Chapter 34 Planting Seedlings (2)

Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao stopped being busy with the insecticide potion workshop. Qin Zhongyuan and other clan elders did not force them either. After all, they handed over the prescription to the clan and participated in the construction of the workshop. This is already very good. They did not The father and son must be tied to the workshop.

What's more, the most important thing for farmers is the crops in the field. Now that Qin Muzhang and the others want to go home to grow rice, there is no need for them to stop them.

Since Qin Muzhang and his son stopped working at the insecticide potion workshop, they started to work on their paddy fields.

The paddy fields have been soaking in water for almost a month, and now the father and son can plow more easily with the new plow improved by Qin Muzhang.

After being busy for several days, Qin Muzhang and his son plowed the eight mu of paddy fields several times, while Chen Qiuxiang, Wang Mingya, and Qin Muyu moved the small benches to pull out the seedlings in the seedling field. After Qin Muzhang and the others plowed the field You can plant rice seedlings.

Qin Muyu can't do heavy work, such as picking seedlings to the field, throwing seedlings, or transplanting rice seedlings, but he can still pull out seedlings while sitting on the seedbed.

So after the seedlings had been plucked enough to plant part of them, Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya put the seedlings into the bamboo baskets, and carried them to the plowed field to prepare for planting. Qin Muyu himself continued to sit on the small bench to pull out the seedlings. seedling.

Moreover, when pulling out the seedlings, Qin Muyu had a cattail fan beside him. He used the leaves of a relatively large cattail to make a big cattail fan that could be used as an umbrella, so Qin Muyu was working under the cover of the cattail fan at the moment. Don't worry about getting sunburned.

After pulling enough seedlings, they were tied up with straw ropes and placed in the small ditch next to them to soak. Qin Muyu looked at the family members who were busy preparing for planting, pursed their lips and continued to pull out the seedlings.

He also wants to help with planting, but he is not in good health and has never planted before. Now he can only pull out the seedlings, and planting is impossible.

Even, his technique of pulling out the seedlings was only good after two days of careful practice. In the previous two days, he was careful and careful, and he was worried that he might damage the seedlings if he accidentally pulled them out, and that the seedlings he pulled out would not be good root system.

Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya threw bundles of rice seedlings in the field, and then they rolled up their trouser legs and went to the field to plant rice seedlings.

The Great Yong Dynasty did not have such strict restrictions on women. If you see the heroine's wrist or feet, the woman's innocence will be lost. This is why the Great Yong Dynasty did not exist.

The women of those rich families would not easily expose their feet, nor would their hands.As for the women in the country, they have to go to work in the field. If they roll up their trousers and sleeves when they go to the field, they will lose their innocence. Can the women in the country still work?
The Great Yong Dynasty was not so strict about this aspect, as long as they didn't see all the women, or saw some very private parts, the women's innocence would not be lost just like that.

So Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya generously rolled up their trouser legs and rolled up their sleeves to go to the field to plant rice seedlings. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each took a bundle of rice seedlings, and then bent over to plant rice seedlings.

Qin Songtao is not very good at transplanting rice seedlings, so he continued to plow the fields by himself, and Qin Muzhang followed to help his wife and mother plant rice seedlings together.

"Why didn't your family tell us about transplanting seedlings?"

When Qin Muzhang, Chen Qiuxiang and the others were bending over to plant rice seedlings, a familiar voice came from behind them. Chen Qiuxiang turned around and saw Qin Chunlan, Qin Chunying, Qin Maosheng, Qin Jingzhe and several others.

"Why are you here?" Wang Mingya asked in surprise.

"Come here and help you plant seedlings." Qin Chunying said with a smile, and she also rolled up her trousers and walked to Wang Mingya's side and said, "How to plant? You teach me."

"There are so many paddy fields in your family, how long will you have to be busy?" Qin Chunlan also said.

"Azhang, I'm here to plant rice seedlings for you. What do you think should be done?" Qin Jingzhe and Qin Maosheng went to Qin Muzhang's side.

"Hey, are you very fast?" When Qin Chunying and the others were learning how to transplant rice seedlings with Wang Mingya, Wang Xiaoying and Liu Xianglan also arrived.

Then Qin Lichun and his brothers came over with their daughter-in-law, and Qin Guyu from Qin Songhai's family also came over. Suddenly, there were more than 20 people in the field of Chen Qiuxiang's family.

Some of the men went to plow the fields with Qin Songtao, and most of them planted rice seedlings with Chen Qiuxiang and Qin Muzhang.

The women followed Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya to learn how to transplant rice seedlings and how far apart the seedlings should be, while the men followed Qin Muzhang.

Because of the large number of people, they were scattered in different fields. After all, if there are too many people in one field, there will be too many footprints and it will be difficult to plant rice seedlings, so the extra people will go to different fields to plant rice seedlings.

"Can the rice grow well in your family?" Qin Chunying couldn't help asking when chatting while planting rice seedlings was everyone's pastime.

"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this with all the paddy fields." Wang Mingya said with a smile.

"By the way, why do you have such a big ditch in your paddy field?" Qin Chunlan also looked at the ditch beside the field curiously and asked.

There are one or two small ditches in the rice fields. Now the ditches in this field are a bit big and deep. I don’t know what they are used for.

"Didn't opening such a big ditch take up a lot of space? Wouldn't the production be reduced if one or two rows of rice were planted less?" Liu Xianglan asked curiously.

"We plan to raise some fish after the rice has taken root and grown well. After a few months, the rice will be ripe and the fish raised in the field will be big enough to eat," Wang Mingya said.

"Raising fish in rice fields? Are you serious?" The others looked at Qin Muzhang in surprise and said.

"Raise some grass carp or carp, and weeds and insects will grow in the fields, which can be fed to the fish." Qin Muzhang said, "We're just trying, anyway, the fish to be raised are not too many, let's see. Whether it can be supported or not, even if it cannot be supported, it will not have much impact."

"Why is there no impact? The ditch you opened is a bit big. How much rice has been planted without taking up such a large area? What should I do if the output is not good then?" Qin Jingzhe said.

"We farmers not only rely on the land to eat, but also pay taxes. If the output is too low, whether there is food is one thing, and whether it is enough to pay taxes is another thing."

"Don't worry, we will take care of it, and we will definitely be able to pay the tax." Qin Muzhang smiled.

"Mu Yu's mother, your family is really bold. It's okay to plant so many sweet potatoes and that corn on the dry land, and now you are tossing about in the paddy field, so you are not afraid that the time will be white?" Qin Chunying couldn't help asking. .

"I'm afraid, but we also want to see if it's possible to grow rice and raise fish at the same time. By then, we will have both rice and fish to eat." Wang Mingya smiled.
