Chapter 14
Zhang An was also looking at the seedlings in a daze, looked up and came over quickly when he saw it, Shen said: "Young master is dressed so richly and cleanly, how can he do such dirty work, don't make things difficult for us, turn around We can't afford to offend Mrs. Zhang."

Zhang An also said with a bitter face: "Young master, you are considerate of the villain. If you go back with muddy water, the villain will not run away if I give you a board. If you really want to go to the ground, let me go back first." I have asked the eldest lady for permission, okay?"

Young Master Zhang was disturbed by these people, he lost all interest at the moment, so he had to be served by Zhang An and put on his shoes and socks, and sat under the holly tree for a long time without saying a word.

The Hushens and the others ate and tidied up neatly, and the children went home with their crock pots, and the Hushens also went home together. They wanted to carry the rice transplanter to the field, and the daughter said it would be fine in the afternoon. After transplanting rice seedlings, we need to bring a few net bags to carry the rice seedlings to the paddy fields.

Needless to say, when Dahu was pulling the rice transplanter to transplant rice seedlings in the field, the ridge of the Hu family was full of people as if they were watching a big show. Several people were about to fall into the field. Adults and children watched Holding that strange machine, it was put into the field. Dahu untied the handle of the seedlings, stacked the roots neatly on the wooden boards on both sides in two rows, and then pulled the machine backwards. Wherever it passed, the seedlings were planted straight in the mud. Neatly like planting leeks, half of the seedling leaves are exposed, five clusters in a row, and three in a cluster.

Everyone really can't understand, it's obviously rice, but this kind of planting method is unheard of, let alone seen, before seeing the Hu family planting the rice so densely, and worrying that there is no place for tillers to grow like that , I didn't expect that people moved to another place to replant, but the planting was so sparse. If this is the case, how many ears of rice will be lost in one mu of land?There are also those ditches and pits that have been dug, and the depth of the dug is definitely not suitable for planting rice, so isn't the reserved space all wasted?
No, then the Hu family must have other arrangements, but no one can guess what the arrangement is.

Young Master Zhang just had a rest today, so there is no need to rush back. He forgot to sulk when he saw the rice transplanter was brought up, and Zhang An took care of him. He wanted to see the seedlings on the machine, and Da Hu dragged the rice transplanter to plant the rice seedlings, and he wanted to go to the field to try, but fortunately Zhang An stopped him.

Yang Feier looked at the trouble, and explained to him helplessly: "The rice fields are all made flat. If people step on it, there will be mud pits, which will affect the roots of the seedlings and cause the seedlings to float."

Young Master Zhang spent so long at the Hu family, and participated in the manufacture and testing of the rice transplanter, so he naturally knew what floating seedlings meant, so he didn't bother anymore, but he was still restless, and he followed the rice transplanter wherever he went. Seeing the rows of seedlings spit out from the machine that I personally participated in making, I feel a little more proud than being praised by my master and master.

Within two days, after the seedlings were planted, the woman in charge was asked to buy fish flowers and put them in the fish pit at a density of 2000 per mu. First, they were blocked with nets, and then removed after the rice tillers had grown, so as not to damage the young seedlings.

The fish flowers released are mainly grass carp, carp, gibel and catfish beard, all of which are herbivorous or miscellaneous species, suitable for paddy farming.

Yang Feier has long been optimistic that the paddy field in Tangjia Village is adjacent to the Tangxi River, and there is a Lingjie Lake on it. The water source is sufficient, the water quality is good, and the water intake and drainage are convenient, which can ensure the harvest in drought and flood.The ridges and bottoms of the paddy fields are covered with black mud and yellow mud, not sandy soil, with good water retention and no water leakage.Moreover, the paddy fields of Hu's family are all made by Zhang's family, and they are concentrated and contiguous for easy management.And the light conditions here are good, which is also very beneficial to the growth of field fish.Although the agriculture is not as developed as in the previous life, there are various chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but as long as the field management is done well in the middle, there should be a better harvest.

