A week later, 10,000 larch saplings arrived as promised. At the same time, seedling planting spades were also distributed to everyone along with the saplings.
However, since it is a new tool, everyone does not know how to use the seedling planting spade.
Before officially starting afforestation, Li Jie took everyone to Highland No. 3 and demonstrated the correct use of seedling planting shovels.
"Now, take the seedling planting shovel in your hand, pay attention to my movements, and follow me."
"First shovel, lower the shovel to make a slit, and then rock it back and forth. The width of the slit is about 5 to 8 centimeters and the depth is about 25 centimeters."
While Li Jie was demonstrating, he turned around to observe everyone's actions. He saw everyone clumsily stepping on the seedling planting spade. While watching Li Jie's actions, they carefully shook the spade pole.
Shen Mengyin looked at the gap under her feet in surprise and sighed.
"It's so relaxing."
Meng Yue held the seedling planting spade and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the seedling planting spade is indeed a good thing. With the seedling planting spade, even if we girls are relatively weak, we can easily do the transplanting work."
Looking at the people working alone, Tan Xuemei said excitedly.
"Actually, the biggest advantage of planting seedling spades is that it frees up labor. In the past, we needed a group of 2-3 people to transplant a sapling. If we pursue efficiency, at least a group of 3-5 people would do the flow operation."
"I did some calculations before. If I use a shovel and a pickaxe, one person can plant more than 200 seedlings in a day at most."
"But now, one of us is a team, and the transplanting efficiency has at least doubled!"
“One person can plant at least 400 seedlings in a day!”
"In this way, it only takes 25 people to complete the transplanting of 10,000 seedlings!"
Sui Zhichao on the side heard the girl's conversation and echoed it.
"This thing is really a treasure! Big treasure!"
The 10,000 seedlings are only the first batch of saplings that need to be transplanted. These seedlings are all produced at the nursery base under the dam, and a large number of larch saplings will be transferred from the northeast.
This year's tree planting area is 2,000 acres. Based on the transplantation of 800 trees per acre, a total of 1.6 million saplings need to be planted this time.
If the 1.6 million seedlings are transplanted at the previous transplanting rate of 250 per person per day, it would take nearly two months even if all forest farm employees were brought to the dam.
It takes two months to transplant seedlings, which is obviously unrealistic, because the speed is too slow. After two months, the day lilies are cold.
Therefore, for this autumn reforestation campaign, the forest farm specially recruited 200 temporary workers from surrounding villages.
The two temporary workers, plus the forest farm employees, total less than 300 people. If they want to plant 1.6 million seedlings, it will take at least more than 20 days at the original speed.
In fact, this speed is already a bit slow.
But there is no other way. The funds at the forest farm are limited and there is no money to recruit temporary workers on a large scale. Only these two hundred people were squeezed out by the farm tightening their belts.
But now, with the help of a sharp tool like a seedling planting spade, the efficiency per person has doubled. With the same number of people, it only takes more than ten days to complete the tasks assigned by superiors.
Planting two thousand acres in ten days is an efficiency that is simply unimaginable.
In view of the doubled efficiency, the field has now begun to reduce the recruitment number.
After all, funds are hard-earned, so save whatever you can. Anyway, there is not much difference between planting in ten days and planting in twenty days.
Na Dakui also sighed: "This thing is really useful. We all owe it to Feng Cheng this time."
Everyone nodded after hearing this to show their approval. The seedling planting shovel not only improved efficiency, but also saved physical strength.
For example, if the physical cost of transplanting a sapling was 1, the physical cost of transplanting a sapling will be 0.5.
Doing the same work reduces physical exertion, and everyone who participates in afforestation activities will benefit.
"Yes, we have to thank Feng Cheng very much later."
Sui Zhichao pushed up his glasses, glanced at Li Jie, and sighed with a smile.
"Hey, how do you think Feng Cheng's head grows? Can you figure out this guy's story just by reading the paper?"
Shen Mengyin chuckled: "Mahua (Sui Zhichao's nickname, from Tjin Marijuana), I don't know how Feng Cheng's brain grew, but I know you can't figure it out."
"Ha ha!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Sui Zhichao's temperament is relatively gentle, and he won't get angry if he is occasionally teased.
What's more, it was Shen Mengyin who was teasing him this time.
"Sister, you are right, my brain really can't think of anything!" (Tianjin dialect)
Shen Mengyin smiled: "Hehe, you are self-aware."
On the other side, Ji Xiurong did not participate in the discussion. She glanced at Yan Xiangli with a smile and said in a concerned tone.
"Yan Xiangli, are you tired?"
Hearing these words, Yan Xiangli had not yet reacted, but Na Dakui, who was not far away, turned dark.
Immediately, Na Dakui turned his eyes and looked at the two people in the corner. To be precise, he gritted his teeth and glared at Yan Xiangli.
It's him!
it's him!
It was this pretty boy who reminded me of my childhood sweetheart!
Ji Xiurong and Na Dakui grew up together and went to elementary school, junior high school, and technical secondary school together.
Over time, Na Dakui fell in love with Ji Xiurong, who had a straightforward personality.
He went to the dam this time also for Ji Xiurong.
Before going to the dam, he had planned to ask his mother to go to Ji Xiurong's house to propose marriage during the Chinese New Year.
The Na family and the Ji family have been neighbors for many years. The elders of both parties have a good relationship, and each other is very optimistic about the couple.
In Na Dakui's view, proposing a marriage during the Chinese New Year this year must be a matter of course.
As a result, after going to the dam, Ji Xiurong suddenly fell in love with "Monghulu" and "boyfriend" Yan Xiangli.
Na Dakui had liked Ji Xiurong since junior high school. Faced with this sudden change, he certainly would not think that Ji Xiurong had changed his mind.
It must be this pretty boy who seduced Ji Xiurong!
It must be!
Absolutely!
There is no other possibility!
Therefore, he 'hated' Yan Xiangli. It was not that he had never caused trouble for Yan Xiangli, but Ji Xiurong always protected this pretty boy behind him.
It's not like he has never provoked Yan Xiangli, but the opponent didn't take the move at all. He hid behind Ji Xiurong every time with "peace of mind".
Ji Xiurong didn't notice anything strange about Da Kui at all. She just smiled and patted the kettle on her waist.
"Would you like some water?"
Creak!
Creak!
Seeing Ji Xiurong treating Yan Xiangli so tenderly, his teeth squeaked loudly!
"Ji Xiurong! You can't do this to him!"
