029. Allocate rice to grow sweet potatoes

Long Jiusheng nodded: "I also think that Master Tang Ailian's words should be believed, in case of a real drought and the rice harvest fails, we will have no food to eat." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSweet potatoes are drought tolerant, even in the event of a major drought, you can still have sweet potatoes harvested by carrying water and drenching them. I think it is better for us to take out half of the paddy fields to grow red vetch and keep half of the rice, because if there is a big drought and the rice harvest fails, we can survive the famine with red vetch. ”

"I think Master Tang Ailian is credible, half is too little, let's plant two-thirds of sweet potatoes. Long Wanqiu said.

Shi Dong objected: "The well-planted rice should be allocated, and it is inconceivable to allocate one-half of it, and two-thirds of it must be allocated?

"Secretary Zeng, I'll explain. Long Jiusheng said.

"Since it can't be decided, let's vote by a show of hands. Raise your hand in agreement to dial rice to grow sweet potatoes. ”

Long Jiusheng said, and he raised his hand first.

The women's captain snapped and raised her hand very firmly: "I agree to allocate two-thirds of the rice to grow sweet potatoes." ”

Long Wanqiu looked at the rest of the people: Su Xiaoli, the clerk, Shi Dong, the secretary of the Youth League, Tang Xiaofeng, the accountant, and Long Jinshui, the cashier, said, "If we allocate rice to grow sweet potatoes, and the drought does not come, we have no rice to eat, we can only eat sweet potatoes, and we may be scolded, but if we don't allocate rice, the drought comes, and more than 600 people in our village will starve to death, and we will be the sinners of the whole village." So, I raised my hand to also pull rice to grow sweet potatoes. He raised his hand as he spoke.

Long Jiusheng looked at the others with expectation in his eyes.

Clerk Su Xiaoli glanced at Shi Dong, hesitated for a moment, and said: "If we allocate rice to grow sweet potatoes, we will definitely be scolded, but if the scolding can be exchanged for the safety of a village to survive the famine, I would rather be scolded." He raised his hand.

Shi Dong glared at Su Xiaoli fiercely: "I am against transferring rice to grow sweet potatoes." He glanced at the accountant Tang Xiaofeng and the cashier Long Jinshui: "Fortunately, you still support me." ”

Who knows, before his words fell, accountant Tang Xiaofeng raised his hand: "I think it's important to save your life." ”

Shi Dong: "......"

Cashier Long Jinshui also raised his hand: "I believe in Master Tang Ailian, so I agree to allocate rice to grow sweet potatoes." ”

Long Jiusheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Of the seven committee members, six agreed to allocate rice to plant red lotus, and one person opposed it, so it was decided to take out two-thirds of the team's paddy fields to allocate seedlings and plant sweet potatoes, and keep one-third of the rice." Also, we can't let Tang Ailian's little baby be in the limelight, so I said to the outside world that I went to the commune this time and heard the county experts remind me that there may be a big drought this year. ”

Long Wanqiu frowned: "But, Jiusheng, have you ever thought about how to solve this sweet potato seedling?"

Yes, if you have to plant so many sweet potatoes, how can you solve the problem of seedlings? Even if there are so many sweet potato seeds, it will be too late to raise seedlings right away.

"Tomorrow, let's send someone to the polder to see if we can buy sweet potato seedlings." ”

Early the next morning, Long Jiusheng sent people to rush to Sanjowei, and the main task was to buy sweet potato seedlings.

Jiulongwei, the closest to Longtou Village, only needs to walk for half an hour, so the people who were sent to buy sweet potato seedlings will return before noon.

"Captain, sweet potato seedlings are not easy to buy, we have bought all the sweet potato seedlings in the whole polder, and we only bought more than 500 catties of sweet potato seedlings. In fact, there are only about 200 catties on the polder, and we still cut them at home with the seller. ”

"Sweet potato seedlings are planted with 2,000-3,000 seedlings per mu, and this sweet potato seedling is the most five acres of land. I can only hope that the people who rush to the three-tailed wei can buy more. ”

"Have the people who drove the three tails come back?"

"I came back and bought more than 300 catties. ”

"I can only hope for the field. ”

In the evening, the people who rushed to set up the fields also returned, and they only brought back more than 200 catties of sweet potato seedlings.

Long Jiusheng has a headache, all the sweet potato seedlings bought back can plant up to ten acres of sweet potatoes. He was so anxious that he had a mouthful of bubbles overnight.

Long Jiusheng unconsciously walked under the big camphor tree at the head of the village, but found a small person sitting on the raised roots under the big camphor tree, his hands on his cheeks, and his small brows furrowed tightly.

This villain is none other than Tang Ailian.

Now Long Jiusheng doesn't dare to underestimate this little thing, and besides, he loves her very much.

He involuntarily walked over: "Little girl, what are you doing here? Be careful that your little brows are frowned and can't be opened, and they become ugly." ”

As soon as Tang Ailian saw him, she immediately smiled: "Wait for you, look for me." She pointed to a small green hill behind the big tree: "Master, Jean, Ah Lian, give, captain." ”

Long Jiusheng looked at her white and tender little hand, and his eyes immediately widened.

Oh my God, what he saw, there was a pile of sweet potato vines like a hill on the ground behind the tree, which was originally overgrown with thorns.

Tang Ailian was very helpless, in order to save the whole village, in the past two days, she used well water to grow sweet potato vines in the space whenever she was free, and it was easy to urge these sweet potato seedlings to be produced, and then she hid from the people at home, found the big camphor tree, and waved her hand to release the sweet potato vines.

In order to give birth to these sweet potato vines, she has always disappeared in the past two days, and she has been spanked several times by Mrs. Tang.

And, what makes her heart hurt even more is that she finds that the water in the medicine well is not inexhaustible. In the past few days, sweet potato vines have been grown, and the water in the medicine well has actually dropped by more than a meter.

Long Jiusheng was so excited that he lifted Tang Ailian up: "Little thing, you have made a great contribution to our village." ”

He believed even more that Tang Ailian's master was a hidden master, not only did he calculate this year's drought, but also raised sweet potato seedlings early.

As for how Tang Ailian's "master" transported the sweet potato vine here, he selectively forgot to ask.

When the commune held a meeting, people from several surrounding villages were laughing at Captain Long Jiusheng:

"I heard that your team dropped the seedlings to plant sweet potatoes, is there such a thing?"

"Do you need to ask? Most of the paddy fields have been drained, and the seedlings have been removed. ”

"What kind of madness is the leading production team, the rice that is planted well, and the sweet potatoes are removed, is it idle and barren?"

"Hehe, he is the youngest production captain in our commune, of course he will have a different feat. ”

“…...”

Secretary Zeng of the Red Lotus Commune almost went crazy when he heard that the leading production team actually dropped the seedlings to plant sweet potatoes. He angrily called Long Jiusheng and scolded him: "What the hell are you doing with Long Jiusheng's NN? Why do you make such a ridiculous thing as allocating rice to grow sweet potato chips? You immediately remove the sweet potatoes for me and plant the rice back." ”
