Cutting rice does not mean doing it with your hands, you must first make essential preparations.

In Wei Lang's suspicious gaze, a black-faced man came over with a large plate of blood.

Although Wei Lang didn't know what this was for, he saw that the villagers around him were accustomed to it, and he didn't pretend to be forced quietly. Don't talk when you don't understand, so that others will only think that you are noncommittal when they look at your noble and cold face, rather than not understanding anything.

I saw another black-faced man pouring out the contents of the big basket at his feet, and the cages the size of sea bowls made of thin bamboo silk fell to the ground. Wei Lang nodded secretly, he knew this, the gnats cage~ He doesn't play with insects, but he has seen this thing in other brothers. Although the hole in this cage is a little bigger.

However, what are you doing with some gnatfish cages for a good autumn harvest, do you want to catch the iron general in the field first?

When Wei Lang was still in his mind, he saw several women come forward, open the small door of the small cage, and began to pour blood inside. Wei Lang took a few steps forward only to find that there was a palm-sized bamboo cup in the cage, and the blood was poured right into the cup. Filled with blood, several women carried cages and scattered them around the rice paddies and on the ridges of the fields above the water.

"What is this?" Wei Lang saw that everyone in Dujia Village was waiting quietly, pretending that he couldn't go on.

The original commentator, the seventh grandfather, probably saw the county grandfather, and was so excited to think of the benefits that the Du family could get in this matter, his heart beat non-stop, and he went back to the house to rest with his heart, and the narrator was replaced by the third grandfather.

The third grandfather said with a smile: "The fish in the field have not grown up yet, the water has been staying, there are leeches in the water, this thing sucks human blood and has to catch them first." Saying that, the third grandfather motioned for Wei Lang to sit aside and wait for a while, and then said: "There is a hole in the cage, and the leeches will not be able to come out when they are full of blood and fat." We won't be sucked blood when we go to the field. ”

For the common people, the vampire of the leech is an extremely terrible thing, and the goblin that sucks the blood of the human spirit in the painting book has a fight, before this method appeared, there are still people because the leech drilled into the flesh and always felt that something was crawling in their body, and they were scared to death. Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned men in the village are extremely disgusted with leeches.

Wei Lang didn't know what a leech was, and when he heard that this thing sucked blood, he took two steps forward with great interest to see how to catch leeches, and when he returned to Beijing in the future, he could also show off his knowledge with his good buddy Emperor Xià.

The small cage was placed in the field, and a faint smell of blood wafted out, and after a few minutes, some black slimy insects slowly crawled into the cage from the water and dirt.

Wei Lang saw leeches for the first time, and his heart was hairy, especially the third grandfather in order to emphasize the horror of leeches, specially said a few horror examples, what ran into the body, can suck up all the blood of rabbits, and what is even more terrifying is that I heard that leeches in some places will reproduce when they enter the meat, and their children and grandchildren will be endless, until they suck up the blood alive.

The villain in Wei Lang's heart held his little liver and took a few steps back quietly.

In order to hide his fear, Wei Lang turned his head to look at Li Zheng and said with a studious expression: "Fish are also living creatures, don't leeches suck the blood of fish?" ”

The third grandfather thinks that the county magistrate will really be disappointed, our focus is on increasing rice production, not fish?

"Fish have scales in the way, and leeches can't suck their blood. However, the people in the village observed for a few months, and found that leeches sometimes still enter the stomach of the fish through their mouths, and later found that the existing fish were fine, and some of the fish died. ”

Wei Lang suddenly realized and exclaimed: "What a lot to do!" ”

The third grandfather worked hard to popularize science, and the leeches in the field were almost caught. Several big men picked up the cages one by one, carefully opened the cages, and poured all the fat leeches inside into the steaming boiling water on the side.

Wei Lang was dumbfounded, and his heart was furious, this thing has to be rolled and scalded for hair, do you want to eat it? Don't!

"The leech dies as soon as the hot water is hot, and after it is dried, it is sold to a medicinal herb shop, and it can get more than a dozen wen per catty!" The third grandfather continued to popularize science.

Wei Lang snorted dryly and praised: "Not bad, not bad, it's another income." ”

The annoying leeches are gone, and the autumn harvest has officially begun.

The men and women of Dujia Village stared at Wei Lang with bright eyes...... The scythe in the hand.

Wei Lang was a little nervous.

Flying wantonly, the little prince of the Hou Mansion who stepped on the horse in Kyoto, he has never cut rice!

It's the first time I've done such a technical job in front of so many people, and I'm really nervous!

Du Changqing took the sickle and compared the action of cutting rice in the air, Wei Lang understood, and finally cut a handful of rice from the ground after cutting several times.

The complacent county magistrate didn't notice that the village flowers who were still drooling at him just now had a bright dislike in their eyes.

A big man, two rice sticks have to be divided several times before they can be cut, his hands are weak, his waist is weak, and he can be happy with such a man.

Without waiting for Wei Lang to announce the start of an autumn harvest, the villagers who couldn't wait to collect the grain into the warehouse began to harvest one by one with their sickles.

Because Du Jingtao's few acres of land were reported as typical yields, Li Zheng directly arranged nearly 100 laborers for them to harvest the rice quickly.

The fields were in full swing, and after the Du family was in a panic, they also sent the newly dressed Du Xiaoxi to the county order.

Daddy Du was waiting for Li Zheng to help cut the rice with an order, and when he heard that the county order wanted to see his baby girl, he immediately threw the sickle and ran home to bring his daughter over.

Father Du took his daughter's hand and walked to the county order not far to kneel, and Du Xiaoxi also knelt down obediently, cursing this evil feudal society in his heart. I'm a child, kneel and kneel, just pay New Year's greetings to the village's Ermazi uncle, you are a twenty or thirty-year-old person is embarrassed to let my father kneel for you, and you are not afraid of losing your life.

Du Xiaoxi's resentment was very useful, and at the same time that Daddy Du knelt down, the county order took a few quick steps to make the strength of breastfeeding finally drag Daddy Du's sinking body.

"No need to kneel!" Wei Lang absentmindedly chatted with Father Du for a few words, how many children in the family, how is life, whether they need help, etc., and turned the conversation to Du Xiaoxi.

"This is the master disciple of the Joy Master, right?"

Du Xiaoxi put on a well-behaved and pleasing smile at the right time.

Wei Lang patted the two small bags on Du Xiaoxi's head with a smile, and pulled the baby's palm-sized jade pendant hanging from his waist into Du Xiaoxi's hand, "I came here suddenly, let's make a meeting gift for the little girl!" ”

Although Daddy Du is a pig killer, but he has been mixed in the county for more than ten years, a piece of jade pendant can still be seen, seeing that the jade pendant in his daughter's hand is crystal white, the texture is delicate and moisturizing, and it is a few points whiter than his own solidified lard, so he knows that this jade is definitely a good thing, and immediately excused himself: "This is too valuable, how can her child's family want such a valuable thing, adult, you can take it back." ”

Du Xiaoxi touched the white jade that was more delicate than his own lard but couldn't feel greasy, and smacked in his heart, this can't be the legendary mutton fat white jade, right?

Wei Lang raised his neck, what a joke, the things sent by the master really didn't come back.

"The official and the master are good friends, and the master's apprentice is naturally the niece of the official, what is the excuse for the niece's meeting gift!"
