Chapter 138: hail
??Chapter 138 Hail
?? One season's worth of cows' hair is abundant, and for ten days, there is still some money left over to earn a bicycle.
??If this is a big house, I am afraid it will attract the envy and envy of many people. But in the second team, no one really thought it was a problem.
??Some fathers and sons or husband and wife go to the mountains together to collect cattle and hair, and they can earn more than 300 yuan this season.
??This thing mainly needs to have a means of transportation. It is useless to point to walking into the mountains, so it is really important to have a bicycle.
??Niu Maoguang has just passed the season, and the work in the ginseng field has started to be busy again.
?? Weed the grass twice, and then Xu Shiyan's fifty-foot test field should be fertilized.
??It is easy to weed the grass twice, as long as weed the big grass in the field, unlike the first weed, you have to loosen the soil along the way.
??However, the second brigade had to weed the 10,000-foot ginseng land twice, and it was really busy for a while.
??Xu Shiyan still led people to work in the ginseng field. Not only did he have to lead the workers to pull weeds, but he also had to lead people to fertilize the fifty-foot test field.
?? In the middle of the two rows of ginseng, use a small pick to create a small ditch.
?? Then use a long-handled spoon to scoop up the bean cake water one by one and pour it into the ditch, then cover it with soil.
?? This job is said to be light, but it is actually dirty and tiring.
??The bean cake has been fermented in the puddle for such a long time, it stinks.
??No way, everyone covered their noses with cloth strips and worked hard.
?? Fortunately, it is only fifty feet long, so I finished it in two days.
??On June 19th, everyone was working in the field, when suddenly the sky became cloudy, the wind was blowing, and there was lightning and thunder in an instant.
?? Bean-sized raindrops fell, and along with the raindrops, there were even pigeon egg-sized hailstones, crackling down.
??Fortunately, the ginseng sheds were all thatched in the ginseng fields, and the bewildered people hid directly under the ginseng sheds, but the hail didn't hit them.
??Just listening to the hailstones falling on the ginseng shed, and thinking about the clanging of the boards, everyone's heart sank.
?? Such a large hailstorm does not know how wide the coverage is.
?? It’s okay if it’s just the ginseng land, after all, it’s covered by a ginseng shed, so it won’t cause any loss.
??If this hits you on a big field, you are afraid that the crops in the field will be ruined again.
?? "Brother Xu, what do you think is wrong with the weather this year? There was a late frost a few days ago, and here comes another hailstorm.
??Well, I don’t know if the land in our brigade has been hit by hailstones.
?? If this happens, we may not even have enough rations this year. "
??Several people sat on the surface of the pool to hide from the rain, while watching the hailstones falling outside and sighing.
?? "Who knows what's going on this year? Alas, we old farmers depend on the sky to eat. Whether we are full or hungry, it all depends on whether God rewards us. It's difficult."
??Xu Shiyan sighed, he had the impression that many places in the county were affected by the hailstorm.
??Songjiang Commune lost thousands of acres due to the hailstorm. This year's life is probably not going to be easy.
??Thunderstorms and hailstorms came together. Within half an hour, the rain gradually subsided, and the hailstones stopped falling.
??After the rain, the sky cleared up, and everyone came out from under the pavilion.
??I saw a layer of hailstones in the road, shining brightly, the big ones were like pigeon eggs, and the small ones were about the size of fingers.
??Everyone sighed for a while, it's over, this year's harvest will be blind again.
?? "God, you are bringing us disaster. This year, it's late frost and hail. How are you going?"
?? "Hey, Technician Xu, can't you predict the weather? Then why didn't you predict the hailstorm today?"
??Suddenly, there was a chuckle from over there, and someone looked at Xu Shiyan with contempt and taunted him.
??Xu Shiyan saw that it was none other than Qiao Hui, the former technician in the team.
??Because of Wanshuang, Xu Shiyan was promoted to be a technician, while Qiao Hui had no choice but to stay in the team to work because the internship period hadn't passed yet.
?? Probably because he was robbed of his job, he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Shiyan, so he made a sarcastic statement at this moment.
?? "Student, do you think there is a way to prevent hailstorms? Even if I predict it in advance, can you still put sheds on all the big fields?"
??Xu Shiyan shook his head. Young people just can't hold their breath, and when they encounter something, they rush to stand up.
??What is the meaning of saying this? It can only make people laugh.
??Even if there are greenhouses in later generations, it may not be able to prevent that big hailstone in such a situation.
?? Besides, there is no one who keeps all the fields in greenhouses.
?? Sure enough, when Xu Shiyan said this, everyone laughed.
?? "That's right, college student, or you can invent something that can block all our fields, so you won't be afraid of hailstones."
??Originally, Qiao Hui just wanted to ridicule Xu Shiyan, but when Xu Shiyan satirized him back, he couldn't help but snorted, turned around and left.
?? "What is there to coax? Do you really think you are a college student?
??He is just an ordinary farmer, and he was recommended to study for two years because of his connections.
?? One bottle is not full and half of the bottle is dangling, there is not much ink in the stomach, but it is bigger than anyone else. Cut, what the hell? "
??As soon as Qiao Hui left, the young men couldn't help complaining.
?? "If brother Xu has the opportunity to study, he must be better than him."
??Xu Shiyan shook his head quickly when he heard it, "What's the point? I haven't finished junior high school yet, so I still can't compare with others.
??Come on, let's all work, he is just doing an internship here, and he will leave after a while, why bother making trouble? "
?? Everyone thought about it, it was just an intern, and he had to leave in a few days.
?? "Yes, yes, work, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
??When everyone returned to the village from Candi, they heard that the hailstorm was not small. Not only the team, but also some places in the commune were hit by hailstones.
??Fortunately, the affected area of ??Donggang Commune is not too large, which is a blessing in misfortune.
??Even so, everyone is depressed.
??I worked so hard all year round just for that little food. If things go on like this, will I still be able to eat the rations this autumn?
??When the farmer has no free time, weeds should be plucked twice in the ginseng field, and the field should be shoveled twice.
??No matter how bad the mood is, you still have to work. If you don’t work, won’t the remaining crops be barren?
??The summer solstice passed after busy work, and at this time, Gastrodia elata was unearthed in the forest, and it was time to pick the ganoderma lucidum.
??Many people in the team began to form gangs and go to the mountains to do side jobs.
?? Several young men who got along well with each other from the neighbors all ran to find Xu Shiyan, and the big guys went into the mountains together to dig Gastrodia elata.
??Digging Gastrodia elata is not like pulling Niu Maoguang, you have to go to Dadianzi, Gastrodia elata can be found in many places.
??In his previous life, Xu Shiyan lived here for many years, and he knew very well where there were many Gastrodia elata around.
??So he took Sun Xiaofeng and others, either to Kaifeng Fork Road, or to Daniugou, or to Xiaoshahe and Dashahe.
??Although it is a bit further away, they have bicycles, so there is no delay in starting early.
?? It is precisely because of the distance and few people go there, they can encounter a lot of Gastrodia elata in a day.
?? Gastrodia elata, Orchidaceae, Gastrodia elata are saprophytic herbaceous plants. They have no roots and no leaves, and cannot perform photosynthesis. They can only rely on the accompanying Armillaria armillaria to provide nutrition for growth and reproduction.
?? Armillaria are mostly distributed in broad-leaved forests, especially eucalyptus and linden forests, so when you dig Gastrodia elata, you should also look for such forests.
