Xia Qing cut off all the only three corn kernels on the white corn cob and placed them on the stone outside the shed to greet the red squirrels who were performing hard.
"Eat it for free. This is all the corn kernels on the first corn that the boss peels out. It''s for you for free. No need to exchange it, just hide it."
When Xia Qing turned back to the corn shed, the red squirrel almost turned into a red line. Before a few birds that fell to seize food, he swept away all the corn kernels on the stone and fled.
The birds did not grab the food, and then flew back to the trees or stones, staring at the corn shed, waiting for the next chance to seize food.
Corn may emit a scent that summer green cannot smell, and this scent is very attractive to birds.
There are a few anxious birds who have started pecking at the insect-proof net and are about to enter the shed to eat corn.
The more birds gather, the more they are, and the situation is even more exaggerated than harvesting wheat.
Xia Qing frowned and pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Everyone, are there any corn harvesters today? Are there any birds gathering beside the greenhouse when you peeled the corn?"
Shi Li immediately replied, "We have it too, it''s so scary. I dare not peel the corn skin, let alone take the corn cob outside the shed, for fear of being attacked by birds."
A bird is not good at fighting power. If dozens or hundreds of people rush up one by one, it can peck people and peck them to death.
Zhao''s mother, who had not started to harvest corn, was worried, "If the birds gather too many times, they will attract carnivorous birds of prey. It would be fine if the birds of prey come and eat birds only. If it hurts people or destroys the greenhouse, it will be troublesome."
Tang Huai went online and asked enthusiastically, "Xia Qing, where is the harvest of corn? This is a dirty and tiring heavy work. Do you need help? It''s free. After harvesting, just give me some tender corn and let me cook it."
If he used the one with only three grains of rice as reward for Tang Huai, would he be furious?
Xia Qing grinned, "There are not many plants, and they have been collected."
Tang Huai…
Do you think I have never been to your territory? How could so much corn be collected in just a while?
Qi Fu, who had not started harvesting corn, said, "Corn is different from wheat. The wheat is dried after two or three days after harvesting. The corn is better than the weather, and it will have to be dried for more than half a month. If the weather is not good, it will not be dried for one or two months. We cannot draw a few people to drive the birds for half a month, so we have to think of a good idea."
Xiao Liu, assistant to No. 9, discovered the business opportunity and went online immediately.
"Dear Lords, Territory No. 9 has chemical preparations that can disperse birds. You only need a bottle of 300 points to protect an area of ??60 square meters for ten days. Within ten days, no bird can peck at the fruits of labor that you have worked hard to plant for 110 days before harvesting."
Kuang Qingwei asked politely, "Assistant Liu, is this new? I remember the last time you said that the bird repellent in Territory No. 9 is only useful for birds below Level 6."
Assistant Xiao Liu said in a friendly voice, "Mr. Kuang, you remember it very accurately. This is not a new model. It is indeed only effective for birds below level 6, but more than 95% of birds above level 6 are carnivorous raptors, and raptors are not interested in corn."
"Okay, I understand." Kuang Qingwei responded happily.
Assistant Xiao Liu heard that Kuang Qingwei did not mean to buy bird repellent, so he turned to conquering potential target customers. "Ms. Xia, do you think you need it? Your territory has less labor force, and you need new means and new technologies to protect corn, right?"
Xia Qing responded politely, "I don''t need it for the time being. I can cover the corn with the cover I used when drying cotton, which can have a certain bird-proof effect. Moreover, I need to accumulate points for the fence wall, live alone, and it is really insecure if I don''t have the wall."
Even if there is no cover, Xia Qing does not plan to use the bird repellent from the territory No. 9. Because it was a chemical preparation, Xia Qing still wanted to keep the seeds, so how dare she let the chemical preparations come into contact with corn seeds. Not only her, but other lords also think so.
Chemical synthetic drugs were indeed indispensable for agricultural cultivation before natural disasters. However, after the natural disaster, the use of chemical synthetic drugs has been proven to increase the probability of crop evolution and contaminate soil.
No matter why Li Si has been committed to research in this area, Xia Qing does not intend to participate in it and use his own grain and land to save data for Li Si.
Assistant Xiao Liu did not negotiate a business and went offline. Kuang Qingwei started talking about business, "Everyone listened to the farming knowledge broadcast last night. Did you hear the introduction of the corn harvester?"
"I heard it. Brother Qing got the harvester. What kind of thing?" Zhao Ze, who hadn''t grabbed the walkie-talkie for several days, finally went online.
Xia Qing also listened to the farming knowledge broadcast last night and learned that there are two types of large corn harvesters, one is called the grain harvester and the other is called the rod harvester. As the name suggests, the former comes out of corn kernels after harvest, while the latter comes in corn cobs.
When these two types of harvesters are used, they have different requirements for the maturity of corn.
The kernel harvester needs the corn cob to be fully mature, otherwise some of the corn kernels will be broken when mechanically pelleting.
After evolution, the tyrannical elements and powerful destructive microorganisms in the atmosphere of Blue Star will cause broken corn kernels to become moldy in just a few days.
This kind of machine is not suitable because after harvesting corn in the territory, the fields must be sorted out to prepare for planting wheat. If the corn kernels have a hardness of the grains reach the point where they use a grain harvester, the best time to plant wheat has been missed.
The rod-picking harvester does not require the corn to be fully mature and can be used now, but it only serves to crush straw and pick rods. There is less corn in the territory, so there is no need to use this agricultural machine at all.
Not only is it not available in the territory, but the safe area planting center also harvests corn by manpower in order to save resources.
Xia Qing felt that Kuang Qingwei would not use these two types of harvesters because no one would buy or rent them.
Sure enough, Kuang Qingwei was not talking about these two types, "What I got was not a large harvester, but a corn thresher driven by a motor."
"If the corn is peeled off and dried for two days, you can use a threshing machine to leave the corn kernels out of the core, and then dry for another 1 to 3 days, and the corn kernels can be bagged and stored. In other words, using a threshing machine can shorten the time for drying corn to within five days."
Xia Qing was moved, this was really attractive.
Kuang Qingwei quoted, "The threshing machine I got is a new model developed by Hui Er base. It can take 2,000 kilograms of corn in one hour. If you buy it, you can get 1,500 points per unit, and if you rent it, you will get 20 points per hour. If you rent it, I will send a worker to help with the threshing."
This kind of machine is only used once a year, and it is suitable to rent it and buy it.
Xia Qing was the first to sign up, "I will spend an hour at 10 am the day after tomorrow."
Kuang Qingwei, who received the business, was very happy, "Okay, I will send the machine to the girl at 9:45."
After other lords also signed up to rent threshers one after another, everyone began to discuss how to prevent birds when drying corn kernels.
Zhang San, who never participated in this kind of discussion, went online, "My cat and bird catching are very efficient and can take on this task. I don''t charge, but all the birds I catch belong to the cat. Except for Territory No. 3, other territory are fine."
When Xia Qing heard this, sadness had flowed into a river.
