The two families discussed and planted mustard greens on the wasteland in the back mountain, and the next day the grandfather pulled a few loads of fertilizer from the big pit on the right mountain and sprinkled it on the wasteland, and then used a plow and rake to comb the fertilizer and soil evenly. Yesterday, I told the villagers that they would dig pits for fertilizer, and today on the wasteland behind the mountain, a group of villagers are digging big pits in their own fields to make fertilizer. Yang Yun couldn't help the work in the field, so she went to the workshop and took out the samples of the head flowers that would be delivered in five days, and gave them to the girls in the workshop to imitate and produce.

"Sister Wan, let the girls make these two new models first, by the way, I want to take the headflowers to the grocery store, have you checked them?"

"It's all checked, it's loaded, and it's waiting for you to take it to town. Now the girls in the workshop have made the first flowers, and there are fewer bad ones. ”

"That's good, when you let them make the hair flowers, be careful." In the past, when the girls in the workshop first learned to make head flowers, how many head flowers were broken and how many rags were wasted. Now that they are skilled in their hands, there are very few damaged head flowers.

"Xiao Yun, don't worry, I will tell them." Zhou Wan has always been very responsible for the affairs of the workshop.

Yang Yun explained the matter, and went back to the house to work, the rabbits at home have grown up, Yang Yun has always wanted to find a male rabbit, so that the female rabbit can regenerate a few litters of rabbits out, otherwise how to make money with the eight rabbits in the family, but unfortunately I haven't found a male rabbit for a long time.

The next day, Yang Yun went to the workshop early in the morning to open the door, and by the way, she brought out the head flowers made in the workshop, and prepared to take them to the town to be sold by Zhou's sister-in-law. Today, grandpa and they have to pull pickled salted eggs from home and go to Zhu's restaurant to deliver them.

Grandpa has been turned away from the door since he went to Zhu's house to drink wedding wine last time, and he has no good impression of the Zhu family. The shopkeeper of the restaurant found out that his grandfather and they did not arrive at Zhu's house that day, and later apologized to his grandfather on behalf of the Zhu family. Grandpa already has a thorn in his heart about the Zhu family, and now he doesn't have such a good impression of the Zhu family as he did at the beginning. The subordinate who stopped his grandfather that day was the subordinate sent by the grandmother of the Zhu family to help, and the shopkeeper of Zhu had already explained this to his grandfather.

Today, Yang Yong and Dabao helped pull eggs to the town, and when grandpa went to the town, he told Uncle Li and Yang Yun that they pulled eggs to Zhujia Restaurant, and grandpa went to the grain store to buy mustard seeds. Yang Yun went to Zhu's restaurant to hand over the salted eggs and settle the accounts, and then went back to Chow Tai Fook's grocery store.

Yang Yun handed over the first flower brought today to Sister-in-law Zhou, and reconciled with Sister-in-law Zhou, and settled the money spent on the last batch. Grandpa finished loading raw eggs, Yang Yun reconciled accounts with Chow Tai Fook again, and went back to Zhoujia Village with grandpa. Grandpa bought four acres of mustard seeds today, and the wasteland that has been sprinkled with fertilizer can be sprinkled into the ground as long as it is watered twice and the ground is combed again with a plow rake. Mustard seeds, planted in the ground, will germinate in about three days, mustard is not only cold-resistant, easy to plant, but also high yield.

Two days later, the four acres of wasteland in the back mountain were combed again with a plow rake, and the mustard seeds were planted. Mustard greens are a very practical dish, it is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, it is very delicious, and can also be used for stir-frying, cold salad, and shabu-shabu. There are six main types of mustard in a country: mustard greens, mustard greens for leaves, mustard greens for stems, mustard greens for sprouts, mustard greens for sprouts and mustard greens for roots. The stems and leaves are crisp and tender, and the taste is fragrant.

Mustard greens have the effect of dissipating cold in warmth, reducing swelling and channeling, mustard greens are suitable for sweating, dispersing gas, just minding the meaning, cold without sweating, abdominal distension and stagnation, phlegm occlusion can be eaten. Yang Yun remembered that in her previous life, as soon as winter came, her hands and feet would have chilblains, as long as she boiled water with mustard greens, added a small amount of wine, and then put her hands and feet with chilblains on the mustard water to sweat, chilblains would soon be cured.

Planting mustard should pay more attention, the moisture of the soil in the field, to water in a timely manner, especially mustard seeds, just before the emergence of seedlings, it is necessary to keep the soil moist enough, watering time in the morning and evening. It is necessary to master the principle of light pouring and frequent watering, and it cannot be poured thoroughly at one time.

The weeding work of mustard is also very important, mustard plants are short, usually when sowing, they are planted by sowing, weeds are mixed with mustard, weeding is more difficult, time-consuming and laborious, so we must be diligent to pull weeds in the ground, do not let weeds take away the nutrients of mustard seedlings.

After planting mustard greens on four acres of wasteland, the Yang family and the Li family began to harvest, and the wheat planted under the right mountain and on the twelve acres of wasteland was already ripe. After working hard for more than half a year, it is finally the harvest season. In addition to Yang Yun and them, Zhoujia Village will also enter the busy agricultural period of autumn harvest. At the school, Kong Zhongkan listened to Zhou Lizheng's opinion and gave all the students in Zhoujia Village half a month's farm leave.

