Chapter 134: Mangzhong
Mango seeds are planted, wheat with mangs is harvested quickly, and rice with mangs can be planted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, it has not yet reached Xiaoman, and the pods of rapeseed in the field have seen loquat yellow.
Daddy Qin **** was thinking in his heart, thinking that the rape had finally bloomed to this time for more than 20 days, taking advantage of the good weather, early in the morning, he and Qin Lianhu and the brothers cut down the rape stalks with dew, but they were not directly spread in the field and exposed to the sun like others, but bundled while collecting, and transported them home one by one, and piled them in the yard to dry.
The rape stalks piled up into a hill are dried for a few days, and when the rapeseed is dried and the pods are cracked, the rapeseed jumps out of the pod, the men are still cleaning up the rapeseed stakes in the field, and the old lady Qin leads the daughters-in-law to wear big straw hats and smocks to spread bamboo mats in the yard, and one wall to beat rapeseed and one wall to screen.
This kind of work has already been done by Yao's concubines, and they have a tacit understanding.
Flails "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! Flying up and down, the sound of beating one after another, loud and crisp, not in a hurry, steady and rhythmic.
A broom and a dustpan, put away the broken rapeseed and use a coarse sieve to sift off the pods repeatedly in the wind, the remaining pods fall with the wind, and the black and shiny rapeseed falls in the bamboo basket like rain.
The peppercorns and bay leaves were not idle, and they were busy pulling out the rape stalks and piling them aside, and the fennel was pulled into a handful, leaving them for the fire.
Only this box of rapeseed is still in the yard to dry, although the tip of the wheat grain has a green meaning, you can use the tip of your finger to cross, the wheat has appeared waxy, nine mature and ten harvest, it is the harvest of Chenguang.
Unlike rice, rice is suitable for harvesting later, so that the rice tastes good. Wheat is suitable for harvesting earlier, and if the wheat is too ripe, the face will be weak, and the appearance will naturally be less.
The sickle was opened to cut the wheat, the wheat was raised in the rolling yard, and the men in the house were so bitter that their eyebrows were sweaty and their palms were foaming. Even the peppercorns on their arms, which were busy laying down their hands, were stimulated by Mai Mang's red dots, which were painful and itchy.
The mint that was transplanted in the yard came in handy at this time, and every night I took a hot bath with mint leaves, ate a cold noodle made of fresh wheat, and the next day it was alive again.
"The Tian family has few idle months, and people are busy in May."
The rapeseed and wheat in the field have just been snatched back, and the reed leaves have been peeled and eaten the Dragon Boat Festival zongzi, and the sky is coming.
"Smelling the fragrance of zongzi, the three-year-old learns to grow seedlings."
The busiest season of the year kicks off with the fragrance of reed leaves and glutinous rice.
The rain was continuous, cloudy and sunny, and the men of the family were busy hoeing, fertilizing, releasing water, and raking the fields to prepare for the fields.
The soil is rotten like a face, and it is level in the mirror, which is the standard for measuring the quality of seedling fields that both generations of pepper have heard.
The seedlings that were soaked, germinated, and planted before the rain were ready to be transplanted after about a month of seedling age, and the soil on the roots was washed off after being pulled out of the seedling field by riding a seedling horse.
It takes some effort to pull out the seedlings, but also to make some dark energy and ingenuity, while pulling and washing while tying, the knot of the bundle is also exquisite, it must be a slipknot, and it can be untied by hand. Then neatly stack them in the rice basket, filter out the water, and pick them up in the field.
The Qin family has been accustomed to it for many years, and the female dependents never go to the fields, and the production and agricultural tasks such as plowing the fields, treadmills, plowing the fields, planting seedlings, harvesting, and playing fields are all handled by men.
Only the little boys in the family, no matter how young they are, have to go to the fields.
"Children pull seedlings and plant seedlings" is a portrayal.
However, in the eyes of Sichuan pepper, the rice field may not be a chore for these little boys, but a rare pleasure.
The seedling gate was opened, and the stars on the horizon had not yet disappeared, and the people of the field had already walked on the narrow and winding fields with the rice baskets, and the flat poles creaked. As soon as dawn broke, you could see a group of people in the field pulling the seedling rope, and another group of people picking and throwing seedlings.
Pulling the rice rope is also a technical work, the two people respectively hold the two ends of the field, the angle of view, can not be slanted, the hemp rope can not be too loose or too tight.
Throwing seedlings seems to be chaotic, but in fact, there are rules. It is necessary to throw it according to the space that a handful of seedlings can probably reach, so as to save labor, time and labor.
The fields of the pepper family are not close to the furniture, and the pepper can only follow the aunts and sisters who deliver food and tea, or the little boys who go to school to see the fields.
The seedling rope is pulled, the seedlings are thrown, and the rest is the seedlings.
Pull up your trouser legs and go to the field barefoot, just like boxing, your hands, eyes and body must be in place. Hold the straw with the left hand, untie the straw with the right hand and divide the seedlings, hold four or five seedlings between the thumb and index finger of the right hand, and bend down to insert the seedlings in the paddy field. There are exactly six bushes in a row, and each bush is about six or seven inches apart.
Hunched over, his steps backwards, light and steady, the mud emitting a continuous and regular "chirping, chirping" sound from under his feet.
The seedlings are inserted into the soil, and the roots of the seedlings must be straight and smooth. Because it is the high temperature in summer, it is too shallow to burn the seedling roots, so you might as well go a little deeper, and by the way, it is to turn green quickly.
The uncles in the family are all good at raising seedlings, even Qin Lianbao, who came back from leave to work with the farm, is also a dragonfly with water, horizontal and vertical.
As for the busy workers invited, most of them are experts who have worked in the Qin family for many years, and they are skillful, the seedlings are properly divided, the seedling speed is fast, the spacing between the rows and columns is accurately controlled, criss-crossed, and the symmetry is beautiful.
Father Qin taught the little boys who went home from school to help the little boys master the essentials, and threw the first few small ones to the corner of the field outside the seedling rope to practice.
Sichuan pepper also led the bay leaves to look over, and saw that a few little boys' minds were not on the seedlings, there was distraction, for a while the fifth cousin slapped to death a leech sucking on the leg, and shed a stall of blood, and for a while the fourth cousin caught a loach and threw it on the ridge of the field called pepper bay leaves, and then, the black and purple bay leaves that were eating mulberries were bluffed back again and again, and almost fell into the field.
Lilac jumped out and whispered, "Look what you have done to the ground, are you all buffaloes?" He also pointed out the uneven distribution of the seedlings of their crops, and the uneven ranks of the seedlings: "It is like a water snake crossing a river, and tomorrow it will float up to the roots, what use do you want!" ”
The fourth cousin and the fifth cousin coaxed: "You can do it, you can come!" ”
Lilac really took off her shoes and socks and put them aside, pulled up her trouser legs, and went down to the field.
It's not that she was provoked by her brothers, but she was itching for a long time and wanted to give it a try.
recalled the actions taught by Father Qin before, and slowly raised the seedlings.
Xiangye stood on the ground with round eyes and didn't dare to move, but Hua Jiao had secretly taken off her shoes and socks, pulled up her trouser legs, sat on the edge of the field, and stretched her feet into the field.
Only one toe had just been stained with muddy water, and it had quickly shrunk back, so I knew that the water temperature in this seedling field was not ordinary hot. (To be continued.) )
