The scene of the large combine harvester harvesting the crops is very spectacular, only to see the harvester drive by, like a beast with a big mouth open, devouring the golden ears of rice in front of it. Bags of rice are automatically bagged, while the straw is directly crushed and sprayed out from behind, flying high and spreading a carpet of straw scrap behind the harvester.

When the harvester drove to the side of the road, everyone was busy moving bags of rice off the harvester.

In order to harvest, Laiwang invited five or six people. But unexpectedly, when it was time to harvest, all the old and young in the village ran over.

Jin Gui took a summer vacation and also went back to Zhaojiatun to accompany his grandparents.

"Uncle Laiwang, you just let me carry a bag. I've grown up, and I have strength. Jin Gui also squeezed to the side of the road, where the rice was stacked.

"Go, go, what are the children doing here?" Qian Shuigen squeezed Jin Gui aside, picked up a bag of rice and left.

Naturally, Laiwang would not invite Qian Shuigen and Zhao Sande to help harvest the grain. These two men came on their own. Naturally, they came to help with a purpose. After helping this time, Laiwang owed them a favor. The folks in this township, it's really hard to do anything with them when they come to Wang. At this time, they asked an old man in the village to go to Laiwang to intercede, and Laiwang was really too bad.

"Uncle Shuliang, why did they come here?" Laiwang asked.

"I didn't call them over. Many young people in Tunli have come back to grow vegetables, but they are not the only ones. A lot of people came here on their own today. Everyone has inherited your benefits. You need help right now, and who wouldn't be too embarrassed to do it? The people who came to help said that it was voluntary to help you today. I don't want you a penny. Everyone has miles in their hearts. If you come to Wang, everyone can benefit. Zhao Shuliang said.

"But these two people. I really don't want them to come. Laiwang said.

"Who wants them to come? Through these few events, everyone can see clearly. You look at the previous time. None of them were willing to intercede with the two of them, and none of them were willing to mix in their dishes. All of their dishes this season are sold on the street at a bad price. It is estimated that he will not even be able to earn back. Make them greedy. Don't be soft-hearted this time, whatever they say, don't let go easily, even if you agree in the end, you have to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, who will be convinced by the people in the village in the future? Zhao Shuliang said.

While the four children were carrying the bags, they were discussing the yield of the farm.

"Tell me, how much does this bag of grain weigh? Usually, a bag of such a big bag of millet is fifty catties. But today's grain, I always feel more than that? The fourth child moved the sack of grain on his shoulder. turned back to the sixth child and said.

"Well, you didn't look at how full the grain was. And this harvester is so cleanly separated. There is no grass residue at all. This millet just doesn't dry, and it won't spoil when you take it back and put it in the warehouse. This bag is only afraid of more than sixty catties. In the past, only the kind of millet grown with farm manure could support the burden. The sixth said.

"Do you estimate how many catties of millet can be beaten from this acre of land in Laiwang?" The fourth asked.

Zhang Kaiquan chased after him with a bag of rice, "I estimate that it can be at least one thousand two." ”

"It's also good to be able to go up to 1,002. After all, this is Nitta. And it's early rice. Not enough, I don't think it's enough. The harvester only harvested such a small piece, which looked less than five points of land. There are almost ten bags, counting sixty-five catties per bag, and the yield per mu is one thousand three or four. The fourth said.

"Then your fourth child's vision is problematic. It's right that this crop is well planted. It is still a little difficult to achieve such a high yield. I think it's about the same if you can have a thousand-one. Zhao Haiping said.

"Haiping. You're too beautiful. How much area do you think this piece is? The fourth brother pointed to the area that the harvester had just vacated and said.

"I guess there's about an acre of land." Zhao Haiping said.

"Then how many sacks of grain have you counted? The fourth brother pointed to the pile of millet and said.

Zhao Haiping counted it and was taken aback, there were twenty-three bags. Even if it is sixty catties per acre, this is 1,400 catties of millet. Zhao Haiping weighed the weight of the rice just now. Good guys, sink very much.

Haiping, do you want to make a bet? The fourth laughed.

"No, no, no. The yield of this millet is indeed not low. Zhao Haiping wiped the sweat on his head.

The fourth child loaded the millet into the car. Then he jumped down and ran back to the store and dragged the scales over.

"Let's see. What is this production? Sixth, you carry a bag of grain. Weigh it down, how much does this bag of millet weigh. It's not that accurate. The fourth shouted.

The sixth child really picked up a bag of millet and ran over.

Laiwang walked over. Hehe smiled, "What's the matter, how much does a bag weigh?" ”

"Laiwang, guess what. You can all guess. Whoever guesses the farthest will ask everyone to draw a bag of the blue suit Hibiscus King. The fourth said.

The blue-suited Hibiscus King is the most expensive cigarette in the fourth store, and a pack of thirty-five is worth it.

"Sixty-five pounds." Laiwang lifted a bag and weighed it.

"Seventy. At least seventy. Zhang Kaiquan said.

