Chapter 3 Superb melon seedlings
The next day, the sky was still clear.
For the villagers of Huayan Village, this is the busiest season, and August is the time when the farming season is busy, and Shen Qiang's family is no exception.
His parents went to the melon field, leaving him alone at home to dry the grain.
The villagers in Huayan Village greeted him warmly when they saw him as a college student and asked him what his job was like.
Shen Qiang smiled and replied that he would come back to help his parents do some work.
At the end of the day, to harvest the millet in the evening, the rickshaw pulls home, although Shen Qiang is sweaty, there is a different kind of comfort in his heart, compared to the life of work, how beautiful it is at home.
Now, as soon as he returns, this work of drying the grain will be handed over to him.
At dinner, Shen Qiang helped his father count the watermelon seeds, calculating how many seeds to sow, last year's watermelons did not sell well, very cheap, in the end, it was almost a loss-making transaction, this year, the parents still planted watermelons, not for anything else, just because they didn't know what to do.
While Shen Qiang was counting the seeds, a thought suddenly popped into his head, can these seeds be planted in the space, after all, in there, there is the purest soil and spring water, or, get some of the soil and spring water inside, and use them to cultivate seeds, what kind of effect will it be.
As soon as such an idea came to mind, Shen Qiang's mood suddenly became a little excited, maybe this method can really be tried.
After his parents fell asleep, Shen Qiang secretly took some watermelon seeds and entered the space according to the old method.
Shen Qiang smiled bitterly, cautiously walked to the fountain of life that the sleeping worm said, touched his pocket, took out the plastic bag that had been prepared a long time ago, filled it with a little water, and sowed those seeds on the land next to the fountain of life.
Shen Qiang squatted and observed for a while, he didn't see any vitality, and thought to himself, too, firstly, although it was bright here, it was not the sunlight that plants needed, and secondly, no matter how it was, the growth of seeds was not so fast.
With this in mind, Shen Qiang prepared to use the soil here to try it when it was time to sow watermelon seeds.
Now melon farmers grow watermelons, when sowing watermelons, the first thing to do is to use a paper cup similar to a glass, this paper cup is generally black, there is a hole at the bottom, for the seeds to germinate and stay, in the plastic cup to fill more than half of the soil, and then, put a grain of watermelon seeds in the paper cup, and then apply a layer of soil on it, each cup contains a seed.
This practice is more conducive to the smooth germination of seeds, Shen Qiang's family planted not many watermelons, a total of six acres of land, according to each acre of about 220 watermelons, arranged into cups minus some that did not germinate, about 1500 paper cups.
This kind of work of putting soil into the cup and watering the seeds every day is much easier than cutting the crops, and Shen Qingyang didn't want his son to be too tired when he came back, so he handed over this job to Shen Qiang.
This time, just with Shen Qiang's thoughts, he was still struggling before, how to avoid his parents, use space soil to fill the cup, now it's okay, everything is done by himself, it will be much easier.
At noon the next day, the temperature outside was at least 35 degrees, and the blazing sun baked the surface of the ground, but in such weather, my parents still went out to work, if they didn't go, it was estimated that they would not be able to finish so much farm work during this period of time, which was somewhat helpless.
Shen Qiang entered the space, looked at the few seeds planted in it yesterday, and still didn't react at all, he thought in his heart, it was estimated that it was useless to plant in this place.
took out the fertilizer bag of rice prepared in advance, and Shen Qiang prepared to pack him with two bags to go out.
Silently reciting in his heart, Shen Qiang found that he had not left this space, which surprised him greatly, and he was about to go to find the sleeping worm, but before Shen Qiang passed, the sleeping worm himself spoke.
"Master, if you want to take what is here, you have to answer the question!"
Shen Qiang looked at this sleeping insect, it looked full of energy and vigor at this time, its short body walked on the dirt, and its pace was also steady and powerful, Shen Qiang squatted down.
"Little one, what questions do you want to answer?"
"Master, I don't think you belong to that kind of smart person, the first time I answer, I'll give you a brain teaser first."
Shen Qiang was speechless for a while, why did this guy say so arrogantly that he was not a smart person.
"Lao Wang has to shave his face forty or fifty times a day, but he still has a beard on his face, what is the reason, you are limited to answer within one minute, you can say multiple answers in this minute, and there is only one correct one." After the sleeping insect finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qiang with big eyes, and the two small and short hands were actually clasped on his chest like a human, which looked like a penguin.
This little guy actually has such a spiritual surname, which surprised Shen Qiang, it is almost like a person, but the appearance of it looking down on himself makes Shen Qiang feel very unhappy.
"Master, the time is almost up, why haven't you said an answer yet, haha, I think you can't say it, ten, nine, eight, seven, ......"
"Lao Wang is a barber."
