Longing for mountain village life

Jiang Tian came up with the idea of growing rice.

Grandpa said: "It's not that it can't be done, I didn't say that it wasn't planted at this time, but you have to know one thing, when planting rice at this time, the harvest is generally not very good, and it is very likely that there will be a deflated husk."

"And the soil here is too poor, especially those rice fields, in the past few years, the big guys were still growing rice, but basically it belongs to the rotation system of planting one and repairing, otherwise the nutrients in this field are not enough for rice growth, and in the year of rest, you need to apply farm fertilizer, otherwise the rice in the second year is not mature, or it is difficult to grow."

At the beginning, the soil of Taoshan Village was actually very fertile, after all, close to the mountain forest, a large number of weeds, leaves, etc. decayed to bring a lot of nutrients to the soil.

However, the endless cutting of trees led to serious soil erosion, and soil nutrients were basically washed away, that is, the number of people in the village became smaller and smaller, and they also realized this problem and began to protect it.

However, it is very difficult to restore the previous level of fertility.

Yes, but it may not work as you want.

"Later, families also felt that it was more troublesome to grow rice, and they were unwilling to plant it, even if they reached the term of the lease, they were not willing to renew the lease, you can look at the records in the village committee, now a large number of rice fields are idle there, I went to see it a few days ago, it is full of weeds, and it takes some effort to clean it up."

"yes, it's a pity!" Old Li Tou also remembered the past, "Our village used to have a very famous rice, when we paid the public grain, it was envied by the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and the rice was good and abundant, and then it slowly stopped." "

This way....

Jiang Tian said: "I'll go to the village committee later to see how many free rice fields there are, I remember that there is a large area in the south of the village." "

He is still very impressed with rice, when he was a child, he also hit rice, so he used the kind of rice machine, very interesting, but adults do not let children approach, once the machine starts, if the child is not careful, take advantage of the adult's attention, curious to enter, then it's over."

There is also the planting of rice, everyone holds the rice seedlings, arranges them, evenly inserts the rice in the muddy water, every time at this time, it is a good season for children to play and play, playing madly in the rice field, making the whole body full of muddy water.

In addition to muddy water, there are leeches that cannot be avoided, Jiang Tian is lucky, he has not really been bitten by leeches, but he has seen the kind of people who are bitten.

The black leech is firmly staring at the leg, constantly sucking blood, this thing can not be dragged hard, otherwise it will stimulate the leech to continue to drill inside, if it enters the muscle, then surgery is required to take it out.

At that time, the surgical facilities were not as perfect as they are now, and the meat could only be cut out abruptly.

When you are bitten by a leech, you have to keep patting the sole of your shoe until you hit it on the ground, sprinkle it with salt, and die quickly.

This thing is very terrifying, which once caused Jiang Tian to be afraid when he was a child.

Grandpa nodded, "That's right, there is almost a hundred acres of land there, and there are also a hundred or ten acres of land near the mountains and forests in the west, which is now completely deserted, and it is full of weeds, to be honest, it will take a long time to clean it up, and it may not be able to be used to grow rice." "

This is not the dozens of acres of land he contracted before, it was originally a crop field, as long as it was picked up a little, it was not the lotus root pond they cleaned up before, it did not cover a large area, and a few people could clean it up in a few days."

If you want to complete such a huge amount of work, just a few of them will definitely not be able to do it.

Jiang Tian said: "This is fine, I can hire people from the village to help, just count the wages according to the number of days, if the number of people is too small, hire people from the engineering team, so many people clean up together, it should be able to be cleaned up in a short time."

"So what about after that, rice planting, maintenance, etc., and this most critical fertilizer problem, how do you solve this?" Grandpa asked.

He did not mean to stop Jiang Tian from planting rice, but considering many problems, if it is really planted, then it needs to be prepared a lot, especially this fertilizer problem, if not, let alone harvest rice, it is a problem to grow.

Ah Gui said: "In terms of fertilizer, can those pig manures be OK?"

"It can be, but it's too little, and chicken and duck manure is also OK, but the time is too short, not that you throw the manure into it and you can use it, then the probability will burn the rice seedlings, this takes time, Jiang Tian's idea is to grow rice in a short time." Grandpa explained.

Old Li Tou also agreed with his grandfather's statement this time, "Jiang Tian, your idea is too simple, growing rice is not so easy. "

Jiang Tian didn't have much explanation, with spiritual water, fertilizer is not a problem at all, now you can take advantage of the winter to carry out a rice planting, just to clear out all those idle rice fields, it is really too wasteful to leave it empty."

Moreover, after the rice is planted, it does not mean that other things cannot be raised.

"It's okay, the priority is to clean it up first, as for rice, this must be planted after the pre-work is prepared." Jiang Tian said.

"Well, it's okay, in that case, just do as you say, anyway, as long as what you do is meaningful, then I support it." Grandpa said with a smile.

"Thank you Grandpa!"

Jiang Tian was ready to go to the village committee after eating.

A Gui suddenly asked a question, "If there are hundreds of acres of land, who should watch it?" "

This question suddenly woke up a few people, yes, now the pigsty needs people to watch, and when another farm is built, those ducks, chickens and whatnot, they also need people to watch, and hundreds of acres of rice fields are added, people are still needed, but they are only so many people."

Grandpa pondered for a while and said: "In fact, as long as the early stage is busy, the later maintenance is still very simple, the village is so big, and no one says to make trouble, but I feel that I still have to hire a few people to help, and the big cow and their family are good."

"I'll wait to tell Brother Da Niu, the rice fields in the south are not too far from the fruit groves, and I can let him help watch them when the time comes."

"As for other places, let the big black and big rhubarb go around often."

Jiang Tian looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang in the corner not far away, and thought for a while, "Plus Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang, these two dogs are usually too non-existent, they can't always stay at home, it's time to help." "
