Chapter 3 The yield that stunned the farmers
When Wang Dalun was almost sucked dry by mosquitoes, the autumn harvest finally came, and both the long-term workers and tenants of the palace were ready for the autumn harvest.
The harvesting tools have been sharpened, the au pairs, the hiring of people, have already been arranged, with the first piece of land being harvested, everyone seems to have been instructed to devote themselves to the intense autumn harvest work.
Wang Dalun, as the head of the family, began to get busy, the tenants don't have to worry, they will take care of it themselves, but the land that their own family hires for long-term work will have to be labored, Wang Dalun can't help but secretly thank Lin Xiaoqing and Fang Wen'er, they have turned the thieves of Erlong Mountain into docile and easy-to-use strong laborers.
Wang Dalun used to think that being a landlord was to stay at home leisurely, waiting for the long-term workers and tenants to hand over the grain, but the reality is that all the people in the family who can work go down to the field, Fang Wen'er and other women are responsible for making good food, and Wang Dalun, as a man, goes to the field to work with everyone.
Some people will ask, is it necessary for all landlords to work in the fields? The answer is very necessary, because the agricultural season is only a few days, and if you don't hurry up and harvest in a hurry, you will suffer if it rains. And if you don't harvest it quickly, the fruit of the plant will fall off, and then you will only have to cry, and you will not be able to go to the soil to pick up the fruit!
During the autumn harvest, Wang Dalun, like everyone else, got up before dawn every day, ate something hastily, and went down to the field with everyone, taking advantage of the fact that the sun was not hot, and harvested desperately, until the evening was out of sight, and then went back to rest with everyone.
Someone said again, then why do you have to go to the field yourself and let the long-term workers do it? The answer is no, the long-term workers only get money at the end of the year, and the quality of the harvest in the field has little to do with them, if you don't take the lead, then the long-term workers will come up with all kinds of strange ways to slack off, after all, even the livestock will think of slacking off, and people are so smart, will they not think of it?
Wang Dalun said secretly, fortunately, he has worked at the grassroots level for so many years, he has seen more spring ploughing and autumn harvests, and he has a lot of time when he goes to the field.
However, Wang Dalun is still a little depressed, grandma's, used to work in the field for a salary of two yuan, why is it that now the owner of the land still has to work in the field? Grandma's, the sun is so big, it's too hard to do farm work.
What makes Wang Dalun even more depressed is that the current yield per mu is too low, the crops only grow straw and do not grow fruits, and the yield is so low that it is sad. Is this farming? It's almost the same as planting grass! Farmland without chemical fertilizers is really speechless.
When the autumn harvest was almost busy, Wang Dalun decided to harvest his own sample, thinking of the yield of corn and sweet potatoes, Wang Dalun didn't feel secretly excited in his heart, this feeling was like his child was about to be born, nervous, excited, excited!
As soon as the morning dawned, Wang Dalun, Wang Erzhu, Wang Qiwa and others came to the cornfield, looking at the lush corn, Wang Dalun felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
"Young master, you said that we have worked hard for so long, and this corn really has the yield of seven or eight stones as you said?" Wang Erzhu asked unconfidently.
"Of course! You two have worked so hard for so long, weeding and fertilizing, and the yield must be so much! Wang Dalun said affirmatively, muttering secretly in his heart, although there is no chemical fertilizer, a little more than half of the actual output should be achievable.
"Young master, how do you harvest this corn?" Wang Qiwa asked on the side, they had never seen each other before.
"It's very simple, everyone breaks off the corn cob and transports it back, as for this stalk, cut it down by the way, and transport it back after a while, this thing can be fed to the cows and make a fire." Wang Dalun reminded.
Everyone did as Wang Dalun said, broke off the corn cobs, and soon piled them into a small mountain, and the ox cart they brought soon couldn't fit it.
"Wang Suo, you drive the car back, it is estimated that it will take one or two trips to pull this acre of land." Wang Dalun pointed to a stout family member and said.
"It's good, young master!" Wang Suo said very little, and after agreeing, he drove the ox cart to the palace.
Because of the large number of people, everyone harvested corn cobs very quickly, and Wang Suo had to carry corn cobs back and forth, and people were amazed to see the ox carts running back and forth and the hills that gradually piled up in the yard.
When the people who were harvesting the corn were still fighting in the field, Wang Suo ran to tell Wang Dalun: "Young master, I'm afraid it won't be transported today, the cattle have run so many times, and they can't bear it, can they be transported again tomorrow?" ”
"Do you have any other cars at home?" Wang Dalun asked.
"No, they're all busy in the fields!"
"What about the horses, let them pull the horses!"
"Young master, that's a war horse!" Wang Suo said hesitantly.
"I know that it's just a cameo appearance as a pony occasionally, so that those horses can also experience life, don't always be an uncle, you go and tell the second lady, just say what I said!" Wang Dalun sent Wang Suo Dao.
When Wang Suo conveyed Wang Dalun's order, Sun Liu and the others were very angry, after all, the horse was their life, but under the strong pressure of Lin Xiaoqing, Sun Liu and the others reluctantly treated the horse as a horseman.
