Chapter 143 The New Pickaxe

Xu Chenghou and others stayed at Xu Shiyan's house for one night, and went home the next morning.

Xu Shiyan was very busy, he was called away early in the morning, and he couldn't send his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the station.

Fortunately, Su Weizhong and his wife both understood, so they naturally ignored it and left happily.

Xu Shiyan led his people and continued to toss about in the new venue.

After laying firewood on the ground, it is time to orientate and hang strings.

Orientation is to determine the direction facing the front eaves of the ginseng bed according to the requirements of ginseng for light and the terrain.

The overall requirement is to use morning and evening yang, avoid noon yang, and not use frontal yang.

Generally, at ten o'clock or 10:30 in the morning, the sun exits from the pool surface as the standard.

Dewy sun is mostly taken on flat land, that is, the pool string is oriented north-south or east-south.

Most of the hills are in the direction of the south and the north, and the north and south slopes of the mountainous areas are mostly along the mountains.

If the east and west slopes are not steep and the water can be discharged smoothly, they can be horizontal or inclined.If the slope is large, follow the mountain or slope it.

Orientation is very important. Yu Shouguang found a few old farmers, and together with Xu Shiyan, took a compass to measure around the site for a long time, and discussed for a long time before confirming the Yangkou.

After setting the Yangkou, the next step is to hang the skewers.

According to the determined direction of the pool string and the specifications of the ginseng bed, the stakes are marked, which is called hanging string.

Still use the compass to set the direction, find out the positions of the stakes at both ends, and connect the two stakes with a rope.

Along the rope, insert a stake every five meters, which is the baseline.

Then start from the end point of the baseline and along the direction of the end line, measure the width of the furrow string, that is, the width of the pool surface and the horse path together.

Then insert the stakes, and each stake is numbered with an ink pen. Connecting stakes of the same number is equivalent to drawing countless parallel lines on the entire land.

The area between two adjacent parallel lines is a furrow string. When digging the soil, the stakes cannot be pulled out or moved.

It sounds simple, but the actual operation is very troublesome. The Second Brigade plans to make [-] feet of ginseng soil this year, and it took two days just to hang the strings.

After hanging the strings, the next step is to dig the soil.

Workers wielded pickaxes and dug up the turf and the underlying soil layer together to form a large adobe about one and a half feet square, which was buckled upside down in the middle of the furrows.

At the same time, gather the subsoil on both sides to the middle of the furrows, and place the adobe on top of the subsoil in the shape of fish scales.

After the adobe has been exposed to the sun and fully matured, the columbine soil is then drilled.

Digging the soil is pure labor.

The picks used for digging the soil these days are larger than those used in large fields.

But in Xu Shiyan's eyes, this thing is still not good, it is too narrow, and it can't be counted.

So, Xu Shiyan started to take advantage of his rebirth again and drew a blueprint.

After asking too much for instructions, I asked someone from the industry to build a few new pickaxes according to the drawings.

The new pickaxe is twice as wide as the original pickaxe. In order to reduce weight, only half of the bottom is solid, and the top is hollowed out.

The new pickaxe is extremely sharp, and it can cut off small tree roots with two strokes, let alone turf.

It only takes two or three strokes to plan a piece of adobe, which is more than half the effort of the original pickaxe.

"My God, this thing is so easy to use, Xiao Xu, how did you think of it?"

Xu Shiyan brought four or five pickaxes up the mountain to test them out for everyone. After trying them out, they all said that the new pickaxes were easy to use, quick to work, and labor-saving.

Yu Shouguang and other brigade cadres who followed him up the mountain were also dumbfounded. This new pickaxe is also very easy to use.

"Just thinking about it, the pickaxe we used is too slow, it takes time and effort, and the work is too slow." Xu Shiyan smiled.

When the pickaxe first came out in the previous life, many people rushed to buy it. The blacksmith who made the pickaxe made a lot of money.

This thing is really easy to use. Until he was reborn, unless he was digging the ground with a machine, if he did it manually, he would always use this kind of digging tool.

Xu Shiyan hit a total of five pickaxes in the industry, all of which were taken away.

Others didn't, and could only watch others work quickly and easily.

"Uncle Yu, don't just stand here, go back quickly and make a pickaxe with the industrial side."

There was that clever man beside him, who hurried up to Yu Shouguang and gave Yu Shouguang some advice.

"Order one hundred and eighty, the big guys will have one hand, and the work will be quick."

"Uncle, I don't think it will take a few days before the other brigades will come looking for you again.

This time, don't play up your style like the ground gun.

Simply, just order thousands of them from the industry, and then sell them, even if you earn two yuan for one, can't you make a lot of money?

This matter is fine, uncle, think about it, at least earn money for the pickaxes we use in our team. "

Xu Shiyan was even more ruthless, and came up with a brute force.

Anyway, he made it up, and he can't always give it away for nothing, even if he doesn't benefit himself, he has to let the brigade make a fortune from it.

After being reminded by Xu Shiyan, several cadres in the team immediately widened their eyes.

"Oh, what's the matter? What are we all pretending to be in our heads? I can't figure out this thing.

Go, go, hurry up, go back quickly, find the people in the industry, and tell them to keep the secret.

This pickaxe, if our brigade doesn't make a fortune, it will really be a waste of Xiao Xu's mind. "

How many brigades does Donggang Commune have?ten.

The ten brigades all planted ginseng, and they all had to dig the soil. I don't believe that they would not be tempted to see such a useful pick?

Even if a commune orders a hundred pickaxes, the quantity is still very large.

You don't need to earn a lot for a pickaxe, just one yuan is enough, which is better than letting other brigades take advantage of it every time.

So, the cadres of the brigade didn't care about anything, and slipped down the mountain.

As soon as he returned, Yu Shouguang immediately approached the director of the industrial factory, and made an agreement directly with him that he would only make pickaxes for the second brigade, and the first batch would be [-] picks.

On the other side of the industry, Yu Shouguang first went to the commune to participate in the field, found the director of the commune's field, talked to him in vernacular, and successfully sold a hundred of them.

It is one yuan higher than the industrial quotation, and half of the deposit is paid in advance.

The first step is successfully taken, and the next step will be easy. Yu Shouguang and the others continue to fool around.

In a few days, all the brigades under Donggang Commune were fooled into ordering goods by them.

The second brigade is so noisy, how can it not disturb the commune?
The leaders of the commune were very curious when they knew about it. They went to the mountain to check it out and found that the pickaxe was really easy to use.

"Old Yu, you're not authentic, it's not okay to have money and go to the brigade to earn money.

Well, the commune took over the matter of the pickaxe. "Several leaders of the commune took over the follow-up work without saying a word.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, how much ginseng soil did your commune make in total this year? Have you finished digging?

I have a very useful tool for digging the soil. It is fast and light. It is used by several brigades in our commune. Would you like to take a look? "

The secretary of the commune directly shook the phone to find someone, which was a hundred times better than Yu Shouguang and the others riding a bicycle.

Being fooled by Donggang Commune, the nearby Xinglong, Songjiang, Manjiang and other communes all sent people to learn from them.

Then, they discovered that the pickaxe was really good.

Donggang said, we have a part of the stock here, and if there are not enough, you can make a reservation. Do you want it?
