Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 163: Love the new and dislike the old, those who should be eliminated should be eliminated
But the second team is pretty good. During the holidays, in addition to distributing pork to everyone, they also grind some tofu to share with everyone.

This year, the ducks have also started to be raised in the rice fields. Together with the newly hatched ducklings, there are nearly 2500 ducks in the poultry house.

The team took out 200 ducks and distributed them to everyone, ensuring that every household could get at least one duck.

【Total points: 90077 points.】

There are 189 pigs left in the pig farm, and nearly 2300 ducks in the poultry house.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went home with the things they had received, and their elder sister was already cooking rice dumplings.

The little guy was lying in the stroller. When he saw his parents coming back, he smiled with his little mouth wide open.

Fang Wei washed his hands, then carried the little guy outside to bask in the sun.

"Captain, you can hold a baby too? Is Lotus here?"

At this time, Tie Yanhong came over from the opposite side and felt very curious when she saw Fang Wei holding the child.

Because I haven't seen it before.

"Lotus is at home, you can go in by yourself."

Fang Wei smiled at her and didn't ask her why she was looking for a lotus flower. He let Tie Yanhong go in directly.

He walked to the school with his child in his arms and happened to meet Cai Xiaoping.

"Captain, is this your child?"

"Yes, my son. Teacher Cai, have you all gone to get the meat?"

"Yes, there's pork, duck, and tofu. Thank you, Captain Fang. We were really embarrassed."

Things were distributed within the team, and even the eight people receiving education got some, so naturally the infirmary and the school also got some.

This kind of welfare expenditure does not need to be shared with other production teams, and it can be regarded as a small token of appreciation from the second team.

The two chatted for a few words and then passed each other.

Fang Wei took a walk before going home. When he got home, lunch was ready.

Today is Dragon Boat Festival, and Pan Lianhua misses Grandpa very much. Mainly because the children are too young, otherwise the whole family would have gone to the village to celebrate the festival.

night.

Fang Wei called Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun over, and Fang Ping also came. The four of them sat together, drinking and chatting until midnight.

Taoist Sun has been treating patients in the infirmary recently, and Zhao Baocheng has learned a lot from him.

Now his reputation is gradually growing, and even members of other communes come to him for medical treatment, willing to spend more money.

"Third brother, the team planted a lot of medicinal herbs this year. I took a look and I'm afraid it will take several years to harvest. Why don't you do something quick and easy?"

"In the short term, we can live well thanks to our breeding advantages, so there is no need to focus on immediate profits.

Once our economic forests and forest-based economy develop, even if we lose the advantage of rice seeds, the team will not fall back into poverty."

Speaking of the current situation in the team, there are both joys and sorrows.

But overall, the development momentum is good and the future is promising.

"Oh, it's so late, let's go back."

They were so happy chatting that they forgot about time. Finally, Fang Wei sent Guan Chongyang and Sun Daoren back before going home to sleep.

the next day.

Fang Wei and his elder brother Fang Ping went into the mountains together. Since they had marked the area beforehand, they were very efficient in picking herbs.

Some perennial herbs are usually hard to find, but Fang Wei can find them growing in patches.

Both of them only picked a part of each variety of herbs. Picking them to extinction is not advisable, and they would not do that.

After returning home, Fang Wei selected some rare varieties and took them to the forestry area for transplanting the next day.

The rest was processed and temporarily stored.

For a period of time afterwards, the two brothers would go into the mountains to collect herbs whenever they had time, and eventually sold most of them to purchasing stations.

Because some of the herbs were precious medicinal materials, this batch of herbs was sold for a total of 1800 yuan. Fang Wei was shocked. He had underestimated the profit here before.

Fang Wei took 1000 yuan and gave Fang Ping 800 yuan.

"Brother, do you feel better now? Don't worry, there are plenty of ways to make money, just take your time."

Fang Wei was just trying out his skills this time, and he found that due to the added effect of the attributes, the growth rate of the mountain herbs was greatly accelerated.

Herbs that used to take five years to mature can now be harvested in just under three years.

And those annual herbs, like leeks, will grow again after being cut.

He consciously collected various herbal samples and transplanted many herbs that could only be found deep in the mountains, greatly enriching the variety of herbs under the forest.

