Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 149 The Second Generation Rice Harvest... Ready to Dry Deng Chuanzi

In mid-September, Qiuhuo is no longer as unscrupulous as before.

The temperature has dropped and the weather is gradually getting cooler.

Jiangbian Village, Tianlongli.

In the fields where rice is sparsely planted, the rice is fully mature.

Looking at the whole thing, there are irregular lumps here and there, without any sense of beauty.

Ji Ran and the old man carried the rice thresher and placed it by the side of his mound.

The noise caused caused a large group of sparrows to fly out of the field.

Ji Ran didn't even want to see those little thieves stealing the valley.

When he takes the millet back to dry, the eagle will have to settle accounts with them in the future.

Looking around the vast field ridges.

Ji Ran couldn't help shaking his head.

I think back then, every time I came here, the ridges of the fields looked like a golden ocean, and there was a scene of a bumper harvest—in the eyes of the farmer's uncle, this was the most beautiful scenery in the world, not one of them.

But now...

Everything becomes the dust of history.

"Ranzi, you really want to get this millet. It was a few days later than everyone's seedlings, but it matured in time."

Ji Ran’s father, Ji Zhonghou, squatted on the ridge of the field, twisting a tassel of millet in his hand, and exclaimed, “The main reason is that the tassel of grain is dense and dense. Look at how plump the grain of millet is, and it’s pleasing to look at. "

Ji Ran's old lady looked at the whole field with her hips crossed, "There is nothing to say about this grain seed. It grows fast and well. I estimate that the yield of one mu of field will be two thousand catties no matter what!"

Ji Zhonghou echoed, "At least two thousand pounds! Super productive!"

The second elder praised and commented for a while.

Ji Zhonghou asked, "Ranzi, can we plant more of this millet next year?"

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Next year, I will try my best to find a way."

"Go to work, the harvest will be finished early, and the loss will be less, the sparrow is too annoying!"

Wu Lanting gritted his teeth as he looked at the hundreds of little sparrows that had just flown out of the fields and landed in the nearby deserted fields, ready to come and catch the autumn wind at any time.

There is a reason why sparrows were among the four pests that society used to eradicate.

This little thing is really hated by the farmer uncle.

"There are so many sparrows, how many grains do they have to eat in a day, work hard, work hard."

Ji Zhonghou muttered and waved the sickle in his hand.

Wu Lanting also began to cut the crops.

Ji Ran walked down to the field barefoot.

The water in the field had been drained by him about ten days ago. The mud was neither soft nor hard, but it felt quite good when stepping on it.

When harvesting rice purely manually, the first step is to lay down the stubble and gather it into a hand.

Then there is the rice thresher threshing.

Then pick it back to dry.

Besides... the process is not complicated, but it is an out-and-out physical work.

Ji Ran didn't want the old man to suffer this burden, he wanted to spend more money to hire someone to harvest it like when planting these fields.

But in the past two days, among the left-behind elderly people in the village, who in every household doesn’t want to thresh millet?

As for inviting people from outside villages...

Ji Ran doesn't want to expose the second generation of Guzi to the outside world.

He is very clear that the exposure of the second-generation crops will happen sooner or later... unless he doesn't want to plant them on a large scale!

"Dad, what am I doing?"

Seeing the three adults harvesting rice, Douhua asked anxiously on the ridge of the field. She also wanted to help.

She already had experience transplanting rice seedlings, but it was her first time harvesting.

In fact, Ji Ran asked her daughter off today and didn't let her go to the martial arts gym to practice martial arts. There are three intentions:

Firstly, it was to temper her hard-working spirit;
The second is to let her continue to taste the hardships of labor, and to have a deeper understanding of "the day of hoeing, sweat drips into the soil; who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work." ';
San Lai Ru took her to transplant rice seedlings back then, which was considered a kind of life experience.

Speaking of which, nowadays, how many children don't know the song "Compassion for Farmers" by heart?

But when you ask them, where and how the food comes from... how many of them can answer that?
Ji Ran doesn't want her daughter to be just a 'farmer blind' who can speak with a louder voice than anyone else, but in reality can't tell wheat from rice or rice from rice or grains.

"You play for a while first, your mission will come soon."

Ji Ran said to her daughter.

"Oh, okay." Hearing what her father said, Douhua nodded, not in a hurry.

Ji Ran bent over and was cutting with the sickle.

