In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

Chapter 371 Sowing

After the farmland is plowed, the ground needs to be leveled with a flat tiller to make the ground in the same field ridge basically level. This way, fertilizer and water will not accumulate in the lower areas of the field, causing dryness and waterlogging. die.

Xia Qing certainly knows the importance of flat farmland, but she has no experience. She starts sowing after visually checking that the field has been leveled, and only knows where is high and where is low after watering.

 So Xia Qing always leveled the fields according to the water level when watering them for the first time. But because the seedlings have been planted, all that can be moved is the soil between the seedlings.

After harvesting the first crop, she adjusted the height again. As a result, she over-adjusted and the height was reversed.

　　When meeting through the Lords Alliance, Xia Qing asked carefully how to level the ground. If he still had to rely on visual inspection, he would need to find Zhong Tao and exchange points for a level for construction.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zhong introduced to Xia Qing an ancient farming tool for leveling the land: the flat shovel.

The shape of the flat rake is similar to the large iron rake Xia Qing used to rake grass, but it is made of fine wicker sticks as thick as a finger and is specially used to level the land.

Xia Qing went to Territory No. 10 to see the flat bamboo made by Shi Zhong, and made one after returning to Territory No. 10. It will finally come in use today.

The sheep boss pulled the plow and plowed two and a half acres of land easily. Xia Qing fed it tender cabbage leaves and compressed rations, removed the plow stick and replaced it with a flat tiller, and then repeatedly used the flat tiller on the deeply plowed field. Restored three times.

 After using the flat hoe, Xia Qing felt comfortable looking at the farmland.

 At 2:30 a.m. the next day, Xia Qing got up on time, soaked the rapeseed and wheat seeds in pollution-free spring water with temperature-adjusted pesticides added, and started soaking the seeds. Then he went out to guard the territory overnight.

During this period, Xia Qing went to bed at around eight o'clock and got up at two o'clock, lining up shifts with Hu Xiufeng's team to protect the agricultural machinery and construction teams in the territory.

Xia Qing has to harvest crops, stay up late, and prepare for autumn plowing. It is of course a lie to say that he is not tired. Fortunately, the green light spinach seeds in the terraced fields were not yet mature. Xia Qing drank a bottle of super nutrient solution every day, and her body could still hold on.

 The construction team will be able to connect the west wall and the north wall of the territory today, and Xia Qing will be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

 After finishing the morning shift from three to six o'clock, Xia Qing had breakfast and it was time to sow.

 The couple Qi Fu carried a wooden columbine and came to territory No. 3.

This columbine is different from the one Xia Qing saw in Qi Fu's territory last time. It was improved again by Shi Zhong and Qi Fu. There are three iron pipes at the lower end, and a trencher is installed under each iron pipe. The seeds enter the iron pipe through the columbine and fall into the soil trench created by the trencher.

 Three iron pipes, that is, three ridges can be sown at one time, and the efficiency is three times that of a single pipe. This kind of columbine only sells for 30 points. Xia Qing feels that the pricing is quite conscientious.

Qi Fu explained the reason why he brought his wife here with him, "We have limited seeds and cannot afford to waste them. Let your sister-in-law sow the seeds more evenly than directly using a columbine." Qi Fu said cheerfully, "Qing, you hold me and I hold you. Let your sister-in-law sow the seeds.”

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." Of course Xia Qing had no objection. He hung the columbine's drawstring on his shoulder, held the columbine handle steady with both hands, and walked forward slowly at the speed required by Qi Fu.

Qi Fu held the two handles to control the depth of sowing. Yuan Yan followed beside him and put seeds into the cob. The three of them walked from one end of the greenhouse to the other, and three ridges of wheat were sown.

 Qi Fu put down the columbine and carefully dug out a small furrow at the edge of the field for Xia Qing to see. Xia Qing looked at the evenly arranged seeds in the soil and sighed, "This columbine is a good thing, and my sister-in-law's hands are really steady."

Yuan Yan smiled. Her face burned by the acid rain had grown some flesh, and her complexion was much better. "It was you who pulled it steadily. The columbine didn't sway at all."

