Chapter 1233 1233 Kinds of Lotus Roots
Chapter 1233 1233. Planting lotus roots
The precipitation throughout February was pitiful, and the water in the pasture and riverbanks was affected. The originally planned lotus root fields were now a wet tidal flat, and some grass sprouts gradually sprouted.
In this weather in March, the grass buds are soft and swaying, always attracting the cattle and sheep who want to see what's going on.
At this time, the two brothers Chen Chi and Chen Xi are needed.
The two border shepherds would circle around them and shout so loudly that the cattle and sheep had to move back.
If there are those who are uncooperative, the strong Chen Chi will be responsible for pulling them away.
However, this one is still fantasizing and rehearsing at the moment, because the grass in the pasture is actually quite fresh and tender, and the cattle and sheep cannot eat it, so they eventually went back honestly.
Zhang Wang's family continued to chatter: "Don't think there's nothing wrong there - the soil on the surface is dry, but it's still wet underneath! If the cow gets stuck, he won't be able to pull it out!"
"Not to mention what if he sprains his foot in there, what a good calf we are! Can you bear to let him suffer like this?"
Chen Chi didn't understand much about other things, but he remembered the matter "It's easy to sprain your feet and cause pain". At this moment, he even patted his chest and nodded:
"I'll keep an eye on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Ran and three others riding a tricycle skillfully, wearing sun protection hats and holding tablets.
Now that we have been working for a while, everyone is familiar with each other, especially the three of them who often travel all over the mountains and plains, so there are not many people they don’t know.
Even Chen Chi remembered it. After calling her sister with a smile, Yan Ran said again:
"Chen Chi, is your phone not charged? Qiaoqiao said he asked you to watch "Digibaby" after get off work..."
Chen Chi said "Ah" and quickly ran into the house.
After everyone said hello to each other, Yan Ran and Qi Lin found the correct position and squatted down first, then reached out and dug out a ball of wet mud.
The two of them, one on the bank and the other on the edge of the river, simply washed their hands, wiped them clean, and quickly started taking notes.
"The water temperature and air temperature have risen, and we are almost ready."
"Okay." Tang Xiaodong also started making plans.
But he still refuses to give up: "It stands to reason that building a dam will make management easier, and the output will be higher in the future."
Yan Ran shook her head: "Song Tan knows, and her uncle also offered to help build the dam last year, but she didn't agree."
As for why...
"Because there is no shortage of the production increase brought by building the dam, and she actually wants to row a boat in it."
"You can row all the way to the other end of the river bend, and build a dam to block the artistic conception - well, forget it, the output does not really affect Song Tan at all."
"Just plan like this, before the rain comes..."
When Yan Ran said this, Qi Lin and Tang Xiaodong felt that they were making money easily again. But think about the strawberries in the field behind the dormitory that are protected day and night... Hiss!
It’s easy to make money, but it’s not easy to graduate!
Tang Xiaodong sighed: "Okay, it's best to settle down the work today - the exposed area of the river beach is about 30 acres, and it will take two days to dry and clean it."
"Look at the weather. Do we need to stay in the sun for a week?"
"It's not feasible. If we spread the base fertilizer after a week of rain next week, it won't be easy for fermentation. Instead, it will easily pollute the surrounding river water."
"The ducks, geese, cattle and sheep all love to go to the water source over there."
"Okay, after drying, just spread the base fertilizer... I'll see which day it rains, and try to start planting when the rain stops."
"By the way, Qi Lin, are you sure that the seedlings that the teacher contacted can be shipped on time?"
Qi Lin sighed: "I originally picked Elian, Wu Zhi, Yugoslavia, Space 36..."
These are all economic varieties that either have high yields of lotus roots or high yields of lotus seeds and good taste.
However, Qi Lin just wants to shake his head now: "In addition, I have provided several varieties for Song Tan to choose, so that when we manage, we can see whether to focus on the yield of lotus roots or lotus seeds, and then adjust the method accordingly."
"In the end, she only asked me if the flowers looked good and which one was the most delicious. I heard that some taste sweet and crisp, while others taste soft and thick, so I finally decided to plant some of each..."
After the three of them heard this, they looked at each other silently.
Finally, Yan Ran concluded:
"Song Tan really doesn't look like a farmer who made his fortune through agriculture."
People talk about economic benefits, but she doesn't talk about it at all. People wanted to be more productive, but she didn't say she didn't want to, but the choices she usually made were not all for this.
but……
Yan Ran, who was not short of money, thought for a while and expressed her understanding:
"If I had such a piece of land at home, I would plant the things I like. Come on, let's arrange these in a row. How can I plant them so that they look good when the time comes?"
"By the way, let me ask her if she wants to plant some flower varieties?"
"By the way, by the way, if we don't build a dam, there may be losses for raising loaches on the river..."
…
And here, Qiaoqiao was humming and carrying the beehive to the other side of the hillside.
After a winter of low-key development, the number of beehives at home has easily reached fifty.
Now it is a large amount that can only be delivered by all four members of the old Song family on tricycles - compared to the five beehives at the beginning.
Seeing that there seemed to be people who needed work here, I saw Chen Yuan and others approaching from a distance: "Do you want to move something?"
Qiao Qiao was about to point to the rapeseed field in front of her when she heard Song Tan refuse with a smile: "We can move, but we don't need your help - everyone has their own division of labor, and you always come to help. After a long time, I take it for granted."
She is the boss, and what she said actually makes sense, but Chen Yuan laughed:
"Yes, we have our own jobs, but we have changed shifts, and I am happy."
The young boss Song came back to open a farm after graduating from college and accumulating some work experience. He probably doesn't know how precious the work and benefits he provides are for them, who find it difficult to live in a familiar environment.
Even if you don't feel it at the beginning, now that you have been working for a month, no one will not feel the changes in eating, drinking, sleeping and workload every day.
Therefore, Chen Yuan directly moved the beehives: "They disbanded, I will help."
Song Tan was a little helpless, but fortunately, it was not a strenuous job at hand-
"Put the beehives in a straight line along the rapeseed field, and each beehive should be about 3m apart."
There are large rapeseed fields on this side of the hillside. Now the flowers are in full bloom, and the eyes are bright yellow, reflecting the hearts of people.
And in the flat fields at the foot of the mountain, there is a deep and light green and purple with appropriate shades.
In the new spring, everything starts again, and the astragalus in the ten-acre rice field is slowly blooming.
And on the farther border line, the rapidly growing golden cherry is climbing on the high fence. Because too much energy is stored in autumn and winter, now the strong shoots are pulled out of the soil one by one,
There is no need to wait until midsummer, and a brilliant sea of flowers will bloom.
At this time, you can't understand how chaotic I am today!
I went back to my hometown to visit my grandma, my family member's grandfather, and my parents. On the way back, my family member had a stomachache...
In short, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Good night!
