Chapter 446: Ploughing and Planting Wheat

Many members of the club ran to Liu Chen, and there were even children running ahead. They all wanted to buy local chicken to take home to eat. It was chicken and how delicious it was.

"Achen, are there any more?"

"No more, not one left."

"Oh, is it gone now? It's too fast."

Those who didn't get one were still dejected, and the children who didn't get chicken at home even pouted and muttered in front of their parents.

Liu Chen felt bad when he saw the children who couldn't buy chicken at home. If he had known he would have come here more often.

At first, Liu Chen thought that this was a lot, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell it. If he didn't sell it, he wouldn't be able to eat all the chickens at home.

Liu Chen thought to himself, if this can't be sold, then he can dry it and make it into cured chicken. Then he can keep it and sell it during the New Year.

I really didn't expect that within a short period of time, dozens of chickens would be sold out, let alone 47 chickens. Even if there were so many more chickens, they would be sold out.

"Ah Chen, look at what my baby is doing. Look at what's going on and get some. I'll buy two." Aunt Zhao looked at Liu Chen and said.

"Ah Chen, why don't I give you one to Aunt Zhao, and we can keep two at home." Wang Mudan thought to herself, anyway, she has two at home, and when the time comes, a few girls will come and put more to match.

Dishes are also available.

Liu Chen looked at his mother. Since his mother said so, it would be a bad idea if he didn't give it to him, so he would just sell it.

Here Aunt Li saw that Liu Chen gave one to Aunt Zhao, and she wanted one too.

Liu Chen thought to himself, he only had these two at home, how would he eat them if they were sold? He might as well forget it and not sell them, otherwise many people would want them later.

Although Liu Chen felt that this local chicken was just like this, he still felt that pheasants and hares were delicious, but his nephews and nieces liked to eat them, so he might as well save some for them. After all, there were about a dozen nephews and nieces.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Li, there are only two left. Several nephews will be here in a few days, so I have to feed them."

Aunt Li looked at Liu Chen, she didn't want to sell it, so she couldn't force it, right?

It’s not that Liu Chen doesn’t want to sell it, but mainly to the better members at the back. If he sells this to Aunt Li, how will Aunt Cao and Aunt Lu sell it later?

"Achen, when can you get it again?"

Liu Chen told everyone that this is not certain, mainly because it is difficult to get, and he also spent a lot of effort to get it.

Liu Chen couldn't agree immediately. After all, there were too many things. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain them by then, right?

"Okay, if you can't buy chickens, wait until Ah Chen gets it next time. Er Niu, you move the offline machine to your house first, and you thresh it first." Captain Liu looked at Er Niu and said.

As if he had received an imperial edict, Erniu was so excited that he nodded quickly, ran to the threshing machine, and touched the threshing machine.

He touched it and said, "How does this thing peel corn?"

Although Liu Chen explained it once, he still couldn't understand it. He felt that this thing was really magical.

Several people moved the machine to Erniu's house together.

In this era, everyone is more enthusiastic. When the family has a job, they help out together. Many people go to help Erniu's family. There are more people and more strength, so we can do it faster. When the time comes, it will be our own family's turn faster. In this way

It will save time.

If you have time, you can sew more cloth tigers and fur nests, and then you can earn more money to buy local chickens.

Liu Chen used to teach everyone how to use it and how to plug it in.

This is still very simple, just plug in the plug-in board.

There were a lot of people, and Liu Chen’s help was not needed, so Liu Chen simply came back.

Let's take a rest first, and Liu Chen will sort out the things he brought.

Liu Chen poured green tea, sat on the sofa and drank it.

At this time, Captain Liu came and saw Liu Chen lying on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely. He rolled his eyes and said: "You guys are comfortable. We will start plowing tomorrow. Those plows you brought last time

We don't dare to use rakes and rakes. If they break, it will be troublesome."

When Liu Chen heard this, his face immediately paled. He had just rested, and now he had another job arranged for him.

Why did you bring those plows and rakes with you in the first place? Those are used on tractors, so don’t you have to drive a tractor?

Liu Chen felt miserable. He really didn't want to drive a tractor anymore, and his butt couldn't bear it.

Liu Chen thought to himself, why are Liu Jiangang, Erniu, and Huzi so stupid? After teaching for so many days, why can't they still learn?

"Look what you look like? You drive a tractor, but I won't let you use an old cow."

After Liu Chen heard what Captain Liu said, could he not let himself use the tractor? The main reason is that he doesn't want to drive the tractor anymore, who can come to save him?

"You said what you brought was indeed fine wheat seeds?"

"It's necessary. I'll make sure it's easy to use. If there's a good harvest next year, I'll get more."

Captain Liu stared at Liu Chen. He really couldn't believe that this boy was indeed no ordinary person. He was a "strange person" who could only be seen in a lifetime.

There were so many wheat seeds that even the commune secretary, not to mention the captain, could not get so many.

