Chapter 109: Planting Rice
After soaking the grain seeds for a day, scooping them up again, and waiting until the water was almost drained, Su Jian called Xiong Da and Wang Yong.
Inspections of the fields can be done a little later, but planting paddy, especially when the rice seeds are ready, cannot be delayed. At the same time, it can also put an end to the lazy thinking like Xiong Er, thinking that after harvesting wheat, there is no need to plant the land, and you can rest for several months.
No matter what you do, it's best to keep doing it when you get used to it, and once you rest for too long, laziness will become a nature. They finally look energetic and energetic now, but they can't delay and change back to the beginning. Then her previous efforts would be in vain.
"The three of you are carrying the rice seeds, and the men are standing in the ditch, and they are spreading the seeds evenly along the mud we have built." Su Jian spoke, completely unaware that her original idea of just wanting to be stable had gradually changed, and in a sense, she hoped that the people who followed her would really learn something.
"Yes."
Su Jian paid attention to their behavior, and after finding that they had not made a mistake, he turned to look at Wang Yong and Xiong Da: "After that, the fields that cultivated seedlings did the same. ”
"Yes." Xiong Da and Wang Yong spoke in unison.
Su Jian nodded: "Another thing is that we have to make scarecrows to scare away sparrows, crows and other birds, just in case they steal our food when we are not paying attention." ”
"Madame, we don't have straw, but we can send more men to patrol the fields and not give them a chance." Xiong San said on the side.
Su Jian looked at Xiong San: "Your suggestion is good, but people's energy is limited, although it is inevitable for people to take care of the paddy fields, but with so many paddy fields, how many people do I have to arrange?" ”
Xiong San began to think: "This field can probably arrange two or three people. ”
"What do you think they should do if the bird lands and it falls to the middle of the mud? Rao is that you are all men, but you can't fly, and you can't be as light as a swallow, if you accidentally destroy the mud surface, it will destroy the hard work of all of us. Moreover, it is too tiring to keep the guards on high alert at all times. ”
Xiong San opened his mouth, knowing that Su Jian couldn't look down on his suggestion just now, he patted his mouth without a trace, he was obviously so smart before, how could he not think of a suggestion that satisfied Su Jian now.
The people around who listened to Su Jian's words, especially listening to Su Jian's consideration for them, felt even more thoughtful.
"Scarecrows are just called scarecrows, and they don't have to be made of straw. Didn't we harvest wheat before we had a lot of stalks? Just use them to make them, roughly the appearance of a dummy, make them on a long bamboo, and insert them into the ridge of the field, to the center of the paddy field, which can play a role in intimidation.
Of course, Xiong San's suggestion just now is not without merit. Su Jian looked at everyone.
Xiong San suddenly looked up at Su Jian, and his low heart resumed beating.
"It is necessary to arrange manpower to take care of it, but there is no need for so many people, with scarecrow care, two people are responsible for five fertile fields, alternating day and night." Su Jian thought of something, and turned to look at Wang Yong: "How many paddy fields do we have for cultivating seedlings?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, eleven pieces." Wang Yong hurriedly said.
Su Jian nodded, and secretly calculated that he had to make a big bubble of grain before, and the eleven fields should be able to deal with it: "Then take one group to be responsible for six paddy fields, and one group to be responsible for five, which of you is willing to take the lead first?" ”
"Madame, little one!"
It's Xiong San.
Su Jian was a little surprised by Xiong San's initiative, but after the surprise, she was happy, someone took the initiative to work to facilitate her work, how could she not be happy: "Then who are you in charge of five pieces or ...... in a group?"
"I'm in a group with Xiong Er, and I'm in charge of six fields." Xiong San spoke: "Be a dummy, the small one will do it, if the lady believes in the small one, please leave it to the small one to do it." ”
Su Jian looked at Xiong San thoughtfully: "Yes, a scarecrow in a field, of course, it doesn't matter if you have a little more." ”
"Please rest assured, ma'am." After Xiong San finished speaking, he turned around and went to find the wheat straw.
Su Jian no longer looked at Xiong San, but only instructed Wang Yong and Xiong Da to arrange for people to finish sowing the rice seeds within today, and then she went to check the situation of the eleven paddy fields one by one. At the same time, it is necessary to personally check the water storage of the remaining paddy fields. If the water in the paddy field is not enough, more water should be stored in the later stage.
