It sounds like a lot of land in twelve acres, but in fact, the yield per mu is only about 200 kilograms. This is the greatest profit that can be presented without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Rice is a little higher than wheat, and can reach three to four hundred kilograms, but the hard work of growing rice is also more than wheat. The irrigation method alone will cause more than many people to be exhausted.

At this time, the electricity was not turned on, so it was naturally impossible for a canal to pump water. However, smart and wise people built water trucks in the fields in the early years and dug deep wells. They could be transported to various fields through water trucks by the water trucks.

Where there are wells, there must be water trucks, and where there are water trucks, there must be water channels and ravines. These are the keys to transporting water into the rice fields. Basically, as long as the farming season is busy, the whole family must go to the well to fetch water.

Some fields have a large reservoir on the ground, and a tripod is set up on the reservoir. One person stands under the rack, uses a shovel and dustpan tied to the rack to press down and lift it up, and the water will be poured directly into the waterway and flows down the waterway to the rice fields.

In addition to this method, you can also tie a rope on the bucket, and two people stand on both sides, one with a rope head, allowing irrigation into the field.

Due to the different geographical locations, every household will find ways to build a reservoir or irrigate the fields. The difficulty is beyond imagination, especially when it comes to irrigation into the fields. On such a hot day and such dry soil, just thinking about it makes me feel cold sweat on my back.

The three-day leave given by the school is not enough, and the family is busy these few days. It was originally time to start summer vacation, but because of the delays in the previous few months, it was delayed. Now the brothers felt that as soon as they left, the adults didn't know when and where they were busy, so they simply took another week off.

After taking the twelve acres of wheat from the land home, the whole family was exhausted, but my grandmother and the uncle were still worried. They got up early again, slipped the twelve acres of land, and picked up all the wheat ears left in the land home.

After all the twelve acres of land were recovered, in addition to thawing grains, they also sorted out the fields and planted rice.

Of course, it is impossible to plant rice in all twelve acres of land. The fields that plant rice must have the conditions for innate water resources. You can't plant it even if you are exhausted from the water source. Fortunately, the Zhuo family is very experienced in this regard. Each family has selected two acres of land to plant rice, and the remaining land is planted with corn, millet, sorghum and other grains.

Rice seedling beds are naturally not as good as those in later generations. Mechanized greenhouse planting not only saves time and effort, but also avoids pests and diseases. In this era, seedling beds were all cultivated by the agricultural technology stations and were cultivated by herself. She remembered that the time was after Qingming Festival.

First, soak the seeds in cold water, then put them in a relatively insulated box to wait for the seeds to germinate. After germination, sprinkle the seeds on the seedling bed, cover them with soil, and water them enough. In order to keep warm, they are specially covered with transparent plastic cloth to ensure that the temperature is suitable.

Because it is located in the corner of the yard, and the sunlight can be shining directly, and the sunlight is sufficient, Zhuo Lin also works harder for the seeds from time to time, but he doesn't dare to add too much, for fear of overworking.

Now, the seedlings are ready, but now the shortcoming is that they have to make up the several acres of rice-planting land first.
