Chapter 100. End of the land reclamation

night.

Little Luo Qi got into the car crying, holding a box of soaked wheat seeds. She didn't want to leave and wanted to play. The fierce cat ran out again and didn't come back, and she hadn't said goodbye yet.

Lin Jia, who was sitting in the back seat with her, was quite happy as they returned with a great deal.

After two days of enjoying the food, she has completely fallen in love with the home-cooked dishes. She heard that there were also pepper sprouts a few days ago, but unfortunately she missed it.

There will be crayfish in a few days, but you have to wait a long time.

There are a lot of things in the trunk, it’s so beautiful just thinking about it.

It's just...

She was pretending to refuse just now, but was exposed by Luo Qi.

"Mom, stop pretending and take what grandpa gave you. I don't know you well enough to figure out what to eat every day."

This damn kid.

After seeing off his uncle's family, Luo Yihang looked at his grandfather next to him, with a question mark popping up in his head, "Grandpa, why didn't you come back?"

"I'll have to keep an eye on the seedlings tomorrow. Your uncle will come pick me up after get off work in a couple of days."

All right, whatever you want.

Luo Hongyi waved his hand and went back to the house. He took two quick steps to catch up with Luo Cheng, muttering to himself.

Luo Yihang's ears are so sharp. He is at the third level of Qi training and can hear even the smallest sounds.

I heard Luo Hongyi say to Luo Cheng: "Boss, I saw you hid two cucumbers. Bring them to me. I drank too much last night and my stomach is uncomfortable now."

"Dad, we didn't drink alcohol tonight. You just ate noodles. You ate two bowls."

"It's the drink for lunch, okay? Stop talking nonsense and bring it to me."

"Then I'll give you one, and leave some for me. All the stock at home has been delivered today, and I only have two cucumbers left."

"Is that what you have left? You hid it from your eldest daughter-in-law..."

The two of them walked into the house side by side, and Luo Yihang couldn't help laughing.

Ha, stay one more day to watch over the vegetable seedlings?
Huh, hiding something on your back? The weekly fishing day is coming up, right? Save some snacks for yourself, right?

……

The next morning, two tractors with rotary tillers came into the fields with rumbling sounds.

The land was deep plowed and rotary tilled yesterday.

Today, when I was tilling the land for the second time, I also hung a large funnel-like machine to spread the base fertilizer.

Only at this time did the power of the big machine come to light. It was really powerful and could plow the land very quickly.

It was almost noon when Qiangwa came.

When Qiangwa came, the vegetable seedlings came too.

After finishing the busy work of transporting and unloading, it’s time for dinner. What a great time management.

After Meimei had a free lunch, Luo Yihang and Qiangwa went up to the stage.

The two saw something new.

Li Zheng directed the workers to remove the rotary tiller from the tractor and hang a very... weird prop on it.

It is composed of several layers of iron frames and a large number of tracks up and down, and all the equipment is exposed. There are two wings extending from the middle part, with two seats installed on the wings.

Very steampunk.

"What is this?" Qiangwa, who worked at an agricultural supply store, didn't know the man, so he asked directly.

"Boss Luo, you haven't seen it before." Li Zheng was very proud. He finally got another chance to show off. "This thing is a planting machine. It can only be used in large planting bases. If Boss Hang didn't have a large flat land here, I wouldn't have taken it out."

Isn't it?

Even though Luo Yihang only has more than 30 acres of land, there are 60,000 Qin pepper seedlings and tens of thousands of vegetable seedlings in these 30 acres. How many people would it take to farm them all by manpower? It would take a lifetime.

"So, we have to use this big machine." Li Zheng was very proud and shouted, "Brothers, get started!"

At the command, two tractors towed the planters into the field.

There are several piles of plug trays on the top of the planting machine, and below are various conveyor belts and rotating funnels. Two people sit on the machine, right next to the two wings extending from the middle.

Just pull out the seedlings from the hole tray one by one and throw them into the funnel. The seedlings will automatically fall through the funnel into the planter below.

