Chapter 33 Grain and cotton sideline business with both hands
Zhang Guangming found poultry, using wild grasses, wild vegetables, grain bran, and Chinese herbs, and fed these in the ratio of five, four, three, and two, and they grew strong and not easy to get sick.
The fur on the animals is smooth and smooth, and the feathers on the poultry are full and bright.
He told the villagers about the new recipe.
So in their own homes, according to the new method researched by Zhang Zhishu, after feeding for one or two months, they found that they grew fast, and they were strong, and they had a strong ability to resist diseases.
Neither poultry nor livestock have ever been sick.
Eh, the cadres and the masses of Muyehua Village are all smiling happily.
After the vegetables and melons in the north were sold, Zhang Zhishu asked each team to plant vegetables suitable for summer planting.
He urged the members of the club, as the saying goes: "One volt grows radishes, and the other volts plant vegetables." "But you have to hurry up and plant it.
……
During this period, the people of Muyehua Village were busy working for the seedlings of the crops.
Zhang Zhishu also urged the members to divide corn and cotton into two seedlings.
He said: When the seedlings grow to about three inches, they begin to thin the seedlings for the first time, and they should be left strong and weak.
The second time, when the young seedling grows four leaves, a stout seedling that has not been infested by pests and diseases is left behind.
Sesame seeds only need to be planted once, while peanuts and beans do not need to be seeded.
Melons and sweet potatoes can not occupy the land area, we should plant these kinds of seedlings on the sandy soil of the river slope, and then put enough manure, and then often turn over the soil to fork, it will produce big, sandy and sweet fruits, but delicious. ”
Then, Zhang Guangming instructed everyone on the loudspeaker, "After the seedlings are set, we must pay close attention to the crops."
For example, special attention should be paid to the reproduction of moths.
Let's have a big operation to eliminate moth pests in the whole village!
Catch twenty moths and reward a penny.
Let's men, women and children go into battle together, and the whole family will be dispatched to eliminate pests! ”
After listening to Zhang Zhishu's words, the villagers were very active and active in eliminating pests.
So, one by one, people came to the field with a bottle and saw a moth, either catching or arresting it.
People catch moths, put them in bottles, and take them home to feed chickens, ducks and geese.
It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, so everybody is happy to do it.
We have to get rid of moths, red spiders, aphids, and field lice......
The attack of these field pests on the crops is effectively avoided.
Therefore, Zhang Guangming carefully observed the situation of crops and seedlings in each field every day, and when he saw pests and diseases, he immediately asked the members to eliminate them in the germination period.
In the past, the cotton pruning and forking of each production team was not in place, and the yield was very low.
This year, Zhang Zhishu is an agricultural technician who manages crops, and he taught the members of various production teams a series of management techniques such as breaking excess branches, breaking off excess leaves, and cutting inch tips.
Summer is a time when the heavens test the strength of the farmers' will.
The sun wants to see if the peasants can withstand the scorching heat of the strong sun, and see if the peasants can withstand the blows of the storm.
Under the correct leadership of the village party secretary, the cadres and masses of Muyehua Village are not afraid of any difficulties and move forward bravely.
Managing farmland in autumn is also not easy.
When people are dung or cultivated in the corn fields, the leaves will scrape the bodies of the village cadres and villagers, and everyone will feel itchy and painful.
The scorching sun baked the villagers working in the fields, making everyone so hot that they were all feverish, their faces were tanned black, their heads would feel like they were broken, their arms and legs were sunburned with a layer of white skin like ringworm, and even more so, they were sunburned with maroonish spots.
And everyone is working in the fields every day, and their whole body is sweating profusely.
The villagers didn't care, they still faced the hot sun, facing the black soil with their backs to the sky, and worked tirelessly.
Peanuts hoe the grass only once, because when the flowers bloom, they will grow thin tips like needles, and they will drill straight into the soil, and as long as they get into the soil, they will start to grow peanuts.
So people stood in the ridges, and they had to bend down, stretch out their hands, and pull out the weeds.
The villagers were so tired that their waists and eyes hurt, and no one was lazy to take a break.
This autumn was rainy, so we didn't have to water the ground, so the crops were growing well.
Time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the peanuts are about to ripen.
On this day, Zhang Guangming walked to a green peanut field, bent down, and plucked up.
"Hey, it's not bad," Zhang Guangming praised with a smile.
He broke open a long peanut horn and saw that the light red peanut skin, wrapped in white and fat peanut seeds, was large and plump, and it looked like it was about eight years old.
This narrowed Zhang Guangming's happy eyes into a slit.
He also covered the exposed parts with soil to prevent rats from stealing peanuts.
Then he hurried back to the village, shouted on the loudspeaker, and asked the cadres of the brigade and the cadres of the various squads to come to the brigade for a meeting in the evening.
At the meeting, Zhang Guangming said to the team leaders: "You should quickly dig out the peanuts and dry them, break the tender corn cobs and dry them, and process them into small foods like last time, and take them to the vegetable market in the county seat to sell them." ”
The team leaders did what Zhang Zhishu said, these small foods were delicious and cheap, and there was also a phenomenon of crazy robbery.
