In later generations, the rice in the Northeast was rich in nutrition, fragrant rice, and famous all over the world, but during the Republic of China, the people in the Northeast mainly planted rice. The staple food in the Northeast is sorghum rice, which is less delicate than rice and is easier to grow, but sorghum has a low yield and poor taste, which is far inferior to rice.

Zhang Tinglan noticed this problem very early on, and has been thinking about promoting rice, but it is not so easy to plant rice, first of all, it is necessary to have developed farmland water conservancy facilities to provide sufficient water sources, and planting rice is not just to scatter seeds into the ground, but to go through a very cumbersome process.

The temperature in the northeast is relatively low, if you want to shorten the growth cycle of rice, you must first use the greenhouse to raise seedlings, raise seedlings in early April every year, about 20 days, the rice seedlings grow to a height of more than 10 centimeters, and the temperature outside is about the same at this time, so as to be able to move outside to plant seedlings.

And before raising seedlings, it is necessary to soak the seeds, promote germination, each process has temperature and time requirements, if you want to figure out these things, you can't do it without many years of experience. Before Zhang Tinglan traveled to this time and space, he was also from a peasant family, and he worked with adults a few times when he was a child, and then he basically didn't touch these things when he went to school.

Just some time ago, Zhang Tinglan barely relied on his memory to sort out the planting process and set up a special greenhouse in the manor outside the city, but unfortunately there is no cheap and easy-to-use plastic film now, so he can only use relatively expensive glass.

At this time, it was almost time to prepare the land, and Zhang Tinglan finally took a little time to come over and take care of these rice seedlings. After Zhang Xueliang heard about it, he was also very interested. I pulled my second brother Zhang Xueming and Feng Yong over to take a look.

Lao Zhang and Lao Feng decided the winner, and there was no obstacle to the interaction between the younger generations of the family, Feng Yong and Zhang Xueliang had a good relationship, and the correspondence was more natural at this time. In addition, the lecture martial arts hall will start classes soon, Zhang Tingshu and Wu Kaijie also ran to Fengtian, they all know that Zhang Tinglan can toss, and now when they hear that he is actually studying rice planting, these guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic all came over and wanted to see the excitement.

As soon as these Fengtian gentlemen entered the manor. was targeted by the lord here, and the streamer rushed over from afar, after several months of careful feeding, the streamer was more robust and majestic, and his running speed was more amazing. Almost like a bolt of lightning, it rushed to the front of Zhang Xueliang and the others in a blink of an eye.

Chang. Zhang Tingshu: They all know that this horse is not easy to mess with. Therefore, they all hid far away, only Zhang Xueming saw that the streamer was beautiful, and he stupidly wanted to touch it, how could the streamer let him take advantage, and immediately opened his big mouth and bit it.

Zhang Xueming hurriedly withdrew his hand, who knew that the streamer speed was faster. stretched out his head suddenly, and hit Zhang Xueming's chest, and immediately Zhang Xueming was hit with a butt squat, and at this time Zhang Tinglan happened to come out to greet them. The streamer ran away triumphantly.

Zhang Xueliang pulled Zhang Xueming up, and said with a smile: "Second child, get up quickly, that horse, like his master, has already become a sperm, so it won't hurt you." ”

Zhang Xueming also got up at this time, patted the dirt on his body and said: "It's really god, this guy collected a lot of strength when he hit me, otherwise it would be miserable!" ”

After these guys came in, they looked around, Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "Humble words, you still know how to enjoy, this manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, just looking at it makes people comfortable, there are dozens of acres of land, do you want to plant flowers or trees, or build a tennis court, we can all come over to play." ”

"What do you think, my land is all on haode fertile fields, and it is a shame to waste a little. I'm going to turn one-third of it into a vegetable patch, plant some eggplant, beans, peppers, potatoes and the like, and raise some chickens and ducks in the back, zuihou is digging a big pond to raise fish, planting fruit trees around it, and dozens of people in our family don't have to buy anything in the future! ”

"Humble words, do you still have that money?" Zhang Xueliang asked in surprise.

"Chele, cheesy!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "What you eat is not a dish, but a process, and fun, which is called returning to the basics." ”

Zhang Xueliang and these people looked at Zhang Tinglan with an intoxicated face, and shook their heads one after another, they really couldn't understand Zhang Tinglan's taste, maybe they would not understand the value of pastoral life when they looked at those reinforced concrete in the future.

At present, the manor is still basically bare, only a few old farmers are preparing the land, and there is nothing to see, they all came to the front of the greenhouse, the shady side of the greenhouse is a one-person high earthen wall, the sunny side, and the ceiling are glass windows.

In addition, there is a thick layer of straw curtains, which are spread on top of the glass at night to keep warm, and now they have been rolled aside to allow the sunlight to shine in more haode. Looking through the glass window, it was densely packed with green seedlings, which immediately aroused the curiosity of these guys.