As the tractor moves forward in a straight line.

It automatically forms ridges wherever it passes, automatically covers the ground with plastic film, automatically digs holes on the plastic film to plant seedlings and covers them with soil, and automatically waters the fields to help them take root.

Anyway, there was an empty space before I passed by, but two neatly arranged rows of vegetable seedlings were left behind after I passed by.

This thing can grow anything. The distance and width of ridges or trenches can be set to cope with different seedlings.

What can limit its planting speed is the speed of the two people on the machine pulling out the seedlings.

"This thing is very powerful. If it is used by experienced people, one machine can plant 50 acres of land a day. I have two machines here." Li Zheng said.

……

Unfortunately, large machines can only be used on large flat areas.

They can’t be used in the forest. Luo Yihang still has a lot of medicinal herbs to grow.

So on the second day after reclaiming the wasteland, Luo Cheng found his old friend, Lao Zhao, who had plowed the bean field before, and took a micro-tillage machine to plow the ginkgo forest and spread some fertilizer.

Luo Yihang grows Panax notoginseng himself on the mountain.

Then on the third day after reclaiming the land, Luo Cheng called a few people, including Lao Jin and others, and paid 150 yuan per person per day to plant angelica dahurica in the ginkgo forest.

The friends I added at that time were used so quickly.

Luo Yihang grows Panax notoginseng himself on the mountain.

On the fourth day after the land was reclaimed, the crayfish seedlings were delivered. The water in the pond had been left to dry for several days. Technician Zhou came again and actually brought a bag of small river shrimps.

After watching the shrimp fry being released, Luo Yihang decided to grow Panax notoginseng on the mountain himself.

On the fifth day after reclaiming the land, Luo Yihang stopped planting Panax notoginseng as he had finished planting it.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek is here.

……

It was early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, and the time was just when we had finished picking the vegetables.

A pickup truck came up the mountain road and, under the guidance of Luo Yihang, stopped in front of Luo Hongyi's house.

Luo Hongyi went back the day before yesterday. Now the house is unoccupied, so it was taken over by Luo Yihang.

After all, he has a lot of little secrets now, and he has to run out in the middle of the night from time to time.

Or like today, we arrived too early and were afraid of disturbing our parents' sleep, so we just arranged them here.

This pickup truck has been here once before. It was the one driven by the forest police when we went to see the snake eggs last time.

After the car was parked, the person who got out of the driver's seat also came once. It was Officer Zhang from last time.

Then a burly man came down from the passenger seat. He was at least 1.85 meters tall, with a broad back, a square face, and straight features. He could not be called handsome, but he was decent. However, his two sweeping eyebrows made him look a little fierce.

It's almost May now, and he's still wrapped in a military coat. As soon as he gets off the car, he rubs his face vigorously with his big hands.

When I put my hands down and looked, I saw that my eyes were red and the dark circles were as heavy as if I had put on eye shadow, and I looked tired from the inside out.

Luo Yihang was delighted when he saw him, and cursed him on the spot: "Damn it, why are you so weak? It looks like you're about to die."

This person is Jiang Chao, the Old Jiang that Luo Yihang and the others always mention. It has been a month since he came back, and this is the first time he has seen him.

Old Chiang opened his eyes, looked Luo Yihang up and down, and cursed back, "You idiot, you look so young, hurry up and eat something, you're starving."

"Come into the house and I'll get it for you." Luo Yihang called out, nodded and smiled at Officer Zhang, and led the way into the house.

"Do you really have to work so hard? You called yesterday and said you'd come early, but you didn't say this early. It's not even six o'clock yet. What time did you get up? You're so sleepy."

It was just a few steps and Luo Yihang had to keep muttering.

"What do you mean by early rising? I didn't sleep." Lao Jiang yawned loudly, rubbed his face, and muttered, "I was trying to catch a thief last night. I thought I would be done by ten o'clock, but I ended up keeping an eye on him all night."

"Did you catch him?"

“Got it.”
