Chapter 340: Clearing the Grass and Sowing Grass Seeds

After buying a car, the two brothers of Chengxin had one each, with a temporary license plate, and drove to the largest agricultural machinery market in the city.

The agricultural machinery market sells all kinds of agricultural machinery.

From cultivators and harvesters to pumps, all kinds of farm tools can be found here.

Although there are many, it is still not as complete as the agricultural machinery market in the north.

After all, there are too few flat and large pieces of land here in Qingshi.

Unlike in the north, where there are several or even tens of kilometers of flat land at a glance.

So those big cultivators, large combine harvesters, these things, there are no here, they are all small.

Chengxin didn't come to buy ploughland or harvesters.

He and Zhong Tao went around the market for a while before they found today's goal.

Piggyback mowers.

Considering that the area of the grassland is relatively large, Chengxin directly bought several pairs.

At the same time, he also bought a few pairs of gasoline-powered sprayers in the market, which he used to spray the grass with diluted spiritual liquid in the future.

Then, the two searched for a long time, and only then did they find a place to sell all kinds of forage seeds in the nearest seed market.

To be honest, there are really not too many people selling this kind of grass seed here in Qingshi.

Fortunately, this store has a complete range of forage seeds.

Chengxin directly bought more than ten kinds in one go.

What ryegrass, alfalfa, white clover, milk vetch, silver acacia ~~ and so on.

The plants are not too tall.

After all, the meadow is not suitable for growing maize grass or royal grass, which grows tall and tall.

After purchasing these things, the two drove back to the village in their new car.

The day after returning to the village, Zhong Tao found more than a dozen people in the village and went to work on the grass with a lawnmower.

Chengxin didn't follow, and drove a pickup truck to the town.

Whether it's a lawn mower or a sprayer, or Chengxin's car, these are all oil-burning.

Although a few months ago, Chengxin airlifted a barrel of gasoline to refuel the all-terrain vehicle in the mountains, but this barrel of oil can't withstand squandering, right?

Now it's still half a barrel, and that's definitely not enough.

So Chengxin drove a pickup truck to the gas station in the town to fill up two barrels of gasoline and came back.

When he returned with gasoline, Zhong Tao had led the villagers to clear several acres of dead grass.

These lawn mowers, although they look small, are still reasonably fast.

A set of lawn mowers can cut more than an acre of dead grass in an hour.

Each of the five villagers carried a knapsack mower, all spaced some distance apart.

Each person was followed by two people, on the one hand, they raked the cut grass and a rake made of bamboo in a pile, and on the other hand, they waited for it to be replaced.

Although the motor of this lawn mower is not too heavy on the body.

But you have to hold the transmission rod and move it left and right, so that the iron chain that rotates below will cut the dead grass.

It doesn't look very hard, but it's still a little tiring after swinging from side to side for a long time.

If those who don't use their waists much often swing for an hour and a half and an hour, they may not be able to get out of bed the next day.

In order not to crush the stone road in the village, Chengxin parked the pickup truck on the reserved flat land.

He didn't call anyone to help, he went straight to the back of the pickup truck, opened the door, and reached out to hug the standard gasoline barrel full of gasoline.

These two gasoline barrels, each with a diameter of eighty centimeters.

Chengxin couldn't hold it all with both hands, but he barely made it strong.

Holding and testing the weight, with both arms, snorted lightly, a barrel filled with gasoline, a diameter of 80 centimeters, a height of 120 centimeters, and a total weight of nearly 300 kilograms of gasoline barrels, so Chengxin hugged him.

Chengxin's strength is getting bigger and bigger.

Before there was no spiritual liquid, if he was asked to carry such a heavy barrel of gasoline, even if the shook out, he would not be able to hold it.

After a long period of moisturizing and transformation of the spiritual liquid, holding such a heavy barrel of gasoline, although he still felt a little heavy, he felt that he should be able to carry it home.

Without making any sound, Chengxin held a bucket full of gasoline and slowly walked towards home step by step.

Whew.

After all, he is not Superman, Chengxin stepped into the arch from the stone path, put the oil drum on the side, and then held the oil drum in his hand and gasped.

Of course, it's not that I can't hold it, it's only about ten meters away from the dam, and I gritted my teeth and hugged it.

But Chengxin didn't plan to take it home.

After all, two barrels of gasoline are not safe to put at home.

It's okay to put it in a wooden fence, and you're not afraid of someone stealing it, just get a tarpaulin to cover it with rainwater.

You don't need to build a shed to shade the sun, and by the time the summer comes, you'll run out of oil.

Even if it is not used up, by that time, a house has already been built on the edge of the reserved vacant land, and the gasoline or something will be put there.

After resting for a few minutes, Chengxin returned the same way, carried the remaining barrel of gasoline, and then went home with a tarpaulin, covered the oil drum thickly and went to the grass.

"How's that going, brother, is this thing so good?"

After all, he had only just returned, and he didn't know if this thing was good or not.

"It's okay, it's just that it's clean without a hoe." Zhong Tao replied.

That's right, after all, this lawn mower relies on the two chains on the lower disc to rotate at high speed to break the dead grass.

So there are still a centimeter or two of grass stakes left that have not been cleaned up.

However, this does not affect the growth of some young grasses, and the grass seeds can also come into contact with the soil when sprinkled.

With the characteristics of the spiritual liquid, after the grass seeds are sprinkled, after spraying the spiritual liquid once, the dead grass piles left behind will be covered by the newly grown grass after it does not take long to leave.

Only rot becomes a nutrient waiting for them.

got a reply that was okay with this, Chengxin didn't ask too much, he was idle, he asked a villager who was mowing the grass to stop, took the other party's equipment and put it on his back, and started the crazy mowing work.

More than a dozen people took turns to work for nine hours a day, and at the end of the day, about 60 acres were cleared.

Of course, this number is also an approximation, and Chengxin has not pulled a ruler to measure it.

In more than 20 days, more than a dozen people finally completely cleaned up the entire grassland of more than 1,000 acres.

During this period, it stopped a few times because of the rain.

Every day, after cleaning, piles of dead grass are burned on the spot.

The burnt grass ash is also sprinkled on the grass.

Every three days, Chengxin will soak some grass seeds brought back and sprinkle them together in the cleared grass.

This is to prevent too many weeds from growing in the cleared grass over time, which will affect the germination of the pasture.

After the whole meadow has been cleared and sprinkled with grass seeds, the first grass seeds have taken root in the meadow.

It rains from time to time this season, and there is no need for manual watering.

After a few days of fine weather, Cheng Xin asked Zhong Tao to call someone again, and then used a gasoline sprayer to spray diluted spiritual liquid into the grass.

With the spraying of this diluted spiritual fluid, the grass that only gave off a few shoots grew faster and faster.

Not only these artificially planted grasses, but also some of the weeds that were already growing in the first place also began to grow faster because of the absorption of spiritual fluid.

Those withered weeds, or weed seeds that fell in the grass in the summer, should not have regrown until after the beginning of spring, but with the blessing of the aura, plus the temperature at this time, a bit like spring and summer, they all began to grow early.

Fortunately, some weeds can grow in the village meadow in winter, and with the seeds sown, the village names are not too surprised that the grass has turned back to green.

I just feel that the current scientific development is amazing.
