Song Qingwen and Song Qinglai should be the most conspicuous of all the farmers.

Other people's families have one cow, just their family, ten people, and the brothers are not married and separated, but they still lead a cow according to each of the two households.

When planting the land, it was lively, two ploughs, one person supporting one, shouting loudly, except for the three-year-old baby playing in the mud on the side of the dirt slope, the seventh in line but five or six years old girl, all know to help send soil fertilizer back and forth, the family seems to have never been so excited, farming is noisy, very lively.

I've only been here for a few days, my stomach is full, there is a lot of meat, there is land and cattle, this day, it's beautiful!

Zhang Shouzhong was also driving the oxen to plow the field, and when he saw Wang Mingyuan looking east and west along the way, he shouted loudly: "Little Wang, do you want to come up and try?" ”

Wang Mingyuan also felt novel, walked towards Zhang Shouzhong's plot, and followed Zhang Shouzhong's footsteps: "It just so happens that I also want to learn, third uncle, you have to teach me well!" ”

Zhang Shouzhong is old in this regard, and the docile buffalo is very obedient under his shouting, pulling the plow to break through the soil layer, like an arm and a finger.

Wang Mingyuan followed for a while, and under Zhang Shouzhong's preaching, he understood the meaning of the shouting when he called the ox, and went up to try it himself.

As a result, it was obvious that Zhang Shouzhong was just holding the plow and easily following the ox, but it would be so difficult to really reach his own hands.

Within two steps, the plowshare was too deep for the buffalo to pull.

Zhang Shouzhong finally taught him how to control the depth by lifting the plow handle, but after just a few steps, the plow was deviated again, and various problems emerged one after another.

Finally, with Zhang Shouzhong pulling the ox, after walking a circle, Wang Mingyuan looked back at the furrow that he had ploughed out with sweat and sweat, and he was extremely embarrassed.

The furrow was deep and shallow, crooked and twisted, and it was a mess.

There were a few places where the plough was off, there were fifty or sixty centimeters between the furrow and the furrow, and a large piece was empty, and the three aunts who followed behind to plant did not know whether to point or not, and there were still a few places, and they simply turned over the corn seeds that had been planted before.

After a circle, Wang Mingyuan stopped with interest, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't continue.

If it continues, it will not be farming, it will be completely destroyed.

He realized how difficult it is to farm.

There are many skills in plowing the land with oxen, managing the oxen well, supporting the plow, and paying attention to the ground conditions at all times.

Those who follow behind are responsible for planting, experienced, can help fertilize while ordering seeds, slow hands and feet or stupid, seeds are thrown out of their hands, and it is difficult to control the number of particles.

There are also soil fertilizers, but the seeds cannot be covered to prevent the seeds from germinating and being blocked by grass blades in the future...... Wait a minute!

This is only in the planting stage, and there are also hoeing, fertilizing, harvesting and other links......

It is not easy for each seed to become a bowl of food from the time it hits the ground to the end.

Zhang Shouzhong asked the ox to stop, and looked at Wang Mingyuan, who was sweating profusely after plowing a circle, with a smile: "Ploughing needs to be seen and practiced, and you have to find a feeling that suits you, not you can learn it immediately, or wait until the crops are harvested and learn it when you plough the ground in winter!" ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded and asked another question: "Third uncle, how many acres of land can a cow plant in a day?" ”

"A cow, more than two acres!" Zhang Shouzhong weighed it, and said while loading dry tobacco for himself: "In the Chenjiagou production team before, I used a yellow cow, the kind that is very anxious, and at the end of the day, it probably ploughs less than four acres, which is already very powerful." The buffalo is not that fast, and if the sun is too hot at noon, it cannot be used, and it is easy to have problems. Therefore, when using buffalo to farm, it is a fight of morning and evening, and you can plant two acres a day, which is about the same. ”

"Can it be faster?"

Wang Mingyuan roughly estimated that in this place, the water flow is abundant, and most of the fields are distributed on both sides of the river, with paddy fields accounting for half of them, and the rest are reclaimed slope land.

Now, the paddy fields are waiting for seedlings, so there is no need to rush.

There are seventy or eighty acres of dry land, and according to the calculation of two acres for one cow, at the end of a day, it is only twenty-six acres, and it will take three days.

In fact, this is not a flat land, but a slope on the slope, most of the plots are narrow, when planting, even the plow, have to hold the plow and turn around frequently, very delay time is also particularly tiring, at the end of the day, a cow, may not be able to plant two acres of land.

In this way, it takes four days to plant, which is considered to be the top of the sky.

"The speed is already very good, ploughing with oxen for three hours, and digging manually for three days, no matter how fast it is, it can't be fast!" Zhang Shouzhong shook his head, and then asked, "What, do you have other arrangements?" ”

"Nope!"

Wang Mingyuan shook his head, he took off his shoes and shook the mud and sand inside, and put them on again: "Take your time, things are in a hurry anyway!" However, we still have to hurry up, it is not long before we take over the task of patrolling the border, there is still a lot of work to do, we still have to go to the farm as soon as possible to make some preparations. ”

Zhang Shouzhong nodded: "You have to hurry!" ”

"Okay, I won't delay you, you guys are busy!"

Wang Mingyuan got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, looked at the time, and it was almost time to eat...... It's time to go back to cooking.

Back at the Zhiqing Point, Wang Mingyuan first went to add water and feed to the piglets, and then went to the vegetable field to pick up some fresh vegetables to prepare for hot pot.

A person's meal, he has always been how simple it is.

It just so happened that I didn't have time to taste the hairy belly last night, so I'll make up for it today.

Just as he was washing the vegetables and preparing to go back to the kitchen, a dog barked from the road.

Wang Mingyuan immediately looked back, and was startled at first glance.

Coming along the dirt road was a large dog that resembled a wolf in both shape and coat color.

This kind of dog Wang Mingyuan is very familiar with, the wolf dog cultivated in Mingcheng is a kind of military and police working dog that does not lose the virtue of the herd, in later generations, has already been promoted and used throughout the country Excellent working dog breeds.

Wang Mingyuan really didn't expect that in 80 years, he would still be able to see the animal he was familiar with in 2023 - Mingcheng Wolf Qing.

Although it is similar to Demu, the character is the character of the earth dog, which is why Wang Mingyuan likes them, they are easy to feed, obedient, and loyal.

Originally, Mingcheng Wolf Green was the product of Tugou and Demu.

This wolf is of moderate size, well-proportioned, muscular, and has strong joints...... It's strong!

In these years, it is rare to raise a dog so strong.

Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly and looked at the person who followed quickly.

It was a young man of the same age as Wang Mingyuan, with a shotgun on his body, a mountain knife pinned to his waist, dressed as a hunter, and when he saw Wang Mingyuan, he hurriedly shouted at the wolf who was already looking at Wang Mingyuan very vigilantly in front of him: "Sit up for me!" ”

The wolf sat very spiritually on the ground until the young man came to it. All motionless.

Before Wang Mingyuan could speak, the young man laughed first: "I haven't seen you in Zhangjiaao before!" ”
