Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 181 The Rice Harvest
Taking advantage of getting off work at noon, Wang Manyin took the time to break off the corn in his private plot.

A lot of soil and manure were used in the six-fen private plot, and when there was a drought, he also carried water with the big flow once, so the harvest was not bad.

From the beginning to the end, I made three snakeskin bags full of corn cobs.

It is said to be corn on the cob, but it is actually completely incomparable with later generations, but it is only a dozen centimeters long.Corn kernels are round and only the size of mung beans.

The three snakeskin bags are all buttoned up, and it is estimated that there will be one hundred catties of corn kernels.

This is much better than collective fields.

This year's drought, the second team except for a few irrigated fields near the river has a relatively good corn harvest, with a production capacity of over 140 per mu.The other land plots are not as good as they are. One mu of land can weigh [-] catties in the sky.

The situation is like this... The water and fertilizer can keep up, and the crops in the private plots are generally better than those in the collective fields.

This is why Director Zhao held a special meeting to emphasize that it is a mistake to apply soil and manure to private plots.He even set up manure managers and public toilets in the village.

In fact, these two items are of little use, and the excrement output of the public toilets built in the village has not been able to increase.Except for a few educated youths who often visit, almost all other members of Guanzi Village "produce and sell themselves" in their own toilets.

After all, everyone knows in their hearts that only the harvest from the private plot is their own.

If the second team can get enough 360 catties this year, Wang Manyin and Lanhua can have almost [-] catties of rations each with the harvest from the plot.

But... this is the ideal situation.

You know, Guanzi Village eats resale grain every year.

In fact, even if there are so many, the members still can't get enough.Now there is no oil and water in the meals, everyone is a big belly man, and can easily eat two catties of grain in one meal.

Wang Manyin read an article in later generations, which specifically mentioned how much food an adult should eat a day to meet his daily needs.

It is said that according to the standards established by the Nutrition Society, laborers engaged in agricultural production consume roughly 3400 calories a day, which requires almost 2.4 catties of rice to provide.

If you just eat rice, you need nearly [-] catties a year.Even the wealthiest production team in the south probably didn't reach this number.

Therefore, there is not enough food, so we can only replace it with melons and fruits.

In the private plots of the members of Guanzi Village, in addition to food, most of them also grow a lot of yams, pumpkins and radishes.Because these vegetables have a large yield.

Especially pumpkin, one can weigh more than ten catties, and can be stored for several months.The temperature difference between day and night on the Loess Plateau is large, and the pumpkin tastes sweet and sweet, and the taste is very good.These days, Wang Manyin would steam two meals every now and then.

After harvesting corn and sorghum, more than ten acres of rice in Dongshanmao finally ripened.

It's a bit funny to say that these rice fields were originally a by-product of fish ponds.As a result, it was confused, and the investment was getting bigger and bigger. Thousands of catties of new bacterial fertilizer were used for planting, and then a few acres of land were topdressed with urea.

Now standing on the edge of the field and looking around, the yellow and heavy ears of rice are very gratifying.

Afraid of being pecked by birds and reducing production, Wang Lianshun sent people to guard every day these days.As long as there are birds approaching, immediately start to chase them away.

In the evening, Liu Xiangyang and the two of them took turns to patrol, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment.

As early as ten days ago, the rice fields had stopped watering.

The loess soil cannot store water, so although the soil in the field is a bit wet now, it is completely fine to enter the field with shoes on.

Wang Lianshun originally wanted to take advantage of the good weather and bring the rice to the field earlier.In the end, he was stopped by Director Zhao before he started to move the sickle.

The other party said that the commune attaches great importance to the promotion of new bacterial fertilizer model fields, and will come to the site to visit and guide when harvesting.

Helpless, Wang Lianshun had to stop for a day.

After receiving the official notice, Zhao Jianhai asked people to make several slogan display boards overnight and stood them on the edge of the rice fields early in the morning.

Needless to say, this person is very good at writing slogans.

What are "open mountains and ridges to create fertile land, fight against the sky and earth to win high yields", "fight against the world, change mountains and rivers, break new roads, and create high yields", "learn from Dazhai through hard work, and build fertile land by the Dongla River".

Very period and inspiring.

Surrounded by a circle of flags, the atmosphere of Dongshanmao suddenly became different.

More than ten acres of paddy fields, if harvested and threshed by members of the second team, it will take at least a few days to be busy.The staff of the commune naturally didn't have that much time to wait.

In order to produce results as soon as possible, Zhao Jianhai specially called a team of laborers to help.

For this situation, Wang Lianshun certainly raised his hands to welcome it.

There is free labor, and there is no use for nothing.

After breakfast, everyone stood at the head of the village and waited.

