Chapter 164

In this regard, Zheng Linchu gave Xue Langjing a suggestion.

The sunflower seeds picked a few days ago can be fried into melon seeds, and the slightly old ones harvested in the next few days are just suitable for oil extraction, although the oil extraction is more troublesome, but the income is not less than that of fried melon seeds, as for the oil extraction equipment, she can also provide.

In this way, Xue Langjing's concerns are naturally gone, and there is naturally no reason to disagree.

The usefulness of sunflower seeds was so happily decided.

After that, of course, wait for the sunflowers to fully ripen.

Two days passed.

Wait for the harvest deadline agreed by everyone to arrive.

The outside of the Xue family's courtyard was crowded with young men early in the morning, who were either carrying burdens or carrying hunting tools.

After breakfast, everyone set off towards the wild forest.

Before leaving, more than one hundred and forty people lined up according to the formation arranged by Xue Langjing and the others before.

The reason why they lined up at the bottom of the mountain was to let everyone be familiar with their positions in advance, so as not to rush into a team after arriving at the mountain, which would make the team chaotic and not form a team.

Therefore, they were required to adapt to this formation at the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, the purpose of hiring so many hunters is to provide an extra guarantee for the hunting team just in case.

Generally, as long as there are no accidents, the skills of these twenty or so people are enough to deal with it.

Officially enter the wild forest.

Except for a few of these ordinary laborers who have been to the periphery of the wild forest, most of them have entered the wild forest for the first time, and they are still a little apprehensive in their hearts.

In addition to being nervous, it is inevitable that you will be full of curiosity about this wild forest and want to explore what it looks like.

Therefore, after walking in the wild forest for a while, the people who had already passed the initial nervousness and found that this place was not as dangerous as they imagined began to look left and right curiously, trying to see the face of the wild forest.

One is to satisfy his curiosity, and the other is to know the true appearance of the wild forest, and after going out, he has the capital to brag about, and he is also a person who has been to the East God Wild Forest.

Actually, they are not so bold, and they can really ignore their own lives in order to earn those dozens of dollars.

Before coming, both parties had signed a contract, and if they felt that the hunting team could not protect them on the way, or that the environment was too dangerous, they had the right to ask the hunting team to escort them back.

With this guarantee, they are willing to come.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

In most cases, the hunters who acted as a buffer in the middle did not even have a chance to pick up arms, and the dangers encountered were solved by the hunting team members in time, and many of the team members did not have to use their hands, and still guarded them on the side.

Only occasionally encountered some trouble, did most of the team members be dispatched, and the hunters were armed to protect the innermost people, in case any fish escaped from the net and hurt people.

But in the end, they didn't have a chance to really shoot, and it can basically be said that they came all the way to the sunflower field.

In fact, anyone with a little experience knows that as long as the crowd is large enough, many beasts will automatically avoid the crowd, and the more people they have, the safer they are.

Of course, if it's all a rabble, it can't be helped.

I think many people also believe that only when there is strength in the number of people can they dare to take on this job.

When they came to the sunflower field, needless to say, everyone put down their farming tools and weapons, and went up with sickles to cut the sunflower trays.

When you enter the Aoi Garden, the surrounding field of vision is much wider, and there is no possibility that a wild beast will come out from a certain direction at any time as if you were outside.

As long as a few people are on guard here, everyone else can join the harvesting army, of course, the team members do not dare to completely relax their vigilance, or always pay attention to the abnormalities that may occur around them, so as not to have any accidents.

Originally, they planned to cut the whole day, harvest the amount of several days in one day, and pick it up directly in the next few days, so as to save some time to walk two times a day.

But now that there are more people, the harvest will be faster, and they can stay in the mountains a little longer every day, even if they harvest on the same day, it is no problem to walk two round-trips.

Anyway, as soon as they get down the mountain, someone will answer them.

When the time comes, they can return to the sunflower fields as soon as they drop off their goods halfway through.

The process is basically to harvest all the portions of today's two trips first, pick half of them after harvesting, and pick the rest back on the second trip.

Overall, the day went well, and when it was about to get dark, everyone had already carried the second load of goods to the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, the sunflowers that were originally picked down the mountain had already been transported back by the Xue family.

As for this second burden, of course, they have to pick it up and take it back to the Xue family themselves.

When everyone came to the outside of the Xue family's courtyard with their burdens, they found that there were already more than a dozen tables set up here, and several dishes had been placed on each table, obviously to entertain these hired people.

Where had they eaten such a sumptuous meal in the past, and now they were tired and hungry after a day's hard work.

When they saw the dishes on the table, how could they resist the temptation, most of them hurriedly put the burden in the designated storage place of the Xue family, and then rushed to serve the bowl of rice and grab the place to eat.

Under the coaxing of everyone, it didn't take long for a barrel of large white rice that had just been moved out before to see the bottom, and then the second bucket.

Only a few hunters can hold it and unload their burdens to eat steadily.

And so it went on for three days.

In the evening of that day, when everyone returned to the courtyard of the Xue family with the goods, they found a different scene from the past.

It turned out that in addition to the dozen or so dining tables placed here, other places where people could stay, and even on the side of the road, were full of men, women and children.

Each of them had a lot of sunflower trays piled up around them, and most of them had a tool in their hands, and they were using it to 'snap' the front of the flower plate placed in front of them.

If you look at it for a while, you can see that as long as the tool slaps seven or eight times on the flower plate, it can shake off all the sunflower seeds on the entire flower plate.

I saw that these people were skillfully picking up a flower tray that had been piled on one side and had not yet threshed and placed it in front of them, and then knocked it with a tool, and when all the sunflower seeds on the flower plate were knocked out, they quickly threw it aside, took a flower tray again and continued to knock, one after another, and threshed the sunflowers quickly.

The tool looks very simple, too.

There was a long wooden handle, just enough to be held by hand, and at the top of the handle was inlaid a wooden circle, which was about the size of a flower plate, and several thin strips of wood were crisscrossed in the middle of the circle.

This wood looks like solid wood, which has a lot of weight, and it can shake off a lot of sunflower seeds on the flower plate with a single blow.

In the middle of the circle, except for a few wooden strips crossed, the rest of the place is hollowed out, and the sunflower seeds will not be smashed if they are basically smashed, and the threshing is extremely fast and convenient.

Almost everyone has one tool, which is basically unbearable without one or two hundred tools, right?

With so many tools, it is obviously impossible for them to come from the hands of the Xue family, no matter how powerful Xue Yuhe's manual work is, he will not be able to make so many in a short period of time.

That can only be provided by Zheng Linchu, the buyer of this batch of sunflower seeds.

This sunflower plate that has just been picked from the bottom of the mountain, its sunflower seeds will not be photographed so easily.
