cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 63
The sun in early summer has begun to show its initial power. The sun at nine o'clock is already very venomous, but it can be tolerated with a slight breeze, unlike the scorching sun on a hot day. On a sunny day, Zhang Wei walked by the paddy field, taking advantage of the water in the paddy field, but he didn't feel the heat at all.

In the hundreds of acres of rice fields here, you can find the paddy fields of Mr. Zhang’s family at once. The color of the rice seedlings is not only darker green than that of other people’s, but also the stems and leaves are thicker, which is much stronger than the rice in this paddy field. It's a lot higher.In just a few days, the rice has completely covered the entire field, and the water below cannot be seen.

This land is the most fertile rice field in Zhangwa Village. Not only is it convenient to release water, but after the research and treatment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the geology is also very suitable for planting rice. Mu, this paddy field is also the main source of grain for Zhangwa Village for a year.

The rice here in Zhangwa Village is basically mature in about four to five months, that is to say, there are at least three months before the rice matures. This is only the beginning of June, and the rice will mature in August and September. , just in golden autumn.

In fact, there are early rice and late rice. The maturity period of early rice is generally about 150 days, and that of late rice is about [-] days.It depends on the climate and conditions of each place. Because of the high temperature and fast maturity period in the south, there is no problem with three seasons a year. In Zhangwa Village, rice can only be planted for two seasons at most, and after the rice is grown, only some types of vegetables can be grown. For crops, because the fields need to be dried, under normal circumstances, people seldom plant things after harvesting rice.

Listening to the croaking of frogs and insects, Zhang Wei followed the breeze and walked to the rice field of Mr. Zhang's house.The rice seeds in the village are generally selected from the good rice in the village, and they keep their own seeds, or some people feel that their own seeds are not good, so they can buy new seeds, or use their own rice to replace other people’s good rice. However, when you change seeds, you usually give an extra four or five catties of rice. Of course, the reserved rice is better, and the grains are full. After peeling, you also get more rice. Giving you extra catties can be regarded as making up for the gap. This is a change of seed Unwritten rules.

Just like the rice in Mr. Zhang's family, many families have reserved rice seeds before they are mature.Mr. Zhang naturally agreed. If someone else ordered your rice seeds, you can’t refuse to give them. Otherwise, if your rice seeds feel bad and you are not willing to spend money to buy seeds, then you will have to exchange other people’s rice seeds. up.Therefore, in this regard, there is really no one who does not exchange seeds.

Zhang Wei looked at the obvious gap between Master Zhang and Lindi's rice. This year is another bumper harvest year. Zhang Wei raises fish in this rice field. Not only does the rice yield not decrease, it seems that if there is no natural disaster, the increase in yield and bumper harvest is certain. Master Zhang has exaggerated Zhang Wei more than once, saying that at that time it seemed that his decision was right.

However, Mr. Zhang also raised his own doubts. Why did Zhang Bing’s family raise fish in the paddy field and not only did the production decrease sharply, but also the fish seemed to be not very good. In the end, they lost money. Zhang Wei’s fish farming in the paddy field not only did not reduce the production of rice , and judging by the posture, the production needs to be increased. The small fish fry that have been put in the field have grown into windy fish after a few months.

What can Zhang Wei say?Although he couldn't bear to lie to Mr. Zhang, some things are better kept secret, so Zhang Wei explained everything in one word: science, this is the power of science.

So far, everyone in Zhangwa Village knows that Zhang Wei understands science and farmland technology. For this reason, many people have come to ask Zhang Wei about this technology, but what does Zhang Wei know?Someone in the village really came to ask him, and he couldn't tell how ugly he was, so he could only play haha, check the information on the Internet at night, and answer them the next day, but some information is still very helpful to the villagers .Therefore, many families in the village are thinking about preparing to raise rice and fish polyculture next year, and they are going to ask Zhang Wei to guide them at that time.

For this matter, the old village chief has been pestering Zhang Wei for a long time, asking Zhang Wei to guide everyone to raise some fish in the rice fields next year, Zhang Wei dare not agree to this request even if he runs the train with his mouth full.Unless he also sprinkled a few handfuls of soil in everyone's rice fields to improve the soil and water quality, otherwise, even if Zhang Wei said it again, he would not be able to raise Zhang Wei to the same level if he changed his family.Even if you can make money, you will definitely not be able to harvest both rice fields and fish.

For this reason, Zhang Wei also spread the word that next year he will not be farming in the rice field, because according to scientific speculation, the climate next year is not suitable for farming in the rice field.Believe it or not, anyway, Zhang Wei did not promise everyone to raise fish in the rice fields, and Zhang Wei has already stated that he will not raise fish in the rice fields next year, so gradually everyone will stop talking about this issue.

Zhang Wei, a guy who loves fish, doesn't raise fish in the rice fields anymore, because he has a fish pond under planning, so why bother to raise them in Master Zhang's rice fields?Besides, Keke's parents may come back in a while. After all, Zhang Wei has never met or contacted them, and he doesn't know their temper. I'm so used to it now.

Seeing that the rice in Mr. Zhang’s rice field is growing well, everyone wants to save the seeds. Zhang Wei is also thinking about whether to save some of the rice planted in his space next year for Mr. Zhang to plant two acres. Let's see what's going on.After all, even if Master Zhang's rice in the rice field is the best in the village, even so, it can't compare with the rice in Zhang Wei's mustard.The rice in Zhangwei mustard seed has stronger branching ability, and the stems and leaves are thicker.

The aquatic plants in the paddy fields are still growing vigorously, and there are also many bugs in the paddy fields, and bugs from other places are still flying here. After a month of feeding all meat, these black fish fry have not only become lazy like pigs. character, and fed them all fat.

At this time, the fish in the paddy fields are two or three times larger than when they first entered the paddy fields. Mr. Zhang said that the big ones may grow to three or four taels. When the fish are harvested, they may grow to a catty about half.Because black fish is carnivorous, as long as there is food, it can grow twice as fast as ordinary fish.Even the rice field eels that used to be as thick as chopsticks have now grown to the thickness of fingers. It is estimated that the rice field eels and black fish will be edible by next month.

Squatting on the ridge of the rice field, Zhang Wei looked at the black fish that jumped up to eat bugs from time to time, Zhang Wei's saliva almost flowed down from greed. Fortunately, Zhang Wei asked Sun Xiaolei to bring him some fish and shrimp from the provincial capital in the morning. Of course, Zhang Wei still likes to eat poultry such as chickens and ducks raised by himself in the countryside. The chickens in Mr. Zhang’s backyard weigh more than one catty, and the big ones weigh two catties. Such chickens are tender and delicious.

After looking at the fish for a while, Zhang Wei started to check for dark water channels along the ridge of the field, and picked up those egg-sized snails. The snails were picked up once a week, and each time he could pick up a small basket. Strange, did he grow the snail so fast himself, or did he crawl over from somewhere else.

There are small snails crawling on the stems and leaves of the grass in the rice field. Many black fish can eat small snails as long as they touch the leaves of the grass. Snails, but there are not only little snails, but there are more of them.

Seeing the frogs that were scared away by his arrival, Master Zhang said that they are called frogs here. At this time, the frogs have just woken up from hibernation for a long time, and they are still thin. There is another delicacy in it, frog chicken, which is delicious.

Zhang Wei looked at the frogs scurrying around in the field following his arrival, and silently prayed that the frog would grow fat soon, so that he would be able to eat the delicious frog chicken that Master Zhang said one day earlier, Master Zhang It is delicious, it must be delicious, absolutely delicious.
