Zhu Xiaohua explained: "Like your family to cut wheat, how long does it take to cut an acre of land? ”

The man thought for a moment and replied, "Two to three days." ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "If you use a harvester, it will only take 20 minutes. And after harvesting, it directly turns into wheat grains. ”

Everyone can't imagine the wheat turning into wheat grains after cutting, and usually everyone cuts the wheat home, and then spreads it on the playground and dries it while grinding it with stones. The whole process takes at least ten days and half a month to turn into wheat grains.

A man standing on the edge of the playground, holding a wooden stick in his hand, imitated Zhu Xiaohua to play "earthy golf", hitting the red ball on the ground one after another.

In the past few days, everyone has gone to the venue where Zhu Xiaohua has played to play local golf. Even the adults from the next village came to play.

Everyone was curious about this novel way of playing.

The man waved the stick in his hand and asked, "Is that really that godly?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Of course. ”

Liu Daqiang also became interested in harvesters and asked: "If you use a harvester to cut wheat, how much will you harvest per acre?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "If you pay the public grain now, one acre of land is more than 100 catties." If you harvest and thresh your own wheat, the loss should not be small. ”

Liu Daqiang calculated the account, if he cuts wheat every year, there will be a lot of wheat ears lost in the field, plus the loss caused by stone rolling on the way back and forth, and at least more than ten catties will be lost per acre of land.

If you use a harvester, the loss in the middle of this journey will be gone, which is equivalent to more than 10 catties of grain per mu.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "That's right, the use of harvesters not only saves time and effort, but also reduces unnecessary losses on the way, increasing more than ten catties per mu." ”

Liu Daqiang asked: "How much does it cost to use a harvester?" ”

According to his expectations, the fee must be more than the price of ten catties of wheat.

Zhu Xiaohua thought for a while, raised six fingers, and reported a number.

"Six?"

"Six pounds of wheat?"

Everyone speculated.

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head and said, "Liumao." ”

"Really only six cents?"

Zhu Xiaohua nodded: "If you use wheat, it only takes three and a half catties." ”

"Six cents per acre, or three and a half catties of wheat."

In this era, the price of a pound of wheat was about one dime and eight cents. Three and a half catties of wheat is more than six cents, which is slightly more than giving money directly, because it also requires a lot of loss to turn wheat into cash.

Overall, this is a reasonable price setting.

Liu Daqiang said in surprise: "In this way, if we use harvesters, we farmers can only make money and not lose money." Subtracting the cost of the harvester, we collect more than six catties per mu. It also saves a lot of time and manpower. ”

Zhu Xiaohua praised and said: "It is worthy of being a 10,000-yuan household, and you will understand it as soon as you say it." ”

Hearing Liu Daqiang say this, several people also gathered around: "Won't you pay for such a charge?" ”

Repay?

Zhu Xiaohua naturally will not lose, in this era, the price of oil is very cheap, and the price of gasoline per kilogram is between one and a half cents.

The daily consumption of the harvester is only gasoline.

Subtracting the gasoline consumption, if the harvested area is large enough, he will soon be able to earn back the money of the harvester.

Zhu Xiaohua is only now deeply aware of the benefits brought by the industrial revolution, because machines can indeed make people's lives better. More grain is harvested per mu, the harvesting cost is lower, and a lot of time and labor are saved.

For both parties to the transaction, there is no harm in all benefits.

Liu Daqiang said: "In this case, I will take the lead, starting with my family's wheat field." ”

Several other households saw that Liu Daqiang wanted to use a harvester, and they also expressed their willingness to join.

However, these people all said that they had no money and could only use wheat to deduct it.

Zhu Xiaohua has no opinion. Although wheat is a bit troublesome, it is also valuable and more suitable for many farmers who are not willing to spend money.

Zhang Shui's family was silent, and his two sons sat under the pergola, crossed Erlang's legs, shook their fans, and looked indifferent.

Apparently they were still unhappy about losing the brick kiln.

Zhu Xiaohua chatted with them for a while, until the TV started, and everyone's attention ran to the TV.

When advertisements were inserted in the middle of the TV series, Zhu Xiaohua said goodbye to them.

The next day, Zhu Xiaohua and Captain Xiao appeared on time at the edge of the wheat field with a harvester.

One of them drove the harvester, and the other guided the front, taking turns cutting the wheat. Watching the rows of golden wheat fall in front of the harvester and quickly turn into wheat grains, the two of them felt extremely happy.

Liu Daqiang and the villagers of Luoshui Village, wearing straw hats and long-sleeved clothes, stood on the edge of the field, happily watching the behemoth move back and forth in the field.

In just a moment, the wheat field, which was once lush with vegetation, turned bare.

When the harvester stopped, everyone ran to the funnel of the harvester to look, only to see that it was full of golden and plump grains, and they couldn't help but shout amazingly.

"Sure enough, as you said, there really is such a powerful machine!"

After harvesting more than five acres of land in Liu Daqiang's family, Liu Daqiang directly paid more than three yuan.

This was the first money the harvester had made, and it only took half an hour before and after.

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but imagine that if he made money at such a rate, he could earn 60 to 80 yuan a day.

Six hundred to eight hundred in ten days.

Six thousand to eight thousand in one hundred days.

A hundred days is enough to earn back the money for this harvester.

In this way, the more than 4,000 yuan that the farm owes to the distribution agency is not so terrible. Repayments are only made in an instant.

And the brick kiln is still producing a steady stream of red bricks......

After harvesting Liu Daqiang's wheat field, next to it was the wheat field of the other two villagers.

Captain Xiao had itchy hands, so he replaced Zhu Xiaohua, drove the harvester, and went into the wheat field to have a good time.

The rumbling machine roared, rows of wheat fell, and for more than half an hour, the wheat field turned bare.

These villagers couldn't come up with the money, so they all used wheat to deduct it, and Zhu Xiaohua didn't care about it, and took it all.

Zhu Xiaohua took out a notebook and asked the villagers to write down how many acres of land their families had and how much wheat they had handed over.

Captain Xiao was a little strange and asked, "What are you doing here, just harvest the wheat and it's over." ”

Zhu Xiaohua smiled mysteriously: "This is bound to be useful." ”

The registered villagers said while registering: "This Zhu Xiaohua is too careful. The wheat is all for you, remember what this thing is for. ”

However, they said it verbally, but they still wrote it down one by one in their hands.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a matter of minutes.

When the two returned to the farm in the evening, the harvester was tied with sacks full of wheat.

Back in the yard, Zhu Xiaohua weighed the wheat for more than 300 catties.

Looking at the cash received, there were more than fifteen yuan.

According to the overall estimate, the income from harvesting wheat for the villagers today is about 70 yuan a day.

Captain Xiao was also quite surprised: "Only six cents are charged for an acre of land, but you can collect so much money?" ”

More than seventy yuan is already his salary income for two months.