In addition, although agriculture in the previous life was high-yield, it was not beneficial to human health, so it is better to keep the original ecology.

Since the seedlings were planted and fish flowers were placed, the whole family focused on the few acres of paddy fields. After the original seedling fields were planted, they also planted seedlings. There were still Xiao Bantian's seedlings, so they had to pull them out and chop them up for feeding. Those chickens, Yang Feier also remembered in his heart that if this method works, it will only be about [-] catties when soaking seeds next year, and any excess will be a waste.

I heard Yang Feier said that pumpkins and yams can be planted on the ridge of the field, but in summer, it can shade the fish, which just makes up for the loss of the half acre of dry land. It is not too late to replant it quickly, and it saves my heart Pity.

I also heard that the duckweed in the Yangfeierdao River, the rapeseed cake left over from rapeseed oil extraction, and the bran left over from pounding rice and flour can be used as fish food. Whenever the family has time, they go to catch the duckweed. Sprinkle it with rapeseed cake and bran into the fish pit to feed the fish.

As for the management of the rice field, it is still the same. The matter has come to this point, so we have to take good care of it and do our best to obey the destiny. Everyone in the village can watch it helplessly.

When the seedlings were just planted, they saw the seedlings gradually turning yellow. Father Hu and the others were so anxious that they couldn’t sleep at night. They knew that the seedlings were going to wither. To verify, when it comes to the autumn harvest, just watch other people's homes carrying grain home in bags, and you have to pay for money to buy food, and then you will be laughed at.Although Father Hu and the others didn't say anything, they were frowning and sighing.

Yang Feier said nothing, just wait and see.

The whole family couldn't think about it, so they had to wait with their hearts like boiling oil. Fortunately, after two or three days, the seedlings gradually turned green again, and the family let go of the heart that was about to dry up, and watched the seedlings grow taller and tiller. Gradually, we could see the difference from the rice fields of the surrounding villagers. The rice seedlings in other fields were only half a foot long and thin, while the rice seedlings in my own field were more than a foot high, dark and thick. Gradually rejoiced and increased confidence.

As the weather gets hotter day by day, the seedlings grow more and more green and fluffy. The original space between each hole is one foot, and the upper rice leaves gradually connect to form a piece. The growth is gratifying, and it can just shade the fish.

Papa Hu and the others have nothing else to do except go to the market in the morning to sell shrimps and come back to feed the fish, but they still have to walk around the rice fields with a shovel on their shoulders every day.For a while, check to see if there are voles and eels digging holes to prevent water leakage and fish. The family was amazed, and the villagers also came to check.

Those old crop handles, squatting for a day, feel incredible, and gradually there are groups of people in the nearby villages to see it. Before they reach the field, they can see a thick green and abrupt print on the surrounding shallow verdant trees from a distance. Among them, when I squatted on the ridge of the field and looked closely, I saw that the rice stalks were strong and straight, the rice leaves were dark green and barbs were thick and hard, and there were small fish swimming among the fluffy rice trees. Make a splash, splash the water directly on the face, and the field water is clean, there are almost no weeds, mosquitoes, insects, and lice. According to the Hu family, they are all eaten by the field fish. Really make the best use of everything, symbiosis and mutual benefit , all envious, but I don't know the result for the time being.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang, Young Master Zhang and others have returned to Fucheng. It is said that there are ice cubes stored in his house in Fucheng, which can be used to escape the heat.Besides, the growth of the crops and fish has always been reported by the woman in charge, and she already knows it in her heart. If there are no natural disasters, just wait for the autumn harvest to see how much the increase in production and income will increase. As for Mr. Zhang, he is naturally very proud. This method is his own. He contributed a lot to benefiting the country and the people in the future. Although he didn't want to go back to Fucheng with his mother, Mrs. Zhang couldn't rest assured that it wasn't because the tiger was not at home and the monkey was called the king. Who could control him, so he just brought him gone.

