Chapter 334 Planting Rice
Chapter 330 Planting Rice Seedlings

Zhuerba is a moderate size, you don’t need to use chopsticks, just hold the orange leaf gently with one hand, Zhuerba can be held in your hand, and because there is rice in it, it won’t stick to the leaves, so you can pick it up easily You can put it in your mouth.

As soon as Zongba took a red-dotted pig's cake and bit it open, the melted sugar juice immediately leaked out.

The sugar juice flowed up the wrist along the palm, and the bastard didn't say to lower his hand, but raised it up, ready to take it with his mouth.

As a result, all the sugar juice flowed out and continued to flow to the elbow. The Zongba's arm was raised higher and higher, and it seemed that it was going to flow through the elbow.

The villagers around couldn't help laughing, the uncle quickly grabbed his hand and put it down, laughing loudly: "There is an old saying in Jiachuan, 'Eat sugar buns and burn your back'! That's how you count!"

But Shirly picked a meaty one, bit open the oily inside, bright red fire bacon, pink fresh meat, light yellow minced bamboo shoots, green chives, brown mushrooms, loosely wrapped in a bag Inside, there is a strong fragrance, which makes people appetite at first sight.

The younger sister smiled until her eyes narrowed: "Wow, it smells so delicious! This is the best food I've ever eaten in Lijiagou!"

Li Junge was immune to hearing these words. Anyway, he could hear the five members of Columbia University once in ten and a half months, so he didn't bother to introduce them in detail. Complete the test field of Columbia University!"

The uncle has already started to lead a few fast-eating seedlings to the seedling field, ready to transplant the seedlings.

The plastic film was removed from the greenhouse in the seedling field a few days ago. After several days of hardening, the rice seedlings are now healthy and strong, like a piece of green plush blanket.

The villagers all nodded their heads, this year's seedlings are much tougher than previous years!This seedling looks like it will have a good harvest!
The uncle and the others went down to the field, and before pulling out the seedlings, they had to sweep the straw that bound the seedlings over the rice seedlings a few times, which meant to tell the rice seedlings to be honest and not to "go crazy", and move it for you right away. Wo, keep you happy.

It is said that if this is not done, the rice seedlings will be angry and the back of the hand of the transplanter will swell up.

Then they began to pull out the rice seedlings, and when they were as thick as two bowls, they pulled out a piece of dry straw from the back of their waist and bundled them up, and threw them to the edge of the field, and someone naturally came to take them away.

Every family brought bamboo baskets, and soon the hoist was covered with bamboo baskets filled with rice seedlings.

Then the hoist starts to lift the rice seedlings up the mountain.

There are subtle differences in the temperature at the bottom of the mountain. Uncle Boyin’s mother is an old farmer. She has planned the date a long time ago and is going to divide it into several days. As the temperature gradually rises, she will gradually increase from the bottom of the mountain. , Just finished plugging in a week.

When all the planting at the bottom of the mountain is finished, the seedling planting in Miao Village can start again, and there will be no delay at both ends.

Hundreds of people were distributed on the terraced fields at the foot of the mountain, and began to plant seedlings on the ridges.

The terraced fields in Lijiagou, which had been silent for many years, began to be lively again.

Everyone left after eating the pig cakes, and each family still had land waiting to plant rice seedlings.

Li Junge, Ah Yin, and Wu Zhiqiu couldn't help with this matter, so they could only watch everyone talking and laughing while working at the foot of the mountain.

Li Junge looked at Yangtian, which had become lively again after many years of silence, and couldn't help but think of the text he wrote when he was a child.

The paddy field is a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, the white clouds, the green hills, and the green trees.

Farmers are planting rice seedlings, on green trees, on green hills, on white clouds, on blue sky...

Patting Wu Zhiqiu on the shoulder who was still eating pig cakes, Li Junge sighed: "I still haven't caught up! If you want to follow the path of green ecological agriculture, you can't use the original dry seedling raising technology; without the dry seedling raising technology, there is no If you can’t raise seedlings in factories; if you can’t raise seedlings in factories, you can’t use seedling trays; if you can’t use seedling trays, you can’t use small agricultural machinery; if you can’t use small agricultural machinery, people can only suffer...”

A Yin said next to him: "Only by following the path of green ecology, can the paddy field be free from the influence of pesticides and fertilizers; without the influence of pesticides and fertilizers, it is possible to combine rice and fish; to combine rice and fish, there must be ridges and furrows in the field; ditch, the seedling throwing can’t be implemented; except for small agricultural machinery, the seedlings can only be planted manually. It’s all rings and rings..."

Wu Zhiqiu went on to say: "There is also a strong state subsidy for small agricultural machinery. A walk-behind rice transplanter is 2 yuan, the state subsidizes half, and then the county subsidizes [-] yuan, and the manufacturer gets another [-] yuan subsidy from the state. Thousands of dollars. One thousand mu of paddy fields, with a state subsidy of [-] per mu of arable land, have purchased ten sets of walk-behind rice transplanters. Damn it is the green ecological rice dry seedling raising technology that is holding back, so I can only watch the villagers This year, even if I work hard, I will get this technology out!"

Li Junge said: "These are all secondary. The big deal is that I will give more wages to the villagers. The main reason is that I do not have enough manpower in Lijiagou. Now is our large-scale construction period. After working hard on the farm, we will immediately go to the construction site No one can build with iron. Zhiqiu, your task is arduous..."

