The early risers also affected the tourists who stayed in the village, and when they heard that the village farm had started to harvest rice on a large scale today, they all climbed up excitedly to experience the taste of the harvest up close.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on Qinglong Village, all the men, women and children of the village were ready, and everyone walked towards the field outside the village with sickles and poles.

Beside them, tourists with cameras around their necks are interested in recording the scenes full of local flavor in front of them.

The water in the farm's paddy fields is drained as early as the rice ears are filled, and after nearly a month of wind and sun, the soil in the paddy fields has become as hard as iron and can easily bear the weight of the human body.

The main force of harvesting rice is the big girls and little daughters-in-law, I saw them lightly waving the sickle in their hands, "clacking" to knock down a large piece of rice, and then in a special way on the specially left section of straw on top, forming a golden "rice dragon".

They have repeated this action thousands of times, so it doesn't seem to have any muddy and watery feeling, but has a hint of flowing water, which has become a scenery that attracts many tourists.

And the "golden dragons" left behind them are another landscape, a landscape that entrusts the joy of harvest.

As for the strong labourers who are in charge of the household, they have a more important task, they need to carry out threshing work and carrying paddy.

The threshing work is carried out with a very primitive tool, which is a bucket made of wood, about two meters long and wide, and about eighty centimeters high. Each bucket can have two people to threshing work, each of them occupies a corner, each grabs a handful of paddy, picks it up, and then pulls it down, and uses the impact of the rice ear and the bucket to thresh.

The sound of "clang" one after another, mixed with the singing of the women harvesting the rice in front, became a beautiful symphony of harvest.

And whenever the grain in the bucket accumulates to a certain amount, someone will carry the basket over and transport the rice inside. Then the threshing person continues with the original work.

This is the most original way to harvest rice, but it has a different flavor.

In the process of harvesting rice, from time to time, one or two rice chickens are driven out of the rice fields. Because these rice chickens have lived a happy life in the rice field for a month or two, they are all fat and can't fly, and can only flutter everywhere in the rice field, causing the little baby who picks up rice ears in the field to shout and scream, but it adds a bit of relaxed atmosphere to the busy work.

In addition to reducing waste, they also expect parents to find eggs from the rice bushes and eat them beautifully.

In the midst of mechanized mass production, this spectacular sight of the whole family fighting together has long since disappeared, which makes tourists from the city feel very fresh. They always feel that their memory card is not enough, and no matter how much they shoot, they can't restore the harmonious and joyful scene in front of them in the photos, because no matter how realistic the photos are, there are no more smells and laughter that can touch the hearts of the scene.

The threshed paddy is transported by the strong laborers to the farm's already prepared drying field for drying, and the weather on this year's National Day is very good, and the sun is shining brightly during the day every day, showing the power of the autumn tiger. By the time all the paddy has been harvested, the first threshing paddy has been dried and is stored in warehouses waiting to be sold.

With the completion of the rice harvest, the originally golden field became bare, and only a few unwilling birds and birds haunted the field from time to time, looking for scattered rice from the field.

However, for these paddy fields on the farm, this does not mean that the work is done, but that the round of work is over. Farm workers need to prepare for a new round of work.

These paddy fields are all winter paddy fields, and the water in the fields was dried up just to facilitate harvesting. Now that the rice is harvested, it is necessary to plough, store water, and fertilize to lay a solid foundation for rice production in the coming year.

This kind of work is tantamount to abandoning these fields for half a year, and the management of farms such as He Yingqi suggested that Zeng Cheng use this half year to grow a season of vegetables in these fields, but Zeng Cheng rejected their proposal after careful consideration.

It is true that planting a single crop of vegetables in these fields in the winter can increase the yield of these fields, but it is undoubtedly a drain on the fertility of the fields, which is not good for rice production. Nowadays, there is no shortage of land on farms to grow vegetables, so there is no need for it.

………………

After the rice harvest is completed, the focus of people's work in Qinglong Village and even the entire Jiuli Township has shifted to the transformation of farms and the construction of orchards.

Although there are more than 20,000 residents in Jiuli Township, the real labor force is less than 10,000 today, and this still includes some elderly people who have the ability to work and half-grown children who have dropped out of school and are at home. In fact, there are less than 5,000 strong laborers. The main reason is that there are too many young people who have gone out to work in the past two years.

