"Xiao Xu, you just came back from the mountain? What's wrong, something has gone wrong with the fermentation of bean cakes? ”

As soon as Yu Shouguang looked at the soil made by Xu Shiyan, he knew that he had just come down from work and came over without even returning home, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Uncle, it's not about bean cakes.

It's the low temperature these days, why do I think there should be a night frost?

The No. 2 bridge is a frost road, if there is a late frost, what can we do with the mallet on the mountain? ”

Xu Shiyan was straightforward and said his worries.

When Yu Shouguang heard this, his expression was grim, and he could feel the low temperature in the past two days.

But he really didn't think about the evening frost, because it was always raining a while ago, and it was just sunny these days, and the temperature was a little lower, which was normal.

"Xiao Xu, this is not a joke, are you sure?"

More than 10,000 zhang of mallets in the second brigade are all on the other side of the No. 2 bridge, if there is a late frost, all the mallet seedlings will be frozen to death, and the loss will be too serious.

"Uncle, I said this myself, you definitely don't believe it.

If it doesn't work, Uncle will ask a few old people on our team. ”

Xu Shiyan knew that he was young, and it was normal for people not to pay attention to what he said.

But he must say that this matter is related to the income of a brigade, or even a commune, this autumn, and if it is not fully understood, it will be difficult to live with a conscience.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the team headquarters."

When Yu Shouguang heard this, he nodded heavily, followed Xu Shiyan and went straight to the team headquarters.

When he arrived at the team headquarters, Yu Shouguang directly turned on the loudspeaker and began to shout.

The other cadres of the second brigade, several old ginseng households, and technicians were all called together to discuss things.

When everyone arrived at the team site, when they heard Xu Shiyan's inference, before anyone else could speak, the technician jumped up first.

"Impossible, when is it still frosting?

This is the effect of the rain before, we are too close to Changbai Mountain, and the temperature is already low. ”

The technician is a worker, peasant and soldier college student, studying at the Agricultural University, and was assigned to an internship a while ago, and he is a bit of a cultural and proud one.

Yu Shouguang handed over the matter of soybean cake manure to Xu Shiyan, and also assigned him the matter of the test field, and the technician was a little unhappy.

felt that Xu Shiyan robbed him of his errand, and he was a little emotional about Xu Shiyan, so without waiting for others to speak, he jumped out to oppose it first.

However, those old ginseng farmers muttered quietly for a long time, and no one rashly expressed their opinions.

Yu Shouguang looked at the expressions of those old men, and knew that something was not right, "Uncle Zhang, you look at it, what should I do about this?" ”

The person who was called Uncle Zhang by Yu Shouguang is seventy years old this year, full of gray hair, but in good spirits.

The old man stroked his beard and muttered for a moment, "I remember when I was young, in my twenties."

One year, at about this time, the mallet seedlings grew quite tall when they were unearthed, and they all froze to death after a frost.

Alas, at that time, they were all their own families, and there were several big ginseng households, and because of this frost, they lost a lot of money. ”

The mallet seedlings will rot if they freeze to death, and the germs will infect downward, and even the mallets at the bottom will rot.

In order to alleviate the loss, once the mallet seedlings are frozen, you have to hurry up to make goods.

But at this time, the mallet was not starched, the scales were not pressed at all, and there was no output when making goods, so it was blind.

When Yu Shouguang heard this, his face was ugly, "Uncle, then what do you say about this?" Can it be prevented? ”

Yu Shouguang is in his forties this year, he has never experienced such a thing, and he has no bottom in his heart, so he hurriedly asked.

Old Man Zhang sighed and shook his head.

"It's not neat, if it's a big field, you can still try it with smoke.

Let's go to the ground, the pool strings are suffering from mallet boards and thatch, if this is a little fire, it won't even burn the mallet strings. ”

Experienced old farmers will look at the frost head.

Before the frost comes, pile up some branches and hay around the whole field, and when the frost comes, light fires everywhere.

By raising the temperature with the help of fireworks, you can avoid the crops from being killed by frost.

But it was a large field, relatively empty, and easy to handle. What's going on here?

The pool strings are covered with planks and thatch, and if one is not good, the fire will jump to the pool strings, don't resist the frost, burn the camp.

When Yu Shouguang heard this, his heart was half cold, what is this? "Xiao Xu, do you have a trick?"

Yu Shouguang turned his head and looked at Xu Shiyan with hopeful eyes.

Xu Shiyan also shook his head, "Secretary, this matter is not very easy to organize, the key is that we can't find something suitable." ”

"What's that?" Yu Shouguang and those old men asked together.

"Caoxiang, use this thing to stick it on the pool gang, and arrange for people to wait.

When he saw that the frost had arrived, he immediately lit it, and when he smoked it, the frost could not fall. ”

Xu Shiyan sighed as he spoke, they did this in their previous lives, but now what's the matter?

A few years ago, to break the feudal superstition, it was not allowed to burn incense and paper, where to find grass incense?

Sure enough, when Yu Shouguang and the others heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed.

It's really hard to find this thing now, and the factories that produce burning paper and grass incense are all yellow, where can I buy them?

"What's going on? Are we really just watching it? ”

Yu Shouguang was in a hurry, more than 10,000 zhang of mallets, not to mention that the frost was beaten, even if it was affected by one or two hundred zhang, it would be a loss of tens of thousands, who could stand it?

"Hmph, if you are blowing your beard there, I don't believe that there can be frost. What else do you use to incense? I've never heard of such a method. ”

On the other end, the technician rolled his eyes and snorted.

Xu Shiyan pondered for a moment, "Secretary Yu, if it doesn't work, you can only take a risk."

At this time, the grass and trees on the mountain are vigorous, and the pulp is sufficient, and the fire is ignited, and the light is smoking.

Let's arrange a little more people to watch, as long as you don't run out of the fire. ”

So what to do? You can't really sit here, can you?

Waiting for the frost to come and freeze the mallet to death, the whole brigade of people left at home to cry?

"Secretary, I think what Xiao Xu said is reasonable, we can't wait, if it's really frosty, there's no place to cry.

Hurry up and arrange for someone to go up the mountain, and try to prepare as much as possible while it is not too dark at this time. ”

The captains of several squads also agreed with Xu Shiyan's words.

This thing is related to the livelihood of more than 300 families for three years, it is not a joke, even if it is a wrong inference, it is better than not preparing anything.

"Less, hurry up and call someone, a few of our old guys will also go up and help watch when the frost will come."

Those old men can't hold it back, the matter is too big, who can stay at home with peace of mind?

Yu Shouguang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and immediately turned on a loudspeaker to call people.

"Attention to each household, each household should send a strong laborer, bring a sickle, axe and matches, and report to the team headquarters immediately."

I shouted four or five times in a row before I stopped.

The time is tight and the task is heavy, there must be a lot of manpower, more than 300 households, and one person from each household, which should be enough.

As soon as the loudspeaker shouted, those who heard it hurriedly informed each other, and it didn't take long for more than 300 strong laborers to gather in the open space in the backyard of the team headquarters.

Yu Shouguang personally explained to everyone that on one main purpose, he would rather do wrong than let go.

Even if it is a wasted effort, you must immediately go up the mountain, cut fresh branches and artemisia grass, pile them up in the open spaces all over the field, and light the fire as soon as the frost falls.
