"Feng Bo, you say, we don't have any rituals when we harvest and plow?" Suddenly, Yang Heng discovered one thing, that is, every time before plowing and harvesting, it was deserted, he seemed to remember that in ancient times, no matter what kind of thing was done, there would be a sacrificial activity, but why was there no here.

"This, I thought that this is the tradition of yours here, so I didn't say that this activity naturally exists, and there are many of them, whether it is plowing the field or harvesting, there are related sacrificial activities." Feng Bo suddenly realized, it turned out that it was not the tradition here, but it seems that the people here do not understand these things, perhaps, in the previous relocation, some of the old people who understand these customs have passed away, and there are few people who understand, and now this small household is good to say, if this family is big, there is no corresponding activity, it will make people laugh.

"Well, I made a note of it, you know all these Feng Bo, if there are still some incomplete things, wait until next year to inquire clearly, we will also carry out these activities next year, otherwise outsiders will look down on us." Yang Heng said, this is a cultural tradition that has been passed down since ancient times, and this is also a collective activity unique to people.

The customs are not studied for the time being, what is needed most now is to plant, but these kinds of grain, Yang Heng felt a little dissatisfied, what's the matter, what kind of seeds are there, there are bad, some are immature, and there is even sand, can this sand also be seeded, it is really strange, it seems that this time it is a profiteer, and they are looking at the father, and the uncles who buy the seeds don't understand the seeds, right, but fortunately, Yang Heng found some good seeds, put them in his mouth and tasted them, at least these seeds were not boiled, Otherwise, it can only be used as a snack.

It seems that everyone's wishes will not be fulfilled this year, and at least 30% of the fields planned for this year will not be planted, but at this time, I will not buy new seeds again.

"Feng Bo, go to the house and fill a few wooden basins with water, and then put the salt in the house and let the salt melt away, understand?" "Xiao Langjun, what are you doing here, why do you have to waste a lot of salt?" "It's okay, you just listen to me, or this field won't be planted this year, or a lot of fields will be wasted." Indeed, if this kind of seed is planted directly, it will be successful, but it will grow into spots in this field in the coming year, but no one thinks, there are more bad seeds in it, and it can be planted denser, so the field planted in this way will not only affect the yield, but also reduce the utilization rate of the land, so Yang Heng plans to use the salt water selection method to select the good seeds, and then plant.

The salt water selection method naturally uses the phenomenon that the buoyancy of the salt water is larger than the buoyancy of ordinary clear water, and some bad seeds are floated, and even some seeds that are not very solid can also be floated, and then some of the seeds and debris that are not good on the float are cleaned up, so that the seeds that sink under the water, and the sand are selected, and then the seeds of these selected seeds are dried, and then after a step, the sand inside is cleaned out. So the wheat seeds needed this year were chosen.

In Guanzhong, the cultivation of wheat is not too popular, so Yang Heng can't eat some pasta if he wants to, so he says that there is barley flour to eat, but barley flour and wheat flour have different tastes, and Yang Heng feels that the yield of this barley is low, so it is better not to plant barley.

The seeds are selected, and the next thing is to plant, this seed is much simpler, with the three-legged cocoon that Uncle stepped up to make, plus some iron components that Yang Heng and his father made early, and installed them on the cocoon's legs, so the work of pulling the cocoon is much easier, and even the wear and tear on the cocoon legs has been reduced a lot, so that the crops in a season are not planted, and the cocoon legs have to be repaired many times.

Looking at the rushing cocoon in front of him, as well as the happy smiling faces of the people, Yang Heng fell into deep thought, what mistakes have occurred in the entire history of China, some good tools and good things that have been researched by the ancestors have long been lost, why will they be lost in a certain era, who is to blame for this, whether it is to blame some barbaric foreigners, or the corrupt emperor, or the selfish clan, or the honest people themselves, who can say clearly, or there are all these reasons.

In Yang Heng's previous life, he often said that history was created by the people, but the people had no status in history, so this sentence was false, or just a slogan, a slogan used to fool the people.

"Xiao Langjun, what are you thinking, I called you a few times and you didn't hear it." "Ah, Uncle Feng, what's the matter?" Yang Heng woke up from his contemplation, "This wheat has been planted, do we have any arrangements next?" ”

"Next, this year's harvest is in the yard, I think, we don't want to put these grains in each family, just build a granary near this yard, my idea is like this, first build a big yard, build five granaries in the yard, one for each family, if necessary, you can add granaries, and this granary is built into a circle, let the uncle design it well, design the ventilation conditions inside, don't let the grain mold in it, so that these grains don't need to be sold, It doesn't need to be kept at home. Yang Heng's idea is very simple, that is, the unified storage of grain, unified management of the problem, so that you can put the work of rat prevention and fire prevention together, besides, in the future, maybe this grain will be more and more, if it is placed at home, it is easy to affect the layout of the courtyard at home, but it can be placed underground and not at ease, it is better to build a granary earlier, when the time can be out of the special person to take care of it, and be responsible for some miscellaneous matters, some management work is a matter of the future, now there is no need to consider, and this granary is close to the yard, You can enter the warehouse nearby, and even Yang Heng plans to install a water-powered machine to process grain, which is also placed on the edge of this granary.

"Well, nephew, you have a good idea, I'm also thinking about what to do if there is more food in the future, should I dig a basement at home, but the basement can't store food, this is not to say that the basement is not good, but it is difficult for us to dig a good basement, the water source in our place is too rich, you said that there was no waterwheel before, and I was worried about how to pick up the water here, but now I am worried that the water source is too rich, brothers, you say, am I too cheap." In order to come over, the uncle interjected and laughed, in fact, he agreed with Yang Heng's statement that the grain of several families should be built separately, but no one had any idea, if there was a military disaster in the future, wouldn't this granary be the best target, I am afraid that this peaceful mountain village will be broken by then, but now this mountain village has begun to be broken.