Young Master Zhang reluctantly bid farewell to the children of the Hu family. After getting along with him for a long time, the children have completely changed their attitude towards his previous bully behavior. Besides, they don’t have many playmates on weekdays. It’s really true. Somewhat reluctant, Young Master Zhang turned to comfort them and said that as long as the hot weather was over, he would come back in a short time. According to everyone's interest, he gave Hu Kang a few academy textbooks with annotations, and another I bought a few miscellaneous notebooks from Yang Feier, and felt that the twins were still young, so they each gave them a small bow and arrow to play with, which actually suited the two children's wishes, like a baby.

Hu Kang felt it was impolite to come and not to go, but he didn't know what gift to give back for a while, Yang Feier thought for a while, then took out the foldable sundial, and said: "Brother, just give this as a gift. , Although it is not worth much, it is also unique and novel, I think Mr. Zhang will not dislike it." Hu Kang said: "That's okay, not to mention that you made it with great difficulty. For a man?" Yang Feier said: "It's okay, I'll do it again, when you give it to him, you don't have to say it's mine, just say you made it yourself, and keep it with you all the time. Besides, don't give this away Is there anything else to give away?" Hu Kang hesitated to take it, but he was helpless, books are expensive commodities, not to mention his own textbooks, which were annotated by famous teachers today, among the students, It is a priceless treasure. After thinking about it, I had to follow my sister's instructions and give the sundial to Young Master Zhang.

Young Master Zhang really likes it very much, he can't put it down, showing off all kinds of things, Mrs. Zhang also likes it when she sees it, people who are used to doing business, naturally they will not miss such a good opportunity, but they think that the materials used for children's things are cheap, so they ordered people to use gold and silver as the same I made a few of them, and inlaid them with various kinds of jewels. They are exquisite and gorgeous. I put them in my own jewelry shop to see the market reaction. Mr. Zhang didn’t like such vulgar things at first, but after thinking about it, he also bought one for his own use. The original version made of bamboo and wood was packed in a sandalwood box and stored in the dark room he dug on the wall, and he never took it out again.

In the twinkling of an eye, the fish were almost squeezed out. Father Hu was worried, so he discussed at home that he wanted to build a shed under the holly tree to watch the fish in order to prevent them from being stolen. Yang Feier vetoed it for two reasons. It is not safe to be under the tree. There are many thunderstorms in summer. There is only one tree in the wilderness, which may cause lightning and damage the hut.Secondly, I was also afraid that there would be wolves coming down the mountain, and Father Hu would not be able to protect himself alone.

But so many fish are stocked in the shallow fields, and they grow up in groups, which will attract people's mouth.Father Hu insisted on his own opinion that he would go home when it rained, and this place was three or four miles away from the mountains. Few wolves would run so far into the fields without any danger.

This stubborn old man couldn't resist, so he had to build a low shed far away from the tree, built a bamboo summer bed with a mosquito net, a broken pillow and an old sheet, and a hatchet for cutting trees. , and that's it.After all, Hu Kang brought a lot of firewood from home, and if a wolf came, he would light the firewood, which could not only stop him for a while, but also inform Da Hu who was sleeping outside the house.

Da Hu was worried about keeping his family with his wife and children when he came to watch the fish, so he had no choice but to do so.

It just so happened that Uncle Tang’s bitch, Rhubarb, gave birth to a litter of four puppies, and when she didn’t know where to throw them, Yang Feier asked the twins to ask for two little male dogs to keep them, one black and white and one common. The black one, the one with black and white flowers is kept at home, Yang Feier named it Xiaohua very carefully, and Father Hu brought a completely black one, so it was logically called Xiaohei.The puppy grows fast, and it only takes a few months to bark and deter thieves. Even if it can't fight for a while, it can be used as an alarm temporarily.
