Chapter 198: The Knowledge of Farming

In later generations, Northeastern rice is rich in nutrients and has a rich aroma, and is famous all over the world. However, during the Republic of China, the people in the Northeast mainly grew rice. The staple food in the Northeast is sorghum. Compared with rice, sorghum is less delicate and easier to grow.

, but sorghum has low yield and poor taste, far inferior to rice.

Zhang Tinglan has noticed this problem very early and has been thinking about promoting rice. However, it is not easy to grow rice. First of all, to grow rice, you must have developed farmland water conservancy facilities to provide sufficient water sources, and it is also easy to grow rice.

It's not just about scattering the seeds into the ground, but a very tedious process.

The temperature in the Northeast is relatively low. If you want to shorten the growth cycle of rice, you must first use a greenhouse to raise seedlings. The seedlings are raised around the beginning of April every year. In about twenty days, the rice seedlings grow to a height of more than ten centimeters. At this time, the outside

When the temperature is about the same, you can move outside and plant the rice seedlings.

Moreover, before the seedlings are raised, seed soaking and germination must be carried out. Each process has temperature and time requirements. If you want to understand these things clearly, you will not be able to do it without many years of experience. Before Zhang Tinglan traveled to this time and space, he was also a farmer.

Coming from a young age, I had sex with adults a few times when I was young, but then I basically stopped doing these things when I went to school.

Just some time ago, Zhang Tinglan reluctantly relied on memory to sort out the planting process and established a special greenhouse in a manor outside the city. However, it is a pity that there is no cheap and easy-to-use plastic film, so she can only use relatively expensive ones.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan didn't have much time to look after the glass, so he hired a dozen old farmers to help take care of it.

At this time, the land preparation had almost begun, and Zhang Tinglan finally took some time to come over and take care of the rice seedlings. After Zhang Xueliang heard about it, he was also very interested. He also pulled his second brother Zhang Xueming and Feng Yong over to take a look.

Lao Zhang and Lao Feng decided to win, and there was no obstacle to the communication between the younger generations of the family. Feng Yong had a good relationship with Zhang Xueliang, and now the relationship became more natural. In addition, the martial arts hall is about to start classes, Zhang Tingshu, Wu Kaijie

They also all ran to Fengtian. They all knew that Zhang Tinglan could do anything. Now when they heard that he was actually researching rice cultivation, these guys who were worried about the world's chaos all came together to see the excitement.

As soon as these Fengtian dudes entered the manor, they were spotted by the lord here. Liu Guang rushed over from a distance. After several months of careful feeding, Liu Guang became stronger and stronger and ran faster.

It was astonishing. Almost like a bolt of lightning, it rushed to Zhang Xueliang and others in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu all knew that this horse was not easy to mess with. So they all hid far away. Only Zhang Xueming saw Liu Guang's beauty and foolishly wanted to touch it. How could Liu Guang let him take advantage? He immediately opened his mouth and opened his mouth.

Just bite with your mouth.

Zhang Xueming hurriedly withdrew his hands, but he didn't know that Liu Guang was faster. He suddenly stretched out his big head and hit Zhang Xueming's chest. Zhang Xueming was knocked down and squatted on his butt. At this time, Zhang Tinglan came out to greet them. Liu Guang ran triumphantly.

Already.

Zhang Xueliang pulled up Zhang Xueming and said with a smile: "Second brother, get up quickly. That horse, like its owner, has become a sperm long ago, so it won't hurt you."

Zhang Xueming also climbed up at this time, patted the dirt on his body and said: "It's amazing, this guy used a lot of strength when he hit me, otherwise it would be tragic!"

After these guys came in, they looked around. Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "I hope you know how to enjoy it. This manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Just looking at it makes people feel comfortable. It has dozens of acres of land."

Do you want to plant flowers or trees? Or build a tennis court and we can all come and play."

"What are you thinking about? This piece of land I have is full of good fertile land. It would be a shame to waste any bit of it. I plan to turn a third of it into a vegetable plot and plant some eggplants, beans, peppers, potatoes and the like. Later,

We will raise some chickens, ducks, etc., and finally dig a big pond to raise fish, and plant fruit trees around it. From now on, our family of dozens will not have to buy anything!"

"Idiot, do you still have that little money?" Zhang Xueliang asked in surprise.

"Vulgar, really vulgar!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "What you eat is not the food, but the process and the fun. This is called returning to nature."

People like Zhang Xueliang looked at the intoxicated Zhang Tinglan and shook their heads. They really couldn't understand Zhang Tinglan's taste. Maybe they won't understand the value of rural life until they get tired of looking at those reinforced concrete in the future.

At present, the manor is basically bare. There are only a few old farmers preparing the land, and there is nothing interesting to see. They all came to the front of the greenhouse. The shady side of the greenhouse is an earthen wall as high as one person, and the sunny side.

The ceiling is also made of glass windows.

There is also a thick straw curtain, which is laid on the glass at night to keep the heat in. Now it has been rolled aside to allow the sunlight to shine in better. Looking through the glass window, it is densely packed inside.

It was a green seedling, which immediately aroused the curiosity of these guys.