Soon, several bicycles came from the direction of Shigejie Commune.Since the supply and marketing cooperatives began to sell bicycles, the number of bicycle riders on the road has gradually increased.

Even the educated youths in the village pooled their money to buy one, but it was not a new car, but assembled by themselves with accessories.

Buying a complete bike now costs a ticket, assembling it from parts doesn't.So some smart people in Shige Festival have started to buy parts from supply and marketing cooperatives.

What's even more amazing is that after the bicycle is assembled, the license plate can also be obtained according to the invoice for purchasing the bicycle frame.

Wang Manyin has decided that when there are more bicycles in the village, he can assemble one himself.

In addition to everyone in the commune, Director Guo and Shaoan also followed.This is what it should be. After all, the promotion of new bacterial fertilizers is mainly operated by supply and marketing cooperatives, and they naturally want to know the final results.

In the end, I followed a photographer, who was said to have been specially invited from the commune next door.

What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that these workers had sickles tied to the back seats of their cars, as if they were going to go to the fields to cut rice later.

Before going to the field, Guo Chaowang specifically explained to everyone that each mu of rice should be stacked separately after harvesting, so that the specific yield per mu of each plot can be accurately weighed later, and the effect of the new bacterial fertilizer can be evaluated.

Wang Manyin originally thought that the few staff members were just putting on a show, but he never thought that they were no worse than the laborers in the village when they harvested rice.

Judging by the proficiency of the movements, one can tell that it is an old-fashioned style.

People who have never done farm work have no idea how dangerous it is to bend over and use a sickle to cut crops.

If the movements are sloppy, if you don't pay attention, you will cut your fingers or cut your calf.

This alone is worthy of Wang Manyin's admiration.

As he integrated into this world, his views were constantly changing.

Every era has advantages and disadvantages.It may not be perfect, but there are always some people who stick to their ideals.

On the contrary, Officer Zhao was very embarrassed standing on the ridge.Immediately, he asked the member next to him for a sickle, and joined in hastily.After Zhao Jianhai came to Guanzi Village, he basically worked in the brigade, even if he went to the fields, he just patrolled with his hands behind his back, so he was not good at working in the fields.

Less than 2 minutes after the cut, he let out a scream, and then covered his bloody fingers.

But this man could endure the pain, so he found a piece of cloth to wrap around his fingers, and continued to gather in front of several people to grab the rice.

Wang Lianshun was stunned, couldn't help but give Wang Manyin a hand, and asked in a low voice, "Manyin, is this person Director Zhao? Am I delusional?"

"What do you think?" Wang Manyin's good mood was immediately destroyed.

More than 100 laborers were dispatched together, and within an hour, all the ten acres of land were harvested.

Originally, the rice should be harvested in the sun, but there is not such a big place in Guanzi Village.If you play game by game, it's too slow.

Several staff members are waiting to know the results per mu.After a brief discussion, everyone decided to beat the ears of rice on the spot.

After more than ten days in the sun, the rice has already become dry after biting.

In order to prevent the rice from being scattered and splashed, Wang Lianshun specially ordered twenty or thirty sorghum books from the village to stand up as a cover, and a reed mat was spread on the ground.

Then, No. [-], the labor force resumed his work.

There was a sound of beating at the scene, coupled with the rice dust, the whole Dongshan Mao suddenly billowed with smoke...

"Field No. 516 weighs [-] pounds!"

"Field No. 478 weighs [-] kilograms!"

"Field No. [-]..."

Hearing the report, many people had excitement on their faces.

This number is absolutely against the sky!
Rice and white flour are good food, and they are delicious when made into donkey meat.

Wang Manyin is no exception... although he knew very early on that this year's harvest should be good.But the highest figure per mu is still a bit shocking.

In this era, hybrid rice has not yet come out. Even in the southern fields, the yield per mu is only about [-] catties per mu, and it is even lower in the northern plains.

They learned before that after ammonia water was used in Liujiawan, the average yield per mu could barely reach [-] catties.

Therefore, the output of 516 catties is definitely a satellite in Shigejie Commune.Of course, if the rice is completely dried, it will definitely lose a lot of catties.

Even so, the crowd cheered unceasingly.

The comparison effect is very obvious. Those who have not used urea and new bacterial fertilizer have an output of about [-] catties.

However, regarding urea, Wang Lianshun and others naturally would not mention it.

What song to sing on what mountain.

They knew very well in their hearts that they came to see the promotion of bacterial fertilizers.If the credit goes to the chemical fertilizers, the ten acres of paddy fields in Guanzi Village would not be so eye-catching.

Finally, on average, the average yield of more than ten acres of rice is close to [-] catties per mu.

After finishing his work, Wang Mandun invited everyone from the commune to rest in the village, and taste the new rice of Guanzi Village by the way at noon.

