Chapter 467: Releasing Water in the Rain

By noon, the sky was suddenly cloudy.

A large black cloud came from the south, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sky was covered with black clouds.

Boom!

Then there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and a huge roar resounded through the sky and the sky.

People say that thunder alone is no less than that, but this time the old man really moved, and after a while, the dense rain fell, crackling and slapping on the earth.

Woooo

When the heavy rain came, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the yard, and the small animals in the house fled into the house in embarrassment.

"Hehe, it's good, it's raining hard, and the fields will be watered through!" Seeing the dense raindrops outside the house, Wang Guilan said with a smile on her face.

For farmers, rain is just as important as the land, and without enough rain, crops in the field cannot be grown.

Therefore, this heavy rain is really a timely rain for farmers, and everyone has been waiting for the rain to come, plough the fields, and plant crops.

…………

The spring rain continued until noon the next day, when it gradually stopped.

"Mom, where are you going??" Seeing his mother wearing a raincoat and carrying a hoe, Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"I'll go to the fields at the entrance of the village. Wang Guilan is a little uneasy, and she always remembers her family's fields.

"Mom, we'll go with you. Zhang Feng hurriedly got a raincoat on the bed, took the hoe, and followed his mother to the entrance of the village.

Along the way, I met many villagers, all wearing raincoats or umbrellas, ready to go to the fields to release water.

Every year in the spring, when there is heavy rain, everyone will rush to the ditch to open the passage to their own paddy fields, so that the water can be watered into their paddy fields.

Flood irrigation is still the mainstream of farming in rural areas, because Moon Lake has sufficient water resources, there is no need for irrigation, and high-tech things like drip irrigation are not even as convenient as flood irrigation.

Even in the arid years, the village has a never-ending flow of the Dabang River, and it is because of it that Moon Lake has become a well-known land of fish and rice.

"Sister-in-law Xiaofeng, are you going to go to the ground??" Seeing Zhang Feng's mother and son, Uncle Dashan asked with a smile.

"Yes, isn't this going to the field to release water!" Zhang Feng also replied with a smile.

"Hehe, the rain in the past two days is good, with this heavy rain, you can plant rice in a few days!" Uncle Dashan said with a smile,

Speaking of rice planting, the villagers are very happy, because this year's rice planted by everyone is different, it is a high-grade seed provided by the cooperative, not only high yield, but also good taste, the most important thing is that the purchase price is high, ten yuan for a pound of fragrant rice, and the price of rouge rice is higher, as high as twenty yuan per catty, which is a high price that everyone dared not think of before.

According to this preliminary calculation, every household can have an income of at least 450,000 yuan just by planting rice this year, and the maximum estimate is 6.7 million yuan.

Therefore, everyone was in high spirits, and before the rain had completely stopped, everyone rushed to the fields and prepared to release water to water the fields.

"Haha, this year's rain is good, the ancients all said that the snow is a good year, if you want me to say the spring rain trillion year!" Seeing the rolling rain in the canal, the second master laughed and laughed, and his heart was indescribably excited.

"You old man is talking nonsense, you can't spit ivory out of your mouth. The running mountain master complained without giving face.

"What's the matter? Can you spit out ivory?" the second master suddenly broke out and asked angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense with you, I'm going to release water!" Ranshan Ye shook his head and walked straight to his paddy field.

"Hey, hey!!, old man running from the mountain, don't go, tell me clearly!!" The second master hurriedly chased after him.

It was really interesting to see the two old men slapping each other, everyone was secretly enjoying themselves, and Zhang Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

I thought to myself, the two old men are really interesting, they are noisy all day, like old children.

…………

The matter of the two old men has come to an end.

Zhang Feng and his mother soon came to their own field, because their paddy field is next to the ditch, so it is very convenient to divert water.

Using a hoe to open the water inlet, the rolling rainwater flowed into his paddy field, and soon watered the entire field, and in about half an hour, more than ten centimeters of rainwater accumulated.

As long as it is flooded for a few days, all kinds of pests in the field will be drowned, which is also a means of protecting the crops.

Everyone knows that after the autumn harvest every year, the locusts in the field will lay their eggs on the stump, and when the climate warms the next year, new locusts can hatch.

Therefore, flood irrigation also has a great effect on the control of locusts, and some people may say that since the yellow worm eggs are drowned, why are there so many in the fields in the summer?

Although locusts do not know the three holes of the cunning rabbit, it is impossible to lay all their eggs in the paddy fields, and there must be some in the wastelands of the fields, so they can still be seen every summer.

It has to be said that all kinds of creatures in nature have their own survival skills, which is why nature has always maintained this stable balance.

Quack Quack Quack !!

At this moment, a flock of hundreds of ducks rushed downstream along the water of the Dabang River, and the ducks seemed to have become accustomed to sitting on the water car, and did not panic, but swooped in the water excitedly, and after a while, they came out again.

Wearing a robe, a hat, and a long bamboo pole in his hand, Grandpa Nine drove the ducks downstream.

"Grandpa Jiu, you have more and more ducks!" Seeing the old man, Zhang Feng greeted with a smile.

"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to you? Now our Moon Lake specialties are sold well, and now my ducks can be sold for thirty yuan each, and duck eggs are not cheap, one costs one dollar. Grandpa Nine said to Zhang Feng with a smile, indescribably happy in his heart.

Since the Moon Lake vegetables are on fire, all kinds of specialties in the village have risen with the tide, if before, the ducks raised by the ninth master were only five or six yuan per catty, and a duck of three or four catties was only a dozen yuan, but now it costs more than ten yuan per catty, and the duck eggs have also risen from seven cents per catty to one piece now.

This makes the old man unhappy, now every more duck he sells can earn more than a dozen yuan, and in the past few months alone, the old man has made thousands more.

In the past, there were only about a hundred ducks in the old man's flock, but now they have reached four or five hundred, and as far as the eye can see, there is a black pressure in the ditch, and there are ducks wandering everywhere.

Now Jiu Ye can earn two or three hundred yuan a day just by selling duck eggs, plus the income from selling ducks, he can easily earn more than 100,000 yuan when he is young.

It can be said that with the rise of Moon Lake vegetables, the entire Moon Lake has also benefited, and now all kinds of specialties in the village are selling extremely hot.