"I'd like to say that this is a rice seedling." Feng Yong said with a smile: "I heard that rice is only a thing that people in the south are tinkering with. It is more realistic for us Northeasterners to grow sorghum."

"That's nonsense. The black soil under our feet is the most fertile land for farming. Whatever you plant grows, and there are already people planting rice in the three northeastern provinces."

"Who?"

"Korean people, when I was exterminating the rebels in southern Liaoning, I discovered a large number of Korean immigrants. They crossed the Yalu River and ran to our territory, reclaiming land and growing rice. And they even laughed at us!

"

"Assholes! These Korean gangsters have robbed our place and dared to laugh at us. It's really hard to kill us." Zhang Xueming suddenly became furious: "Brother Zhuoyan, aren't you in charge of land reclamation? Take back all their land and see if they can survive."

How to get se."

The refugees who came from North Korea were indeed the first group of people to plant rice in the Northeast. In her previous life, Zhang Tinglan still clearly remembered the old people at home telling them that they learned the rice-growing technology from the North Koreans, and they also had to point out the sticks.

The advantage is that the customer is simply deceiving the host!

"Don't worry, once we are all stabilized and all the immigrants from the customs have arrived, we will let the stick go back and forth wherever it goes."

A few people just looking outside were not satisfied, so they all followed Zhang Tinglan into the greenhouse. They saw that the floor of the greenhouse was filled with wooden rectangular grids. This is the so-called seedbed, which is full of green seedlings.

, these people are very strange to see.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan called an old farmer and asked him to introduce the situation to everyone.

This old farmer had a weathered face with criss-crossed ravines. He was a little scared when he saw these richly dressed young men, but when he mentioned raising rice seedlings, he became more energetic and said with a smile: "Generally, we follow the methods given by Mr. Zhang."

Well, we first built a greenhouse. Then we selected a batch of the plumpest rice seeds and soaked them in clean water. It took about a week, and then germination was carried out. In more than a day, the seeds came out."

As the old farmer spoke, the group of people listened with interest: "The water temperature for soaking seeds should be cooler, while the water temperature for germination should be much higher. According to the thermometer Mr. Zhang gave me, it should be about 30 degrees. When the seeds

After germination, continue to lower the temperature to make the buds stronger. Then you have to build a seedbed, which must be flat, straight, and solid. The soil you choose is also very particular. You must use the most fertile soil, and

Mix in a lot of farmyard manure. Mr. Zhang also helped buy a batch of fertilizer powder, and mix it in evenly."

The so-called fertilizer field powder is actually chemical fertilizer. Currently, there is no way to produce it in China. Zhang Tinglan bought some from Japan and used it strictly as a test. The so-called crops are all dependent on fertilizer. Many people in later generations despised pesticides and fertilizers, thinking that

This thing is harmful to your health. You should eat green and organic food.

If these people were thrown into the Republic of China, they would have understood the importance of chemical fertilizers. Without the large-scale use of chemical fertilizers, what people pursue is not eating healthily and green, but filling their stomachs.

Take the current Fengtian as an example. The yield of sorghum per acre of good land is only about 100 kilograms. If rice is planted, the yield may be higher, but it will only be 200 to 300 kilograms, which is only one-sixth of that of later generations.

First, under this situation, the vast majority of people are struggling on the line of life and death throughout their lives.

Once there is a disaster, it is normal for people to starve to death. At this time, people will definitely support chemical fertilizers crazily, but whether they are healthy or not, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs first.

"After the soil is done, spread it evenly in the seedbed, then flatten it and compact it, and make sure it is watered thoroughly. We also made a seedling tray with reeds, filled it with a thin layer of soil, and then placed the seedling tray on the seedbed.

On the top, spread the germinated seeds evenly on the seedling tray. Then it’s time to control the temperature and watering. When watering at the beginning, attach a layer of straw bag to prevent the water from washing away the soil!”

Listening to the introduction of the old farmer, Zhang Xueliang and others are a little big-headed. Farming is not as easy as imagined. This is just the process of raising seedlings. After the seedlings grow, they have to transplant them and then take care of them all the way.

It is not until the autumn harvest that food can be brought home. Even the farmers themselves may not know how much sweat it takes.

The old farmer was almost done with the introduction, and he smiled at Zhang Tinglan and said: "Master Zhang, these rice seedlings are growing very well, and our paddy fields are also ready. If there is a good harvest this year, we old guys are also thinking about it next year."

Try it at home and see what you think!"

The old farmer was still a little hesitant. After all, growing rice is a very technical job, and he was stealing from his own teacher. But Zhang Tinglan smiled nonchalantly and said: "Not only do you have to do it at home, but you also need to promote it on a wider scale. The rice yield per mu will be at least

It is half or even twice as much as sorghum, which means that the same land can support twice the population. Naturally, more people must learn this good thing!" (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature and Novels.

ps: It’s a bit difficult to write about farming. Although I am from a farming family, there are inevitably some omissions. Let’s just take a look at it. Also, it’s the beginning of the month and I still have double monthly tickets. Please give me some.
