Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 68 is so complicated!

"Don't bother, I'll just use the hoe. Anyway, I don't plan to plant too much this year. I'll just plant two or three acres in the mountains and more than one acre in the paddy fields."

"Didn't you say last time that you would plant five acres of mountain land and two acres of paddy fields?" Tian Hao said, "Besides, my parents used to open up more than 20 acres of mountain land, so we can't throw it away, right?"

"In the past, you were the only one farming the land, so there was no way. Now that there is a way, you can't leave it alone anymore!"

"You don't want to plant more than 20 acres of land, do you?" Wang Xiuying was shocked.

Tian Hao smiled and said: "Of course, with the cultivator, more than 20 acres can be plowed in only five or six days."

After saying that, he went out first.

Wang Xiuying had no choice but to follow.

Tian Shilei and Yang Sihai followed behind carrying baskets that they were preparing to go into the mountains. The baskets contained a lot of equipment for going into the mountains.

Tian Hua and Tian Daming also wanted to see the scene of cultivators plowing the land, but they couldn't walk that far without help.

More than 20 minutes later, Tian Hao and others arrived at the field.

These days, Wang Xiuying has dug more than an acre of mountainous land by herself, and is preparing to plant corn and red potatoes in the land.

Seeing the neat strips of land dug out by Wang Xiuying in the field, Tian Hao couldn't help but praise Wang Xiuying for her ability.

"What can I do here? I can only do some dead farm work, and there is no future at all." Wang Xiuying said.

"Don't be afraid! As long as I'm here, you will be successful soon."

Tian Hao then pushed the cultivator into the ground that had not yet been dug, and then began to explain in detail the operation method of this small cultivator.

"Ours is a hand-pulled cultivator. There is a pull ring on the front. You only need to pull the pull ring up to start the machine."

"Before starting, release the clutch, put the gear lever in the neutral position, then turn on the ignition switch and open the accelerator to the 1/2-1/3 position."

"There is also a choke here. When starting, it is best to close it, or leave a gap of about 3 millimeters."

"After everything is ready, start pulling the starting rope, which is the pull ring. First pull it slowly a few times to get used to it, and then pull it up quickly and hard, and the machine will start."

Tian Hao was talking and operating.

Sure enough, as the starting rope was quickly pulled to the end, the cultivator made a loud noise, and streams of black smoke came out of the air door.

"At this time, don't plow the land in a hurry. Let it run at low speed for a few minutes. Check the machine for abnormal noises, oil leakage, loose bolts and other abnormal phenomena. If there is any abnormality, stop it immediately, check and eliminate it, and repair it. Use again.”

Tian Hao continued,

"If there is nothing abnormal, just adjust the height of the handle to a comfortable position. There is a thread here that can be adjusted."

“Once it’s adjusted, you can change gears, increase the accelerator, slowly engage the clutch and start plowing.”

"When plowing, you can't move too fast, otherwise the soil will not be crushed enough. At this time, you can press the handle down. If there is too much mud and you can't move forward, you can lift the handle up and move the handle left and right. The tiller Then we can move forward again.”

Listening to Tian Hao's explanation, Wang Xiuying felt as if she was listening to a book from heaven, and said with a grimace: "It's so complicated!"

It’s the accelerator again, the clutch again, the gearshift again…

It's the choke, it's the starting rope, it's the handle that moves up and down...

It sounds so loud.

Tian Hao said: "It's not complicated. This is actually a fool's operation, but I made it a bit complicated."

"Come on, I'll teach you step by step again, and you'll learn it soon." Wang Xiuying was resisting in her heart, but she couldn't stop Tian Hao's enthusiasm, so she had to be patient and learn slowly.

At first, she was really slow to learn, but after trying it out a few times, she gradually got the hang of it and it suddenly became easy.

Not to mention, it is much faster and easier for people than digging the ground manually.

But there are also many shortcomings.

First, the noise is relatively loud, sudden, and annoying.

The second is fuel consumption.

One acre of land requires three liters of diesel!

At this time, No. 0 diesel is generally used, and the price is [-] cents per liter, and one acre of land costs [-] yuan!

Wang Xiuying felt it was too wasteful and her heart was bleeding!

What's more, this cultivator is tiring after being used for a long time.

Not only were my hands numb from the shock, but my waist was also very tired... Sometimes, it was better to dig the ground by hand.

The only advantage may be that it digs the ground faster!
"Don't worry about money. Once the land is dug out, we can grow more crops such as corn and sweet potato, and then we can raise more pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. The small pond next to our house is used to raise Order fish, and we will never be short of meat from now on." Tian Hao said with a smile.

"You do know how to dream! Farming, raising pigs, chickens, ducks, and fish. Who will do so much work?" Wang Xiuying retorted.

"Don't worry, mechanization will be implemented in the future. In fact, there won't be too much to do. If it is really too busy, we will hire someone to do it." Tian Hao said.

"Hire someone to do it? Do you think you are the big boss?"

Wang Xiuying felt that Tian Hao was getting more and more out of control as he talked.

"Sister, based on my master's ability, he will definitely be the big boss in the future!" Yang Sihai said loudly.

Tian Shilei also helped: "Sister-in-law, if you want to hire someone, hire me. I can do all the work!"

"Just support him, and then he will be laughed at." Wang Xiuying glanced at the two of them, feeling that the three of them were venting their anger from the same nostril, and was too lazy to argue with them, so she urged, "You are not Do you want to go into the mountains? Go quickly, otherwise it will be too late and it will be dark again when you come back."

"Honey, are you sure you have learned it?" Tian Hao asked worriedly.

"You said this is a fool's errand, can I still learn it?"

Wang Xiuying had made up her mind. Although she had learned it, she didn't want to waste oil, so after Tian Hao left, she put the cultivator aside and continued digging with her bare hands.

Tian Hao didn't notice anything unusual about Wang Xiuying. Seeing that she had indeed learned it, he took Tian Shilei and Yang Sihai to the mountains.

At this time, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the morning, so we really needed to speed up a bit.

Laoyaling is more than 30 miles away from Tianba Village, and the roads are all bushy and not easy to walk.

Just as the three of them were hurrying on their way, Tian Sanshou had already moved [-] kilograms of bamboo shoots onto the tractor, and he felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Fortunately, when you sit on the tractor, you don't have to worry about it, and you can squint and sleep for a while.

Staggering, we arrived at the county before we knew it.

Tian Sanshou commanded the tractor to drive directly to the square on Second Street with familiarity. Then, he got off the car and went straight to the Blind Man's Restaurant.

However, when he arrived at the Blind Man's Restaurant, he found that the Blind Man's Restaurant was closed.
