Chapter 117: A Harvest

"Don't hold it hard, otherwise you will be injured by the recoil of the crossbow arrow, calm down, adjust your breathing, archery is a stable word first!"

Yu Zhou's hand crossbow has no extra devices, hanging the string is still more difficult, the little girl is beyond the strength, can only let him help hang it and then use it, interest is the best teacher, the two of them made rapid progress, and they mastered it in a few days.

After correcting the problem of liking to use crossbow arrows to make random comparisons, Yu Zhou also let them play around.

The child's personality has not yet taken shape, there is a lot of room for plasticity, for more than a year, Xiang Ran has been crazy with Yueyue, obviously cheerful and a lot, and he is no longer the tearful appearance in Mrs. Xiang's arms.

Especially when she was aiming into the distance with a crossbow in her hand, the excitement in her eyes was particularly smart.

"Let's go, let's go back, the wheat in the field is ripe, Uncle Cao and Uncle Song can't be busy, hurry up and harvest and plant some mung beans."

As soon as she heard that she was going back, the little girl was suddenly sullen, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang the soy sauce bottle.

"Don't be upset, you can continue to hold the crossbow, but don't face anyone!"

Knowing why they were unhappy, Yu Zhou simply relaxed.

"I know, my brother is really verbose."

At this time, one acre of land is much smaller than that of later generations, and in addition, it is completely dependent on the harvest of the sky, and a family of five can serve a hundred acres of land, and it can just be hungry.

However, the fields on the mountains are laborious, and Lao Cao and his family only have 80 acres of fertile land, half of the paddy fields and half of the dry fields, and the rice in the paddy fields has just been planted, and the wheat in the dry fields is almost ripe.

There are not many fields, and it stands to reason that a few people can take care of it, but a few people are simply not there, such as the Han blacksmith who is smelting copper outside, and the old man Wei who is erviant; Second, Yu Zhou's several ideas made the amount of labor increase greatly compared to watching the sky and eating.

In Cao's eyes, this is a completely bad idea.

"Yu Wa'er, come on, I'm too busy with your Brother Dajiang!"

Yu Zhou took a sickle, bent over and got busy, the people take food as the sky, not to mention that everyone lives in the mountains and must be self-sufficient.

"Why didn't you see Uncle Song, how busy are you and Brother Dajiang?"

"Don't mention it, your master came back in the morning, and they went out without knowing what they muttered."

Hey? What can Old Man Wei do to find Song Zhi?

Wiping a handful of Han water on his forehead, Cao Leather Craftsman complained: "I said baby, these iron sickles like the ones you made are quite sharp, which is very beneficial, so what kind of Quyuan plough and cart rice horse, your Uncle Song is also full of praise, saying that the work is much lighter, but this killing of snails is to find guilt for yourself, right?" ”

"Uncle Cao, don't look down on this little thing, some farmers get a big belly disease, the snail is the bane, that disease is actually a kind of insect parasitic in the human body, called schistosomiasis, which eats human flesh and blood, and the larvae are born in the snail, I am all for the good of everyone."

On a hot day, the cobbler shivered, it was too scary, the worms that ate human blood, no wonder the neighbors who had big bellies didn't take long to die.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, it's too crazy, I'll listen to you."

The old leatherman turned his head and yelled at Da Jiang: "Did you hear it, don't say that your father and I are doing this more in the future, this is all the skills that Yu Wa'er learned from the old fairy, after cutting this stubble, you go and tell everyone in the village that snails cost people's lives, and no one is allowed to be lazy!" ”

The neighbors outside are headed by Han Blacksmith, and the villagers in the mountains are respected by Old Man Wei, and the small village does not need a village chief, but the whole village is faintly looking at Yu Zhou's family, as for Chen Ying, everyone has long been accustomed to his function of transmitting microphones.

Wei Lao is high and has great ability, that is, he will become an immortal in the future, and in this acre and three points of land, what he said is already a bit like a decree.

Needless to say, the harm of schistosomiasis is needless to say, this infectious disease that was not completely eradicated until after liberation was a killer in the primitive Warring States, Yu Zhou is not omnipotent, it is impossible to cover everything, and he can only protect his relatives as much as possible in the places he wants.

Just like when he sees a snail, he thinks of elimination, and when he sees a wound, he thinks of disinfection, in the past, there were only a small number of people who needed his attention, but now this range is slowly increasing.

The little girls are carefree, if Yu Zhou is an ordinary child born in the next life, he also wants to accompany his sister to go into the water to fish and dig birds on the trees, and the pressure of primitive life has to make him face farm work early, and he can only eat more food with a handful of sweat.

The old leatherman's mouth was never idle, and the words he said were also mixed, which made people cry and laugh.

"Carpenter Song of the dog day, don't leave early or late, and run out to wave when there is a shortage of people, when will this be finished."

"Yu Wa'er, your method is really good, with the Quyuan plow, you can plough the ground deeply, and fertilizer is good, this year's harvest is good, there must be two stones of grain per acre, right?"

"Damn, carpenter, donkey day, if you don't help him get a granary for the harvest, it's okay to go, where to put it, it will rain soon, if it is damp and mildew, I will feed him all!"

"Uncle Cao, moldy grain is poisonous ......"

"Poison him! Look at our tiredness, you still help that guy talk......"

Panting like a bellows, he still couldn't stop Lao Cao's poisonous mouth, Yu Zhou decided not to answer, several old men are like this.

The scene of two lame men and a child harvesting grain was extremely sad, the old guy was scolding, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't dare to think about the harvest at all in the days of displacement, although he was idle when he was in the Xiang family, it was not the day that everyone wanted.

Now on this mountain, the old leatherman wants to learn from Yu Zhou and shout, this land is mine, this mountain is mine, and this grain is also planted by Lao Tzu himself.

Just when the three of them were tired and panting like cattle, Chen's mother came over with a can of plum wine.

"Quickly relieve the heat, it's really a sin, I didn't eat or drink in the past, and now there is no one to harvest the grain all over the ground, and my son should come back in two days, the old woman wants to discuss, do you want to let everyone finish harvesting the grain and leave?"

The mountain is much cooler than the mountain, but the three of them are still sweating profusely, Cao Leather Craftsman took a sip happily, and then wiped his mouth and said: "Chen family, you are serious, this is not negotiable, it should be so, otherwise they all drink the wind." ”

"Who's to say it's not, you haven't been on the ground for a long time, right?"

"Let you see the smile, the old man is a cobbler, let me hunt okay, the work in the field has been thrown away for too long, and my hands are raw."

Mother Chen nodded and said, "The sages all said that I am not as good as an old farmer, and I still have to find someone who is always in charge of the work in this field." ”

Yu Zhou, who was drinking plum wine, was stunned after hearing this.
