"Did everything go smoothly yesterday? I saw you brought back a lot of things?" Lu Lin asked.
"Well, we found the group of people, got the car back, and all the stuff is there," said Yang Qing.
"That's good." Lu Lin nodded.
She knew that Yang Qing had many cars in his space, but he only had one set of ice fishing drills and fishing nets, and if they were lost, they would be gone.
Fortunately, they were all found.
After dinner, Leng Yi washed the dishes. Through the glass window, he saw Haozi coming from a distance. He quickly put down the bowl, wiped his hands, and went downstairs.
He didn't want Jiang Hao and the others to know about the deal with Haozi.
When Haozi saw Leng Yi, he called out, "Brother Yi, I was just about to go look for you guys. Do you want to go out?"
"I saw you upstairs, so I came down. Have you found everything?" Leng Yi asked.
"Well, we have the well-drilling and water-pumping equipment, as well as the harvester and rice mill you requested. Would you like to send them to the usual place?"
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded. Of course, they couldn't trade here.
"However, the harvester is a large machine, and your pickup truck may not be able to fit it." Haozi reminded.
Leng Yi nodded, "We will find a way, just send it there."
"Also, we can't tell anyone about the goods we traded with you, including the people who live with us."
"In other words, don't tell anyone else about our deal except me and your sister Yang."
Haozi nodded quickly and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry. We will keep the secret for our clients. After all, in this period of time, everyone is afraid of accidents."
"I'm glad you know!" Leng Yi nodded. "Pull the goods over now. Your sister Yang and I will be there soon."
"Today's machine is a large one, and Sister Yang said before that she would give more..." Haozi laughed.
"No problem, your sister Yang won't treat you unfairly. Do you want Durex or fish?" Leng Yi asked.
"Let's go with Durex. It's very popular right now." Haozi felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, we'll bring it with us later. You guys go over first." Leng Yi said and turned to go upstairs.
After talking to Yang Qing, Yang Qing nodded and said, "I have a truck in my space. I'll change into that when I get out later."
The two changed their clothes, said goodbye to Lu Lin, and drove away in the pickup truck.
When we reached a deserted spot halfway, we changed to a truck and drove to the agreed location.
Haozi and Lin Zhen have arrived. They are surprised to see Yang Qing and the others driving a truck. Having a pickup truck is already great, but they actually have a truck?
It seems that their connections are no worse than Sister Cai's.
There were a few other people on Lin Zhen's side, helping to move the harvester, rice mill and well-drilling equipment onto Yang Qing's truck.
"Sister, do you think these things are good..." Haozi looked at Yang Qing eagerly.
Yang Qing smiled. "As we agreed before, for the large machine, I'll give you ten boxes of Durex. The rice mill isn't that big, so five boxes will do. The well drilling machine will also be five boxes, a total of twenty boxes."
Her box contained eighteen, so twenty boxes would give her three hundred and sixty, which wasn't a small amount. If she traded it for food, it could be worth several hundred kilograms.
Although their machines are valuable, no one wants them during this period and they can only be sold as scrap. They are not as practical as Durex.
"Okay, sister, you have the final say!" Haozi smiled and naturally would not bargain if he was given a lot.
"By the way, I still have a thousand kilograms of fish. I want to exchange them for a thousand kilograms of food from you. I want new rice." Yang Qing said again.
Haozi and Lin Zhen looked at each other and said, "Sister, a thousand kilograms of broken rice is fine, but new rice is not."
"Didn't I exchange 500 kilograms of fish for 500 kilograms of rice seeds?" Yang Qing said.
"Sister, you also know that those are rice seeds that cannot be eaten, and they still have shells. The rice is pure rice, not paddy." said Haozi.
Yang Qing frowned, "The 800 kilograms of new rice cannot be any less, otherwise I will find someone else to exchange it with."
"No, sister, I'll give it to you. Eight hundred kilograms is eight hundred kilograms." Haozi said quickly.
Yang Qing has something good, but she can't lose her big client because of it.
Yang Qing gave Durex to Haozi and asked them to go first. He drove the truck around, took back the space, and then drove the pickup truck back.
After returning home, the two entered the space, and Leng Yi immediately took the drilling equipment and prepared to dig a well.
The location was chosen at the front end of the 100-acre divided field so that it could be irrigated if there was water.
Yang Qing helped set up the drilling equipment, brought electricity from the villa, and then started drilling.
Unexpectedly, the geology here is very soft and it was easy to drill down.
There was water when we reached 20 meters.
The well mouth is only 40 centimeters. Even if it is not a drinking water well, this size is enough.
Then use a water pump to put the water pipe down to pump out the water.
Leng Yi used a hoe to dig channels in the fields, making it easier to irrigate the fields.
Yang Qing took this opportunity to take out some rice seeds from the cruise ship's biological refrigerator. She wanted to try to see if she could breed them.
I used Lingquan water to soak the seeds, and since I only took one pound, I had to be careful with it.
The survival rate will be higher if you germinate the seeds first and then sow them after they have sprouted.
Leng Yi took a break and saw Yang Qing soaking rice seeds and said, "Just use the seed drill without soaking."
"These are the seeds I got from the research institute. The space conditions are good and I want to try to breed them myself." Yang Qing said.
Leng Yi nodded, "Okay, then I will set aside a piece of land specifically for you to breed and take good care of it."
"Okay!" Yang Qing smiled. She knew nothing about these things and had to rely on Leng Yi.
"Oh, by the way, I don't have any living things here, so I can't rely on insects for pollination. Can breeding be successful?"
"And those rice and fruit trees, they won't be able to grow, right?" Yang Qing suddenly thought of the disadvantages of space.
"I don't think so. The vegetables you planted earlier... Oh, aren't the edamame growing too?"
"In addition, rice can actually be pollinated artificially." Leng Yi said with a smile.
"How to artificially pollinate?" Yang Qing was very curious. She had seen videos of some vegetable-growing bloggers before. In the absence of insect pollination, they applied the pollen of male flowers on female flowers, and then they would bear fruit.
But there are so many rice plants, how to pollinate them?
Leng Yi smiled, "You may not know this if you've never grown rice, but in fact, many rice fields in the countryside also rely on artificial pollination, especially for breeding."
"When the rice blooms, two people hold a rope and stand at either end of the field."
"Put the rope on the rice flowers and press it as you walk. The pollen from the male flowers will fly up and fall onto the female flowers, thus completing artificial pollination."
Yang Qing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
People who have never lived in the countryside really don’t know.
"For some very small areas, you can just use a long bamboo pole to sweep them." Leng Yi added.
"Won't it be broken?" Yang Qing asked.
"No, I don't use too much force. I just press it lightly and sweep it over to make the pollen fly." Leng Yi said.
Yang Qing nodded, "I've learned something new."
"You can't soak the seeds in water all the time, or they will rot. Wait until the seeds have fully absorbed the water, then put them in a permeable bamboo basket, cover them with a cloth, and water them from time to time to maintain the moisture."
"The weather here is good, and they might sprout in a day or two."
"Oh!" Yang Qing nodded. He really didn't know because he had never done it.
"Leave these to me, and you just wait to harvest." Leng Yi smiled.
Then continue digging canals, pump water from the well and pour it down the ditch, and the water slowly flows into the ground.
One hundred acres of dry land became paddy fields.
In the next few days, except for going out to exchange fish for food, the two of them entered the space whenever they had free time and used a seed drill to plant all 100 acres of rice.
