The general's mansion is down and out?It doesn't matter, madam will make a move

Chapter 109 Planting Rice

After soaking the grain seeds for a day, they were picked up again, and when the water was almost drained, Su Jianjian called Xiong Da and Wang Yong.

Field inspection can be done at a later date, but rice planting, especially rice seeds, is ready, so it cannot be delayed.At the same time, keeping the big guy busy can also put an end to the lazy thinking like Xiong Er, thinking that after harvesting the wheat, he doesn't have to plant the land anymore, and can rest for several months.

No matter what you do, it is best to keep doing it once you get used to it. Once you rest for too long, laziness will become a habit.Now they finally seem to have vigor and energy, but they can't delay and change back to the beginning.Then her previous efforts were in vain.

"The three of you are holding the rice seeds, standing in the ditch, and spreading the seeds evenly along the mud surface we built." Su Jian spoke, completely unaware that her original idea of ​​only seeking stability for herself gradually emerged. In a sense, she hopes that those who follow her can really learn something.

"Yes."

Su Jian paid attention to their behavior, and after finding that they had made no mistakes, she turned to Wang Yong and Xiong Da: "The fields that cultivate seedlings will do the same in the future."

"Yes." Xiong Da and Wang Yong said in unison.

Su Jian nodded: "One more thing is that we need to make scarecrows to scare away sparrows, crows and other birds, in case they steal our food seeds when we are not paying attention."

"Ma'am, we don't have any straw, but we can send more people to patrol the field, so as not to give them any chance." Xiong San said from the side.

Su Jian looked at Xiong San: "Your suggestion is good, but human energy is limited. Although it is inevitable to have people look after the paddy fields, how many people should I arrange for so many paddy fields?"

Xiong San began to think: "This field can probably accommodate two or three people."

"The bird falls, if it lands in the middle of the mud, what do you think they should do? You are all men, but you can't fly, and you can't be as light as a swallow. If you accidentally destroy Mud noodles, that ruined all of our hard work. Besides, it is too tiring for the guards to be on high alert anytime and anywhere."

Xiong San opened his mouth, knowing that he didn't like Su Jian's suggestion just now, he patted his mouth without any trace, he was obviously so smart before, why can't he come up with a suggestion that satisfies Su Jian now Woolen cloth.

The people around who heard Su Jian's words, especially when they heard Su Jian consider for them, felt even more concerned.

"A scarecrow is just a scarecrow, and it doesn't have to be made of straw. We harvested wheat before, didn't we have a lot of wheat stalks? Let's use them to make them, roughly in the shape of a dummy, and make them on the long bamboo. , Inserting it into the center of the paddy field can play a role of intimidation.

Of course, Xiong San's suggestion just now is not without merit. "Su Jian looked at everyone.

Xiong San suddenly raised his head to look at Su Jian, and his low heart resumed beating.

"Arranging human care is necessary, but there are not so many people. With scarecrow care, a team of two is responsible for five fertile fields, and the day and night alternate." Su Jian thought of something, turned and looked at Wang Yong: "The paddy field where we cultivate rice seedlings How many dollars are there in total?"

"Return to madam, 11 yuan." Wang Yong hurriedly said.

Su Jian nodded, secretly calculating the grain he wanted Zhang Dapao before, and the 11 yuan field should be able to handle it: "Then take a group for six paddy fields, and a group for five yuan. Which one of you wants to be the first to take the lead?"

"Ma'am, come here, little one!"

It's Xiong San.

Su Jian was a little surprised at Xiong San's initiative, but after the surprise, she was happy. Someone took the initiative to work and facilitated her work. How could she not be happy: "Then who do you team up with to be responsible for five yuan or..."

"Xiong Er and I are in charge of six fields." Xiong San said, "You can make a dummy, and the younger ones can do it too. If Madam believes in the younger ones, please let the younger ones do it."

Su Jian looked at Xiong San thoughtfully: "Yes, one scarecrow per field, of course it doesn't matter a little more."

"Madam, don't worry." After Xiong San finished speaking, he turned to look for the straw.

