Dozens of big men dug up an acre of land in the blink of an eye.

Wu Qing counted the number of sweet potatoes on the side, and the more he weighed the back, the more excited he became. In the end, he couldn't even remember how many he had counted. Fortunately, his son Wu Jinsheng was taking notes on the side.

At this time, everyone in the field stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people carrying the scales with excitement. They looked at the pile of sweet potatoes as high as a hill, and their hearts were a little pudder, this thing was so big and heavy that they knew it was very weighing with their toes.

Several masters in the village also came to the field to see the excitement when they received the news, and their eyes were full of wonder when they saw the pile of sweet potatoes like a hill. Is this an acre of real estate? That's too much, isn't it?

"Madam, a total of four thousand seven hundred and twenty pounds!" Wu Jinsheng thought that he had miscalculated, so he lowered his head and counted again, and then reported the number.

Coax! There was a commotion in the crowd, and Lu Rong took the lead in stepping forward and took the booklet in Wu Jinsheng's hand and read it.

There was a lot of talk around the people. "This sweet potato yield is really high!"

"Yes! With this in the future, we don't have to worry about going hungry! ”

Su Yan frowned, this sweet potato seed is cultivated with gourd water, and the yield is not as good as the yield of the modern detoxified sweet potato seedlings. But then she thought about it, this land was newly cultivated, and it was not like modern fertilizer. She also calmed down.

"Everyone's done a great job! Let everyone repay the taste of sweet potatoes today. ”

"Good!" Everyone cheered. Then they each took a hoe and buried their heads in digging sweet potatoes.

On the first day of digging sweet potatoes, in the end there were still a lot of sweet potatoes, Su Yan asked Aunt Li's daughter-in-law Wang Xiaohua to sort out the broken potatoes and cook for everyone at noon.

Wang Xiaohua took several little daughters-in-law, including her cousin Su Cui, to the field and picked up a few baskets of sweet potatoes with broken skin and missing horns.

At noon, everyone ate sweet potato cooked rice for the first time, everyone didn't expect this thing to be so delicious after cooking, everyone rushed to serve sweet potatoes, and the favorite rice on weekdays was not served, so they dug sweet potatoes into the pot to eat. In the end, everyone ate so much that they wanted to burst their stomachs.

After eating, everyone subconsciously glanced at the corn under the eaves when they were eating, and they all began to look forward to whether the corn tasted as delicious as sweet potatoes.

Digging a cellar is a big project, after all, hundreds of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes are stored in the cellar, and the place naturally cannot be small. And there was not much time, Chen Li took the twenty people to dig a cellar at the foot of the mountain behind the village, except for the first day to watch for a while, and then did not go to the field to help.

When the whole village was digging sweet potatoes, they were still digging cellars. In addition to the women who cooked, even the children in the village had to go down to the fields to collect sweet potatoes. Reclamation and glass making have stopped for a while.

Wu Qing also arranged for people to fertilize the 200 acres of new land opened here, in preparation for the next planting of sweet potatoes and corn.

There is no need to raise seedlings for planting sweet potatoes this time, and the sweet potato seedlings of the original six or seven acres of land have always grown. Just cut it down and plant it.

Su Yan asked the women in the village to start peeling corn kernels. She took fifty catties into the gourd space and raised seedlings in a few large vats. In just one night, the corn seedlings grew to more than half a foot long.

The strength of the population is great, and the sweet potatoes were dug in three to five days, and the villagers began to plant sweet potatoes on the new land.

Su Yan immediately took out the corn seedlings and planted them for everyone. This time corn and sweet potatoes are a variety of 100 acres.

As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the fields have to be watered in the morning and evening for the first few days of planting.

At this time, the cellar at the foot of the mountain had already been dug up, and everyone picked and picked the sweet potatoes, picked out the broken sweet potatoes, and put the good ones into the cellar.

The peeled corn kernels are also packed into vats that were fired before the matau and then placed in the cellar.

