Chapter 939 Planting Seedlings (2 in 1)
Today is a great day for the people of Qingque Tribe.
Because just today, after half a year of hard work, rice, a new food for everyone in the Qingque tribe, is finally going to be planted in the fields.
For rice, Han Cheng attaches great importance to it, because in his impression, rice is an extremely important staple food, and only wheat can compare with it.
As for millet, sorghum, corn, soybeans, etc., in his opinion, none of them can be called staple food. With rice and wheat as the two staple foods, it’s okay to eat some occasionally, but it’s a little annoying to eat too much. People can't eat it anymore.
Of course, in the absence of fully planted rice and wheat, the staple food of the tribe can only be millet.
At this time, the morning sun had already risen for more than a pole, and all the people of the Qingque tribe where Jinguan City was located, except for some who had something to do, were staying by the side of a paddy field opened up by them, watching intently. Their god sons had excitement and anticipation on their faces.
At this time, Han Cheng also became extremely solemn.
He rolled up his trousers, reaching above his knees, and hugged the sleeves above his arms as well.
After making such preparations, he, who was barefoot, picked up the stump beside him and got down to the ground.
There are neatly arranged seedlings inside the tree head.
This is the first time that the Qingque Tribe has planted rice artificially. Except for Han Cheng, who has seen some rice planting scenes, the rest of the people are extremely unfamiliar with it.
So Han Cheng, who was not even considered an apprentice in later generations, unexpectedly became a dealer in such a miraculous way.
At this time, the weather is still a little cold, the sun is shining on the body and it is warm, but you can't go into the water. When you go into the paddy field with your bare feet, you can feel a coolness coming from your feet and legs, and you can feel the coolness in the water. The fast speed spreads throughout the body.
But this kind of coldness is not the kind of biting coldness. Although it is not very pleasant, it is still within the range that people can bear.
Han Cheng didn't complain, because he knew that this was something he had to go through if he wanted to harvest in autumn.
Having been a human being in two lives, he has long since lost the fantasy he had when he was a child. He knows that if he wants to get something in this world, he must pay something.
After he entered the paddy field, a few small swimming fish flicked their tails and ran away quickly close to the bottom of the water.
Leave some little muddy water.
Standing here feeling the temperature of the water, getting used to it for a while, and carefully recalling his not-so-clear memories about transplanting rice seedlings, Han Chenggong began to work under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Qingque tribe.
With his hands, he picked up a few seedlings from the tree trunks beside him, put the roots down, and inserted them into the water-soaked paddy field.
In order not to disperse the seedlings and make it easier to plant them in the field, when Han Cheng took them with his hands, he took them directly from the roots instead of the upper leaves.
After inserting the first pinch of seedlings, Han Cheng picked up another pinch of seedlings from the tree trunk and planted them into the paddy field.
A pinch of seedlings ranges from three to five.
But this time compared with the previous one, Han Cheng seemed more hesitant.
This is mainly because he is not sure about the distance between two handfuls of seedlings in the same group.
After hesitating for a while, Han Cheng still inserted the bunch of seedlings, with a distance of about fifteen centimeters between them.
After inserting this line four pinches forward, Han Chengcai stopped the movement of planting rice seedlings forward, and started another line from the side of his feet and inserted forward after it was difficult for his arms to be long enough.
After a short thought, Han Cheng set the distance between the new line and the previous line at 30 centimeters.
Of course, this is just a rough estimate. In the process of transplanting rice seedlings, no one will use a ruler to compare the measurements. The problem of wider and narrower distances is not too big.
Han Cheng's arm length is within the range of normal human beings, he is not a heavenly genius like Uncle Liu Huang, who puts his hands on his knees and looks like a child fell on the ground, so he can only insert four lines this time.
As he continued to move and move backwards, four rows of emerald green seedlings swaying in the warm spring breeze remained in the paddy field in front of him.
The members of the Qingque tribe who were standing on the side watching and studying, after seeing these, some enlightenment rose in their hearts.
It turns out that this is rice transplanting, which doesn't look difficult at all.
This is the case with crop work. There is no particularly accurate standard. Generally, you only need to watch others do it a few times, and practice it yourself a few times, and you will be able to master it.
"See? This is transplanting rice seedlings, it's very easy. Now we all spread out, and ten people are in charge of a field for transplanting rice seedlings.
When transplanting rice seedlings, pay more attention to the distance. In the same row, the distance between every two pinches is 15 cm, and the distance between two adjacent rows is 30 cm.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the seedlings must be planted perfectly, but that when transplanting rice seedlings, they should be planted according to this standard as much as possible..."
After Han Cheng walked about ten meters away, he straightened up and said to the crowd standing on the edge of the field with a smile.
Everyone nodded to show that they were taught, and then, as Han Cheng said, they spread out with the seedlings that had been pulled out before, and a group of ten people entered a well-organized rice field, imitating Han Cheng's appearance here We start the first rice transplanting.
At the beginning, everyone felt unfamiliar with this matter, but after doing it for a while, there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
Don't be too happy to plant the seedlings one by one.
With the non-stop work of the people, greenery began to appear in the empty fields.
In the evening, people who planted seedlings with sore backs came out of the paddy fields, stood on the ridge of the rice fields, and looked at the rice seedlings floating slightly in the evening wind in the originally bare paddy fields. All the tiredness disappeared in an instant.
This kind of scenery is not very beautiful, it is not as beautiful as the mountain flowers, there is no gorgeous sunset, and there is no such thing as a female primitive man wearing a leather skirt in the tribe accidentally revealing the moving scenery when climbing the tree, but I don’t know why, everyone stood Here, looking at such a scenery is not enough.
