It's been so busy for a few days, it's going to be April, and we're always worried when we see my sister-in-law these days, we are all very puzzled, I don't know if something happened at home, it's not right, my aunt and Lu Fang We basically see each other every day, and it's okay.

It was Li Cheng who was intimate and asked everyone's questions.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong, why don't you be in a bad mood these days, is there something to worry about, let's talk about it, we can solve it for you."

"You can't solve this. Seeing that rice will be planted in more than a month, it is still snowing this day, and the temperature outside is still so low, this year's rice must be ellipse, and I have no bottom in my heart. ”

Yes, Tashan Village can still be so peaceful at this time, all thanks to the fact that everyone has a grain store at home, but the grain is also eaten one day, if the rice can not be sown on time, and the farmer can not harvest as usual, then the life of the people in the village is not much better. Isn't there an old saying: "If you have food in your hand, you don't panic in your heart." "Yes. This is exactly the case now.

We thought about it, we really helped with this, although no one can say for sure about the weather, but I didn't meet it in a dream, I know that this kind of weather will last until the end of April, and when the temperature rises and the time to raise seedlings, it will be good to be able to plant rice at the end of May.

The rice growing season here is more than three months, and if the rice can be planted at the end of May, it will be harvested in October, and there will be a drought in the middle of July, and the rice yield in Tashiyama Village will inevitably decrease.

Jiang Zhi and I discussed a solution to this problem a year ago.

Although there are some ideas. But because he had never farmed, he couldn't be 100% guaranteed to succeed, so Jiang Zhi asked his brother-in-law with some uncertainty. "Brother-in-law, don't we have to raise seedlings for rice first, can we raise the seedlings in the greenhouse in the backyard first, and then as soon as the weather gets warmer, we will move the seedlings directly to the paddy field, okay?"

"It's such a process, but who knows when the weather will get warmer, and it will take more than 20 days to raise seedlings. Then we have to plant the seedlings in the paddy fields, so if we raise the seedlings in advance, the weather will not be able to plant the seedlings at that time. The rice seedlings will be blind. After thinking about Jiang Zhi's proposal for a while, the little brother-in-law felt that it would not work.

What the sister-in-law thought of was that the temperature was not enough when the rice was planted, and the rice seedlings could not survive. And the solution we came up with was because we knew the approximate time of the warmer weather. Take advantage of the method of early planting. The growing season of rice will be brought forward a little. If we start raising seedlings now, we can plant them by the beginning of May, just one month earlier, and the harvest season will be in mid-August, so that we can make the rice grow as little as possible during the dry period in the summer, and the survival rate and harvest of the rice should be relatively guaranteed.

I told everyone what I thought, and my sister-in-law said, "Your idea can't be realized, you haven't farmed before." I don't know how rice seedlings can grow in the greenhouse when they grow to a certain extent. ”

I disagree with it. Although I have never planted land, I also know that this rice is not only rice, isn't there also upland rice, and can't it also produce rice?

"Isn't there still upland rice, let's start with upland rice planting."

"There is upland rice, but the yield of upland rice is very low, and it is about the same as the harvest of rice that has been damaged." My sister-in-law kindly reminded me not to be whimsical.

However, the little brother-in-law didn't expect that those of us who had never planted the land really began to discuss, the method of planting rice in the greenhouse, and what we said was all imaginary, without a little scientific basis, and finally he really couldn't listen to it, so he had to sigh and wander home.

Our discussion is in full swing. It may be the fearlessness of the ignorant, and we all think that this is almost possible, so we are ready to start our upland rice project today.

In fact, it's not entirely unfounded nonsense, my space is the most powerful guarantee, think about the small vegetables we grow in D city with black soil mixed with the fertile soil on the mountain, which grows fast and strong. With the previous experience, so I dare to say that I want to plant upland rice in the greenhouse in advance, I have the good seeds in the space, and the black soil, the stream water these cheating tools, the rice should be able to survive smoothly in the greenhouse, if the weather warms up in May, we can transplant the rice in the greenhouse to the paddy field, so that it can be ripe in mid-August, theoretically my plan should be realized.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Zhi and Li Shanqing and Li Cheng turned over the land in the greenhouse, although we have never planted the land, but we still know some theories.

For example, before planting, the ground should be turned deep once, and the eggs in the ground should be turned over to the ground to freeze to death, etc.

Our greenhouse is still quite large, more than one acre of land, so in order to speed up, I gave Li Shanqing and Li Cheng each a giant charm, just watch the three of them in the greenhouse shovel waving up and down, in an afternoon, more than an acre of land has been turned, and then we didn't close the door of the greenhouse that night, hoping that the low temperature outside nearly minus 40 degrees will kill the eggs hidden in the soil.