After everyone was busy, they really rested for five or six days before they were relieved. Next, in addition to watering and weeding sweet potatoes and corn every morning and evening, it is time to clean up the land where sweet potatoes were originally planted in the morning and evening.

It's only mid-July, and Su Yan still wants to plant another crop of corn in these nearly 200 acres of land.

Worried that the fertilizer in the field was not enough, Wu Qing led people to empty the fertilizer in more than a dozen pits and bury them all in the ground.

Then he burned a lot of sweet potato vines and threw them into a big pit of manure, and piled some chickens, ducks, pigs and cow dung together and covered them with branches to let it ferment.

There are countless sweet potato vines in the village, although a lot of them are burned, hundreds of chickens, ducks, seven cows and two pigs still can't eat so many sweet potato vines. Chen Li saw that there was no shortage of livestock to eat, so he hurriedly took a few people out of the village and brought back ten little pigs.

On the first day of applying base fertilizer to 200 acres of land, Su Yan took more than 100 catties of corn seedlings. Although there is a risk of exposure, in order for the corn to be harvested, she must do so that everyone's efforts will not be in vain.

The next day, everyone buried their heads in planting corn, although everyone was a little surprised that there were so many corn seedlings, but the first time Su Yan took it down from the mountain, no one suspected anything for a while. On the contrary, Gao Xing finally does not have so much empty land.

Su Yan was afraid that the fertilizer in the field was not enough, so when others were watering, she added a lot of gourd water to each bucket of water, which was the same as the original method, covered up with plant ash.

God also helped, not long after the corn was planted, it rained a few times, and the seedlings were completely erected. This time, I don't have to water the corn for days on end, as I did last time.

There are a lot of sweet potatoes that have been dug up, and the weather is hot, and they are not released, so Su Yan thought of grinding sweet potato flour. She told Su Cui the method and asked her to bring someone to grind sweet potato flour together. It's the same as the glass workshop, and some rewards are given, but because it's eaten by everyone, the rewards are not so high.

How could Su Cui disagree? That is, they can manage things, and they have money. She wished she could command people to do things.

After the bumper harvest, the villagers were all beaming with joy on their faces, although Su Yan had not eaten less before, but the harvest by herself and what others gave was two completely different feelings.

Panlong Mountain has a bumper harvest, Pei Jing and they naturally have to consider the safety of Panlong Mountain, the first of which is the loyalty of the people in the village. If the yield of this grain is spread, it will be a disaster.

Pei Jing said to Su Yan with concerns, "Let's have a commendation meeting!" They have worked hard for nearly a month, although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, we can still give them some bonuses, more work and more rewards, if they don't do well, we will also send a little bit, which is also our intention, isn't it? In this way, everyone has a greater sense of belonging to our Panlong Mountain, and everyone can understand that they will sign a confidentiality contract later. ”

"It's still my daughter-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, so I let Wu go in to organize."

To this end, Panlongzhai took the lead and organized people up and down the mountain to hold a mass meeting together. When the villagers heard about it, they were all very curious, and those who were lazy couldn't help but feel a little weak in their hearts. I'm afraid I'll be kicked out. But everyone has to go, and no one can escape.

After Wu Jin led people to ask about the performance of the people in the village, this commendation meeting began.

"It's been a hard month for everyone, and the work in the field has been done very well, and the owner of the village has decided to give everyone a bonus."

Before he could finish his words, the originally quiet crowd suddenly became excited. They thought it would be nice to be fed here!

"And the bonus?"

"Isn't it just in the workshop?"

"Quiet, all of you. More work, more reward, of course. You do things on weekdays, and everyone watches! As he spoke, Wu Jin took out a list. I will say one, and you will stand up. ”

"Zhao Da, Wang Dagen........." Wu Jin read more than thirty people in one breath.

These people are the first to rush to the front of the land, digging sweet potatoes seriously and rarely digging them, and the sun rises high and is not willing to leave the ground.

After reading the name, someone came over with a large box of copper coins.

According to Su Yan's salary in January, the first prize is a bonus of 300 wen per person. The others are 1500 for men, women and children, and 300 for children.