With his hands busy, he said to the old man next to him, "Dad, next year I want to contract the entire field."

Ji Zhong said honestly, "If you can grow all these grain seeds, or if you can get state subsidies, you can still get a deal... If you grow the grain seeds on the market and there is no subsidy, then you Just don’t take on the contract.”

Ji Ran understands what the old man said.

The country's major policy is to protect basic people's livelihood, and the price of grain has always been low, firmly controlled at more than one yuan per pound!
However, the costs of grain seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, labor, etc. are rising year by year.

After all, the benefits from farming are minimal.

In Jiangxin, the big farmers who contracted the farmland do not mainly make money from growing grain. The bulk of their income comes from agricultural subsidies.

As for the fields, it is very easy to contract—which village’s fields are not completely deserted?
It's nothing serious to focus on agricultural subsidies... Ahem, it's none of your business, go to sleep.

"I'll add up again."

Ji Ran didn't discuss this further with the old man.

He already had concerns about this matter.

The three of them cut over ten square meters of rice neatly.

Clear an empty field.

The father and son carried the rice thresher into the field.

Install wooden baffles.

Lubricate the gears.

Ji Ran stepped on the pedal to make the rolling center in the engine room rotate.

"Wu~Wu~Wu~"

The sound of the roller's rapid rotation echoed in the fields, composing a pastoral harvest movement.

Ji Ran started threshing.

Douhua is responsible for delivering the rice to him.

Ji Ran has strength, Dou Hua has quick hands and feet, and the cooperation between father and daughter is quite efficient.

It's just that Douhua was doing something, so he went on a errand.

She saw a round hole in the mud. During spring plowing, she and her father had dug out loaches, and she knew there was something good inside.

So I stuck my butt out and pushed my fingers into the hole.

When Ji Ran saw it, he didn't talk about her.

When they harvested autumn when they were young, it was not like this.

Often also carrying a hoe and bucket.

After a field of millet has been threshed, a large bowl of delicious dishes is available at the same time.

Although my daughter's mind is much more mature than her peers, she is still just a child.

"Didn't catch it?"

Douhua felt lonely, and came over with her arms around Daomi, and Ji Ran asked her with a smile.

Douhua pouted, "I didn't catch it, the loach is too slippery."

Ji Ran said, "It doesn't matter. When the grain is threshed, dad will take you to catch it."

Douhua then made several more attempts, each time ending in failure.

Realizing that she couldn't catch the slippery loach with her small hands and skills, she concentrated on her work.

……

Half the cabin was full of grain.

Ji Zhonghou, who went to cut rice again, put down his sickle and came over, took out the millet from the rice threshing machine cabin and put it in a basket.

After loading a load, Ji Ran carried it to the side of the road with a pole.

Hongqi SUV is already in place.

Ji Ran put the basket in the spacious trunk and pulled it back to Youranju.

More than 60 new cars are used to pull millet, if this news gets out...

After getting the millet to Youranju, Ji Ran spread out a piece of shed cloth prepared in advance on the open space in front of the wooden house—every household needs a bamboo mat for drying things, so I didn't borrow it.

Shed cloth will work just as well.

Dry the millet on the tent cloth.

"Diaozi, your task is the same as last time, guard the millet, and eliminate all the little thieves who come to steal our rice."

When the eagle came to ask for fish in the morning, Ji Ran told it, so it didn't go out to swim or build a nest, and stayed in Youranju.

"giagia"

The eagle took the order, flapped his wings, and flew to a nearby tree, trying his best to stay upright and be a good old man.

Ji Ran went back to the field.

When he came back from picking grain, the old man took his place in threshing.

Another load of millet was beaten.

Ji Ran cleared out the millet and transported it to Youranju.

Back at Youranju, Diao Zai had already killed seven or eight sparrows, and their bodies were piled under the tree.

"Well done! I'll reward you with a big grass carp tonight!"

Looking at the corpses of the sparrows, the mortal enemy of these peasant uncles, Ji Ran felt extremely happy.

Caressing a bird's head must be highly rewarded.

"gia~gia~"

The bird's head rubbed against Ji Ran's body, then he raised his head proudly, as if to say: Killing a little bird is easy and enjoyable for me, Brother Diao.

The eagle finished his pride and pointed his wings towards the corridor of the wooden house.

The bird raised its head even higher.

