Chapter 3 Differences vs 26 Harvest Season
Time passed quickly, and the rice around the village was ripening one after another, and the air was filled with the smell of rice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info That night, Mei Xianzhuo came running with the yellow calendar, saying that tomorrow was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and agreed to harvest rice early the next morning. Liu Yao took a closer look, and the yellow calendar said that it was the seventh day of the sixth month. Seeing Mei Xianzhuo away, he picked up his son and said with emotion: "We have been here for half a year." The family looked at each other and was embarrassed.
Liu Man looked at the class schedule, looked up and said, "I don't have a class tomorrow, so I'll go and cut the rice too." ”
"How can you not have a class? You should be going to school every day. Liu Yao asked strangely.
Liu Man said proudly: "Hehe, I'm a teacher, not a student." I can listen to whatever class I want, and I can do whatever I want to do if I don't want to. Liu Yao remembered that in this world, there was no school where Liu Man could go to lectures. He touched his daughter's head and said softly: "Actually, among the four of us, the most affected is Xiaoman. Before Yao Ying could speak, Liu Man quickly continued: "Don't be sad, I think this kind of influence is pretty good." ”
At dawn the next day, when the group came to the rice field, they saw that Li Jiangong was already bending down and waving a sickle to cut the rice. Facing everyone's strange eyes, Li Jiangong wiped his sweat and said, "Isn't my task to guard these rice?" When the cut is finished, my mission will be over. ”
Mei Xianzhuo smiled, and before he could speak in a hurry, Sun Zhenggang had already hurriedly jumped into the field, snatched the sickle, carefully cut the rice, and complained in his mouth: "What are you anxious about!" You usually do little farm work, and it's a pity that you get rid of the rice grains. ”
"I've been on guard for more than a month and I still don't know it? This rice seed is really given by the gods, and it doesn't drop grains! Li Jiangong replied.
"Immortal rice seeds! What a name! Huang Yuanwai's voice came from afar. Looking up, Huang Yuanwai came to the edge of the field with three men. This fat man is not slow to act at all, and when the words arrive, Tuan Tuan greets everyone.
"Huang Yuanwai's light car is simple, why did you bring so many people?" Li Jiangong has good kung fu in his hands, and his kung fu is not weak in words.
"Hehe, I'm smiling." Huang Yuanwai said happily: "Everyone is busy harvesting rice, let's come over and have a look." As he spoke, he took the sickle and walked down into the field, grasping the rice stalk with his hand but not in a hurry to cut it.
"Huang Yuanwai, are you in a relationship with the fairy Daopan? No matter how much friendship you make, it can only be given to you in the next season! Li Jiangong laughed and continued to joke.
"Don't be in a hurry, we are not in a hurry at all about what Mr. Liu promised to do outside." Huang Yuanwai cut a knife, walked along the ridge of the field, pulled each rice plant, climbed up the ridge, and stood with satisfaction to watch the excitement.
Liu Man asked quietly on the side: "Dad, this yellow fat man spent so much time and so much effort to climb down and climb up, why did he cut it without cutting it?" ”
Liu Yao replied softly: "Observe carefully, it is worth rewarding." This fat yellow man is very fine. He came to check the authenticity of the rice. Moreover, he had pulled the rice just now, and he must have hidden a few grains in his hand. Have you noticed that Li Jiangong has been looking at me and Lao Mei's eyes? He shook his head at the two of them, fearing that they wouldn't understand, and shook his finger again.
Liu Man asked anxiously, "Why don't we take it back?" ”
"Huang Yuanwai, you have seen and watched, cut and cut, and pulled, you can bring the news back, right?" Li Jiangong seems to be very unkind to see this yellow fat man.
Liu Yao hurriedly replied to his daughter: "It's good for him." He said loudly: "Yes, Huang Yuanwai, please go back." Please bring back the news you got here. ”
The fat man was a little staggered, bowed his hands, said offended, and staggered away. The group looked at his back and laughed.
Li Jiangong hurriedly pulled Liu Yao's sleeve and said, "Did Mr. see how many rice seeds he had stolen?" ”
"See. Sooner or later, this rice seed will spread out. He took it to verify it, and it was advertising for us. I'm counting on a 1:100 exchange with him. After thinking about it, he said to Li Jiangong: "Advertising is a signboard and a disguise. The meaning of wide and informed. ”
Half a cent of ground was cut in a few strokes. Sun Zhenggang lifted the weight with the rod scale he brought. The performance of improved rice lived up to expectations, with a harvest of 45 catties, equivalent to more than 800 catties per mu. The group put down the scales, so happy that they didn't know what to do.
