Chapter 70 The second sudden rain of death
China News Radio is still the same as the old one: foreign countries are in dire straits, except for the coastal bases in China, other bases are thriving and good news continue.
Xia Qing was washing dishes while listening to the news broadcast of China, and returned to the living room to continue listening to the news broadcast of Huicheng Base and the news facts of Hui San Base. Then, he reached the most critical link: weather forecast.
Farmers can be said to rely on the weather for their income, so all lords are very concerned about the weather.
"According to the joint predictions of the Hui-1 Base Meteorological Station and the Hui-3 Base Meteorological Station, most areas of the Hui-City base will usher in the second large-scale rain this year the day after tomorrow." Xia Qing felt a thump and stopped immediately, listening attentively, "...On May 21, there will be rain in the safety zone of Hui-3 Base and the territory outside the district, with the highest level of orange, lasting for two days, and the total rainfall is about 90 mm..."
The next farming knowledge broadcast is also directed at this rain of harm, which specifically introduces to the lords how to protect crops that have been growing for two months in the upcoming rain of harm.
Just like Xia Qing treats Boss Yang, the announcer of Hui San Base first gave the lords a stunning soup, "The level, duration and precipitation of this rain killing are not only lower than the previous one, but also the lowest threat in the second rain killing in five years. As long as all lords are prepared and help the spring sowing crops survive this rain successfully, there will be a bumper harvest. Let''s learn about the main methods of crops to deal with rain killing together..."
After recording the response methods introduced by the radio in detail in the book, Xia Qing turned off the radio and turned on the walkie-talkie.
In the Lord’s channel, the upcoming rain of killing is being discussed.
Qi Fu talked happily, "The radio is right. This rain comes at the right time. Our grain and vegetable seedlings, except for cotton, have passed their childhood, and the probability of evolution is much smaller. If the rain is late in the second half of the month, it will just happen to catch up with the blooming period of wheat and mung beans, and the yield will be reduced by half."
Zhao Ze immediately followed, "Brother Qi is right, but do we really need to cover all the farmland with rainproof cloth? Not to mention whether the rainproof cloth is enough, it will be too late to do it for two days."
Kuang Qingwei retorted to Zhao Ze, "You have the time to pick up stones to create landscapes, so why don''t you have time to build a rain shed?"
Zhao Ze whispered, "I don''t specialize in landscapes, I just pick up a few stones when I''m tired of working. Brother Qi, Brother Wei, can you build all the fields? There are several acres, how is it possible?"
Kuang Qingwei ignored Zhao Ze and asked Qi Fu for advice, "Old Qi, what are you going to do with Pumpkin Seed?"
Qi Fu replied, "My rainproof cloth is not enough, so I plan to put the seedlings together and cover as much as I can. There is no way to cover them if I can''t. Do you have any extra bamboo poles? I want to change it."
With Qi Fu''s cautious temper, it is impossible for him to not even prepare rainproof cloth, bamboo poles and wood to deal with the damage to the rain. Xia Qing felt that he said this to block the other lords'' mouths and told them not to lend him supplies.
The channel was quiet for a while, and it was Tang Huai who took the blame. "You have a forest territory. The bamboo poles and wood that can build a rain shed are not enough. I have only a few trees, and I am not enough. Are Brother Feng from the No. 1? Can I change to a bamboo pole?"
"Puff-" Xia Qing, who was drinking water, couldn''t help but spray.
For a few bamboo poles, Tang Huai actually called his lord to his lord...
Are you still the Tang Huai who quarreled with Hu Zifeng every day for the sake of the wolf? In order to protect the farmland, don’t even want to save face?
Hu Zifeng spoke slowly, "No."
Tang Huai, who pinched his nose and whispered in a low voice, disbelief, and his voice rose by twenty-eight degrees. "Aren''t there a bamboo forest on your mountain No. 49? How could there be no bamboo?"
Hu Zifeng yawned, "Do you want the bamboo pole in the mountain No. 49? OK, pay the mountain fee to cut it yourself." Tang Huai exploded and cursed, "Crazy, wait for me, when you beg me."
"Okay, I''m waiting." Hu Zifeng yawned without any worries.
The lord''s exchange ended with scolding. Xia Qing turned off the walkie-talkie and soon received a message from Hu Zifeng: Does Miss Xia need a bamboo pole?
Xia Qing had already prepared her reply, put away her phone and started to wear protective clothing.
Qi Fu was right. The second rains are now falling, which is better than the second half of the month later, but she hopes that the rains will be five days later. Because in her territory, not only cotton in the seedling stage, but also the more seedlings of sweet potato vines, and sixteen green light sweet potato seedlings that have not recovered after half of the vines are cut.
Damn, yesterday''s weather forecast still did not cause any damage to the rain within five days, otherwise how could she choose to cut sweet potatoes at this critical moment!
Where did this come from a demonic wind that was swept with the rain? Isn’t this just a special thing that can’t get along with her!
Xia Qing cursed and put on protective clothing and started work immediately.
It''s going to rain, and she has enough materials, so of course she has to protect all the crops in the fields.
It is best to do the two planting areas on the hillside. Just cover it with a layer of rainproof cloth on the already-built insect-proof net. The wheat fields, mung beans, cotton, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins in the farmland need to be built in a rainproof cannon.
The materials for building a rain protection canopy are enough. If you build a rain protection canopy tomorrow, Xia Qing will definitely be able to finish this job in one day. What Xia Qing is most worried about now is the sweet potato vine that has just been cut, and the sheep boss who may be out of control again in the rain.
The sweet potato field that is cut must be protected, so is the sheep boss.
The rain must be killed before, and we must race against time. Xia Qing moved the rainproof cloth, bamboo slices, wooden sticks and steel bars to the yard, repeatedly sprayed the camphor tree sap and the aconitum juice to prevent insects, and then sprayed Zhang San''s deodorant to remove the smell.
Boss Sheep hates the stimulating smell of camphor tree sap and hides in the house and doesn’t come out. Xia Qing is busy all night alone.
Not only her, the lords who heard the radio from Hui San Base did not sleep all night.
At around five o''clock the next morning, Xia Qing drove out the micro-tiller and hung her homemade tractor bucket. The wheels of the tractor bucket are welded by knocking and knocking out steel bars in wasteland buildings. The truck bucket is made of steel bars as a skeleton and wooden boards as baffles. It is indeed simple, but the capacity is large enough. Xia Qing only took two trips to pull all the materials for building a rain shed to the ground.
Then, Xia Qing unloaded the tractor bucket and hung it on a single plowing plow, and plowed the open land between the plots.
Xia Qing made the farmland into long strips according to the method introduced in the radio, leaving enough space between the plots to facilitate the construction of rain protection awnings and digging drainage ditches.
Xia Qing inserted the thick bamboo slices deeply into the plowed soft soil and stepped on them. He also inserted bamboo slices on the corresponding position on the other side of the farmland that was more than four meters wide, and tied the upper ends of the two corresponding thick bamboo slices together with ropes. An arched outer bracket of the rainproof canopy was built.
