"The general has opened the sickle!" The crowd shouted excitedly, and Feng Xiaobao, wielding a golden (brass) sickle, bent down and cut the first handful of wheat in public. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then he held up the golden ears of wheat and displayed them around.

His opening of the sickle was a signal, which triggered countless wheat customers and old farmers, and people excitedly grabbed the sickle and went to work quickly.

The sickle brushed and the ears of wheat fell to the ground.

Brush Brush Brush Brush,

Soon after, the harvested ears were piled up

Wheat waves are rolling in a bumper harvest year!

Hurry up and harvest!

This year, Tonghuang County has shown that it will be a bumper harvest before the harvest, so the county has made full preparations, and is ready for the outside world, including the upper and lower levels have been mobilized, most of the manpower has been transferred, and even the government has left a few people at most to guard, and all the people who can be used, regardless of men, women, and children, go into battle together, and actively participate in the work of harvesting grain, and cannot let the robbers get the fruits of their hard work!

The men grabbed their sickles and cut the wheat with all their might, including generals, officers, soldiers, government officials, farmers, merchants, herdsmen, factory workers, and so on.

On the edge of the field, there is boiling water, weak tea, and salt water for people to use.

Feng Xiaobao's rule knew very well that only boiled water could be drunk, and raw water would only be drunk as a last resort.

In addition to water supply, set ** rice, three meals a day, all solved in the field, Feng Xiaobao opened a military kitchen, he arrogantly set up a running water table, anyone who came to help could come to eat!

A large amount of rice, hu cakes and steamed buns, plus salted meat and pickles, as well as wild vegetables, were all helped by women.

The meat and bones in the cauldron are boiled in a cauldron, and the aroma is overflowing, and when you drink it in a big bowl, the hard work of the day seems to be gone.

Among the people who harvest, there is a group of people who are particularly conspicuous, they harvest twice as fast as ordinary farmers, at least a little and a half times, fast and not counting, the harvest is good, and there is not much waste.

Seeing that they are moving quickly, but they don't see hard work, their sword skills have reached the point of perfection.

They are Maike from Guan Long!

In the northern Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo areas, a popular way for farmers to go out to work, that is, every year during the wheat ripening season, farmers go out to the countryside to harvest wheat for others, commonly known as 'rushing wheat field', just like migrant workers.

There is a shortage of labor in the crops, and the wheat must be harvested in time when it is ripe, and at that time, some people rushed to harvest the wheat in groups in order to earn some money to supplement the family.

In ancient times, there were not as many earning opportunities as modern part-time jobs, and it was not easy to get copper coins! But when it comes to harvesting crops, it is still very popular to work to help people harvest wheat, and they get some wages for this.

Busy farming time is as expensive as oil!

The hard work of one season a year is all here, people work all night (generally do not harvest after noon, because before noon and after the afternoon are relatively humid, the wheat ears absorb water and are not easy to break off, after noon the water is less, the wheat ears are brittle, the loss is greater during harvesting, and for the current level, the loss is not allowed), there is a serious shortage of manpower, after all, people can take care of a hundred acres of land, but the harvest is impossible to harvest a hundred acres at one time, and the Tibetan iron horse is eyeing the tiger, once they break through, in case it becomes a trend of bursting the embankment, it will have a far-reaching impact!

Without food---- it is unable to support the military----- the army is not large----- defeat in the war ----- affect the national fortunes, and the impact has been advanced.

Therefore, Feng Xiaobao's red eyes gave a strict order: do everything in your power to ensure the autumn harvest.

Maike comes in handy, their speed is fast, the level is high, Feng Xiaobao is using them, so he opens a green channel and gives special care... This is what he taught his subordinates.

Recruit familiar wheat customers in the Guanlong area early, transport them in a centralized manner, free food on the way, plus one percent of the reward, so it attracted 500 wheat customers to go to Hehuang to serve him.

They often have a sickle, a hat, a simple bag, and often all their belongings.

