Meet oil sunflower

It took six weeks to harvest, dry, bag and pile sunflowers in the house. It usually decreases on weekends. From Monday to Friday, when we "three corn" go to work and go to school, our parents and relatives beat sunflower seeds. Many times when I came back from work, it was getting dark, and my parents were still tirelessly waving sticks, and familiar voices sounded in my heart. So I feel doubly distressed, not only for my parents, but also for farmers and workers like my parents. I feel that my work is really much easier. I will also work overtime after dinner, turn on the street lamp in the yard at night and concentrate on fighting for a while, so as to get some comfort and reduce the burden for my family.

This is the second large-scale replanting of oil sunflower in our family. The last time was three years ago, there was a leap in June. With the desire to give it a try, nine plows, three carrots and six oil sunflower. At that time, the right time, the right place and the right people made good use of it and had a bumper harvest. Carrots are thick and long, very strong, very popular and attractive. Oil sunflower is also surprisingly good, the center of the fruit bowl is cooked, and there is almost no stalk. There are 36 snakeskin bags, each bag is about 50 kilograms. Because I squeezed oil to send it to my relatives and friends, I also ate sunflower seed oil for three years. This is pure natural handmade oil, which is a real top grade. Those edible oils sold in the market now are really not at ease, especially all blended oils are mixed randomly, and I don't know what oil is mixed, which makes people uneasy.

This time it is also taking advantage of the long autumn in July. Two years ago, in the late autumn, after harvesting the last oil sunflower, my parents chanted that if I could live to the next leap month, I would purebred wheat and replant oil sunflower. Time passed before you knew it. Fortunately, we are still alive. This time, we just realized a wish. In the past few years, in my hometown, because of relocation, many people are on the move, and the care for crops is not as pious as before. Some people don't like trouble, just pure wheat. At the end of summer, they let the harvester harvest for an hour or two, and then this fertile farmland was abandoned until early winter. Let those weeds in the field fend for themselves, when the time comes, a plough and winter irrigation can be regarded as planting a crop. I can see that the reason why the old farmers with average parents come back to their crops and fall behind in the autumn harvest is that they are attached to and care for their old friends in farmland, and they never want to see them abandoned because no one takes care of them. Every time they pass such cultivated land, they can't help but say, what do you think of such a good land? In the eyes of parents, a lifetime of cultivated land is not an ordinary land, but a field of life, which has truly become the best position, stage and expectation for life practice. Managing cultivated land is managing their lives. Isn't this the true craftsman spirit?

Sunflowers can't be cooked just by talking. In these two crops, we found a good time, that is, leap six leap seven, while autumn is long, so that sunflower has enough time to cook noodles. Otherwise, first frost will come early, even if the sunflower will try hard to get familiar with it, it will not help the grim situation of "the wind and the sword are pressing each other", which will eventually lead to flowers blooming and giving up halfway. It is said that several points of this crop are very important. The first is time, so we must hurry. Many experiences have proved that sowing one day earlier can lead to harvesting one day earlier, and of course the results are more assured. Therefore, it is necessary to observe more during the wheat yellowing period, plan the harvesting time and harvest in time. Preferably before noon. There is dew in the morning and the harvested wheat is not very dry; In the afternoon, due to the baking at noon, the harvester is easy to splash when harvesting, which wastes food, and it has to wait for the next day to plow. After harvesting in the morning, rest for lunch at noon, harvest wheat straw at noon, make an appointment with the big iron cow in advance, plow the land before dark, and put it in the stall for irrigation the next day, so as to leave more time for stubble. Secondly, we should choose the right time. Due to years of cultivation, the original sand has become sticky, but moisture is easy to harden. It is best not to irrigate after planting. So it's best to drip water first and sow immediately after two or three days. Humidity is enough, but it won't soak the seeds. Coupled with the high temperature baking in midsummer, in a few days, the seedlings will grow out in a swish, and soon they will be green and vivid. Third, never be greedy, and raise seedlings in a planned way. The golden section is the rule. Everything is reasonable, greed is a burden, production is insufficient, and neutralization is the most beautiful.

When I planted this year, because I didn't go to work, my father went to several places and didn't buy the medicine for mowing the grass last time. As a result, the grass is covered with sunflower seedlings, which are also mixed with thin yellow. In addition, it was rainy and there was water. The bottom two layers of leaves of sunflower seedlings have died. So as soon as it cleared up, we grabbed the hoe. Even if it is still muddy, my mother still insists on loosening the soil for a change of air, otherwise it will suffocate and soak too much. I like to look back at the seedlings after hoeing. They are fresh and numerous at once, and they support a lot. Then there was a breeze blowing, then the sweat was wiped, and the body was cool, and Miao nodded. It is really a happy scenery! Wait a week or two, when the seedlings grow to five inches high, choose compound fertilizer and apply it enough. You see, sunflower seedlings are the same every day, black and shiny, so lush! I don't care this time except going to the fields to help, hugging the crushed seedlings, pulling up the missed weeds and visiting friends to enjoy them. As for watering, just follow the soil moisture.

I was at work when applying compound fertilizer this year. Father worked hard, relatives and friends helped, and two or three laborers were called. But my dad tried to make it cheaper, and each bag of compound fertilizer was 30 cheaper than the last bag.

Qian Yuan may be short of phosphorus, potassium and other elements, and the growth of oil sunflower this year is not as strong as last year. Fortunately, weeding and weeding are solid, and sunflowers grow sturdily without the interference of idle grass, and soon have a posture. The first two or three plots near the south are the last to be planted. I wanted to plant it thinly, but when I saw more seeds left, I planted it thicker. As a result, the sunflowers in the south have grown taller, their stems are not thick, and the fruits can be imagined. I visit my old friends in the fields every weekend, or come back from work one afternoon. The first thing I did when I got home was to rush to the fields to catch the twilight. Regardless of the size, the buds grow uniformly, and every straw is collected by Qi Xin, holding the buds devoutly. Hundreds of millions of straws and hundreds of millions of buds in the whole ten mu of land have the same clever mind as a large group of mongooses in the animal kingdom, and their black eyes are eager to look forward to and shock. Straw, broad leaves and buds are covered with a layer of short, simple and furry needles, which are beneficial to energy and youth, just waiting for flowers to bloom.

