Chapter 430 "Compassion to Farmers"

Chapter 430 "Compassion to Farmers"

The duo was very curious about the scorpion, so grandma asked them to take a wide bamboo slice to shovel the yellow mud, and hold a small bamboo knife in the other hand to repair the teeth.

After everything was done, grandma asked everyone to work together to move the things aside, and then began to clean up the wind.

When moving the basket, Zongba and Yutou were startled: "Wow! This thing is still so heavy!"

Grandma laughed and said, "You feel heavy at this time? You won't know what is heavy until you push the zipper!"

Fengjiu is a relatively high degree of automation of agricultural tools, the main function is blowing grain, blowing rice.

The whole body is made of wood, one person is tall, one or two meters long, and sixty to seventy centimeters wide.

On the top is a large bucket mouth for feeding, with an open mouth and a thin neck. One end is a round abdominal cavity with a built-in shaking fan, and there are several downward outlets in staggered positions under the other end. .

Its limbs stand upright downwards, the purpose is to make it stand firm as a mountain.

The rocking fan is made of pig iron as a shaft, with six or eight wooden blades and a handle outside.When in use, shake the handle by hand to stir the fan to generate wind.

Li Junge's windshield has been around for a long time, and after brushing it, the four handles are covered with pulp.

Oiled the iron shaft of the crank handle and moved it to the side. The two boys, Zongba and Taro, began to feel tired, and said to grandma: "Grandma, are we done with our preparations?"

Grandma looked at the newly vacated open dam, and said with a smile: "It's early! Next, open the dam!"

The duo put their hands on their foreheads: "This is too much preparation work..."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Intensive farming, the grains are returned to the warehouse. After one year of open dam use, there will be some gaps, and these gaps will be filled with mud to prevent the grains from falling in. Your attitude is not good. Let me teach you a lesson." A poem, recite it with me, the day of hoeing at noon..."

So the two idiots were fooled by Li Junge into reciting the song "Compassion for the Farmers" and they took a rest.

After explaining and memorizing the song "Compassion for the Peasants", the two boys were brainwashed, and followed Li Junge's body as if they had been beaten to death.

After padding the open dam, we need to prepare straw hats, sacks, poles, baskets, rakes, carts... and many other tools.

They also need to prepare clothes and pants for the group of five, and they will definitely not be able to go to the fields with their outfits.

When everything was ready, Li Junge moved out the whetstone stool and began to sharpen the sickle.

Grandma is going to prepare herbs and make herbal tea tomorrow.

After some procedures, the two boys couldn't straighten their waists: "Hey, hey! This hasn't started yet! I'm going to be exhausted!"

At this time, Aunt Bai came over with her two younger sisters, and Zongba and Yutou rolled their eyes: "What a coincidence, you came here as soon as we finished our work!"

Grandma brought out the dinner, and everyone was ready to eat dinner.

A Yin came back with the children, and the children were overjoyed when they saw the group of five: "Brother Zongba! Brother Taro! Let's go swimming after dinner, the water play center is so much fun!"

Zongba and Yutou smiled wryly: "No, we're all going to be exhausted, let's do it tomorrow, let's go swimming again tomorrow!"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Don't worry! I will be more tired tomorrow!"

Drive the children away, call the group of five over, and teach them how to use a sickle, it's not fun to be cut by this thing.

In fact, in one sentence, keep the edge of the knife level, but it is easier said than done. There is a special angle between the handle of the sickle and the blade. To keep the blade level, the handle must maintain an angle. If you move, you will be biased.

The five-person group practiced for a while, and Li Junge was at the side to point out and correct them at any time. After everything was settled, everyone began to wash their hands and eat.

After dinner, the group of five was still pestered by the children to go to the water playground. Li Junge picked up a basket of lychees and went to see Mama Ni with Ayin.

In the big shed under the terraced fields, Mama Ni and the ten-member team from the Miao Village are familiarizing themselves with the small agricultural machinery under the guidance of the technicians from the agricultural materials company.

This set of harvesters is different from ordinary harvesters. It was developed by Wu Zhiqiu, his uncle, some old crops in Lijiagou and Miao Village, and researchers from the Agricultural University.

Different from the ones on the market, although this agricultural machine is crawler-type, there are two more pontoons below it, which can be operated in paddy fields without water.

Because it is used in the mountains, in order to reduce the volume, the function is as simple as possible, and it is only used for harvesting.

As for threshing and crushing rice stalks, these will be done on other agricultural machinery placed on the winch platform.

But this has already surprised Mother Ni and the others. This thing is light and convenient, and it can be lifted by two people.

Looking at the track of the hoist leading directly to the top of the mountain, Mama Ni said: "Pi Wa, when can we install this on the mountain? It will be more convenient if it is added."

Li Junge looked at the windlass and said, "This is really difficult, not because of the technical difficulty, but because the Miao Village terraces are composed of multiple hillsides. If you want to install this, you have to get one for each ridge, and the cost is not small."

