Fengxian Jiangshan

Northeast rice in later generations is rich in nutrients and rich in flavor, and is famous all over the world. However, during the Republic of China, the people in Northeast China mainly did not grow rice.The staple food in Northeast China is sorghum rice. Compared with rice, sorghum is less delicate and easier to grow. However, the yield of sorghum is low and the taste is poor, far inferior to rice.

Zhang Tinglan noticed this problem a long time ago, and has been thinking about promoting rice, but it is not so easy to grow rice. First of all, to grow rice, there must be well-developed farmland water conservancy facilities and sufficient water sources. It is not enough to just scatter the seeds into the ground, but it has to go through a very tedious process.

The temperature in the Northeast is relatively low. If you want to shorten the growth cycle of rice, you must first raise the seedlings in a greenhouse. Every year, the seedlings are raised around the beginning of April. In about 20 days, the rice seedlings grow to a height of more than ten centimeters. It's almost the same time, so I can move outside to plant rice seedlings.

Moreover, before raising seedlings, seeds need to be soaked and germinated. Each process has temperature and time requirements. If you want to figure out all these things, you can't do it without years of experience.Before Zhang Tinglan traveled to this time and space, she was also from a farming family. She worked with adults a few times when she was young, but she basically didn't touch these things when she went to school.

Just some time ago, Zhang Tinglan managed to sort out the planting process by relying on memory, and set up a special greenhouse in the manor outside the city, but it is a pity that there is no cheap and easy-to-use plastic film, so the relatively expensive Of course, Zhang Tinglan didn't have much time to take care of the glass, so he hired more than a dozen old farmers to help take care of it.

At this time, the preparation of the land had almost started, and Zhang Tinglan finally took some time to come over to tend these rice seedlings.After Zhang Xueliang heard about it, he was also very interested.Then he pulled his second brother Zhang Xueming and Feng Yong over to have a look.

Lao Zhang and Lao Feng decided the winner, and there was no obstacle in the communication between the younger generations in the family. Feng Yong and Zhang Xueliang had a good relationship, and now the relationship is more natural.In addition, the lecture hall is about to start. Zhang Tingshu and Wu Kaijie have also gone to Fengtian. They all know that Zhang Tinglan can make a fuss. Look at the excitement.

These Fengtian playboys have just entered the manor.After being targeted by the lord here, Liu Guang rushed over from a distance. After several months of careful feeding, Liu Guang's body became stronger and stronger, and his running speed became even more astonishing.Almost like a bolt of lightning, it rushed to Zhang Xueliang and the others in an instant.

Zhang Xueliang.Zhang Tingshu and the others knew that this horse was not easy to mess with.So they all hid far away, only Zhang Xueming saw that Liu Guang was beautiful, and wanted to touch it stupidly, how could Liu Guang let him take advantage of it, he immediately opened his mouth and bit.

Zhang Xueming hastily withdrew his hands, who knew that Liu Guang was faster.Stretching out his head suddenly, it happened to hit Zhang Xueming's chest, and Zhang Xueming was bumped into a squat immediately, and Zhang Tinglan just came out to meet them.Only then did Liu Guang run away triumphantly.

Zhang Xueliang pulled Zhang Xueming up, and said with a smile: "Second brother, get up quickly, that horse, like its owner, has already grown up, so it won't hurt you."

Zhang Xueming also got up at this time, patted the dirt on his body and said: "It's amazing, this guy took a lot of effort when he hit me, otherwise it will be miserable!"

After these guys came in, they looked around, Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, you still know how to enjoy, this manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, just looking at it makes people feel comfortable, there are dozens of acres of land, you If you want to plant flowers or trees, or build a tennis court, we can all come and play.”

"What are you thinking? My land is all good fertile land. It would be shameful to waste a little bit. I plan to turn one-third of it into a vegetable field, planting some eggplants, beans, peppers, potatoes and the like. Raise some chickens and ducks, and finally dig a big pond to raise fish, and plant fruit trees around it, so the dozens of members of our family will not have to buy anything in the future!"

"Zhuoyan, are you short of that money?" Zhang Xueliang asked in surprise.

"Vulgar, really vulgar!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "What you eat is not food, but the process and fun. This is called returning to basics."

People like Zhang Xueliang looked at the intoxicated Zhang Tinglan and shook their heads. They really couldn't understand Zhang Tinglan's taste. Perhaps they would not understand the value of rural life until they saw the steel and concrete getting tired.

Right now, the manor is still basically bare, only a few old farmers are preparing the land, and there is nothing to see. They all came to the front of the greenhouse. There are also glass windows on the roof.

There is also a thick layer of grass curtains, which are spread on top of the glass at night to keep warm, but now they have been rolled aside to allow the sunlight to shine in better.Looking through the glass window, there are dense green seedlings inside, which immediately aroused the curiosity of these guys.

"Zhuoyan, this is rice seedlings." Feng Yong said with a smile: "I heard that rice is something that people in the south fiddle with. It's more realistic for us people in the Northeast to grow sorghum."