In this way, everyone can see the hope of poverty alleviation.
In early spring, the villagers were worried that their crops would fail, so they wanted to go out to escape the famine and ask for food.
Under the correct command of Zhang Zhishu, who came to think that autumn grains and vegetables, as well as Chinese medicinal materials, were all harvested.
This greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the masses.
Zhang Guangming shouted on the loudspeaker: "Let's take advantage of the rainy days these days?
Plant vegetable seeds suitable for autumn growth: spinach seeds, coriander seeds, rapeseeds, green and white rapeseeds......
Let's plant lettuce seeds, rapeseeds, lettuce seeds, garlic ......."
The team leaders hurriedly led the members to the vegetable field to plant the seeds that Zhang Zhishu said.
Gui Xiaobao smiled happily and said, "Zhang Zhishu, you arranged it like this, do you want to harvest these vegetables and bring them to the county seat in exchange for some money?"
You also have to let the members have melons to eat.
The fruit trees you let everyone plant in the spring bear fruit, so that our members have fruits to eat! ”
Zhang Guangming said with a smile: "That's how I implemented the plan, hehe......"
In this way, they talked and laughed, and worked until dark, when they finished planting all the vegetable seeds.
Zhang Guangming thought again on this day: I have to command everyone to grasp farmland management with one hand, and side business management with the other.
He must make the engraving and weaving factories strive for excellence.
He also has to innovate and add new varieties.
For example, the engraving factory can engrave paintings suitable for living rooms and bedrooms.
Another example: a variety of beautiful landscape carvings of different sizes, flowers, birds, insects and fish, flowers and trees......
And what about the preparation plant?
He believes that a wide variety of crafts can be compiled.
For example, you can use bamboo to weave bird cages, tea trays, bamboo umbrellas, bamboo fans, and bamboo curtains
……
When Zhang Guangming thought of this, he was full of tigers and tigers under his feet, and almost rushed to the engraving factory and the weaving factory.
Gui Xiaobao thought: Zhang Zhishu did this, can the new products of the engraving factory and the weaving factory find a market?
The crowd was also a little apprehensive.
……
On this day, the sun was still very strong, shining hot on Zhang Guangming's body.
He wanted to see if there were any holes in the roof of the experimental base.
He was afraid that the rain would leak and it would be bad.
He climbed up to the roof of the house along a large poplar tree, and sure enough, he found a tile that had been rubbed off by the branches, so he sawed off the branch that "put his hand on the roof and destroyed it."
Immediately afterwards, he took a handful of mud and took a dark blue tile left over from the construction of the house, climbed up to the roof and smeared it with mud and then tiled it.
When he was about to go out of the house after the tile was ready, he smelled the fragrance wafting, and Zhang Guangming couldn't help but look at the field, "Ah! What a splendid field!" He looked down from a high vantage point and had a view of the rich colors.
I saw a large corn field with red cherry blossoms and green leaves in the distance, one after another, like a big carpet with red flowers and willows; The fiery sorghum stood upright, as if it were a falling red glow.
The vegetable field not far away is full of colorful flowers.
Especially in the vicinity, several samples of sesame flowers are blooming: some are white like jade, elegant and purple, light red and fragrant, like clouds steaming and fragrant.
The side of the house is even more interesting, the breeze blows, the little yellow flowers under the green leaves of the peanuts, and the big pink and pale yellow, the cotton flowers are fanned by the wind, and the shadows are more than enough to hide the vivid posture; There are also small and delicate flowers of various beans in front of you, like groups of young butterflies dormant on the green leaves, and like flickering wings to fly, how cute!
Yes! What an unbeatable view of the countryside! Suddenly, the village party secretary became more obsessed with and loved the countryside.
Families grow late watermelons, melons, and cantaloupe in their own yards.
The villagers gave these melons enough dung, so they carried two buckets of water to the big pit or ditch, and brought water to pour on the melon roots, and the melons grew strong and fast.
Zhang Guangming went to the loudspeaker of the brigade office early in the morning and said a few words to the villagers: "Crops need to be dung for nutrition, and if there is dung, you have to water it frequently, and the plants will smile and grow hard, and do your best to ensure a good harvest!" ”
The villagers laughed and didn't feel tired of working.
At noon, the villagers will pick a big watermelon and put it in the well water, and after a while, they will use a kitchen knife to cut it into the shape of a crescent moon.
People pick up a tooth of sandy and sweet watermelon and open their mouths, and they eat it in a big gulp, the cool, sweet taste is really refreshing!
Come back in the evening and pick a melon, or pick a cantaloupe to eat, ah, this sweet honey, can be called the taste of happiness!
The various vegetables grown by the masses in their homes have been harvested one after another.
Because of the manure, all the vegetables taste very good.
Zhang Guangming said on the loudspeaker: Dry the vegetables that you can't eat and eat them in winter, that kind of strength is like chewing meat!
As a result, the villagers dried and stored all kinds of vegetables that could not be eaten.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
The whole village celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and the whole family enjoys the bright moonlit night.
In the evening, the villagers took their food stamps to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy mooncakes, and the houses were crowded with people.
A woman burst in......