Qi Fu thought that Xia Qing had picked up all the big stones in the field, and the three openers at the bottom of the columbine would not be knocked off by the stones, so they were so stable. Although there is only one person in Xia Qing's territory and there is not much farmland, she is willing to work hard and use fertilizer. Now comparing it, Qi Fu found that the wheat grains produced by Xia Qing's first crop were plumper than those in his field.

If Xia Qing knew what Qi Fu was thinking, he would definitely tell him directly: This is the high-quality wheat seed I bought with a lot of money, so it looks fuller.

Qi Fu patted the soil on his hands, lifted the columbine up, and discussed with Xia Qing, "It looks dense now, but only half of our wheat seeds can germinate, and they won't be dense when they grow out. Just sow them like this?"

 “Okay.” Pull up the columbine and continue sowing.

 Slow work leads to careful work. Sowing is a very important part of farming. It took the three of them a whole morning to sow two acres of yellow light wheat, half an acre of green light wheat and one acre of yellow light rape.

 As soon as the seeds are sown, Xia Qing’s heart will be at ease.

The three of them sat on the edge of the field drinking water and taking a break. Yuan Yan asked, "Xia Qing, how many greenhouses do you plan to build?"

Xia Qing had planned it for a long time, "Build two buildings, one for growing vegetables and one for raising chickens. The vegetables grown are enough for me to eat, but if there are more, I will be too busy. Where is my sister-in-law?"

Yuan Yan replied, "I plan to leave a few workers to spend the winter in the territory and plant ten greenhouses. Once the greenhouses are built, they will not be demolished. They will be used to raise rice seedlings and vegetable seedlings in the spring."

 The price of vegetables will definitely be higher in winter than now, so there is no harm in having several greenhouses. Xia Qing asked, "Sister-in-law, have you bought the plastic film for your greenhouse? I still have two extra pieces in my hand. If they are not enough, you can take them back and use them."

Xia Qing used ordinary green light spinach to exchange five pieces of thickened greenhouse plastic film with Li Si and Tang Huai, which were of better quality than the plastic films Kuang Qingwei could get.

Xia Qing was willing to give it in exchange. Of course Yuan Yan would not refuse and discussed with her, "I am short of money now. Can I give you points after I sell the vegetables?"

Xia Qing nodded in agreement, and Qi Fu asked, "Xia Qing, after we finish the greenhouse and the wall, can we go for a walk in the evolutionary forest before it snows?"

Seeing the two allies looking at him eagerly, Xia Qing smiled, "Of course, let's go to the valley of No. 50 Mountain to try our luck."

After Qi Fu and his wife happily left with the columbine on their shoulders, Xia Qing went to check on the progress of the wall construction. The construction team is installing the last 500 meters of the northern fence. At this rate, it will definitely be completed this afternoon.

Xia Qing felt so happy that she went to the grass and bushes under the big chrysanthemum tree on the high **** to discuss with the sheep boss who was supervising the work, "Boss, I have finished planting the seeds, shall we go home for dinner?"

　　When the southern wall of the territory was being built, Mr. Yang went over to take a peek and lost interest. He should eat and drink, and his days would go on as usual.

But when he found that the construction team drove their cars up the northern isolation zone and started construction, Mr. Yang immediately called Xia Qing and asked her to block the big chun tree behind him and get ready for battle.

There is still a distance of more than 200 meters from the big chun tree to the northern isolation zone, and it is blocked by dense grass and shrubs. Therefore, the busy construction team did not realize that a powerful power-evolved sheep had listed them as an attack target. Be ready to push them away at any time.

This green toon tree is an important source of food for the sheep boss, and Xia Qing understands its mood of protecting the food. I repeatedly assured it that the construction team would not touch or get close to its precious chun tree. But the sheep boss is still worried. As long as the construction team comes, he will be here to keep an eye on it.

The construction team was still making noises nearby, and Xia Qing actually told it to go home for dinner. The sheep boss refused to even look at Xia Qing, not to mention turning his head.
