Chapter 130： farming (middle)

Mu Yangling tried back and forth a few times, and finally mastered the skills after the plough broke three lines, which made Mu Yangling very proud, "Father, maybe I was born to farm."

Mu Shi glanced at his daughter's hand, thought of her strength, and said, "If you say that you are a natural hunter, you still believe it. When your father took you into the mountains for the first time, you caught a roe deer alive."

But that is a skill from a previous life, Mu Yang slandered, isn't the hunting skill similar to catching people?

No matter what Mu Shi said, Mu Yangling was very content.

The father and daughter joined forces, and they drove all the way in a short while. When Ma Liu saw that there was more than an acre, he waved his hand: "Okay, stop planting first, or the soil will dry in a while."

The father and daughter approached Ma Liu, and Ma Liu taught them how to plant seeds, saying, "Just sow it in slowly, in the middle, don't crook it, not too much, not too little. ."

Mu Yangling asked curiously, "Who defines this density?"

Ma Liushi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "How can anyone say that? The ancestors have always planted this way. In the past, there were people who didn't believe in evil. They thought that if they planted more seeds, they would reap more. Who knew that the wheat seedlings that grew out were too dense. The ears of wheat are not long enough for a finger, what a waste."

Ma Liu Shi said that, Mu Shi became nervous. He squatted on the ground and carefully counted the number of wheat. Mu Yangling looked speechless, "Father, when can you finish the count like this? It's probably enough."

Mu Yangling put the wheat seed in his hand, "Try it."

Mu Shi grabbed a handful of wheat seeds with his hands and carefully placed them down. Ma Liushi frowned. The wheat seeds in the gully were dense and sparse. She blocked her chest in one breath and turned to look at the small blog posts.

Several children have already walked out of the way.

Ma Liu went up to teach Mu Shi again, and after three trips, she gave up, "Stone, planting seeds is the easiest, you just leak a little bit between your fingers, the falling wheat is just right, what are you doing? won't it?"

Mu Shi was embarrassed, "Auntie, I have a big palm, and the wheat is disobedient in my hand. When I get nervous, it will decrease, and when I relax a little, it will fall down..."

Ma Liu looked at his nephew speechlessly, and then said after a while: "Forget it, you should cover the soil behind you, right? This will always be the case? Cover the seeds in the gully with the soil with your feet."

Mu Shi nodded again and again, "I know this."

Ma Liu looked at it for a while, and after making sure that there was no problem, he went to the front to start planting. When he passed by Mu Yangling, he looked down and nodded secretly. Although his nephew was a bit stupid, he was indeed farming. material.

In front, Xiao Bowen and Xiuhong Xiulan were also grabbing a small bag of wheat to plant. Because Mu Shi was covering the soil behind, they didn't have to turn around, and the speed was not slow.

By noon, their family had planted two acres of land.

Ma Liu was going to take them back to dinner, but Mu Yangling waved: "Auntie, take Bowen and the others back, and let Xiuhong bring us food later, you rest until the second half, and my father and I are here. It's flat here."

Ma Liu frowned, "There's no need for the second half, we'll come after dinner."

"That won't work," Mu Yangling said quickly: "The sun is shining brightly, my father and I don't need to rest, why should you rest for a while, or else you're exhausted now, and you'll have to buy medicine when you go back."

"It doesn't matter Xiuhong and I, we didn't do this before."

Mu Yangling insisted, "Auntie, just listen to me. Even if you come, I won't ask you to work. It's better to rest at home and feel comfortable."

Mu Yangling knew that this was the time to rush seeds, and there was no lunch break for each family, but she felt that there were many ways to make money, but there was only one health. Supplement, the examples of Shu Wanniang and Xiao Bowen are put here, it is not that people who have medicine and money can get health.

Ma Liu knew Mu Yangling's unequivocal temper, so he could only recognize it.

After    and the others left, Mu Yangling squatted in front of the gully and watched. Instead of burying it, he went to dig up the soil that her father had just covered up. Mu Shi's mouth twitched when he saw it, "What are you doing, kid?"

Mu Yangling asked her father, "Father, the wheat germinated and popped out, so is it better to cover the soil with a thin layer, or a thicker one? If it is thinner, the malt will definitely pop out easily, but if If the weather is colder, will the next frost or something freeze the malt to death? If it is thicker, it will definitely keep it warm, but if the malt is not strong enough, won’t it be buried in the soil if it can’t come out?”

Mu Shi: "...How do I know?" After a while, he asked curiously, "How do you know this?"

Soil can keep warm, isn’t this common sense?

Father and daughter stared at each other with big eyes.

Mu Shi only thought it was a child's wild thoughts, but he didn't take it to heart, but Mu Yangling kept asking himself this question in his heart, whether the soil should be deeper or thicker.

In addition, so much land is planted and buried by human ploughing, which takes too much time. Even if the 13 acres of high-quality land in the east can be drained and finally planted with rice, the remaining 60 to 70 acres is not enough. Plant as soon as possible.

Forget the first two items. Without machinery, they can only do manual work, but what about the work of covering the soil?

With limited knowledge about agriculture in Mu Yangling, I always felt that there was something that could replace labor.

Mu Yangling was walking around in the gully, and Mu Shi threw her a stick and shouted: "Okay, A Ling, stop thinking about it, go to the ditch to check if there are any fish, you Mother wants to eat fish these two days, the ones in the cellar are not fresh enough..."

But Mu Yangling couldn't hear what Mu Shi was talking about. He jumped up and shouted, "I have an idea." He squatted down with a stick, and used it to flatten across the gully. Slowly slide into the ravine to cover the seeds.

Mu Yangling looked at his father proudly, and Mu Shi said with a smile: "This is a good way, but it can only be used by father and you, it will take a lot of strength."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Father, this is not the way I think of it, you see, the way I think of it can be used by anyone."

She remembered that when she went to the countryside before, she had seen a farmer put a farm tool upside down to cover the seeds with soil. Mu Yangling's vague memory before had a clear goal and gradually became clear.

She didn't know what the specific purpose of the farm was, but she was sure that she could draw it. No matter what it was, it would always be useful, and it was much more advanced than the farm tools in this world. Dad try it.

"Father, let's go chop down the tree." Mu Yangling looked at his father with bright eyes.

Looking at his daughter who thought it was Yichuan, Mu Shi said with a stern face: "I want to catch fish, A-Ling, you also said that the soil is thick or thin, do you think the soil that slides down like this is suitable? Your aunt Mother, they have never tried this method."