The little guy was counting proudly, and when he heard Shen Qiang's answer, the expression on his face froze.
"Okay, you can take your stuff out."
Shen Qiang picked up a bag of dirt on his back and was about to go out silently, but he heard the little guy talking about something.
"A bag of dirt, a total weight of one hundred and two pounds."
Shen Qiang was a little puzzled, put down the bag, and asked, "Hey! What are you talking about, little one? ”
"Don't call me little guy, I'm the super invincible guardian of the most bullish space in the sky and on the ground." The little guy said arrogantly.
Shen Qiang thought it was funny, this little guy didn't know if he was angry because he was able to answer the brain teaser just now, looking at its attitude, it was really a little angry.
"Okay, Yoyo, what do you mean by dirt, what weight is one hundred and two pounds?"
"You answered the simplest question correctly, that is, you can take two hundred catties of soil and two buckets of spring water out, more you won't be able to get out, less is easier to say," said leisurely and casually.
Shen Qiang understood that daring to love was not only a space for cheating, but also a space for slamming the door.
He still wanted to ask Yoyo to question, but he didn't want to, this guy was still in good spirits just now, and he would go to snoring and sleeping again.
Shen Qiang tried, and sure enough, he couldn't go beyond it, he could only estimate that he brought back nearly two hundred catties of soil, and the spring water was not used for the time being, and he would not use it until the fifteen hundred plastic cups were filled with soil and buried with seeds.
All afternoon, Shen Qiang was busy loading cups, that is, putting the soil into those plastic cups, all the work was carried out in the Tianchi in front of the house, spreading a piece of film paper on the ground, putting the soil on the film paper, and one person filled the cup like this.
Shen Qiang's speed of loading cups is also quite fast, but in one afternoon, he still couldn't get so many cups, helplessly, Shen Qiang spent two afternoons loading all the cups.
After the seeds were sown, Shen Qiang smoothly extracted two buckets of water from the space, and the seeds that had just been sown in the plastic cup enjoyed the purest and most nutritious spring water.
There is excellent soil, plus the best spring water, what makes Shen Qiang quite surprised is that the next day when he went to look at those seedlings in the melon field, in one day, they all began to grow two basal leaves crazily, and each plant was full of green.
This surprised Shen Qiang, and Shen Qingyang sighed again and again, he has been planting watermelons for five or six years, and it is the first time he has seen such good seedlings.
In the next two days, the growth rate of the seedlings once again opened Shen Qiang's eyes, originally the melon seedlings needed at least seven days to grow some thick leaves, and then they could be planted, which was good, after three days, the melon seedlings were already strong and had to be planted in advance.
However, Shen Qingyang looked at it and was particularly puzzled, after so many years of planting melons, he knew very well that the melon seedlings in front of him were not simple, and asked Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang found an excuse and said that the soil for the cup and the water for pouring the seedlings were specially made, which was given to him by a classmate who specialized in agriculture in one of his universities, and this kind of soil and spring water is very nutritious.
Shen Qingyang heard that it was a high-tech product, and he dispelled his doubts, these days, people with knowledge will be more or less respected by these simple rural people, let alone high-tech products, as soon as he saw the gratifying melon seedlings growing, Shen Qingyang was also happy.
Sure enough, like the slogans written on the wall outside, knowledge is power.
On the fourth day, the melon field had been turned over in advance and covered with white film, and the family was busy for two days before finally planting the watermelon seedlings.
The villagers were amazed when they saw their melon seedlings, most of the villagers in Huayan Village had planted watermelons, and it was the first time they had seen such good melon seedlings for so many years, and each one was so strong.
After finishing the watermelon work, the family began to harvest the remaining rice.
The harvest was very tiring, but it made Shen Qiang feel extremely fulfilled.
For more than a month at home, he was busy with farm work, and his skin had long since lost the fairness he had when he came back, and now it has become a little yellow, and the whole person looks like he has lost the demeanor of a college student.
The growth of watermelons is very gratifying, and even many villagers are extremely shocked, and they have never seen watermelons that are so neat and growing so well, and they can't help but ask Shen Qingyang for advice, how to grow this melon.
Shen Qingyang's face was also full of joy, the villagers asked him, and he said that it was because he had high-tech products at home.
Next, what surprised the villagers even more was that Shen Qingyang's watermelon had not had a single pest infestation for more than a month, and now, pesticides were also saved.
When many people passed by, they couldn't help but take a second look, the villagers of Huayan Village, there are many melon farmers, as soon as they heard that there is such good soil and nutrient water, they all want to come back, but unfortunately Shen Qiang said that the friend has nothing extra now, and the villagers can only leave with pity.
Shen Qiang is not a stingy person, he still doesn't know what the effect of this soil is, why do you have to wait until his watermelon is ripe to see the effect, if there are other problems, isn't it the people in the pit village.
