Some industrial skills competitions took the lead in the hot start.
Planting yam, peeling yam, and estimating cattle.
Three competitions staged a wonderful showdown.
Planting yam
The red land of the Hui nationality township in Hongdian was surrounded by villagers, and 40 "masters" of planting yam were divided into 8 groups to compete at the same time. I saw the contestants armed with working tools ready to go. With the command, each group acted quickly, comparing methods, spelling speed, fertilizing, planting seeds and covering soil, and several processes were completed in one go. One yam seed was planted in spring.
After fierce competition, the team from Maoke Village became "experts in planting yam". Contestant Ma Longwei said excitedly, "I have been planting yam for many years. Today’s competition is very lively and happy. It is such an opportunity to show our skills, and everyone can communicate with each other and learn a lot. It also makes me more confident in planting yam."
Peel yam
Peeling is also a necessary skill for everyone in Hongdian. In the peeling workshop of Honghong Breeding Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Hongdian Township, an intense competition for peeling yam is going on. The contestants line up, hold the yam in one hand and the peeling knife in the other, and fly up and down, and they can cut one in 10 seconds, which is clean and neat.
After 30 minutes of fierce competition, the judges judged the players according to the weight and cleanliness of the yam. In the end, Ma Mengmei, a contestant, scored 39.4 Jin in 10 minutes and won the first prize in the yam cutting competition. "I’m very happy to get the first place. I usually work here, and I’ve long known the skills of cutting yam. Through this competition, I can let more people know about our Hongdian yam and make it bigger and bigger. I feel very happy. " Ma Mengmei said.
Cattle estimation race
In addition to the yam competition, the "one cow" in Hongdian is not to be outdone. On the side of the cattle evaluation competition, 20 "cattle experts" from Hongdian Township gathered here. One by one "cattle people" showed their housekeeping skills and used their "eyes" to observe the cow skeleton, appearance, lines, etc., and estimated the weight of the cow. As a result, the player closest to the true weight of the cow won.
After weighing, Yang Haimu from Maoke Village won the final victory with a minimum of 36kg, and became the "king of cattle evaluation" in the cattle evaluation competition. "I have raised cattle for decades. I usually deal with cattle. Today, the estimated cattle are a few kilograms short and won the first place in the small group. I am very happy. I will continue to raise cattle well in the future, for our ‘ Cattle ’ Industry adds strength. " Yang Haimu said.
It is understood that the awarding ceremony of the first, second and third prizes selected in the various competitions of the industrial arena will be held at the first spring ploughing festival held on March 11.
