Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 51 The Reservoir Is Dry
After the autumn harvest, the rapeseed seedlings in the dry land are almost ten centimeters deep.At this time, the whole family of Zhang Tao's family was mobilized to rectify the rice fields and dig ditches and pits.Several other families in the bay who promised to grow rapeseed also came to Zhang Tao's house to help, and after learning the experience by the way, they could also plant it in their own paddy fields.

"Your Xiaotao knows a lot. Not only is he good at reading, but he is also good at doing things." The old village head took out his dry tobacco pole, and said to Zhang Tao's grandfather with emotion while serving shredded tobacco. Zhang Tao's grandfather is also helping now.

"At that time, we were all busy on our own at this age, and he was nothing." Grandpa Zhang Tao said with a smile while smoking a cigarette, but the look of complacency in his eyes could not be concealed, and he looked at Zhang Tao talking with satisfaction. operate.

Planting rapeseed is difficult at the beginning without any guidance or knowing how to operate it, but it is actually very simple after you really understand it.Divide a paddy field into several pieces according to the same width, dig a drainage ditch about [-] to [-] cm wide and high in the middle, and put the dug out soil directly on the soil beds on both sides.

After the ditch is dug, small pits are dug on the soil bed according to the row spacing and spacing. Basically, it is almost done with a hoe, and then the weeds on the soil bed are slightly hoeed, and the rapeseed seedlings are directly inserted and fixed with soil. The roots are just fine.

If you are more careful, turn over the paddy field, and then divide the soil into pieces to dig holes. In that way, the growth of rapeseed will be better, but it is too labor-intensive and time-consuming.

After the rape seedlings really grow, start to fertilize. It doesn’t matter if you put some urea or farmyard manure in each pit, it’s all right, just like planting radishes.At other times, you don’t need to deal with it like this, even the pesticides are saved, just weed a little and wait for the next year’s harvest.

After the ten or so households in Zhangjiawan planted all the rapeseed, the rest of the brigade did not respond. Even the captains of other production teams did not talk about a few of them. Therefore, according to the statistics, there are twelve production teams in the village. As long as Zhangjiawan completed the task, it was still overfulfilled, and the faces of the cadres of the brigade were all black.

At this time, the captains of the other production teams also felt quite humiliated, and were scolded by the village secretary.It's just that there is only one female captain in the whole brigade, and the others are big men. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they are embarrassed to express their dissatisfaction to Zhang Tao's mother, but they are all slandering in their hearts.

They had seen the rapeseed planting in Zhangjiawan, so they just randomly planted the rapeseed in the paddy field and it was over.They are all good at farming. In their concept, this kind of rape planting is completely for the sake of face. After finishing the task, how can there be any harvest? It is estimated that it will be a joke by then, and it will also harm the villagers.

However, the development of the matter did not seem to be as they expected. After more than a month, all the rapeseed in the paddy fields grew very well, and they were all green and looked very good.At this time, some people began to regret it. If they knew that growing rapeseed was so simple, they should have agreed to try to grow some.

It's just that most people still don't take it seriously. They don't know how to harvest this thing after planting it. I heard that it can extract oil, but can the extracted oil be edible?In addition, the winter in southern Shonan is cold and humid. At this time, the paddy fields are often flooded, and the rapeseed may be drowned by water.

And it will snow in winter, and this rape is not a freeze-resistant vegetable such as cabbage and radish, and it may freeze to death.These have to wait for time to verify, but Zhang Tao knows that people in the countryside are actually very practical, and if they are directly asked to do some good things without guidance or something, they will definitely not accept them and will resist them.

Originally, they couldn't earn much money from farming for a year, and they would definitely not do it if they were tossed around.But if someone takes the lead, and then what they grow has practical effects, they will be very willing to do it without fines.So all this will change next spring, and not only Zhangjiawan, but other villagers in the entire brigade will be willing to grow rapeseed.

For Zhang Tao's family, growing rapeseed is just a small matter. The teal ducks they raise have already started to lay eggs during the autumn harvest, and so have the chickens.Newly grown chickens and ducks lay very small eggs at the beginning. Whether this kind of eggs or duck eggs are good, they are not easy to sell or cannot be sold, so their family eats eggs every day during this period of time, and eats them for every meal. Egg.

Boiled poached eggs, beaten eggs and fried eggs, and steamed eggs are served to them in different ways every day. After eating for more than a week, the three brothers and sisters are really tired of eating them. They almost want to smell the aroma of eggs. to the point of going.Zhang Tao is the one who persisted for the longest time, because their chickens and ducks are all free-range, and the eggs they lay are particularly delicious, but they can't bear to eat every day.