Don't underestimate them, see them hunched over, their sickles swinging rapidly, and the crackling sound of the straw being cut, monotonous and pleasant. Cut and bundle and stand in thick clusters. Turning his head, there was a black and neat wheat stubble; Turning around, there was still a golden sea of wheat, and Maike had become the promoter of the coastline.

The speed of these wheat customers is quite fast, extremely hard, because Feng Xiaobao wants them to come, the pay is good, the food is good, when they see that the staple esophagus is enough, not enough to take it again, there is meat and vegetables, and there is a large pot of meat and bone broth, which is changed every day, eating mutton on the first day, horse meat on the second day, and beef every three days, it is really an eye-opener.

It's rare to have such a good meal!

The food is so good, I heard that the head of the family is a general of the imperial court, a general who is less than thirty years old, no wonder!

……

The harvested wheat is subjected to "threshing", i.e., taking off the stem.

There are two methods, you can use manual pulling animals to drag stones to grind the wheat on the ground, provided that the wheat stalks must be very dry, and more wheat beaters are used to operate.

Feng Xiaobao concentrated on the old farmers to develop the wheat threshing machine is like a drum, the drum is covered with sharp rods, placed on the shelf, the shelf has a baffle, the use of belt transmission, people step on the pedal, the drum can roll down the stuffed wheat stalks, take out the wheat, collect together, and use a wooden shovel to take advantage of the wind to sprinkle.

Wheat husks were flying, smoke was filling, and people wrapped their mouths and noses around them with towels.

The straw left behind will not be wasted and can be used as food and fertilizer for livestock.

Finally, people have to transport the beaten wheat grains and find a relatively safe place to dry on flat ground for about a week before entering the warehouse.

……

At the end of the morning, the work was suspended, and Mai Ke Lao Jia wiped his sweat with a towel and went straight to the Tiantou rice stall to prepare for dinner.

He was a sturdy old peasant, and before he was forty years old, his hair was all white, and his forehead was wrinkled like mountains.

The meat on the boiling cauldron was rich, Lao Jia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up the tray, lined up with everyone, and ate in turn.

Rice porridge, steamed buns, pickles, scrambled eggs with fungus, fragrant!

"No Cake Today?" Lao Jia asked the person in charge, he likes to eat Hu cakes, Hu cakes made in Tonghuang County, he likes to use mutton fat, Lao Jia loves to eat them very much.

"No, eat a hamburger today!" The spoon replied.

"Hamburger?" Lao Jia asked in a daze, he had never heard of it.

Soon he knew what a hamburger was: a round meatloaf fried in a pan, with some vegetables and wild vegetables, cheese and some seasonings, and the two slices of round cakes were ready!

Simple, fast, tasteful, nutritious!

Two for one person!

Lao Jia, who ate it for the first time, quickly finished eating, felt that it tasted good, and couldn't help but ask Lao Bei, an old farmer in Tonghuang County, who was an acquaintance next to him: "Why is it called a hamburger?" ”

Lao Bei's answer is a matter of course: "The general said that a hamburger is a hamburger!" ”

Seeing that Lao Jia was still unsatisfied, Lao Bei stuffed one of his hamburgers into Lao Jia's hand, and Lao Jia excused himself: "Why are you embarrassed to pinch it?" ”

"Okay, you may not be able to eat when you go back, only there are two capitals here, as long as I want to eat, there is a 'McDonald's' in the county that specializes in selling hamburgers!"

"McDonald's?" This time, Lao Jia didn't ask why, otherwise the answer would be that the general said that McDonald's was McDonald's.

In Tonghuang County, Feng Xiaobao is the Emperor of the Soil, and whatever he says is what he says.

"Yes!"

Whether it is Lao Jia or Lao Bei, they would never have thought that this is from another world, Feng Xiaobao let them appear, just to let him have a thought, don't slowly forget that world! (To be continued.) )
