Not many people signed up in the afternoon.
Many people are discussing this matter privately, and some very bad rumors have spread.
This has led some people who originally intended to sign up to wait and see, fearing that something might go wrong.
If this situation is not addressed promptly and sufficient manpower cannot be recruited, subsequent work will be difficult to carry out.
This kind of thing.
Lin Mo would definitely not care, and even Zhou Zhengguo wouldn't interfere; it would usually be handled by the subordinates.
If they can't even handle this small matter, then what's the point of having people in the office?
To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey.
This is clearly not a good approach.
This will not only fail to quell the rumors, but will also exacerbate the conflict and cause the situation to deteriorate further.
the next day.
The office reposted a notice on the billboard, with the same content as before: recruiting pioneers.
However, this time the content is more detailed.
The location of the reclaimed area is clearly marked above; it is the former abandoned planting area, right near the north gate of the shelter!
This move immediately dispelled the rumors!
besides.
The announcement also clearly stated the benefits for the land reclamation workers.
They need a sufficient food supply every day to ensure they don't work on an empty stomach, but there are only a limited number of spots available!
The news was released as soon as it was announced.
The survivors could no longer sit still; if they continued to wait and see, they wouldn't even get a sip of soup!
soon.
The announcement area was packed with people, and long queues formed at the registration desk, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The office then sent a few more people and added three more registration windows, which significantly improved efficiency.
I worked until the afternoon.
A staff member shook his aching right hand, glanced at the statistical report on the table, and then slowly stood up.
"We've recruited enough people, everyone can go home now."
These words were spoken.
The crowd immediately began to stir.
"Is recruiting enough people?"
"I stood in line for so long and didn't even have lunch, and you're telling me you're not hiring anymore?"
"I'm mentally broken down, and it's almost my turn."
Something's not right.
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, armed soldiers nearby immediately stepped forward to maintain order.
The effects are immediate!
The survivors continued to complain, but did not take any drastic actions.
After the team disbanded.
Some people who arrived late and missed the registration stood there, beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret.
.........
Those who signed up.
For the next few days, we ate normal food, but we didn't receive any extra subsidies because we hadn't officially started working yet.
To fill their stomachs.
Every day, people go to the office to inquire when they can start working, saying they have already visited the planting area.
It wasn't that the people at the office were deliberately stalling; they also wanted to start working immediately.
Land reclamation requires tilling the soil.
Uncultivated land is usually very compacted and hardened, requiring tools to be used to simply turn it over first.
Tilling the land before planting crops allows the soil to be fully exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which kills pathogens and pests.
This can improve the germination rate of seeds and reduce the chance of future diseases and pests.
Tilled soil is more porous.
This results in greater air permeability, which helps the soil retain moisture and oxygen, creating favorable conditions for crop growth.
I want to turn the soil over.
They need to prepare the tools first.
The factory has been working overtime these days to rush out the tools, and they should be able to finish the task in a couple of days.
Three days later.
A new announcement has been posted.
After reading the contents, the survivors immediately went to the office to collect tools and then rushed to the planting area to prepare for work.
The first step is to remove the weeds.
If you want to plant a plot of land, the first thing you have to do is clear away the weeds, because weeds are the easiest way to attract insects to vegetables and also steal nutrients from the vegetables.
Generally speaking.
It's best not to use herbicides to weed; you can do it yourself and enjoy the original flavor of the vegetables.
Even if you want herbicides.
The shelters don't have the necessary facilities right now, so the only option is the simplest method: having the clearing crew manually remove the weeds.
Manual weeding.
It is a method of effectively controlling weeds by manually pulling and weeding.
It is the most primitive and simplest method of weeding, but it is labor-intensive, time-consuming, physically demanding, and has low weeding efficiency.
A whole day has passed.
The land clearing workers didn't turn over a single plot of land, and the tools they received were hardly used as they were busy pulling weeds.
.........
Near the planting area.