On the second day, we closed the door of the greenhouse and began to heat the greenhouse until it was about 20 degrees above zero for seedlings, and we began to raise seedlings.

When we really want to get started, we have some numb claws, although we also have a book dedicated to teaching rice field planting, but there are still many places that we don't understand, for example, the book says "seedlings first raise roots, raise roots first and breed roots", we don't know what to do, so Jiang Zhi still went to invite his sister-in-law.

The little brother-in-law was really interesting, he persuaded us not to waste seeds, but he couldn't bear our inquiries, told us what to do, sometimes looked at us stupid Kaka, and drove us to the side, and he personally got to the actual operation.

This kind of land is really not something that anyone can grow well, and the knowledge in it cannot be learned by reading a book, and it must be mastered by practical experience.

For example, we plowed the ground deeply, and my sister-in-law said that it was right to do so. However, if it is a seedling, the ground must be leveled and a layer of fine soil should be spread on the surface. Then, after the seeds are selected and planted, a layer of fine soil is added to the seeds.

The little sister-in-law originally wanted to persuade us to give up under the pretext that there was no fine soil to raise seedlings, but Jiang Zhi said: "Little brother-in-law, you wait, let's go and go back." ”

Then, the three of them went back and forth several times, carrying a few sacks of soil, and the little brother-in-law opened it and recognized that it was the fertile soil under the rotten leaves on the mountain, "How many bags have you even saved this?" The little brother-in-law asked in disbelief.

"Haha, originally Xiaoyi wanted to plant some flowers in front of the house and behind the house and under the courtyard wall, I only went up the mountain last summer to carry a few bags, and now it is important to plant rice, so let's use this first." If she wants to plant flowers, when the weather is good, I'll go to the mountains and give her some time. Jiang Zhi found a reason to explain the origin of these bags of soil.

I thought to myself, is this a lie down and also shot, but Jiang Zhi can only say that it is my reason, there is no one at home who can say, hey!

My sister-in-law looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, thinking that I was really not the person who was in the wind and snow, I quickly explained: "It's still important to plant rice, and I won't plant flowers, I was also bored at that time, haha, boring, if it were now, I would rather plant pumpkins than flowers, it's too useless." ”

After listening to my words, my sister-in-law looked at me normally, and should have thought that I had convulsions at that time before saying that I wanted to plant flowers, and now saying this is completely in line with my character.

In one day, the sister-in-law handed over the seedling raising procedures to us, and when he was leaving, he was still saying to Jiang Zhi, "This kind of seed is very good at first glance, you spent a lot of money to buy it, don't waste it, you can just make a small piece of land first, don't be all Huohuo." ”

The seeds are rice produced in the space, and each of them is full of grains, so the little sister-in-law will think that we are so foolish, the rice must not grow, and these good seeds are a pity.

But I have my own idea, and if I had envisioned it, I would have been able to grow rice in this way. The others went crazy with us because they completely trusted me and Jiang Zhi.

I called the eldest sister, the second sister, and Lu Fang, and together with these people in the family, they trained how to raise seedlings.

In terms of the soil quality of the seedlings, Jiang Zhi and I also discussed it. The black soil of the space still has to add some into it, so that at least the nutrition of the rice seedlings can be guaranteed, but it can not be added more, and this method will be spread in the mountain village after it is not done. The problem is that they don't have black soil, so even if they use our methods, they won't be 100% successful. It is also impossible for us to distribute the black soil to them, so the black soil should be added in an appropriate amount, so that the rice seedlings can grow faster and stronger, but not beyond the normal range.

Next, the sister-in-law spent two days teaching everyone salt water seed selection, germination, and sowing, and everyone began to get busy, although everyone learned very seriously, there were still many mistakes, and some seeds were wasted, but we learned a lot of experience from it.

When the greenhouses of more than one acre have grown small rice seedlings, we are all relieved, no matter what, the first step is success.

The little sister-in-law looked at our long, lush lawn-like rice seedlings, and his eyebrows were wrinkled to kill flies.

"Your seedlings are too dense, the rice should be sparse and sturdy, it is 'rather sparse than dense', can you plant rice seedlings like this?"

"It's okay, aren't we planting upland rice?" Jiang Zhi explained.

"Whether it's upland rice or rice, the seedlings can't be so dense." My sister-in-law was speechless to us half-tone peasants.

"It's okay, if it doesn't last long, we'll just pull it out when the time comes." Jiang Zhi replied without thinking about it.

The sister-in-law who listened was quite speechless. (To be continued.) )
