In my days as a farmer

Xia Dongli was a little distressed these days.

Although he immediately judged that it was extremely unreliable when he saw the reply on the Internet, the human spirit does not rely on reason. Although Xia Dongli thought it was impossible in his heart, he still couldn't help paying attention.

But everything in this world cannot stand attention. When Xia Dongli observed intently, he was shocked to find that all the details of his past life habits had infiltrated the traces of Xun Yao.

He got into the habit of not turning on the water heater before taking a bath, because Xun Ao would warm it up for him in advance.

Every day after getting up and passing the living room, he would reach out to grab the cup on the table. It was because Xun Ao would help him soak the cold salt water before going out for a walk with the dog.

For example, the light diet he is used to, for example, every time he goes out, he will directly sit on the back seat of the small three rounds with his hat and hat, for example, his biological clock has been delayed for half an hour for no reason-he no longer needs to follow the biological clock of rice to wake up. The dog is ready to eat.

There were many more inadvertent changes of habit, but most importantly, he got used to having another person in the family, and even stopped being polite to him.

Habits are really scary...

Xia Dongli slowly took the dry towel handed by Xun Yu to wipe his hair... This was also a new habit he had developed. Xia Dongli buried his face in the towel with the sweet scent of the sun, trying to smother himself to death.

Obviously, he was still taking care of Xiaoyu when he brought him back, how long has it been now, why is he being taken care of instead?

What's more, when he observed Xun Yao, he was distracted by looking at it, and he didn't realize it. Every time he met the young man's smiling eyes, he realized that he was looking at others in a daze.

And he didn't notice until he was conscious, the way Xun Yao looked at himself, that kind of look was not the kind look at his son, and of course it wasn't the way he looked at his boss or his friend!

Xia Dongli has never been in a relationship, but he is not stupid, and his warm eyes are not unrecognizable.

What's more, Xun Yu didn't mean to hide his thoughts. When the four eyes met, the tenderness in the eyes was as clear and transparent as resin, with a sweet sticky feeling, trying to wrap up poor Comrade Xiaoxia little by little.

He felt like the stupidest frog ever being boiled in cold water and the worst part was that the water the man used to boil him was also honey water, so that when he found that the water temperature was not right At that time, the honey had already stuck to the feet, so sticky and thick that one just wanted to be a salted fish.

Later, he no longer dared to meet people's eyes, and the calmness he had when he didn't know it before had disappeared. Xun Ao put his friendship in front of him, sincerity and hotness, Xia Dongli was a little difficult to face for a while.

This happened too fast, and his mind is too confused now, the only reaction he can make is to avoid it first, otherwise he can't think at all.

The matter is too big, Xia Dongli is not a person who knows how to play around, and you can't joke about emotional matters, especially Xun Ao is in a special situation. If he doesn't think about it carefully, he will be irresponsible to the two of them.

Fortunately, they were really busy these days, which gave him a chance to breathe.

On the second day after the flock arrived, the little boss led a mechanical harvesting team rumbling up the small slope, and Xia Dongli faced a mechanized pasture harvesting.

To be honest, he thought that the combined summer rice harvesting scene in South China he had seen on TV was shocking enough, but the grass harvesting was an eye-opener for him. For city dwellers who have never seen large-scale mechanical harvesting , this scene can even be described as magical.

After determining the stubble height of the pasture, the harvester raised the harvesting knife to the corresponding gear, and then drove the blue car off the truck in a posture, and slowly entered Xia Dongli's pasture field. With the roar of the machine, it opened its mouth wide, swallowing up all the pasture in the place it passed.

Since Xia Dongli also used mechanized sowing when sowing, the gap in the pasture field fits the shaft perfectly, so there is no need to worry about the tires pressing on the pasture field. This is also the benefit of standardizing the wheelbase of agricultural implement tires.

"In the future, when you borrow a car by yourself, you'd better ask about the wheelbase. If it's not a national standard, you have to be careful." The little boss shared his experience with Xia Dongli, who was a little nervous standing beside him.

A man who was originally standing next to the little boss in an accompanying posture walked up to Xia Dongli in two or three steps, and he took out his business card from a small golden box and handed it to Xia Dongli: "Hello, sir, my dear!" My surname is Liu, my name is Liu Quanshun, you can just call me Lao Liu, I am the business manager of Liu Dafa Agricultural Machinery Leasing Company, this time we brought a new type of small harvester that our factory purchased last year, suitable for family farms."

Seeing Xia Dongli taking the business card and showing curiosity, the man squinted his eyes and felt that there was a door. He smiled like a Maitreya, but turned his mouth quickly, obviously memorizing a series of parameters: "Our product is four All-wheel drive, enough horsepower, can adapt to most terrains in our Northeast region, such as the land of your house, sir, is no problem at all!"

