Chapter 238: Interplanting (Three Changes)

Hong Lianshuo arrived at Cao Huaimin's house with his son in his arms, and he was still drawing patterns in the house.

Hearing the movement outside, Cao Huaimin hurriedly came out, hugged his fists and arched his hand, "Hong Niangzi." ”

"What's the matter with me?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him curiously and asked, looking at Xiao Mazha under the corridor, "Sit, let's sit down and talk." He sat down with his son in his arms.

"Is it about winter wheat?" Cao Huaimin pulled Xiao Mazha and sat down.

"Ahh What happened to winter wheat? Haven't you planted it yet?" Chen Zhongyuan said with a big grin.

"Now it must be planted, see the wheat seedlings on the autumn equinox." Cao Huaimin said seriously and seriously.

"Then plant! It's still useful! When Lin Nanzheng heard this, he immediately said, "This is not negotiable!" ”

"Is that so? Our farmland is planted with sorghum! Cao Huaimin looked at them with a frown and said, "And the sorghum is not ripe yet!" It cannot be harvested. ”

"Ahh The crowd was dumbfounded.

"What a deal! I'm still thinking about having white flour buns next year! It's over, it's gone. Sixi said with a sad face.

"Isn't there some wasteland outside the city! Plant wheat in the wasteland! Han Baohu said simply and easily, what a big deal he was driving!

"This wasteland leveling is too troublesome, and it's too late to time." Cao Huaimin said with some chagrin and self-reproach, he was still in charge of the people, and he actually made such a big mistake in farming.

"Uh......" Everyone stared wide-eyed, and they were only concerned with planting sorghum and forgot about winter wheat.

"In the past, we all harvested wheat and planted sorghum, and there was no conflict! What's going on this time? Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with a puzzled face and asked.

"Yidi came during the summer harvest, surrounded for a month, and with the plague, he went back and forth for nearly two months." Cao Huaimin patted his palms on the back of his hand and said angrily, "The ripening period of sorghum is about 110 days, and it will take 120 days to reach 120 days, which has not yet grown and cannot be harvested, which will delay the sowing of winter wheat." ”

"Ahh Chen Zhongyuan said angrily with a dark face, "It's all to blame on the damn Yidi, I'm angry with me." ”

"Don't be angry, now hurry up and figure out how to sow this wheat." Lin Nanzheng said anxiously, "I don't want to eat sorghum anymore, I want to eat it until next summer, and my stomach will regurgitate when I think about it." ”

"Don't talk about it." Cao Huaimin has a shallow stomach and retched on the spot.

It's really that this sorghum can't be compared with white flour! The taste is too bad.

"Let's open up the wasteland now!" Han Baohu's eyes thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of us!" ”

Cao Huaimin hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, it's too late in time." ”

"Ploughing with war horses?" Fang Dazhui said positively.

"War horses?" Lin Nanzheng said reluctantly when he heard this, "That land is not good for plowing!" Can our horses withstand it? ”

"General Lin, this person is almost out of food, and you still feel sorry for the horse." Jiang Shuisheng looked at him with dark eyes and said, "If there is really no food, this war horse will also kill to satisfy hunger." ”

"You are not allowed to touch my horse!" Lin Nanzheng stood up and glared at Jiang Shuisheng and said.

"Don't make noise, don't make noise, sit down, sit down, let's figure it out?" Hong Lianshuo pressed down with both hands.

"There's no way to think about it? Where did I get so much land, I don't have anything to do now, except to conjure up land. Han Baohu's face was ugly, and he looked at them with a wrinkled brow and said.

Hong Lianshuo listened to their argument and tapped his index finger lightly on his lower cover, suddenly paused, and looked at them with bright eyes, "Interseeding, have you ever interseeded?" ”

"Intercropping? What does it mean? Lin Nanzheng looked at her in surprise and said.

Cao Huaimin suddenly raised his head suddenly, looked at her with dark and shining eyes, and said, "Mrs. Hong means that wheat is now planted in the sorghum field. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him eagerly and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"I don't know, I guess it's okay!" Cao Huaimin looked at her hesitantly and said.

"This sorghum is too tall to stop the growth of wheat?" Chen Zhongyuan said with some concern.

"As long as it sprouts, it doesn't let it grow and grow tall for the winter." Cao Huaimin looked at them with a torch in his eyes and said, "This winter, the weather is warm, and the wheat seedlings are too high, so they have to be rolled with stone grinders to prevent them from growing too fast." ”

"Oops! There is no land left, so let's start planting wheat right away. Sixi said happily as he looked at them.

"Don't worry, don't worry, just wait for a rain." Cao Huaimin immediately said when he heard this, "There is still plenty of time. ”

"Then be prepared, weed, plow." Hong Lianshuo's deep and upright black eyes looked at them and said.

"This plough requires manpower to carry a hoe into the sorghum field. I can't count on the horses now. Lin Nanzheng said with some joy, unconcealing his excitement.

"Manpower will be very tiring." Cao Huaimin's black and white eyes looked innocent and said.

"I know." When Lin Nanzheng heard this, he looked at them lightly and said, "Let's be tired, don't be afraid." ”

Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at them and said, "When I was hoeing the field, I found that the sorghum that didn't grow well was uprooted. Make room for wheat. ”

"Of course, if it doesn't grow well, it will naturally be removed." Chen Zhongyuan echoed casually, his face was already cloudy and sunny.

"Then it's decided, I'll arrange the farming." Cao Huaimin said unyieldingly.

"You have a heavy burden, can you bear it?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him worriedly and said.

"I'll just talk about it, and they still have to do the specific work." Cao Huaimin smiled when he heard this, "I'm full of energy now." ”

"Alright then!" Hong Lianshuo nodded in response, turned around and told the children to look at Cao Huaimin, don't be too tired.

"Old Cao, is there anything else?" Hong Lianshuo asked as he looked directly at him.

"No, the matter of sowing winter wheat is now resolved." Cao Huaimin was as happy as a child, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, he was useless!

"Speaking of this, if it doesn't rain, is there a waterwheel for this irrigation?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and looked at Cao Huaimin and said.

"Yes, yes." Cao Huaimin nodded when he heard this, "It's just that the pattern of this waterwheel is made according to it, and it can't achieve the effect we want." ”

"What's wrong?" Han Baohu looked at them with some confusion and said.

"The effect of drawing water is not good, and it is laborious." Cao Huaimin said with a frown.

"I'll look back at this pattern, and let's discuss how to improve it." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with bright eyes when he heard this, and said with his index finger lightly tapped his knee, "Actually, in the southeast, the terrain is flat, and there is a lake, so you can dig irrigation canals." ”
