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

Chapter 69 Duck Commander

The notice issued by the commune was very vague, requiring each brigade to arrange at least one production team to plant [Nan Guang No. 200], and the standard was no less than acres.

There is no strict requirement as to whether one production team can plant 200 acres or several production teams can plant 200 acres together.

These captains are all smart people. How could they make life difficult for their members?
"I understand! But it's best not to divide up all the food. The team should keep the lion's share. I suggest everyone get 500 kilograms. The rest can be exchanged with other units for piglets, farm machinery, tools, etc."

The total number of people in the second team, including men, women, young and old, is about 150. If each person is given 500 kilograms of rice, the total amount is 75000 kilograms.

The rice yield is about 7%, which means that each person in the team can get 350 kilograms of rice.

Fang Wei felt that they couldn't distribute too much at once, otherwise not only would the members' mentality change, but other production teams would also become jealous.

"That's fine too, it's a long-term solution."

Zheng Xianfa glanced at Fang Weiyi and was surprised that this young man was so thoughtful.

He immediately called over several team leaders, and everyone quickly reached a consensus to add 500 kilograms of rice to each person's rations.

With the additional 500 kilograms of rice, plus the rations distributed previously, everyone will have more than enough food for the next year.

Fang Wei did not participate in the subsequent events because he was too lazy to worry about it.

In fact, he knew very well that Zheng Xianfa was training him to be the next production team leader, but he had no ambition to do so and could only disappoint others.

morning.

Fang Wei went to the barn to check on the harvest of [Nongken 58] and found that 5 kilograms of rice were harvested from the 2745 mu experimental field.

After screening, 2000 kilograms of seeds were retained, and the remaining 745 kilograms of japonica rice were awarded to the breeding team.

As the biggest contributor, Fang Wei took 145 kilograms, and the remaining 600 kilograms were distributed by Zheng Hu.

"Third brother, what are you going to plant next on your private plot of land?"

It was the slack season again, and Fang Ping saw that his third brother's land was vacant, so he asked about it.

"We have enough vegetables at home, why don't we just plant corn?"

There is no need to worry about food rations from this year to next year, so Fang Wei plans to open up a new track.

The south is not the main producing area of corn, but corn is a highly adaptable crop and can be grown from south to north.

When he thought of the taste of sweet potato porridge, he would rather drink barley porridge.

Eating too much sweet potato will cause stomach acid and bloating. Anyone who has eaten it knows this.

He had some corn seeds at home, and it was quick to plant one mu of land, so he finished it quickly by himself.

Once the sweet potatoes in the valley are harvested, we will be completely idle until the spring plowing next year.

night.

After Fang Wei finished the lecture to Zheng Hu and others, everyone left one after another, but Zheng Hu, Deng Yuanen and five others stayed.

Learning is not something that can be done overnight and requires perseverance. Fortunately, the members of the breeding group have adapted to the current pace of life.

It was not too late at this time. Seeing that some of his friends were reluctant to leave, Fang Wei went to make a pot of tea and put some fried peanuts on the table.

Everyone ate peanuts and drank tea, chatting idly.

"Third brother, the captain has started looking for people to build a [birdhouse]. It looks like you'll be the 'Duck Commander' next year."

Zheng Hu revealed a piece of news, saying that the team was planning to build a poultry house, apparently in preparation for raising ducks in large quantities next year.

"I'll ask the team for two experienced people to raise the ducks. We still have to continue tending to the experimental fields. Next year, I plan to cultivate the third generation of the Nanguang No. 1 rice variety, so we have a lot of work to do."

Fang Wei had already planned it out. He only needed to guide the duck-raising matters himself and leave the specific work to others.

Next spring, the experimental field will continue to plant [Nan Guang No. 1] indica rice.

As for the promotion of [Nongken 58] japonica rice, it may not be possible next year, so we will see when the time comes.

However, both types of rice are about to reach their upper yield limit per mu, and there is no need to continue cultivating them after planting them for one more season at most.

"Third brother, the team still has dozens of acres of dry land. Can we plant more peanuts?"

The locals love peanuts, but the team grows very few of them. This is partly due to a lack of farmland, but also mainly because the yield is low, so it would be better to plant some higher-yielding crops.

Zheng Hu knew that the captain valued Fang Wei very much, so he smiled and offered an idea.

"The current peanut varieties are not good. The yield and oil yield are low. I will think of a solution later."

Fang Wei has some peanut seeds in his hand, which have been cultivated for a generation, so these seeds can also be seen as the first generation of seeds of the new variety.

If you want to cultivate the second generation of peanut seeds, you will have to wait until next year.

In fact, he still thought that growing soybeans was okay, but he didn't mention it because he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.

For the next period of time, Fang Wei was very free.

The team is looking for someone to build a poultry house, and is also preparing to purchase new farm tools and machinery, as well as a new batch of piglets.

The team is not short of money this year. The grain reserves of every household have soared, and there is also plenty of feed.

Therefore, the conditions for raising more pigs are in place, and members can also have some meat to eat during festivals.

Fang Wei has been craving meat lately, but the bacon at home is almost finished, so he plans to go to the mountains to get some game.

The traps in the mountains haven't been used for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to clean them up again.

early morning.

After getting up, Fang Wei went to his eldest brother's house. Tian Guihua was busy making breakfast for Taotao before dawn.

"Good morning, little brother."

"Sister-in-law, I'm going into the mountains. Please get me some food and some dry food for lunch."

Fang Wei and Tian Guihua didn't need to be polite and just said whatever they wanted to say.

Tian Guihua nodded and continued to work.

After dinner, she packed two rice balls, a few slices of bacon and some pickles for Fang Wei.

Fang Wei left home with a gun on his back. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Zheng Hu, Deng Yuanen and five others.

"Third brother, are you going into the mountains to hunt? What a coincidence, we've agreed to go rabbit hunting, how about joining us?"

Zheng Hu and others also brought weapons, and they were quite happy to meet Fang Wei at this time.

Fang Wei nodded and said, "Let them go together. They can't go that far anyway. I'd better go to the [hunting area] alone."

The group went up the mountain and after walking for more than an hour, they found a place to set the trap.

Fang Wei gave Zheng Hu and the others some instructions, asking them to wait patiently, and then he went deep into the mountains alone.

It was almost noon when he arrived at the [hunting area].

He was very busy some time ago and had no time to check here. When he came here this time, he found that most of the traps had been destroyed.

There were also two missing traps. I didn't know if someone accidentally came and picked them up, or if they had trapped the prey and were taken away by the prey.

"No wonder there's been no harvest for so long. It turns out all these traps are ineffective."

Fang Wei smiled and didn't take it seriously.

He doesn't make a living by hunting. He gets some game just to improve his life and doesn't care much about gains and losses.

He then rearranged the traps, collected the remaining traps, and placed them in the center of the hunting area.

After finishing these things, he sat down to eat and drink some water.

After eating and drinking his fill, he found a tree hole to rest and wait to see if any prey fell into the trap.
