Chapter 134: Good Luck, Great Harvest
Chapter 134: Good Luck, Great Harvest
early morning.
Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua got up early, exercised in the yard for a while, and started a new busy day.
The hybrid rice in their private plots was growing vigorously, entering harvest time a month early. Furthermore, the soybeans planted on their one-acre sloping land were ready for harvest, keeping Fang Wei and Fang Ping busy.
Fortunately, there was only one acre of land, and it was done in just two days.
One acre of private land was temporarily left vacant, and the one acre of sloping land was then used to plant peanuts.
The team planted peanuts on 40 mu of sloping land in the spring, and the peanuts are now ripe. Zheng Hu arranged for the harvest, and the entire second team seemed busy and orderly.
The final yield of soybeans on one acre of sloping land is 536 kilograms. The yield of peanuts on 40 acres of the team is 25430 kilograms, with an average yield of 635.75 kilograms per acre.
[Harvest crops, points +536]
[Harvest crops, points +25430]
Total points: 158622.
There is no major change in the per-acre yield of soybeans and peanuts. The slight change is that the yield is moving towards the top of the upper limit.
Fang Wei didn't pay much attention to peanuts and soybeans, but instead focused his attention on hybrid rice.
After drying and threshing, the rice yield per mu is 97.9 catties, which is equivalent to 979 catties per mu. The milled rice still tastes good and is delicious.
"It's done!"
This time, Fang Wei planted the second-grade rice variety [Nan Guang No. 2] in his private plot. Theoretically, hybrid rice cannot be saved for seeds.
Because the rice grown from the second-grade rice seeds will have serious trait separation, low yield and extremely poor taste, it is basically worthless to grow.
However, when the [Planting Area] was promoted to Level 10, it gained an additional attribute bonus, [Breeding Genetic Stability +1]. Fang Wei immediately concluded that the second-tier hybrid rice varieties could be planted with confidence.
Facts proved that his judgment was correct, which greatly facilitated the next step of hybrid rice breeding.
Next, Fang Wei asked Fang Ping to find some corners and plant some [Nan Guang No. 2] secondary rice seeds, which are the second generation of rice seeds, for verification.
He estimated that the second-grade rice seeds could not be used and were just going through the verification process.
"Third brother, the sow has given birth. There are 41 piglets in total this time, and they are all lively and energetic."
Fang Wei was busy with hybrid rice, and basically all the big and small matters in the team were left to Zheng Hu.
It was only when he met his uncle on the road that day that he learned that the pig farm had added new members, 41 more piglets.
"When did it happen?"
Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh. The sow giving birth was definitely a great thing for the production team.
"You were busy with what happened last week, weren't you? Hu Zi told me not to bother you, so I didn't tell you specifically."
"Let's go, let's take a look."
He then followed his uncle to the pig farm and counted the pigs with a smile. There were a total of 117 pigs in the pigpen, big and small.
Among them, there were 4 sows, 41 piglets and 72 adult pigs.
Fortunately, the [pig farm] was expanded in advance, otherwise it would be really crowded.
"Uncle Wu, please pick out 12 big fat pigs. I'll have Hu Zi take some people to sell them later."
Although the pig delivery mission was complete, Fang Wei decided to sell some of his "bargained pigs" as a contribution to national development. Why is there a rationed supply system and a supply-by-ticket system nowadays? Ultimately, it's due to low productivity and a shortage of supplies.
The next day.
Zheng Hu and others used a tractor to pull 12 live pigs to the commune.
[Pigs are produced, points +3120, total points: 161742 points.]
Twelve big fat pigs were sold for 12 yuan, with the purchase price equivalent to 1965.6 yuan per catty.
The purchasing station rewarded the team with some feed, as well as preferential treatment for purchasing affordable feed throughout the year.
[Pig Farm] There are 105 pigs left. We will distribute some meat to everyone during the Dragon Boat Festival and reward the members who are fighting in Yaojialing.
"Third brother, you are so lucky. I hate those guys so much. They forced you to do such a dangerous thing. They are so cruel."
Pan Lianhua was the last one to know about the dud incident. Fang Wei had not intended to tell her. Anyway, the incident had passed, and there was no need to make her worry.
But there were no secrets in the village. Many members knew about this, and word would naturally reach Pan Lianhua's ears.
When she heard about it, she came back furious and grabbed her gun to go talk to Zhang Yongli.
