"Let's sit down and get some rest." Mu Xiu said to the villagers, fortunately, there are many benches left over from the previous table at home, and it is not a problem to take out more than 30 of them.

"Dad, you go and call Uncle Chen up." Mu Xiu turned his head and said to Mu Shui.

Mu Shui entered the hall and woke up Chen Xiangyang, at this time he was also full of sleep and woke up with wine.

"Folks, I'll call the name first, and the person who calls the name will say it." Mu Xiu is afraid that there will be a leak that has not come, for the sake of insurance, it is better to name it.

"Wang Zhenhua."

"Here."

"Chen Tianzhu."

"To"

In this way, Mu Xiu quickly named his name, everyone arrived, and Chen Xiangyang also sat next to Mu Xiu.

"The villagers are here, then I will show you how to raise seedlings first, you must have read carefully, if there is anything you don't understand, raise your hand and ask questions."

Mu Xiu stood up, took out the seeds, and said to everyone: "This is the seed of the seedless watermelon, the seeds have been dried in advance, and they need to be soaked in warm water at this time, and then cooled naturally for eight hours." ”

Mu Xiu took out a bag of seeds, put them in a pot, picked up a boiling water bottle and poured it into another pot, put in cold water, tested the temperature with his hands, the temperature was just right, and then poured the pot of water into the pot with seeds.

"That's how it was soaked, soaked for eight hours."

"After eight hours, take the seeds out of the water, spread them out in a large pot, put a small amount of water in them, and set up a shelf on the stove or on the kang in the house, the warmer the better."

"Choose to sprout more than the little thumb parents pick out and sow seeds, if you don't exceed, don't do it, even if it is planted, the yield is not high."

"Look at the seed coat of this kind of seed is so thick, it looks flat, is it easy to sprout? How many days will it take for this bud to emerge? As soon as Mu Xiu finished speaking, someone below asked questions.

"I'm talking about the problem of sprouts, seedless watermelons are indeed not easy to sprout, so they need to be artificially broken, so that they can germinate smoothly, you see, after soaking the seeds, try to wash them clean, here, is the position of the umbilicus, use your teeth to sip melon seeds like a small mouth, you must pay attention, it's so big, otherwise it will hurt the seed kernel."

Mu Xiu picked up a seed and gave a demonstration to everyone, and after everyone came up and watched it, they sat down and continued to listen carefully.

"It takes about two days for the seedlings to emerge, and about 400 seeds are planted on one acre of land, if the villagers don't have enough seedlings, they will come to my house and bring the seeds that have not germinated in exchange for the seeds that my family has raised, and I will also go to the field together to help replenish the seedlings." Although Mu Xiu is troublesome, it can protect the seedless watermelon from falling out to the greatest extent.

Mu Xiu then removed the pot from the table where the seeds had been soaked, and then took out a small bowl of egg shells.

"This is the eggshell that my family saved, I have saved a lot, if the villagers don't have it or don't have enough, come directly to my house to get it." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he smashed the already broken egg shell again.

"After the seeds are planted in the ground, make the eggshell the same size as the seed, cover the eggshell, it must be a moist eggshell, and usually spray more water."

"After the cotyledons are higher than the land, we will start fertilizing, because it will be more than a month later, I am afraid that the villagers will not remember, I will need to fertilize and prevent the need for the medicine to write, to the village party secretary, when the time comes, he will lead everyone to unify fertilization."

"When all these are completed, we will start manual pollination, and my father will also teach everyone in unison."

Mu Xiuyang finished this string of words freely, sat down, drank saliva, and waited for the villagers to raise their hands to ask questions.

The more than 30 villagers here, although they don't know any of the big characters, but all of them have been crops that have been planted for decades, if Mu Xiu told them anything else, maybe they would have already started to ask questions indiscriminately, about crops, they really understand it as soon as they hear it, and they can understand it when they hear it, and their understanding ability is very strong.

Mu Xiu waited for a while, no one raised her hand, she cleared her throat, and continued: "Since there are no questions to ask, then at this time, I will start to call the name, call the name, come to receive the seed, after going back today, just do what I said, tomorrow the seed will not germinate, come to my house in time to replace, let's sow together the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

"Okay."

The courtyard resounded with the sound of promise.

Then there is Mu Xiu's reputation.

"Wang Zhenhua."

Wang Zhenhua walked quickly to Mu Xiu.

"Uncle Wang's family grows an acre of land." Mu Xiu picked up the scale, carefully weighed 100 grams of seeds, put them in a small cardboard box, and handed them over.

Wang Zhenhua took the seed, like holding a baby, after thanking him, he pressed his fingerprint on the receipt from Chen Xiangyang, and hurried home.

"Tuesday Treasure." Mu Xiu continued to shout the next name.

In this way, it was not until about seven o'clock in the evening that all the seeds were distributed, and the courtyard became empty.

"Uncle Chen, this is the seed for your family." Mu Xiu handed the last packet of seeds to Chen Xiangyang.

"It's been a busy day today, so I'll go back first." Chen Xiangyang took the seeds and hurried home, after all, this kind of seed has to be soaked and germinated, it takes time, and it will be sown the day after tomorrow.

"Dad, master, we're going to breed now." Mu Xiu pointed to the seeds soaked in the bucket, which Mu Xiu soaked after eating in the afternoon, and in two hours, the water would have to be changed.

"I'll go find some big pots and put them in the greenhouse."

"I'm going to get some buckets of water in too."

Mu Xiu's family is fifteen acres of land, except for the 5 acres of purple potatoes and fruit carrots, and then bring Chen Xuhui and Aunt Qiu's land, barely make up eleven acres of land, and also need to raise a lot of watermelon seedlings, plus the villagers in case the seedlings fail, they have to take the good ones from them, so tonight, it is destined to be busy for most of the night.

The next day, because of the high temperature in the greenhouse, the watermelon seeds had already begun to germinate in the afternoon.

Mu Xiu, Uncle Chen, and Mu Xiu brought several large pots of seedlings and eggshells, and went to the field to plant watermelons first.

The watermelon seedlings are good and sown quickly, and in one afternoon, three acres of land were planted.

The sky gradually darkened, and the three of them drove the ox cart back home, and Zhou Shuilian had already cooked the meal.

Mu Xiu hadn't been working in the field for a long time, and now he only felt like he was falling apart, and after eating, he lay down and fell asleep after washing.

Early in the morning, Mu Xiu heard the sound of people boiling outside, she got dressed and walked out, no wonder the sound was so messy, at this time in her yard, there were more than a dozen villagers, each holding a small basin in their hands.
