long time, do it.

The aunt glanced at her husband and said secretly: You, the uncle, are also speechless!

"Hehe! I didn't pay attention just now!"

The aunt said, "You are not careful enough, Xiaofan can see it." ”

The uncle was speechless, who knows the bitterness in his own heart?

After setting up the equipment, there was no need for Zhang Fan to shout, and the buffalo himself took a step forward, and the position was quite sophisticated, which made people feel very worry-free, and there was no arrogance at the beginning.

The uncle and his aunt followed behind, picking up some small stones that had been turned up, as well as weeds and grass roots that were relatively hard.