When he got the news in the morning, he had asked the village to kill a sheep, and it was probably almost stewed by now.Eat stewed mutton and rice at noon, absolutely Mrs. Mei's.

Wang Lianshun got the order and immediately began to arrange for people to pound the rice.

It is the first time in Guanzi Village to plant rice this year, and there is no professional rice pounding tool at all.

But this is not a problem for them, there are plenty of stone mortars in the village.The so-called stone mortar is to make the stone into a bowl-shaped groove, which is divided into two types according to the size.

The small stone mortar is usually used to pound garlic juice, and it can be said that almost every family must have it.There are also large stone mortars mainly used for pounding chili noodles, which are just right for pounding rice now.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Manyin.

Wang Lianshun originally wanted him to go to the brigade to show his face, but was rejected by Wang Manyin.Anyway, I don't plan to make progress, so why bother to join in the fun.

And he was a little uncomfortable eating and drinking with a large group of people.

On the contrary, Liu Xiangyang, as the manager of the rice field, was also invited to accompany him.

It should be said that Liu Xiangyang was the biggest beneficiary of the rice harvest of the second team.His name has been thoroughly remembered by several people in the commune.

But this opportunity is also earned by others.

When working, a cadre specially patted Liu Xiangyang on the shoulder to express his encouragement.Well, I was photographed by the other party last time.

Seeing this situation, the other educated youths were very envious.

Of course, this time the new bacterial fertilizer test was successful, and Shaoan also benefited.

To say that the most depressed person today should be Wang Manjun, the captain of the first team.He himself likes to show off very much, and now seeing Wang Lianshun enjoying the scenery, his mood is exactly the same as that of several educated youths.

More importantly, for the glory of the second team, their first team also contributed dozens of labors.

For the children in the village, finishing the rice harvest is also an exciting event, which means they can go to the fields to dig loaches.

Afraid of destroying the crops before, these guys only dared to guard the ridges to catch them.

In the first year of planting rice in Guanzi Village, the silt in the field was only four inches thick, and there was a hard raw loess layer underneath.Loaches mostly stay in the silt layer, and it is easy to dig as long as you see the cave.

In half a day, more than a dozen broken babies each dug more than two catties.After they took it back to the village, it immediately caused quite a stir.

The next day, all the children in the village were dispatched.

In just one day, more than ten acres of rice fields were turned over.

Now that the rice has been harvested, as long as these children don't destroy the ridges of the fields, Wang Lian will let them do whatever they want.

It is said that from spring to now, the children in the village have not stopped eating meat very much, and they can always eat some fish every now and then.Although the number is pitifully small, it is much better than before.

***
In the anticipation of the members, the second team finally began to distribute the rice.

Originally, according to the regulations, the production team could not distribute the grain privately before the autumn public grain was paid.

However, at the dinner table a few days ago, Wang Lianshun had deliberately obtained the consent of the commune staff.Each person is first divided according to 10 catties of rice, and the rest is reserved for public grain.

After all, no matter what, the members of the second team have been busy for more than half a year, and they always have to eat a few meals of rice.

The two members of Wang Manyin's family can share twenty catties.

If you make rice, you can eat it in half a month at most.

But to him, it doesn't matter.

There are now two to three hundred catties of rice piled up in the space, and Wang Manyin has been worrying about it.

After dividing the rice, the family can eat rice openly in the future.So he brought the rice home, and he took the time to pound it all, and then turned around and sent a few catties to the old man.

However, some families with many children can share more than 100 catties of rice.If it is converted into dried sweet potatoes, one catty is exchanged for four catties, which is equivalent to an extra person's ration.

After harvesting the rice, the next step is to plant wheat, plan potatoes and sweet potatoes...

But at this time, the delivery of public grain in autumn has also begun.

There is little summer grain on the Loess Plateau, and it usually takes a few days to complete.The bulk of the public grain is delivered in autumn, and the delivery is more miscellaneous, such as millet, corn, sorghum, millet and peanuts.After a few days, the sweet potatoes are harvested, and the dried sweet potatoes are also handed over.

Intermittently, the communal food distribution can last for more than a month.

In the past, the distribution of rice in Guanzi Village was purely a special case, but now other grains cannot be distributed, unless the public grain task is half completed.

The public rations had been handed in early, and it was safe and sound, so Wang Lianshun didn't plan to delay.While arranging people to continue to work on the autumn harvest, he began to send people to pay public grain.

Having experienced the experience of handing in summer grain, this time he still sent educated youths to come forward, and directly let Liu Xiangyang pull a hand-held tractor corn.

As a result, the grain inspection passed the customs smoothly.

The next day, the food delivery team changed, and all production teams sent educated youths.

For a while, the entire grain station compound was noisy...
