Chapter 145: Rice Harvest

For the first time in her life, Yun Yao saw the hard work of farmers.

When the yellow ears of rice hung their heads heavily, Fang Caigui came with hundreds of hired workers. Knowing that they were going to harvest today, Yun Yao and Da Niu attached great importance to it, and even Fang Liangyu appeared on the ground with a mask and a parasol.

Yun Yao saw him hurriedly walking over, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" It's all ash here for a while, and if you smoke too much, you'll get sick. ”

Fang Liangyu flattened his mouth, but still insisted: "Sister Yun, you and Brother Li have worked hard for half a year, and now you can harvest, I must come and take a look." You just let me watch it for a while, and I promise to go back when I'm done. ”

Yun Yao had no choice but to let Fang Caigui take a good look at him.

Fang Caigui saw her, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, please go back to the house to rest, I will take someone to watch here." ”

Of course Yun Yao refused to leave, these rice grains were the hope of Xiliangzhou, and she had to watch them harvest with her own eyes, and then calculate the yield per mu to feel at ease.

However, these words don't make sense with Fang Caigui. She fastened her straw hat to her head and turned to look for the bull.

The bull was handing out sickles one by one and distributing men. There are those who cut rice in the field, those who bale and dry, those who are specifically responsible for threshing, and those who have to arrange people to handle the straw, which are very busy.

Yun Yao didn't bother him, just stood in the back and helped him hand the tools. After a while, the manpower arrangement was completed, and the big bull gave an order, and everyone scattered and took their places.

Since the rice planting was divided into several days, the first ripening rice fields were picked at this time. The peasants, dressed in long sleeves and trousers, with straw hats on their heads and sickles in their hands, bent down in unison and began to harvest quickly.

Yun Yao also went to try it herself, and hurriedly escaped. It's just so hard. The handle of the knife was just grinding to the pain, and the burrs of the rice pierced through the clothes and the skin was itchy and painful. Overhead was the scorching July sun, and the soil below was not yet completely dry, steaming hot steam. It's hot, itchy, it's painful, it's tired, it's really a sin.

She accompanied Fang Liangyu to stand under the umbrella, fanned the cool breeze with a puff fan, and sighed: "This is really the afternoon of hoeing day, and the sweat drops into the soil." Who knows that Chinese food is hard work! ”

"Sister Yun, it's not a hoe now, it's a harvest now." Fang Liangyu pointed to the peasants in the field and said, "Look at them, although they work hard, everyone is laughing happily. Although they don't own the rice, they are happy to think that they will be able to grow such good rice next year. ”

Yun Yao looked down at his hand, and sure enough, he saw that the people working in the fields were full of energy, and many people were still talking while cutting rice.

When a person stopped to bundle the handles, he touched the golden ears of rice and smiled: "I have never seen such a good rice in my life!" ”

"Yes! Look at this ear of rice, heavy, and each grain is very full, I estimate that this field can make three or five hundred catties! A person next to him also smacked his lips and sighed.

At this time, someone happened to come to pick the rice and prepare to thresh, because he heard a few words from the big cow, and immediately despised them and said, "What do you know? I heard that these rice are all divine seeds with a yield of up to 1,000 catties per mu, so I am waiting to lay the rice and weigh it. I said you hurry up, Uncle Li is waiting to calculate the output! ”

These fields are planted finely, but this is the first time that the big words of a thousand catties per mu have been said, and everyone was very surprised when they heard it, and they were suddenly more motivated, just waiting to see how many catties they could harvest.

"Let's go, let's go check it out." Fang Liangyu pulled Yun Yao, and the two followed the farmer who carried the burden to the threshing floor.

There are more than a dozen pedestal threshers lined up, and many people are shirtless with screens, shovels, and buckets, making preparations before threshing.

Because I bought 4 different kinds of seeds, and I had to calculate the yield, I also separated them at the time of harvesting, and which ones came from which land and what varieties they belonged to, all of them were marked one by one, and the big cow was watching here.

"How did you two get here?" Da Niu was taking off his coat and preparing to work, when he saw Yun Yao suddenly running over, he hurriedly put on his clothes again. Seeing that the others were also learning to get dressed, Yun Yao hurriedly said, "I'll leave now, don't be busy." ”

She walked with the bull to the shade of the tree and asked, "What can I do?" Fang Liangyu also looked at the big cow with a blank eye, and wanted to do something for everyone.

Da Niu looked at these two young ladies with fine skin and tender meat with a headache, and said distressedly: "It's all rough work, as long as you put in your strength, there is really nothing for you to do." ”

Yun Yao and Fang Liangyu were so disgusted that they didn't want to, so they had to stand aside and watch others do their work and not be able to interfere.

Yun Yao saw that Da Niu ran to direct people to operate the thresher, and after a while, it was so hot that his face was covered with sweat, some of the sweat beads fell directly to the ground, and some slid down his body, and after a while, the clothes up and down were all soaked.

She knew she couldn't be here anymore. She is a county lord and a girl, standing here everyone can't let go, no matter how hot she is, she doesn't dare to take off her clothes. Where can the weather in July stop such work?

"Let's go." She pulled Fang Liangyu back into the courtyard, coaxed him a few words, and persuaded him to go back to the town first, and then closed the door and returned to modern times.

Everyone is working too hard, she can't just do it.

