Chapter 666: Terraces, Rice Fields, Stone Rolls
For the next two days, Li Tian didn't go there either, and [acting the Taoist Talisman for Heaven] still made him feel a little uncomfortable. Although he had been extremely decadent and thought of death, in essence, he was still an ordinary person, and he was very concerned about life. Have pursuit, like to run freely under the sunny sky.
He really doesn't like touching this kind of dark stuff.
…
Fortunately, after using this terrible spell once, Li Tian's life was not disturbed.
His mood gradually eased.
He put his mind on the upgrade system again. In fact, on the second day after the event, Li Tian's system was updated with two system tasks at the same time.
That's right, two!
System tasks, random tasks, and special tasks are different.
Before level 10, system tasks can only appear 2 tasks at a time, and they are not completed and cannot be updated. For example, it is relatively simple at the beginning, and the completion speed is relatively fast. The number of updates per week is also limited.
Done this week, will have to wait for next week.
After level 10 of the system, not only a dark attribute of the [Amulet for Heaven], but also the system tasks have been updated. Before the 15 vegetable greenhouse tasks have not been completed, the system has been updated at the same time. 2 new missions.
[System task 1: The task requires that at least 10 mu of rice be planted, modernized, and reasonably long-term planted. The task can be completed from sowing in spring to harvesting in autumn. 】
[Complete the task: reward 100,000 cash red envelopes, 1,000 lottery points, and 800 experience points. 】
[The task is not completed: it will occupy 1/3 of the system tray. 】
When Li Tian saw this task, his head was big.
The current rich agricultural garden is already very bloated. The agriculture involved ranges from vegetables to strawberries at the beginning, to pig raising and aquatic products. Now, in addition to the fruit mountain, it also involves 10 mu of rice.
'God! ’
It is not difficult to grow rice, and it is not difficult to modernize it. At present, Li Tian still has more than 20 million yuan in cash to use.
Difficulty is difficult in that 10 acres of rice fields!
You know, on their side, there were still people who grew rice when they were children, but basically no one grows rice anymore, and they still have terraced fields in the mountains.
It is a terraced field, the one with one floor higher than one floor. When Li Tian was a child, every family farmed. At that time, water was the most important resource. Water was released from the large pond above, and then flowed through the terraced fields, layer by layer to the bottom. put.
Because the climate here in Li Tian is not suitable for growing wheat, only rice is grown, and rice needs water to support. Therefore, if we catch up with the drought that year, farmers will have to worry about gray hair.
Li Tian remembered the hardest year, when the drought was particularly severe.
The water in the pond was dry, so we had to dig the pond foundation, because they were all very old ponds. There was a lot of silt in the pond, all of which were black. Because of the hot weather, the black silt was dry and cracked piece by piece.
Some wells have no water in them, and there is absolutely no water for domestic use.
Each family can only divide a piece in the big pond, dig, dig a big hole, it is very deep, some can only use a ladder to go down, some water will seep out of it, sometimes God will pity the poor people, even if it rains, it can also be Save a little, that's how that dry summer went.
It hurts to think about it.
When Li Tian was a child, he also made rice.
At that time, there were no machines, and everything was done manually. The crops were planted and harvested by hand, and then the people used poles to pick them up. The bundles of rice were picked and dried in a sunny place. At this time, it must not rain.
In addition to being afraid of drought, rice is also afraid of floods. If it rains too much that year, the rice harvest will not be good.
…
After the rice is dried, it is spread on the rice field.
The word rice field is almost unknown to many younger generations in rural areas. Just like white candles, kerosene lamps, matches, etc., it has gradually become history, fading out of the vision of the general public.
At that time, the rice fields did not have luxurious concrete floors, but were rolled with stones on the flat soil and pressed side by side.
Nowadays, the stone mill used to grind tofu and the stone roll used to beat rice are also fading out of the public life.
Now there is news that some selfish farmers put rice, wheat and other crops on the road to dry, and let the back and forth cars run over them.
But those are very few. Most of the rice fields already use some small machines, and those who live in the plains are happier. There are hundreds of thousands of large-scale machines, fully modernized and integrated harvesting. Very convenient.
…
Li Tian was not so happy when he was a child. At that time, after the rice was dried, it was spread on the very flat soil paddy field, and then the water buffalo, which was rarely seen in the countryside at this time, appeared in the countryside at that time. essential presence.
It is a good helper for farmers. Almost every village has several cows. The most terrifying thing is that the water buffalo will go to the pond to lie in the water in summer, and sometimes two bulls will fight.
Bull fighting is extremely terrifying. When two cows fight, it is a big event in the village. Many people will gather here, not to watch the fun, but to find a way to separate the two cows.
Li Tian naturally let go of cattle when he was a child. What I remember most is that when I was a child, there was a cow, and children from other families were not allowed to ride, but Li Tian dared to ride. At that time, he was daring, but he passed a cherry tree while sitting on the cow At that time, because the branches were relatively short, Li Tian was directly hung on the tree, which was very dangerous. Since then, he has not dared to ride a bull again.
…
The role of the water buffalo is also to plough the field. At that time, there was no machine. The buffalo put agricultural implements on the neck and plowed the fields back and forth in the rice fields.
After the rice is harvested, it is placed on the rice field. At this time, the buffaloes are brought up, and the stone rolls that are difficult for two adults to move are also put on, so that the buffaloes pull the stone rolls and run over the rice. Finally, the rice with the husks is crushed.
The whole process is tedious and tiring.
The straw has to be bundled up to feed the cattle in winter, and it can also be used for cooking. The Li Tian family still used firewood to cook last year.
It is basically gas now. I heard that because of the relationship between the Nanya resort next door, the government has planned to connect a natural gas to the poor valley on Litian's side.
…
Rice hulling is also a craft. In that era, Li Tian used to crank the rice blower by hand when he was a child. It was very troublesome, but it was also one of the childhood pleasures of that era.
Because of the underdeveloped technology in those days, the husks were broken and the rice had to be separated. This is the function of the rice blower. The rice is poured in from the top, and then the bottom will be like an hourglass, slowly falling down. The fan here is rotated manually, and the side wind will blow the broken rice husks. In the past, the white-flowered rice would fall.
It is not clean to blow once, and it has to be blown several times, so it is particularly troublesome and cumbersome.
And the rice husks will remain, which was eaten when there was a famine.
When Li Tian was a child, there was no famine, because there was still broken rice in the rice husk, which could be used to feed pigs or chickens.
In short, at that time, no one dared to waste it.
