The idea of building a reservoir has not been put into action for the time being, and the main reason is not a problem of money, but because it is difficult to find hired workers during the busy farming season, and at the same time, the rain in the ravine is coming, and if the barrage that has been repaired with great difficulty is washed away by a flash flood, it will make people laugh.

The construction of the barrage and the construction of the reservoir will have to wait until the spring after the thaw in the fields turns the year.

The 150-meter-wide barrage is not a small project, and it will take about two months to build. 200,000 yuan is the estimated cost of Wang Shaodong, specifically how much it will cost to repair the barrage in the next year, and he himself is not sure.

The reservoir was repaired, and it will be convenient to eat fish in the future anyway.

As for what fruit trees to plant, Wang Shaodong also has a general idea in his heart.

When the autumn harvest season comes, Taohualing Village has an average of one and a half acres of irrigated land and one acre and eight points of mountainous land per person.

The irrigated land is fertile, suitable for growing crops such as wheat and corn, while the mountainous land is mainly planted with drought-resistant crops such as peanuts and sweet potatoes.

Taohualing is located in the hilly area of the middle mountains of Lu, the average annual precipitation is only more than 400, ten years of nine droughts, the original place is very poor.

Before the liberation, there was almost no irrigation and water conservancy in Luzhong, and all the land basically depended on the sky for food, and then because the planting technology and seeds were not good in the past, the local people could not eat much all year round. Every spring, when the green and yellow crops are scarce, a large number of poor people will go to other places to beg in the villages around Taohualing Village.

Later, after the liberation, the government mobilized the local people to build a lot of water conservancy projects, so that all villages had water to irrigate, and high-yield crops such as wheat and corn were planted, and then the people could have enough to eat.

Of course, these things all happened in the fifties and sixties, and Wang Shaodong did not experience them.

At the beginning of the farming, the wheat and corn in the four and a half acres of watered land and the sweet potatoes in the five and a half acres of mountain land of the Wang family had to be harvested, and the farm in the family was inseparable from people, so after the farming, the Wang family's manpower suddenly became nervous.

In farming, Wang Shaodong is much worse than his parents in terms of physical strength and experience, so as soon as the farm is busy, Wang Shaodong is left at home to take care of the chickens in the five greenhouses, while his parents are in a hurry to harvest crops in the field.

The autumn harvest begins with the breaking of corn. The wheat has been harvested after the summer solar term, and the wheat field is full of wheat stubble.

After the corn is harvested, sorghum, millet, sweet potatoes and so on are harvested. Sorghum and millet are not crops grown in every family, but sweet potatoes are crops grown by the villagers in Taohualing Village.

Originally, when they were poor, sweet potatoes were used as food to eat, but now everyone has enough corn and white flour to eat, and sweet potatoes are mainly used to feed pigs or sell them directly for money.

The mountainous terrain is barren and not suitable for growing other crops, but sweet potatoes are a crop that adapts well to the mountainous environment.

If there were no sweet potatoes introduced from Luzon in 1593 at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the land of Taohualing Village would still be deserted.

Watching his parents work hard in the field every day, while he was idle every day walking around a few chicken coops, Wang Shaodong felt very uncomfortable.

It was too hard for my parents to plant ten acres of land.

That will change next year, though. By the time of next year, after I set up an ecological agriculture company, the ten acres of land in my home can be completely handled by the company's employees for spring planting and autumn harvest.

From mid-September to the end of October every year, it is the time of the autumn corn harvest. Then, after the corn is harvested, the families are busy cutting sweet potatoes again.

Sweet potato is a root crop, the moisture content is relatively high, not suitable for preservation, and then the common people will play their ingenuity, cut the sweet potato into thin slices, and then dry it into dried sweet potato, which solves the problem of storage.

Sweet potato is a high-yield crop, with a yield of about seven or eight thousand catties per mu, and about 1,500 catties of dried sweet potatoes dried in the sun.

All sweet potatoes should be dried before they are frozen, otherwise they will rot as soon as they are frozen.

In 2002, if you hire someone to harvest corn, it costs about 35 yuan per acre of land, but Wang Fumin and his family are not willing to accept it.

This year, Wang Fumin and his family planted two acres of wheat and harvested 1,600 catties of wheat, which was enough for them to eat for a year. The remaining two and a half acres of irrigated land, Wang Fumin's two families were all planted with corn. Now because the corn seeds are good, the yield is also very high, and one mu can produce more than 1,000 catties. You must know that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the yield per mu of corn was only about 150 catties to 300 catties.

The progress of science and technology has brought great benefits to human beings, but on the one hand, some technologies have brought convenience to people, but also brought hidden dangers.

For example, the use of a large number of pesticides and fertilizers has begun to harm people's health in the food grown by farmers.

Wang Shaodong has the heart to run a completely ecological and green agricultural enterprise, at least the things he produces can be eaten boldly with confidence, which is the basic requirement.

At the end of September, Wang Fumin and his family leaned on the ground all day long.

Two and a half acres of corn and five and a half acres of sweet potatoes can't be harvested in a month by two people alone.

Then during this time, Wang Shaodong was very idle.

After getting up every day, Wang Shaodong needs to go to the other three chicken farmers to see the growth of their chickens, the temperature and humidity, record the casualties, and observe the health status of the large group. Wang Shaodong is a careful person and is very attentive to raising chickens, which makes Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang The three helpers dare not slack off.

Moreover, for Wang Shaodong's knowledge of raising chickens, the big guys are also very impressed.

As long as he listens to the voices in the large flock, Wang Shaodong can almost judge the health of the chickens, which cannot be done without seven or eight years of breeding experience.

It will take more than an hour to finish this work, and then for the rest of the morning, Wang Shaodong will have nothing to do.

At home, the two chicken coops are taken care of by Liu Yujiang's wife and Su Yulong's wife, and he is just observing the situation of the chicken flock and the chicken coop.

With more leisure time, Wang Shaodong uses it to surf the Internet.

Wang Shaodong occasionally plays online games, but most of the time, Wang Shaodong hopes to meet Ma Lili and chat.

However, what makes Wang Shaodong puzzled is that Ma Lili's attitude towards herself seems to be lukewarm, this is not the situation that Han Kang said in his previous life that Ma Lili likes herself.

This made Wang Shaodong very anxious, and he still regards Ma Lili as the object of his key cultivation in this life.

Next, Wang Shaodong began to plan a plan in his heart, that is, to find a reason for himself to go to Quancheng once a month. Only in this way can we have more contact with Ma Lili, and only then can we have the possibility of the next step.