"Third brother, take some time to go into the mountains and pick some more herbs. They will be useful to Taoist Sun."

Fang Ping put the money away. He did see a way to make money.

However, he is not a greedy person and he is not hesitant to make contributions when necessary.

So, after asking Sun Zhaodong, the two brothers went into the mountains several more times to collect herbs, thus enriching the medicine cabinet in the infirmary.

Basically, the common herbs needed by the clinic can be found in the mountains. Only when they are hard to find or grow in special geographical environments do they need to go out and buy them.

Although the medical room is small, it has solved the basic medical needs of its members since its establishment and has received unanimous praise from the general public.

Next, Fang Ping plunged into the experimental field and no longer cared about other things.

The rice in the experimental fields and large fields has entered the end of the fruiting period and the harvest is imminent.

The new hybrid rice has already made its mark. Even though the seedlings are planted at the same time, they mature earlier than other varieties of rice.

Fang Wei personally led people to harvest this batch of hybrid rice, while Fang Ping led people to harvest the sterile line.

In the end, Fang Wei concluded that the new hybrid rice had been successfully cultivated, with an output of 1310 kilograms per mu, breaking the record again.

Zheng Xianfa and Wei Guanghua rushed over after hearing the news, both of them were very excited.

"Director Zheng, Secretary Wei, come to my room for lunch at noon so you can taste our newly harvested Nanguang No. 3 rice."

Fang Wei was in high spirits. Everyone worked until noon. He dragged Zheng Xianfa and Wei Guanghua home, and asked his sister to cook new rice, which was just named "Nanguang No. 3".

The three of them sat down to drink tea, and Pan Lianhua helped her sister with work in the kitchen.

It didn't take long before four dishes and a soup were served on the table.

Pan Lianhua served them a few dishes and a large bowl of white rice to each of them.

Zheng Xianfa and Wei Guanghua both ate slowly, savoring the food thoroughly. Smiles spread across their faces. "It tastes similar to the Nanguang No. 2, but it's even more fragrant. It has a unique, refreshing aroma. Very good. Congratulations, young scholar!"

Zheng Xianfa was the first to give an evaluation. He believed that the new rice has surpassed the Nanguang No. 2 in all aspects.

Wei Guanghua also thought so. He looked at Fang Wei with a strange look, as if he saw a monster.

How long has it been since [Nanguang-2] was launched? Now even [Nanguang-3] has been launched, and all aspects of its data indicators have greatly improved.

In fact, each production team was somewhat jealous of the benefits brought by the breeding of the second team.

Many people have tried to cultivate new rice varieties, but without exception, all have ended in failure.

"Captain Fang, this is truly a great joyous occasion. Director Zheng, should we report this to the county?"

"Yes, I need to report it. When I get back, I'll call Director Tang and arrange a time to report to the leader in person."

One of them is the brigade secretary and the other is the director of the commune. The achievements of the second team are also due to their contributions.

After dinner, Zheng Xianfa and Wei Guanghua left in a hurry.

"Third brother, the [Nanguang No. 3] has just been cultivated. Can the production be increased in the future?"

During the meal, Pan Lianhua and Wang Zhuyun didn't interrupt the men's conversation. After the guests left, they were both curious about the yield limit of the new rice variety.

They are not city girls who have never done housework, and they care a lot about this kind of thing.

"There should still be some room for growth, but it's hard to say how much it will be. We'll let the facts speak for themselves when the time comes."

Fang Wei was very happy today and became more talkative.

Cultivating new rice varieties and significantly increasing rice production are good things worth celebrating under any circumstances.

Moreover, according to the spirit of the last meeting, the main theme now is "grasping GM and promoting production", and his achievements will naturally be praised by all parties.

He may not care about fame and fortune, but he doesn't mind having another layer of protection on himself.

Of course, the [Nanguang No. 3] hybrid rice is still in the successful trial stage, and there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done. It is still a long way from large-scale promotion.

After Tang Ze received the news, he personally visited the second team.

Fang Wei hadn't seen the other person for a long time, and he was shocked when they met this time.

Tang Ze, who used to look young and strong, now has gray hair and wrinkles on his forehead, making him look much older than his actual age.

It can be seen that the other party has not had an easy time in recent years. Excessive thinking can easily accelerate aging.

