Chapter 368: Light Meal
It is difficult to harvest crops, and it is really difficult for farmers to farm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rao is the Qin family has always worked together, not to mention the hard work of cultivation and irrigation on weekdays, just an autumn harvest and autumn planting, you have to climb in the middle of the night, and the family is racing against time for more than a month to stop.
Of the more than 70 acres of fields, only one person harvests the crops from the ground and brings them ashore to help threshing and raising the field, and the men in the family have to be busy for at least ten days and a half months to make it happen.
This is still the result of the family hiring a capable and willing helper to help a lot, especially God is considered to help.
After the crops came ashore, the men and helpers of the family had to be busy preparing the land for autumn sowing, which had to be busy for most of the moon.
If you still want to clean the canal and tidy up the ridges, then you will have to be busy until the end of the year.
And the men of the family get up early and work in the fields in the dark, and the ladies of the family also have to threh at home.
The grain is threshed and dried repeatedly, and the grains are returned to the warehouse, and the straw in the field is also collected to make the best use of the materials.
That's really true.
Although it stands to reason that chickens have two claws, and people have two hands, as long as they are not afraid of contribution, they can naturally take care of this mouth.
But in the end, manual farming is not as good as machines, modern mechanized farming, as long as you really understand the technology, those big farmers can have a good harvest without mud.
In this world, we can only rely on these two hands to do everything.
There is no one in the village who is reluctant to do this.
But there is always an end to manpower.
Just like the brothers of the Qin family, ten miles and eight villages are well-known for their ability and hard work, early in the morning, the sky just showed the white belly of the fish, and they were busy until noon in the middle of the day, bending over and hunching to cut an acre of rice, which was no problem.
But that's all there is to it.
It's really exhausted, although the strength of this thing, it can grow again tomorrow when it is used up today, but in the end, in the second half of the day, it is often only possible to do some side work.
In this way, year after year, the Qin family has been busy going around like this.
Originally, I thought that this year's rice has been soaked in rain for so long, it is difficult to do tricks, and it may not be difficult for grain to go ashore, but autumn sowing or winter sowing is a big problem, and I don't know if I can catch up.
But I didn't expect that because of the help of the neighbors, yesterday, it was only the third day of the autumn harvest, and everyone came over one after another to be busy until the sun set, and this whole day, they cut more than 20 acres of rice.
Today, but on the fourth day, it was not yet dusk, and all the grain of the thirty acres of land in the other two fields had been landed, and only a few scattered ears of rice were left in the ground.
It's already the season to wear jackets, and the old and young masters who are hunched over are busy until the smoke above their heads is longing to hit shirtless.
But it hasn't been done yet.
No one expected that the grain in the Qin family's field would be collected so neatly, and as long as the grain was landed, half of this heart would be lost.
However, they were excited, and they discussed whether to simply help the Qin family plough the land again, one or two acres per person, but two or three days of busy work, so that the Qin family could quickly plant rape and wheat, so as not to have a famine next year.
Some of them have already planned to go home, and have replaced their sickles with hoes to plough and prepare the land.
In fact, it is clear that most of these people's fields are in a mess, and they are only able to collect grain ashore, and they have not taken care of sowing seeds in the whole land.
Father Qin brought a few brothers of the Qin family over to thank him, arched his hands in a circle, and said: "Old and young masters, thank you for your help, there are some homely meals prepared at home, everyone admires their faces, and eats hot tea and rice to take a breath." ”
The neighbors who came to help in the past two days were basically those who had helped the Qin family when they renovated the house or built the dam on the river, and they had all eaten the Qin family's big pot of rice.
It's even more obsessive.
Only this time everyone came to help, in the final analysis, they actually came to repay their kindness, where they were embarrassed to eat and drink, and they waved their hands and declined Daddy Qin's kindness.
I am also ready to do some more work before the sun sets.
But in the end, the Qin family sincerely invited everyone to have a light meal, three invitations and four invitations, everyone couldn't refuse, so they had to come over, who knew that Daddy Qin obviously said that it was commonplace, but he directly killed a pig.
For the farmer's family, killing pigs is a big deal.
And it's not even a day when you can use the knife.
This is also the reason why Qin Lianhu said yesterday that he wanted to see the yellow calendar.
According to custom, pigs can't be killed on this day, and if someone in the family clashes with pigs, they can't be killed.
It just so happened that today was an auspicious day for the zodiac, so yesterday Mrs. Qin picked a fat and strong black pig to control its food.
Early this morning, Sichuan Pepper had just woken up, and his whole body was sore, like a mixed yuan pile that had been standing for a day, and he heard the cry of the big black pig at home.
The boiling water of the boiling water, the pig-pulling of the pig, the family did not let a few little girls of pepper bay leaves watch from the sidelines, for fear of scaring them.
Therefore, when Hua Jiao hugged Xiangye and heard only a scream, he knew that it must be Qin Lianxiong's knife, and only he and Father Qin could kill him with one sword.
It's just that Daddy Qin is old and can't handle it, and Qin Lianxiong has been killing pigs in the family all these years.
After bloodletting, blowing, hair shedding, and disemboweling, Qin Lianxiong, who was a pig killer, worked until the sun rose to a pole high, and divided all parts of the pork, before changing his clothes and going to the baby care hall to supervise the work.
And the head of the family, Mrs. Qin, took the Du family and the Luo clan to work for the banquet at night.
It took half a day to make a complete set of pork eight bowls of pork bones, pork head, pork belly, and a full set of sewerage.
A big black pig that has been raised for more than half a year and weighs nearly 150 pounds, from head to tail, all came in handy.
Through the walls of the fort, you can see the steaming white mist, and smell the rich smell of meat.
The old village chief of Funnel Bay, who was invited by Qin Lianhu, was heartbroken, and he took Daddy Qin to pity him, and said: "Your pig eats well, the oil and water are sufficient, and the head can have a palm fat, and if it is stewed in the water, it will be fragrant, and the pork should be marinated and kept for the New Year." ”
Father Qin laughed.
In his opinion, compared to the sincerity of everyone, killing a pig is really nothing.
I invited the old village chief and my uncle to come and sit down, and discussed with the two: "I plan to give these dozens of acres of land to everyone to plant......
