Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 721 Met Expectations

The next morning, Wang An put on his clothes and went straight into the bathroom.

I have to say, when I got up early in the morning, I felt a strong urge to poop or pee.

After a violent defecation, Wang An felt his whole body was clear.

After coming out of the toilet, Wang An went to the grove where ginseng was planted.

Except for the sixth and fifth grade leaves, which were planned to be made into dried ginseng for preservation to prevent accidents, the fourth grade leaves and those below were planted by Wang Dazhu in this grove.

In fact, the best way to preserve ginseng is to replant it in the soil, because only in this way can the medicinal ingredients of ginseng be completely preserved and not lost.

If ginseng is made into dried ginseng, it is not only very troublesome to preserve it, but the loss of medicinal ingredients is also inevitable.

Of course, theoretically speaking, dried ginseng has no shelf life, which means that as long as it is well preserved, it will retain its medicinal properties.

In fact, wild ginseng is not that delicate. On the contrary, it is very hardy. You can imagine that if wild ginseng did not have very strong vitality, it would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment in the wild.

After a few days, there was no change in the ginseng planted in the soil. Wang An took a look and went back to the house.
After washing up and having breakfast, Wang Dazhu and his wife, Wang Li, and Shen Wei all came over.

After hooking up the rice transplanters to the two walk-behind tractors, a group of seven people set out to plant rice seedlings.

Wang Daliang was driving a hand tractor and Yao Ping was sitting next to him. Wang Dazhu was also driving a hand tractor and Liu Guilan was sitting next to him.

Wang Li and Shen Wei got on Wang An's sidecar.

Just because Wang An wanted to drive a cart in the fields, Liu Guilan scolded him.

Just as Wang An was kicking the sidecar to warm up the car, Liu Guilan subconsciously said:
"You want to ride a motorcycle down to the ground?"

Wang An answered casually:

"Yeah, this thing will break easily if you don't ride it often."

Liu Guilan said with an unhappy look on her face:
"Why are you riding a motorcycle when you can plant rice seedlings in the fields?"

Wang An smiled and said:

"Mom, do you mean for the three of us to walk there?"

Liu Guilan said unhappily:

"Then just stand on the rice transplanter for a while. Besides, we have ten big animals at home, who can't pull a cart? Can't we harness a cart?"

Wang An still said with a smile on his face:
"I'm telling you, mom, if you get a motorcycle, you have to ride it every day. Otherwise, what's the point of having it? Don't you think so? Besides, it will be useless in winter."

Liu Guilan would not listen to Wang An's words, and said with a displeased look on her face:

"What? That thing needs oil, right? Oil doesn't cost money."

Wang An shook his head and said very proudly:
"If I don't spend money, why should I spend money? If I run out of gas someday, I'll ask my eldest sister and Wu Dong for it. If anyone dares not to give me any, I'll blame him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan shut up instantly.

Maybe Liu Guilan suddenly realized that oil was not a big deal for her eldest son.

After thinking for a while, Liu Guilan said:
"Then how can you be so shameless as to ask for it from others?"

Wang An smiled as if it was natural:
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's their honor that I ask them for something. They all want me to ask them for something."

Although Wang An said this in a joking manner, he had to admit that it was true. Putting aside other things, the favor of gold alone was not something they could repay in a short time.

So as soon as Wang An said this, no one, whether it was Wang Dazhui and his wife, Wang Daliang and his wife, or Wang Li and Shen Wei, showed any questioning expression.

Of course, Shen Wei did not question it only because she believed in Wang An. She didn't know anything else.

Seeing that my mother wanted to say something but couldn't form any words, Wang An said with a smile:

"When I have some free time, I'll teach my dad how to ride this thing. Then I'll let my dad pull you around. Think about it, isn't it exciting?"

It has to be said that Wang An's words actually caught Liu Guilan's soft spot.

Liu Guilan said with a happy face:

"I want to go to your uncle's place. Can I go there riding this thing?"

Wang An was stunned when he heard this. The main reason was that there was nothing wrong with this thing in theory, but riding a motorcycle for a long time would make your butt hurt. Fortunately, it wasn't his butt that hurt.

So Wang An smiled and said, "Of course it can be done."

It can be seen that Liu Guilan is full of anticipation for being able to visit her brother.

After everyone arrived at the rice field, they cut the small rice seedlings in the field with the mud skin into strips, then shoveled them down and put them on the tray of the rice transplanter. Wang An drove a hand tractor and started the experiment.

Only after all the rice seedlings in the tray were inserted into the mud and water did everyone start to check them one by one.

Of course, Wang An was also a little nervous.

After all, the rice transplanters at that time were different from those in later generations, and the rice transplanter modified by Wang An could only be said to be very feasible in theory.

But theory is just theory. Only when it is put into practice can it really work.

Fortunately, after everyone checked, they all looked happy and no one showed any behavior of replenishing the seedlings.

This is enough to prove that the modification of this rice transplanter was truly successful.

For Wang An, the result met his expectations and he could finally put his mind at ease.

Second Mother Yao Ping smiled and praised:
"Xiao An really knows how to do everything. He even managed to fix a rice transplanter that many people can't fix. When we plant rice in the future, we finally don't have to dig it in the mud for several days."

Wang Daliang also said with a smile on his face:
"I know this rice transplanter. Only our Xiao An can figure it out. Others are talking nonsense. Hahaha. Now we can plant rice without any worries in the future."

It has to be admitted that Wang An's modified rice transplanter is almost a generation ahead of the rest in the rice transplanter industry.

Because according to normal development, this type of mechanical rice transplanter was still not very perfect until the 90s.

To put it simply, the vast majority of people still don't really approve of this thing.

Wang An smiled and said:
"I have to thank my father for making this happen. If he hadn't stepped in at the critical moment, this rice transplanter wouldn't even be usable today."

Wang An directly transferred the credit to Wang Dazhu, which made Wang Dazhu very happy.

I almost made my nose bubble again.

Although Liu Guilan was also very happy, she didn't say anything. The main reason was that Liu Guilan had questioned Wang An repeatedly before, and now she felt a little sorry for her eldest son.

Of course, Wang An doesn't care about these. What Wang An cares about is that he can plant rice without bending over or sticking out his butt.
