"In February, the second dragon raised its head, and everyone made small households plough cattle", and the light rain sprinkled on the small village of Shenhe Bay in the early morning. The spring rain is as expensive as oil, a spring rain on the second day of February heralds a good harvest of the year, the warm spring breeze from the south finally blows on the vast fields of the Loess Plateau, the plan of the day lies in the morning, the sound of dogs barking in the drizzle breaks the silence of the village, and flocks of sparrows fly around among the soft willow branches.

Xiao Zheng and a group of villagers stood on the ground, and the more than ten acres of land left by the master were cultivated and harvested by the villagers every year. The kindness is so great, except that he has the strength to help Mr. farm, there is no better way to repay him, Xiao Zheng heard Jin'er say this, and the people in the village did it according to the old rules.

The white-haired Wang Quan was very excited today, and the farmers in the village waved their newly made shovels and scattered piles of cow dung on the flat fields. His youngest son led the rhubarb, and walked with his hand steady on the wooden handle of the iron plow, and behind the turned dirt were strings of neat footprints, and there was no need to look closely at the furrows that were ploughed in a straight line, and he was indeed an expert in farming.

"Moo--", the empty field came from the cry of a flower, another old style in the soft and flat field after ploughing slightly bent the upper body, holding the two handles of the columb, rhythmically shaking the cocoon, the hopper in the car is filled with selected grains, Ah Hua is now pregnant with cubs, the villagers are reluctant to let it do heavy work, only let it pull the cocoon forward, the old style seems to compare with Wang Quan's farming skills, with a feeling and consciousness in stride, The furrows with the blades of the cocoon are also straight lines, and the onlookers cheered for a while, and the seeds were sown, and several farmers took iron rakes to smooth the mirror-like surface of the ground.

The slightly cold breeze blew gently, the air was filled with a fragrance of earth wrapped in the fragrance of grass and trees, and the mountains were exposed to a piece of goose yellow light green in the distance.

Zhou Bingrui, the owner of Zhouji Silk Cloth Village in Yushan County, is now busy with the turnaround, there are few people in the shop that sells cloth, but there are many people in the ironware shop, and the guys in the cloth village are transferred early in the morning, or very busy, a new iron plough is twenty times, and the cocoon car is sold to an astonishing 30 times, there are not many people who ask about the large plough and the cocoon car, after all, the family does not have a few hundred acres of land and can not afford to sell it, and the owner must agree to make a decision to use so much money, the plow and the cocoon car have long been ordered, just waiting for people to move the goods, Now it is placed in the store to attract business.

Small-scale farmers can't afford to buy plows and carts for large farm tools, so it's okay to buy small ones. When I asked the price, the shovel and pickaxe were 300 wen, and the hoe and iron rake were 500 wen. Boss Zhou greeted every guest who entered the store with some guys with a smile on his face, and he shouted shortly, let you say so, you will not reduce the price.

The black-hearted shop, who kept cursing the boss for his black heart, knew that God should have told him to be paralyzed in bed for a few more years. I scolded and scolded in my heart, yesterday I went to work in the field, and saw the neighbor next door Lao Wang's family waving the newly bought new farm tools in the field, plowing the ground, picking picks and shovels quickly, looking at my own side of the people holding a broken rake, the family tossed and tossed for a long time before digging a few points of land, tired that the waist could not stand up, when I looked up to see the old Wang's house an acre and a half of land were loosened, before leaving, I also took time to chat with myself, where is this chat, this is a naked show-off!

I couldn't stand the blow of my mother-in-law and my family, gritted my teeth and took the money to the Zhou family's blacksmith shop, and saw that the crowds were crowded and there was a queue, and the guy saw the smile on the face of the customer, and explained that what is now sold is still last year's inventory, and after selling this batch, I don't know when the next batch will be available, and I have to buy it as soon as possible.

