Chapter 432: Cutting Rice
Chapter 432: Cutting Rice
Uncle and dad took a few Li Jiagou people, ready to pick up the rice ears on the platform, and then threshed and broke the straw.
First go down to the field and cut a small space with your hands, go down the harvester to the field, and as soon as you pull the rope, the diesel engine sounds, and pushes forward like a small boat, and the rice is cut down by brush, and soon it is stacked in a pile behind the machine.
One person pushed the harvester back and forth, and the other person carried the cut rice to the winch platform and handed it to the uncle and others, who began to thresh, crush the poles, and bag them.
Shirly saw that Uncle and Mother Ni were already in full swing, and jumped to her feet and shouted, "Hurry up, let's start too!"
So the five-member group began to pull up their trouser legs and sleeves and slip into the test field.
Li Junge put the tripping bucket on the edge of the field, inserted the block seat, put the wooden frame, and said, "Hahaha, then let's start!"
At the beginning, the action of the five-person group was called a rusty, grabbing a bunch of rice stalks, and gesturing with a sickle for a long time before carefully cutting a knife, sometimes making up for it.
This craft makes those who play with agricultural machinery and those who stand on the field and play SLR almost laugh.
After finally putting together two bunches of rice, Shirly threw the scythe with Alice: "I'm too tired, let's go threshing!"
The two sisters climbed up to the field with a rolling belt, and one of them grabbed a bunch of straw: "Jungle!
Li Junge had no choice but to climb up to the ridge: "Come on, come on, do it like this!"
After speaking, he lifted the rice bundle and threw it hard towards the small wooden ladder.
I only heard a "pop", and the rice grains splashed, crackled and hit the bottom of the bucket and the block, and finally fell.
Li Junge said while falling: "The first time you fall, the force used should be the largest, so the sound is also the loudest, and then gradually reduce the force, and you have to keep turning the rice bundle in your hand until the rice ears are tripped clean." ”
The two girls laughed: "This seems to be easier than cutting rice, we can come here!"
Li Junge said: "This is generally two people coming together, one person rises and one person falls, and it is necessary to play a sense of rhythm." ”
The two sisters and cubs cooperated very well, and their strength was not too great, and the banging sound was very lively, but they didn't see much rice coming down.
Li Junge didn't bother to care about them, and went to cut the rice by himself.
With him in the end, the speed of cutting rice finally became faster.
Li Junge buried his head and walked forward, and after a while, he walked from one end to the other end of the field, and when he raised his head, half of the dumplings and taro had not yet arrived.
Li Junge shouted: "Speed up, at your speed, this land will be harvested for three days! Aunt Bai don't get it, you will be responsible for passing the rice between us and Alice and Shirly." ”
Aunt Bai felt that it made sense, so everyone began to divide and cooperate.
The speed of the three of them slowly increased, and Li Junge did it for a while and shouted: "Zongba taro, you guys change it with Alice and Shirly, you can't stand it like this, change your waist to rest!"
Taro's head was no longer silver, and he raised his head and shouted, "Jungle, what about you?"
Li Junge smiled: "I don't need it!"
So the four of them changed jobs, and Li Junge said: "Aunt Bai, if there is a lot of millet piled up in the bucket, put it in the bag, and I will carry the car up when we eat." ”
After finishing speaking, he continued, scooping up the rice handle with his left hand and slashing the ground with his right hand, leaving only a two-inch-high rice stump on the water.
After working for a long time, the four of them changed hands a few times, and finally cut off a third of the ground.
The tripping bucket also went down to the field, like a small boat, where the people go, it goes.
Mom and Grandma came to deliver food, and Grandma smiled when she saw Alice and Shirly picking straw in front of the tripping bucket: "Ouch, where are the two girls in the crop style, but they are offended, right?"
Shirly was about to cry: "Zuzu, my arms are almost gone, and my waist is almost straight......"
The old mother hurriedly said: "Then let's rest for a while! Sister-in-law Bai, three babies, get up to eat!"
Zongba and taro are like being amnestied: "Ouch, I can finally rest for a while!"
When the taro came to the basket and was about to lift the lid, he was slapped by his mother: "The taro washed his hands in the ditch next to him first!"
Zongba raised his head: "Wow! Look at them!"
At the foot of the mountain, except for the experimental field, the rest of the fields have been harvested with rice. Not only that, but the uncle also formed a circle in each field, buried the broken straw in it, and piled a bulging wrap.
The winch moved up a section at some point, and bags of grain were piled up on both sides of the roadway, waiting to be pulled to the open dam in front of the barn to dry in the afternoon.
At noon, you can't dry the millet directly on the ground, you need to spread a mat, because the temperature on the ground is very high at this time, and the rice may be roasted into popcorn.
Lunch is steamed buns, sauerkraut and bitter bamboo shoot soup, and mushroom roasted pork.
A dozen people began to eat in the fields.
The villagers also made fun of Li Junge while eating.
"Hahaha, I saw you cutting rice on the mountain, I want to do it like you in the old time, I'm afraid that my mother's old man's yellow wattle stick will come down a long time ago......"
