The best small farmer system

Chapter 706 Terraced fields, rice fields, stone rolls

In the next two days, Li Tian didn't go there. [The Talisman for Heaven] still made him feel a little uncomfortable. Although he was once decadent to the extreme and thought about death, in essence, he was still an ordinary person. His attitude toward life

I have pursuits and like to run freely under the sunny sky.

He really doesn't like to come into contact with such dark things.

Fortunately, after using this terrible spell once, Li Tian's living conditions were not disturbed.

His mood gradually relaxed.

He once again focused on upgrading the system. In fact, the day after the Taitian Xingdao Talisman incident, Li Tian's system updated a system task at the same time.

That’s right, two!

System tasks, random tasks, and special tasks are different.

Before the 10th level of system tasks, only 2 tasks can appear at a time, and if they are not completed, they cannot be updated. For example, it is simpler at the beginning and completed faster, and the number of updates in a week is also limited.

After finishing this week, we have to wait until next week.

After the system reached level 10, it was obvious that not only a dark attribute [Tian Tian Xing Dao Talisman] appeared, but also the system tasks were updated accordingly. While the previous 15 vegetable greenhouse tasks had not been completed, the system was updated at the same time.

a new task.

[System Task 1: The task requirement is to plant at least 10 acres of rice, modernize it, and plant it reasonably and for a long time. The task can be completed from sowing in spring to mature harvest in autumn. 】

[Complete the task: Reward 100,000 cash red envelopes, 1,000 lottery points, and 800 experience points. 】

[The task is not completed: 1/1 of the system taskbar will be occupied.]

When Li Tian saw this mission, his head was pounding.

The current Fufu Agricultural Park is already very bloated. The agriculture involved ranged from vegetables to strawberries at the beginning, to pig raising, and aquatic products. Now, in addition to fruit mountains, it also involves 10 acres of rice.

'God!'

It is not difficult to grow rice, nor is it difficult to modernize. At present, Li Tian still has more than tens of millions in cash at his disposal.

The difficulty lies in those 10 acres of rice fields!

You know, there were people growing rice here when they were young, but now there are basically no people doing it, and they still have terraced fields in the mountainous areas.

They are terraced fields, with one level higher than the other. When Li Tian was a child, every household farmed. At that time, water was the most important resource. Water was discharged from the large pond above, and then flowed through the terraces, layer by layer to the bottom.

put.

Because the climate here in Litian is not suitable for growing wheat, only rice is grown, and rice needs water to grow. Therefore, if there is a drought that year, farmers will worry about gray hair.

Li Tian remembers one of the hardest years, when the drought was particularly severe.

The water in the ponds has dried up, so we can only dig the foundations of the ponds, because they are very old ponds. There is a lot of silt in the ponds, which is all black. Because of the hot weather, the black silt has dried up and cracked into pieces.

Some wells have no water at all, and there is no domestic water at all.

Each family can only divide a piece of the pond and dig a big hole. It is very deep. Some people can only use ladders to get down, and some water will seep out of it. Sometimes God will take pity on the poor people, and even a little rain can help.

Save up a little, that's how you spend that dry summer.

It's very painful to think back on it.

When Li Tian was a child, he also beat rice.

There were no machines at that time, it was all manual work, manual planting, manual harvesting, and then manual labor used poles to pick up the rice in bundles and carry it to a sunny place to dry. It must not rain at this time.

In addition to being afraid of drought, rice is also afraid of floods. If there is too much rain that year, the rice harvest will not be good.

After the rice is dried, it is spread flat on the rice field.

The word "rice farm" is now almost unknown to many young people in rural areas. Just like white candles, kerosene lamps, matches, etc., they have slowly become history and faded out of the sight of the general public.

At that time, the rice fields did not have the luxury of cement floors. Instead, they were rolled with stones on flat soil and pressed side by side.

Nowadays, the stone mill used to grind tofu and the stone roller used to grind rice are fast fading out of public life.

Now there is news that some selfish farmers put rice, wheat and other crops on the road to dry in the sun and let the cars going back and forth to crush them.

But those are a very small minority. Most of those who grow rice fields already use some small machines, and those living in plain areas are even happier. There are hundreds of thousands or millions of large machines, completely modern and integrated harvesting.

Very convenient.

Li Tian was not so happy when he was a child. At that time, after the rice was dried, it was spread flat on the very flat soil rice field. Then at this time, the buffalo, which was rarely seen in the countryside, appeared. It was the rural area of ​​that era.

An essential existence.

It is a good helper for farmers. Almost every village has several cows. The most terrifying thing is that the buffalo will go to the pond to lie down in the water in the summer, and sometimes the two bulls will fight.

Cow fights are extremely scary. When two cows fight, it is a big event in the village. Many people will gather here, not to watch the fun, but to try to separate the two cows.

Li Tian naturally let cows go when he was a child. The most promising thing he remembers is that when he was a child, there was a cow, and other children were not allowed to ride it, but Li Tian dared to ride it. He was very brave at that time, but after sitting on the cow, he passed by a cherry tree.

At that time, because the branches were relatively short, Li Tian was directly hung on the tree, which was very dangerous. From then on, he did not dare to ride the bull again.

The buffalo also played a role in plowing the fields. There were no machines at that time. Farm tools were tied around the buffalo's neck and they plowed back and forth in the rice fields.

After the rice is harvested and placed on the rice field, the buffaloes are then caught up, and two stone rollers that are difficult for adults to move are also put on them, and the buffaloes pull the stone rollers and run over the rice side by side.

Finally, grind off the rice with husks.

The whole process is very tedious and tiring.

The straw also needs to be tied up and used to feed cattle in winter, and can also be used for cooking. The Li Tian family still used firewood for cooking last year.

Nowadays, most of the gas is used. I heard that because of the Nanya Resort next door, the government has planned to connect a natural gas line to Qiongshan Valley on the Litian side.

Rice shelling is also a craft. In that era, Li Tian used to crank the rice blower by hand when he was a child. It was very troublesome, but it was also one of the childhood fun of that era.

Because the technology of that era was underdeveloped, the broken rice husks must be separated from the rice. The rice blower has this function. It pours the rice in from the top, and then the bottom will slowly fall down like an hourglass. This

The fan on the side is rotated manually, and the wind from the side will blow the broken rice husk over, and the white rice will fall down.

If you can't blow it clean once, you have to blow it several times, so it's very troublesome and cumbersome.

The rice husks will also remain. During times of famine, some people would eat this.

When Li Tian was a child, there was no longer famine because there was still broken rice inside the rice husks, which could be used to feed pigs or chickens.

In short, in that era, no one dared to waste. (To be continued)
