Chapter 495: Raising Seedlings (1/3)
"Yiyi, when are you coming back??"
Lying alone in bed in a daze for a while at night, Zhang Feng couldn't help but call Yiyi.
"Hee-hee, missed me?"
"Of course, I'm thinking about you all the time!"
"Don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow, by the way, my dad asked me to tell you that the design work of the mountain temple has been completed, and the construction team will be able to go to the village in two days............"
Hearing these two good news, Zhang Feng was overjoyed, not only will Yiyi be able to return to the village tomorrow, but even the reconstruction of the mountain temple is about to begin.
"Well, good goodbye!good night!!"
After more than an hour of talking on the phone, the two reluctantly hung up the phone.
Lying on the bed, crooked at the dark night sky outside the window, Zhang Feng's face showed a sweet smile, and under the nourishment of love, he slowly fell asleep.
………………
Whoa!!
The rooster sings that the world is white.
Zhang Feng still got up early, finished breakfast, loaded rice seeds, fertilizer and tools onto the tricycle, and then drove to the fields outside the village.
Today, Zhang Feng is preparing to cultivate seedlings in preparation for planting rice.
The purpose of raising seedlings is to make rice seedlings more nutritious, grow stronger and more vigorous, and increase the yield of crops.
Raising seedlings is actually not troublesome, the first is to find a small open space in the paddy field, stir the soil and manure evenly, then spread them, and then sprinkle the rice seeds on it, the rice seeds will germinate after a few days, and when the seedlings grow to one or twenty centimeters high, you can proceed to the next step of transplanting.
"Xiaofeng has started to raise seedlings??" Seeing Zhang Feng mixing soil in the field, the second uncle asked with a smile.
"Yes, second uncle, your seedlings are all tall, right?"
I have to say that the second uncle is really a model worker in the village, no matter what kind of farm work he does, he is the best and most careful person.
"No, it's just budding, and it's still a few days before the rice planting!" said the second uncle with a smile.
"That's earlier than mine!!!" Zhang Feng said, stirring the dirt and fertilizer constantly.
"Hehe, don't talk about it, Xiaofeng, I'll go first!!"
"Hey, slow down!" Seeing the second uncle carrying two baskets of vegetables, Zhang Feng cautiously advised.
"Don't worry, it's okay!!" Although the second uncle is already old, his health is still very good, even better than last year.
It is estimated that I made money last year, and I was happy, and my body naturally got better.
"Big brother!"
"Xiaofeng is ready to raise seedlings??"
After a while, the second uncle's family also came to the field, and Zhang Yi and the second uncle asked with a smile when they saw Zhang Feng.
"Hey, second uncle and aunt, you're here......"
Seeing the second uncle's family holding a sickle and carrying a basket, Zhang Feng knew that they were here to harvest vegetables.
"Hehe, Xiaofeng has to say that the rice seeds you gave are really good, look at my seedlings, they grow more energetically than in previous years......"
As soon as he talked about raising seedlings, the second uncle laughed and told Zhang Feng about the growth of his seedlings, and he was indescribably happy.
The seedlings of the second uncle's house are next door, and as soon as you look up, you can see that, sure enough, they are lush and vibrant.
So Zhang Feng smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that the rice seeds produced by the system could be bad?
Whether it is germination rate or vitality, they are much higher than ordinary rice, not to mention that the fields of Moon Lake are very fertile, even in some barren places, they can grow very well.
Dry it!
Suddenly, Zhang Feng felt a pain in his leg!
"I'll go!!What the hell is this!!"
A slender leech actually climbed onto Zhang Feng's calf, and the round suction cup was tightly adsorbed on Zhang Feng's skin, sucking Zhang Feng's blood.
It's okay, smack!!
The calves were red, but unfortunately this guy didn't want to come down.
So Zhang Feng could only magnify his move, took out the fruit knife on the keychain, pressed the blade against the skin, and quickly scraped the leech off.
"Look, see if you dare to suck my blood!" Zhang Feng picked the leech to the field with a knife and scolded viciously.
"What's the matter, big brother, did you meet a leech??" Hearing the movement next to him, Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's okay, I've got it down. Zhang Feng looked at his calf, there was a red blood mark on it, fortunately he found it in time, otherwise he didn't know how much blood would have been sucked.
Zhang Feng remembered that he saw a news not long ago, there was an old farmer who encountered leeches when he was young, and when he found the leeches, he had already drilled into his legs, and only half of them were pulled out at that time, and the other half was left in his thighs.
In the end, he went to a big hospital for an examination, only to find an abnormality in his thigh, and through surgery, two leeches were removed from his thigh.
It can be seen how tenacious the vitality of leeches is, so you must be calm when encountering leeches, and take the leeches out of the body in a timely and complete manner, otherwise the leeches will get into the flesh and blood, and keep sucking your blood.
It's terrifying to think about, and I shudder.
"Brother, I'll give you the lighter!" Zhang Yi knew Zhang Feng's process of dealing with leeches, and every time he found a leech, he would burn them to death.
Zhang Feng accurately caught the lighter thrown by his cousin, looked at the leech on the ground and smiled evilly, ready to use the flame of justice to surround it!
The flames of the lighter burned on the body, and the leeches kept struggling and swaying, but unfortunately the speed was too slow, and it was soon burned to charcoal.
returned the lighter to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Feng continued to work,
After about half an hour, the manure and soil were finally mixed, then spread on the paddy field, and finally evenly sprinkled with rice seeds, and everything was done!
"Xiao Feng is done??" Seeing Zhang Feng standing on the field, the second uncle asked with a smile.
"Okay, do you want to help me, second uncle!"
"No, we're going to finish picking it soon!!" the second uncle smiled, several baskets of vegetables were already filled, and it was good to pick three or four hundred catties a day.
According to the purchase price of the cooperative, five pieces of cabbage per catty, eight pieces of lettuce, eight pieces of tomatoes, and the price of shallots and garlic sprouts is even higher, reaching about ten yuan.
It's very scary to think about, one or two thousand a day, fifty or sixty thousand in a month, after the Chinese New Year, the vegetable planting area has doubled, and the income has expanded a lot, and the annual income can reach at least five or six hundred thousand, this is the current income of the villagers of Moon Lake Village.
Who can imagine that a year ago, Moon Lake Village was just an ordinary small mountain village, and the average annual income of the villagers was only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but now, everyone's income has increased tenfold, or even as much as twenty or thirty times, which is really unimaginable.
