Chapter 371: Sowing

After the farmland is ploughed, it is necessary to level the ground with a flat basket to make the ground in the same ridge basically level, so that the field will not have the phenomenon of fertilizer and water piling up to the low place, resulting in dry dry death and waterlogging death.

Of course, Xia Qing knew the importance of flat arable land, but she had no experience, so she began to sow seeds when the fields were leveled, and only when it was watering did she know where to go high and where to low.

Therefore, Xia Qing is the first time to water, according to the water level, according to the level of the field. But because the seedlings have already been planted, all that can be moved is the soil between the seedlings.

After the first crop was harvested, she adjusted the height again, but the adjustment was overdone and the height was reversed.

When the meeting of the alliance of lords was held, Xia Qing carefully asked how to level the ground, if he still had to rely on visual inspection, then he needed to find Zhong Tao and exchange his points for a level for construction.

Unexpectedly, Shi Qian introduced Xia Qing to an ancient agricultural tool used to level the land: the flat basket.

The shape of the flat basket is similar to the large iron rake that Xia Qing used to hold grass, but it is made of fine wicker with the thickness of a finger, and is specially used to level the land.

After Xia Qing went to the No. 10 territory to see the flat basket made by Shi Jia, he made one after returning to the territory, and today it will finally come in handy.

After the sheep boss pulled the plough and easily ploughed two and a half acres of land, Xia Qing fed it tender cabbage leaves and compressed rations, unloaded the plough stick and replaced it with a flat basket, and repeated the deep ploughed field three times with a flat basket.

After using the flat basket, Xia Qing felt comfortable looking at the farmland.

At half past two in the morning the next day, Xia Qing got up on time, soaked the rape and wheat seeds in unpolluted spring water with insecticides added to the temperature, and began to soak the seeds, before going out to guard the territory at night.

During this period of time, Xia Qing slept at eight o'clock and got up at two o'clock, and arranged shifts with Hu Zifeng's team to protect the agricultural machinery and construction team in the territory.

Xia Qing has to harvest crops, prepare for autumn ploughing at night, and say that he is not tired, of course it is false. Fortunately, the green light spinach seeds in the terraces are not yet ripe, and Xia Qing is filled with a special nutrient solution every day, and her body can still hold it.

The construction team will be able to connect the west and north walls of the territory today, and Xia Qing will be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

After the morning shift from three to six o'clock, Xia Qing had breakfast, and it was time to sow seeds.

Qi Fu and his family carried a wooden cocoon and came to the third territory.

This cocoon is different from the one Xia Qing saw in Qi Fu's territory last time, it was improved again by Shi Ji and Qi Fu, and there are three iron pipes at the lower end, and a ditch opener is installed under each iron pipe. The seeds enter the iron pipe through the bucket and fall into the soil ditch opened by the furrower.

Three iron pipes, that is, three ridges can be sown at a time, and the efficiency is three times that of a single pipe. Such a cocoon only sells for 30 points, and Xia Qing feels that the pricing is quite conscientious.

Qi Fu explained the reason why he brought his daughter-in-law together, "We have limited seeds, and we can't afford to waste them." Let your sister-in-law sow the seeds more evenly than directly with a cocoon. Qi Fule hehe, "Qing, you pull, I will support, let your sister-in-law sow seeds." ”

"It's hard work, sister-in-law." Of course, Xia Qing had no opinion, hung the drawstring of the cocoon on his shoulder, held the cocoon handle with both hands and stabilized it, and slowly walked forward according to the speed required by Qi Fu.

Qi Fu held the two handles to grasp the depth of the sowing, and Yuan Yan followed the side to put the seeds in the cocoon. The three of them walked from one end of the greenhouse to the other, and the three rows of wheat were sown.

Qi Fu put down the cocoon and carefully cut a small section of the ditch in the ground for Xia Qing to see. Xia Qing looked at the evenly arranged seeds in the soil and sighed, "This cocoon is a good thing, and my sister-in-law's hand is really stable." ”

Yuan Yan smiled, her face burned by the acid rain grew some flesh, and her complexion was much better, "It's you who pull steadily, and the cocoon is not swaying at all." ”

Qi Fu felt that Xia Qing had picked up all the big stones in the field, and the three ditch openers at the lower end of the cocoon would not be offset by the stones, so they could be so stable.