Yang Yun also gave the girls a holiday in the workshop, and in the autumn harvest season, every family was all out of the house, and the farmers worked hard for most of the year, just for this time. Yang Yun took into account everyone's situation, so the workshop also had a holiday during the day, but in order not to affect the production of the workshop, Yang Yun asked the girls to light up the lights at night to work. As for whether to work at night or not, it is up to the girls to decide, and the workshop has always been to earn more if you do more.

Yang Yun told Yang Yong that if the workshop had to work at night, Yang Yong was almost at the beginning of the day, and at about 9 o'clock in the evening, he would go to the workshop to pick up Yang Yun and go home. Yang Yun is responsible for closing the door at night, and after dinner, Yang Yun goes to the workshop and accompanies the girls to make hair flowers.

Zhoujia Village ushered in September, the harvest season. Early in the morning, the two families began to harvest the wheat on the wasteland, and the two families looked at the golden wheat fields, each with a bright smile on their faces, and everyone knew in their hearts that this year was a bumper harvest year. Grandpa, they picked up the sickle they had already sharpened, and began to harvest the wheat of twelve acres of wasteland. Yang Yun was happy for the two families from the bottom of her heart, Yang Yun looked at the heavy ears of wheat, and knew that this year's wheat harvest in the wasteland would definitely increase the yield several times compared with the wasteland harvest in previous years.

Grandpa, they first cut off a handful of wheat with a sickle, and then divided it into two sections and tied it into a belt, commonly known as "beating the waist". That is, the wheat is divided into two bundles, tied in a knot and placed on the ground. When the wheat has accumulated into a bundle, it is placed in the waist, and then the 'kidney' is rotated tightly by hand to form a bundle of wheat with a radius of about 12 cm.

Grandpa and Uncle Li cut the wheat very quickly, and Yang Yun and Aunt Li were responsible for following them and helping them bundle the wheat into a big bundle. Dabao and Yang Yong also joined the ranks of cutting wheat, and Xiaobao and Yang Xuan followed Yang Yong and helped them bundle wheat, but Yang Xuan's kid was purely soy sauce.

Yang Yun and the others cut the wheat bundles, in ten bundles as a unit, to form a conical head with the head of the head facing up and the tail of the rod facing down, and then on the conical wheat bundle pile, wearing a hat with the head of the ear down and the tail of the rod facing up, the hat is not only a decoration, but more importantly, it plays a role in sheltering from rain and moisture. Yang Yun looked at the wheat piles lined up one by one, like rows of soldiers ready to go, seeing such a beautiful scenery, Yang Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart, there will always be a reward for paying, and farmers are actually very hard.

After harvesting an acre of wheat, Yang Yun pulled the wheat bales to the village threshing floor, and a few cattle in the village are now rented to the people of the village, and everyone will wait in line to use the cattle to pull the mills and grind the wheat grains from the ears of wheat. After the wheat grains are milled, they must be pulled to the drying field to be turned over, and there is a special drying field in the village. Because the Yang family and the Li family were the first to harvest wheat, no one would compete to grind the wheat.

It took Yang Yun and the others fourteen days to finish harvesting and grinding the wheat, which would dry the wheat grains of the two families' twelve acres of land on the drying field. In two days, the wheat kernels will be ready for storage at home. After the wheat grains were dried, the grandfather and the grandfather brought the wheat grains home for storage, and the two families weighed the wheat grains coarsely at home, and one acre of wasteland could produce about four stones of wheat.

Yang Yun knew that one stone was almost equal to about 60 kilograms in the Song Dynasty, and it was normal for an acre of wasteland to produce more than 200 kilograms of wheat, and as far as Yang Yun knew, the yield of wheat in an acre of land in modern times could reach about 500 to 600 catties. So these more than 200 kilograms of wheat are actually nothing, but Grandpa and Uncle Li looked at the wheat yield of their own wasteland, and cried with joy, they have planted the land for so many years, and in the past, one acre of wasteland could harvest about three stones, which is already considered a high yield. Under normal circumstances, there are only about two stones, and it is precisely because the grain production of Haoguo is too low, and the price of grain has been high, which can make the people of Haoguo suffer.

"In fact, this yield is really nothing, as long as we plant the land more maturely, fatten the land more, and choose some healthy seeds, maybe the wheat yield of one acre of wasteland can reach five or six stones or more in the future."

"Yun girl, what you said is true." Uncle Li and Grandpa were shocked when they heard Yang Yun report such a figure, one acre of land can produce four stones of grain, they are already very happy, if one acre of land can really produce five or six stones in the future, then the family will no longer have to starve.

"When have I lied to everyone, as long as everyone farms well, this high yield is no longer a dream."

"I believe in Yun Yatou, we just listened to Yun Yatou's words, digging pits and making fertilizer, so that our wasteland fertilizer is sufficient, and now such a high yield of wheat is the credit of Yun Yatou." Uncle Li felt that listening to Yang Yun's words was really the most correct choice.

"But no, this girl has a lot of ideas, our wasteland does not need to pay taxes for three years, let's farm well in the past few years, and we don't have to worry about not being able to feed the children in the future." Grandpa is very emotional about his family's previous poor days, and the old days are gone.

"Yes, my family used to be very poor, and I was always afraid that the children would not even be able to eat porridge, but now that the wasteland can have such a high yield, are you afraid that the children will be hungry?" The wheat itself was all in the cellar, Uncle Li and Grandpa were sitting in the yard, chatting about the old days, Yang Yun shook her head helplessly, maybe everyone was poor and afraid in the previous days. Now that I can harvest so much grain, I must have a lot of taste in my heart. (To be continued.) )
