Komatsu's father-in-law's millet was already ready to be harvested, Komatsu and Qiuqiu also went to the field to help harvest, and after picking the millet back, they hired a special machine to thresh the millet, and the efficiency was quite high. According to Komatsu, the old man's millet has to be beaten for a total of three days, this is still the first day, everyone is still in high spirits, it is estimated that on the second and third days, many people will be exhausted, so tired that they can't straighten their waists.
Some netizens suggested to Komatsu that he buy a harvester for his father-in-law's family, so that harvesting millet would not be so hard, and he could also buy a small rice transplanter, which was cheap for only a few hundred yuan. Growing three crops of rice a year, all by manpower, is indeed too tiring. If Komatsu buys a harvester and a rice transplanter, he can also help the surrounding villagers and collect some fees appropriately, so that everyone doesn't have to work so hard.
Although such an idea is good, it cannot be implemented at all in Komatsu's father-in-law's house. First of all, there is a lot of silt in the local rice fields, and it is very difficult to plant and harvest manually, and it is difficult to pull out when the foot is sunk in. The harvester is only suitable for the kind of flat field, this kind of silt and potholed field is not suitable at all, no matter how good the machine is, it is easy to break. As for the rice transplanter, it is even more difficult to handle, probably because there is too much water and silt in the field, and the rice transplanter cannot control the depth of the rice transplanter.
Secondly, the local villagers have become accustomed to harvesting their own grain, most of them invite machines to thresh the grain, and the machines are all to calculate the money, if Komatsu buys a harvester for his father-in-law's family, the harvester also costs money, and the people may not be willing to pay this money. At that time, it may be because Komatsu's family has a harvester, and everyone isolates them. Now my father-in-law's family harvests grain, and the neighbors help each other, which is also good.
I think the most important thing at the moment is not the harvester and rice transplanter, if Komatsu has extra money, he can buy a tricycle and teach his father-in-law and brother-in-law to drive a tricycle, so that it will be more convenient to transport things. When Komatsu's father-in-law came to China, he seemed to be very interested in tricycles, and if Komatsu bought him a tricycle, he would be very happy.
In addition to the hard work of harvesting millet, many people find that the yield of millet in Komatsu's family is not high, even if they plant three crops a year, it is only enough to support their family. China's hybrid rice yield is relatively high, so why didn't Komatsu bring hybrid rice to Viet Nam? Although the mother seed of hybrid rice cannot be taken out of the country, other seeds can still be brought out, such as Xiao Chen, who brought hybrid rice to Laos, and this year's rice yield of Xiaomei's family is significantly higher.
Why didn't Komatsu bring Chinese hybrid rice to Viet Nam to grow? I think it is still related to the local climate conditions and soil quality, hybrid rice may not be successful even in Viet Nam, the water depth, terrain and soil quality are different. Moreover, Komatsu's parents have been working outside for many years, and they don't know how to grow hybrid rice anymore, so Komatsu doesn't know much about the planting of hybrid rice, so he simply didn't think about bringing it. What Komatsu did in Viet Nam can be seen that he is a good man, no matter what hard work, he is willing to do it, and he is humble to learn what he does not understand, so he can win the love of many people.