A veteran of the same company also said to Mother Ni: "Nini, don't make things difficult for Piwa. Just this machine for cutting rice, plus threshing and cutting grass, will be of great help. I wouldn’t have dared to think about it last year!”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Actually, it's not impossible to do it. The main thing is that the input and output must be proportional, that is, as the saying goes, you need to make money. In fact, you can first find one or two hillsides with large terraces. As for the small ones I can’t take care of it, either it’s still manual, or it can only be replaced by other crops, but crops that are more expensive than Wujin blood rice per unit area, I’m afraid it’s really hard to find..."

The heads of other people in the Miao village were shaking and snoring, what are you kidding, Wujin blood rice is so expensive now!Especially the seeds given by Piwa this year, the yield has increased by [-]% compared to previous years!The yield per mu is zero, plus the fish under the water, this is the golden rice bowl!

Plant this!What's the point of being tired, haven't you come here for so many years?

In fact, Mother Ni just mentioned it casually, but she still had the small thought of showing off her son-in-law's ability in her heart. After listening to Li Junge's serious explanation, she said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, it's pretty good as it is now!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "By the way, I have also found a good market for Shi Kang raised by Grandpa Yu. Two hundred adult frogs a week weigh more than half a catty. Can Grandpa Yu's frog farm supply it?"

Mother Ni was taken aback: "Two hundred frogs a week? One thousand frogs a month. This is to round up Grandpa's frog farm?"

Li Junge said: "Don't worry, two hundred head a week is enough to go out. We in Lijiagou need some more."

Mama Ni said: "That means you can't kill [-] frogs a year? We haven't even asked about the frog farm. It's just for your grandpa to exercise his limbs. How much does it cost?"

Li Junge didn't dare to say this number in public, but just laughed: "Well, Professor Ding's guarantee is achievable."

Mother Ni was overjoyed: "Oh, that really didn't stop your grandfather from taking such good care of those Shi Kangs. The old man has to get up several times a night! Even the thrush and cockfighting are less caring."

Ayin said: "Grandma, how are you learning how to operate agricultural machinery?"

Mother Ni said: "It's almost there, tomorrow I will find a piece of land at the foot of the mountain to practice first..."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Then don't touch the piece with the sign on it, a few foreigners are gearing up to harvest rice by hand!"

Ni's mother laughed badly: "Oh! Isn't this coming all the way to seek guilt? What do you think?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "This is called life experience. If you have learned it all, then you should rest earlier. Everyone will share this basket of lychees. We will start working hard tomorrow."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Junge drove the Raptor, pulled the group of five back to have breakfast, and then moved things into the car.

The children asked excitedly: "Uncle Erpi, do you want to release the water? Can we catch fish?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "You guys are so beautiful, you go to the ancestral hall to study after dinner! School is about to start, have you finished your homework? This year the water on the mountain will not be released, and the fish will not be caught until next year."

After changing into clothes for doing farm work, the two sisters couldn't see it anymore.When the straw hat was buttoned up again, no matter how beautiful the girl was, she turned into two big girls from the countryside.

Zongba and taro are still too hot, so I don’t want to change into long trousers, so I still wear denim shorts.

Li Junge taught earnestly, slapped his inner thigh with the slap, and said, "Baogu pokes the face, and rice pokes the crotch! Do you want to rub each other's parts with medicine tonight?"

Zongba and Yutou looked at each other, shivered involuntarily, turned around and rushed back to the house to change their pants.

After changing his pants and coming out, Zongba and Yutou were about to leave carrying Fengyu one after the other.

Grandma couldn't help laughing: "Why are you carrying that thing? It's for blowing rice! It won't be used for a few days!"

Li Junge carried the tripping bucket, and the others packed up other things, and they all walked to the terraced fields at the head of the village together.

The group of five is considered a small celebrity in the village, and many villagers greeted them along the way.

"Hey! Dumplings, are you here? Hahaha why are you dressed like this? This is going to harvest rice!"

"It's better to be Aunt Bai! This is why I can't get tanned!"

"Taro! You are reincarnated as a turtle dung god? Last year, the rice harvest in the terraced fields was [-]% higher!"

"That's right! Let's roll around again on the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year this year...hahahaha..."

"Oh, the two elder sisters are here too! What did the fourth ancestor think? My younger sister in Lijiagou has long since stopped going to the fields to harvest rice..."

They are all in the local dialect, which sounds very friendly. Except for the two sisters, the other three in the group of five don't quite understand it, so they know how silly they are.

The strangest thing is the tourists. What happened to these five foreigners?Why are fellow villagers more familiar with them than us?
Driven by curiosity, several tourists also followed the raptor to the village.

When they came to the village, several people jumped out of the car, took their things out of the car, and saw the heavy purple-black rice ears in the experimental field, and they all cheered: "Wow! There are so many!"

Li Junge put his hand on his forehead: "Look at what kind of field you are planting? It's crooked, this time I'm really going to be poked in the hip..."

Mother Ni and the others also arrived, in the pickup truck driven by Wu Zhiqiu. They put all the small agricultural machinery on the hoist frame, and then the two of them carried a harvester and found a field to start working.
