Chapter 1427: Two Eyes Dark

~8 min read 1,485 words

The film crew came, and things in the mountain village also became much more.

The director and others were just the advance team, and many other staff members would soon follow, but most of them didn't need to come with the equipment, and the time for taking the high-speed rail was inevitably inconsistent.

But these didn't need Song Tan to worry about, Xin Jun and Zhang Yanping had completely separated from the work at home and fully took over the homestay. The skilled service personnel and cleaners invited to cooperate with the hotel in the city before, now brought an aunt in the village, arranging everyone to move in compactly, and it didn't look flustered.

It's just that the place is quite shabby—to be honest, Zhang Yanping's homestay decoration is not bad, but it can't stand the large number of people in the film crew, many people are unwilling to live in the town, so they came here to squeeze and squeeze.

But people in their line of work, if they work in the film and television city, the daily commute of ordinary employees is enough, this bit of suffering can be eaten.

Secretary Xiao Zhu was still coordinating the transportation of a large number of staff in the town and hadn't returned yet, Song Tan was called to the field by Sister Yanran.

It is now the end of April, the flowering period of many flowers is about to pass completely, only the large pomegranate on the mountain is red and fiery, looking particularly beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful, looking at it every day is just like that.

Sister Yanran and the others held tablets, took notebooks and walked in front, explaining while following the cement road built in the forest to the fields by the pond below: "Now the wheat is filling, the water and fertilizer here must keep up, and we must hurry to arrange for workers to replenish a wave of fertilizer."

They take the path of a purely natural organic farm here, and the fertilizers and drugs used are very cautious, unless it is some physical method, or targeted biological mutual restraint.

Otherwise, replenishing fertilizer only needs to spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate. But this kind of fertilizer easily releases organic salts and affects the soil, so it is better to use their own fermented fertilizer.

Song Tan nodded: "Okay, when is it suitable? I'll go back and recruit people."

"Not in a hurry." Grandpa Qi Lin looked at the records: "The wind has been too strong recently, the water in the wheat field cannot be heavily irrigated, otherwise it will fall down in pieces when the time comes, affecting the harvest. Tomorrow we will arrange for people to do a spray irrigation first, and then look at the time to keep up with the fertilizer."

Professor Song has ability, and most of the students brought out are also down-to-earth. The three of them have been here for several months, and their attitude is as cautious and careful as last year, without any difference.

Song Tan is therefore very trusting: "Okay. When the wheat is harvested, arrange for Master Jiang to make a meal of flour for you."

Speaking of this, everyone was in high spirits!

Tang Xiaodong even started to estimate the numbers: "Your wheat, 800 kilograms per mu this year, is truly high-yielding."

"And, the scab and powdery mildew we need to prevent in the middle didn't appear much, the resistance is particularly high. But this same batch of seeds, Fengde 22, was chosen because of high resistance and high yield, but other farms spent a lot of pesticides and effort this year."

But farming is like this, they talk about science at the beginning, and they don't talk about it much now, because they can't explain it clearly no matter how they talk. Here, the effort spent is the least, but the performance is good, and the taste is particularly outstanding, who can reason with this?

In short, the farm produces good things, and they can enjoy them, that's enough.

Song Tan listened silently, although she also knows farming, those knowledge cannot be applied to now. In terms of familiarity and understanding of existing varieties, she definitely can't compare with the three agricultural students in front of her.

At this moment, everyone had come to the side of the green wheat field, she pulled the wheat with multiple tillers, and frowned: "I thought it could be harvested next month, looking at this degree, it will be June."

"Well." Sister Yanran nodded, and then pinched a wheat grain to show her: "It's the filling period, it's very white and full inside, and looking at the posture, it can continue to grow, wait until June."

After she finished speaking, she put her hands together, her expression pious: "Please! Please! Let it be slightly dry in May, don't rain casually!"

Song Tan couldn't help laughing, but her ability now definitely can't affect the celestial phenomena, she is grateful for the good weather last year, but farmers rely on the sky to eat, but the sky is not gentle.

What she can do is to ensure that even if the natural disaster is damaged, it will not hurt the vitality.

So she also put her hands together piously: "Same request!"

But even if the weather is good in May and June, it doesn't mean there is no trouble during the harvest period.

For example, Grandpa Qi Lin's reminder at this moment: "Prepare for recruiting people in advance, in June, not only the vegetables on the mountain enter the harvest period, your cherry peaches, watermelons, early rice, etc., are all about to mature."

"And mugwort, don't forget you still have to recruit a large group of people to make mugwort sticks."

"A lot of early rice was planted this year, and the next batch of autumn rice needs to be prepared for breeding."

"By July, the crops harvested in June are likely to continue to grow, the rice is ripe, and there are more crops waiting in the future."

But...

Grandpa Qi Lin looked at her, smiled helplessly: "In June and July, will the tea on the mountain still be picked?"

Song Tan:...

Naturally, it is to be picked, at most, it will be pruned slightly in July.

Good, good, good, originally thought that this year could be relaxed, didn't expect that after a moment of carelessness, I would have to be busy like a spinning top again.

She knew the reason why the three of them told her these things so long in advance, because the number of people to be recruited this year is far more than last year.

However, although some villagers stayed at home and didn't go to work this year, for her 1000-plus mu of land, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Song Tan sighed: "I'll think of a way."

Turning to look at the three people who were tanned a bit black, she felt painful: "Why is there no decent agricultural university locally? I'm good at recruiting people to do temporary work!"

"Pull it down!" Tang Xiaodong was very realistic, and spoke directly at this moment: "Even if there are students cultivated by agricultural universities, they are not proper farmers, counting on them to work in the fields to cut rice and go up the mountain to pick peaches, that efficiency is enough."

Song Tan naturally knows, but now ten miles and eight villages can't gather a hundred households, where to recruit so many farm workers, that is really...

She sighed, and repeated: "I'll think about it again."

Tang Xiaodong chuckled: "I know you are a bit panicked, but don't panic first, there is another thing you probably didn't think of—"

"Fish."

"The fish in the pond and the river are very easy to turn white in summer, I know you don't count on this to earn much money, but you also have to collect a batch. Whether it's selling or eating it yourself... otherwise, once there are too many, it will affect the water quality."

Song Tan had no expression: "What else, you guys say it all at once."

Everyone thought carefully, and it seemed there was really nothing else.

Until Sister Yanran spoke: "That... there is one thing that may not take up too much of your time, but you should also be prepared."

"I heard that Dabao and the others are all dating this year, right? Dogs will give birth to puppies two months after pregnancy, even if the other side raises them to full moon and sends them over, you this..."

Not to mention anything else, how to train puppies, how to clean up dog kennels, that also needs to be worried about.

Song Tan stiffened her face—in the summer heat of June and July, there is so much work she arranged for herself! ===== CHAPTER 1428 =====