Zhao Shuliang walked over and weighed it, "I guess, how can there be sixty-seven catties." ”

"Uncle Shuliang, your guess is too lazy. You take a middle number, and no matter what the weight is, it won't be your turn to lose. The fourth laughed.

"No, no, you have to separate it a little bit, either the same number as them, or five apart. Otherwise, it doesn't count. The sixth child also coaxed.

"Fourth, why didn't you guess for yourself?" Zhao Shuliang asked.

"How could I not guess? Let you guess first, and then I'll announce the correct answer. Aren't I worried that you'll follow me in a minute? The fourth said.

"So, what about the sixth?" Zhao Shuliang asked.

"I guessed, at least sixty-five pounds." The sixth said.

"I guess seventy is only more, not less." After speaking, the fourth child put the millet on the scale, and then began to adjust the weight.

"Sixty, it's higher, turn it up a little more."

When the fourth child adjusted the weights, everyone turned their heads over.

"Sixty-five. Hey! It's still high, and then it's adjusted outside. Try it at seventy. ”

The fourth child increased by five catties at one time, but he didn't expect this to shake and immediately warp.

"Sure enough, it's more than seventy pounds. Well, balanced. Come and see for yourselves. See how much exactly. The fourth said.

Everyone came together, and when they saw it, the scale had stopped at thirty-six kilograms.

"Seventy-two pounds! This snakeskin bag can hold seventy-two pounds! The fourth said in surprise.

"Who guessed the least just now?" Zhao Shuliang asked.

"Who else? Come to Wangbei! Come to Wang, hurry up and take the king of hibiscus out to smoke. One pack is not enough, you have to get one. Others can have a pack, but if you are the boss and only take a pack of cigarettes, you will not be laughed at in the future. The fourth laughed.

"Fourth, do you have a Blue Hibiscus King there?" Laiwang asked.

"Yes, why not? Do you want it? I'll get it for you. The fourth said.

"Yes. How not. You bring your Blue Hibiscus King all here. Today, on the first day of harvesting grain, let's just try something new, and everyone celebrates together. Uncle Shuliang, you know this ritual, right? Lai Wang said with a smile.

[Try the new: local customs.] Every year, when the early rice harvest is about to be harvested, go to the field and select a few ears of rice. Peel it by hand and cook it with the aged rice. Worship is then made to the gods to pray for good weather and abundant harvests. 】

"Why don't you know? I used to do it every year. No one is doing this anymore. It's not easy to do this. Let Wanxing sing a paragraph and worship heaven and earth. Wait a minute, I'll let you go and prepare something. You also need to have a ritual to try something new. After all, the first year of harvesting so much grain, it is time to pay homage to the gods. Zhao Shuliang said.

Just do it, Zhao Shuliang immediately went to the front field to smoke a few ears of rice, and then called a few little children to peel the grain together.

"Don't you peel the new rice and put it in the mouth, right? Eat new rice without godliness, be careful of the gods to blame, let you grow a tail. Zhao Shuliang said.

"Grandpa, which one are you cheating. The teacher said that only monkeys have long tails. Humans evolved from monkeys and don't grow tails. "Jin Gui can't be fooled now.

"What do you teachers know? Grandpa ate more salt than he ate, and crossed the bridge longer than he walked, so naturally there were some things he didn't know, and grandpa only knew. Zhao Shuliang said.

"The teacher said that there are no immortals in the world at all, you are feudal superstition." Jin Gui was not bluffed by Zhao Shuliang.

Zhao Shuliang had nothing to say, "What are you doing with so much talk about peeling grain?" Be careful to cut you! ”

Zhao Shuliang peeled a handful of rice. When peeled off, this rice is not quite the same as ordinary early rice. When the normal early rice is peeled off, it will have a green skin. Such rice is generally called brown rice. It doesn't taste good, it's very rough. But it's very nutritious. Because in the epidermal layer contains a large amount of vitamins. However, when processing refined rice, this layer of skin is usually removed so that the rice appears crystal clear. But this early rice from Laiwang, after peeling it off, although it is also a layer of green skin on the outside, this green is very comfortable. A grain of rice is like a small grain of jade.

"Grandpa, why is this rice so beautiful?" Jin Gui said.

"It's brown rice. There is still a layer of skin on the outside that has not been removed. Zhao Shuliang said.

"Why do you want to get rid of it? Wouldn't it look better if you didn't remove it? Jin Gui said.

"If this layer of epidermis is not removed, the cooked rice will not be glutinous, and the rice will be very hard, so it will be difficult to eat. In the past, there were no rice rolling machines in the countryside, so I peeled the shell directly with a rolling machine and turned it into brown rice, which was really unpalatable. Zhao Shuliang seemed to remember something from a long time ago.

The fourth child brought cigarettes from home, and Laiwang took cigarettes, which was directly a pack for one person. It turns out that the smoke is not enough.

"I'm sorry today. There are not so many blue hibiscus here, there are still some in the farm, and those who haven't received cigarettes now will make up for it when they go to the farm to eat! Laiwang said. (To be continued......)