"Sister, it's all over. Zhang was also punished and sent from the city to the commune."
Fang Wei talked for a long time before he pulled Pan Lianhua.
In fact, Fang Wei felt a little scared when he thought about the bomb disposal afterwards. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have ended up in pieces.
The three of them were also risking their lives at that time. Fortunately, he was very lucky and finally completed the task without any danger.
"Third brother, you're lucky. If it were someone else, they might not be so lucky. You have to promise me that if you encounter such dangerous things in the future, don't fight like a fool. You have to remember that I'm still waiting for you at home."
Pan Lianhua then cried for a while, and after calming down, she fell into a deep sleep.
Fang Wei tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and sat in the main room for a while.
He now also believed in the concept of "luck", and on a thought, he simply upgraded the [main house] to level 10.
[Facility] → [Living Facilities] → [Main House]
【Facility Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)】
[Facility Attributes: Solid, Durable, Concentrated, Calming, and Prosperous to the Owner]
[Living in this building, all attributes increase by an additional 100%, luck +1]
Total points: 61742.
After the upgrade, Fang Wei checked the new information and couldn't help but feel a magical feeling.
Recently he has been saying how lucky he is. As a result, after the [Main House] was upgraded to level 10, something like [Luck +1] actually appeared.
It's very abstract, but seems very useful and hard to explain clearly.
Fang Wei felt that it was a good thing anyway. It could be understood as "smooth sailing" or "good luck in times of trouble." He couldn't help but feel more confident.
Time flies.
Everyone welcomed the Dragon Boat Festival in a busy atmosphere.
Fang Wei waved his hand and ordered the slaughter of five large fat pigs. Now that the team had more pigs, there was no need to be stingy. Let everyone eat as much meat as they wanted.
Previously, the [pig farm] selected four sows for breeding, and they are expected to give birth before the end of the year, and there will be dozens more piglets at that time.
[Pig farm] Sows are bred twice a year, once between May and June, and once between November and December.
[Pigs are produced, points +1330, total points: 63072 points.]
There are only 100 pigs left on the farm. "Third brother, do you see how everyone has changed? That's why they say people are born to eat meat. If they don't eat meat, they look listless."
Fang Wei and Zheng Hu were both present when the meat was being divided.
Zheng Hu has his own theory. Since he likes eating meat very much, he is very active every time the meat is distributed.
Fang Wei also felt that the members' mental outlook had undergone a tremendous change. This was certainly due to the improvement in living standards, but there was another important reason that could not be ignored, which was that everyone had hope.
"Captain Fang, thanks to you, we can eat meat again."
Members who received pork would pass in front of Fang Wei.
A simple sentence expressed the thoughts of the vast majority of people. They were grateful to Fang Wei, the leader, from the bottom of their hearts.
Whenever this happened, Fang Wei would smile and wave his hand without saying much.
noon.
Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua had dinner at their eldest brother's house. They cut some of the meat they were given and left it for Tian Guihua. After dinner, they took pork, soybeans and miscellaneous daily necessities and went to the Yao village.
Grandpa must be lonely living alone in the mountains, so they try to find time to spend with him during the holidays.
"Third brother, if you can't kill the snake, you must be careful about being bitten."
After three rounds of drinks, grandpa started talking about Zhang Yongli.
Grandpa had heard about what had happened and knew that Zhang Yongli had been punished, but he was very dissatisfied with the treatment. In his opinion, the conflict between the third brother and the other party had escalated to a life-and-death conflict, and he had to find an opportunity to kill Zhang Yongli.
"Let's talk about it later. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely not let Zhang go. Let's wait and see."
Fang Wei smiled, picked up the wine bowl, tilted his head back, and drank the whole bowl of wine.
He understood what Grandpa said, but some things require timing. When the time is right, everything will be solved.
"You're right to think that way. Being kind to others also depends on the person. Being a pushover all the time will only make others think you're easy to bully. Take Tang Ze from the county, for example. He's a good person, but he only knows how to smooth things over. He'll suffer greatly in the future."
Grandpa has his own philosophy of life, and Fang Wei took everything he said to heart.
He doesn't have to copy it exactly, but thinking about it more will definitely be of great benefit to him.
The next day.
After getting up, Fang Wei went to check out the tobacco plants growing in the village. The seeds were provided by Fang Wei, and they were growing exceptionally vigorously. He was right; the mountain was indeed suitable for growing this type of crop, and the economic benefits were expected to be good.