There are also other blacksmith shops in the county looking greedy, wanting to take a hitchhike to make a small fortune, according to the appearance of Zhouji ironware shop farm tools like a simulation of a few hoes and shovels, some greedy and cheap to buy, to the field with less than a day of pickaxe breaking, carrying the broken head to theorize, the seller said that the Zhou family sells 500 Wen, mine is only 200, this thing is cheap and that's it. Merchants who have the heart and lack of morality have a good theory, but the agricultural time does not wait for anyone, and the countrymen are honest and too lazy to go to the officials for this matter, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Carrying the broken farm tools broken in half came to Zhou's house again, and when he met the same village, he inevitably scolded a few words about the blacksmith shop that lacked virtue immediately, but was heard by Boss Zhou's men and said to everyone that it doesn't matter if you buy inferior farm tools from other shops, you can sell the broken things to Zhou Ji blacksmith shop at a discount, and those who don't want money can top the price.

Before everyone had time to thank them, they saw Boss Zhou say to everyone that in the future, as long as it was sold by the Zhou family, no matter how long it was used, it would be repaired at any time if it was broken, and the crowd cheered all of a sudden. Some people asked how do you know that this farm tool belongs to yours, and a person who bought a hoe next to him pointed to the small copper mark on the face of the hoe and said that this is the sign of Zhouji blacksmith shop, it doesn't matter if you don't know the words, you just need to remember the three square words in the steel seal on the top.

Look at the people of the Zhou family are doing business to the hearts of the people, one by one bought new farm tools and happily went home, the next morning to the field to plow the speed is a few points faster than others, watching the neighbors with burning sticks like a plow digging hard, I also enjoy the pleasure of being envied by others. I put the hoe in my room when I sleep at night, for fear of being stolen by the thief, and I want to borrow it? There are no doors! Buy it yourself.

Twenty miles south of Yushan County, in Lijiabao, Duan Zhixuan, under the account of King Qin, has 300 acres of land in this village, which is a reward for his military exploits since the imperial court has been fighting for many years. My family lives in Daxingcheng, and I didn't have time to take care of it, so I handed it over to my aunt and cousin to take care of. Duan Zhixuan came to Lijiabao early this morning, first, he came to see the situation in Zhuangzi, and secondly, he also came to see his aunt, and after entering the door to see his aunt, he asked his cousin to buy farm tools, and he chatted with his aunt in the hall.

At noon there was a commotion outside, and his cousin, led a dozen tenant farmers, happily came in from outside, and the tenants came to salute their masters. Duan Zhixuan walked over and saw a bunch of newly bought farm tools on the car, but he didn't know how to use some farm tools at all, so he asked his cousin what farm tools he had never seen, and saw that his cousin happily took out a shovel and handed it to Duan Zhixian and said: "Cousin, you see this is called a shovel, and it is very fast to turn up the ground than a plow, these are two large pieces of plough and cocoon, which are much better than the original broken houses in our family."

Duan Zhixian picked up the shovel and looked it up and down, only to see that the shovel handle was polished and smooth, and in order to prevent there from being wooden, he couldn't help but nodded, took the shovel and walked to a vacant place under the big tree, and thrust it downward, only to hear a soft sound, half of the shovel head went into the soil, and gently moved the wooden handle, and a large piece of soil was pulled out of the ground. "How? Cousin, I said it's easy to use", "good family", Duan Zhixuan praised.

Seeing that he was praised by Duan Zhixuan, his cousin was even more energetic, and asked people to move the plow and the cocoon cart off the car and said: "Cousin, you see this is a new type of plow and cocoon cart, if the people who change the ox and not the plow do not stop, this day can plow one hectare of land, and the one hundred and ten people do not do as much as this guy turns over the ground in a day, and this building car, some people have tried a maximum of five hectares a day, and the seeds sown are still fruitful." The plough turned over the soil is still noisy, these farm tools to buy back our family this year's harvest has hope, now the entire Yushan County to grab these farm tools are crazy, this plough and the car is still I entrusted the relationship to find the shop Zhou boss bought, ordinary people can't buy it now."

At this time, the head of the tenant standing next to Duan Zhixuan said to his owner: "Master, these farm tools are a great treasure for the croppers. With these farm tools, the little old man doesn't dare to say anything else, at least let our family's harvest this year be one percent more, if it catches up with the wind and rain, it is three percent, and it is also certain."

Lao Duan knows that the head of the tenant is a sincere person who never brags, and what he says is credible. Tenant farmers also count on these farm tools to play a role and hope for a good harvest, because only when there is more grain can the tenant farmers live a better life.