"I don't think this is strange, mainly because when the seedlings were planted, they were planted crookedly, hahaha, if you want to talk about fighting, you have already killed ...... at that time"
"It's rare to stumble over the bucket, it's not on the point for a while, I hear it on the top and it's uncomfortable, I can't wait to come down and help them wrestle a few times! You say it's not uncommon to be on the spot occasionally, it's not uncommon to be on the spot, it's not on the spot, it's rare, hahahaha......
"But Piwa can still do it, he hasn't stopped, I'm afraid that more than half of this field was cut by him......"
"Well, you can see at a glance that the ones with leprosy and crooked hair are the ones with rice dumplings and taro, and the ones that are flat and straight are cut out by Piwa......"
After eating and replenishing water, Li Junge said: "Let's go, go on, and work hard to finish cutting this land today!
Grandma and Mom didn't leave, but pointed out a few people on the side.
With the guidance of the two old farmers, the work was much smoother, and the sound of the stumbling bucket began to fluctuate, and with the rhythm of the tripping bucket, the three people in the field also began to have a regular and rhythmic knife, and suddenly felt that the speed was much faster.
Alice and Shirly began to work together one after the other, and the sound became thicker and thicker, and Grandma and Mom pointed out some tricks, and then they packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went back, and it was time to prepare dinner again.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that six people finished harvesting the one acre of land.
Zongba and taro couldn't even climb up the field, but Li Junge pulled the two up.
Aunt Bai was also so tired that she had a salt stain on her neck and opened her mouth, but she had no strength to speak.
Alice and Shirly climbed over, and the five of them leaned on a heap, too tired to move a finger.
Li Junge moved the things to the raptor and said with a smile: "Hey, Zongba, what about the athletes?"
Zongba waved his hand: "Not all muscles can be trained by athletes...... Ouch, my hands are blistering!"
Li Junge said: "Yes, I'll load things into the car first, and you guys quickly check if there are leeches or something on your legs......
The taro was so tired that Shuzhou's words came out: "If you want to suck it, let it suck...... I can't lift my feet anymore......"
After putting the things away, Li Junge pulled up the exhausted people one by one and sent them to the car.
drove the car to the outside of the fish pond in front of the house, and the group of five relieved themselves.
However, it was useless to expect them to work anymore, so Li Junge had no choice but to arrange for them to take a bath, clean up their things, spread a mat in the hall, and pour out the collected Wujin blood rice to open the wind.
After finishing these, I came to the back of the house and took a shower with the dumplings and taro.
After washing and turning back to the front yard, Alice and Shirly sat in the courtyard with wet hair, one holding a large cup in his hand, and it seemed that he had already poured a belly of herbal tea.
Seeing Li Junge and them coming out, Alice began to play Laipi: "Jungle, if you are still so tired tomorrow, we will strike!"
Li Junge snorted and laughed: "Your class has not done it right! As soon as the peasants say that they are not on strike, if they don't do it, they will only be hungry!"
Aunt Bai also came out with a big tea jar, shook her head and said: "Piwa, your nation is really great! The quality of hard-working and hard-working is definitely tempered from farming." ”
Li Junge said with a smile: "I also agree with this, but there will be a three-day buffer period in the future, and tomorrow morning, when the ground starts to heat up, we will have to dry the millet, which will be much easier than today." ”
This is the father also came back, and he praised the six people: "It's quite good! Six novices, one acre of land in one day, it's very good." ”
When I entered the hall, I took a look: "Yo! This can't increase by 30 percent, right? I can't beat a thousand catties! Didn't the mountain say that the yield per mu is usually seven or eight hundred catties?"
Li Junge said with a smile: "This year's rice seeds are carefully selected, and the terraced fields have not been planted for many years? ”
Dad said happily: "This is about to catch up with hybrid rice! This variety is really good, this year, I guess the villagers should have nothing to say, right?"
This is Ayin also came back with the children, and when he entered the door, he was overjoyed: "This is from the experimental field? It's much more than on our mountain!"
My mother came out with a pot of porridge and said, "Not only is it too much, but it's also full! Come on, come on, everyone is tired, hurry up and eat!"
Dinner is simple, sweet potato porridge, cold water spinach, eggplant dipped in water, a pot of bath kimchi, a plate of sausage and pork tongue.
The amount of food of the five-person group today is different from the past, but they are not interested in meat, and the chopsticks go to the water spinach eggplant kimchi, and even the two sisters and cubs have eaten three bowls each.
After dinner, the heat had subsided, the children went to the ancestral hall threshing floor to play, and Li Junge and Ayin walked around the village with the five-person group to eat.
The group wandered around and came to the front of several wooden buildings.
It just so happens that several artists will return to Shudu tomorrow, and Li Junge will also come over to pay a visit.
Entering the wooden building, I saw several painters sorting out their paintings for this holiday, and the old man Ding pointed out where the lines of the autumn girl were still clear, and where the brushstrokes were not intended.
Seeing a group of people coming, Old Man Ding beckoned to Li Junge: "Come on, come on, look at the growth of the autumn girl!"