After the rice was cut, Liu Yao wrapped a pound and handed it to Sun Zhenggang to hold, saying that he wanted to take it back for reserves. He wants to receive the rice seed in the space as a backup. The remaining rice was not delayed at all, and it was immediately taken to breed, and it was necessary to hurry up and plant it in the field. It is estimated that this fairy rice seed can plant 7 acres of land and is estimated to harvest more than 5,000 catties of rice. Everyone looked at the plump rice seeds, and their eyes were full of smiles.
Sun Zheng had just picked up a pound of rice seeds and was about to walk back, when he looked up, he saw a large group of people running over on the road leading to the field, and a large puff of smoke and dust rose behind him.
"So, this road still has to be built well, you see, such a big amount of smoke, it's not good for the body." Liu Yao opened his mouth and said a sentence that no one could think of.
"Sir, aren't you worried that they're here to steal something?" Sun Zhenggang hurriedly asked.
Liu Yao shook his head and said, "It's all from the village, can't you see it?" ”
Mei Xianzhuo was also very calm, and said slowly: "No." You see, they are all carrying baskets and hoes. Is it true that our village is full of dead people, so openly and stubbornly come to rob it? ”
Li Jiangong had been covering his forehead with his hands and looking carefully, and then turned around and said, "And the one running in front is your Sun Zhuang, as well as those baby soldiers." ”
"What? If they don't study and train well, what are they doing here? Liu Yao suddenly became anxious and walked towards the road.
Liu Man also hurriedly followed, and when he came to see it, it was Sun Zhuang running in front, panting and his face flushed, holding a hoe in his hand and a basket on his shoulder.
"Sun Zhuang, what are you doing here? If you don't have a good class, come here! Liu Man took out the teacher's shelf and asked.
"Mr. Liu, sir, elders, hello." Sun Zhuang looked at it fixedly, hurriedly stopped and stood upright, and replied with standard military etiquette. Mei Jiaju and Zhao Fei and several other child soldier leaders also hurriedly stood upright. Sun Zhuang said again: "We came with the consent of Teacher Yao Ying. I heard that the harvest in the field was very high, and everyone wanted to come and see it. He pointed back.
Liu Yao thought in his heart, he had to build a gendarmerie team, he used to rely on a few squad leaders to beat military sticks, but this Sun Zhuang and Zhao Fei all ran out to see the excitement, who would enforce the law?
Yao Ying and Mei Xiang, who was holding Liu Ze, walked at the back of the line, and they also arrived at this time.
"Isn't the good harvest in this rice field seen every day? As for the people who are so excited? Liu Yao asked Yao Ying strangely.
"It's not rice, it's sweet potatoes!" Yao Ying married her son and pointed to the high ground behind everyone. I saw that the fields were full of people, who raised their hoes to dig, and from time to time burst into cheers.
Liu Yao remembered that his field had caused several sensations. Every growing season of rice and maize attracts a large number of villagers to see this amazing crop that has never been seen before. Because sweet potatoes are buried in the ground, they don't have an intuitive effect until they are dug up. Digging this sweet potato felt like the ground was half soil and half sweet potato, and the villagers were speechless by the huge bunches of sweet potatoes. Liu Yao knows that this kind of high-yield sweet potato is indeed very magical, the yield per mu has reached more than 10,000 catties, but it is very consuming of soil fertility, and measures such as fallow and crop rotation must be taken, planting a season of sweet potatoes, it is necessary to plant a season of milk vetch, and after the milk vetch is ripe, plow into the ground to increase fertility, and the next season is best to plant corn, and then plant sweet potatoes.
While thinking about how to explain the role of this milk vetch to Sun Zhenggang, he hurriedly ran to the middle of the field and shouted: "Everyone! Listen to me! Seeing that everyone gradually stopped their movements, he slowly said again: "Thank you for coming to see my sweet potatoes." I only have one sweet potato, so I don't pick it up much" The crowd laughed, all saying that this is not called more, how can it be called more? Liu Yao also smiled, and then said: "It's a lot, but I originally planned to take a sweet potato for everyone who came today to go back to seed, and everyone will have this kind of fairy sweet potato next season." Looking at it this way, it's not much. So now, please take all the sweet potatoes to the scales first, and I also want to know how many catties this sweet potato can yield per mu. Then I'll plant it, and I'll give you the sweet potato seeds next season. ”
Everyone rushed to pile up the sweet potatoes, and some people shouted: "Sir, is it also a pound for a hundred pounds?" Liu Yao hurriedly replied: "All the ones in our village are sent for free!" Over there, Liu Man led his students to engage in land measurement, to measure the planting area of the magic sweet potato, to calculate the yield of sweet potato.
