Transplanting rice seedlings is an experience that many people have never experienced before. Not to mention people in the north, even in the south, many places are either mechanized or directly use throwing rice seedlings.The oldest kind of rice transplanting has become less and less.People are looking for comfort, anyway, just to grow a little rations.

But in the Tang Dynasty, in the northern land, rice was a novelty, so transplanting rice seedlings became even more interesting.

Today is the day for planting rice seedlings. After breakfast early in the morning, the whole family starts to move out.Since all the work in the early stage has been done, the first step in planting rice seedlings today is to pull the seedlings.

Originally, pulling seedlings was basically done by women in the countryside where Li Feng lived before.However, now Li Feng's family doesn't pay so much attention. Each person has a seedling stool, and as soon as they sit in the seedling field, they start to act.

"Xiaohu, Yaya, when you pull, you should grasp the roots of the seedlings as much as possible, and then apply force evenly with both hands. Don't pull too fast, so as not to tear the seedlings directly. Also, there is a lot of soil at the roots of the seedlings. , When you pull it up, you have to wash off the excess soil, otherwise it will be difficult to plant the seedlings later..."

Xiaohu and Yaya were very curious and excited about doing this job for the first time, but because it was the first time doing this job, they didn't know how to do it at all, and they often tore the seedlings into two pieces, so Li Feng could only share his experience aloud up.Only Rou Niang, without Li Feng's reminder, she can do it smoothly.

"Big brother, why didn't you keep the mud on the top? When you planted the tree last time, didn't you say that the tree would be easier to live if there was more mud on the roots. If the seedlings are washed clean, wouldn't it be difficult to grow them?"

As soon as Yaya heard this, she immediately picked up a seedling with a big lump of mud in her small hands and asked Li Feng.Because, she remembered clearly the last time she planted a tree.

"Yaya, this seedling is different. First of all, this rice seedling is different from a tree. These seedlings are easy to survive. Therefore, if the roots are damaged, the impact is not big at all. In addition, the soil in the field is They are loose, even if we pull them up and wash them, the fundamental damage to them will be very small. So you can rest assured and boldly wash them, it will be fine."

Seeing Yaya's worried face, Li Feng wanted to laugh.My heart said, can this rice seedling be the same as this big tree?If it is replaced by sweet potato vines, it will be easier to survive.As long as the ground is not too dry, just pull a sweet potato vine and insert it there, and the family will be able to live.

"Well, I don't know what happened to those sweet potatoes and corn last time. I have to take some time to go to the valley to get some out. In case I want to eat a sweet potato, I have to dig in the valley. Besides. , these sweet potato leaves are quite good for cooking.”

Suddenly, Li Feng thought of those sweet potatoes and corn in the valley again.This thing, once in a while, is quite good.

"Big brother, after we plant the seedlings in the field, when will we be able to harvest them? After a while, the wheat will be harvested, and we are only planting rice now. It won't be until the Chinese New Year that we can harvest it? "

"Yes, brother-in-law, wheat is planted in autumn and only harvested in summer. If it is rice, it will take that long. By then, I don't know when it will be."

First, Xiao Yaya asked very curiously, and then Xiaohu also asked worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry, it won't take as long as you think. This rice grows much faster than wheat. Let me tell you, after planting, it only takes two months to harvest. .Also, this wheat does not necessarily have to be planted in autumn and harvested in summer. In some places, people plant it in spring and harvest it in autumn.”

The normal growth cycle of rice is about [-] days earlier than that of wheat.And if you encounter early rice or winter wheat, the time will be too bad.No wonder Yaya and Xiaohu were worried.

"Brother Li, no way, how can this wheat be planted in spring? Why haven't I heard of it? Isn't it all planted in autumn and harvested in early summer?"

When Rou Niang heard that Li Feng actually said that there are people who grow wheat in spring, she immediately became curious.It's too fresh to plant wheat in spring.

"Of course there is. As long as they go further north, they plant wheat in spring. If you plant it in spring, you can harvest it in autumn. It's much shorter than your planting in autumn and harvesting in summer."

In ancient times, due to the inconvenient transportation, the information was very underdeveloped.Therefore, apart from some things happening around, I really don't know anything about the outside world.Rou Niang didn't know there was such a thing as spring wheat, it was understandable and normal.

"Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, isn't it a long time to shorten the time? Can the wheat be ripe? If that's the case, wouldn't it be great to change it to spring sowing. The time saved can be used to do other work, how wonderful Ah. I don’t know, can we grow like that here.”

Rou Niang had no doubts about Li Feng's words, but she immediately thought that this spring wheat saves so much time, which is a great thing.

"Hehe, you, don't think about working more all day long. Life, you should enjoy what you should enjoy. There is no way for others to grow spring wheat. It is too cold over there, and wheat cannot survive the winter, so we can only Planting spring wheat. In fact, winter wheat is much more beneficial than spring wheat.”

"First of all, the harvest of this winter wheat is much better than that of spring wheat, at least two layers better."

Seeing that Rou Niang asked for anything, she would directly think about working and managing the house. Li Feng felt a little helpless, but he was more happy. It would be a bad thing if he married a lazy woman who only knows how to have fun.So, I explained to her the benefits of this winter wheat.

"Ah...the harvest is so low, forget it, it's better to grow winter wheat."

When Rou Niang heard this, the harvest was actually two layers short, and immediately began to shake her head continuously.

"That's not all. Think about it. If you are planting spring wheat, the crops will suffer if you suddenly encounter abnormal weather such as cold spring. Moreover, due to the high temperature and heavy rain this summer, all kinds of pests are also very active. , the pest damage is quite serious. In addition, winter wheat can increase its plants by tillering, and can require a lot less seeds..."

Li Feng didn't need to think about it, he knew that Rou Niang would definitely shake her head when she heard about the production gap.And the advantage of winter wheat over spring wheat is not only that, but also has many advantages.

"No wonder no one on our side has ever planted spring wheat, and a fool would do that. Well, by the way, Brother Li, just now you said that after planting the seedlings, they can be harvested in two months. I calculated carefully , From raising seedlings to harvesting, the rice seems to take about three months. If there are two seasons, it will add up to more than half a year. In this case, it is not possible to plant two seasons in one year. Then it takes two years in a year harvest?"

Suddenly, the girl immediately thought of another question, and then asked Li Feng expectantly.Li Feng was really speechless, thinking to himself, this daughter-in-law of his is really not ordinary smart.It's just that she is not interested in many things.

"In some places, you can grow two seasons, or even three seasons. However, we can only grow one season here. This rice is not cold-tolerant, and it will not survive in cold weather."

Regardless of whether it can be planted for two seasons, Li Feng will not do it.After that, it is really a year-round, I have to be busy in the field.Anyway, it’s enough for one season, so why bother.
