Chapter 106: Autumn Harvest
Tang Zhian glanced at Lin Qiu'er, "Daughter-in-law, if you are tired, take a break, this work is very tiring." ”
Lin Qiu'er shook her head, "It's okay, I can move." ”
The people in the village came to the field early, and every household was busy harvesting crops, Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er didn't come early, and Lin Qiu'er couldn't do it when they were working, so Tang Zhi'an sped up.
Lin Qiu'er herself is also working hard, but neither she nor the original owner in this life has ever done farm work, so there is really no way to improve her speed.
Lin Qiu'er wondered if she was going to hire some short-term workers, but before she could say this, she saw a group of people walking towards them.
Lin Qiu'er looked at it curiously and found that it was Shopkeeper Lin who came over with someone, and she hurriedly spoke, "Ah Zhi, do you see if that's Shopkeeper Lin?" ”
Hearing her words, Lin Zhi'an raised his head and glanced at it, and nodded, "That's right, it's him, but I don't know what he's doing here?" ”
Lin Qiu'er saw the people following behind the shopkeeper Lin, and probably had a guess in her heart, and sure enough, when she looked not far away, she found that this group of people was followed by a carriage.
Gradually, the people in the field saw the group of people, and they all looked at them curiously, and they all forgot to hurry up and work.
After a while, Shopkeeper Lin led those people to them, "Brother Tang, brother and sister, have you already started working?" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and nodded, "Yes, we only have one labor force in our family, Ah Zhi, and I can't do it at all, so I have to come early." ”
Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "Then it's really time for me to come, no, these people I brought are here to help you." ”
Tang Zhian was a little puzzled, "You're here to help us?" ”
Shopkeeper Lin explained, "Yes, isn't this what you said before that fish farming in rice fields can increase production? Our master hurried over, thinking that he would see that you had collected all the grain, and then weigh it to see if it could really increase production. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qiu'er smiled, it was the same as what she thought in her heart, this Lin Qiuxu must want to know if this rice field can increase fish production, if this is reported, it will be a great achievement!
Of course, this is for them and nobles, and it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse for their ordinary people, so she is also willing to let Lin Qiuxu receive the credit.
At least after he receives the credit, he will understand in his heart that he owes their family a favor, and if he really asks him for something in the future, I believe Lin Qiuxu will not ignore it.
She is willing to do it in exchange for a favor that may bring trouble to her family, of course, she is also willing to benefit the people in this way, and it is also very good to be able to wait for some benefits now.
Tang Zhian nodded, "Well, thank you so much." ”
Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile: "You're welcome, these are the long-term workers on our owner's Zhuangzi, and they are all good at farm work, I brought twenty people, and your land can be completed soon." ”
After the shopkeeper Lin finished speaking, he asked these people to come to help with the work, and the people in the village were very envious when they heard this.
Several families who were closer to each other heard clearly what Shopkeeper Lin said, while the others didn't hear clearly, but seeing that these people had gone to the field to help Tang Zhi'an's family, they all felt that Tang Zhi'an's family was really lucky.
Raising fish in the rice fields makes a lot of money, and they usually do business, and the tofu at home is now well-known, but the result?
There are still people who come to help in the autumn harvest, so twenty strong laborers have come, and the land in Tang Zhi'an's house can be finished in less than one morning.
With these people, Lin Qiu'er naturally didn't have to work anymore, ten of these people followed Tang Zhi'an to cut the rice together, and the rest of the people picked the cut rice to the drying field.
The location of the drying field at the entrance of the village is still some distance from their house, but there are many people, so the field is cut, some people pick rice, and their land has been finished in the morning.
At lunchtime, Lin Qiu'er wanted to cook for these people, but the shopkeeper Lin waved his hand and left with them, and the two of them tried their best to keep them to no avail.
Lin Qiu'er went home to cook, Tang Zhian turned over all his rice in the drying field, the sun is so big, tomorrow it will be dried for another day, and the day after tomorrow you can thresh rice.
After lunch, the two rested at home for a while, and when the hottest time passed, the two of them hurried to the field with a large kettle of water.
In the morning, they were lucky, this shopkeeper Lin brought someone to help, but this afternoon, this wheat, they should not come, Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an thought so in their hearts.
Who knew that they had just been working in the field for a while, and this shopkeeper Lin came over with someone again, Lin Qiu'er said with some doubts: "Shopkeeper Lin, our family's rice has been harvested." ”
Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "I know, aren't you guys that haven't finished harvesting wheat yet?" ”
Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er were a little embarrassed, this rice came to help because Lin Qiuxu wanted to know the yield, and they accepted it, but this wheat had nothing to do with them, and they still came to help, which was a little puzzling.
Shopkeeper Lin continued: "Our relationship is now not only a cooperative relationship, it can be said to be a friend, since this is the case, it is also appropriate to help you." ”
The words have already been said to this point, Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an can only nod, "Thank you very much." ”
Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "You're welcome." ”
In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, these were all ordered by his own owner, and it stands to reason that this matter can be handed over to other people, and he doesn't need to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant at all.
The owner sent him, and even if he came, all they needed was the yield of rice, Tang Zhi'an's rice had already been finished, and they didn't need to come, but the owner still brought them.
It was not his turn to speculate on what the owner was thinking, so he could only do what he said.
In the afternoon, he came with someone again, just to help Tang Zhi'an's family cut wheat.
"Brother Tang, don't think about it, our master also wants to know earlier if your family's rice production has really increased, and you don't have to think about it when I come to help you."
Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er thanked them with a smile, and cut their wheat in one afternoon, and in such a day, all the crops in Tang Zhi'an's field were recovered.
The people in the village are really envious, their crops are the first to be harvested, so there are still a lot of free places on the drying field, which is a great benefit, and they spread out all their crops.
In the evening, they left, and Shopkeeper Lin also said that Lin Qiuxu and Shopkeeper Lin would come over again when they were going to threshing the day after tomorrow.
Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an already knew this, so they hurriedly agreed, and said that they would count the number when the time came.