"That's nonsense. The black soil under our feet is the most fertile land for farming. What you plant will grow. And some people are already planting rice in the three eastern provinces."

"Who?"

"North Koreans, when I wiped out the rebels in southern Liaoning, I found a large number of Korean immigrants. They crossed the Yalu River and ran to our land, reclaimed and cultivated land, and they were planting rice. And they laughed at us! "

"Bastards! These Goryeo bastards stole our land and dare to laugh at us. It's almost fatal." Zhang Xueming suddenly became furious: "Brother Zhuoyan, don't you take care of the land reclamation? Take back their land and see if they return it to us." How can you be frightened?"

The refugees who came from North Korea were indeed the first group of people who planted rice in the Northeast. In her previous life, Zhang Tinglan still clearly remembered that the old man in the family said that they still learned the technology of planting rice from the North Koreans, and they had to give those sticks The good thing is that the customer is bullying the owner!

"Don't worry, when we all stabilize and the immigrants in the customs have come over, we will let the stick go back and forth."

Several people were not satisfied just looking outside, so they all followed Zhang Tinglan into the greenhouse.I saw that the ground of the greenhouse was covered with wooden rectangular grids, which were the so-called seedbeds, filled with tender green seedlings, which made these people very novel.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan called an old farmer and asked him to introduce the situation to everyone.

The old farmer's face was full of wind and frost, and there were ravines and ravines. He was a little scared when he saw these luxuriously dressed young masters, but when he mentioned raising seedlings, he regained his energy and said with a smile: "Generally, we will follow the method given by Zhang Shao. Come on, let’s build a greenhouse first. Then we selected a batch of the most plump rice seeds and put them in clear water to soak the seeds. It took about a week, and then we started germination, and the seeds came out in more than a day.”

While the old farmer was talking, the group of people listened with great interest: "The water temperature for soaking seeds should be cooler, but the temperature for germination should be much higher. According to the thermometer Zhang Shao gave me, it should be about [-] degrees. Wait until the seeds are soaked. After germination, keep lowering the temperature to make the buds stronger. Then it is time to make the seedbed, which must be flat, straight, and solid. The soil selected is also very particular. Mix in a lot of farmyard manure. Young master Zhang helped to buy a batch of fertilizer field powder, and they also have to be mixed in evenly."

The so-called fertilizer powder is actually chemical fertilizer, and there is no way to produce it in China at present. Zhang Tinglan bought some from Japan, just as a test.The so-called crops and flowers are all dependent on fertilizers.Many people in later generations despise pesticides and chemical fertilizers, thinking that they are harmful to health, and want to eat green and organic food.

If these people are thrown into the Republic of China, they will understand the importance of chemical fertilizers. If there is no large-scale use of chemical fertilizers, what people pursue is not to eat healthy and green, but to fill their stomachs.

Take the current Fengtian as an example, the yield of sorghum per acre of good land is only about one hundred catties. If rice is planted, the yield may be higher, but it is only two to three hundred catties, which is one-sixth of that of later generations. One, under such circumstances, the vast majority of ordinary people are struggling with life and death all their lives.

Once there is a disaster, it is very common for people to starve to death. At this time, people will definitely support chemical fertilizers crazily, but if they are healthy or not, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs first.

"After the soil is ready, spread it evenly in the seedbed, then flatten it and compact it, and make sure to water it thoroughly. We also made a seedling tray with reeds, filled it with a thin layer of soil, and put the seedling tray on the seedbed. First, spread the germinated seeds evenly on the seedling tray. Then it is time to control the temperature and water. At the beginning of watering, a layer of straw bags should be attached to prevent the water from washing away the soil!"

Listening to the old farmer's little introduction, Zhang Xueliang and his group's heads are a bit big. Farming is not as easy as imagined. This is just the process of raising seedlings. After the seedlings grow well, they have to plant them and take care of them all the way. It is not until the autumn harvest that the grain can be brought home. I am afraid that even the farmers themselves do not know how much sweat is involved.

The old farmer had almost finished his introduction, and then smiled at Zhang Tinglan and said, "Young Master Zhang, these rice seedlings are growing quite well, and our paddy fields are also ready. If we can really have a bumper harvest this year, we old guys are also thinking about the next year." Try it at home and see how it goes!"

The old farmer was still a little hesitant. After all, planting rice is also a highly technical labor, so he is stealing a lesson.Zhang Tinglan said with a nonchalant smile: "Not only do you want to grow it in your home, but also spread it on a wider scale. The yield of rice per mu is at least half or even double that of sorghum. That is to say, the same land can feed twice as many people. Population, this kind of good thing naturally needs to be learned by more people!” (To be continued..)

ps: It is really difficult to write about farming. Although the small one is from a farming family, there are inevitably omissions. Let’s take a look at it. In addition, it’s the beginning of the month, and it’s still a double monthly pass. I’m asking for a few.
