Traveling to the Earth: My martial spirit is a hoe
Chapter 7 Planting Potatoes
Luo Ping'an had taught Luo Qiong this knowledge since he was a child, so although he was very tired now, he gritted his teeth and persisted, planting the potato seeds one by one in the soil nest with the germ side facing up.
After Luo Ping'an finished one row, he carried the hoe again and walked to a nest. When he came back, he specifically checked the seeds that Luo Qiong had placed. He saw that each one had the germ facing up and was placed in the middle of the nest. , nodded with satisfaction.
Then he continued to type the next row. After Luo Qiong finished planting a row of potatoes, he straightened up with difficulty and felt a numbness in his waist.
Looking at Luo Ping'an, half of the nests in the second row have been filled, and He Yuhua has caught up from behind. The three of them work in division of labor. If any one of them is full, it will affect the overall progress.
So Luo Qiong did not dare to neglect, and immediately lowered his head again with the basket in hand and started planting the next row.
After planting several rows in this way, he felt that his waist was about to break.
"I'm asking why it's not throwing? Why can't I, a nearly level 30 soul master, throw accurately if others can't?"
He really had a short-circuit in his brain. Of course, it was also possible that the memory of the original owner had too much influence on him. Luo Qiong didn't even think of this.
Thinking of this, Luo Qiong immediately took out a potato piece from the basket, adjusted the position of the germ, and then threw it directly towards the nest.
After the potato escaped from Luo Qiong's hand, it drew an arc in the air and landed firmly in the nest, right in the center with the germ facing upwards.
"Haha, it's done!"
With his control that is far beyond ordinary people, let alone throwing potatoes, he can definitely win the first place in a darts competition.
After this successful experience, Luo Qiong directly picked up three potato seeds and threw them forward. The three seeds flew accurately into the three nests.
"Ha ha"
Luo Qiong smiled proudly.
Because he no longer had to bend down to fall one by one, his speed immediately increased a lot. He was originally more than a dozen nests behind Luo Ping'an, but he caught up in just ten seconds.
Finally, when we arrived in Luo Pingan, as soon as we made a nest, a potato seed would fall into the nest accurately.
"Erwazi, what are you doing? Didn't I say that every potato must be bent down and put into the nest? If you throw it like this, it will break the sprouts, and won't our work be in vain?"
Luo Ping'an had just finished making a nest when a potato fell from the sky and almost hit his hoe.
Without raising his head, he knew that Luo Qiong must not have squatted down to plant seeds as he had taught him.
Luo Ping'an, who has been cultivating land all his life, knows better than anyone else that land is the most honest. No matter how much you pay to it, it will give you back. It is always no more and no less.
Therefore, when it comes to farming, he will never play tricks or compromise. Seeing Luo Qiong throwing seeds directly, his face immediately darkened and he shouted to stop.
"Dad, I threw it very accurately. If you don't believe it, look, I threw all these, and none of them reached Meazi."
Luo Ping'an raised his head and took a look. Sure enough, each potato segment was placed neatly in the nest, and the sprouts on it were intact.
Seeing the surprised expression in his father's eyes, Luo Qiong smiled proudly, but before he could open his mouth, Luo Pingan's face darkened again.
"You have to be down-to-earth when farming. How can you be sneaky and sneaky? These seeds cost money. Can you guarantee that you will throw them accurately every time?"
"what?"
Luo Qiong didn't react for a while, but he felt relieved after a moment. In his memory, his father had such a serious and old-fashioned character.
In the past, he might have said something back, but now there was another soul in this body, so Luo Qiong just smiled and said nothing.
Luo Ping'an was a little surprised when his son didn't talk back. I was stunned for a moment and then started to work.
But Luo Qiong did not continue to put seeds, but ran to the field again and took a basket in front of the dung pile that had been piled up.
These small feces are actually pig feces in the pig pen, but there is a lot of plant ash added to these pig feces. The poop mentioned above probably needs no explanation!
In the row in front, He Fanghua had already poured the dung. Luo Qiong was carrying a basket of small dung, and put a handful in each nest to bury the potatoes.
It's not that troublesome to put out small dung. You can just grab a handful and throw it into the nest. After being neutralized by plant ash and exposed to the sun, the pig dung has become very dry, so it is not too dirty.
Because of the simple process and his precise technique, he quickly caught up with He Fanghua, and at this time, He Fanghua's stool was also poured into the place where the seeds were thrown.
"Mom, just wait a moment."
Seeing her mother stop, Luo Qiong immediately put down the dung basket, then replaced it with potato seeds, and threw them out three in a handful. The seeds seemed to have eyes, and they landed very accurately in the prepared nests. .
Soon Luo Qiong caught up with Luo Pingan again. Luo Pingan originally wanted to teach his son a lesson, but when he looked up, he saw that each of these seeds was placed very standard.
He straightened up and looked at Luo Qiong, opened his mouth but closed it, and then buried his head in making a nest.
Luo Qiong changed his job again, that is, fertilizing.
Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used to grow potatoes. Although this fertilizer can provide a lot of nutrients for potato growth, it is highly corrosive, so when spreading fertilizer, it cannot be spread directly on potatoes.
Fertilizer needs to be spread around the edge of the nest, neither too close nor too far away.
If it rains too close, the seeds will rot when soaked in high-content fertilizer. If it rains too far, the seeds will not be able to absorb the nutrients of the fertilizer after they take root.
Therefore, this distance must also be carefully controlled.
But this did not trouble Luo Qiong. He was seen holding a small plastic bucket in one hand and a spoon in the other. He quickly dug out a spoonful of fertilizer from the plastic bucket, and then accurately delivered the spoonful of fertilizer. The edge of the nest.
Walking through rows, each small piece of compost is almost exactly in the same position as the seed. The white fertilizer looks very dazzling in the yellow ground. The neat arrangement makes it comfortable for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder to find it immediately after seeing it all. Get a quilt and lie down on the spot.
After a while, Luo Qiong spread the fertilizer to the place where the dung had been placed, and immediately changed the dung basket.
By the time he caught up with He Fanghua, the other party was about to pour manure down to the last few potato seeds.
Luo Qiong replaced the potato seeds again and continued to throw potatoes. This went back and forth several times, and within an hour, half of the land was planted with potatoes.
"Mom, go and cover the nest, I'll take care of the rest."
At this time, because of Luo Qiong's high efficiency, Luo Ping'an's nest-making speed could no longer keep up.
Luo Qiong decided to pack all the seeds, manure and fertilizer herself, so that her mother could free up her hands to cover the nest.
Covering the nest means covering the nest that has been planted with seeds and fertilized with soil again with soil.
Of course, this nest is not just about covering the potatoes with soil. Instead, according to the nest that has been made, the soil on both sides is piled in the middle. It not only covers the potato seeds, but also forms a ridge. .
Once a row of nests is covered, a straight ridge will be formed, and there will be a deep ditch between the two ridges.
The ridges are mainly used for growing potatoes, while the ditch can be used for drainage and as a channel for weeding and top dressing.
Overall, it is a technical job that requires a certain amount of time to practice, so Luo Qiong did not do it by herself, but asked her mother to do it.
In this way, the three of them divided the work and cooperated, and soon a small patch of potatoes was planted. At this time, the manure picked up was not enough, so Luo Pingan put down the hoe and went back to pick manure.
After two trips back and forth, half of the fields had been planted. Looking at the straight rows of fields, Luo Qiong was very satisfied with the results of his labor.
After Luo Ping'an finished picking manure and took a rest, a new round of sowing continued. By noon, the sun had risen high, and the potatoes in these six plots were finished.
