As soon as the dew fell in the morning, even the corn harvesting team from Man'er's side had already arrived at the field. Zhang Qingshan received the news that the Zhang family had brought it over, leaving only the Li family to take a few children to watch the house. He himself took his eldest son Zhang Qingnian, eldest daughter-in-law Wang, eldest son Zhang Liunian, eldest son daughter-in-law Hu, and eldest granddaughter Zhang Caiyun arrived one night in advance.

The adult laborers of the Zhang family all came, and in addition to his own cart pulled by two big green mules, Zhang Qingshan also borrowed another big car.

Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, father and son, also drove a big car.

Then there are six members of Lian Man'er's family, three members of Lian Shouli's family, and the small ox cart of Lian Man'er's family.

"When the harvest is over, I have to discuss with your grandfather, and also help us buy two big green mules, and we will also change to a big car." Looking at the other three carts outside the 391st chapter of corn harvesting, Lian Shouxin was a little greedy, so he said to Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi who followed him.

This seems to be the first time that Lian Shouxin has taken the initiative to spend money on a large family property, and Lian Man'er can't help but smile.

The big guy didn't start work immediately, but stood on the ground and spoke. Lian Man'er turned his head to look at the official road from time to time, and Shen Liuhui's message said that he would send people over, and they had to wait for the people sent by Shen Liu's to come before they started to harvest corn.

"When will it be time?" Zhang Qingshan asked.

"I just said that it was a person, but I didn't say the time." Lian Shouxin replied.

Lian Man'er only set the date in the letter that people carried, but as for the hour, it was not easy to die. After all, Fucheng is not close to the camp of thirty miles, if according to the habits of their villagers, they go to work in the field early in the morning, then Shen Liu and them will come. You have to get up in the middle of the night, which has to be said to be the speed of fast cars and fast horses all the way.

For example, the last time Shen Liu came to see the sweet potatoes, he arrived before noon. That time, I heard Shen Xiaopang say that they should have set off from Fucheng in the second half of the night.

With Shen Liu's identity, family affairs, and official affairs. Not to mention the chances, that's pretty much it. At this hour, it must be according to his convenience.

The big guy is talking. I saw the smoke and dust billowing on the corn harvest in Chapter 391 of the official road, and a pair of horses of more than a dozen people galloped in the blink of an eye.

"It's coming, it's coming." The big guy couldn't help but shout.

When the horse team approached, it slowed down, and then turned down the path from the official road, and after a while, it was in front of them. Dismounted.

More than a dozen people were all sturdy young men in their twenties, dressed as military schools. A person came over first and greeted Lian Shouxin.

Only then did Lian Man'er recognize that this person was Shen Liu's confidant, and he had seen Shen Liu several times. has this Zhang Qianhu by his side.

“…… The sixth master has something to do, so he can't come today, so he sent us to help harvest the corn. ”

Zhang Qianhu relayed Shen Liu's instructions, saying that Shen Liu suddenly had something and couldn't get out, and he had to wait five days later, when Shen Liu was threshing corn, to have time to come over.

Lian Man'er thought about it and thought it would be good. Shen Liu wants to come, but because he is concerned about whether the yield per mu of corn is as high as her budget, and now he is harvesting corn. The exact number is not yet available, and it is more convenient to weigh the corn kernels when they are beaten.

And let Zhang Qianhu bring people to help harvest corn, this arrangement is also very intentional. At once, there were more than a dozen strong laborers, and it was expected to be completed in a few days. It is estimated that it will be completed in one day.

Zhang Qianhu also said that he didn't understand how to harvest corn, and everything was under the orders of Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er.

Shen Liu sent strong labor, and even Man'er didn't intend to be polite, she divided all the people into four groups, and the people in the first group were responsible for splitting corn. Each of these men took a sack in his hand and walked down the ditch, and one of them was responsible for the two ridges, and the cob of corn from each corn was chopped off and put into the bag.

When the corn in the bag could no longer be handled, they poured all the corn in one place and handed it over to the next group of people to dispose of.

The second group does not have to walk with the ridges, they are responsible for handling the corn cobs that the first group has chopped. That is, the corn husk is stripped off, leaving only the bare corn cob. Then, these light corn cobs are simply classified, that is, the corn cobs that are in good condition are separated from those that are not in good condition, such as the corn kernels are not full, or the corn cobs are small, and then bagged and handed over to the third group.

The third group was responsible for driving the cart and transporting the bagged bare corn cobs to the threshing floor of the Lian family.

There is also a fourth group of people who inspect and harvest the corn stalks that have been split up on the cobs.

Because of the large number of laborers and the very reasonable division of labor and cooperation, the corn harvest speed is very fast.

Lian Man'er followed the first batch of corn trucks to his threshing floor, and this cart was loaded with two bundles of corn stalks in addition to corn cobs.

When he arrived at the threshing floor, Lian Man'er stopped Lian Shouxin and did not let him unload the corn first, but unloaded two bundles of corn stalks. This corn stalk is the thickest and sturdiest one picked in the ground just now, and the leaves are all clean, and there is only a bare rod left.

"Dad, we have to find two thick hemp ropes." Lian Man'er kept faith in Lian.

"Man'er, what are you going to do?" Even Shouxin asked.