Although there is only one person in Xia Qing's territory, and there is little farmland to be cultivated, she is willing to work hard and use fertilizer. Now by comparison, Qi Fu found that the wheat grains of Xia Qing's first crop were fuller than those in his field.

If Xia Qing knew Qi Fu's thoughts, he would definitely tell him directly: This is the high-quality wheat seed I bought with a lot of money, so it looks fuller.

Qi Fu patted the soil on his hands, helped the cocoon up, and discussed with Xia Qing, "Now it looks dense, but only half of our wheat seeds can sprout, and when they grow, they are not dense." That's it, right? ”

"Okay." Pull up the cocoon and continue sowing.

Sowing is a very important part of farming, and it took the three of them a morning to sow two acres of yellow light wheat, half an acre of green light wheat and one acre of yellow light rape.

If the seeds are sown, Xia Qing's heart will be steady.

The three of them sat on the edge of the field to drink water and rest for a while, Yuan Yan asked, "Xia Qing, how many greenhouses do you plan to build?" ”

Xia Qing had already planned, "Build two, one for growing vegetables and one for raising chickens." I can grow enough vegetables to eat, but I can't keep myself busy. What about sister-in-law? ”

Yuan Yan replied, "I plan to leave a few workers in the territory for the winter and plant ten greenhouses." After the greenhouse is built, it will not be demolished, and it will be used to raise rice seedlings and vegetable seedlings in spring. ”

The price of vegetables in winter is definitely higher than it is now, and it doesn't hurt to have a variety of greenhouses. Xia Qing asked, "Sister-in-law, can you buy plastic film for your greenhouse?" I still have two extra pieces in my hand, and if you don't have enough, you can take them back and use them. ”

Xia Qing used ordinary green light spinach to exchange five pieces of thickened greenhouse plastic film with Li Si and Tang Huai, which was of better quality than the plastic film that Kuang Qingwei could get.

Xia Qing was willing to exchange it, of course Yuan Yan would not refuse, and discussed with her, "I'm short of money now, and I'll give you points after I sell the vegetables?" ”

Xia Qing nodded in response, and Qi Fu asked, "Xia Qing, when we get the greenhouse and fence ready, will we go to the evolution forest to walk around before it snows?" ”

Seeing the two allies looking at him, Xia Qing smiled, "Of course, let's go to the valley of Mountain Fifty to try our luck." ”

After Qi Fu and his family left with the cocoon, Xia Qing went to check the progress of the construction of the wall. The construction team is in the process of installing the last 500 metres of the northern perimeter wall, which will certainly be completed this afternoon at this rate.

Xia Qing's heart was happy, and after going to the barren grass and bushes under the big chun tree on the high slope, he discussed with the sheep boss who was supervising the work, "Boss, I've finished planting the seeds, let's go home for dinner?" ”

When the southern wall of the territory was built, the sheep boss was not interested after a few sneaky glances in the past, and he should eat and drink, and life went on as usual.

But when they found that the construction team drove their car to rumble up the North Barrier, and when the construction began, Boss Yang immediately called Xia Qing and asked her to block the big Tsubaki tree behind her with him, and put on a posture of preparing for battle.

There is still a distance of more than 200 meters from the big tsubaki tree to the north isolation zone, and there are dense wild grasses and shrubs blocking it, so the busy construction team did not realize that a powerful power evolution sheep has listed them as a target for attack, ready to fly them at any time.

This green light tree is an important source of food for the sheep boss, and Xia Qing understands that it wants to protect its food. He repeatedly assured it that the construction team would not touch its precious Tsubaki tree and would not come close. But the sheep boss is still not at ease, as long as the construction team comes, it will be staring here.

The construction team was still clanging next to it, and Xia Qing actually told it to go home for dinner. Don't talk about turning his head, the sheep boss didn't even want to give Xia Qing a look.
