Chapter 18: Foothold (5)
Guo Dalu connected the bamboo pipes one by one with a rubber pipe, and then picked up a bucket to pour water into the bamboo pipe, and soon, water drops leaked out of the hole.
Guo Dalu carefully observed the leaking water, and whispered to himself: "The size of the infiltration should be proportional to the pressure, the hole can be smaller, the distance is too long will affect the pressure of the front and rear ends, but it doesn't matter, such a little change in water volume will not affect the growth of kudzu, I look at even if I use a small spoon to water, in a hurry, a spoon is poured, and the water is more or less." ”
What Guo Dalu is tossing is drip irrigation.
In the 21st century, the use of drip irrigation technology is the most awesome in Israel, where people are in the desert, using drip irrigation technology to grow a large number of crops.
Yongcheng City, where Guo Dalu is located, is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which originally did not use any drip irrigation technology.
Later, I don't know which leader had a big brain, saying that he wanted to introduce Israeli agricultural technology and engage in ecological agriculture, and invited Israeli experts to promote drip irrigation technology.
Drip irrigation technology ended up in rural Yongcheng without a problem, but Guo Dalu also used drip irrigation in ancient times.
Of course, authentic drip irrigation still needs a lot of supporting equipment, such as electronic valves, water pipes, pressure gauges, automatic control software, but what Chinese farmers are best at is to learn and use, Guo Dalu has seen, there are farmers who have no use for any supporting equipment, that is, to pierce a row of holes in the rubber long pipe, and put a set on the faucet, that is, drip irrigation.
Turning decay into magic -- no, it is turning the spring and snow into the people of the township, and the Chinese farmers are so awesome that they can't accept it.
Guo Dalu didn't have many rubber pipes in his hand to connect the bamboo pipes, and he only got drip irrigation for one acre of land, which had already exhausted him enough.
However, Guo Dalu did not want to apply drip irrigation on a large scale for the time being, and first tried it in a small area, and then it was too late to fully roll it out after success, otherwise, it would really cause his own nearly 100 acres of kudzu grass to be harvested, and the so-called "above" big landlords would definitely not spare themselves as a small tenant farmer.
Guo Dalu called Brother Hao'er and helped him carry the bamboo pipe to the kudzu grass, along the field, the bamboo pipe next to the kudzu grass, each hole was aimed at the root of the kudzu grass, and then connected one by one.
Brother Hao accompanied Guo Dalu to toss, his face was puzzled, and he wanted to ask several times, but he remembered his sister's advice to him.
When Brother Hao returned home with candy a few days ago, the eldest girl told him that several sisters in the family had eaten this sweet candy in their hearts, and they had put away the rest and were ready to exchange for some rice grain when they arrived at the market every Wednesday.
When Brother Hao heard this, he regretted that his intestines were blue, he couldn't help but be greedy at Guo Dalu's house, and ate three grains in one go, how much food can this be exchanged for. He hurriedly handed over all the rest of the sugar to the big girl.
The eldest girl pulled Brother Hao to the corner of the house and told him carefully: "Brother Hao, your life was saved by Brother Guo, and we Zhuang families can't say anything big, if Brother Guo has anything to tell in the future, you have to do it for him." ”
Brother Hao nodded again and again: "I know, our father and mother also said the same." ”
The eldest girl hesitated for a moment and bit her lip lightly: "There is one more thing, you must remember that no matter what strange things Brother Guo comes up with, you should not inquire around, let alone get to the bottom of it." ”
Brother Hao was already clever, and immediately understood the words of the big girl, and said in his heart, sister, you only know toffee and clothes, and you haven't seen the magical silk thread that killed the giant python, and nodded again and again: "I know." Sister, Brother Guo can live alone outside for more than 10 years, there must be some adventures, I won't inquire, I won't ask if I shouldn't ask, I won't say what I shouldn't say. ”
It was precisely because Brother Hao had this idea in his heart that he didn't ask much when he saw Guo Dalu connecting the bamboo pipe with a rubber pipe.
At first, he thought it was some kind of chicken intestines, pig intestines or something, but when Guo Dalu gave him a few rubber tubes and asked him to help connect the bamboo pipes, he pinched them with his hands and knew that they were definitely not chicken intestines.
Brother Hao couldn't hold back his curiosity and didn't ask a word, just helped Guo Dalu to get busy, and finally got all the droppers on one acre of land.
In order to avoid the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe and the amount of water irrigated too much because the distance is too long, Guo Dalu has set up several more irrigation outlets in the front and back, with this shoddy bamboo pipe system, if only one water inlet is set up, Guo Dalu pours a bucket of water into it, and the water in the bamboo pipe does not flow to the tail, and it has been flowing in the front section.
But even then, it's much easier than bending over and pouring spoonful by spoon.
Brother Hao looked at the bamboo pipes connected together, and vaguely saw that this seemed to be used for watering, but he couldn't bear it and didn't ask a word.
Brother Guo patted the soil in his hand, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother Hao, I see that there are large miscellaneous forests in the back mountain, why didn't our village think of cutting down miscellaneous trees and planting some apricots, peaches and other forests on the mountain, so that we can take the fruits to the market for some food?"
Brother Hao said with a little surprise: "This day the mountains and forests are all mastered, we cut some firewood, pick a few bamboos to make a basket or something, but no one pursues it, but this kind of forest is different, you have to cut down the original miscellaneous trees, burn the roots, in order to plant a new forest." This can't be done, no one has the courage to do this. ”
Guo Dalu quietly rolled his eyes, Damn, this big landlord "above" is too powerful, not only has patches of fertile land, but even the entire mountain is theirs!
Hey, I still underestimated the ancient big landlords, I used to read history textbooks, saying that some big aristocratic landlords have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, lakes, mountains and forests can't run away on horses, I didn't expect this to be true.
This really fulfills the saying that the rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand.
Guo Dalu nodded Brother Hao'er: "You took the stupid big ones into the mountains to hunt, and you were bold enough, the master on it didn't even let the villagers cut down the trees casually, and I guess they wouldn't agree to you hunting and eating meat." ”
Brother Hao smiled: "Isn't that extremely hungry?" If a tree is cut down in the mountains, it will leave stubble and roots, but if you hit a few small beasts, no one will find out. It's just that there are fierce wild creatures in the deep mountains, so the adults don't allow us to enter the mountains. ”
Guo Dalu said: "Do you mean that giant python? Good guy, that python is big enough, even in Hollywood movies--" He was quick for a while, Hollywood came out, and quickly closed his mouth.
Brother Hao didn't notice Guo Dalu's unintentional mistake, there was a faint fear on his face, which had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and he secretly swallowed saliva: "Alas, speaking of which, I was also careless." I always thought that the adults didn't let us into the mountains just to scare us, but I didn't expect that there were really fierce beasts like giant pythons in the mountains. In this way, my father told me that there is a monster in Fengshen Mountain, and it is also true. Fortunately, we met you, Brother Guo, that day, otherwise--" Brother Hao shook his head again and again, his heart palpitated, but also happy.
