Chapter 039: Simple Greenhouse Rescues Seedlings
After the two came out, He Zhiguo stared at the two expectantly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
After a while, Jiang Tian nodded slowly, "There is a way, but it is a bit time-consuming and laborious." ”
Hearing that there was a way, He Zhiguo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's nothing to be time-consuming and laborious, as long as the seedlings can survive this cold wave and ensure the yield." He Zhiguo said.
"Captain He, because the mulch film of the seedlings has been uncovered and has been affected by the low temperature, we have to quickly let people clean up the snow from the seedlings little by little." Jiang Tian swept his eyes at the white snow and exhaled.
"That's a good idea, I'll have someone clean it up right away." He Zhiguo responded.
"Cleaning the seedlings is a very delicate job, you must not hurt the rhizomes of the seedlings, the seedlings are very fragile when they are frozen, Captain He, you must pay attention when you let people clean up." Jiang Tian instructed.
He Zhiguo nodded again and again, "I will let them pay attention to their hands and feet." ”
"Presumably you and Captain He have also noticed that the seedlings of our brigade are not too widely distributed, and they are basically concentrated together." Jiang Tian said suddenly.
"It's just for the sake of dividing the seedlings, so they are all planted in one place." He Zhiguo replied.
"Fortunately, they are all planted nearby, and there is no east and west, otherwise it would be more troublesome to deal with." Jiang Tian said as He Zhiguo walked.
He Zhiguo turned his head sideways and asked, "Are you saying that it is inconvenient to clean up if it is far away?" ”
Jiang Tian nodded, "This is just one aspect, we have to warm up the seedlings later, if we are not together, it will be really a troublesome matter." ”
"Heating up?"
"Captain He, did our brigade still use the mulch film before?"
He Zhiguo recalled slightly, "It should be gone, when I went to the commune, it was probably pulled according to the number of acres of land, even if there was a surplus, there was not much left." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Tian did not speak and fell into deep thought.
Chen Qingqing grabbed Jiang Tian's wrist and said, "Since there is no more, can you pull a little more?" ”
He Zhiguo shook his head and said: "The supply of mulch film is limited, and each of our brigades reports it, and then the commune purchases and distributes it to us like seeds. ”
"So since the mulch can't be used, can it be replaced by something else?" Chen Qingqing said again.
"There it is!" Jiang Tian suddenly spoke, causing He Zhiguo and Chen Qingqing to look at her in unison.
"What's there, Tiantian, you said!" Chen Qingqing looked at her and asked.
"There is no mulch, every household always has old clothes that can't be worn!" Jiang Tian raised his eyes and looked at He Zhiguo and asked.
"This ...... It should be possible to find out some. He Zhiguo hesitated for a while and said.
"Captain He, you arrange for some careful people to clean up the snow on the seedlings, and then arrange a few skilled craftsmen to cut the bamboo, and then each family goes back to collect old clothes that they don't wear."
Jiang Tian said to He Zhiguo in an orderly manner about the matters that were carried out at every step.
He Zhiguo's face showed embarrassment, and he stopped talking.
He Zhiguo didn't speak for a long time, and Jiang Tian asked puzzledly: "Is there anything inconvenient for Captain He to say?" ”
Hearing this, He Zhiguo lowered his head and sighed heavily, telling the truth in front of Jiang Tian.
"Jiang Zhiqing's cloth tickets are rare, life in the countryside is not easy, the clothes are all old and small, sewn and mend and wear again, if you go to every household to find old clothes, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything."
Saying this, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered that the current material was still very scarce, so he lowered his head and thought about it.
"Ahh
Jiang Tian stepped on a few thatchs under her feet and almost slipped, but fortunately, Chen Qingqing held her and helped her.
"Tiantian, are you alright?" Chen Qingqing grabbed Jiang Tian's arm vigorously and asked.
"Alright? If I hadn't held you, I would have fallen to the ground. Jiang Tian said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's very slippery to step on the thatch when it snows, Jiang Zhiqing must be careful, walk slowly and don't fall." As he spoke, He Zhiguo was about to kick away a few thatches in front of them.
"Wait-" Jiang Tian stopped with a loud voice.
He Zhiguo's feet froze in mid-air, "What's wrong?" ”
"It occurred to me that since there were no old clothes, we could replace them with thatch or straw! The results are all about the same, and could be better! Jiang Tian said to herself.
"Jiang Zhiqing, you make it clear." He Zhiguo put down his feet.
"Cut the bamboo and let the carpenter cut it two fingers wide, and then roast it slightly in the middle with a fire, bend it into the shape of an arch, if the bent bamboo is so tall, it is the best, put the bamboo next to the seedling, and the arch is just on the top of the seedling."
"Each bamboo is no more than a palm apart, and then covering it with thatch or straw is equivalent to building a house for the seedlings." Jiang Tian explained slowly.
"Now that the temperature outside is low, Tiantian, you are equivalent to building a greenhouse for them." Chen Qingqing said with a wink.
"That's what it means in theory, but now the temperature outside is so low that it's even below zero, and that's not enough." Jiang Tian said again.
"What else needs to be done?" He Zhiguo then asked.
Just hearing Jiang Tian's explanation, He Zhiguo knew that the seedlings in their brigade were saved, but he had a strange feeling that being able to arrange each step so carefully was not like what an agricultural expert said.
"We also have to heat them up and warm them up, so when this bamboo is inserted, it must be inserted at a distance to leave a place where a fire can be made." Jiang Tian's eyes also flashed with a fine light.
"Good! That's a great way to do it! He Zhiguo said excitedly, his face flushed and panting.
After the three of them told the general details on the way, they rushed to the scene.
When they saw He Zhiguo's happy look, everyone knew that the seedlings were saved.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up, those who have straw and thatch at home hurry back and carry them here, and every household will pull out a bundle of firewood, and then the craftsman who is fast will quickly go to the back mountain to cut bamboo and go to the field to do the work." As soon as He Zhiguo arrived at the scene, he beat the gong and drum and arranged it.
"Luo Honghua, Ma Mingqiong, Pan Chunxiang......" He Zhiguo called several personal names in a row, "You all go to the field with me, pick up all the snow on the seedlings, and remember not to hurt the rhizomes of the seedlings." ”
With He Zhiguo's arrangement, Jiang Tian's command, and Chen Qingqing's help, everyone soon proceeded in an orderly manner.
However, after half a day's work, the temporary insulation shed for the seedlings was built.
At the same time, a fire ignited inside, and the temperature rose.
With this method, everyone was finally relieved, Wu Chuanying and Liu Yulan were hiding in the crowd with their tails between their legs, without making a sound.
Everyone thanked Jiang Tian and Chen Qingqing for this, not to mention the agricultural experts behind them.
So much so that when the other brigades heard about this, they all wanted to come to the Fangshan Brigade to dig the foot of the wall.
