In the farm, singing and dancing almost disappeared, and the scythe opening ceremony officially entered the most critical link.
A dozen or so sickles tied with red ribbons were brought out on a wooden plate, and each leader held one. Then they took the sickle and went to the rice field to cut a few stubbles of rice, and the sickle was officially opened.
Chen Mu, a Uighur girl, and Cheng Zijun also mixed among the leaders, pretending to be harvesting rice.
The three of them have never done this job before, they just asked about it temporarily before, and cut it casually at this time.
"You can't hold the sickle like this, it's easy to cut yourself, and the body can't stand so close..."
The leader in charge was not far from them. Seeing the actions of the three of them, he couldn't help laughing and took the initiative to guide them.
"You young people now are all born in the city and don't need to do farm work. It's not like when I was young, in addition to going to school, I had to help the family in my spare time, such as raising chickens to feed pigs, transplanting seedlings, weeding, fertilizing and harvesting rice. …”
Although Chen Mu is very "familiar" with the supervisor, but usually he doesn't spend much time doing chores, and the meeting is usually to discuss business matters. Now that he hears the supervisor take the initiative to talk about his childhood, he feels a sense of intimacy.
Chen Mu turned to look at Sadiq, and the new mayor was standing on the other side of the three of them. He was the youngest among these leaders, but he was also a leader, so he also got a scythe.
Seeing that Sadiq's movements were worse than his own, Chen Mu joked, "Uncle Sadiq, you didn't work much when you were young, did you?"
Sadiq said angrily: "Of course I had to do farm work when I was young, but I never planted rice. Today is the first time I planted rice, so I don't know much about it."
Hearing this, the leader in charge said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, if you didn't develop this technology, who would have thought of growing rice in the desert?"
He turned his head and glanced at Chen Mu and the Uighur girl, and encouraged him: "You have done a good job, and you will continue to work hard in the future to strive for the new rice variety you have researched to be popular in our Xinjiang and Qi province...well, even in the whole country. spread quickly.”
Chen Mu wanted to say that I don't have any money, but it's a bit unpleasant to say these things at this time, so he blinked his eyes to express his understanding.
The leaders cut the rice just as a formality, and soon each of them walked out of the rice field with one or two crops of rice harvested.
Outside the rice fields, several video cameras and cameras kept taking pictures of the leaders. These were good news materials, and they were considered the most important part of the whole scythe opening ceremony.
After the leaders came out, it was the turn of the large combine harvester to perform.
With the roar of machinery, more than 20 harvesters passed by the crowd one by one, and drove into the rice field with arrogance and began to harvest the mature rice.
The large combine harvester is so named because it is powerful enough to cut, thresh, separate stems and remove debris in the field in one pass.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter that originally needs to be divided into several steps, but now it is done in one step, fast and good.
Moreover, if manual harvesting is used, or some small harvesters may harvest, rice waste may be caused during the harvesting process.
But this large combine harvester does not have such a problem, especially when working in such a large area of farmland, they directly harvest in a straight line, the time required is greatly shortened, and the waste caused is almost negligible.
The drivers of the harvesters were instructed by the Uighur girls to harvest the rice in the ten mu of land first. All their machines worked hard in the ten mu of rice field, and the rice was harvested soon.
The Uighur girls immediately organized people to collect the harvested rice, and then began to calculate the yield per mu.
After all, rice has to go through processes such as drying, husking, and grinding before it can really get the finished rice. Therefore, at this time, the output can only be roughly estimated, which is not the most accurate.
But at this time, one must report, mainly to cooperate with the propaganda and seek truth from facts.
Everyone quietly waited for the final result.
Although everyone has seen the bags of rice harvested, there are a lot of them, it cannot be faked.
But it is precisely because of this that the final result is even more exciting.
"The yield of these ten mu of land is estimated to be more than 550 kilograms per mu."
After careful weighing and estimation, the Uighur girl finally announced the result loudly.
Instantly—
The whole place was silent for a while.
Immediately, thunderous applause broke out, which lasted for a long time.
The faces of the leaders were all full of smiles. Although they had expected such a result before, the estimated data still exceeded their expectations.
They have all read the patent information of new rice varieties before, and know that the general yield per mu is about 450 kg to 500 kg.
But now it can reach 550 kilograms after being planted, which is a full 50 kilograms more per mu of land, which is simply amazing.
You must know that for these provinces in the northwest, they do not lack land, what they lack is arable land, after all, most of the land is severely invaded by desertification.
Now it is possible to grow rice in the desert. If it can be really popularized, with the land area of Jiangqi Province, it may become another domestic grain production base in minutes. Such a future and prospect are unimaginable, it is too beautiful up.
"Good, good, great!"
A person as calm as the provincial director leader couldn't help grinning and laughing.
The big leader's face was also full of smiles. Not only did he feel happy at this moment, but he also felt very lucky.
Fortunately, Chen Mu and Mu Ya are within the jurisdiction of City X, if they go to other places, this glory and credit will not belong to him.
The leader in charge turned his head and told the big leader: "From now on, your city must mobilize well and support this kid to promote the new variety of rice. As long as it can be done, it will be a great achievement."
"I see."
The big leader nodded quickly.
Do you still need to ask, he has already made up his mind, and he will take this matter as the focus of his work later, and he can put aside other things for the rest of his tenure, and this matter must be the top priority.
The big leader said: "I will discuss it with other leaders in the province when I turn back, and come up with an opinion as soon as possible. You just let go and do it. No matter what, our province will support this matter."
Chen Mu was not very happy at this time, he just watched the Uighur girl secretly scolding her for being a prodigal.
It is enough to report a conservative data in a regular manner. Why do you report such a high number
What if the rice on all 3,000 mu of land is harvested by then, and the number cannot be reached
Things are already perfect, there is really no need to add icing on the cake.
After the yield per mu is roughly estimated, the combine harvesters split up and continue to harvest rice in other rice fields.
Chen Mu dragged the Uighur girl and just complained, but unexpectedly the Uighur girl covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already estimated that our mu yield is likely to reach 600 kilograms, 550 is not a problem at all. No."
"How can it be?"
Chen Mu had a look of disbelief.
The Uighur girl said: "What's impossible? You know, we planted the 3,000-acre land all the time. It's similar to the experimental field, and it's well taken care of. If it were planted by other people, it might not be able to achieve the goal." That number."
With such an explanation, Chen Mu understood.
To put it bluntly, it is planted under careful care, and of course the yield per mu is high.
If it is replaced by other people, the normal data is about 450 to 500 kilograms per mu.
Chen Mu immediately felt relieved, as long as he had some reservations.
The 600 kilograms is a demonstration data. When the rice really comes out, reporting it is like sending a satellite, which will definitely help the promotion in the future.
"Baah..."
Chen Mu was not polite at all, and directly slapped the Uighur girl in the face.
"what are you doing?"
The Uighur girl couldn't help but let out a soft cry, covered her face and hid aside, her face was flushed red.
This is in public, how embarrassing it is to be gnawed by Chen Mu in public.
Chen Mu didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, this is a reward from the boss, remember to keep working hard in the future, the more you do, the more rewards you will get."
