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 have now become a wet tidal flat, and some grass sprouts have gradually sprouted.

In this March weather, the tender and swaying grass buds always attract those cattle and sheep who want to take a closer look.

 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.

However, this one is still fantasizing and rehearsing at the moment, because the grass in the pasture is actually quite fresh 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 inside, what a good calf we are! Can you bear to let him suffer this?”

 Chen Chi didn’t understand much about the other things, but he remembered this thing clearly: “It’s easy to sprain your feet and cause pain.” At this moment, he even patted his chest and nodded:

 “I’ll take good care of 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, he heard Yan Ran say 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 hurriedly 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, were simply washing their hands, wiping them clean and quickly taking notes.

“The water temperature and air temperature have risen, and it’s almost ready.”

 “Okay.” Tang Xiaodong also started making plans.

 But he is still a little unwilling to give up: “It stands to reason that building a dam will be easier to manage, 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 to 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—oh, forget it, the output will actually have no impact on 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 on work today - the exposed area of ​​​​the river beach is about 30 acres, and it will take two days to clean it up."

 “Look at the weather, do you 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 over there love to go to the water source over there.”

“Okay, just spread the base fertilizer directly after drying... I’ll see if 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 chose Elian, Wu Zhi, Yugoslavia, Space 36..." These are all economic varieties that either have high yields of lotus roots or lotus seeds and good taste.

However, Qi Lin just wanted 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 hearing this, the three of them 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 his 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 to raising loaches on the riverside…”

 …

Here, Qiaoqiao was humming as he moved 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 volume that only the four members of the old Song family can deliver by riding a tricycle - 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 just about to point to the rapeseed field in front of her when she heard Song Tan smile and refuse: "I can move it, but I don't need your help - everyone has their own division of labor, and you always come to help. After a long time, I have used all the things here." Of course."

 She is the boss, and what she said actually makes sense, but Chen Yuan laughed:

 “Yes, we have our own jobs, but we have already changed shifts, which I am happy to do.”

Young Boss Song heard that he came back to start a farm after graduating from college and accumulating some work experience. He probably didn't know how valuable the job and welfare benefits he provided were to a group of people like them who had difficulty living in a familiar environment. Bar.

 Even if you don’t feel it at first, now that you have been working for a month, no one can’t feel the change in your daily eating, drinking, sleeping and workload.

So Chen Yuan started moving the beehives directly: "They dispersed, I will help."

 Song Tan was a little helpless, but fortunately, it was really not a strenuous job in front of him—

“Place the beehives in a straight line along the rapeseed field, with a distance of about 3m between each beehive.”

This side of the hillside is a large field of rapeseed flowers. Now the flowers are in full bloom, and the bright yellow color in front of you makes everyone's heart open.

 In the gentle fields at the foot of the mountain, there is a patch of deep and light green and appropriate shades of purple.

  In the new spring, everything begins again, and the milkvetch in the ten acres of rice fields is slowly blooming.

Further on the boundary line, there are rapidly growing golden cherry blossoms climbing on the high fence. Because autumn and winter contain too much energy, strong shoots are now being pulled out of the soil one by one.

 You don’t have to wait until midsummer, a sea of ​​splendid flowers will bloom.

At this time, I can’t even realize how chaotic I am today!

 Going back to my hometown, visiting my grandma, visiting my family’s grandfather, and accompanying my parents, my family got a stomach attack on the way back...

 In short, I wish everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