Wu Zhiqiu looked at the hard-working folks on the hillside and nodded fiercely: "I understand! Don't worry!"

……

After talking about this, Li Junge went to the experimental field of Columbia University, rolled up his trousers and went into the water, and transplanted rice seedlings with the five-person team.

None of the few people is like a farmer, with their buttocks pouting and working in full swing, but they just can't watch the work.

Li Junge suggested to them that we might as well play seedling throwing.

Aunt Bai straightened her waist and twisted it twice, feeling that her waist was no longer her own. Seeing that the folks were inserting it, she shook her head and said, "No, we have to do it like the folks!"

Well, when I didn't say it, just do it!

In order to divert the attention of several people, Li Junge chatted with them while planting rice seedlings.

"In fact, transplanting seedlings is a way of life, which also contains some of our Chinese philosophical thoughts."

Now Aunt Bai became interested, she kept her hands in her hands, and asked, "Oh? Is there such a thing? Piwa, can you tell us?"

Li Junge said: "Have you already been to Fawang Temple? After entering the mountain gate of Fawang Temple, you can see a Maitreya Bodhisattva, the fat, fat and smiling one with a big belly."

"Our country's folklore says that this Bodhisattva often incarnates as a fat monk, carrying a cloth bag in his hand to benevolent to the world. Once when he saw a farmer planting rice seedlings, he felt something in his heart, so he wrote this poem to persuade the world."

"There is a saying, 'Put green seedlings in the wild fields with your hands, look down and see the sky in the water, and the way is pure in heart, and it turns out that going backwards is moving forward.'"

"'Put the green seedlings in the wild field', describing the situation when the farmer transplants the seedlings."

"'Bow your head and you will see the sky in the water', it means that you need to bend down and lower your head when planting rice seedlings, but you can just see the sky reflected in the water."

"Without any distracting thoughts, doing everything in one thing, it seems humble, but the openness of the blue sky turns out to appear when we lower our heads and examine our hearts..."

"'A pure heart is the way', this word for Tao is sometimes written as 'rice', this sentence has a double meaning, only when we are dedicated and have no distractions, can we plant the rice seedlings under our hands, and only when our body and mind are no longer driven by external material desires Only when you are troubled can you improve your practice..."

"'Regression turns out to be forward'. The farmer planted rice seedlings by retreating while planting. It is precisely because of this way that he can plant all the seedling fields. Regression is forward..."

"The principle of being a human being is sometimes like transplanting rice seedlings. Sometimes it seems to be regressing, but in fact it has made progress. This is the old saying 'take a step back and see the sea and the sky'..."

"It's like our country has used pesticides and fertilizers for so long, and now some places are returning to the path of green and organic ecological agriculture. Is this a step backward? Or is it progress?"

"So this poem uses transplanting rice seedlings as an example to tell us that we can see high places from low places, and we can also move forward by regressing. The blindness of ordinary people often lies in seeing high and not low, seeking far and not near, So ambitious. So when looking up at the sky and mountains, don’t forget to know yourself seriously and look around. You will often find that the road is actually under your feet..."

The group of five listened with gusto, almost being fooled by Li Junge to complete the rice planting as a pilgrimage ceremony.

We took a break at noon and continued in the afternoon.

After planting the seedlings, several people lay down in the grass at the foot of the mountain to watch the sunset.

This person can’t be seen anymore, regardless of black race and white race mixed race, now they have all become yellow race people.

Li Junge turned his head, and the field couldn't see, he sighed and said, "If you can transplant rice seedlings with the effect of throwing rice seedlings, there is probably no one else in Lijiagou besides us..."

With a straw stick in his mouth, Taro said, "I never realized that the sunset is so beautiful..."

Aunt Bai also said: "Pi Wa, the seedlings are finished, we should go back to Columbia University. I really don't want to leave this place. This trip to China has given us a lot. The Chinese civilization is broad, magnanimous and profound. , It’s really admirable from the bottom of my heart.”

Alice said: "Jungle, you have to take good care of Zuzu, and this beautiful home. In my heart, this is the most beautiful place in the world I have ever seen."

Shirly's tears came down: "Jungle, back at Columbia, we can only eat the sweet mapo tofu and Kung Pao chicken again... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...that tastes so bad You know, Kung Pao Chicken does not use tomato sauce..."

Li Junge was a little sad at first, but now he laughed: "Hahaha, after staying in Lijiagou for so many days, you haven't learned these two dishes, who is to blame? Go to Jiudouwan or Jiuchang tomorrow. Habitat, let Liu Sangao and Liu Sanwa teach you, and then leave me the address, I will send you bean paste regularly! The mother and son of salt water scoop it up from home and take it there, and make ginger, chili and sauerkraut by yourself over there!"

Shirly snapped her fingers: "Then I also want fermented soybeans, red tofu, dried mushrooms, snow konjac, sprouts, kohlrabi, insect tea, dried fish, ham, sausage..."

Zongba said: "There is also the experimental field of Columbia University, you have to watch it for us too! And when you release the fish, don't forget to put some in for us too. We will come back to harvest the rice and catch the fish when the rice is ripe!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Well, when you come back next time, Lijiagou will be different again. You will still have salted eggs, wind geese, black pork, stone frogs, lychees, longan... At that time, several tourist routes will also be available. After it is built, you can still travel around the mountains and rivers, and it will get better and better!"

Everyone was nodding seriously, with no doubts about the future of Lijiagou in their hearts.
