Chapter 439 Preparation for Cultivation (2)

The two of them came to the cattle market, and Fang Lei asked: "When people buy cattle, they will look at the appearance of the cow, have you learned this hand?" ”

Ai Liang smiled and said: "I know a little bit about it, first look at the limbs, to be thick and powerful, the second look at the shoulders, to be fat and thick, and the third look at the waist and back, stable and straight, such a cow has the strength and patience to endure hardships and hard work!" ”

"It seems that this kid of yours didn't eat for nothing at other people's places, and he learned some knowledge!" Fang Lei praised.

Ai Liang asked, "Young Valley Lord! Shall we buy buffalo or yellow cow? ”

"Buy ten buffaloes, ten cattle, buffaloes are large and powerful, but they have a large amount of food and a short temper, let men control them, and use them to pull plows, and the cattle are small in size and slightly inferior in strength, but they have a small amount of food and a docile temper, so that girls can control them and use them to pull rakes!" Fang Lei said.

Ai Liang asked in surprise: "Young Valley Lord! You haven't farmed before! Why do you say it one by one? ”

Fang Lei smiled: "I haven't killed a pig, and I haven't seen a pig run?" In Qingfeng Village, there is a mountain villa behind the mountain, in my spare time, I also used to wander around, come and go, and the villagers are familiar with it, then talk about home, rural people are also three sentences do not leave the line, chatting and chatting, and talked about the topic of farming, if I knew in advance that there is a huge valley here, and can be reclaimed to plant rice, I would have learned farming techniques with them, so that there is no need to send you this kid to learn! ”

"Young Valley Lord! You've always had a good instinct, so why didn't you get it right this time? Ai Liang said.

Fang Lei said: "People say that horses have stumbled, and when people make mistakes, is it so effective every time? ”

In fact, he was also on a whim that day, and with a flash of inspiration, he went straight to the east to search for the past, although it was a little late, but his intuition was also accurate.

The two of them picked an hour in the bull market, and after some careful selection, they bought enough twenty cows, Fang Lei drove the buffalo in front, Ai Liang drove the cattle behind, and slowly walked towards Daoxianggu.

At dusk, the two of them drove the cattle back to the row of cowsheds in the West Valley, and Ai Qing had already ordered the sweet potato porridge to be cooked, and the cattle were fed to their heart's content, before they were led into the cattle pen and the wooden door was closed.

At dinner, Fang Lei said: "Ai Liang! Wait for you and the principal to work hard, select ten ploughmen and ten harrowers, and take them to the paddy fields tomorrow morning to practice, master the driving skills as soon as possible, and then tidy up the seedling fields and start sowing! ”

Before the words fell, Cai Juan first signed up: "Our five sisters learn the technology of raking, and then find five palm rakes!" ”

"Cai Zhengming and I will learn the plough technique, and we can find eight more plough makers!" Zhang Chi said.

Ai Liang said: "I am the ploughman myself, just find seven more!" ”

"That's one old man, just find six more!" Ai Qing said.

Don't look at his appearance like a young man, in fact, he and Ai Xing are the same generation, and he is one hundred and eighty-five years old this year, so it is not an exaggeration to call himself an old man.

Fang Lei hurriedly stopped: "You are the main business, you have to do the big and small affairs in the valley yourself, you can't be a plowman!" ”

"Then I'll introduce a few young people first, Ai Bo, Huang Feng, Ai Xiang and Zhang Jin, they are all down-to-earth young people, and they are very easy to use!" Ai Qing said.

Ai Liang said: "Then choose five more girls and three boys, right?" ”

"Aren't there five sisters in the women's team? Call them back again! Cai Juan proposed.

Fang Lei said with a smile: "From now on, it will not be called the women's sports team, it will be called the Ten Sisters!" ”

The next morning, Zhang Chi led the men's team to drive five buffaloes and five iron ploughs, and Cai Juan led the women's team to drive five cattle and five iron rakes to the field and began to learn the plough and rake technique.

Ai Liang began to teach the men the technique of ploughing, saying: "The main technique of plowing the field is to master the depth of the plough road, when it is deep, the right hand will lift the plow handle, when it is shallow, the plow handle will be lowered, and after adjusting the balance, the soil can be turned over smoothly and evenly!" ”

When he spoke, he first drove the plow to demonstrate, and after a few laps, he handed over the plow handle to Zhang Chi and asked him to try the plow first, and then taught a few more people, and slowly began to practice.

Ai Liang began to teach Cai Juan to harrow the ground again, saying: "Harrowing the field is different from ploughing, holding the rake rod with both hands and maintaining balance, you can scrape the turned mud and repeatedly rake it a few times to turn the soil into mud!" ”

Don't say it's a person, it's a cow, and also learned to bully the good and fear the evil, Zhang Chi is driving a big buffalo, strong and powerful, but also short-tempered, he held the plow and ploughed a few times, the cow bullied him into a new hand, but he didn't do it, twisted and twisted a few steps, stopped again, shouted twice and walked a few steps, all in the grinding of foreign workers.

Zhang Chi scolded in a low voice: "You brute, don't give some color to see, you don't know how powerful Lao Tzu is!" ”

As he spoke, he threw up the rope that led the cow's nose and twitched it its belly, and the cow went crazy, suddenly got rid of the wooden yoke around his neck, broke free from the rope in Zhang Chi's hand, and ran wildly on the ridge.

On the side of the road in front, there were three children playing, they followed the adults to dig sweet potatoes in the field, and they were also stupid at this time, no matter how the adults shouted, they didn't move half a step, seeing that a tragic murder was about to happen.

It's too late, it's fast, at this critical moment, Fang Lei suddenly jumped up, sat on the back of the cow, grabbed the two horns with both hands and twisted it, and the mad cow that came wildly jumped off the sweet potato field and continued to run forward.

Fang Lei put his right palm on the cow's head, and controlled the small core fragment in his right palm with his mind, slowly releasing the radioactive energy, interfering with the cow's nervous system, and the cow also slowed down, and finally stopped.

When he led the ox back to the same place, Zhang Chi held the iron plough tightly, standing still in place, he was also at a loss, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing Fang Lei bring the cow back, he muttered: "I almost broke into a catastrophe!" ”

Fang Lei said patiently: "The cow also has a temper, it's okay to shout twice, but don't beat it, start a temper, don't say it's one person, the three of them can't control the sword!" ”

Ai Liang interjected: "You kid is too impatient, he is a new hand, you have to be patient, train it slowly, and when it sees that you are familiar, it will obediently listen to your command!" ”

Fang Lei tried to put a wooden yoke on the ox, then held the handle of the plow, shouted, and the ox walked forward step by step, no longer cheating on it.

Ai Liang said: "It's still the young valley master who has a way, this angers the buffalo man, and I can't control it!" ”

Fang Lei knew that if it weren't for the radioactive energy input in its head and interfering with its nervous system, he wouldn't be able to help this big buffalo.