"Your method of cultivating seedlings is novel."
The faint sound of Qimo in her ears startled Su Jian, who was concentrating on her work, she turned her head sideways and looked at Qimo angrily: "Why are you here?" ”
"You said yesterday you were going to cook for me, and you left early in the morning...... While I don't have classes in the morning, I'll remind you. Qimo spoke honestly.
Su Jian was speechless, he was afraid that he would not have dinner, but he was really worried, so he gave him money for dinner, and this money was a lot, so she would definitely let him eat: "Don't worry, I arranged for Xionghong to go to the city to buy ingredients early in the morning, and I will definitely let you have a good meal today." ”
Qi Mo's brows moved, although he didn't speak, but obviously his expression softened a lot: "Actually, the things you did just now are also troublesome, I see that some of your land is also quite wet, why do you need to cultivate rice seeds in paddy fields, can't you do it in the soil?" ”
After Qi Mo finished speaking, he saw Su Jian looking at him: "If you feel that there is a lack of water, wouldn't it be enough to let people drench water every day?" ”
Su Jian looked at Qimo, and didn't want to answer his question, because he was really mentally retarded when he asked, but considering that there were other people around, if he said more, they could also understand more: "First of all, paddy fields are different from land because they have a good water storage function; secondly, let people carry water and water every day, which is actually a disguised way to make people work more, and the rice seeds may not be able to live; Finally, rice actually has another name, called rice. Rice rice, since it's rice, you can't leave the water, understand? ”
Qi Mo's eyes changed when he looked at Su Jian, and he wanted to say something, but Su Jian obviously ignored him and continued to look at the situation in the paddy field.
"What Madame said is very reasonable, and the little one has been written down."
"Hmm."
"Madam, what about the paddy fields where we grow rice, and the dry fields?"
Su Jian is also thinking about this problem, she had an idea when she fought Xiong Er before, and she already had an idea of planting beans, just like making chili peppers, to achieve self-sufficiency, so that she has more confidence. But that day she was also too angry to say that planting beans, the conditions here are not as modern as modern, not to plant whatever you want, if you want to live on a large scale, you can choose the second half of the year.
But what is the land to be planted? Green beans and cowpea corn are very suitable for planting now, but the seeds are ......
"The dry land will not move for the time being, but there is one thing that you need to do immediately." Su Jian looked serious and looked at Wang Yonghe and Xiong Da: "We have harvested the wheat, and the wheat stalks and stubble have all been cleaned up by you." You've done a great job, especially since you didn't throw away the straws at random, but piled them up in one place. ”
"Madame once said that there are very few things in the fields that are useless." Bear Boulevard.
Su Jian nodded, satisfied with Xiong Da putting her words in her heart: "Later, taking advantage of the fact that it has not rained in the past few days, most of the wheat stalks are dry, you organize people to burn the wheat stalks on the spot, and wait until the ashes after burning are cooled, and each field is evenly sprinkled with some." ”
When Xiong Da heard this, he quickly received the order, but Wang Yong opened his mouth to speak.
Su Jian saw Wang Yong's doubts, and her brows moved for Wang Yong's studiousness: "You must want to know why I want to do this." ”
"Yes." Wang Yongdao.
Su Jian smiled: "The ashes of the burned wheat stalks are scattered in the field, and there are many benefits. First, it can increase the fertility of the soil, and the next time we plant wheat or something else, the yield will increase. ”
Wang Yong and Xiong Er's eyes lit up when they heard this, the yield of 300 catties of wheat per mu was already a high yield for them, could it be increased again?
"Second, it can prevent insect pests, and if you plant again, the chance of crops getting sick will be lower; Third, it can also reduce the occurrence of overgrown weeds. "In fact, it would be better if it was burned in situ, and it would also increase the porosity of the soil. But...... Wang Yong had already cleaned up some of the wheat stalks first, Xiong Da was also doing it, she didn't order it before, and what they did couldn't be said wrong, so she could only secretly say that it was a pity. Thinking of something, she added: "While there is not much water in the paddy fields now, we should quickly sprinkle some of them, and later, we need to make sure that each paddy field has enough water." ”
"Yes."
