Spring ploughing began, and the cooperative was in full swing.

Secretary Han said that this year, other production teams only distributed bud seeds, and these production teams in Daying Township took the lead in promoting other high-yield varieties.

After calculating the land area and grain output, Secretary Han and the captains of the four production teams set up this year's production plan.

Sufficient land should be set aside to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, two high-yielding crops.

Secretary Han is a capable person, and he has already had a plan in his heart.

Since the yield of bud rice has doubled compared to previous years, and the food rations of the big guys can be guaranteed, then it is appropriate to plant more crops.

This new variety of potatoes and sweet potatoes are all high-yielding, and last year those large potatoes were selected and sent to the county seat, and the price was even more expensive than ordinary potatoes.

Secretary Han had such a keen intuition, so he naturally found an opportunity from the middle.

To grow potatoes, you need to cut the tubers of potatoes with buds on them and plant them in the ground.

There were a lot of potato seeds left last year, and there are a lot of potato sprouts in this new product, and there can be more than a dozen sprouts on a potato, and at least five or six pieces can be cut.

So Qiaolian led some women from the four production teams to cut potatoes and plant seeds together.

"Oh, I said, Aunt Cui, Aunt Pu, you make potatoes like this, can you grow them well in the ground?

No, even if it is planted in the ground, the nutrition is not enough, and the seedlings will not grow. ”

Qiao Lian turned around twice, and suddenly found that there were some people whose way of working was too unacceptable for her.

Normal cutting of potato plant, is to take a knife, according to the top of the potato buds dense place, leave one or two buds on the top of a piece, cut into pieces.

The work is fast and neat, and the potatoes are planted in the ground, and because the tubers they carry can provide sufficient nutrition, they grow especially vigorously after emergence.

But there is a group of people who use bullet casings instead of knives.

With bullet shells in their hands, they dug down little by little from the top of the potato, only a little tuber around the bud.

When Qiao Lian saw it, she couldn't cry or laugh, how could she never see such a method before?

This Aunt Cui and Aunt Pu are not local people in Daying, and they basically moved here from outside.

In some living habits, these people still maintain their own traditions, clothing, food, etc., which are still very different.

Other Qiaolian can't control it, this is personal freedom, but they use this method to cut potatoes, Qiaolian really can't accept it.

"No, it's absolutely not okay like this, Aunt Cui, you come here, you see that this is the potato planting that my eldest sister cut, this is the right way."

We have to record the work according to the amount of potatoes that are cut out, you cut it like this, not only do you harm our potato seeds, but you can't earn a few points? ”

Qiao Lian brought over the potato plants that Qiao Juan had cut, each piece was basically the same size, and each piece had about two or three buds on it.

Qiaojuan worked hard, what a lot of work, and she had already cut a basket. Look at those people again, there are a small number of them.

"You guys are not qualified, hurry up and follow my sister to learn, and cut it as it is.

Our potatoes are high-yielding, but we also have to provide sufficient nutrition, you say that there is such a little bit at the bottom, can the seedlings grow on the top? Qiao Lian said with a smile.

"Gee, we've been doing this all the time, I really don't know how other people cut it. Okay, then let's learn to cut with a knife. ”

At first, those people wanted to justify a few words, they have always planted potatoes like this.

But as soon as I heard Qiaolian say that the work score was based on the weight of the potatoes cut out, and then looked at Qiaojuan who had cut a basket, several people were in a hurry at the time, where would they stick to the original way?

immediately ran home to get a kitchen knife, and also learned to cut like Qiaojuan.

Qiao Lian turned around two more times, and saw that the big guys were working according to her requirements, and then she was relieved.

After a morning's work, the potatoes were all cut, and in the afternoon they were transported to the field, and the pits were planted and finished.

Planting potatoes is not a difficult job, a few men dig a pit in front, and women put potato seeds in the pit at the back, and then cover the soil and gently step on it.

Together, the women brought the potatoes to the designated plots, and then stayed behind to work together.

I was working on it, and I don't know who shouted, "Oh, let's see what's wrong with this horse?" Why is this still a yellow nose? Isn't there something wrong with it? ”

The voice came from not far away, and he was walking on the ground with a plow stick, and the horse he was talking about was Qiaojuan's family.

As soon as Qiao Juan looked up, she saw it, quickly threw down the work in her hand, and ran over, only to see that her horse's nose was really dripping yellow snot, which was different from usual.

And the horse seemed to be very unenergetic, short of breath, and his eyes were a little red.

"Wen Guang, come here, come and see, what's wrong with our horse?

I don't think it's right, so let's get a veterinarian to see if there's anything wrong with it. Qiaojuan was anxious, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Wenguang loudly.

Zhang Wenguang happened to be leading people to work in this field today, and as soon as he heard his daughter-in-law's voice, he immediately rushed over. "What's going on? Our horse is sick? ”

Farmers farm to live, the most important thing is big livestock, mules and horses in ordinary people's homes, the status is even higher than others, no wonder Zhang Wenguang and Qiaojuan are so nervous.

A horse costs a few hundred dollars, how can there be a slight mistake?

"Yes, you see our horses have yellow snot, I don't seem to be very energetic, and I am panting very quickly.

Let's go to the vet and take a look, don't really have any problems. Qiaojuan was anxious, and shouted Zhang Wenguang to quickly lead the horse away.

was reminded by Qiaojuan, Zhang Wenguang also noticed the abnormality of his horse, so he quickly unloaded the plough stick, and then led the horse back, and went to the veterinarian station to find the veterinarian Lao Xiong in the township to treat the horse.

Lao Xiong is a veterinarian in the veterinary station of Daying Township, and his family is doing this according to his ancestors, so he is quite experienced.

After inspecting the Zhang family's horse, he said, "Wen Guang, I look at your horse, it seems that I have a nose."

I have to report it to the county epidemic prevention station quickly, if it is really a nose horse, then the horses in our township have to be careful, this thing is contagious. ”

Nose horse, is the countryman's vernacular, the real scientific name should be called horse melioidosis, is horses, mules, donkeys and other one-hoofed animals, relatively easy to get a high-contact infectious disease, people can also be infected.

Horses with this disease can infect other horses through nasal fluid, saliva, etc. This disease is acute and chronic, but either one is highly contagious and can easily cause a large number of horse deaths.

Generally speaking, when the disease is discovered, it must be isolated, or simply culled, to prevent the spread of the infection.

Lao Xiong didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he had to quickly notify the county epidemic prevention station and let someone send someone over there to make an accurate judgment and disposal.
