Chapter 282: Spring Ploughing (2)
Therefore, Zhao Qing agreed to Li Ziyu's suggestion.
The reason why he agreed was not that he wanted to watch Li Ziyu's family's land being trampled upon, but that he listened to what Li Ziyu said was very reasonable.
Since the old village chief agreed, Li Ziyu began to teach how to grow wheat.
Don't look at the fertilizer that has been integrated into the land yesterday, but today you have to add the process of having fertilizer.
First of all, Li Ziyu took the two nail rakes on the ground and explained the role of nail rakes to everyone.
The two-nail rake was forged from iron and a wooden handle of about a meter was installed. There are six serrations about five centimeters apart on it, and the serrations are about thirty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide.
Nail rakes are used to level the ground after the wheat has been planted.
And the square thing on the back of the ox is tied with wooden sticks and wires, which is called a drag rake. One end was tied to a cow's harness for future wheat pressing. The four ropes must be held tightly by the person standing on the rake, otherwise he will not be able to stand on the rake.
Li Ziyu knows that even if what is said in detail, they will not understand, and they can only understand it through practice.
So, Li Ziyu commanded an ox to pull the plow stick and start ploughing the ground, because it had been turned deep yesterday, so it was very easy to plough the ground today.
When the plough stick ploughed out the six ridges, Li Ziyu stopped.
She held a gourd ladle with wheat seeds in her hand and began to count the wheat seeds evenly along the furrow. I saw her grab a handful of wheat seeds, and with a casual lift, the wheat seeds landed accurately in the ditch in a parabola. The movements made are chic and wanton, skillful and relaxed, and the posture is more like a cropper than the old croppers watching from the side.
Finish ordering the wheat seeds. She filled another basket with a shovel-shaped manure basket and sprinkled it down the ditch with another round of fertilizer. The manure was evenly covered on the wheat seed and did not leak out of the furrow at all.
The crowd on the side was stunned. They watched her finish planting six ridges of wheat before she woke up from a dream.
"Wow! Good! Great! Xiaoyu, what are you really doing! ”
"Hey! Who did you learn this from? It's too similar, right? ”
"Yes, yes, it's even more skilled than my father, who taught you?"
Li Ziyu was secretly proud in her heart, and said in her heart, this is not blowing. When I was a child, I often followed my father and mother to the field to plant wheat. At that time, there were no machines for farming, and they had to operate it by hand. At that time, she was a standard master of pointing, and her father once praised her.
Thinking of my father. A sense of homesickness suddenly surged in my heart. I will never see my parents and younger brother in my life, but I hope they are carefree and happy in modern life.
After planting the seeds, Li Ziyu put the cow with the harrow on the leash and led the cow to the ground.
She asked Gazi to lead the cow in front. And she herself stood on the rake. Both hands tightly grasped the rope tied to the four corners of the harrow, and as the ox walked slowly, the harrow under his feet had flattened the ridges as he walked behind.
When he walked to the ground, Li Ziyu used a nail rake to find some uneven places, and after a while, a long flat wheat field appeared.
Li Ziyu put down the nail rake, looked at everyone and asked, "Grandpa, uncle, brothers." You understand this time, right? It's actually very simple, it's just different from what you're used to do. I promise. The wheat grown in this way will certainly yield more than what you have grown in the previous way. It's up to you to see if you don't like it, and if you don't, try it this year. Remember, one is to plough the ground deeply, the other is to fertilize more, and make sure to water on time. ”
As soon as these people heard that they could increase the yield, they immediately started planting according to Li Ziyu's practice just now, five acres of land, and the planting was completed in a short time.
After the wheat was planted, Li Ziyu carried a small iron pickaxe and began to dig small pits on the other five acres of land. The distance between the pits is 50 cm and the plant spacing is 30 cm.
After the two rows of small pits are planed, the corn seeds are carried with the original gourd scoop, and two corn seeds are placed in each small pit and a little water is poured on them. When the water seeps down, smooth out the pit.
The old village chief didn't wait for Li Ziyu's instructions this time, so they started planting corn according to Li Ziyu's example. Because growing corn is very simple, just like they grow sorghum.
Before it got dark, the ten acres of land were planted.
Li Ziyu watched everyone pack up their affairs and prepare to go home, thinking that they would have to go to Zhangkou Town to plant corn on their own village tomorrow, so she approached the old village chief and said, "Grandpa, will you all be okay tomorrow?" If I could, I would like you to come with me to Zhangkou Town for a hard day. ”
The reason why Li Ziyu said this is because these people have learned how to grow corn in the middle of the day today. Actually, it's really simple, and it's completely untechnical. As long as the fertilizer is sufficient, the moisture is sufficient, and the later management keeps up, the corn will definitely have a high yield.
She just wants to plant 100 acres of land in one day tomorrow, so she wants to bring everyone over, regardless of having a good meal at noon tomorrow.
Zhao Qing looked at Li Ziyu, suddenly thought of something, and said with a look of sudden realization: "Girl, did you buy land in Zhangkou Town?" ”
"Well, grandpa, I won't hide it from you, I bought a Zhuangzi there, it's not too big, just a hundred acres of land. I'm going to plant corn, and the people in our village will come with me for a day, and I'm going to finish planting tomorrow. ”
Li Ziyu didn't hide it, anyway, he couldn't hide it when he went there tomorrow, so he told Zhuangzi about it.
Li Ziyu's voice was not high, but she didn't deliberately lower her voice, and everyone who was packing up heard it, and they all subconsciously stopped packing up.
What did they just hear? Li Ziyu's family has a Zhuangzi in Zhangkou Town? And more than a hundred acres of land? Oh, my God! No wonder this Li family can afford to build such a big house, they must have made a fortune!
Zhao Qing was the first to come back to his senses, looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone heard it, right?" Tomorrow I will go to Zhangkou Town to plant corn for a day, who has something to say now, and I will find someone else tomorrow. ”
Li Ziyu continued: "My family will be responsible for taking care of the meal at noon tomorrow, and the salary will be the same, still fifty yuan." If you can't go, if you have something to do at home, just say it, and there will not be enough people to delay the work when the time comes. ”
"It's fine."
"Free."
"Hey, I have to go even if I have something."
"Definitely go."
When everyone hears that there is still a day of work, it means that they can still earn a day's wages, and they also take care of the food, who doesn't go is a fool, who can't get along with money? So they expressed their attitudes, and they will definitely come early tomorrow.
Li Ziyu said: "In this way, which of you will catch the car?" My house went to three carts, two ox carts, and one horse-drawn cart. But I don't have many ploughsticks and shovels and pickaxes in my house, and you still have them as before. It's just that when you come back, don't forget that you can't lose it, for fear of delaying your work. for it is time for your own land to be planted. ”
Everyone said yes and went home.
The old village chief walked at the back and walked side by side with Yang Lixin.
