In order to teach the women of the desert, Yu Shu deliberately slowed down the harvesting action.

While cutting, I explain to the woman in detail.

"When cutting, the blade of the scythe must remember to deviate a little down, hold the stalk tightly with the other hand, and pull the scythe hard, and a clump of ears of wheat can be cut neatly and cleanly."

"Your palms are bigger than our Jingren, so it stands to reason that it is no problem to hold five or six ears of wheat at a time. But if you can't hold it at first, then put it in three or four bushes. ”

"Actually, this is very simple, but you don't use it often, so it seems very clumsy. Come, now you can try it and see if it works. ”

After Yu Shu taught him two or three times, he gave up his position and gave the desolate women to try to cut it.

The fat woman was still the most active one, and when she saw that Yu Shu had stopped, she slowly started to follow Yu Shu's teachings.

It was a bit slow at first, but after a few more rows, the movement became faster.

There was also joy on their dark faces.

"It's a lot faster, and it's not easy to get into it. Quick, cut quickly, maybe we can finish it early today and come back sooner. ”

It is said that the deserted city is divided into three and ruled in pieces. But because there are less than 1,000 deserted people, Liaoyuan is actually not big, only as big as a slightly larger county town in later generations, but those lands are enough for deserted people to reclaim for many years.

No, in the first year, the area reclaimed by the barren people was only more than 6,000 acres, and although the harvest of the grain planted was not bad, it was still a little difficult for more than 1,000 people to eat for a year, after all, the grain harvest in this year was far inferior to that of later generations.

But compared to the days in the far north, or in the deserted city before, it is much better.

"I heard the young patriarch say, we don't need to hand over the grain and food we harvested this time to the Jing Army, all of it will be kept for our own food, and we will finally be able to eat a full meal this year. I told my father-in-law that I would have another child in the winter, otherwise we would be too old to have children. ”

The fat woman looked at the fruitful ears of wheat in her hand, and her dark face couldn't help but flush with a touch of ruddy, and said with contentment and longing.

A few women next to her joked at her, and some echoed her.

In the past two or three years, when they were in the far north, the birth rate of children in the entire clan was extremely low, and there were almost no people to feed, which was also the source of their gradual despair.

If it weren't for the young patriarch who suddenly came back and said that he had found a way to save the clan, they would probably still be waiting for death in the far north.

"Auntie, how did you get the grains off after you ears of wheat were cut?"

When the harvest was last year, Yu Shu was not there, and he didn't know how the soldiers collected the grain into the warehouse.

And on the Futao side, because she is here this year, the method of threshing wheat grains has changed, and the deserted city here doesn't know because Shen Chenxi hasn't been to Futao recently.

"How else can I get it? Of course, I hit the big rocks, and I went back at night and locked them in the house or beat them with a wooden bucket. ”

These are all things they learned from Jingren, although they are unfamiliar, but at least they can do it.

It's just that it's slow.

When Yu Shu heard this, he bowed his head, did not speak, and quietly stepped aside, waiting for Shen Chenxi's arrival.

He also came quickly, and when he saw Yu Shu and Chu Yu, he was stunned at first, and then happy.

"Sister Shu, Brother Chu, why are you here? At this time, isn't it also the busy time for Fu Tao's side? ”
