Chapter 5 The Difference Between Spring Wheat and Autumn Wheat
Zhang Di didn't think much about it, and desperately squeezed into the Linggu Hall, only to see that there were already more than a dozen queues here, and two immortal masters were sitting in front of them, and they were asking the teenagers in detail.
He didn't dare to look around, so he swept his eyes slightly, and picked a pair of more amiable people, an old and a young team, and lined up. He quietly hid his eyes, and felt that the kind-faced immortal master was easy to talk to, and maybe he would relax his conditions and hire him.
Quietly lined up in the line, carefully observing the assessment of the teenager in front of him, Zhang Di found that the proportion of passing the test was not large, usually the young immortal master would ask a few questions, and let the assessed teenager stretch out his hands.
He swept his eyes casually, and then waved his hand to send the person away, looking at the disapproving expression, it was obvious that he had not passed.
In this way, thirty percent were eliminated, and the remaining two percent were also sent away after asking a few questions.
Only less than fifty percent of the teenagers will be registered, and these fifty percent of the teenagers are undoubtedly not strong, shrewd and capable, and finally the old immortal master gave a few words, and instructed the young man to go inside, where there is a door that leads to nowhere to go.
As the distance got closer and closer, there were only three people in front of him, Zhang Di knew the situation of the assessment in front of him at a glance, and began to observe intently.
I saw that the young immortal master looked at the hands of the third-to-last person, those hands were white and pure, and there was not even a calloon, so he waved his hand and said, "Unqualified!
The boy shuddered when he heard this, and immediately burst into tears.
The young immortal master was greatly displeased, and with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, he pushed the young man several times in a row, and flew out of the lobby directly, startling everyone.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Di's heart moved, and his face was thoughtful.
The line shortened a little more, and the penultimate man walked up tremblingly, a peasant boy, born roughly.
After looking at this person's hands, the young immortal master nodded and asked, "How many seeds do you need to sow seeds in an acre of land?"
"Huh?" the boy was blinded.
"Unqualified!"
Hearing this question, Zhang Di secretly became concerned, and quickly did mental arithmetic, and when the surrounding teenagers were at a loss, he already had the answer.
The third-to-last person was a rich man, he stepped forward and stretched out his hands, only to see that although it was white, it was covered with calluses, and the man smiled and said, "Master Immortal, the little one is doing farm work at home." ”
The young immortal master stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of hoes and threw them in front of him, and said, "Okay! Then you can demonstrate how to hoe the ground." ”
The rich boy's face immediately turned white, and he picked up the hoe tremblingly, and when the hoe went down, it was slashed into his own feet, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Unqualified!" The young immortal master had a calm face, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, he sent the young man out of the gate, "Next!"
Zhang Di jumped all over, and finally it was his turn, and his heart began to beat wildly, and he walked up hard.
The young immortal master glanced at him and asked lightly, "Have you ever planted land before?"
"Yes, Immortal Master. Zhang Di replied respectfully, although he was extremely nervous, he tried his best to put on a calm appearance.
The young immortal master looked him up and down, frowned, and waved his hand directly: "Unqualified!
The teenagers waiting behind him glanced at each other, all showing contempt, and they all thought in their hearts: "Such a thin body, just like a chicken, is really eliminated!"
Zhang Di is in a hurry, if he is kicked out, it will really be over!
How can my father and mother hold their heads up in the village? Do they have to be laughed at by Shi Jian and Han Baobao's father? How can I keep my promise to my family?
In a hurry, he didn't think much about it, took the initiative to stretch out his hands to show the other party, and said busily: "Immortal Master, you...... You haven't looked at my palm yet, can you please read it and make a decision?"
Perhaps because he thought Zhang Di's actions were quite interesting, or maybe it was a positive attitude that infected the other party, the young immortal master decided to give him a chance, so he motioned for Zhang Di to sit on the chair in front of him and said, "Then stretch out your hand and show me." ”
Zhang Di hurriedly stretched out his hands, palms up, and didn't dare to move.
The young immortal master's gaze swept his palm, and saw that his fingers and the roots of his fingers were grinding thick calluses, obviously doing farm work on weekdays, he nodded and asked, "How do you usually farm the land?" ”
Zhang Di saw that there was a play, and his nervous mood eased slightly, but he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and according to the previous draft, he told the experience of farming on weekdays one by one: "Master Hui Xianshi, I am fourteen years old this year, and I have been farming with my father for five years. Planted millet, rice, bud rice...... The farm implements are well cooked, with hoes, shovels, ploughshares, ......"
He told the truth, his father did not let him touch the farm work because he was weak, on the contrary, the family farm work has not been less, this is to exercise his physique and hone his mind.
Zhang said for a while, the tension gradually calmed down, and he focused on introducing his experience and strengths in farming, never exaggerating, but acting in a clear manner, thanks to the fact that every time he finished reading a book before, the second uncle would assess the content of his reading, and exercised his ability to summarize and express.
This well-prepared self-description really made the young immortal master quite satisfied, compared to the other teenagers who were panicked, and their words were all upside down, it was naturally a difference between cloud and mud, which made him nod slightly while listening.
As for the old man on the side, the immortal master narrowed his eyes slightly, and kept staring at Zhang Di, who seemed to be quite concerned, and suddenly asked coldly: "How many seeds do you need to sow seeds in an acre of land? What is the difference between spring wheat and autumn wheat?"
Zhang Di had already prepared and replied unhurriedly: "Master Huixian, how much you sow an acre of land depends on soil fertility, variety, seed germination rate, sowing method and sowing density. Under normal circumstances, the sowing amount of buckwheat per mu is five to six catties, and the sowing amount of tartary buckwheat is three to four catties.
The sowing amount is large, the seedlings are too dense, the seedlings are poorly developed, the yield per plant is very low, and the yield per mu cannot be increased.
On the contrary, the sowing amount is small, the seedlings are too thin, the seedlings are well developed, and although the yield per plant is very high, the number of plants per mu is small, and the yield can not be improved.
As for the difference between spring wheat and autumn wheat......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Di seemed to recall something, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Spring wheat has a strong drought resistance, short plants and large ears, and a short growth period, which is suitable for spring sowing, but it is not as delicious as winter wheat flour." Winter wheat in the growth process of the ability to resist the cold is very strong, its seedlings can survive the winter, when spring comes, the seedlings divide quickly, squat to grow up, winter wheat grinding powder is very delicious. ”
It turned out that he remembered that his mother once used winter wheat to grind flour, and the steamed bun was white and soft, and it was very elastic when chewed.
Part of this agricultural knowledge was taught by his father and personal exploration, but a larger part came from his previous reading, and under the supervision of the second uncle, he reviewed the "Qi Min Yao Shu", so he answered the first word, and the surrounding teenagers were dumbfounded, and they all looked at him with awe.
However, Zhang Di was only fourteen years old after all, and he was not nervous when he said it, but after saying this, he became nervous again, and he couldn't help but blush, and looked at the two immortal masters worriedly, not knowing whether the answer was satisfactory.