"You can see that our machine is now equipped with double cutter heads, but it can be connected to 4 sets of cutter heads, and the maximum harvesting area will be twice the current size. Of course, these are basic data and it is not a big deal. Its The biggest advantage is actually the convenience.”

"Our harvester comes with a secondary crushing function. After the grass is harvested, it will automatically enter the crushing state, and then be sent to the storage device in the storage for compression, and then it will be automatically bundled."

While he was speaking, the little blue harvester suddenly stopped, and a moment later its rear compartment opened, and a rectangular haystack was pushed out and fell to the ground.

Xia Dongli slowly opened his mouth.

Liu Quanshun likes to see farmers' expressions like this the most. He coughed lightly, "A haystack like this is about 40 to 60 kilograms, and fresh grass is heavier. The reason why we set the current value is because of consideration Manual handling is more convenient, if you have mechanical handling equipment, you can adjust it to a maximum of about 120 kg, and the heavy weight also saves consumables.”

"In addition to bundling, we can also wrap the film. Of course, the wrapping film needs to be purchased separately." Seeing that Xia Dongli was very interested, Lao Liu took out his mobile phone, clicked on a photo and enlarged it to the potential customer Look, in the picture are white round rolls placed on the grass after harvesting one by one.

"This kind of wrapping film is more convenient to make silage. The loss rate of making silage directly from fresh grass after harvesting is the lowest. If it is used with yeast, the loss rate can be lower than 5.00%." ​​Lao Liu Passionate Amway: "Our forage The film has low light transmittance and high toughness. After packaging, it can maintain a stable anaerobic environment and help lactic acid fermentation. If you are not in a hurry to eat, it can be stored in the wild for more than two years. If you put it in the warehouse, it can keep fresh longer."

"The production of silage in autumn is better, which can guarantee the supply of forage in winter." The little boss interjected, "But I don't need it. We have a large demand for forage, and it can be consumed when we bring it back."

While they were talking, the harvester spit out another grass block.

"Your pasture is good." The little boss was a little surprised. He looked at the harvester that had just finished a short walk, patted Xia Dongli on the shoulder and said to Lao Liu: "I estimate that Xiaoxia's family's farmland has a production capacity of 1.2 acres." more than a ton."

"Fresh grass should be heavier." Lao Liu was more optimistic. He asked casually, "What kind of grass is this? Isn't it alfalfa?"

Xia Dongli was calculating in his mind the annual income he could get based on the yield per mu, and replied, "It's goat beans."

Old Liu froze for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Isn't goat beans poisonous?"

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, and Xia Dongli was shocked when he heard the words. He said hesitantly, "No, it's not poisonous. These are the seeds I bought from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and our animals have eaten them several times. It's alright."

Under the watchful eyes of the little boss and Lao Liu, he spoke more and more softly, so he wanted to search his phone.

Xia Dongli did search for this kind of forage on Du Niang before planting grass, and he did not see any poisonous news, but since Lao Liu is engaged in agricultural machinery leasing, he should know this business very well.

As an outsider, he always has an inexplicable sense of guilt in front of insiders.

The little boss looked at Lao Liu, and Lao Liu murmured: "I remember hearing someone say it... I just said it casually, and I'm not sure."

Looking at Xia Dongli again, Xia Dongli was not very confident, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into embarrassment for a while, and there was only the roar of the harvester engine left for a while.

"Xiao Xia is not planting goat beans, but Oriental goat beans. These are two varieties." In this awkward atmosphere, a faint voice came from afar, and Chen Li panted and walked quickly under the gaze of everyone. Come, his hair is disheveled, and the white robe representing the researcher is full of wrinkles, with unknown stains, looking extremely embarrassed.

In stark contrast, Xun Ao, who was carrying a seemingly heavy luggage behind him, was still walking smoothly.

"Researcher Chen?" Xia Dongli was a little shocked. Seeing that the other party looked exhausted, he quickly reached out to help, and pulled him up to a small high ground where they were standing now, and gave him a smooth ride: " Why are you in such a hurry? It’s just started to collect.”

Chen Li came here to collect the harvest data of the pasture in the first year. Although Xia Dongli told him that he could pass it on to him after the harvest was completed, Chen Li insisted on going to the site to see this variety that they had cultivated for many years for the first time. Actual receipts.

In order to record this scene, Chen Li also specially brought his beloved big "cannon barrels". He plans to keep these photos as his own collection. Yes, Researcher Chen is a photographer in private.

But unfortunately-

"I met a group of downhill wild boars with their cubs on the road!" Chen Li took a few deep breaths, and after slowing down, he felt sad and angry: "I don't know what stimulated that litter, it kicked my car to the ground, but luckily everyone is fine. "

So researcher Chen, who was forced to be bullied, had no choice but to stop the fellow's car. The fellow was nice and sent him to the Xiaojin Village bus station.However, rural buses usually run every hour. When Assistant Xiao Li arrived, it was still lunch break, and there was a two-hour window. He didn't want to miss the harvesting scene, so he decided to walk uphill.

