Xia Qing picked off the only three corn kernels on the white corn cob and placed them on the stone outside the shed, beckoning the red squirrels who were performing hard.

"Eat white food, this is all the corn kernels on the first corn that the boss peeled out, and I gave it to you for free. You don't need to exchange it, just take it and hide it. ”

When Xia Qing turned back to the corn shed, the red squirrel quickly formed a red line, grabbed all the corn kernels on the stone before a few birds that fell down to grab food, and fled.

When the birds fail to grab food, they flutter their wings and fly back to the trees or rocks, staring at the cornshed, waiting for the next chance to grab food.

Corn may have emitted a smell that summer green can't smell, and this smell is attractive to birds.

A few anxious birds have begun to peck at the insect nets and are about to go into the shed to eat corn.

The more birds gather, the more they look, the more exaggerated the posture is more exaggerated than harvesting wheat.

Xia Qing frowned and pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Everyone, are there any corn harvesters today?" When you peeled the corn husks, did any birds gather around the greenhouse? ”

Shi Yao immediately replied, "We also have it, it's weird and scary, I don't dare to peel the corn husk, let alone take the corn cob outside the shed, for fear of being attacked by birds." ”

The combat effectiveness of a small bird is not good, dozens or hundreds of them rushing up together can peck people and peck them to death.

Zhao's mother, who had not yet started to harvest corn, was worried, "If the birds gather too much, it will attract carnivorous birds of prey, and it is good for birds of prey to eat birds, in case it hurts people or damages the greenhouse, it will be troublesome." ”

Tang Huai went online and asked enthusiastically, "Xia Qing, what about the corn?" It's dirty and tiring, do you need help? It's free, just give me a tender corn to bring back and cook and eat after harvesting. ”

If he used the one that only grew three grains of rice as a reward for Tang Huai, would he be mad?

Xia Qing grinned, "There are not a few plants, and they have already been harvested." ”

Tang Huai......

When Lao Tzu has never been to your territory? With so much corn, how could it be harvested in such a short time?

Qi Fu, who had not yet started harvesting corn, said, "Corn is different from wheat, and the wheat is dried in the sun after two or three days of harvesting. Corn has to be dried for more than half a month when the weather is good, and it can't be dried for a month or two if the weather is bad. We can't take out a few people to catch the birds for half a month, we have to think of a good way. ”

Xiao Liu, the assistant of the ninth territory, found a business opportunity and immediately went online.

"Honorable Lords, Territory Nine has chemicals that can disperse birds. All you need is a bottle of 300 points to protect an area of 60 square meters for ten days. In 10 days, not a single bird can peck at the fruits of your labor that took 110 days of hard work. ”

Cong Qingwei asked politely, "Assistant Liu, is this new?" I remember the last time you said that the bird repellent in Territory Nine would only work for birds below level six. ”

Assistant Xiao Liu's voice was kind, "Mr. Kuang, you remember very accurately. This is not new, it is true that it is only effective for birds below level six, but more than ninety-five percent of birds above level six are carnivorous birds of prey, and birds of prey are not interested in corn. ”

"Okay, got it." Cong Qing Wille responded.

Assistant Xiao Liu heard that Kuang Qingwei didn't mean to buy bird repellent medicine, and turned to start conquering potential target customers, "Miss Xia, do you think you need it?" You have less labor in your territory, and you need new means and technologies to protect corn, right? ”

Xia Qing responded politely, "I don't need it here for the time being, I can use the cover I used to dry cotton to cover the corn, which can have a certain anti-bird effect." Moreover, I need to save a fence wall and live alone, so I don't feel safe without a fence. ”

Even if there was no cover, Xia Qing didn't plan to use the bird repellent agent of the ninth territory. Because it was a chemical agent, Xia Qing still wanted to keep the seeds, how dare he let the chemical agents touch the corn seeds.

Not only her, but the other lords also thought so.

Before natural disasters, chemical synthesis agents were indeed indispensable for agricultural cultivation. However, in the aftermath of natural disasters, the use of synthetic chemicals has been shown to increase the probability of crop evolution and pollute the soil.

No matter why Li Si has been committed to this research, Xia Qing does not plan to participate in it, and use his own food and land to save data for Li Si.

Assistant Xiao Liu didn't negotiate a business and went offline. Concord Qingwei began to talk about business, "Everyone, listened to last night's agricultural knowledge broadcast, and heard the introduction of the corn harvester, right?" ”

"I hear you. Brother Qing got the harvester, what kind of one? "Zhao Ze, who hasn't grabbed the walkie-talkie for several days, is finally online.

Xia Qing also listened to the agricultural knowledge radio last night and learned that there are two kinds of large corn harvesters, one is called a grain harvester, and the other is called a stick harvester. As the name suggests, the former is harvested with corn kernels, and the latter is the cob.

These two harvesters have different requirements for the maturity of corn when they are used.

The grain harvester needs the corn cob to be fully ripe, otherwise part of the corn kernel will be broken during mechanical pelleting.

After evolution, the tyrannical elements and destructive microorganisms in the atmosphere of the Blue Star will cause the broken corn kernels to develop mildew in just a few days.

This machine is not suitable because after the corn is harvested in the territory, the field is prepared for wheat planting. If you wait until the corn kernel is firm enough to use a grain harvester, you have missed the best time to plant wheat.

The cob harvester does not need the corn to be fully mature, and it can be used now, but it only plays the role of crushing the straw and picking the cob, and there is little corn in the territory, so there is no need to use this agricultural machinery at all.

Not only is it not used in the territory, but the planting center in the safe zone harvests corn by hand in order to save resources.

Xia Qing felt that Kuang Qingwei would not get these two harvesters, because there was definitely no one to buy or rent.

Sure enough, what Cong Qingwei said was not these two, "What I got was not a large harvester, but a corn thresher driven by a motor." ”

"After two days of peeling and drying the corn, you can use a thresher to remove the kernels from the core, and then dry them for another 1 to 3 days, and the corn kernels can be bagged and preserved. In other words, with a thresher, the time for drying corn can be shortened to less than five days. ”

Xia Qing was excited, this is really attractive.

Cong Qingwei quoted, "The thresher I got is a new model developed by Hui Er Base, which can remove 2,000 catties of corn in one hour." If you buy it, you will have 1500 points, if you rent it, you will have 20 points an hour, and if you rent it, I will send a worker to help with threshing. ”

This kind of machine is only used once a year, and it is more suitable to rent than to buy.

Xia Qing was the first to sign up, "I'll spend an hour at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." ”

Cong Qingwei, who received the business, was very happy, "Okay, I'll send the machine to the sister at 9:45 under the station sign." ”

After the other lords also signed up to rent a thresher, everyone began to discuss how to prevent birds when drying corn kernels.

Zhang San, who has never participated in this kind of discussion, went online, "My cat catching birds is very efficient and can take on this task." I don't charge for it, but all the birds I catch go to the cats. Except for Territory 3, all other realms are fine. ”

When Xia Qing heard this, the sadness had flowed into a river.