Come and see the flowers. Have a nice trip. Most importantly, there will be two or three big bees infatuated with each flower tray, and it takes about five seconds to change the flower tray. I am afraid that one mountain will let go of another, and I am afraid that better powder will be taken away by others. The whole field is buzzing, rubbing their hands, beating their chests, changing time and space and devouring mountains and rivers. Some flowers are half open, some are slightly exposed, some are just blooming, and some are fully unfolded, competing for the power of youth. How can there be no envy, jealousy and hate, how can there be no bitterness and love? Every petal is quietly released from the shade, and the golden Spring Festival is spitting at the sun, and the anger of life is fully exposed. Sitting quietly on the border ridge, I don't feel that time flies, and the old times are coming. In addition, the poplars on both sides of the ground are surrounded by canals, which are greener, and the fields are breezy and quiet. How can it not be a pleasure? I sincerely hope that every oil sunflower will work together, every rhizome will send all the expected flowers and fruits, and every broad leaf will try its best to photosynthesize and continuously deliver the oxygen of life. How can I not feel ashamed of this beauty that aims at ideals and strives to move forward? At the flowering time, it happens to be a family party. My wife and I gathered nearly 20 young people, such as Xia Qingzhen Lan and Jiemian Xuanxin Qige Junru, to enjoy it and stay here. We are full of joy and sighs, so how can we not forget our worries?

Unfortunately, the second half of autumn is a dry season. Sunflowers have blossomed and are short of water. On the one hand, the water supply of the Yellow River has been interrupted, and there has not been a drop of rain for more than a month. Seeing the clouds and waves floating from the sea of clouds is just an empty gesture. In this way, the oil sunflower was thirsty and several layers of leaves withered to varying degrees. Fortunately, when the flowers were defeated and the noodles were about to be cooked, it rained several times and once, and finally compensated for the balance! But the fact is that the oil sunflower has saved the drought, and the timely rain is just some comfort. This year's oil sunflower is obviously not as full as last time, for obvious reasons. However, most sunflower dishes are still quite good, ripe and strong. Hi! Now that I think about it, that oil sunflower didn't grow hard! In the years of his life, he tried every step, but the degree or direction was different. For example, there are several small heads on a single stem, which are also handsome and the seeds are ripe, but they are not big.

The last time I harvested sunflower seeds, I pulled them all back in one breath, but I couldn't finish them for a while, which caused some sunflower seeds to be hot and moldy and unsightly. So this year, my mother suggested walking in several steps, cutting two plots of land, and then cutting them after finishing. So step by step, no hurry. Here, my father and I suggest not to hurry back, just let the sunflower tray air-dry on the straw, so that it is easy to cut back and dry quickly. So at the end of the day, the sunflower tray is dry, and the hard blade is harder. Flat leaves will break for you when you touch them, and they will stick to gloves and clothes. Dry flowers are like needles, which ordinary thread gloves can't stand. You can only use rubber gloves. It's hard to cut, but it's much easier to dry.

I am not only amazed that the two buds sprouting between Hu Ji's acne grow wildly out of control until they bloom, but also amazed that each bud is piously held high by one sunflower stalk after another until it withers and is cut off. To my amazement, countless bees are busy picking flowers all day, and they don't know about the southeast and northwest until the flowering period stops. I was surprised, too, that every dish of melon seeds that had been hidden behind the flowers with flower decay soon came out neatly until I bent my head. I finally understand that there is a flower on my mother's sole, which looks exactly like the bud on the top of this sunflower seed butt. Including the trend of the whole sole stitch, which is exactly the same as that of this sunflower tray. These must be the result of the combination of hard-working and intelligent rural women's labor and art. My mother smiled knowingly when I explained it to her.

Because the stem is ready, more than half of the sunflower seeds begin to "drip", and when touched, the sunflower seeds will automatically fall off. In addition, with a small stick, the whole melon seeds will fall off completely, leaving only a honeycomb-shaped chassis and golden pits, marking the existence of each melon seed. After unloading the fruit, these empty plates will be relaxed. It is perfect to pile them in the corner and simply dry them and simmer them as snacks for cattle and sheep. Every sunflower stalk should be reserved in advance, and relatives and friends use it to burn kang, which is heat-resistant and excellent. At this point, the life of oil sunflower has come and gone. In the future, the remaining 4 1 bag of oil sunflower seeds harvested this year will be pulled into several bags to extract oil, so as to benefit consumers.

Sunflower seed oil is light in color and golden in color. According to my father's many calculations, it is 3.2.

A catty of sunflower seeds squeezes out a catty of sunflower oil. Relatives and friends feedback that sunflower oil is essential for barbecue, and it will not smoke when dripping on the oven, and the skewers are very smooth and tender to eat. I have personally experienced the beauty of sunflower oil, and it does not foam when frying fish. The color of fish is only true color with a little golden yellow, which is extremely elegant. The same is true of scrambled eggs with sunflower seed oil, which is non-foaming, non-mushy, golden in color and has a good appetite. The most important thing is to eat the fruits of one's own labor, and the road to it is clear, clean and practical, which the market can't give. Only this piece of rural cultivated land that has accompanied us for nearly 30 years can be endowed with peace and grace. With this nutrition, we can embark on a new journey-the road ahead, how quiet and brave we are!