The seeds distributed by his production team every year are not enough, but he has gone to great lengths to get them. Not only are there not enough seeds, but there are also fertilizers, which is even more pitiful.

Liu Chen then thought of adding some chemical fertilizer. With fertilizer and good seeds, it would be difficult not to have a good harvest.

Forget it, anyway, the team has prepared fertilizer and farmyard manure, forget it this time, I will definitely get more fertilizer next year.

"You go to bed early today, and you will wake me up early tomorrow. I'll ask the secretary for the diesel fuel."

Thinking of diesel, Liu Chen brought some for the team's tractors.

Liu Chen took out the diesel and handed it to Captain Liu.

Captain Liu looked at the diesel in front of him and was so excited that he was almost losing his temper. Secretary Zhang only approved so much, but this guy actually got so much.

"Okay, boy, you can get this." Captain Liu didn't want to ask Liu Chen how he got it. Anyway, he knew Liu Chen's strength and could endure it.

Captain Liu told Liu Chen that his production team had no money to give him for the time being. He owed money for wheat seeds and diesel to Liu Chen first, and would pay it to him when the team had money during the Chinese New Year.

Liu Chen had no intention of asking for it at first. He knew in his heart that he also knew the situation in the team. Giving him money at this time was just a daydream. Credit was Captain Liu's purpose.

"Okay, there's no rush. I'll give it to you when the team has money."

Liu Chen thought to himself that Captain Liu had no intention of giving money at this time. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it, but the team really had no money in the past few years.

"Ah Chen, you have helped our team."

"Little things, little things."

Liu Chen thought to himself, don't put a high hat on me, it would be better for me to do less farm work.

The next day, before dawn, Captain Liu rang the bell to start work.

When everyone heard the bell, they all went to gather one after another.

Liu Chen was no exception and also followed the large army.

After everyone was assembled, Captain Liu began to divide into groups, and soon several groups were divided.

The plowing and harrowing teams have been arranged one by one.

Leave the cotton and sweet potato fields as spring land, plow it, or leave it alone...let the land recuperate and regenerate to welcome the cold wave, and wait until the spring of next year to show its talents.

Many members of the plowing team here led their cattle and other animals to the fields. This time Captain Liu arranged for more than ten plows to plow the land.

Although he said he would let Liu Chen drive the tractor to plow the land, after all, the tractor had never been used for plowing once, and he didn't know if it could plow well. If it didn't work well or couldn't plow, then he couldn't waste time.

I saw the members of the plowing community leading the cattle to the edge of the field, loading the plowshare, inserting it into the ground, and straightening the plow shaft. They tied the cattle's heel, tripe belt, and cattle rope, tied the skidding rope, pulled the horse's beard and shouted: "Wait!

Wait!" The oxen stepped back to the plow, hung up the hook, and the plow was hitched.

One cow or donkey or mule pulls the plow in front, and a commune member holds the plow handle in the back with one hand to control the depth and direction of the plow; with the other hand, he raises the bullwhip and shouts, and the cow with his head lowered strives forward to plow.

Then he began to move forward slowly.

The renovated land is blown by the breeze, filled with the fragrance of earth. It is like a cotton quilt newly made for the New Year, spread out on the vast land, quietly waiting for the seeds to move in.

Don't underestimate plowing, it is not something ordinary people can do. Plowing is not only a physical job, but also a technical job.

In rural areas, plowing is a physical job, and it is also a technical job. The depth of the plowshare is very particular.

If the plowshare is inserted shallowly, it will not achieve the purpose of plowing. If the plowshare is inserted deep, it will easily damage the plow and injure the livestock. When you go back and forth, you must leave no dead ends and pay attention to bypassing the stones in the field. The plow operator must react quickly.

, the decision must be accurate. When encountering dark rocks, members must pull out the plow in time, otherwise the plow will be broken.

This is physical work. Not only the members of the commune are tired, but the animals are also tired. It is time-consuming and laborious, and not much land can be plowed in a day.

In this era, plowing and cultivating fields is the most basic labor skill. Otherwise, you are not considered a real strong laborer and you cannot earn 10 minutes of full labor.

If you don't know how to do it, you must humbly ask the skilled members for advice on how to plow the land. There are many skills in it.

Not only do you need to be good at your own skills, you also need to work well with the animals pulling the plow.

Basically, the farm animals in the team are all well-trained, docile and well-trained, so there is no need to bother pulling the rope to adjust its walking route.

In this era, not much land can be plowed in a day. The members who cultivate the land have countless blisters on their hands, and the tiger's mouth has been torn and bled many times.

Especially for members who have just started plowing, due to incorrect methods, they hold the handle of the plow and don't know how to push it forward with a little force. The plow shaft never touches the ground, and the plowshare always floats on the ground. Some other people encounter this.

In hard places, I don't know how to press one hand on the plow shaft, causing the plow handle to swing back and forth, which makes the cattle tired but not the people.

It is common to have blisters on your hands.
