Next to the pigsty behind the house, the three mothers looked at the four fat little piglets with glowing eyes.

"Oh yo, it's so good to eat, look at that little nose, look at that mouth, I really like people."

She only dared to look at it, and she didn't dare to go in and touch it.

The four little piglets were sleeping, but they were woken up by the three mothers, and they got up with a hum, this arched the other, and that blocked the way of the other.

The four little piglets were like headless flies, turned around and urinated, and then turned their heads to eat.

The pigsty, which had just been repaired, was clean and dirty overnight by the little piglets.

This is a good material for composting, raising pigs is not only used to kill and eat meat, but also for composting.

The grain production capacity here in Tangjia Village is not very good.

The yield of wheat per mu is only 200 catties, and the yield per mu is 300 catties in other high places.

Compared with the yield per mu in the previous life, it is too inferior!

But think about it, in the previous life, water conservancy was better, and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and varieties all played an important role.

The ground is more fertile, and the kind that comes out is better.

In the past life, many scientists have studied various varieties of food crops, and the crop production capacity has also been improved to a higher level.

Now the water conservancy in Tangjia Village is not very good, there is not much fertilizer, at most cow dung, grass ash, or dead leaves and manure.

Weeding is also completely manual, and the efficiency is slow to use a shovel to weed.

One more important is the harvester.

In the previous life, the harvester was already automatic harvesting, one acre of land could be harvested quickly, and many acres of land could be harvested in one day, and it was estimated that only a few harvesters were needed for two thousand acres, and so many people were not needed at all.

Nowadays, the wheat is completely harvested by hand, and threshing is also very troublesome, the time is long, the efficiency is slow, and it takes many days for all the people in a village to go to work.

First the wheat was cut by hand, then the wheat was bundled, and then the sheaves were pulled out with oxen and other bundles.

All the wheat is gathered in the pre-prepared wheat field, and then the oxen pull the stone stone and thresh it in circles.

The stone stone was rolled a few times, and then manually used a large fork, the kind taller than a person, to turn the wheat straw little by little.

Then the ox pulled the stone and rolled it a few times, and then continued to turn it with a large fork.

After a few rounds, the wheat is almost threshed, and the wheat straw can be picked up and piled up together, forming a three-dimensional shape in the shape of a small house, standing one by one around the wheat field.

The straw was fed to cattle and donkeys before being distributed to the people of the village to make fires, but only a small portion was distributed.

The people of Tangjia Village, as well as other nearby villages, will first go to the mountains and forests to get firewood, and after harvesting the wheat, they can actually prepare firewood for winter.

Ye Yan wore old clothes, cotton gloves on his hands, a mask, a towel around his neck to wipe his sweat, a straw hat on his head to shade the sun, and a large kettle to fill it with water.

She also prepared a set of equipment for Li He.

When harvesting wheat, the hands will foam, and the original owner's body will not be good in the first place.

Masks are worn because harvesting wheat kicks up dust and inhales it into the nose.

The people in the village are all croppers, they are used to it, they don't pay attention to anything, besides, the gloves and masks cost money, and they are reluctant.

Ye Yan packed up this set of equipment, but he was stunned by the three mothers.

Where had she seen this outfit?

"Yezi, can you breathe when you wear this thing?"

Ye Yan smiled slightly, and then prepared one as well: "When harvesting wheat, the dust will enter the nostrils, and then enter the lungs. And this mask is washable, just wash it when it's dirty. ”

The three mothers saw that there were good things to collect, and accepted them with a smile.

The wheat harvest is a rush, and no one can be lazy, after all, it is about their rations.

I don't come back to rest at noon, and I even have to stay up late at night to cut wheat, and as for eating, most of them are simply eating.

The whole village had to go up with them, except for the old ones who couldn't walk, those who had just given birth and couldn't get off the ground, and the very young children, everyone else would go to the fields.

The heavy work is done by men, most of the women are harvesting wheat, and children will go to the field after harvesting wheat to pick up ears of wheat and wheat grains and take them home, if they are good, they can get a hundred pounds of wheat grains, but this bit of food is still not enough to eat.

More than 1,000 people were busy working, and if they were to cut the wheat alone, it would be quite fast, but they still needed to be harvested, and the wheat had to be rolled on stones, turned over, and dried.

Therefore, there are less than 300 people left who actually use the wheat harvest.

Three hundred people harvested 2,000 acres of wheat by hand, and an average of six acres per person.

Obediently, Ye Yan was a little frightened just thinking about it.

Because of the geographical location of their Tangjia Village, they can only divide more than 2,000 acres, and on average, it is only two acres of land per person.

In some places, you can average 20 acres of land per person, and think about how big the land is and how tiring it is.

As long as the wheat harvest season comes, no matter what you are doing outside, you must go home and harvest the wheat.

Ye Yan and Li He packed up and set off directly.

The two little ones pulled weeds on the wasteland behind the house and fed them to the chickens and rabbits, and as for the pigsty, Ye Yan didn't dare to let them in.

Although the four little piglets are still relatively small, the two little ones are also quite small, and it is very dangerous if there is a small war between the two little cubs.

Ye Yan specially told the two little guys that when Ye Yan and Li He were at home, they would take them to the pigsty to see the little piglets.

By the time Ye Yan arrived at the meeting place, the sky was also bright, and many people had already begun to get busy.

A few men took the sickles, found a random place, and began to harvest.

Ye Yan is infinitely yearning for the past life of an automatic harvester.

Holding a sickle in his right hand and a handful of wheat stalks in his left hand, he then pulled the sickle at the bottom of the wheat straw and pulled it hard, with a stabbing sound, and a small handful of wheat was harvested.

Ye Yan looked at those wheat grains, they were not very full, no wonder there were only two hundred catties per acre of land, and there was not much left except for the rations handed in.

The grain distribution in Tangjia Village seems to be only six taels, and it is less than 20 catties a month, which includes coarse grains and fine grains.

Just imagine, in the era when there are no non-staple foods, there is only food to eat, there is no oil and water, and it is difficult to eat enough.

It is even more difficult to do manual work, and there are many hungry and faint, which is why there are very few fat people in this era, and why the older generation likes the big grandson who is fat in vain, which means that the family has a good life and is very dignified to say.

Even if you are wearing cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, you can still feel the wheat stubble piercing your feet, especially after the scythe is harvested, revealing a sharp fracture, you can use a weapon, and anyone who does not stand firm and falls down can poke a hole.

Everyone is harvesting wheat in full swing, and no one comes to find fault, and no one says that Ye Yan is a disaster.

It's really interesting, you can use you, you're a baby, you don't need you, you're nothing!

Ye Yan's body was already a little bad, just harvested for an hour, and her waist was almost straight, so she stood up, beat her back, drank saliva, and looked up at the people working around her.

never thought that at such a moment, there were still people staring at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems that they are going to find a time to find fault again, Ye Yanke just thought that no one would come to find fault, so she should rest and rest.
