Chapter 22 Sheep Plow
On five sunny days after the rain, the temperature quickly rebounded, and the content of elementals in the atmosphere of Blue Star dropped to normal. After the poisonous elements in the soil were almost evaporated, Xia Qing began to prepare for sowing.
She used these five days to clear out the weeds and poisonous insects in the three villages, and also pulled out all the evolutionary grasses in the thirty acres of the most fertile and flat land near the reservoir. Of course, she only pulled out the evolutionary grass that grew wildly in the rain, and she had not yet taken care of the sparse grass seedlings growing normally under the evolutionary grass. Except for the ones that were gnawed by the sheep, all the others were there.
However, Xia Qing decided not to clean up and started farming. She stood by the ground, took out a cluster of Chinese toon buds, shaking and shouting, "Boss - Eat Chinese toon buds?"
The boss of the sheep gnawing in the field immediately rushed over, and Xia Qing took advantage of the opportunity to eat and put a special arable land condom on it. This set was made by Xia Qing in the style of a vest-style dog walking leash for dog walking, ensuring that the boss of the sheep cannot break or break it.
After putting on the equipment, Xia Qing turned the bamboo pole tied to the mechanical plow, and the bamboo pole with a cluster of toon tree buds began to sway in front of the head of the old sheep. Because of language barriers, Xia Qing and Boss Yang only have two ways of communicating: food and fighting.
Xia Qing hung up the bait and shouted loudly, "Boss, your chance to show off has finally come, work starts!"
Boss Yang finished eating the toon buds on the ground, and found that it was not reachable. It stepped forward to reach the toon buds, and the toon buds also ran forward. The sheep boss was not convinced and continued to reach it. The rope on its body was tight, and three plowheads penetrated deep into the soil. Xia Qing held the handrail of the mechanical plow and began to plow the land.
The plough of this three-plow machine should be pulled by a tractor and has no handrails. After Xia Qing dug it out of the ruins of the village, it was modified and repeatedly debugged and turned into the current sheep plow.
Boss Sheep easily pulled the plow from one end to the other end. Xia Qing pulled the bamboo pole backward, and a cluster of Chinese toon buds reached Boss Sheep''s mouth. When the boss of the sheep stopped eating the toon buds, Xia Qing immediately moved the sheep plow and turned around, then hung a cluster of toon buds, and then the boss of the sheep pulled the plow stick back from one end to the other end of the ground.
After a round trip, a plot of land that is 1.5 meters wide and 200 meters long has been plowed!
After another circle, nearly one acre of land was completed, which was much faster than Xia Qing''s shovel and shovel, and Xia Qing was so happy that he couldn''t even close his mouth.
When the sheep boss ate enough Chinese toon buds and was about to lose his temper and went on strike, Xia Qing changed the bait.
A small piece of food was hanging in front of her, and Boss Sheep doubled her enthusiasm and doubled it. It only took more than an hour to plow 30 acres of land, and it consumed a piece of food and a handful of Chinese toon buds.
Xia Qing took off the condom on the hero''s body, fed it with water and combed it for a meal, and served it. Boss Sheep, who was full and satisfied with the service, squinted his eyes and rested on the ground, and watched Xia Qing continue to be busy proudly.
Xia Qing finished packing up the roots, grass roots and stones that had been plowed up, stood up and looked at the magpies, sparrows and crows that were eating by insects on the plowing ground, and was in a very good mood.
Only when the bird eats the insects in the field can her food grow better. The work will start smoothly on the first day after the rain, and there is hope for a bumper harvest!
But when Xia Qing listened to the radio introduction at night, he not only ate insects, but also digs the seeds from the soil, Xia Qing couldn''t be happy.
Immediately afterwards, the broadcast introduced the response method, "The experts from our base planting research center recommend two methods to the lords: one is to stir the seeds with deworming powder before sowing. This method can not only drive away birds, but also prevent the damage of the seeds by evolutionary pests in the soil; the second is to use a third-level odor to evolve cinnamon or camphor tree juice, and spray it on the sowing plot in a ratio of one to ten. This method can effectively drive away most birds, and the two methods are used at the same time have more effect. Experts remind that lords do not scatter the seeds on the surface to save trouble. The wheat seeds should be soaked in three to five centimeters. The distance between the rows... cotton... In order to increase the germination rate, the seeds can be soaked one night in advance, but the water temperature must be controlled..."
Xia Qing lay beside the table, lighting a candle and taking notes carefully.
Before the natural disaster, China''s urbanization rate had reached more than 70%, and most of China''s arable land had been handed over to large-scale specialized farms for operation. After ten years of natural disasters, the elderly who could farm but had low resistance died one after another. Most of the lords of the territory did not know how to farm. Therefore, although the "Growing Collection" was found on the mobile phone sent to the lord, the base still broadcasts planting knowledge in detail every day. Xia Qing has worked in the safe zone planting center and still understands the basic process of farming, but she does not dare to be careless at all. Because the planting center is planted in a rainproof greenhouse, it is now planted open-air.
After the rain, the plants grew rapidly, and the traffic between the safe zone and the territory was interrupted. Xia Qing’s two power banks were unable to charge in time. She had to give priority to ensuring the daily power of the radio, and use it directly on the phone to make a phone call. If you can watch "Planting Collection", you won’t watch it, save power.
After the seeding is finished, she must find a way to get a few solar panels back.
Xia Qing put away his notebook and sat on the tatami while picking up the sheep while thinking about the broadcast news content.
It has been five days since the broadcast of Huisan Base has never mentioned the number of deaths caused by this rain. Xia Qing conservatively estimated that it must have exceeded 7,000.
Although the specific casualties are not reported, the announcer will tell touching stories in a vocal and emotional manner every day. What is broadcast today is the heroic deeds of the Sufeng Team sacrificing six people to repel the evil forces in order to ensure the safety of public facilities and property.
Xia Qing guessed that Feng Teng should be among the six people, so Feng Wen cried so sadly on Zhong Tao''s phone.
As for Feng Teng''s death, it is definitely not the reason given by the radio, because Feng Teng ran faster than anyone else when he encountered danger.
Who do the "evil forces" mentioned in the radio refer to? Where did they get the confidence? How dare they face Sufeng Team and Tang Zhengrong, the second in command of the base behind the team?
Before Xia Qing could figure it out, Boss Yang stood up and skillfully opened the door and went out. In the past few days, Boss Yang has learned to open and close the door with his hooves, and the door at home is already safe.
Xia Qing no longer thought about Feng Wen''s affairs, so she stood up and took out the seeds and soaked the seeds according to the method taught on the radio. She used half of the filtered water, and half of the spring water with better water quality.
When in the safe zone, Xia Qing planted vegetables in flower pots like most people. Although she took good care of herself, most of the vegetables would grow wildly in the rain, and not much could be eaten in the end. However, after the **** and garlic seedlings she transplanted after she arrived in the territory, only three of the 17 seedlings were destroyed, which was lower than in the greenhouse in the planting center of the safe area.
After analysis, Xia Qing felt that the reason for the low rate of deterioration was that she watered the spring water after transplanting, and 20% of the soil here was better. In order to verify and for safety, Xia Qing carefully decided to use both water.
The ones used filtered water were planted in thirty acres of arable land, and the ones used by mountain spring water were turned over before the rain, and the other side after the rain was turned over again.
In order to ensure that the water temperature is always maintained between 30°C and 40°C, Xia Qing, who did not have a constant temperature equipment, simply used his body temperature to test the water temperature and almost didn''t sleep all night.
