Chapter 46: The Harvest Feast
The next day, when Sean woke up to the wheat field, the wheat harvest was in full swing, and the scene was very spectacular. Some of the leaders harvested the scythe that Sean had ordered the blacksmith to build overnight last night, and the harvesting efficiency was very fast. These lords have been working with farmland for most of their lives, so they are naturally not bad at farm work, and they are also equipped with sharp scythes.
Most of the people still maintain the traditional wooden farming tools of the original continent and harvest them with no slow efficiency. They all have a common expression, and that is the joy of harvest.
It was late spring, and the weather was officially sweltering, but the people still had no complaints, and conscientiously dealt with the wheat in front of them, which was piled up one by one, and the harvested wheat fields leaked out of the dark earth again.
"Your Excellency, my lord, is well. Joyce was still the usual greeting.
Sean watched the wheat in the distance being harvested piece by piece, and couldn't help asking, "How long will it take to be harvested according to this progress?" ”
Joyce pointed to the people in front of him and said excitedly, "At present, more than 1,000 people on the island have all participated in the harvest, and with the help of the scythe you made, Lord Lord, the harvest should be completed today." In addition, preliminary calculations have made the wheat output far ahead of expectations. ”
Joyce was excited, but his tone was steady. After many shocks, he had become a little numb, and even if the lord had a way to pluck the stars from the sky, he would only sigh calmly, "Oh, lord is wise. "What's more, the shock of food production exceeding expectations is far less than the fantasy of taking salt from seawater.
"Well, the harvest feast is scheduled for tonight, or on the beach. This banquet was a little grander, with all the lords and serfs participating, so that they could let down their guard and better integrate into Sean Island. ”
"The new round of cultivation also needs to be prepared in advance, and the silt from the islands and lakes can also be used. When the time comes, you will order the people to dig up some silt in the lakes of the prairie and spread it on the cultivated fields, which is equivalent to the fertilizer fermented by Old Hunter. ”
"Silt? Okay, I'll arrange it. ”
At present, many government affairs on Sean Island are handled by Joyce and some officials below, and there are fewer and fewer government affairs that Sean can worry about, but this is fine, so that he has enough time and energy to exercise his fighting spirit and strive to break through to the Silver Swordsman as soon as possible.
After Joyce's favorability broke through to 100, although nothing very mysterious happened, it was obvious that the direction of his thinking was almost always based on Sean's interests.
Now Sean Island only needs to develop steadily, I believe that the current development of Sean Island has exceeded the vast majority of islands in the same period, and the development potential of Sean Island will be greater and greater, not to mention the income of the salt pond, the income generated by the salt yuan fruit tree alone is absolutely satisfactory, but I don't know how long this time will take.
......
At night, on the beach of the pier north of Sean Island, dense leaders are dancing around several bonfires, still those chaotic dances, but the leaders are still happy.
Under Sean's repeated reminders that the harvest party should be held solemnly, the campfire was filled with all kinds of delicacies and wheat wine. The people are constantly shuttling through the food, and the alcoholic people simply hold the barrel and don't let go, and the children wait expectantly for the barbecue to be completed.
Odd with it were Sean, Taylor, Durrou, Joyce, and Nick, who sat at a table under the tree, watching the cheers and frolic of the people in the distance, chatting funny stories about the original continent.
Sean listens most of the time as a bystander, nodding his head in agreement. The white bread, wheat wine, and unknown seafood on the table no longer catch Sean's eye.
Since Sean's meals are supplemented with all kinds of seafood, and he can taste the taste of colorful chicken from time to time, his taste has gradually begun to be a little tricky, and the general food can't satisfy his taste, it's just a stuff to fill his stomach.
"My lord, the wheat field has been harvested today, and there are about 330 tons of wheat, which is really a bumper harvest, enough for the current lords to have food for the next year. Joyce said with emotion.
"What's the matter, the grain harvest is not good?" Sean looked at Joyce with emotion on his face, and couldn't help but tease.
"The lord laughed, the grain harvest was good at the time, but I was afraid that my heart would not be able to bear so many frightes. ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Joyce's frightened expression and two demonic mustaches.
"My lord, my lord, this is some of our little intentions, they are all caught from the sea, and I hope you will accept them. A little girl dressed in sackcloth with a delicate face said timidly holding a plate of seafood.
"Three years to start, the highest death penalty? Bah, bah, where does my girlfriend have fun cultivating, these can't tempt me at all. Sean quickly drove that terrible thought out of his mind, and if this kind of thought was not controlled early, then the evil thought would be out of control.
Seeing Sean's stunned appearance, Du Lu said with emotion: "Old man, old man, now it's the world of young people." ”
The little girl saw the eyes of the crowd with a look of surprise, her face changed from pink to red, and after putting the plate on the table, she could not even speak, and fled the scene quickly.
"Look at a group of you, how old you are, scaring other little girls. Sean straightened his face and said in a pretended seriousness.
As if he didn't see Sean's expression, Du Lu continued to laugh and said: "Men and women love, this is normal, Lord Lord, you have also reached this age, it is normal to have these thoughts, old guy, I support Lord Lord, if Lord Lord, you can't pull this face, you can do it for me, do you want your father and your mother or am I matchmaking?"
"Ahem, ahem. Sean felt that the theme of this banquet was slowly starting to deviate, and he had enjoyed the ravages of the marriage urging army in his previous life, and he knew very well that if he did not change the topic in time, then the topic would be endless.
"Huh, this is?" Sean was pleasantly surprised to find that the seafood on his plate resembled oysters from his previous life.
Oysters: Oysteraceae, bivalve molluscs, oysters are elongated, dorsal and ventral margins are almost parallel, scales are thick, lamellar or lamellar arrangement, the outer shell is flat or with several depressions, lavender, gray-white or yellowish-brown, porcelain white on the inside, and there are no small teeth on both sides of the top of the shell. Note: A man's gas station, a woman's beauty salon.
"It's really oysters. Sean cried out in surprise.
"Oysters?" the crowd looked at Sean hesitantly.
"Uh-huh, oysters, that's a good thing, especially for men. Sean said with a wicked look at Duru.
As soon as everyone heard this, they generally understood what Sean meant, and seeing that Sean had already started it, everyone couldn't care about being reserved, and slowly joined the tonic meal.
The laughter lasted until late at night.