60 acres of paddy fields and 100 acres of dry land, planted with rice, sweet potatoes and corn, after experiencing the wonder of the magic seed, only hard labor remained. The villagers should have been inspired by the miraculous crop and spontaneously stayed to help with the harvest. More than 100 acres of water and dry fields soon saw the effect of harvesting, piles of sweet potatoes, corn and rice, arranged in a row on the main road. Liu Man looked at the mountain with as much food as he wanted, and said happily: "Dad, are we not worried about eating this time?" ”
Liu Yao happily replied: "Not only do I not have to worry about food, but I also want to build a chicken and pig farm, and we have meat and eggs to eat every day." ”
Liu Man cheered happily and ran to take care of his younger brother. Liu Ze didn't know the importance of food yet, and it was the first time he saw so many things he had never seen before, and he was so happy that he only threw himself up. Yao Ying didn't care if the children were soiled, and pulled Sun Zhenggang to ask, "Is there any of this half?" Where do you put all this food? Sun Zheng hurriedly replied: "Sister-in-law, please rest assured, we have already prepared a place to put food." ”
The villagers carried the harvested crops to the side of the road, and they all congratulated Yao Ying, who was so happy, wiped their sweat and went back to work. Looking at this hot scene, Yao Ying and Liu Man were moved to tears. Mei Xianzhuo was also very happy, and he gathered tools, drinking water and lunch before and after running. Liu Yao walked around the crowd with his hands behind his back, greeted everyone, and then grabbed Wang Daixi, who was harvesting rice, and pulled him to the ditch to wash his hands and feet, and said to her: "Don't we have an account to record the amount of all wages that are delayed?" ”
"yes. There is also an interest accrual every month. Wang Daixi gently wiped the water droplets from his hands and looked up and replied.
Liu Yao said to Wang Daixi: "You go and make a note in the account book now, I will send ten catties of grain to everyone in the village." ”
Wang Daixi was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, turned back and walked to the edge of the rice field, and shouted into the rice field: "Qiaoqiao, I'm going back, you help me bring the sickle back." ”
Sun Qiaoqiao raised her head in the paddy field, wanting to wipe the sweat on her face with her hands, but suddenly found that her hands were very dirty, so she hurriedly wiped them with her arms, and asked while hurrying, "Why did you go back?" It's not done yet. ”
Wang Daixi replied loudly: "Sir asked me to keep the accounts." The gentleman said that when the whole village came to help him harvest rice, he would give everyone ten catties of grain. ”
When the villagers who were harvesting rice heard this, they all raised their heads, looked at each other, said that Mr. Liu was really a good person, and lowered their heads to cut rice.
Mei Xianzhuo also heard Wang Daixi's words in the distance, lowered his head and smiled, and whispered to himself: "Mr. Liu, you can do it." It's best to settle all the old accounts right away. ”
As it gets late, the villagers stop what they are doing and walk towards the village with rice, sweet potatoes and corn. The setting sun gilds a warm color on people's bodies, and leaves a long figure behind them.
Mei Xianzhuo found Liu Yao, who was walking at the back of the team, and discussed with him: "How do you plan to arrange these grains." ”
"I'd like to hear Mr. May's advice." Liu Yao replied with a smile.
"Hehe, you must have thought it out a long time ago. I admire your practice of counting ten catties of grain. Mei Xianzhuo smiled, and said disapprenosingly: "I think that while there is more food now, you can also pay off the old debts, save the warehouse, and save some interest." ”
Liu Yao nodded yes, and then said: "It's just that next, whether to send food or continue to keep accounts, I'm a little unsure." ”
"Then it depends on what you're going to do. Even now these brick kilns and workshops, you don't have to keep accounts. If you want to do something else, then you have to keep keeping accounts. After Mei Xianzhuo finished speaking, he said, "I said, can you stop doing anything else?" I look worried. ”
"Hehe, is it better to worry about the food, or about being robbed? Even the woodcarver knows that the adults in the county have ideas about me, don't you know? ”
"Some of his peers work in big families in the county, so there is more news. This idea, the county magistrate has always had it, as long as it is a person with a little money, he has an idea. It's just that you've been farming and running a workshop, and it doesn't prevent him from having thoughts about you. ”
"If so, I'm more relieved. The absence of personal hatred is a problem that money can solve. If money can solve it, it is not a problem. Liu Yao grinned again.
"If you have not killed your father and taken your wife, what is your hatred? You're right, it's a big deal to pass some. So what's next for you? ”
"Steel. Remember what I said, there's steel in this mountain, and I'm going to get it out. Liu Yao didn't notice that when he said this, his expression completely changed, and he was a little fanatical.
