The small kang was heated so hot that it was half dry when the carpenter came in the evening.
Wan Feng didn't have too high requirements for the door and windows of this cabin. He just asked them to make them for him. So the two carpenters made the door frame and windows in one night, and the only thing missing was the door.
With the door frames and windows, Wan Feng could build partition walls. My father had already started working in the company.
Wan Feng mixed the mud himself, and then tricked the children into helping him move bricks by giving each of them a piece of candy. In less than two hours, he had built the partition wall.
When Wan Shuichang returned home at noon, he found that the small room had been partitioned off with only the door missing.
My father left in a hurry after lunch.
The company's autumn harvest has officially begun. In the morning, the track tractor pulling the film spreader has entered the wheat field to spread the film.
All the employees in the company became nervous, and some housewives also received notices from the company to work in the yard.
Wan Feng did not let his mother go to work in the company. In his words, it would be better for her to carry some clothes and shoes back to sell than to go to the company to endure the sun and hardship and earn a little over one dollar a day. It would definitely be better than going to work.
The carpenter came on the third night and nailed out the second floor and made the door according to Wan Feng's requirements.
All that's left is to paint the door, let the paint dry, and then close it.
Wan Feng paid the two carpenters their wages, and they each earned fifteen yuan in three nights.
His father told Wan Feng about this year's autumn harvest work, and Shen Dezhen arranged for him to follow the truck to transport grain.
Following a truck to haul grain is the easiest job during the autumn harvest. It is basically equivalent to riding on a tractor and running back and forth to enjoy the scenery.
The 42nd Company has two old Soviet-made towed combine harvesters and one self-propelled Dongfeng harvester.
The task of the two tractors in the company is to receive the grain from the three harvesters.
When the grain bin of a harvester is full, the tractor stops under the grain outlet pipe extending from the bin, and the grain flows into the truck bed.
Wan Feng's father's job was to push the grain in the cart to the four corners with a wooden shovel when it popped out.
The tractor returned to the yard, the three sides of the carriage were opened, and half of the grain flowed out by itself. The remaining half was pushed down in two or three strokes with a wooden shovel.
This is all the work of following a vehicle. Most of the time, you just ride back and forth on the tractor.
Every summer during the wheat harvest, cars from the battalion headquarters' fleet would be allocated to each company for support. Three cars would carry grain for three harvesters, and sometimes even if the harvester's grain bucket was not full, the car could still sit and wait.
Therefore, during the more than half a month of wheat harvest, the job of transporting grain on the truck is a job that supports the farmers.
The only drawback is that it is a bit crowded when empty.
Wan Feng invited Shen Dezhen to dinner, and immediately he got me benefits for half a month.
So, the combination of the two words "Shede" is good. Without "She", how can there be "De"?
The wheat harvest in full swing in the company had little to do with Wan Feng. He concentrated on cleaning up the hut, and after three days, the hut finally took shape.
The dark green doors and windows and snow-white walls were connected to electric lights. Wan Feng also painted two paintings and pasted them on the wall.
That night, the two brothers moved their luggage over and slept in the small room, while the sister insisted on sleeping on the small second floor above.
The height of the small second floor is only more than 30 centimeters. She can reach the ceiling by stretching out her hand while lying on the second floor, and she doesn't feel depressed.
The renovation of the cabin took a total of four days. In the blink of an eye, Wan Feng had been home for six or seven days.
In three days it will be August.
After the cottage was finished, it was visited by several families. After seeing Wan Feng's renovation plan, those families with small spaces thought that this plan was feasible and they also planned to renovate their homes in their spare time.
Whether others reformed or not had nothing to do with Wan Feng, so he began to stroll around the company leisurely.
At noon, Wan Feng wandered to the company's yard. He wanted to see the busy wheat harvest scene.
A group of fourth and fifth grade students, led by two migrant workers, rushed to the fields to fan the flames for fun. Wan Feng was so excited that he almost joined in the fun.
The yard was bustling with activity. Today was the first day of harvesting wheat grains. In the morning, the two tractors pulling grain and the supporting Liberation truck had brought back more than ten carts of wheat grains.
Every time a truckload of wheat grains was unloaded onto the cement floor of the yard, the migrant workers and housewives would immediately spread the grains out in the sun to dry, turning them over every ten minutes or so.
Normally, if the sun is strong enough, the wheat will be dried in a few hours, then piled up and winnowed by a winnowing machine, which will separate the impurities and debris in the wheat.
After winnowing, all the wheat will be sent to the granary. After the harvest is completed, it will be packed into sacks and sent to the granary for shipment.
This is the entire process of wheat harvest.
After Shen Dezhen and a group of housewives finished turning the field, they went to the shade to rest. When they saw Wan Feng coming, they waved to him.
Wan Feng came to Shen Dezhen.
"Nephew, we haven't finished talking the other day. You said that our place is remote and can only engage in planting and breeding. I went back and thought about it for several days but couldn't figure out what we can do here. There are only more than ten minutes left before the next turning of the fields. Can you give us some advice?"
Wan Feng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to Shen Dezhen and the men around him.
"So where do we start?"
"Let's talk about agriculture first. What can we grow here?"
As for planting, this place is remote, more than a hundred miles away from the county seat, so there is definitely no future in growing vegetables and raising pigs.
Growing fruits is also wishful thinking, as those fruits grown in the mainland cannot survive the winter here.
Wan Feng asked back, "What do you think is famous throughout the country?"
Shen Dezhen blinked and thought for a long time, but couldn't remember. A man named Yang Wu next to him said, "If you want to talk about nationally famous things, it can only be wood ear mushrooms and hericium erinaceus. The wood ear mushrooms and hericium erinaceus from the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains are the most famous."
Shen Dezhen slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! These two things are indeed famous throughout the country, but what does this have to do with agriculture?"
"What do you think of Zhong Mu'er?"
"Growing wood ear mushrooms? Can that thing still be grown?"
Why can’t we plant it? The technology will be available in four or five years.
"Of course we can grow them. We can grow wood ear mushrooms, mushrooms, and even Hericium erinaceus."
Shen Dezhen immediately became interested: "If this thing can be grown, it would indeed be a solution, but how to grow it?"
"In general, it's a bit complicated. To grow these things, you first need to make the mother bacteria, culture medium, and then ferment it. After the bacteria are fermented, you also need a suitable carrier. You can just plant the bacteria in the carrier, and finally it's just a matter of watering."
Shen Dezhen was confused by what he heard, and it seemed that it was indeed very complicated.
