Teammates always do their job without hesitation when it comes to Qiao Xuejun's assignments.
Cotton picking is a labor-intensive job because it requires a lot of human participation.
"Like this, pinch off the top part." Qiao Xuejun demonstrated to his teammates.
"Don't pinch too little, and don't pinch too much."
Young Master Kuang asked as he tried to learn: "It's a little hard when you pinch it. Why do you pinch it for no reason?"
It is normal to be hard, because the tip will become a little woody during this period. If it is too tender, it may continue to grow upwards after being pinched.
Wang Juanfeng said: "What do you mean it's okay? It must be because it can increase production that we're pinching it."
Qiao Xuejun: “Yes, it can increase production.”
Now is the time for topping. Simply put, it means pinching off the top leaf and heart to prevent it from continuing to grow upwards. This will facilitate the supply of nutrients to other branches, allowing the cotton bolls on the branches to grow fully and increase cotton yields.
It wasn't too hard, they tried and did pretty well.
Qiao Xuejun: "That's it. We handle everything this way."
Zhao Linlin threw the chopped leaf hearts into a sack and asked, "Can we collect these leaf hearts and feed them to rabbits? And chickens, too."
Qiao Xuejun also asked them to each carry a sack, and throw the pinched leaf hearts into the sack.
Qiao Xuejun: “No, you can’t feed it to rabbits or chickens. It’s poisonous to them.” It contains cottonpol, and animals will be poisoned if they can’t handle it.
Zhao Linlin nodded: "Oh! Got it!"
"After detoxification, it can be used as feed, but we are not too short of feed now, so we don't need to use this detoxified material for feeding. We will throw it under our rabbit house and ferment it together as fertilizer."
Qiao Xuejun: "Be careful not to leak it. If you leak it, it will seriously reduce production."
Several people agreed seriously.
While hitting the top, Qiao Xuejun took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Minister Lin of the Coordination Department: "Minister Lin. It's me, Qiao Xuejun."
Lin Bu: "Teacher Qiao, I got it, go ahead."
Qiao Xuejun said: "I can provide an additional 50,000 kilograms of corn to support your recruitment of survivors. Do you need it? If you need it, you can go to the kitchen warehouse to get some as a backup. I will replenish the inventory later."
50,000 jin, even if each person is given 10 jin, it is enough to recruit 5,000 people.
It is enough to compete with Haibao for people.
Minister Lin was surprised: "Really?"
When he heard Haibao use this method yesterday, he went to ask Uncle Zhang, who is in charge of the kitchen warehouse.
But Uncle Zhang frowned when he heard this idea: "What contribution have the newcomers made to the base? Why can they get so many things for free?"
He said, "Let's get the person here first. As long as he comes in, he will make contributions sooner or later. But if he is taken away, he will never be able to make contributions in his lifetime."
Uncle Zhang continued, "Give it to them, but do the people who came before want to give it to you? If they come and ask you for it, what will you say? They all came here to seek refuge, so why are they divided into different classes? If some have it and some don't, it will be a mess!"
This statement is too rigid. Now that the Forestry Department has raised this issue, it can naturally introduce relevant rules to solve the problem.
But Uncle Zhang disagreed, he had no other choice.
Now, Teacher Qiao directly provides them with food and provides great support for their work!
Qiao Xuejun said: "I am only supporting you with your food reserves, but it is up to you whether to use this method or not."
It was not her decision whether the Coordination Department would use this tactic to fight against Shen Xingtang. She just kept providing food. If she really competed with the other side for food, she had to ensure that she would not be suppressed due to lack of food.
Minister Lin: "Okay, okay, with this batch of food, our work will be much easier! Thank you, Teacher Qiao, for your support!"
Qiao Xuejun put away the walkie-talkie and made up his mind seriously.
They were all quite far apart from each other, so if they lowered their voices and listened carefully, others would hardly be able to hear them.
The 40 million kilograms of grain that Qiao Xuejun has now were given out in a batch before. At that time, his teammates didn't pay attention to it. They knew that Qiao Xuejun had an extra batch of grain.
Qiao Xuejun found an excuse to explain that he had handed over a large amount of food to the shelter before, and that the shelter had only temporarily stored it, and could now take it out and use it.
The exact number was unknown, and they had no doubts or concerns.
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and contacted the fishing team's channel again. After connecting to the channel, Qiao Xuejun put the walkie-talkie in his bag, and while working with both hands, he could also speak: "Calling the lord, calling the lord."
"Teacher Qiao, it's me. The captain is now on the patrol channel of Team 1, discussing details with the people from Haibao." It was Ren Wangwang's voice.
Qiao Xuejun knows a little bit about this. He is the person Zhao Xian asked Haibao for earlier. He has rich experience in fishing, so he put them into Patrol Team 1. The city fishing team should also take them with them this time.
Qiao Xuejun asked directly: "What time do we leave tomorrow morning?"
Ren Wangwang said: "6 o'clock in the morning."
Qiao Xuejun: "I will be there on time in the morning."
Ren Wangwang: "Ah? Teacher Qiao, are you coming over?"
Qiao Xuejun: "No?"
Ren Wangwang: "Sure, of course. We have an expert accompanying us on this trip, and I happen to be in charge of it. Besides, Mr. Qiao, there was originally a place for you on this trip."
Qiao Xuejun paused and asked, "Already there?"
Ren Wangwang: "Yes, aren't we going to the seed bank? Originally, you were nominated to go with us at the meeting."
Qiao Xuejun: "No one told me."
Ren Wangwang: "Ah, it seems that it was changed later, saying that we can just use the list. But if you want to go, Mr. Qiao, there will definitely be a place for you."
It would definitely be better if real people were in the battle.
They also have three experts going with them on this trip, all to provide technical support.
Qiao Xuejun: "I understand. I will be there on time tomorrow."
·
It can’t be finished. It really can’t be finished.
Qiao Xuejun and a few others worked in the fields for several hours, but by late at night they had only finished topping half of the crops.
Wang Juanfeng was the first to speak up and said, "Qiao Qiao, go back to sleep. Don't worry, we all know how to do it. We don't have to finish it in one night."
She knew what Qiao Xuejun was worried about, and she also knew that Qiao Xuejun wanted to do more on her own because she was worried.
Kuang Qianli also said: "Yes, didn't you say that you would go to the city fishing team tomorrow? It's a tough job on the sea, you should go back to your room and sleep early, otherwise how can you have the energy to do it?"
That makes sense.
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "I have finished this acre of land, just a little bit."
