291 harvested
"This Xu Lang doesn't take our master too seriously, he actually robs people with our master, our master is a lifter, what is he?"
It happened that the people of the hunting team were passing by, and when they heard this, they immediately sneered, "What do you say to give you face, and you can't put it in your eyes." It was our brother's own decision to go to Brother Xu's house to work, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be a slave here? ”
Saying that those are useless, Yu Juren not only gives less money, but it is still difficult for thieves to provide a meal. The autumn harvest is a time of great physical exertion, even if you eat big fish and meat these days, you have to be tired to take off a layer of skin after the autumn harvest, not to mention that if you don't eat well, it's a serious illness.
No one is stupid, with that delicious food and drink, you can make more money, why do you go to the people to be angry? Doing some work is like being a slave to their family, how can there be a lively conversation and laughter in Xu Lang's house.
"Okay, okay, you all look at Xu Lang, forget who is the boss of this Black Bear Ridge, right?" The housekeeper is not good, on weekdays, these mud-legged people see that they are not accompanied by a smiling face, since they were beaten by Xu Lang last time, no matter how they look at these guys, they have bad intentions when they look at themselves.
The housekeeper didn't know how to find the reason from himself, but instead pointed this contradiction to Xu Lang, and even took it home and talked about it, which affected his attitude a little.
Yu Juren doesn't care about these things on weekdays, and after hearing about it, he also disliked Xu Lang very much. However, he was proud of his identity and didn't want to worry about Xu Lang, so he was safe and sound.
Every year the autumn harvest is the busiest time, Xu Lang still hired twenty people, with Wang Gui's three laborers and himself, these are twenty-four people, cutting the land, picking corn, pulling the cart, and working for four days The twenty acres of land are finished, this is mainly because the big guy is not very familiar with the work process of picking corn, Xu Lang is a half-hanger, and the autumn harvest depends on groping. Naturally, it's slow.
The corn stalks and the corn cobs were all pulled to their own mansion, and the rice over there was cut in one day, but they were not in a hurry to pull it back.
The remaining 30 acres of sorghum in Xianrenmiao Village will be easy to do, and Xu Lang will take the three laborers of Wang Gui's family. I hired five more people in the Immortal Temple, and after a few days of busy work, I got all the food home.
When many families in the village were still working in the fields, Xu Lang and Lin Xiao spent some silver and provided a few meals.
Corn threshing is very troublesome, and Xu Lang has no good way at the moment. After discussing it with Lin Xiao, he was still going to go back and ask the villagers to help. But this matter is not in a hurry, when the big guy finishes the autumn harvest, just call someone to the house to get it, give some money, and the big guy can have an income in the winter.
Originally, according to Xu Lang's meaning, he directly smashed it with a stick, but Lang Shuzhi smiled after hearing it: "It's true that you haven't done farm work, threshing has 碡路 (liù zhou), just find a cow to go through a few laps on it, save time and effort." "I still want to hit it with a stick. That's a tired silly boy.
Xu Lang sneered, "Haven't I ever done farm work?" ”
Lin Xiao felt sorry for him, his shoulders were worn out when he picked rice seedlings in the spring, and although he also went to the field to work this autumn, he didn't do much, and he was laughed at by the villagers like a big girl. Xu Lang doesn't care, who makes the little girl in the family feel distressed, how can their reckless men know the gentleness of their little girl.
"I know you haven't done farm work, but there are several in the village of Liù Zhou, and they are all used by the big guys in turn. If you want to talk to Li Zheng, go back and ask Brother Li to help you figure it out, and it will be done in two days. ”
Xu Lang felt that this was a good way, and went home to tell Lin Xiao. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao shook his head when he heard this.
"Let's not be greedy for simplicity, our corn is not for eating, most of it is to be kept for seeds, then 碡禄 (liù zhou) is a big stone, what if the seeds are crushed?" Lin Xiaoyi said, Xu Lang also felt reasonable.
But what about the more than 10,000 catties of corn. If you rub it by hand, when do you have to get it?
In the end, the two finalized it, picked out the good ones and left 2,000 catties to make seeds, and asked the villagers to rub the corn, and the rest were pressed with the "advanced" 碡禄 (liù zhou).
There are people drying in the threshing floor every day, and they are busy, and Lin Xiao has a lot of food, and they can't take their turn. simply dried it in his own yard, fortunately, Xu Lang's house is big, and there are no things in the yard this year, most of them are compacted, and it is also convenient to dry.
In a busy autumn, although Xu Lang and Lin Xiao hired someone to do the work, the two of them still tanned and lost weight after an autumn. Looking at the grain in the warehouse, the two felt that the fatigue was worth it.
There are more than 10,000 catties of sorghum rice and corn, and there are nearly 20,000 catties of rice planted in 50 acres.
Lin Xiao is not in a hurry to sell the newly planted rice, this year is a bumper harvest, and the price of grain has dropped. Lin Xiao was going to wait for the market to stabilize and then look at the situation, she didn't want to sell it as ordinary rice.
Xu Lang and Lin Xiao had just finished harvesting in autumn, and before they could find someone to rub the two thousand catties of corn, someone came to the door.
"Brother Fang, why are you here, please come inside." Xu Lang saw that Fang Zhongde was also very enthusiastic, without Fang Zhongde, he would not have entered Beijing to pour goods to make money, Fang Zhongde can be said to be his guide.
As the dart head of the prosperous dart game, Fang Zhongde thinks that he has some insight and is very accurate in seeing people. But he still underestimated Xu Lang.
"I didn't expect Brother Xu, your family business to be so big." Originally, I only thought it was a poor country boy with some skills, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. For this big house, I'm afraid it will cost a few hundred taels. And these ornaments and subordinates, which of them do not ask for silver.
Seeing this, Fang Zhongde was a little unsure about the purpose of his trip.
Lin Xiao also knew Fang Zhongde, and knew that this person took good care of Xu Lang, so he took the initiative to keep someone for dinner. "It just so happened that someone was hunting in the village, there were two hares and a pheasant, I stewed it, and Brother Fang drank two cups with Xu Lang." She beckoned Wang Gui's family to go to the village to take a look, who still has prey, buy what can be bought, and borrow what can't. Whoever comes to the village, the big guys help each other.
I asked Zhuzi to go to Mrs. Qian's to buy a few strips of tofu, and there are a lot of sorghum wine from the Liu family's pot at home, which Xu Lang bought and prepared, so I can't use it.
Fang Zhongde was not polite, "Then it will be troublesome for the girl." Lin Xiao went out with a smile, Fang Zhongde squeezed his eyes at Xu Lang, "When are you going to do something?" ”
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, and immediately blushed. (To be continued.) )