His physical strength is not bad, but he underestimated a whole set of SLR equipment and the scorching sun above his head.He was exhausted as soon as he walked halfway. Fortunately, he met Rice who came out to play, and Rice helped him find Xun Ao to carry his bag, so that Researcher Chen arrived in time.

This experience was too tragic, Chen Li expressed that he did not want to recall it for the time being.He put on a serious and professional expression, and explained to the little boss the difference between the oriental goat bean and the goat bean.

Simply put, the former is pasture grass with a long history of cultivation, while the latter mostly appears as medicine now.

In order to reassure the two of them completely, he also found out the photos and information of Goat Bean for comparison. Although the two are cousins, they look very similar, and the only difference between their names is "Oriental". Whether it is flower color or plant height, there are huge differences, as long as they are put together and compared, it is very obvious.

In fact, what Lao Liu said is correct. Goat beans themselves contain goatine. Apart from being toxic, eating this stuff will also lower the blood sugar of animals. Once the excess is consumed, the livestock will suffer from hypoglycemia, and serious complications will occur. .

"The goat bean planted by Xiaoxia is an improved variety of our research institute. Its alkaloids have been reduced to about 0.1%, and it is basically harmless to animals." He even took out a test data, which was obtained from Xia before Dongli took a sample and went back for inspection.

With his endorsement, the little boss naturally had no doubts, and he even started a discussion with researcher Chen Li about some professional data on the report.

"The biggest advantage of goat bean lies in its protein content. The effect of increasing fat and milk is very significant, but it is a concentrated feed, so it is fine to eat it in the short term. In the long term, it is recommended to feed it with roughage to avoid digestive dysfunction."

Look, he even gives feeding advice!

When the little boss heard Chen Li "inadvertently" say that not long ago, a Greek farmer spent a lot of money to purchase this kind of forage seeds from across the country, his attitude suddenly changed, and he became obviously more enthusiastic.

Chen Li's contribution is far more than this. When he learned that Xia Dongli was going to harvest nine acres of land, and the remaining one acre was used to collect seeds, he immediately shook his head and expressed his inappropriateness: "The perennial plant of the oriental goat bean is the first The quality of the annual seeds is not good. Instead of harvesting a group of seeds whose germination rate is unknown, it is better to harvest all of them. Now this season is a vigorous growth period. When it rains a few times, there may be another wave in autumn. .”

"But Xiaoxia's pasture is the first year." Seeing the little boss's eyes light up, he hastily added: "The autumn crop must be left with hanging snow, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter."

The little boss who probably guessed that his order actually took advantage of it hurriedly patted Xia Dongli on the shoulder, expressing that he wanted to make an appointment for pasture for the coming year, but Xia Dongli politely refused on the excuse that he wanted to raise sheep.

The little boss immediately showed his comprehension, and didn't make any more entanglements. He watched the pieces of forage grass being weighed and carried into the car, and settled the payment very readily.

The reason why it was so refreshing was because he thought that Xia Dongli's grass was going to be re-raised next year.

During the chat, he had already heard Xia Dongli say that he still had some contracted land that had not been planted. If all of them were planted with grass, how could the sheep in their family eat them.

However, it is also the law of the market that the rare and the expensive get the high price. It is good to be able to take advantage of it once. Therefore, his mentality is quite peaceful, and he only thinks that as a farm owner who runs a slaughterhouse and a breeding farm, he must have a good relationship with the pasture growers. relation.

What he didn't know was that the young man in front of him was actually trying to steal business from him.

Selling pasture is indeed a way to make money, but his output is not large, and the selling price follows the market price, without pricing power.And how can the money for selling raw products compare to the money for selling processed products these days?

Xia Dongli had already made up his mind. If there were no accidents in the future, he would not sell pasture grass. If he had to sell it, he would have to sell the processed pasture grass.

Comrade Xiaoxia put away the abacus beads in his heart, smiled and sent away the little boss who had returned with a full load, and then met Researcher Chen with a gratified smile.

What, what's wrong?

Xia Dongli was a little flabbergasted by his expression, he couldn't help but took a step back, and then bumped into Xun Ao who was standing behind him, Xun Ao didn't move, but gently supported him.

"That, Xiao Xia~" Chen Li rubbed his nose and looked at him with some embarrassment and hope: "Are you still short of labor here?"

Behind what Xia Dongli couldn't see, Xun Ao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The author has something to say: Chen Li: It’s summer vacation, find a part-time job you like.

Xun Yao: …………… stare at
