Gao Mingwan rarely returned to the village since he went to work at the transportation company. This time he drove his pickup truck back to the village, which naturally aroused heated discussions. Some uncles came to the house to talk to Gao Mingwan.
After Gao Mingwan had lunch at his second brother's house, he drove his pickup truck back to the old village. He parked the car on the edge of the pond and started carrying water to wash the car.
The car had been loaded with saplings, and naturally some soil fell off, which needed to be cleaned.
Someone came to talk to him, so he asked people to help wash the car together. This job was quite new, and several people were very happy with it. When Gao Mingwan had some free time, he was willing to talk to people and then brag about it.
It is said that getting promoted and making a fortune without returning to one's hometown is like walking at night in a brocade robe. In the eyes of the villagers, Gao Mingwan was considered promising, and he felt that he was more knowledgeable than the average person, so he told everyone about some things he encountered in his sports car.
These things are interesting and also thrilling.
Gao Mingwan rolled up his sleeves, revealing a scar on his arm, and said: "Last month, when my master and I were out in the car, we encountered a carjacker. The group put a lot of nails on the ground and took knives and axes. They forced us to take money to get the goods. My master pretended to give us money, then turned around and killed him with a big knife. I couldn't be a coward, so I also rushed forward with a knife. Well, the scar on my hand is from that time. left."
Gao Mingwan showed the scar to everyone. The scar was like his achievement, which made him proud.
Before, he was amazed at his second brother's skills, and secretly doubted why his second brother was so powerful while he was so ordinary. But after learning a set of military boxing techniques from Xiao Jinfeng, he is no longer the same now. Compared to the past.
At least he really dared to get into a fight!
When he was in the village, whenever he had a conflict with someone, his second brother would always stand in front of him. Now he can stand alone.
After hearing his words, everyone gasped.
They only knew that Gao Mingwan was going to be successful and make a lot of money, but they didn't know that being a driver could be so dangerous.
For a while, some people who envied Gao Mingwan also lamented that it was not easy to make money.
Drivers make a lot of money, but the risks are also high.
Gao Mingwan was talking to people here, while Gao Mingcheng went to Xiaofushan with scissors.
The sugar orange saplings have been planted, but the branches and leaves still need to be pruned.
Newly planted saplings do not need to leave so many leaves. Water will evaporate and the tree will die. Therefore, most of the leaves must be removed and only a few leaves will be left.
When the tree takes root, its ability to transport water and nutrients increases, which can supply the growth of leaves and produce new leaves.
Throughout the afternoon, Gao Mingcheng was busy at Xiaofu Mountain and did not go to the mountain to collect tea seeds, because with his efforts, almost all the tea seeds that were closer had been picked up.
Today, Tiangan's production was reduced, and the tea seeds were not big enough. He was not willing to go over the mountains and ridges to pick them up anymore, because there was still a lot of work waiting for him in the fields at home.
As November approaches, some vegetables grown in winter can also be planted, such as cabbage, radish, celery, lettuce, rape, red cabbage moss, cabbage moss, spinach, onion and garlic, etc.
In addition to these, Gao Mingcheng also wants to sow something, which is the only thing in the whole village, and that is sowing vetch!
People in the village are no strangers to milkvetch. They can be found on hillsides and fields everywhere, but they don't have a deep understanding of milkvetch.
You should know that milkvetch is one of the main nectar plants, and can be used as green manure to fertilize fields and as feed for livestock.
Cattle and sheep can also be eaten, but don’t eat too much, otherwise it will cause bloating. But pigs are different. For pigs, you can eat as much as you like because they have high nutritional value and good palatability.
And it is also a kind of medicine. Its roots, whole plant and seeds can be used as medicine. It has the effects of dispelling wind and improving eyesight, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, detoxifying and relieving pain.
Having said so much, Gao Mingcheng’s sowing has two purposes: one is to fertilize the fields, and the other is to increase the number of nectar plants.
The flowering period of milkvetch is from February to June, and the fruiting period is from March to July. The flowering period is very long. When it blooms in early spring, it is a rare food for bees.
Gao Mingcheng raised forty boxes of bees, so he naturally had to solve the problem of winter rations for the bees.
Milkvetch is sown from late September to early October, and now is the right time. As for the seeds, Gao Mingcheng collected them in the mountains in the first half of this year. The last time he went to sell medicine, he didn't take them with him to sell them. , just to keep it for planting.
Milkvetch is very suitable for planting in fields. When the land is plowed next year, the growing milkvetch can be plowed into the deep soil layer and turned into fertilizer. Moreover, milkvetch has strong nitrogen-fixing ability, which increases the nitrogen in the soil, which is beneficial to the future. for plant growth.
The next day, it was sunny and at noon, Gao Mingcheng took out a pack of milkvetch seeds and prepared to process them. Even though milkvetch is available everywhere, it is not easy to plant it.
First, the seeds need to be sun-dried for about five hours. After drying, add a certain amount of fine sand to rub the seeds to remove the wax on the surface of the seeds to increase the water absorption and germination rate of the seeds. Then, use 5% salt water to select seeds and remove diseased grains and empty grains. Soak the selected seeds in decomposed dilute human urine for 8 hours, take them out and dry them, and then sow them after dressing with calcium, magnesium and phosphate fertilizers.
Look, it’s troublesome.
Gao Mingcheng is now taking the first step, spreading the seeds to dry.
While the seeds were drying, he began to shell the camellia seeds.
The first camellia seeds I picked up had already cracked under the sun, revealing the black seeds inside.
For some that are well cracked, the kernels will fall off with just a slight shake, while for those that are badly cracked, you need to break them open manually, which is more troublesome.
Gao Mingcheng first hits the camellia seeds with a stick, and then picks up the empty shells. After repeating this several times, the shells of the camellia seeds will be completely removed. When they are almost dry, they can go to the oil pressing mill to squeeze the oil.
Recently, Gao Mingcheng has been busy in the fields and has not had time to go to the county for a long time. The tractor he bought has become a decoration for the time being.
Because camellia seeds are dried in the yard, the car can only be parked in a wide area outside. As a result, it will attract many children to watch every day. If Gao Mingcheng is not careful, some naughty children will even climb on the car to play. .
Whenever this happens, Gao Mingcheng will scold the other person. This is not because he is stingy, but because of the destructive power of a naughty child. You cannot underestimate him!
Otherwise, the naughty kid can damage your car just by turning around!
The more someone knows nothing about cars, the easier it is to damage them. Gao Mingcheng's driving skills are good, but his car repair skills may not be as good as Gao Mingwan's.
After the shells are removed from the camellia seeds, the area occupied will be much less. These dark camellia seeds are piled under the eaves and corners so that they can dry and prevent sudden rains.
Speaking of rain, in early November, it finally rained, but it was very light. It only wet the ground before the dark clouds dispersed, and the dazzling sunshine returned to the earth.
This rain aroused the emotions of the whole village. When it first fell, people were happy. When it first stopped, people looked disappointed and asked why it didn't rain more.
On the second night of the rain, Duoyu, the second sister of Duomei, started to work hard and finally gave birth to a son at 4:30 in the morning.
Zhang Chengyuan hired a midwife in the village, and called Duo Mei to help take care of her in the middle of the night. When Duo Mei came back, her eyes were a little dark.
But they looked very excited because their Xu family was expecting a child!
