Ai Liang drove a big carriage to Zhiqing Point, there were three large water tanks on the carriage, each containing half a tank of rice seeds, he said to Liu Gang: "You are in charge of production, now let's start by learning to soak grain seeds, right?" ”

"Let's come and move the water tank to the floor, to do a good job in spring production, you have to soak the seeds, there is an agricultural technician to guide, everyone to understand the process!" Liu Gang said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A few educated youths moved the big tank under the guidance of Liu Gang, and a few educated youths called a few buckets of well water under the guidance of Ai Liang, and he took down two buckets of clear but salty water from the car, and said: "Let's first put the rice seeds into the clear lime water to wash and wipe them, kill the eggs and bacteria that adhere to the rice husk, and then put them into the vat filled with clean water to soak, but pay attention to the fact that if the temperature is high, you can directly soak it in clean water, but if the temperature is too low, you must soak it in warm water, and you must also seal the cylinder mouth with a film, and the spring is warm and cold, Soaking grain seeds is also troublesome, if it is summer soaking, pay attention to heat dissipation and everything will be fine! ”

"It turns out that there is so much knowledge in soaking grain seeds, I really don't know if I haven't experienced it!" Cao Jian said.

Ai Liang said: "I just want everyone to see the whole process of farming, or soak the seeds in the grain as soon as possible, and directly transport the grain buds in a horse-drawn cart and scatter them on the seedling field!" ”

"This is called the arranged system, after going to the countryside for a few years, I can't even soak the grain seeds, don't you laugh off other people's big teeth?" Liu Gang said.

Ai Liang said: "You go to remove the weeds on the ridges, the valley is now like you, is engaged in preparation work, I am also leading a few villagers in the soaking seeds, time is tight, busy with work, I will go back first, tomorrow afternoon to fish up the grain seeds, I have to do it myself, in order to understand the specific situation!" ”

"Technician don't worry, right? I will arrange the preparation work, and in two days, I will be able to remove all the weeds from the 30 acres of land! Liu Gang said.

Ai Liang said: "Very good! Then I can take you to the seeds! ”

When he said that, he drove the carriage and galloped straight to the mouth of the valley, and it was really difficult for him, the rice seeds in the valley had not yet been soaked! Cai Qiang instructed him to keep the affairs of the educated youths in his heart at all times, and he must give priority to them, because the educated youths have just arrived and are not familiar with the place, so they must be particularly concerned, which can reflect the noble sentiments of our Immortal Medicine Valley people.

Three days later, Ai Liang came with more than a dozen grain people, driving the ploughing oxen and rakes, and he wanted to help the educated youths sort out the seedling fields and sow seeds, so that they could learn how to be farmers, how to plow the fields, and how to grow other crops.

After an hour, the peasants, who were accustomed to doing farm work, had finished the work of plowing and raking, and they carried their tools and drove the ploughing oxen back to the valley, because the rice fields there also had to be tidied up!

Now what remains is the question of how to level the seedling field and how to sow the seeds, Ai Liang and the remaining grain people use the grain to divide the seedling field into a depression.

Liu Gang asked: "Why do you have to open a shallow ditch at a distance?" ”

"Because there is a lot of rain in spring, if you can't drain the stagnant water in time, it will drown the grain buds and affect the development of seedlings!" Ai Liang explained.

When the depression was opened, it was time to throw the grain buds, Ai Liang handed Liu Gang a plastic pot full of grain sprouts, but he didn't dare to take it over, and asked, "Can I also throw the grain sprouts?" ”

Ai Liang encouraged: "Actually, this is a kung fu that you can see and learn, as long as you are bold and careful, and you can do it twice!" ”

When the intellectuals saw the valley people grabbing the grain buds with their hands and throwing them on the seedling field casually, and it was very even, they were envious in their hearts, and several male intellectuals were eager to try.

"Let's all practice, if you don't learn, you will never!" Liu Gang took the opportunity to say.

When Jiang Shaoqiang and Wu Wenhao heard this, they immediately walked down the seedling field, holding a plastic pot with their left hand, grabbing a grain bud with their right hand, and boldly scattering it.

The last process is to use a bamboo sieve to hang on a bamboo pole, up and down the grain buds are pressed into the mud, so that it takes root and sprouts, this operation also has a certain degree of difficulty, too heavy, will sink the grain buds too deep, can not grow, too shallow, the grain buds can not stick to the soil, even if they grow, it is crooked, the seedlings do not grow properly, which has to let them understand in practice.

After sowing the seedlings, in addition to plowing and raking in the morning and evening, the educated youth who are not plows and rakes have leisure, but rural people have such a saying, their hands are idle, and if they want to have food and clothing, they are really idle!

On this day, Cai Qiang took several village cadres and drove four large carriages over, and the carriages of three carriages were full of sweet potatoes, which were five or six thousand catties.

Zhang Dabiao asked: "Educated youth! Any idea what this thing is? ”

Liu Gang replied: "This should be a sweet potato, right?" Agricultural and sideline products are bought in the market, and I have eaten them a few times, which is used to cook sugar water, which is very delicious! ”

Cai Qiang said: "Last year's winter ploughing, there were hundreds of acres of sweet potatoes planted in the valley, and the valley people had no place to stack them, so I pulled three carts over first, and when the spring was about to be planted, there were still dozens of acres to dig, if you can't eat, you can also use it to raise pigs, which is very useful!" ”

"Everyone takes the sweet potatoes down and puts them on the floor to dry for half a day, and after a period of time, the sweet potatoes will become sweet, and they will taste sweet and stained, which is very delicious!" Ai Liang said.

When the educated youths moved a basket of sweet potatoes down, Cai Juan said: "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, I brought vegetable seeds and sweet potato seedlings, everyone planted vegetables on the slope behind the educated youth point, planted melons, fruits and beans, planted sweet potato seedlings, and then bought two small pigs to raise, and when the Spring Festival kills one, there will be pork food!" ”

"I took a few male intellectuals up the mountain to cut branches and build fences, plant melons and beans, and use them!" Zhang Dabiao said.

Zhang Shaoqiang said: "I will also participate, see if everyone will have the same good luck as last time, pick a dead yellow and come back, cook it and eat a full meal!" ”

Liu Gang said seriously: "This time Platoon Commander Li wants to give it to us, and we can't ask for it anymore, we can't always owe it to others!" ”

"You're right, you have to eat game, and you have to do it yourself, so that you can eat deliciously, but Zhang Shaoqiang is also telling jokes, is there such a coincidence in the world?" Zhang Dabiao said.

The educated youths took out the woodcutter from the utility room, and under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, they walked to the mountain with great interest.
