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

Chapter 83 A false alarm

From that day on, flocks of ducks appeared in the rice fields.

The number of ducks released per acre of land is controlled at 20 to 30. This number is strictly calculated and can not only fertilize the land and control insects, but also will not damage the crops.

Ducks are also raised in the experimental fields (rice fields). The breeding team's on-duty personnel will help look after one or two ducks during the day. Engineers Wen and Luo mainly stay in the fields during the day.

Although the two had no experience before, they knew that the ducks in the team were indeed growing well.

In just a few months, the ducklings are almost as big as adult ducks.

The ducks and hens in Fang Wei's family are mainly raised for laying eggs. Now individuals are not allowed to raise them on a large scale, and he is no exception.

So, he put more effort into [Poultry House No. 2] and didn't worry too much about the chickens and ducks at home. They were free-range anyway, and they would find food on their own. He only needed to feed them once in the morning and once in the evening.

In addition to the poultry house becoming busy, the composting yard is also busy.

During the growth process of rice, it needs to be fertilized from time to time, and the amount of fertilizer used is not small.

After Zheng Xianfa talked with Qi Feng once, he transferred the other party to transport fertilizer. It was called "carrying manure" in the past, but now there is a new means of transportation, and he needs to push a cart back and forth every day.

But Qi Feng is not a member of the [composting site] and is still under the management of the team.

Now it is even more difficult for him to be lazy. His daily work is digitized. He has to pull a certain number of trucks. It is impossible for him to just follow others.

Fang Wei met the other person several times when he went to the [composting site] to check the production progress, but neither of them greeted each other.

But he could feel that Qi Feng seemed full of hostility towards him.

Fang Wei didn't care. He didn't need everyone to say good things about him, and he didn't need to deal with everyone.

The breeding team's work was in order, and the duck farming and composting work were also on track, so he gradually had more free time.

early morning.

Fang Wei carried his gun and trekked through mountains and rivers to the [picking area].

This place is deep in the mountains and forests, rarely visited by people, but there is a large area of tea oil trees.

Fang Wei had long ago designated this area as a "picking area," encompassing all tea trees, large and small. He hadn't had time before, so today he happened to come over to check things out.

Because the interval was relatively long, he could clearly feel that the tea oil trees were more vibrant.

"The seeds will set earlier and can be picked in mid-to-late August. We expect to harvest more than the tea oil trees in our team's plot, as the quality of the trees is better."

The vegetation in the picking area is not very dense, but the tea oil trees are growing well.

Fang Wei looked around carefully and used the "identification" skill to obtain a lot of useful information.

These days, it is normal for every household to be short of meat and oil. If the output of tea oil can be increased, it will definitely be a great thing for the members.

But the mountains here are high and the roads are long, so how to transport the tea seeds back is still a problem.

Of course, he planned to improve the wild tea oil trees, and his original intention was to transplant them and gradually replace the tea oil trees in the team.

The main methods of planting tea oil trees include sowing, cutting, grafting, etc. Sowing is the most convenient, and cutting will have better results.

Let’s wait and see.

The wild forest didn't need his watering, and it was hard to find water in this area. So Fang Wei rested for a while, ate something, drank some water, and then set off to return.

The round trip alone took more than 6 hours.

For others, it would take at least 8 hours to go back and forth.

It’s so fucking far!

"Third brother, you are finally back. The captain has been looking for you everywhere."

After returning home and taking a sip of tea, Fang Ping hurried in.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon, so Fang Wei went straight to the team headquarters.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

"Little scholar, come here and take a look at this."

When he walked into the team headquarters, Zheng Xianfa saw Fang Wei and waved to him.

Fang Wei walked over and saw that it was a notice from the county, criticizing the First Production Team of Sanliping Brigade of Hongqi Commune for encroaching on national forest land.

"How brave of them! But, Captain, you came to me just to show me this thing?"

Fang Weiyi read it word for word. The production team openly destroyed the country's forest land and reclaimed terraced fields, and was punished as a result.

The matter is so simple and can be understood at a glance. He just can't figure out what Zheng Xianfa's intention is?
"Yes, I just want you to see this. Little scholar, do you know why they do this? Isn't it because they have little land and can't get enough food?

So, can you please pay more attention and stop being such a hands-off boss? I'm really worried when you're nowhere to be seen all day long."

Zheng Xianfa used this incident to subtly warn Fang Wei.

The team had an easier time this year, wasn't it because the other side had developed the [Nanguang No. 1]? He had placed all his bets on Fang Wei, and if anything went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain it to anyone.

"Captain, you're worried too much! Don't be so nervous. I know what's going on and I guarantee nothing will go wrong."

Fang Wei thought that he had been discovered farming in the valley, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

He could feel the pressure from Zheng Xianfa, but there was no need to scare himself.

During this period, he often wandered around the experimental fields and the fields. Everything was going well, and a bumper summer harvest was foreseeable.