Ji Ran saw it.

I saw three chickens, two ducks and one goose lying in the corridor.

They were motionless, obviously having been transcended.

Ji Ran was immediately confused.

Why did the chickens, ducks and geese that were still fine when we brought back the last load of millet have developed diarrhea?

He glanced at the sand sculpture with the bird's head raised high.

Ji Ran moment...

I couldn't hold it back anymore, and sweared, "I...day!"

Raising his hand, he wanted to give the sand sculpture a hard slap, thinking of what he told him...

It's him who deserves the slap.

"When chickens, ducks and geese come to steal, you beat them until they dare not come again... Remember, you can't kill them anymore!"

Ji Ran changed the order with tears in his eyes.

Then boil the water with tears to shed the feathers of chickens, ducks and geese.

Fortunately, chickens and ducks weighed one or two catties, and geese reached three catties... There is still a lot of room for growth, but they are all dead, so what if they don't eat?

Silently dealt with the three birds, and then the sparrows.

For lunch and dinner on this day, I will eat all the feathers.

……

One day Saturday, busy from morning till night.

Two mounds of fields were harvested, covering an acre.

Ji Ran and the two elders estimated that the amount of millet in one acre of land after drying should be around [-] to [-] kilograms.

Ji Ran remembered that the yield per mu of one generation was about three thousand catties.

The second generation is six to seven hundred catties less...the growth rate is a lot slower than the first generation...

Well within the 'normal' range.

In the evening, Ji Ling and the others returned from traveling.

Ji Ran called them back. During the busy farming season, they were still waving wool!

I still remember that in the past, during spring plowing and autumn harvest, the middle-aged people who worked outside would come home to help.

On Sunday, the Autumn Harvest Brigade was strong and strong.

Ji Ling and Liu Wenjing were added.

Bian Shuya and Cai Yunxi also wanted to come, but Ji Ran told Ji Ling not to let them come... They forced themselves to come under Tong Jie's leadership.

In their words, the affairs of the chairman and the boss's family are their business...not to mention that the company is now in a state of bankruptcy, there is nothing wrong with it.

With the addition of five people...

They dug a hole in the east and a hole in the west in the field.

That's right, these five people did two jobs before digging loaches and eels.

Even the bean curd...

All of a sudden, the field was very lively, the girls and Douhua cheered, exclaimed, and bluffed one after another.

"Sister-in-law, come here quickly, this hole is so big!"

"Wow, this loach is so fat, it's as fat as my thumb!"

"Ah! I was bitten by a field eel! Damn field eel, dare to bite Miss Ben! I must dig you out!"

"Haha, look, everyone, I dug up a crayfish! How can a lobster dig holes in the mud?"

"..."

Looking at this group of soy sauces, Ji Ran couldn't laugh or cry.

……

on Monday.

Ji Ran then asked for leave for her daughter.

In the second grade class, my daughter has already learned a lot by herself, so it doesn't matter if she can't take the class.

A group of people continued to have fun in their busy work.

After Ji Ling and the others came back, the two elders responded to Ji Ran's strong request and did not come to the field again.

In the leisurely residence, they remove the grass hair, cook the food, and tease the dogs.

five days in a row.

Jiran's three or four acres of land and the family's one-acre field have all been harvested.

Wednesday night.

Stay leisurely and celebrate the completion of the autumn harvest.

After the sumptuous dinner, everyone was eating melon seeds and fruits in the pavilion, chatting about things.

"Brother, it's been more than ten days, I should have the bait." Ji Ling asked her brother expectantly while peeling the melon seeds.

Liu Wenjing, Bian Shuya, Cai Yunqi, and Tong Jie also looked at Ji Ran expectantly.

The days without the bait are boring, lonely, and confused. I feel that life has lost its color, life has lost hope, and days have lost its purpose.

"hold on."

Ji Ran has stored some of the millet that has been sun-dried and windmilled in the 'Pure Land' today, and plans to harvest a load of rice tomorrow, to taste the quality of the second-generation millet?

How about comparing it to one generation?

In the 'Pure Land', he took a look at the seeds of fragrant wheat grass.

The grass seeds grown in the early stage are already completely black; the grass seeds grown in the later stage are almost completely black.

Ji Ran plans to wait until all the grass seeds are completely black and harvest them all together.

Probably just a few days.

"I still have to wait."