Su Jian stopped looking at Xiong San, and only asked Wang Yong and Xiong Da to arrange for people to sow the rice seeds within today, and then she went to check the situation of the 11 yuan paddy fields one by one.At the same time, we must personally check the water storage situation of the remaining paddy fields.If the water in the paddy field is not enough, more water should be stored later.

"Your method of cultivating seedlings is quite novel."

The faint voice of Qi Mo came from her ear, startling Su Jian who was concentrating on her work. She turned her head and looked at Qi Mo angrily: "Why are you here?"

"Yesterday you said you were going to cook for me, and you left early in the morning... I have no class in the morning, so let me remind you." Qi Mo said honestly.

Su Jian was speechless. He co-authored it because he was afraid that he would not have dinner, but he really worried too much, so he paid him for the meal, and the money was not a lot, so she would definitely let him eat: "Don't worry Well, I arranged for Xionghong to go to the city to buy ingredients early in the morning, and I will definitely give you a delicious meal today."

Qi Mo frowned, and although he didn't speak, his expression obviously softened a lot: "Actually, the things you did just now are troublesome. I think some of your land is quite humid. Why do you need to cultivate rice seeds in paddy fields? Can't it work in the soil?"

After Qi Mo finished speaking, he saw Su Jian looking at him: "If you feel that there is a lack of water, why don't you let someone drench you every day?"

Su Jian looked at Qi Mo, and didn't want to answer his question at first, because what he asked was really mentally handicapped, but considering that there were other people around, by talking more, they could understand more: "First of all, the difference between paddy fields and The land lies in the good water storage function of the paddy fields; secondly, people carry water for watering every day, which is actually a disguised form to make people work more, and the rice seeds may not be able to survive; finally, rice actually has another name, called rice. .Rice rice, since it's rice, it can't leave the water, understand?"

Qi Mo looked at Su Jian's eyes and wanted to say something, but Su Jian obviously ignored him and continued to look at the situation of the paddy field.

"What Madam said is very reasonable, I will remember it."

"Ah."

"Ma'am, we grow rice in the paddy field, but what about the dry land?"

Su Jian was also thinking about this issue. She had an idea when she was beating Xiong Er before. She had already had an idea for planting soybeans, just like making peppers. Only by achieving self-sufficiency can she have more confidence.But that day she was too angry to talk about planting soybeans. The conditions here are not as good as modern ones. You can grow whatever you want. If you want soybeans to survive on a large scale, you can choose the second half of the year.

But what is the land for?Kidney beans, cowpeas, and corn are very suitable for planting now, but the seeds...

"Don't move the dry land for the time being, but there is one thing you need to do immediately." Su Jian looked serious and looked at Wang Yong and Xiong Da: "We have harvested the wheat, the stalks, and the stubble have been cleaned up by you. What do you do?" It's very good, especially not throwing away the straw at random, but piling it up in one place."

"Madam once said that there are very few useless things in the fields." Xiong said.

Su Jian nodded, satisfied that Xiong Da took her words to heart: "Later, when it hasn't rained for the past few days and most of the straw is dry, you organize people to burn the straw on the spot. As the ashes are cooled, sprinkle some evenly on each field.”

Xiong Da heard the words and quickly accepted the order, but Wang Yong opened his mouth to speak.

Su Jian saw Wang Yong's doubts, and she frowned at Wang Yong's eagerness to learn: "You must want to know why I gave such orders."

"Yes." Wang Yongdao.

Su Jian smiled: "Scattering the burned wheat stalk ash in the field has many benefits. First, it can increase the fertility of the soil. Next time we plant wheat or other crops, the yield will increase."

Wang Yong and Xiong Er's eyes lit up when they heard the words. Three hundred catties of wheat per mu is already a very high yield for them. Could it be possible to increase it?
"Secondly, it can prevent insect pests. Planting again will reduce the chance of crop disease; thirdly, it can also reduce the occurrence of overgrown weeds." In fact, it would be better if it was burned on the spot, and it could also increase the porosity of the soil.But... Wang Yong has already packed some of the wheat stalks, and Xiong Da is also doing it, and she didn't order them before, and they can't say wrong, so they can only secretly say that it's a pity.Thinking of something, she added: "Because there is not much water in the paddy fields, sprinkle some on them quickly. Later, we need to ensure that each paddy field has enough water."

"Yes."
