Chapter 22: The Sheep Plough

After five sunny days after the rain, the temperature rose rapidly, and the content of the elements in the atmosphere of the blue star dropped to a normal level. After the elements in the soil had almost volatilized, Xia Qing began to prepare for sowing.

She used the five days to clean up the wild grass and poisonous insects in the three villages, and also uprooted the grass in the 30 acres of the most fertile and flat land near the reservoir. Of course, she only pulled out the evolutionary grass that grew wildly in the rain, and she didn't care about the sparse grass seedlings that grew normally under the evolutionary grass. Except for the grass that was willing to be dropped by the sheep boss, the rest of the grass is there.

However, Xia Qing decided not to clean it up and directly ploughed. She stood on the edge of the ground, took out a cluster of toon buds and shook it and shouted, "Boss, eat toon buds?" ”

The sheep boss who was grazing grass in the field immediately rushed over, and Xia Qing took advantage of the opportunity for it to eat and put a special ploughing cover on its body. This set is made by Xia Qing in accordance with the style of a vest-style dog walking rope for dog walking, to ensure that the sheep boss cannot break free and strangle.

After putting on the equipment, Xia Qing turned the bamboo pole tied to the machine plow, and the bamboo pole with a cluster of Tsubaki tree buds began to sway in front of the head of the sheep boss. Because of the language barrier, there are only two ways to communicate between Xia Qing and Boss Yang: food and fighting.

Xia Qing hung up the bait and shouted loudly, "Boss, your chance to perform has finally come, start work!" ”

After eating the toon buds on the ground, the sheep boss poked his head out to eat the one in front of him, and found that he couldn't reach it. It stepped forward enough toon buds, toon buds also ran forward, the sheep boss was not convinced, continued to enough, it hung a rope tightly, three plowshares went deep into the soil, Xia Qing held the handrail of the machine plow, and began to plow the land.

This three-plough machine plough should have been pulled by a tractor and had no handrails. After Xia Qing dug it out of the ruins of the village, it was modified and repeatedly debugged to become the current sheep plough.

The sheep boss easily pulled the plow from this end to the other end, Xia Qing pulled the bamboo pole back, and a cluster of toon buds reached the sheep boss's mouth. When the sheep boss stopped eating toon buds, Xia Qing immediately moved the sheep plough to turn around, and then hung a cluster of toon buds, and then the sheep boss pulled the plough stick from this end of the ground back to the other end.

After a trip back and forth, a 1.5-meter-wide and 200-meter-long block was ploughed!

After another circle, nearly an acre of land was completed, which was much faster than Xia Qing's turning with a shovel and a shovel, and Xia Qing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

When the sheep boss had eaten enough toon buds and was about to lose his temper and strike, Xia Qing changed the bait.

A small piece of ration hung in front of him, and the sheep boss doubled his enthusiasm and doubled it, plowing 30 acres of land, which only took more than an hour, consuming a piece of ration and a handful of toon buds.

Xia Qing took off the cover on the hero's body, fed him water and combed his hair, and the sheep boss, who was full of food and was satisfied, squinted and rested on the ground, watching Xia Qing continue to be busy very proudly.

Xia Qing finished cleaning up the roots, grass and stones that had been ploughed, and stood up and looked at the magpies, sparrows and crows that fell on the cultivated land to eat insects, and was in a very bad mood.

The bird eats the insects in the field, and her food can grow better, and the first day after the rain starts so smoothly, and a good harvest is expected!

But when listening to the radio at night to introduce birds not only eat insects, but also dig and eat seeds in the soil, Xia Qing couldn't get up.

Immediately afterwards, the radio introduced the coping method, "The experts of the planting research center of our base recommend two methods to the lords: one is to stir the seeds with insect repellent powder and then sow the seeds, which can not only repel birds, but also prevent the evolution of pests in the soil from damaging the seeds; The second is to use the sap of the three-level odor to evolve cinnamon or camphor trees, and spray it on the sowing plot with water in a ratio of one to ten, which can effectively repel most of the birds, and the two methods are more effective when used at the same time. Experts reminded that the lords should not scatter the seeds directly on the surface in order to save trouble, and the sowing depth of wheat should be three to five centimeters, and the row spacing should be ...... Cotton...... In order to improve the germination rate, the seeds can be soaked overnight, but the water temperature must be controlled......"

Xia Qing lay on the side of the table, lighting a candle and taking notes carefully.

Before the natural disaster, China's urbanization rate had reached more than 70 percent, and most of China's arable land had been handed over to large-scale specialized farms. In the ten years of natural disasters, the old people who can farm but have low resistance have died one after another, and most of the lords of the territory do not know how to farm. Therefore, although the mobile phone sent to the lord has the "Planting Encyclopedia" on it, the base still takes the trouble to broadcast the planting knowledge in detail every day.

Xia Qing worked in the planting center in the safety zone, and she still understands the basic process of farming, but she doesn't dare to be sloppy at all. Because the planting center is planted in a rainproof greenhouse, it is now planted in the open air.

After the rain, the evolution of plants grows violently, the traffic between the safe zone and the territory is interrupted, Xia Qing's two power banks cannot be charged in time, she has to give priority to ensuring the power of listening to the radio every day, and the mobile phone is only used to make calls.

After planting, she must find a way to get a few solar panels back.

Xia Qing put away her notebook and sat on the tatami mat while picking sheep, while thinking about the news content of the broadcast.

It's been five days, and the broadcast of Huisan Base has not mentioned the death toll caused by this rain, and Xia Qing conservatively estimates that it must be over 7,000.

Although no specific casualties are reported, the announcer will tell touching stories every day. Today's broadcast is the heroic deeds of the Shufeng Clan, which sacrificed six people to repel the evil forces in order to ensure the safety of public facilities and property.

Xia Qing guessed that Feng Teng should be among the six people, so Feng Wen would cry so sadly on Zhong Tao's phone.

Feng Wen cried not because of how good her relationship with her brother was, but because after Feng Teng's death, Feng Wen had no support. She cried in exchange for more survival supplies.

As for the cause of Feng Teng's death, it is definitely not the reason for the broadcast, because Feng Teng ran faster than anyone else when he encountered danger.

Who are the "evil forces" mentioned on the radio, and where did they get the confidence to dare to confront the Shufeng team and Tang Zhengrong, the second-in-command of the base behind the team?

Before Xia Qing could figure it out, the sheep boss stood up, opened the door skillfully and went out. In the past few days, the sheep boss has learned to open and close the door with his hooves, and the door of the house has been secured.

Xia Qing no longer thought about Feng Wen, got up and took out the seeds, and soaked them according to the method taught on the radio. She uses half filtered water and half water from mountain springs, which is of better quality.

When she was in the safe zone, Xia Qing used flower pots to grow vegetables like most people, and although she took good care of them, most of them would rise wildly in the rain, and not much could be eaten in the end. However, after the ginger and garlic seedlings she transplanted after arriving in the territory experienced red rain, only three of the seventeen seedlings were destroyed, which was lower than that in the greenhouse of the planting center in the safe zone.

After Xia Qing's analysis, she felt that eighty percent of the reason for the low decay rate was because she poured mountain spring water after transplanting, and two percent was that the soil here was better.

The one with filtered water was planted in thirty acres of cultivated land, and the one with mountain spring water was turned over before the rain, and again after the rain.

In order to ensure that the water temperature is kept between 30 °C and 40 °C, Xia Qing, who does not have constant temperature equipment, simply uses her body temperature to test the water temperature, and hardly sleeps all night.