When it was almost dark, everyone had finished harvesting the corn, and when they looked at the corn cobs piled up in the yard like a mountain, everyone was very surprised and talked about it.
"Erzhu, is this really planted by your ten acres of land? My goodness, so many! Someone in the family asked Wang Erzhudao.
"Of course!" Wang Erzhu replied proudly, he was very proud at this moment, and felt that the previous hard work was all worth it.
"Oh my God, it's almost a hundred stones!"
"What a hundred stones, I think there are two hundred stones!"
"That's amazing!"
Wu Liang looked at the hill in front of him, and also felt incredible, and asked Wang Dalun excitedly: "Young master, there are so many, if you do it, will you really have the output of seven or eight stones?" ”
"Well, there should be!" Wang Dalun guessed.
"Young master, you should quickly arrange for someone to guard it now. What is this thing called? Corn yes, don't give it to outsiders! Wu Liang immediately suggested excitedly.
"You don't have to worry about this, I originally had the idea of promoting corn, and sweet potatoes are the same, I am not short of money now, if these crops can be grown in large quantities, I want to starve to death less!" Wang Dalun said firmly.
"Hey! Well, I don't care! Wu Liang sighed and said, thinking to himself why the young master was stupid again.
"By the way, young master, the sweet potato you said won't really have the yield of thirteen or fourteen stones you said, right?" Wu Liang thought of sweet potatoes from corn and asked in surprise.
"There should be, I'll know tomorrow." Wang Dalun replied in the affirmative.
"Ahh Wu Liang's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"By the way, tomorrow all the cars in the family will go to pull sweet potatoes, and if you can borrow them, you will also bring them with you, and all the people in the family will also go to the sweet potato field together tomorrow." Wang Dalun ignored Wu Liang's surprise and continued to command.
"Okay, I'm going to the field tomorrow! I'm going to see it for myself! Wu Liang is also looking forward to tomorrow now.
It turns out that the spread of the grapevine is very fast, and when everyone knows that the yield of sweet potatoes may be thirteen or fourteen stones, they are all in an uproar, because there is a corn yield in front of everyone, and everyone is very much looking forward to whether the yield of sweet potatoes tomorrow is not so amazing!
As a result, early the next morning, everyone was already waiting in the field, everyone looked at the green sweet potato leaves, and was very puzzled in their hearts, all the leaves in the field should not add up to thirteen or fourteen stones, right? Could it be that Master Wang is fooling us to play?
Wang Dalun looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Wang Erzhu, Wang Qiwa, this land is served by you, and you are the first to harvest sweet potatoes." Remember, gently dig up the soil and dig out the ground! ”
Wang Erzhu and the two gently dug the soil, and mentioned it along the roots, only to see a heavy sweet potato appear in front of everyone, looking at it with their eyes, it was estimated that it weighed a catty.
"Keep planing, there's a lot more on the side!" Wang Dalun reminded.
As the two moved, more and more sweet potatoes appeared in front of everyone, and everyone began to exclaim: "Good girl! There are so many under a seedling, almost ten catties! ”
Wang Dalun listened to everyone's discussions, smiled proudly, and said: "Let's do it, let's see how many acres of land there are!"
Everyone hurriedly rushed into the field and began to plan, and with the continuous efforts of everyone, an acre of land was finally dug up, and it was full of four large carts.
Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes in front of him, someone couldn't help but say: "Oh my God, there are so many, can you eat this thing, if I can eat it, I won't be able to eat it for a year, and I'll never be afraid of hunger in the future!" ”
Wang Dalun pretended to be forced to order: "Erzhu, raise the fire, I want to roast sweet potatoes to eat!" ”
When the fire was raised, Wang Dalun threw in a few sweet potatoes, and it didn't take long for the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes to come out, and everyone swallowed and foamed when they smelled it.
When it was almost ripe, Wang Dalun took out the sweet potato, regardless of the hot hands, skillfully tore the skin, and ate it very happily.
After the two sweet potatoes were in his stomach, Wang Dalun found that everyone was looking at the roasted sweet potatoes, and their saliva was about to flow out.
Wang Dalun said strangely: "What are you looking at, don't you know how to bake if you want to eat?" So many sweet potatoes, you can eat them! ”
As soon as everyone heard that Wang Dalun allowed them to roast sweet potatoes too, they scattered one after another, and a pile of fires was raised, and after a while, the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes wafted everywhere.
When everyone tasted this delicacy for the first time, they let go of their stomachs and ate desperately, and many people couldn't hold their stomachs anymore, and they didn't even want to eat lunch.
The follow-up results of the roasted sweet potato incident made Wang Dalun crazy, because the sound of everyone's farting would sound in the palace at any time, often continuously, and the palace was full of smoke and miasma at any time.
And the initiator, Wang Dalun, was turned away by the angry women, so the mosquitoes in the study could "add food" again, but I don't know if the mosquitoes in the road wore gas masks.
