Chapter 257: Harvesting Rice
As soon as it was dawn, Chu Jiaqiang and the others got up. He and his second uncle and aunt first got the supply of ingredients for the hotel, and the Chu family grabbed aquatic products, while the second uncle and second aunt collected the vegetables.
The vegetables were sold three days ago, and the price remained between one and two pieces, which greatly encouraged the villagers' enthusiasm for growing vegetables. The yield of tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, loofahs, beans and so on is very high. Take Chinese cabbage, for example! One acre of land is conservatively estimated to earn two or three thousand. If you plough the fields, you can earn more than 500 and laugh.
Those chickens follow the second uncle and aunt, and when they collect vegetables, they can eat some useless vegetable leaves, and if they are lucky, they can catch insects that steal vegetables. And those ducks are mixed with Chu Jiaqiang, after all, Chu Jiaqiang is on the waterway, which is very suitable for them.
After breakfast, Chapter 257 Harvesting Rice Ye Caiping came down to the village. This is also what her mother asked her to come down to help, and she knows that Chu Jiaqiang is short of manpower here.
"You're here just in time, I'm so busy that my head is dark." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
Ye Caiping glanced at him, in fact, she didn't have time to help Chu Jiaqiang do drum drifting these days. This time, Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Jisheng jointly ventured 2 million, which is an important investment for Heqian Town, and the town also attaches great importance to it.
"Don't shout, you'll be busier later." Ye Caiping said. The development of rafting projects and the development of mineral water have been put on the agenda, and these Chu Jiaqiang have all shares, even if they don't need him to manage them, but you have to pay attention to them more or less, right? What's more, their wedding date is coming soon.
As the saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!" ”。 The second aunt sharpened a few sickles and was about to set off. The second aunt went to the farmland to harvest. The second uncle went to carry the thresher over.
The little squirrel is also on holiday today and did not go into the mountains. Following Chu Jiaqiang and the others to act together, Brother Wren, Xiaojin, Red Panda, etc. also joined in the fun, and many people noticed this strange combination and looked at it for a while.
The paddy fields are golden yellow, and the grains are strong and the ears are full. I knew that it was Chapter 257 and a bumper harvest year for harvesting rice. The rats and others were waiting for the opportunity to secretly cut some ears of rice short, and then moved them back to their nests for winter use. These thieves are quite capable. Picking the best to start, many farmers hate it.
"It's been a long time since I've experienced life like this, and it feels so good." Wan Lao cut a few handfuls of seedlings and sighed.
"It's not fun!" Soon Zhou Furong couldn't get along, he felt very boring work, and he was quite tired. The fat man is afraid to bend over, and it is really a great test for him to bend over and work endlessly.
"Then you can help with threshing!" Chu Jiaqiang is not reluctant. And Chen Wu and Li Quan also threatened to use machines, maybe for them, that is a fun job. Wan Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Secret way: Now young people's hearts are impetuous.
Chu Jiaqiang asked everyone to be careful, those grass leaves, like mango leaves, will also cut people. And they have villi on their surface, which can cause allergies to some people's skin. This is also the reason why Chu Jiaqiang suggested that everyone wear long sleeves, but Zhou Furong and they are afraid of the heat, not only wearing a pair of short sleeves, but also a pair of middle pants on the lower body, and they will soon feel better.
In fact, there is another reason, there are many insects in the rice fields that will bite people. It's a fight with mosquitoes.
Xiaojin, a big bamboo rat, basked in the sun when he came to the field, and he didn't want to contribute at all. The little squirrel is better, picking up the ears of rice left behind the rice field. Brother Wren is a troublemaker, flying around, talking nonsense, and chasing and beating some of his favorite insects on the rice field. The red panda didn't move at first, but everyone soon noticed that the little guy was scurrying around inside.
"Oops! The kitten catches a big mouse! Ye Caiping suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked over and found that the red panda had really caught a big mouse, not a pound and eight taels. But the little fellow did not eat it at once, but played, tossing the rat so that it was dizzy and embarrassed.
"Hey! The little guy is not small! Catch a few more, go back and stew them! Zhou Furong said. The taste of rat meat is no worse than that of field chicken, and the last time I ate a mountain mouse in Chu Jiaqiang, stewed with black beans, it is really an endless aftertaste.
"These rats often haunt places like pigsties, are you sure you want to eat them?" Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
Zhou Furong's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his head: "Then forget it." ”
The diesel engine thresher is really extraordinary, and four or five people can't catch up with its speed when they cut the grain together. You must know that Chu Jiaqiang and the second aunt are also very fast. Especially Chu Jiaqiang, the speed is that the second aunt, a peasant woman, is also frightened. This kid can be used as two laborers. If this is changed to normal times, they can cope with the threshing person by cutting alone.
Zhou Furong is a person who specializes in threshing, while Li Quan and Chen Wu make cameos from time to time, and they learned it after being taught by the second uncle for two minutes. In fact, there is no technology to speak of, just some matters to be paid attention to clearly. For example, don't put the straw too in, it will accidentally hurt your hand, or you can't catch it steadily, resulting in some straws involving the operation of the machine. Also, try to spread the ears of rice, otherwise the threshing will not be clean, and a lot of rice will remain on the straw, resulting in food waste.
The second uncle digs the grain behind the machine, puts it in a basket, and then picks it back to dry. This work is the hardest, one or two hundred catties of rice per load, and these farmers can bear it.
"One day might be enough." The second uncle said happily, the more he looked at this machine, the more he liked it, and secretly said that the twenty yuan an hour was worth the money! He didn't plough much land, so many people helped, plus a high-efficiency machine, the speed was so fast! These fields are not large, and one can be completed in twenty or thirty minutes.
And because this is the first agricultural machinery introduced by Chujiazhai put into use, many people came to watch the ceremony and sighed when they saw this speed. Some people have secretly made up their minds in their hearts, and it seems that they are ready to rent and rent.
Naturally, the owner of the machine was indispensable to the present, Chu Jiacheng was proud, and now the reaction of these people was also what he wanted to see. Soon, the time of this thresher was already scheduled. Chu Jiacheng thought in his heart, if he didn't get more than one back? There are still a lot of people who are disappointed just now! There is only one machine, and everyone is busy with farming for more than ten days, and the machine is far from being overloaded.
"Hey! You kid get some toilet water! After Chu Jiaqiang saw that Li Quan's bare arms and legs had been bitten by insects, he made them bag by one, and he caught them one by one, and in some places he caught blood.
"It's really strange, why is Chen Wu okay with this fat man?" Li Quan was extremely depressed.
In less than a day, Chu Shengmin's rice was harvested, creating a new record for Chujiazhai. And that machine has become a sweet spot, and many people beat its idea. (To be continued)RQ!!