So he quickly comforted Zheng Xianfa and made a promise with a pat on his chest.

"Just know what's going on! Okay, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Remember, if anything goes wrong in the fields or the experimental fields, it won't end well for either of us."

Seeing the other party's stubborn attitude, Zheng Xianfa didn't bother to say anything more and directly kicked Fang Wei out. In fact, he still wanted to believe Fang Wei in his heart.

During dinner, Fang Ping asked, "What did the captain want to see you about?"

Fang Wei smiled and said, "He's worried about whether the summer harvest can reach the expected yield. People, when they worry too much, are bound to get a little irritable."

"Third brother, don't pay attention to him. He's just like that. He's a pretty good person."

Fang Ping shook his head. He couldn't understand the pressure Zheng Xianfa was under, but he also felt that he was worried about the entire production team.

But it seems like I'm worrying too much.

In fact, this was the case. As the rice in the field grew better and better, Zheng Xianfa's anger indeed subsided a lot.

Fang Wei gave several lectures to the members specifically on field management, and also asked Zheng Hu and others to come on stage to share their experiences.

In fact, there is no big difference between planting [Nan Guang No. 1] and planting other varieties.

Time flies.

In addition to hanging around the team, Fang Wei also went to the valley from time to time to take care of Huangdou.

After 50 days of growth, the soybeans are mature and can be harvested.

He and his older brother, using the same method as ants moving a house, ultimately brought back 417 kilograms of soybeans. This yield per mu was quite impressive, but it was also close to the production limit.

[Harvest crops, points +417]

Total points: 1009

[Please note that the existing soybean varieties are about to reach the upper limit of yield per mu, which is 500-550 kilograms per mu]

The increase in yield is of course a good thing, but the bad news is that this variety of soybeans is about to reach its yield limit per mu.

Fang Wei was already used to this routine, so he wasn't too disappointed.

Because soybeans are also planted in 5 mu (slope) of experimental field, and they belong to the same generation as the soybeans planted in the valley, there is no need to keep too many seeds.

The 5 acres of sloping land were designated as a "planting area" from the beginning, and like other experimental fields, they were temporary in nature.

But even if it is temporary land, the attribute bonus is 35%.

He planned to sell 400 kilograms of soybeans out of 200 kilograms and keep some of the money.

There is no need to sell such a small amount of beans to the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative is very low. If you take it to the market and sell it, you can get 2 yuan per catty.

As a result, before he could go to the market, Jiang Yufen came to his door.

"Sister Yufen, you want to buy tea oil, but I can't help you. I don't have any meat or game, but I do have some soybeans. How much do you want?"

Jiang Yufen came to ask Fang Wei for help. As soon as she opened her mouth, she told him what she wanted to buy, including meat, tea oil, soybeans, etc.

Fang Wei couldn't get anything else, but he did have soybeans.

"How much do I want? I'm telling you, even if you have 100 jin or 200 jin, I'll take it."

Jiang Yufen definitely didn't come here on her own behalf. There are many people in her family and relatives, and these things are not enough to be divided up.

Fang Wei thought about it and sold 50 kilograms of soybeans to the other party for 100 yuan.

It is not appropriate to sell so many soybeans to one person, so he and his elder brother and sister-in-law will take the remaining soybeans to the market in batches to sell.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than being targeted by others.

When Guo Yongqing came to him, he had less than 40 kilograms of soybeans left to sell.

"Third brother, if you have something good in the future, please ask someone to pass on a message to me, so that others don't take advantage of it all."

The reason why Guo Yongqing hasn't come is not because his family has become "rich", but because he has been on a business trip for a while.

As a result, I arrived too late and had to take all the remaining 30 kilograms of soybeans.

"Uncle Guo, I remember this."

Fang Wei smiled and nodded. Through these few interactions, he felt that Guo Yongqing was a good person. He was very generous and didn't have many troubles.

After Guo Yongqing left, Fang Wei sorted out the recent income from selling soybeans and gave half of it to his elder brother, which was 200 yuan.

Fang Ping didn't want to take advantage of his third brother, so he only took 100 yuan.

Others say that the eldest son of the Fang family is very honest, but in fact he is a smart man.

Fang Wei then took out 50 kilograms of soybeans and handed them to Tian Guihua. These soybeans were what the family usually ate, whether stewed or ground into tofu. In short, they couldn't harm the health of the family.

50 kilograms of soybeans can last for a long time.

morning.

Fang Wei went around the fields and saw the ducks were already flapping their wings in the rice fields.

The 500 ducks looked no different from adult ducks, which surprised Engineer Luo and Engineer Wen. They both said that the duck breed sent by the commune was of good quality.

These ducks are not only large in size, but are also good at eating insects.

Now [Poultry House No. 2] consumes very little feed every day, but the ducks are growing very fast, and some of them can be sold in the fall.
