cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 82 Watermelon seeds that do not germinate (1)

Not to mention, catching frogs is really a technical job. This frog is not easy to catch, just like when you see a frog squatting there, it will jump away before you get close to it. , and it goes far away when you jump, and it stops until you can't see it, and there is one jumping, and all the frogs in this area will jump into it, so frogs can't be caught, they have to be caught.

Fishing for frogs is different from fishing. You have to be still while fishing for frogs, but you have to move when fishing for frogs. Frogs have very special eyes. They usually eat moving insects, and as long as they bite them, they will swallow them without letting go. Therefore, fishing for frogs requires active use. Insects are most suitable, dead insects are also fine, you have to shake the fishing rod from time to time to make the insects move and look like they are alive, so that the frogs are willing to eat them.

Another thing is that you can’t use hooks to catch frogs, but use silk threads to tie insects. The rope should not be too short, otherwise you can’t hide it, and it will be troublesome if you scare away a large number of frogs.The only reason why the fishhook is not used is because the frog swallows the worm when it sees it, and it swallows it in one bite. If a hook is used, it is bound to hook the internal organs of the frog in one go. The frog was dragged to death, and it was very troublesome. I didn't want to fish, so the hook was hung on the mouth, and it was taken off gently.

But it’s different to tie the worms directly with silk thread. The frog is just a rectum from the mouth to the stomach. As long as you pull it hard twice, the worms can be pulled out of the frog’s stomach. Can be used again.Otherwise, if you catch a frog and catch a worm, it’s not too troublesome, but you don’t want to fish when you catch a frog. If you are a veteran and there are enough frogs, it is probably no problem to catch half a bucket in the morning.

Of course, Zhang Wei is a [-]% novice, and this is the first time he has heard of frog fishing.So, Zhang Wei asked Mr. Zhang to go to the barren beach to help collect some materials delivered this morning. Then he found a small bamboo pole, four or five meters long, and found some silk thread from Mr. Zhang's house, and went to the vegetable field in the yard to find some bamboo poles. A few worms, holding a bucket with a lid in one hand, are holding a simple fishing rod to catch frogs.

Just as Zhang Wei opened the door here, the bicycle of the village chief Zhang Yourong squeaked and stopped: "Xiaowei, what are you doing here? You are carrying buckets and resisting poles? There is not much fishing in our river." What a fish. It’s a waste of work to go.”

"Oh, village head, I'm not going fishing. You see, I don't even have a hook to fish? I'm not Jiang Taigong and his old man. Isn't the village busy with land preparation and planning for greenhouses? Why do you come to me when you have time? It’s time for a stroll, I remember you haven’t come for several days.” Zhang Wei put down the bucket and fishing rod, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the village head Zhang Yourong.

Zhang Yourong felt that he and Zhang Wei were very used to it, and never knew how to be polite, so he casually took the cigarette and lit it, holding it in his mouth.A little puzzled, he asked: "Why don't you go fishing and get a fishing rod? There's really nothing to catch in our village right now. I'm talking about the snakehead fish in your field, which is not enough to eat even if you mix them up. The big ones only weigh half a catty. .”

"If you don't fish, you can't catch other things? The frogs almost robbed me of all the worms I fed the fish. I went to catch the frogs. I heard from Master Zhang that the taste of the frogs is not bad. I'm going to come back and get some to taste. How about. Go to the village chief, sit in the yard and cut a melon to eat.” Zhang Wei put down his things, took out the key, and was about to open the locked gate.

"Well, yes, you can also catch frogs at this time of the year. I've been too busy to forget about it these days. If it weren't for the fish in your field, no one would allow children to catch it. I guess the frogs in your field would have already I’ve caught all the fish for the little boy, so Xiaowei, don’t open the door. I don’t have time to eat melons today, so hurry up and go to my house with me.” In the past, when Zhang Wei said to cut melons, the village chief never knew what to do. You're being polite, but today Village Chief Zhang doesn't seem to be eating melons, which makes Zhang Wei a little puzzled.

"If the village chief has anything to say, just say it, and I will do it if I can." Since the village chief says he can't go in, the door won't be opened.

"Let's go, go to my house. Let's talk as we walk. I'm worried about this. This is the first shot in the village." The village chief pushed up his bicycle and was about to leave. Zhang Wei saw this posture, and the village chief really felt If there is something urgent, it’s okay if you don’t go, just go. As soon as Zhang Wei puts his things at the door, he is ready to go to his house with the village chief. Mom and dad will arrive tomorrow. There is no rush to touch snails or catch frogs. Yes, anyway, no one will steal the bucket and fishing rod at the door.

Speaking of which, this is really a big deal, and even Zhang Wei feels it is very strange. The village head Zhang Yourong collected watermelon seeds from Zhang Wei's family, and planned to plant them in the planned field in the east of the village this year. Everyone knew about it and supported it. , now the big guys are working in full swing for this.Because the biogas digester has not been built yet, let alone the biogas residue used as fertilizer. However, the village chief originally waited for the biogas digester to be built before starting to plan and plant in a unified way, but Zhang Wei's watermelon made him see hope, so, Let's go one step ahead, and plan to plant a crop of watermelons in advance, so that we can harvest a crop of late watermelons in autumn. This matter is discussed with everyone. It's okay, and it is estimated that it will make money.

So, the big guys made the whole place, and then built the frame of the greenhouse by the way, and then built the greenhouse early, and covered it with a film when the frost fell in autumn, to see if it could extend the growth time of the watermelon for a period of time.So, in order to plant the watermelon on the ground as soon as possible, the village head Zhang Yourong took the collected watermelon seeds back and prepared to raise seedlings at home.

Speaking of raising seedlings, it's not a difficult task. Who doesn't grow cucumbers and tomatoes, and they are all planted in the ground after seedlings are raised, because the weather is still a bit cold in early spring, if they are planted directly outside , It must have been frozen, but I still want to eat and serve food early, so everyone raised some seedlings in their own houses.Or set up a small plot in the yard and surround the plot with plastic, which can also play a role in insulation.When the weather is warm, it can be transplanted directly into the ground, and the harvest can be harvested ten days and a half months in advance.

Of course, it is summer now, so there is no need for any heat preservation measures. The village chief took the melon seeds home and soaked them in rice bran and then bred watermelon seeds in them. There are enough melon seeds to germinate and emerge, and they will not hurt the roots when they are planted. Therefore, everyone basically uses rice bran to soak in water to raise seedlings.

Originally, the matter of raising seedlings was quite simple, but Village Chief Zhang saw that the field was almost tidied up, and the watermelon seeds he had planted were almost a week old. Village Chief Zhang looked through them every day and took good care of them, but this watermelon The seeds are always as bright as before, and there is no sign of sprouting. If there are bad melon seeds, it is normal for some of the watermelon seeds not to germinate, but these melon seeds are not only not bad, but all of them are quite plump.Originally, the melon seedlings should have sprouted and grown long, but the melon seeds are still as fresh as before, as if they have just been put in, do you think this is strange.

The village head is depressed. When the time comes, the land will be sorted out. If the seedlings can’t come out, what can you do? There’s no way. Everyone says that Zhang Wei understands science and technology. He is Zhang Wei, let Zhang Wei come and guide him.