The rice in the terraced fields is also growing well. The village planted the third-generation rice seed from [Nongken 58] during the spring sowing season, and after the summer harvest, they can provide lower-grade rice seed to other production teams.
This source of income has now become the main source of income for the village, and even an exchange ratio of 1 to 5 is very profitable.
Later he went to take a look at the pig farm in the village.
"Son-in-law, what do you think of our pigs?"
Everyone in the village now calls Fang Wei uncle, and everyone is very polite to him.
"You want me to tell you the truth. In my opinion, your pigs are not well-raised. Don't worry, I'll take a closer look."
Fang Wei married Pan Lianhua, so Yao Village naturally became his second home.
He doesn't play tricks here and tells the truth.
The pig in front of him was thin and looked lifeless. He studied it for a long time and felt that it was a bad breed.
"Uncle, can you help us solve this problem?"
The pig farmer did not doubt Fang Wei's statement, but quickly asked him for a solution.
"Later, bring back a boar from the second team for breeding, and the breed will gradually improve."
The pigs raised by the second team have the attributes of the [pig farm], and their breeds have been improved long ago.
Breeding can naturally improve the breed of pigs in the village, which may be the most economical method at present. There is no need to worry about inbreeding. When breeding pigs, the second team will constantly replace the unrelated pigs.
In terms of breed, the pigs raised by the second team are definitely the best. Every time they submit live pigs, they are rated as level 1.
"Thank you, son-in-law. I'll be going down the mountain in the next two days. It's almost time to breed the pigs."
The man was overjoyed and kept expressing his gratitude to Fang Wei.
Fang Wei waved his hand and returned home.
"Third brother, how is it going? Is the production situation in the village all right?"
Pan Lianhua had just come back from washing clothes and asked Fang Wei with a smile when she saw him.
The two had an agreement before they got married that Fang Wei had to take time to help the village develop, and the people in the village would listen to him.
"It's pretty good, especially the flue-cured tobacco, which is very suitable for cultivation in the mountains. The rice is also growing well, with no problems found. The summer harvest will definitely be a bumper one."
Fang Wei did not mention the pig farming matter. It was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
Grandpa watched the two interacting with a smile, and then called Fang Wei over for tea.
Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua stayed in the Yao village for three days before returning to the village. They did not return empty-handed, but brought with them a cool mat, a new backpack, and some other bamboo utensils.
The bamboo products produced in the Yao village are unique, of very good quality and beautiful.
The first thing Fang Wei did after returning was to arrange the "double harvest work". The harvest and planting would begin soon. This year, the team had 20 fewer laborers, so some things needed to be arranged in advance.
"Third brother, our summer harvest is more than half a month earlier than others. I say there's no need to rush. We can finish it in a few more days."
"We'd better do it as soon as possible! We have tractors and rice transplanters. The hard part is harvesting the rice. We'll harvest the experimental fields two days later. Let's gather everyone to harvest the rice in the main fields first."
Fang Wei made the decision, and Zheng Hu said no more.
What follows is another very busy period. On the one hand, we have to prepare for the rice harvest, and on the other hand, we have to plow the soil, sow seeds, raise seedlings, transplant rice seedlings, etc.
Summer harvest and summer planting are closely connected, so try not to delay them if possible.
The team first harvested the third-generation rice seeds of [Nongken 120] from the 58 mu (approximately acres) of field, drying and threshing them. Then they harvested the second-generation rice seeds of [Nanguang No. ] from the experimental field. Only the last acre of experimental field remained, and Fang Ping led the breeding team to harvest it.
This acre of land is planted with various sterile plants, which are the treasures of the breeding team and are not allowed to be touched by others.
Fang Wei had been keeping an eye on the Nanguang II for the past few days, desperate to know the production figures. When the statistics came out, they immediately dazzled everyone.
[Nanguang No. 98604] The total yield of the second-generation rice seeds is 996 jin, and the yield per mu reaches jin, which is just a little bit short of exceeding jin per mu.
A yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu is an unattainable dream in this era. Apart from some satellite data, I have never heard of any place actually achieving the actual yield per mu.
"Third brother, you have accumulated great virtue!"
When the members heard the news, they all came to the barn, and Guan Chongyang was so excited that he burst into tears.
The yield per mu is 996 kilograms, which is basically kilograms when rounded off. This is of great significance and was something we could not even dream of before.