Tang Ze inspected the work of Team 2 and even tasted some rice made from the Nanguang No. 3 rice. Upon returning, he submitted a report to the district, hoping for support from higher authorities for hybrid rice breeding.

Next, Team 2 welcomed the summer harvest.

This season is the busiest time of the year. Harvesting and planting are a race against time.

The team leader, young and old, was busy, and even Taotao came back from school to help. The school had very little teaching content during this period, and just in time for the summer harvest, the teachers would take the students to the countryside to support the "double harvest" work, which was considered a social practice activity for the students.

The rural students went back to their homes, while the city students went to Qianjin Commune under the guidance of their teacher.

Early in the morning.

Three big pots were set up outside the team headquarters, and the second team's "big pot meal" made its debut again.

The members came here with their families, helped to set up the tables, chairs and benches, and then went to line up for food.

Today's breakfast includes pork soup, cornmeal steamed buns, salt duck eggs and cold dishes. There is enough staple food, and only when you are full will you have the energy to work.

In order to ensure food for the next few days, the team specially killed a pig.

[Pigs are produced, points +305, total points: 90382 points.]

There are 188 pigs left on the farm.

This year the team added some new farm tools, among which the rice thresher is the most eye-catching.

There were certainly no advanced combine harvesters at the moment. Rice threshers were either pedal-powered, diesel-powered, or electric-powered. Fang Wei had personally verified that, in the end, the human-powered thresher was the most practical.

The rice thresher needs at least two strong laborers plus several half-laborers to operate.

Strong laborers pedal to drive the machine, and semi-laborers pass the handles. Everyone works together to quickly thresh the rice and collect it directly from the fields.

The most feared thing during the rice harvesting process is rain. If the rice cannot be dried in time, it will easily become moldy and deteriorate.

Now that we have rice threshers, we don’t have to carry the rice straw back, which saves time and effort.

three days later.

The team's harvesting work was completed, the rice was threshed, and it was quickly dried while the weather was good.

晾晒好了之后就是称重，300亩【农垦58】稻谷的产量为225000斤，平均亩产750斤。150亩【南光二号】杂交水稻的产量为165000斤，平均亩产1100斤。

[Harvest crops, points +165000]

Total points: 480382.

The yield of [Nanguang No. 1100] has reached its limit, with a very stable yield of kilograms per mu, and can be promoted on a larger scale.

Wu Maosheng stood with the members of the breeding team and was once again stunned by the rice yield of Team 2! The yield of the previous [Nanguang No. 3] and the current [Nanguang No. 2] hybrid rice had exceeded his expectations.

This level of output cannot be achieved by agricultural research institutions in the provincial capital. I really don’t know how these young people achieved it.

Many people say that Fang Wei is Wu Maosheng’s student, but the problem is, how can he teach others something that he himself doesn’t know?
The same was true for several other people who came to receive education. They had no idea that the current rice yield per mu was over 1,000 kilograms. They even suspected that they were too out of touch with the news.

In fact, it is not their fault. Although the rice seeds produced by Fang Wei are very good, their influence is limited to this county. At most, they have some fame in the surrounding counties.

The biggest problem is that the path he has taken cannot be replicated by others.

The second team's output is limited, which means that rice seeds cannot be supplied in large quantities, such as to the entire region or the entire province, let alone other provinces.

This is also the reason why mainstream newspapers have not widely publicized it so far.

Family matters are their own business, which is why Fang Wei is collaborating with Qinghe County to develop a widely applicable rice variety. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, hybrid rice research in Qinghe County is currently at a standstill.

Later, the communes also completed the summer harvest.

After summarizing the data, the county sent Fang Wei a notice stating that the average per-acre yield of the large-scale planting of [Nanguang No. 953] hybrid rice reached kilograms.

Using the second-grade [Nan Guang No. 900] rice seeds for planting, the yield per mu is close to kilograms.

Based on this data, Fang Wei developed a seed plan for late rice.

“For late rice production, I plan to plant 400 mu of [Nanguang No. 50] rice seeds and another mu of [Nanguang No. ] rice seeds.

The remaining 10 acres of experimental fields will continue to cultivate the NG-032 sterile line and carry out other experiments.

I need to clarify here that we will significantly reduce the planting of [Nanguang No. 58] and [Nongken ] rice varieties, and may even completely cease their cultivation."