Yun Yao found Fang Caigui and asked him to prepare lunch a little more sumptuously, and asked people to cook a big pot of mung bean soup. By the time the mung bean soup had cooled, she had prepared a large box of ice cubes.

Pouring ice cubes into the mung bean soup and stirring, she had people carry the wooden bucket and the porcelain bowl to the ground. When she distributed the cool mung bean soup to everyone, they all smiled and squinted. On a hot day, a bowl of chilled mung bean soup will satisfy them.

The sun at noon was really hot, and Yun Yao insisted on telling everyone to rest for an hour.

There weren't so many houses in the Zhuangzi, so everyone just sat in the shade of the trees holding their rice bowls, eating and happily discussing the freshly threshed rice. When the big cow announced that the yield of rice seeds per mu harvested in the morning had reached 800 catties, everyone was crazy with joy, and the small grange was full of cheers.

Yun Yao's joy and satisfaction at this moment were greater than ever. Originally, when she brought the rice seeds here, she thought more about energy in her heart, but at this moment, in the face of these hard-working people, she really couldn't treat them all as **C who saved experience for herself.

Zhang sent people to guard the exit of the grange, and everyone who returned home after their work was searched, saying that they were prevented from taking the rice seeds out.

"I said you really don't have to ...... like this" Yun Yao scratched her head and looked at Zhang Zhi in distress, "You go back, these rice seeds were originally meant to be given to them, take them away." ”

Zhang Zhi insisted: "County lord, this is what the prince meant. ”

"Okay, whatever you want." mentioned Xiao Chuhan Yunyao for a second. "Since the prince has given the order, then this place will be handed over to you. When we calculate the yield, you can pull all the rice seeds back, and I don't have to keep any of them. ”

Yun Yao slipped away after speaking.

Although she deliberately avoided the name these days, the figure of that person became clearer and clearer in her mind. The two obviously didn't have much intersection, and Yun Yao couldn't understand why she was like this. When it comes to feelings, she clearly has more feelings with Da Niu and Fang Liangyu. If you want to talk about appearance, the black fox is not bad. Does he like his cold and ascetic in front of him, and all kinds of pestering scoundrels behind him?

Yun Yao was shocked by her thoughts.

I can't think about him anymore, otherwise I don't even know how he died!

Hundreds of people worked together, and even 100 acres of farmland took only 5 days to harvest. Fortunately, God opened their eyes, and there was not a drop of rain these days, which did not add any trouble to them.

Zhang Zhi got Yun Yao's words, recruited many people from the vicinity, packed all the rice in sacks, marked the variety, and pulled it all to the granary in the county, and the grange was completely stopped.

Zhang Zhilin found Yun Yao before leaving and asked, "County Lord, the lower official is about to transport the rice seeds to the royal city to hand over his life, I wonder if you have a letter to bring to the prince?" ”

Yun Yao lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and said, "You don't need to write a letter, you just tell him, please take care of himself." ”

The convoy had already gone away, and Yun Yao was still standing stupidly in front of the grange.

"The land is idle, I'm going to arrange for someone to plant autumn potatoes, do you want to go and see it?" Da Niu stood behind Yun Yao for a long time, and saw that she didn't mean to move, so he had to remind in a whisper.

"Oh, no, I'll leave it to you, I'm tired and want to go and rest for a while." Yun Yao came back to her senses, glanced at Da Niu apologetically, and left without saying anything.

She's done. Waterwheels, seed potatoes, and rice seeds, these things that were promised to Xiao Chuhan at the beginning have now been realized one by one. His requirement for her is to produce more than 400 catties per mu, and she has now reached 800-1000 catties per mu with the help of big cattle. That's enough.

At the beginning, she had worked hard to select those rice seeds, and the goal was to have a high yield. Now it turns out that the difference is nothing more than a difference in taste. It doesn't matter at all to people who don't have enough to eat.

Yun Yao went back to the room and took out the Tian Deed that Fang Caigui gave her at the beginning, and when Da Niu came back for dinner in the evening, she put the Tian Deed in front of Da Niu.

"Here's for you."

Da Niu looked at her suspiciously, took Tian Qi, and immediately stood up.

"What do you want to do?" His facial lines tense with tension.

"Da Niu, you know, I'm not from here." Yun Yao smiled bitterly and pulled him to sit down again, "I'm going back." ”

Da Niu was silent, holding his hands on his knees for a long time, and only after a long time did he ask, "Are you still coming back?" ”

"Of course I'll be back." Yun Yao didn't hesitate at all. In the past, she thought about not coming back, but now that she has her own company, she has been inextricably linked to the Great Wilderness.

Her career is here, her friends are here, and the person who has taken her heart strongly...... Where can she say that she will never come back?

Da Niu pushed the deed back and said, "Since you have to come back, why are you giving this to me?" I can help you watch it, but you should keep the deed yourself. ”

Da Niu insisted on refusing to accept it, and Yun Yao's grange couldn't be sent, so he had to put it in his bag again.

Da Niu got her words, and finally stopped being nervous and anxious, and Yun Yao also began to think about how to shift the focus of her life to modern times.

She thought that harvesting rice was the end of her life in the wilderness, but who knew that all this was just the beginning. With the abundant harvest of rice, the whole world is surging, and people all the way to this originally inconspicuous town converge.
