Chapter 30 Planting Corn Next
Packaged seeds are also only seeds, and the seeds must be treated before planting. The method adopted by Tian Fei is to deal with tripping.
Tian Fei also purchased a certain amount of related pesticides, fungicides, micro-fertilizers, etc. What Tian Fei has to do is to dress the seeds according to a certain proportion, insecticides and fungicides to control pests and diseases, and micro-fertilizer to promote growth.
Tian Fei didn't plan to process all the seeds today, more than a thousand kilograms was not so easy to process.
I took out a large wooden barrel commonly used in the countryside from my home, put it directly in the yard and started drying. Tian Fei first poured two packets of 100 catties of corn seeds into the wooden barrel, then determined the dosage of the medicinal powder, mixed them into the corn seeds, and then stirred, which was similar to the noodles, it was purely a manual work.
"Brother Feifei, what are you doing?" A little boy asked Tian Fei.
This child is Tian Peng, the son of Tian Fei's third uncle, who is eleven years old and in the fifth grade this year. Seeing Tian Fei busy in the yard, he came over to watch.
"Why did you come here to play, don't you follow your grandfather to the mountains to plant corn, you help, and I will pay you a salary then." Tian Fei quipped.
"I'm not going, the sun is so big, it's hot."
"If you go, you'll have pocket money, and you can buy whatever you want." Tian Fei continued to bewitch.
"If I want pocket money, I can buy everything with my dad." Tian Peng said proudly.
Tian Fei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that now is not the era when he had to earn pocket money like when he was a child.
……
Tian Fei was busy chatting with Tian Peng.
"Brother Feifei, my dad said that you planted corn to raise pigs, can that person eat it?" Tian Peng asked again.
"Of course not, people will be as fat and stupid as pigs if they eat it." Tian Fei held back a smile.
Tian Peng was very disappointed, and wanted to be able to eat the corn planted by his brother in the future, and then saw Tian Fei's smiling face.
"If you lie to people, people will definitely be able to eat it!" Tian Peng reacted that he had been deceived by his brother.
……
At the end of July, the sun was blazing in Shuanghe Village. By ten o'clock, everyone had finished work and rested. Tian Fei's father took a notebook, gave the names of each villager who had finished work, and told him to come back at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Zhensheng, you said that your Tian Fei is buying fertilizer and inviting people, will the price of corn rise?"
"Yes, Zhensheng, did your Xiaofei hear any news outside? If it's really okay, let's grow some of our own. Someone asked again.
……
This is the case in rural areas, where you can't find a way, but you will follow suit. Seeing that Tian Fei made such a large scale every time, I thought Tian Fei should have some news. Fortunately, Tian Fei is only taking out money now, if he starts making money one day, he doesn't need to ask everyone to follow suit.
"There's no news either, isn't this mountain barren and barren, it's better to plant something, anyway, it's all needed by your own family, and it's not used to sell, so you won't lose anything." Tian Fei's father explained one by one.
"If you have land, you can also plant some corn, as long as the corn is okay, even if it can't be sold, the pig farm will harvest it." Tian Fei's father felt that it was cheaper to collect it in the village than to buy it outside.
……
In the afternoon, Tian Fei, his father and a few other elders who were eating at their house moved more than 500 catties of corn seeds to Bald Mountain.
In the morning and morning, we sorted out more than 40 acres of land, and in the afternoon, some people sowed seeds, and the other part continued to organize the land and dig pits.
In Shuanghe Village, corn planting is not very popular, so the degree of mechanization is quite low, and the corn is planted in the mountains, so Tian Fei and they can only rely on manual planting.
First, each person carried the seeds in a basket, and then threw two seeds into each dug pit. Then there was a man who filled the pit with a small shovel where the seeds had been planted, and covered it well, and pressed it firmly.
Tian Fei This is a sandy loam soil with loose soil texture and easy to dry, so the pit is a little deeper, reaching eight centimeters.
Everyone works together, and the efficiency is still very fast, and when the sun sets, everyone finishes work. Tian Fei counted that all the land that had been regularized in the morning had been planted with corn, and more than 20 acres had been additionally regularized.
Tian Fei's father was still in charge of registering the villagers who came to work in the afternoon, and Tian Fei also stood on the side to help.
"Uncles and aunts, we did a good job today, and we will continue tomorrow morning, and we had better fill a pot of water. Breakfast was the same as today, the buns were full, and it will be the same in the future. Also, if anyone has relatives who want to do it, they can also help call it. On such a hot day, try to dry well as soon as possible. ”
According to today's progress, Tian Fei felt that he would definitely not be able to finish it in a week, so he had to invite some more people to come over to do it.
"Really? Flying Boys. Then I'll call his uncle at night and ask him to come over tomorrow to do it. ”
……
Many women agreed to Tian Fei, thinking that they would ask their mother's family to do the same to earn some money.
"Call as many as you want, as long as you don't slip and don't be lazy. The wages are the same as yours. Tian Fei was very happy.
……
There was no word all night, and the time turned another day.
Early the next morning, most of the villagers who had worked the day before came, except for one or two who had something to do at home. In addition, there are some fresh faces, which should be relatives and friends called by the villagers.
Tian Fei asked them to lead the people they brought over to do it, anyway, planting corn is also crop work, these rural veterans will do it, as long as they cooperate well.
……
Tian Fei still has one more thing to do today, and that is corn irrigation.
The large pond at the top of the bald hill was built with cement a few days ago, and it has not been done until now. But the pump has not yet been installed because the excavator is still working and the water pipes have not been laid.
Tian Fei planned to use a soft leather water pipe, connect it to a water pump, and then pump water from the river in front of the pig farm to the large pool at the top of the mountain.
The amount of water in the river is still very large, and the water quality is also very good. Tian Fei called two other people, and everyone worked together to quickly pump the water from the river into the pool.
When preparing the land, drainage ditches are reserved on both sides of each ridge of land, and these drainage ditches are also good for irrigation.
……
At the foot of the mountain, eight excavators are lined up.
"Boss Tian, it's finally done, if there is still a project in the future, you can call Lao Li and me, I will definitely do it with you first."
After receiving Tian Fei's 10,000 yuan project money and 14,000 diesel money, Master Li said with a smile.
Under Tian Fei's urging, the excavator worked very fast, and it took four days to transform Bald Mountain. After that, it took more than two days to transform the cedar forest that had been cut down, and the project was completed within the specified time of Tian Fei.
"Thank you Master Li this time, the rest of the salary will be given to you at the end of the year according to the previous negotiation. There's no way, there's too much money to use. Although it has been explained before, Tian Fei will explain it again.
"It's okay, I'll contact my Lao Li later."
Then Master Li left with the convoy.