"Dad, this corn cob is wet, we have to dry it. Just casually spread it underground, taking up space, and drying slowly. Let's use this corn stalk to wrap a corn fence out, and it will be dried quickly. Lian Man'er said.

This was the method she used to see people drying corn in her previous life.

"That's right." Lian Shouxin is an old cropper, and he understands everything, and when he heard Lian Man'er say this, he understood.

Soon, Lian Shouxin found two thick hemp ropes, and together with Zhang Qingnian and Zhang Liunian, they used hemp ropes to weave corn stalks one by one. It's like weaving a rainproof curtain from sorghum straw, but in the end, the two ends are firmly connected together to form a cylindrical shape, and when it is erected, it is a corn grid.

Then pour the corn cobs into the grid, taking care to stack them evenly so that the grid does not fall over. In this way, the corn cob is in contact with the air and can be dried in a shorter time.

Corn in good condition and corn in poor quality are also separated to dry.

Lian Man'er has her plan in her heart, and her family's corn must be sold. If the quality is good, it can be used as corn seeds, and if the quality is different, she does not plan to sell it, but plans to keep it for her own food.

When the third corn fence was erected, people from Jinyang County and Liaodong Prefecture also arrived. Among them, Lian Man'er knew Master Li who came last time, as well as the magistrate of Jinyang County.

These people watched the process of harvesting the corn, and the little clerk took a pen and paper and quickly recorded something.

About 20 acres of corn were harvested in just one morning, and Zhang Qianhu also led people to help harvest most of the sorghum and millet of Man'er's family.

Looking at the neat corn fences, sorghum stacks, millet stacks, corn stalks, sorghum straws and millet straws stamped on the threshing floor, Lian Man'er couldn't help but sigh, it is really a lot of power.

Zhang and Lian Zhi'er came back from the field one step earlier, Wu Yugui brought a letter to the family, and Wang brought Wu Jiayu to help cook.

They are all strong laborers, and they do physical work, and for lunch, even Man'er's family prepared them very richly and affordably. They prepared a total of four tables of meals, and on each table prepared a large pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, vermicelli, tofu stewed carp, roast goose, and sauce elbow. In addition, five stir-fried dishes and four cold dishes are prepared. The main dish is white rice and white flour steamed buns.

At the end of the afternoon, when Zhang Qianhu was invited to dinner, there was a little problem.

"The military order is like a mountain, the sixth master commanded, go back as soon as you finish your work, and don't disturb the place." Zhang Qianhu refused to come to dinner, saying that he would go back to his life immediately.

Zhang Qianhu said that the military order is like a mountain, and it is difficult for Lian to keep his word. If Zhang Qianhu didn't leave these people to eat a meal, he couldn't help it. But to let Zhang Qianhu violate the military order, this is also what he is unwilling.

In front of the Lian family, Zhang Qianhu always called Shen Liu the sixth master. Now that the military order is like a mountain, Zhang Qianhu still calls the sixth master. Lian Man'er blinked, does this mean that in public and private, Zhang Qianhu is Shen Liu's henchman. Moreover, this place that can't be bothered, in fact, there is still room for negotiation?

"Lord Qianhu, isn't there a saying that before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first? He also said that the emperor's family was not short of hungry soldiers. It's time to eat, and the sixth master won't let you eat, right? Lian Man'er said with a smile.

When Zhang Qianhu heard Lian Man'er say this, he couldn't help but laugh, and the soldiers behind him also laughed.

"This little girl speaks in a way."

"There is no special preparation, just home-cooked meals. Our Zhuang family, helping people, is this exquisite, you have to eat, or you look down on the master's family. Lian Man'er continued, "Lord Qianhu, just now you said that the sixth master's orders, when you get here, everything is at our disposal. ”

"Then listen to Miss Lian's orders." Zhang Qianhu hugged his fist at Lian Man'er and said with a smile.

The banquet is arranged in the shop, the place is spacious, and everything should be complete. Lian Shouxin also brought wine over, but was stopped by Zhang Qianhu.

"You can eat food, but you can't drink wine." Zhang Qianhu's attitude this time was very resolute.

Even Shouxin knew that they did have military discipline, and a group of people rode back drunk and drunk, so they didn't like it, so they just gave up.

After eating, Zhang Qianhu didn't leave immediately, and followed Lian Shouxin and them to the field, helped collect peanuts, soybeans, etc., and agreed with Lian Man'er on the time to beat corn before leaving.

After five days, the corn should be dried to the point where it can be threhed, and the yield is just right.

Zhang Qianhu left, and even Man'er, a member of the family, worked in the field for a while, and in the evening, he also finished his work.

There are a total of fifty-one acres of land, if Lian Man'er's family collects it by himself, I am afraid that it will take six or seven days to collect, even if there is Lian Shouli's family, Wu family and Zhang Qingshan's family to help, then it will have to be collected for two or three days, because Zhang Qianhu brought these dozen strong laborers, only this day's work, will be finished.

The expected backache and leg pain and blistering of hands and feet for the harvest did not appear, and even Man'er stood on the threshing floor flutteringly, and made up her mind.

You need to make a lot of money, you need to hire workers, and you have to be a small landlord who is out of production...... Send one watch first, and there will be two changes in the evening.

Congratulations to Basket Bulan for becoming the first hall master of "Reborn Little Landlord", and also the first hall master since Weak Yan wrote a few books. (To be continued)RQ!!
