Chapter 229 Build a greenhouse and raise seedlings!
"I heard that there are many saline-alkali lands in Nagada, Baichengzi. In the spring, people can sweep up the saline-alkali land seeping out of the land and sell it for money." Lao Cao raised his wet hands and rubbed them on his clothes. "We have a lot of water this spring, and the salt and alkali are not exposed, so there is no way to control it."

"Didn't I use water to soak out the alkali in the soil?" Sun Jianping pointed to the large pit in the distance used to store water, "I will get up early tomorrow and put water into the saline-alkali soil again, and let it soak for three days. Then open the gate below and pour water in. When the water evaporates, the alkali will remain at the bottom of the pit..."

"Did you think about it when you were building the canal?"

"That's for sure. If you don't remove the salt and alkali first in this kind of heavily saline-alkali land, you won't be able to grow anything!"

Lao Cao secretly gave a thumbs up, good boy, others take one step to see ten steps, but you are taking one step to see a hundred steps!
Even the alkaline flour in the ground is considered to be taken out to exchange for money!
Absolutely!

Without hesitation, Lao Cao and Sun Jianping drove straight to Nahe Farm early the next morning, and went to ask Director Zou for help.

The farm is also a busy scene. Tractors of all sizes drag rotary tillers back and forth, shuttling through the farm. The tractor drivers are all arrogant, pushing the accelerator to the highest level, and riding away in the thick smoke. , rushed out of the farm gate and headed straight for the fertile black land.

Lao Cao looked at the agricultural machinery as far as the eye could see with envy, and swallowed hard.

It looks so greedy!

When will our village be like this?
"That, that..."

When the two of them arrived at the door of the office building, they met Director Zou's secretary. The young man glanced at Lao Cao and said, "Our director thought you were too old to come. Come on and follow me upstairs." !”

"Good job!"

Lao Cao hurriedly stamped the mud on his shoes, followed him, and stepped carefully on the floor.

Field Director Zou also had muddy feet. He had just come back from the fields. When he saw Lao Cao and Sun Jianping coming, he hurriedly told them to sit down!

"Brother, why are you here? I was thinking that I would be here before the Qingming Festival. Look, it's already the end of April. Is it still too late to raise rice seedlings?"

Farm Chief Zou scolded, and Lao Cao raised his head timidly, "I just got some good rice seeds, so I'm here to ask for your help..."

"Where did you get the rice seeds?" Director Zou was immediately interested when he heard this. He thought that Lao Cao and the others could at most get some unhulled rice, pass it through a sieve twice and use it as seeds. Unexpectedly, the old man still Have some scientific awareness!
At least you know you need to use good seeds when planting!
rare!

"Harbin Academy of Agricultural Sciences made more than 100 kilograms."

"Did you get good seeds there? Oh my old brother, how many times have we been to the provincial capital, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences refused to give it..." Director Zou suddenly stood up with excitement and grabbed Lao Cao. hand, "What breed?"

"I can't tell you the specific variety. Anyway, people say it has a short stem and is resistant to lodging..." Lao Cao didn't expect that Director Zou would be so interested in rice seeds!
"Aren't you all planting rice flower-scented seeds?" Lao Cao thought of the grain seeds he obtained from their grain depot a while ago. That variety was really good. It smelled good even if it was placed in the warehouse!

"Well, we mainly produce special grains, but the yield of Daohuaxiang is too low. We are not thinking about getting something high-yield..." Chief Zou waved to the young man, "Go and call Lao Cui over."

After a while, Lao Cui came. The wounds on his face were almost healed, but there were still two scars, which squeezed his small eyes into slits, making him even uglier.

"Old Cui, you are not an outsider. After lunch, you can turn on the handrail, hook up the rake and go to Ermajia. Their new paddy field of 40 meters this year will not be damaged. , please help and worry more, and I will give you an extra allowance when you come back."

Lao Cui looked at Lao Cao, then at Sun Jianping, and the fire in his heart was rising!

Want me to work for them?
Director, what do you think?
If you don’t go, you won’t go even if you die!

"If you have any difficulties, just ask them. What do you mean by standing there and saying nothing?" Seeing him staring at his eyes and looking angry, Director Zou's face darkened, "Brother Cao has been my old brother for many years. , please let me know if you want to go, so I can arrange for others."

"Leader, let me go. How dare I not do the work you arranged!" Seeing that the leader's tone was a little unkind, Lao Cui hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I'll pack up the machines and set off after lunch!" "Okay, go ahead, be good. Come on, don’t embarrass our farm!”

Director Zou stood up and said, "Let's go, Brother Cao. Let's go to the cafeteria to make up for it."

"No, that's not good!"

Lao Cao said this, but his body had already followed Lao Cui for several steps.

This brother!

Director Zou couldn't help but smile, he was still so stingy and loved to take advantage!
After dinner, Director Zou personally went to the warehouse and allocated fifty meters of plastic sheeting for them. In this era, plastic sheeting was a rarity!

"Originally, you have planted so late this year. You go back and build a seedling shed to raise seedlings first to catch the frost. Otherwise, the frost will come before the rice is ready, and this year's work will be in vain..."

Field Manager Zou took Lao Cao's hand and was seductive. Lao Cao nodded. Field Manager Zou had no choice but to call Sun Jianping for a few more instructions. Sun Jianping nodded repeatedly. The technology of rice seedling cultivation, the book given by Secretary Yao, The brochure makes it very clear.

The only difference is the plastic sheet.

"Then hurry up and get ready. I hope you can have a good harvest this year!"

Director Zou had given Lao Cao and the others the greatest help within his authority. Lao Cui drove a walking tractor, followed the carriage, and ran towards the second horse stand with a dark face.

After arriving home, Sun Jianping immediately found birch poles and built a seedling shed in the open space of the team headquarters!

When the folks came back from farming, they were shocked to find that there was already a sky-blue greenhouse in the team headquarters!
Lao Cao, Sun Jianping, and Lao Chengtou were squatting on the ground, sifting the fertile black soil from the big manure pit. Seeing Wang Liansheng come in, Lao Cao waved to him and asked him to pull a piece of wood with a handsaw and nail a few wooden shelves and Wooden pallets come out.

"What are you doing with all this stuff?"

"You can do it if I ask you to do it, this ink mark!" Lao Cao glared. The "big project" he did today made his self-confidence extremely high!
Planting rice!

It has been almost a hundred years since the older generation broke into Guandong, and no one has ever grown this thing in Ermajia!
This can be considered a first for us!
"This day is not enough for you!"

Wang Liansheng pulled a hand saw, found two sections of poplar wood, and called Xu Jinshan. The two worked together to cut the wood into pieces of wood, and then nailed them into pallet shapes.

Lao Cao grabbed a shovel and poured the sifted soil in and compacted it. Sun Jianping grabbed the seeds and sprinkled them with a layer, then covered them with a layer of soil, poured water on them, placed them on the repaired wooden shelf, and waited for germination.

There was a pungent smell in the greenhouse, and by the time the twenty pallets were ready, it was already night!

"Hey, I forgot something!"

Lao Cao walked out of the greenhouse in a daze, slapped his thigh, and was busy planting rice. He actually forgot Lao Cui in the field!

"Hurry up and take a look!"

When Lao Cao, Sun Jianping, Wang Liansheng and others came to the saline-alkali land to take a look, they almost made their noses twist in anger!
　Plastic sheets have been around since the 1960s. They were blue and had a strong smell.
