Chapter 163: Spending money on rice is not happy
Because of the particularity of the seeds produced in Tianyu, and how many rice seedlings Su Baiya uses for an acre of land has been tested, seedling cultivation can be said to be a fool's operation.
And Su Baiya has raised a total of fifty trays of rice seedlings, which can plant about one acre of land, even if the growth rate of the seeds produced in Tianyu has increased, it will take at least twenty days or so to finish the seedlings.
Through Su Baiya's explanation, the villagers gradually understood that the company would only cultivate fifty trays of rice at a time.
Although the name is to provide rice seedlings for the priority registration families, in terms of the speed of the company's seedlings, if you wait, unless it is those who are in the front, you will not want to plant rice in this life.
Since there is no difficulty and special requirements for raising seedlings, why not do it yourself, raise seedlings early, plant early, and harvest early.
So after watching the whole process, the villagers probably felt that there would be no problem in doing it themselves.
He moved his gaze to Ou Jian, who was standing on the ridge and holding his hands, and the villagers gathered towards Ou Jian in unison.
Because Zhu Jingfu was revoked as the head of the supervision department, there is no suitable candidate at present, so Ou Jian temporarily served as the head of the supervision department, responsible for distributing rice to the villagers.
"Director Ou, I think it's better for us to bring the seeds back to raise the seedlings ourselves, so we won't bother Mr. Su!"
Ou Jian nodded: "That's fine, after all, it's not a matter for the company to wait for such a big land, and you can plant rice quickly." ”
"Then please ask Manager Su to take us to get rice."
Ou Jian glanced at Su Baiya, who was still sowing rice in the field with his trouser legs up, and said with a smile: "Come with me, I'll take you over." ”
Su Baiya had already moved the rice seeds out of the Heavenly Domain in advance with Wu Xian and stored them in the warehouse.
When he arrived outside the warehouse and opened the warehouse door, Ou Jian sat on the registered position at the door, and said again: "The ugly words are in front, if there are still remaining seeds at the end of the planting, they can be returned, or boiled and eaten, in short, the seeds distributed by our company are strictly forbidden to be resold to others, and the offender will permanently cancel the cooperation." ”
The villagers have already seen how powerful the regulatory authorities are, and there is no need to risk selling seeds.
patted their chests and promised that they would not violate the company's rules and regulations.
Ou Jian didn't say much, picked up the pen and asked the person in front of him: "Name." ”
"Zhang Ergou."
"I'll look for it, Zhang Ergou, right?" Ou Jian looked at the list for a while and said, "Your family has three acres of land to grow rice, how about receiving a total of thirty catties of rice?" ”
Zhang Ergou nodded again and again: "Thirty catties is thirty catties." ”
Ou Jian put a tick behind Zhang Ergou's name: "The price of a pound of rice is twenty-four wen, a total of seven hundred and twenty wen, pay the money first and then receive the rice." ”
Zhang Ergou was shocked: "Do you still need money to receive rice?" ”
Ou Jian put the pen on the inkstone and said with a smile: "What you say is so funny, don't you want money for nothing?" Rice is expensive. ”
Not only Zhang Ergou, but the villagers in the rear were surprised by the news.
Because fruit and mushroom seeds are distributed for free, it is natural for everyone to feel that rice seeds are also distributed for free.
Ou Jian looked at everyone's hesitation, and added: "You can peel off the rice when the time comes, I don't know where Mr. Ou bought these rice, all of them are new rice, even if we have money here, it is difficult to buy it, the price of twenty-four wen is fair to you whether it is expensive or not, whether it makes your money." ”
When the family business failed, he ate new rice for a meal, so he was very sensitive to this.
This also teaches methods and provides good seeds, and it is understandable to collect money.
But the villagers still fell into hesitation, most of the land is more than five acres, one acre of land needs about ten catties of rice, the price of buying seeds alone is more than one or two silver, if you save a little enough to cover a year's food and clothing expenses.
For the villagers who are used to being poor, they still have a long-term vision, and they are really reluctant to take out one or two pieces of silver to buy seeds at a time.
Ou Jian didn't have much patience, and patted the table lightly again: "Buy it or not, don't block the people behind if you don't buy it, and think about standing aside first." ”
Zhang Ergou smiled flatteringly: "I didn't know to give money before, and I didn't bring it, so I'll go back and get the money immediately." ”
Ou Jian curled the corners of his mouth: "It's really strange, come to buy rice without money, will others give it to you for nothing?" Next time, if you encounter such a good thing, tell me too, and I will get some too. ”
Hearing this sarcastic remark, the villagers understood a little bit in their hearts, and regarded it as buying rice and rice.
What's more, it is difficult to buy new rice even if it is rich and it is not a loss to eat it at home, but it is a little too expensive.
......
The villagers bought the rice one after another and began to raise rice.
Because of the lack of measuring tools, Su Baiya ordered the men to circle the size of the rice tray with a rope in order to ensure that the villagers would not deviate too much when raising rice.
The villagers only need to spread the rope and then spread it on the ground to raise rice according to the size of the rope, which can ensure that there will not be too much deviation and indirectly reduce the subsequent error in transplanting.
Now every family does not have much anything, that is, there are many people, and the whole family goes to the field together, and soon completes the link of rice raising.
The vitality of the seeds produced in the heavenly region is particularly strong, and the fields are green in a few days.
If you go to Zhuwo Village or Diowo Village at this time, you will see a green patch.
And there are no crops to grow at this time, and most of the fields in other villages are still deserted.
The two villages are also a different scene.
The villagers took special care of the rice they had spent a lot of money on, and they longed for a family of three to stay in the fields, for fear that a little accident would affect the harvest in a few months.
However, although the steps of seedling raising are simple, the process is somewhat difficult.
The difficulty is that it is still the dry season and there is no rain, and the water level of the river has not improved at all.
As a result, there will inevitably be a shortage of water in the field, and the most feared thing for raising or planting rice is the lack of water.
In addition, Su Baiya repeatedly emphasized that in the process of raising rice, it is necessary to keep the land moist, otherwise don't blame others when the harvest is not good, and the villagers do not dare to slack off at all.
The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to carry a bucket to the river half a mile or a mile or more away to fetch water.
The specific distance is calculated according to the distance between the field and the river, and those who are far away will be miserable.
Buckets of water were carried to their fields all day long, and the skin on their shoulders was worn off, and even if they were tired, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, the rice seedlings are growing vigorously under the careful care of the villagers, which indicates a good omen for a good harvest.