Not only were there professionals to teach them how to clear land, but there were also armed soldiers protecting them and supervising the work to see if anyone was slacking off.
On an open space.
A squad leader raised his right hand, glanced at the time, and called out to the pioneers ahead:
"Alright, that's a wrap!"
"All pioneers should evacuate in an orderly manner. Remember to take your tools with you and head to the canteen for a meal."
A large group of people returned to the shelter.
The workers quickly washed themselves and headed to the canteen for food; they were really exhausted after a long day of work.
fine.
The pioneers' mealtimes were staggered with those of the other survivors, so the wait in line wasn't too long.
Most importantly.
Their food was different from that of the other survivors!
Today we're having lean meat porridge, and we can also get two steamed buns. If one bowl of porridge isn't enough, we can ask for more!
"Our food is really different!"
"The lean meat congee is much tastier than plain white rice congee. The only pity is that it doesn't have preserved eggs."
"I spent all day pulling weeds today, and my hands were all cut, but it was all worth it!"
There are no problems with the job, and the food is also guaranteed.
Now.
The group of pioneers were finally at ease, only hoping that the reclamation could continue for a while longer so they could enjoy this treatment for a couple more days.
As for whether reclaiming wasteland is actually useful, and whether it will be possible to grow food later.
They don't care...
With the help of food.
The pioneers were highly motivated, and with someone supervising them, no one dared to slack off.
After weeding.
They started turning the soil with tools; it was a job that required no skill and was simply a waste of effort.
For this land reclamation.
The office recruited quite a few people, and it was quite efficient, clearing out a large area of wasteland in just a few days.
That noon.
Luo Feng and Zhao Chunsheng sat down to eat together.
The two had some minor interactions before, but they unexpectedly bumped into each other a few times without recognizing each other.
It's quite a coincidence.
Because of his extensive farming experience, Zhao Chunsheng was assigned to manage an area and was responsible for teaching others how to cultivate wasteland.
Luo Feng happened to be assigned to work under him.
They had some prior impressions of each other, and after spending these days together, their relationship gradually became more familiar.
.........
Today's food is sweet potato porridge.
Luo Feng ate a bowl of porridge with pickled vegetables with great relish.
Zhao Chunsheng received better treatment than him; in addition to a bowl of sweet potato porridge, he also received a steamed bun and an egg.
"Old Zhao."
"Why are you putting eggs and steamed buns in your pocket again? Are you really not planning to use them to find a woman?"
Zhao Chunsheng wasn't angry upon hearing this. He gently shook his head and sighed:
"My old bones can't take any more strain."
The two had a fairly good relationship.
Normally, as long as Luo Feng's jokes weren't too excessive, Zhao Chunsheng wouldn't take them to heart.
"Are you planning to take this back for your granddaughter to eat again?"
"If you ask me, leaving an egg is enough. You're leaving half of your food to take home every day. Can your body handle that?"
They talked about their granddaughter.
A smile appeared on Zhao Chunsheng's face as he said softly, "The girl is growing and needs to eat more."
"I don't need to work in the fields anyway. I just stand on the side and give instructions. It's no problem for me to eat less."
"Old Zhao."
"We've reclaimed a large area of wasteland. Do we have enough seeds to grow? And can this land really grow food?"
Upon hearing these words...
Zhao Chunsheng slowly suppressed his smile; he had been worrying about this issue for the past few days.
"We've tried before, and the seeds just rotted as soon as we sowed them. Do you think we can succeed this time?"
to be honest.
Actually, he didn't know the details either.
Although he managed an area, he was only responsible for teaching others how to reclaim land and cultivate crops; he wasn't really part of the management team.
Are there enough seeds to grow? Can the reclaimed land actually produce food?
Look at him like that.
Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "You really don't know anything about the situation?"
Zhao Chunsheng sighed helplessly, "I just received the news this morning that we will be sowing and trial planting tomorrow."
What's going on?
We'll see when the time comes.
