Chapter 488 Going into the mountains during busy farming season (2)
Now, the rice seedlings nted by the Mo family in early April have grown, and the terraced fields are filled with spring water, just waiting for the rice seedlings to be transnted. Transnting rice seedlings is an easy job. Apart from a little exposure to the sun, which may make your waist and legs sore after being bent for a long time, it does not require any effort. The wages range from fifteen to twenty cents per day, so whenever there is time in the vige, , the vigers who were quick to nt rice seedlings spontaneously ran to nt rice seedlings.
Rice is a hybrid rice from the previous generation. There are certain requirements for the spacing and row spacing of the seedlings. They cannot be too dense, otherwise it will easily reduce the yield, and it will be inconvenient to remove weeds and insects.
Even though she had been warned from the beginning, Mo Yan was still a little worried that someone would nt the rice seedlings ording to the previous spacing. After the work in the medicine garden was finished, she went to the terraced field specifically.
When she came to the field and saw several acres of nted seedlings densely packed together, with only half the distance between them as she said, Mo Yan didn''t know what to say.
An old man surnamed Ding saw that she looked wrong and advised him earnestly: "Girl Yan, old man, I have been farming all my life, and I have never seen anyone with seedlings as widely spaced as you said! The soil in this paddy field is shallow. , and its rawnd that has never been nted with crops. If we follow the intervals you said, the seedlings will definitely not grow. Isnt this wastednd?
Knowing that the old man meant well, Mo Yan was not angry. He just pulled up a few seedlings and exined: "Uncle Ding, you are a good farmer. What you said makes sense, but these seedlings are really different from the previous ones." , the sprouts are amazing! Look, after the ordinary seedlings are raised, they are all single nts, but the one you are holding now has sprouted into at least three nts. Is this sprout better than the previous seedlings? If you nt them like this now and wait until they are alive and then grow them, they will definitely be more powerful. However, the spacing is so narrow that there will be no room for the trees to grow. If they are crowded together in the end, they will definitely die!"
Listening to the argument between the old and the young, the other vigers listened intently while nting the rice seedlings. They also saw the difference in the seedlings, but they had raised seedlings before, but they had never raised seedlings like this, and they had never seen others raise them. She didn''t quite believe Mo Yan''s words, thinking that the seedlings were, as she said, new species found elsewhere by someone else, and the intervals between transnting the seedlings should not be too small.
Uncle Ding looked at the seedlings in his hand andpared them with the seedlings he had raised before fleeing. He couldn''t help but nodded and said, "It''s true. The cultivation time of this seedling is quite different from the previous seedlings, but the growth time of this seedling is much better. This one was just nted in the field, and it looks like it has been there for seven or eight days.
Seeing that he finally recognized this, Mo Yan kept up her efforts: "Uncle Ding, I don''t know what changes have happened to this seedling, but it grows so fast, it will definitely grow more than the original seedling. In this way, If the interval is narrow, won''t it be crowded? Furthermore, if the interval is wider, less grain will be collected. If the interval is narrow, except for those on the edge of the field, all the seedlings in the middle will wither. Then Its really a dead end!
As soon as he heard "no harvest", Uncle Ding''s expression finally changed. The farmer''s family depends on the sky for food. If the harvest fails due to the spacing of the seedlings, why not make people sick to death?
In the end, the vigers who transnted the rice seedlings listened to Mo Yan''s words and increased the distance between the rice seedlings. As for the few acres that had been nted, Mo Yan did not let them pull it out again. It was better to set a negative example, otherwise it would always be Some people think that if the spacing is small, the harvest will be better if more seedlings are nted.
One hundred and twenty acres of paddy field is quiterge. Without a rice transnter and relying solely on one hundred and fifty people, it took three days to finish all the rice nting. nting the seedlings is only the first step. Whether the harvest will be good or not depends on subsequent care. After all, Lingquan water is not a panacea. It encourages seedlings to grow rapidly, but it also reduces weeds in the field and even fattens pests. Therefore, subsequent care must not be careless at all.
Mo Yan has only grown rice in the space, and there are no weeds or pests in the space. All she has to do is wait for the harvest. She has no experience in taking care of rice, so she ns to find someone to do it.
She had a good impression of Uncle Ding. He had been cultivating thend all his life and was a good farmer. She paid him 300 cash per month to ask him to check the condition of the seedlings every day. If they needed irrigation, weeding, and weeding, she had a good impression of him. Uncle Ding will help find someone to do the worming and top dressing. If he does it himself, he will be paid extra.
In this way, there will be a lot of ie every month. This is a pretty good "fat job" for Uncle Ding, who is living an extremely difficult life. He agreed without hesitation.
Mo Yan doesn''t need to worry too much about things in the fields. All her energy is focused on the winery and medicine garden.
After months of searching and deliberation, she has decided on the address of the winery. It is just upstream of the three-mile road from Liuyang Vige. It is the outlet of the river. There is arge t and open valley with severalrge areas on both sides. Slopes of various sizes are suitable for building houses and growing grapes.
The medicine garden did not find a suitable person to take care of it, and she was unable to stay away from him every day. Mo Yan spent almost all her time in the medicine garden during the day. Fortunately, there was a space with a big time difference from the outside world. After working in it, she could stay in the space. She had to rest inside and slowly prepare for the winery. Otherwise, even if she had an extra pair of hands and a head, it would be difficult for her to cope with it.
However, on the tenth day of May, Mo Yan put down what he was doing and followed the three beasts into the mountain. He met up with the red python that had not gone down the mountain for a long time but had grown thicker. Under their careful guidance, they entered the mountain. The depths of Yuhua Mountain that have never been visited by anyone.
The mountain peaks are stacked with rocks, the forest is blocking the sky, and various strange sounds can be heard from time to time in the deep forest. Even the three beasts and the red python have changed from their usual noisy behavior when entering the mountain and have be cautious. . All this made Mo Yan unconsciously cautious and carefully observed the surrounding movements. If there was any danger, she could take the four beasts into the space to take refuge in time.
I dont know how big Yuhua Mountain is. Since there is Dabai who was born with spiritual wisdom, a red python that has lived for hundreds of years, and even ck lingzhi that is extinct outside, no one knows if there will be something bigger than Dabai and the red python. A more powerful beast.
Although there is a huge natural treasure deep in Yuhua Mountain, Mo Yan does not dare to be careless at all. In the past, hiking into the mountain was only in the territory of Red Python and Dabai, so it was very safe. But this time it is different. No one knows what will happen. unpredictable
