Chapter 463: Rice Planting

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass!

The seedlings are stacked on a manure basket and then carried to the paddy field. When they arrived at the field, they saw Zhou Furong driving the buffalo to work behind, Chen Wu and the others widened their eyes and said secretly: I said it! Why didn't you see this kid just now, it turned out that he came here.

Zhou Furong made the buffalo, quickly reached the corner, and hurriedly shouted: "Turn left, turn left!" ”

These languages were all taught to him by the second uncle just now, and the buffalo began to move to the left. These buffaloes, they have learned to plow the fields, they are used to a certain language, and they have formed a certain conditioned reflex. This is thanks to the fact that people who have just started teaching cattle have used certain methods.

The person in charge of the plough tied a bamboo branch to the ox rope and held it in one hand, so that it was easy to drive the oxen to plow the field. When "teaching" the ox to move forward, it should shout "ha, go", when it retreats, it should shout "retreat", when it stops, and when it turns, it should shout "turn". These "ox skills" must be "taught" to the ox so that the ox can plough the field, and it must be shouted this when plowing the field in the future. Generally, the cow can be "taught" well in a week. "Teach" the ox to be continuous, without interruption, until the ox can plough the field normally.

After teaching the cow, there is another interesting thing. Some farmers would deliberately catch a handful of mud and put it on the head of the oxen, saying to the oxen, "Remember to plow the fields." During the period of "teaching oxen" to learn to plow, it is necessary to plow the field often, otherwise "teaching oxen" will forget the "technique" of plowing.

"No, I'm going to try it too!" Chen Wu immediately hugged his trouser leg and was about to go over to grab the position.

Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly stopped: "Slow! Buffaloes are not intelligent animals and cannot adapt to so many sounds for a while. Didn't you see that guy wasn't able to command at this time? You all have to try it one by one, and when will this field be raked, don't make a mess. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu and the others were very unwilling, and they knew that they would also come over here.

Zhou Furong got a little carried away and unconsciously whipped a buffalo. The speed of the buffalo suddenly accelerated, and Zhou Furong behind did not pay attention. That's the tragedy, the guy immediately got a big horse. Fell into the mud of the field.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. The second uncle reacted, hurriedly walked over, stopped the buffalo, and then helped Zhou Furong up. Wait for Zhou Furong to get up. has become a clay figure.

"Nephew Zhou. It didn't hurt, did it? Hurry to the creek next to you and wash it, then go home and change your clothes. Chu Shengmin asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" He said it was fine, but that look. Like someone who has nothing to do?

"Haha! Ha ha! Well deserved, well deserved! "Brother Wren flew over and sang a diagonal show. The others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they held back one by one.

Zhou Furong grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at Brother Wren: "Don't let me catch it next time." Otherwise, there are you who look good. You people, laugh if you want, grandma! Lao Tzu is so unlucky. ”

After saying that, the guy walked to the side stream to wash the mud with a miserable look. This time, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Xiaobao carried a small plastic bucket and followed behind, catching the reptile like other children. This little reptile looks a bit silly, and it doesn't look as disgusting and ugly as other bugs, so many children like to catch it.

Inside the village. There are two kinds of insects that children like to catch, in addition to this kind of climbing dog, there is also a bamboo shoot worm that eats bamboo shoots. It was a beetle with very long claws, and if you accidentally got scratched by them. Bleeding may occur. Therefore, after being caught, the two sharp parts of their claws are usually broken.

The bamboo shoot is not ugly, its nose is the same as that of an elephant. It's long. There are two colors, one yellow. The other is black. Of course, there are also yellow and black varieties, which are probably hybrids!

Children love to tie one of their legs with a thin string and let them fly after catching them. In addition, this insect is aggressive, and some people use it to fight.

"Be careful, little one! Go back like a little mud monkey and watch out for your grandparents scolding you. Chen Wu said to Xiaobao.

"What are you catching these bugs for?" Liang Yu and the others asked.

"Brother Dayong in the village said that this kind of insect can be eaten, it is delicious, and the little squirrel will also like it. I caught it back for the little squirrel and the red panda. Xiaobao replied truthfully.

"Can this bug be eaten? Specially drilled underground, I guess it's not hygienic, right? Li Quan said.

Chu Jiaqiang shook his head: "You can't say that, on the contrary, they are safe food." Although it is drilled underground, this soil is not polluted and there is no worry. Moreover, these things specialize in gnawing on tender roots and are rich in nutrients. In the past, we roasted and eaten it when we were young, and it was no worse than a bee pupae. ”

When Chen Wu and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly became much hotter when they looked at those reptile dogs.

"Huh! This little bug is quite cute, will it bite? I'm going to have one too. Chen Xiang spoke.

"Cute is cute, but it's a pest. Don't worry, you can't hurt anyone, even if you bite, it won't hurt. Chu Jiaqiang explained.

After speaking, the second uncle swept the paddy field again. Chu Jiaqiang carried a farm tool and leveled the paddy field, where there was more mud, dragged a little to the place with less mud, and went through the corners and corners.

The second aunt threw the bundles of seedlings in the dung basket evenly into the middle of the field, and everyone followed, lined up in a line, and began to plant the field.

Rice planting is not an easy task, and although it does not require a lot of force, you have to bend your back against the soil all day long. This scene is the scene with the face of the loess and the back to the sky.

The mud in the field is not very deep, and the trouser legs are just enough to submerge the calves. The stickiness of the soil made everyone a little uncomfortable at first, and they couldn't help but do a few activities.

The second aunt will demonstrate and teach everyone how to plant seedlings. After all, many of them are trying it for the first time, and although it is a simple job, it will not be surprising. Everyone watched it again, and listened to the second aunt explain some matters that should be paid attention to, and they quickly mastered it.

Everyone picked up the small bundle of seedlings thrown into the paddy field, untied them, put them in their left hands and began to plant the seedlings. Each person holds a handful of seedlings in their left hand, and quickly inserts the seedlings with their right hand, and at the same time as the right hand plants the seedlings, the thumb and middle finger of the left hand quickly "divide the seedlings" from a handful of seedlings, that is, divide a small handful, and then let the right hand insert into the seedling field.

When planting seedlings, the width of the seedlings can be about one meter wide, and the seedlings that can be planted are very straight both horizontally and vertically.

When planting seedlings, we should also pay attention to the feet in the field as little as possible, because the more the feet move, the more footprints, and the more mud pits will be stepped on, and if a seedling is just inserted in the mud puddle or the edge, it is possible to float to the water surface under the buoyancy of the water, then the position of the footprints will be one less seedling.