That kind of contentment and full of anticipation cannot be experienced when watching the rest of the scenery.
After standing here for a while and looking at the fruits of the day's labor of myself and others, the sky became darker and darker.
The crowd washed off the mud on their legs and feet by the side of the canal, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Jinguan City with cooking smoke with their tools.
The moon, which had already come out in the afternoon, became brighter at this time, shining on the person's body, leaving a shadow on the ground.
People walked along the field ridges in the moonlight, which seemed to mean returning home with the moon lotus.
The moonlight is like water, the night is dark, behind is the rice field that has not finished planting seedlings, in front is the inner courtyard revealed by the orange fire, the smell of food is floating in the night with the breeze, there are dogs howling, and occasionally in the middle It will be mixed with one or two sounds of deer crowing and donkey braying...
Han Cheng standing in the paddy field straightened up and took a temporary rest standing still.
Standing here for a short rest, he involuntarily turned his head in one direction, which was the direction where the older female primitive people came and left.
It has been a while since the older female primitive people left. According to the past, counting the time, it is almost time for these people to come again.
For the older female primitive people who came, Han Cheng always had a lot of expectations.
This is not only because the older female primitive people will bring a lot of food, but also because they may bring news of the unknown tribe.
Although so far, they have not brought much news about that tribe.
Han Cheng still had great expectations for that unknown tribe.
Not only because that tribe has the three major pieces of bronze, pottery, and salt, but more importantly, Han Cheng learned from the mouths of the older female primitives that the unknown tribe also has some big ones. prey.
On the way to exchange with things, they will tie part of the goods and the food they exchanged to the big prey and let them carry them.
After learning the news, Han Cheng was extremely excited.
He asked Mao to take the older female primitives to see the donkey and deer, and then asked Mao to question them.
They said that the prey led by the unknown tribe was not these two types, and it was much larger than these two types.
In addition to these, more news can not be obtained from the older female primitive people.
But this is enough for Han Cheng, enough to attract his attention, and he is full of expectations for that unknown tribe and this big prey.
In his impression, there are not too many large animals that can be domesticated by humans and put into production and life on a large scale.
Nothing less than elephants, cows, horses, donkeys, camels and so on.
From the older female primitives, he learned that the big animals were not donkeys, nor were they elephants with long trunks, nor did they have one or two high bumps on their backs.
After eliminating all these, there are not many options left. This is undoubtedly excellent news for Han Cheng who has always wanted to get a large animal.
If things were not too far off, the large livestock owned by that unknown tribe would most likely fall on both oxen and horses.
Of course, it does not rule out that in such a prehistoric era, there will be some species that have not been seen by later generations.
However, even if they were species that had never been seen in later generations, since they were so big and could be domesticated by humans, Han Cheng still dared to let them pull plows and cultivate land for the tribe.
Thinking about these things in my heart, I stood there and looked at the direction where the older female primitives came for a while, but there was no intention of anyone coming there.
Han Cheng had no choice but to suppress the impatience and disappointment in his heart, and continued to bend down to pick up some seedlings and plant them in the paddy field.
It's okay to have expectations for some things, but you should also do your best to do the things in front of you as much as possible.
Otherwise, if you can't wait for the expected thing, and the rest of the things will become a mess, then it's really bad...
"¥43..."
The older female primitive spoke aloud and let go of her burden.
The people in their tribe were very happy to see them coming back with so much food.
However, after seeing the group of hunchbacked primitive people returning with the older female primitive people, some people became a little vigilant again, especially the leader of the tribe where the female primitive people belonged.
After all, in the past, it was the hunchbacked primitives who were doing these things. Now that their own tribe did these things, it was tantamount to robbing a lot of food that should have belonged to the hunchbacked primitives and their tribe.
In this era, food is equivalent to money that everyone in the future will struggle for.
Fortunately, the hunchbacked primitive people didn't show any malice. On the contrary, they still smiled at them as before, which made the leader of the older female primitive people's tribe feel relieved.
After some chatting, the older female primitives also told their tribal leaders about the same thing.
After understanding that these people did not come to trouble their own tribe, but wanted to find the mysterious Qingque tribe, the leaders of their tribe were completely relieved.
"¥4..."
After the older female primitive people put down food and other things, they couldn't wait to go to the hunchbacked primitive people of the mysterious tribe. They couldn't help talking and making some movements, meaning they wanted to The older female primitives can take them there earlier.
After understanding the meaning of the hunchbacked primitive man, the older female primitive woman shook her head vigorously.
The hunchbacked primitive man was amazed at such a scene.
Didn't you already talk about this on the way back? Why did you change your mind after returning to the tribe?
Why don't you take yourself and wait for others?
How can a woman be so fickle?
The hunchbacked primitive man is smart, and from this unexpected behavior of the older female primitive woman, he quickly understood the meaning of the other party.
He looked at the food that his tribe was carrying, and after a little hesitation, he took two packages and put them in front of the older female primitive, saying that as long as the older female primitive took them to that mysterious tribe, these The food was given to the older female primitives.
However, he soon found that he was wrong, because after he conveyed this meaning, the older female primitive woman who had become a fickle woman in his eyes did not ask him for the food he sent out, but sent it again. Once shook his head.
Although he saw that this woman did want some of the food.
This kind of thing made the hunchbacked primitive man puzzled, not knowing what this woman wanted to do.
"4sd..."
Amid his doubts, the older female primitive spoke.
