Chapter 189: Increase production
The weather this year is quite good, and there are no disasters. The crops are growing well.
Farmers have been busy for a year, and they are looking forward to a good harvest.
The ears of corn are long, and the corn grains on the top are full and firm. On one corn stalk, two or three ears of corn can grow. Who would be unhappy to see it?
The bean stalks more than one and a half feet long are full of bean pods, all of which are full of seeds, and the golden beans inside are exposed with a grin. Who would not be happy to see it?
Purple sorghum, golden ears of grain, bowed heavily and bowed their heads.
When a gust of wind blows, the ears of sorghum and corn nod and sway with the wind, as if they are dancing to celebrate the harvest. Who doesn’t like it?
Autumn harvest, no matter how tired you are, is still a joy.
The Second Brigade not only planted fields this year.
Yu Shouguang really followed what Xu Shiyan said, and planted all the ginseng land he made last year with soybeans.
The soybeans grew unexpectedly well, which made everyone very happy.
Needless to say, these soybeans are not within the quota of the superiors, so there is no need to hand them in.
At that time, it will be sent to the oil mill for oil extraction. The soybean oil family can share some, and the bean cake can be saved for next year\'s ginseng ground for top dressing.
Then participate in the land to increase production, and the income of the big guys will increase.
Ouch, when I think about it this way, I feel that life is very hopeful.
During the autumn harvest season, even the students are off for farming, and everyone in the team, old and young, who can work, has to go to the fields to work.
After finishing their work, those in the team have to collect their own private land.
Both Xu\'s family and father are on the mountain, they are not needed in the team for the autumn harvest, but they can\'t keep their own land.
So Xu Chenghou stayed in Shendi, Xu Shiyan went out early and returned late, and went back to collect the private land.
Su Anying was more than eight months pregnant, with a big belly, and wanted to help out, so scared that Xu Shiyan hurriedly coaxed his wife home.
In his previous life, Xu Shiyan was seriously injured due to an accident at the mine and could not move.
At that time, the brothers all moved away, and Xu Chenghou was too busy with the work in the team.
Xu\'s family has private land and a small piece of wasteland, so they are really busy, so Su Anying went back to pick sweet potatoes with the child in her arms.
Now the Xu family doesn\'t have so much private land, and there is no small wasteland. Besides, Xu Shiyan is doing well, how can he let his pregnant wife work?
The private land of the two families is not much, less than one mu, and Xu Shiyan will finish it soon.
Just at this time, the team informed that starting on September 18th, the No. 2 Bridge will be open.
As a technician, Xu Shiyan naturally had to join him.
On the 18th, Xu Shiyan led a group of young men straight to the No. 2 bridge. When they got there, they arranged for people to work.
Xu Shiyan took Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming, Feng Chao and others straight to the fifty-foot test ginseng field that was topdressed last year.
"We don\'t care about anything else, let\'s get the fifty feet out today.
Soak the scale on the spot, and then compare it with the ginseng next to it to see how the effect of topdressing with bean cake water is. "
Xu Shiyan pointed to the fifty-foot club and said confidently.
In fact, there is no need to pull out the mallet, just looking at the mallet seedlings on it, there is an obvious difference.
The top-dressed ones here are fifty feet long, and the stick seedlings can grow half a foot taller than those without top-dressing, and the stems are also thick, and some of them can catch up with little fingers.
Just this seedling, how bad is the mallet underneath?
Without further ado, the big guys began to remove the ginseng from the ginseng shed and pick up the ginseng.
Yang Chunming swung his three teeth and brought up three trees at once.
"Hey, this mallet is really good. Look, it\'s pretty good."
When the three-toothed body shook its arms, the three clubs were exposed. It was really plump and juicy, and it looked good.
When the others heard this, they were also anxious, and hurriedly swung the three teeth to plan.
Then, I heard Feng Chao also say that the mallet looks good,
The fifty-foot-long club used as a test field happens to be a string.
There are also people joining in the party. When the big guys heard that the club is big here, they all came to join in the fun.
Some people brought more than a dozen sticks from over there for comparison.
Compared with each other, it is really different, the one with top dressing is a circle bigger than the one without top dressing.
"Okay, put these mallets in separate bags, go back and mark them, and process them separately."
Not only to test the output of water ginseng, but also to test the shipment rate of the products, so as to determine the real effect of topdressing.
Xu Shiyan must be able to speak well. According to what Xu Shiyan said, Zhao Jianshe and the others put the fifty-foot clubs in separate bags, and wrote marks on the sacks with a pen.
By the end of the work in the afternoon, the fifty-foot-long club was filled with eleven sacks.
When I went up the mountain in the morning, I brought a large steelyard.
So some good guys came over and found wooden poles to pass through the rings of the steelyard, and the hooks of the scale hooked the sacks.
The boys on both sides raised the wooden poles, and the sacks were lifted off the ground. Someone at the other end fiddled with the big weights until the weights lifted slightly, and then reported the count.
"Ninety-eight catties."
The sacks in this day and age are small, and the weight of beans and other things is heavy. Most of the sticks are about 100 catties.
All the eleven sacks were weighed, and then the weight of the sacks was removed, and finally calculated, fifty feet, a total of more than one thousand catties and one hundred catties of water ginseng.
One sack will deduct two catties of soil, that is to say, an average of one zhang yields just over twenty catties.
The side without top dressing, the best one is a 16-jin mallet.
Based on such a comparison, after topdressing, the average yield per ten feet of stick increased by about 4 jin, reaching 25%.
This data is already very powerful. If the three thousand feet are all fertilized this year, how much will the output be?
Everyone was very happy. The experiment proved that Xu Shiyan\'s method of fermenting bean cakes for top dressing is feasible and can effectively increase production.
This is definitely good news and cause for celebration.
Everyone happily loaded the sticks into the carriage, and drove the carriage down the mountain to go back.
As soon as he arrived at the processing plant, Yu Shouguang hurried over to ask about the situation of the stick before the truck was unloaded.
Autumn is too busy, Yu Shouguang is sitting in the team, arranging various affairs, and has no time to go up the mountain.
Before Xu Shiyan could speak, the people who followed talked about the production of sticks in a hurry.
Especially the fifty feet of fertilizer topdressing, the output has reached a new height.
When Yu Shouguang and the others heard this, they were so happy that they almost jumped up. The 25% increase in production was beyond imagination.
"Xiao Xu, you have made a great contribution. Planting sticks this fall, remember to apply all the base fertilizers."
Yu Shouguang was so excited that he was incoherent. As the secretary of the second brigade, he knew best what the increase in production represented.
"Uncle Yu, the processing factory also has to make goods separately, and we have to test the delivery of the sticks after topdressing."
Xu Shiyan looked at Yu Shouguang\'s cheerfulness and didn\'t want to disturb him, but there are some things that must be explained.
"Okay, okay, leave this matter to me, don\'t worry."
Yu Shouguang immediately called the person in charge of the processing factory and told them to process separately.
The processing factory got orders from Yu Shouguang and knew the importance of the matter.
So a separate manpower was arranged to be responsible for the processing of these sticks, and a separate area was set aside to dry the dry goods, and even the forks where the goods were placed were marked.
"Secretary, don\'t worry, these goods will definitely not be mixed up. I promise you, if something goes wrong, you will take me down."