Although at the beginning of this year, many young people in Qinglong Village stayed at home because of Xianyuan Farm, but the situation in other villages has not changed much. In particular, in the three villages located on Baihuling, Xuanwu Mountain and Zhuque Mountain, the young and middle-aged people, as in previous years, basically all went out to work.

Nowadays, the transformation of farms and the construction of orchards require too much labor. After all, the expansion area is too large, there are 25,000 acres of dry land on the farm alone, most of which are located on three mountains, and it takes a lot of work to transform it into land suitable for growing greenhouse vegetables, and it is conservatively estimated that millions of laborers are needed. Even if all the labor force in Jiuli Township is dispatched, it will take three or four months to complete.

Not to mention, it is impossible to use all of this labor to transform the farm, and the same amount of labor is needed elsewhere. Among them, the largest demand for labor is naturally the construction of orchards.

Zeng Cheng leased 8,000 acres of barren mountains in the township, which were planned to be used to build fruit orchards. Before that, these barren mountains were real barren mountains, with some weeds or bushes growing on them. The soil on these barren mountains is very thin and the fertility is seriously insufficient. Transforming it into an orchard suitable for fruit trees requires a lot of labor and capital.

For these sites, Zeng Cheng still plans to plant mainly peach trees, pear trees, plum trees, grapes and other fruits. Together with the 500 acres of orchards built before, the total area of the orchards has reached 8,500 acres.

Not only that, after careful investigation by Dai Mingguang, the person in charge of the orchard, and several technicians of the orchard, it was found that many places in the forest land rented by Zeng Cheng were actually suitable for the development of fruit orchards.

These woodlands are mainly sparsely wooded marginal woodlands, which are ideal for growing kiwifruit. Sparse trees in the woodland can be used as natural kiwi shelves.

In the end, after careful selection, the technicians selected about 3,000 acres of sunny south, southeast and southwest slopes, which generally have a slope of no more than 30 degrees, which are extremely suitable places for growing kiwifruit.

As a result, the total area of the orchard has exceeded 11,000 acres, approaching 12,000 acres. Compared with the previous planting area of 500 acres of orchards, it has increased by more than 20 times.

There is no doubt that kiwifruit, with a planting area of more than 3,000 acres, has become the fruit tree variety with the largest planting area.

The construction process of such a large area of orchard is a huge project, and after the construction is completed, the planting of fruit trees is also a huge project. A total of 2,000 people were hired for the entire orchard expansion project, but it would take at least three months to complete the project.

Because the various projects of Xianyuan Farm require a large amount of labor, during this time, not only the local people in Jiuli Township were basically hired by Zeng Cheng, but even many people from several towns around Jiuli Township also went to Jiuli Township to work.

Because of the proximity to their homes, these people are not only paid a lot of money for their labor, but they are also able to take care of their families, which is a very popular job for the locals.

And just when the work of the farm was in full swing, Zeng Cheng left Jiuli Township again.

This time, Zeng Cheng's excuse for going out was to contact the farm with fruit seedlings and some breeding varieties, otherwise many things would be difficult to explain.

After signing a new land lease contract with the Jiuli Township Government, He Yingqi proposed to start booking fruit seedlings from nurseries near Yudu, and strive to plant fruit seedlings in all fruit tree planting areas around the beginning of winter.

However, Zeng Cheng rejected He Yingqi's suggestion, saying that he had booked a batch of three-year-old fruit seedlings in the best nursery in China, and when the time came, he could achieve the harvest in the shortest possible time.

Zeng Cheng said that the best nursery in China actually refers to Baicao Space, Zeng Cheng last year when he bought seedlings for the previous 500 acres of orchards, he had prepared more than 100,000 saplings of various fruit trees in Baicao Space.

In the past ten months, due to the time acceleration function of Baicao Space, these originally annual fruit tree seedlings have been growing in Baicao Space for more than two years. In addition, they have received the nourishment of the spatial spiritual spring and spiritual energy and thrived, and they have begun to take shape.

However, because Zeng Cheng did not plant these saplings, although they grew very stout, they have not yet blossomed and borne fruit. (To be continued.) )