But at this time, those eggs have basically become normal size and can be sold outside.And Zhang Tao's chickens can also be sold, and the chickens sold are castrated roosters.In Zhang Tao's family, common people raise chickens like this.Except for a few particularly good roosters for breeding, the rest will be eunuched. Such roosters can grow bigger and sell better.

However, the chickens of Zhang Tao’s family were not sold in the market at all, and the monkey chatted casually with his workers, saying that someone in their village raised a lot of chickens and ducks, and the people in the mine would often follow them when needed. The monkeys came to buy a few back, as did the eggs and duck eggs. Except for a small amount sold to nearby villagers, most of them were consumed by the people in the mine.

The state-run coal mine has several mining areas, and people in many mining areas communicate with each other. After monkeys and others in this mining area buy too much, people in other mining areas will know.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Tao's chickens were almost sold out, and his family reaped several thousand yuan. Adding the egg money, it was almost five thousand.This is not counting the fish in the reservoir and the more than 20 pigs in the pigpen, which can be sold by the end of the year.

At this time, people in Zhangjiawan began to envy Zhang Tao's family. When Zhang Tao's mother contracted the reservoir in the team, everyone thought Zhang Cuihua was a bit stupid. Only now did they realize that she had a good eye and had already set her sights on the reservoir. It is convenient to raise poultry and livestock, and the annual income is enough to contract the reservoir for several years.

But at this time, Zhang Tao's family's folk customs are not bad, and the folks in the village don't have any pink eye disease or anything like that.Regarding Zhang Tao's family earning money, people in the bay would only say that Zhang Tao's mother has vision and ability, and they are full of envy.The most common one is "The Zhang family's ancestral grave is smoking!"

But after a few years, the folk customs around here have become weird. Everything is focused on money, and there are pink eyes, and they don't want to see others making money.Sometimes other people’s farming is either putting medicine in other people’s reservoirs, or stealing other people’s fish, chickens and ducks, or deliberately destroying them.

In fact, this situation is not limited to Zhang Tao and others. This is almost the case in the whole society after a few years.Because the leader called us to look at money, and the special years have distorted some people's hearts, the whole society is changing at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.

Those who were mobilized by Zhang Tao's mother to grow rapeseed saw the changes in Zhang Tao's family, and the rapeseed in the paddy field grew better and better.His confidence in the rapeseed he planted has also grown, and all the money for the rapeseed was handed over to Zhang Tao's mother.

Zhang Cuihua was very happy that these people could pay the money, while Zhang Tao talked about it.The Long March has just started. When my mother makes a sound in the bay, the whole village will follow suit. Then the life of my village tyrant will become more real.

When the family started selling chickens, Zhang Tao's mother bought a vegetable oil press and a water pump from the city, which cost more than a thousand yuan.The oil press is installed in their house in the bay, where it is easy to get in and out, and there is enough space. It is prepared for oil extraction of rapeseed in the coming year.

Then hired a few laborers from the bay, together with Zhang Tao's aunt and husband and wife, began to renovate the reservoir.At this time, due to the dry weather and the lack of water in the surrounding paddy fields, more than half of the water in the reservoir has dried up. It is the best time to renovate the reservoir.

The first is to divide the reservoir into five parts, which was planned when the reservoir was contracted, and then the surrounding area of ​​the reservoir needs to be repaired, which is more conducive to future reservoir breeding.Dividing the reservoir into five parts is a big project. First, piles of trees must be piled according to the pre-planned size. Start filling with soil.

After filling a reservoir, the isolated reservoir was immediately pumped with a water pump. At this time, all the people in the bay, including the old captain, suddenly realized.It turned out that Zhang Tao's mother actually had this idea, so that the water in the reservoir itself would not be lost after the reservoir was dried up, so it was considered that the water in the reservoir had not been released, and the people around had no opinion.

In fact, the more important surprise is yet to come, but it has not yet appeared at this time.The reservoir is divided into five parts, and the middle part is the big surprise, because the sunken place is there, but that place will not be drained until the end.After the water in the four corners is drained, the harvest is not small, and it is more than enough to earn back the money contracted for the reservoir.

Because the silt in the reservoir had to be cleared out, and all of it was filled on the surrounding embankments, a lot of loach and eels were caught, and a single corner was sold for more than 2000 yuan.And Zhang Tao's mother is also very good at life. Every piece of fish brought up from the reservoir will be shared with the people in the bay, and the old man will give more.

Then the families of several cadres in the brigade and Wang Zhongqiu's family will also send some. These are necessary for living in the countryside. If their families are more powerful, it doesn't matter whether they do it or not.However, Zhang Tao's mother's current behavior is still very popular, and the people around her praise her very much, and she is ashamed to show it if she is a little bit unhappy.