Hearing this, Ji Ling frowned, and started the mode of crazily complaining.

"Brother, do you know that our account has lost a lot of followers during this period... from 800 million to almost below 3000 million!"

"And in the comment area of ​​the jokes posted by the account, the black fans are very rampant, saying that we are going to be finished, and that we will have to pay back sooner or later... In short, it is a matter of extreme cynicism."

"Those black guys in the entire fishing world are having a party...all..."

"That's right, there's also Deng Chuanzi, that guy has a live broadcast almost every two days these days!"

"That guy has now become a recognized ceiling again, a high-spirited person... He never forgets to make fun of us in every live broadcast... Looking at his villainous demeanor, I really want to follow the Internet and beat him up. There are teeth all over the floor!”

After talking a lot, Ji Ling got angry and punched the table hard, "Looking at these clowns, I got so angry that I just wanted to slap them in the face as hard as possible! Slap these idiots to death!"

Bian Shuya, a cute girl with a round face, clenched her fists in annoyance, "I want it too!"

"I want it even more!" The tall and beautiful Cai Yunqi agreed strongly angrily.

"And I."

Tong Jie followed weakly.

There was a serious imbalance of yin and yang in the company, and with the "small shoes" still worn on his feet, his status was pitifully low and he did not dare to speak loudly.

Compared with the four of them, Liu Wenjing was much calmer, "Okay, as soon as the bait from Cumin comes out... Hehe, Heizi and keyboard warriors will all shut up honestly... Deng Chuanzi, hehe , if he is dumbfounded... just let them run rampant for a few more days!"

Regarding all of this, Ji Ran didn't take it seriously at all, and asked Liu Wenjing, "Master Jing, what's going on over there?"

On the day when 'Master Meng Fishing Tackle' and 'Tongyan Daily Chemical' successively released magic baits to stop the lottery, Wen Feng called Ji Ran and asked about it.

I haven't been in touch since.

Ji Ran is not worried about Wendiao's situation, just as he is not worried about the situation of 'Cumin' and 'Master Meng' at all.

Wait until the magic bait comes out again, haha.

As for the 'children's daily use', there is no need to worry.

At that time, it will no longer need to rely on divine bait.

Once the aloe mask is launched, the formation, the scene, and the power are probably equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb with a huge equivalent in the world!

The entire daily chemical industry will be shaken!

"It's a very difficult time for fishing."

Liu Wenjing shook her head and said, "Wandiao has been jointly suppressed by more than a dozen big brands, including several major brands. Those bastards, who don't hesitate to pay for it, just want to kill Wendiao... Wendiao is now online. The current market share is shrinking sharply, and the sales volume is declining by thousands of miles...Wenfeng contacted me the day before yesterday, and he said that the current situation of Wendiao is not even as good as before."

After a pause, Liu Wenjing continued, "When Wen Diao cooperated with us, sales skyrocketed. In order not to delay their production capacity, they expanded the company's scale, added production lines, and hired a large number of manpower... However, now... Q Not only did Diao take part in the profits from the cooperation with us, but his capital... it can be said that Diao is in a miserable state now."

After listening to Liu Wenjing's words, Ji Ran frowned.

And Tong Yuanyuan's "Tong Yan Daily Chemical" will be surrounded and strangled by "Fanghua"... and other big brands have joined forces with many brands!

Relying on the number of people, right? Relying on the wealth and power, right?

good!Very good!

Ji Ran's eyes turned cold, looking at the deep night sky full of stars, "When the bait comes out, it's your first live broadcast, bring something to Wendiao."

"Okay." Liu Wenjing agreed.

After pondering, Ji Ran added, "By the way, don't post an announcement for the next live broadcast. It hasn't been long since Deng Yinzi was caught live, so let's start the broadcast directly."

When everyone heard the words, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood in an instant, and they were all excited.

It wasn't because the PK with Deng Chuanzi made them excited.

The main reason is that in the past ten days, watching Deng Chuanzi is too uncomfortable!
I’ve really wanted to beat him up.

"Since Wang Jiu's 'snake bite' incident last time, I have always wanted to have a fight with him face to face, but he has been shrinking back and dare not come out!"

Among them, Ji Ling was the most excited and murderous, "Hey, let's kill him suddenly this time and catch him off guard... Let's see what perfect excuse he can find to escape this time."