"Humble words, this is a rice seedling." Feng Yong said with a smile: "I heard that rice is all stuffed by southerners, and it is more realistic for us northeasterners to grow sorghum." ”

"That's, the black soil under our feet is the most fertile cultivated land, what is planted grows, and there are already people who grow rice in the three eastern provinces."

"Who?"

"North Koreans, when I exterminated the rebels in southern Liaoning, I found a large number of North Korean immigrants, who crossed the Yalu River and ran to our territory, cultivated land, and planted rice, and they laughed at us!"

"Bastard! These Goryeo sticks robbed us of our place, and they dared to laugh at us, which is just dead. Zhang Xueming suddenly jumped like thunder: "Brother Humble Yan, aren't you in charge of reclamation, take back all their land, and see how they get stuck." ”

In his previous life, Zhang Tinglan still clearly remembered that the old man at home said that they still learned from the North Koreans that they still had to give those sticks some benefits, which was simply a big bully!

"Don't worry, when we all stabilize and the immigrants in the customs are all here, we will let the stick go back and forth from where."

A few people just looked outside, but they still didn't enjoy it, so they all followed Zhang Tinglan into the greenhouse. I saw that the floor of the greenhouse was full of wooden rectangular lattices, which were called seedbeds, which were full of tender green seedlings, and these people were very novel.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan called an old farmer and asked him to introduce the situation to everyone.

This old farmer's face was weathered, the ravines were vertical and horizontal, and he was a little scared when he first saw these richly dressed boys, but when it came to raising seedlings, he came to the spirit and said with a smile: "In general, we will make it according to the method given by Zhang Shao, and we will build a greenhouse first." Then a batch of the fullest rice seeds was selected, first put into the water to soak the seeds, about a week, and then the germination, more than a day, the seeds drilled out. ”

The old farmer said, and the group listened with interest: "The temperature of the water for soaking seeds should be cooler, and the germination should be much higher, according to the thermometer measured by Zhang Shao for me, it should reach about 30 degrees, and after the seeds germinate, the temperature will be continuously lowered to make the buds stronger." Then it is necessary to make the seedbed, we must do the three words flat, straight and solid, and the soil selected is also very particular, and the most fertile soil must be used, and a lot of farm fertilizer must be mixed. Zhang Shao helped buy a batch of fertilizer flour again, and it had to be evenly stirred into it. ”

The so-called fertilizer powder is actually a chemical fertilizer, and there is no way to produce it in China at present, so Zhang Tinglan bought some from Japan and used it as shiyan. The so-called crops and flowers all rely on fertilizer. In later generations, many people despised pesticides and fertilizers, thinking that this thing was harmful to health and that they should eat green and organic food.

If these people are thrown to the Republic of China, they will know the importance of chemical fertilizers, if there is no mass use of chemical fertilizers, people will not pursue healthy food, eat green, but to fill their stomachs.

Take the current Fengtian as an example, the yield of sorghum per mu of Shanghaode land is only about 100 catties, if you plant rice, maybe the yield can be higher, but it is only two or three hundred catties, which is one-sixth of the later generations, in this case, the vast majority of people have struggled on the line of life and death all their lives.

Once there is a bit of a disaster, starvation is also common, at this time people will definitely be crazy to support fertilizer, but whether it is healthy or not, the most important thing is to fill the stomach first.

"After the soil is done, spread evenly in the seedbed, then flatten and compacted, and be sure to water thoroughly. We also made a tray of seedlings out of reeds, filled it with a thin layer of soil, and then placed the tray on the seedbed and spread the germinated seeds evenly on the tray. Then it's time to control the temperature and watering, and at the beginning of watering, attach a layer of straw bags to prevent the water from washing away the soil! ”

Listening to the introduction of the old farmer a little bit, Zhang Xueliang's gang of people have a bit of a big head, farming is really not as easy as imagined, this is just the process of raising seedlings, and when the seedlings grow, they have to plant seedlings, and then take care of them all the way, until the autumn harvest, in order to get the grain home, how much sweat it takes here, I'm afraid even the farmers themselves don't know.

The old farmer introduced it almost, and said with a smile to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhang Shao, these rice seedlings are growing very well, and our paddy fields are also ready, if we can really harvest this year, a few of our old guys are also thinking about trying it at home next year, what do you think!" ”

The old farmer is still a little hesitant, after all, planting rice is also a labor full of jishu nature, and he can be regarded as a stealer. Zhang Tinglan smiled nonchalantly: "Not only in your home, but also on a larger scale, the yield per mu of rice is at least half more than that of sorghum, or even double, that is to say, the same land can feed twice the population, this kind of good thing naturally has to be learned by more people!" (To be continued......)

PS: It's a bit difficult to write about farming, although the small is from a farmer's family, but it is inevitable that there will be omissions, let's take a look, in addition to the beginning of the month, or double the monthly pass, please ask for a few.
