Chapter 201: One Acre and Four Stones
The king is the least modest cat, and meows triumphantly: "It's good that you know." ”
Ling Bao nodded repeatedly, rubbing his cheeks against the king's slippery hair, and squinted comfortably.
"Know, know, know."
Lingbao held his hands to stand up, and pressed his palms on the wheat stubble, a little panicked.
Cheng Jinxie helped her up left and right.
Lingbao took advantage of the situation and said: "Third brother, you go to rest on the road, be careful of itching on your body." ”
Cheng Jin's skin is delicate and a little sensitive to wheat crumbs, so it's okay to stay for a while, but if he stays for a day, he will itch again at night.
Cheng Jin nodded, but did not leave immediately, and bundled more than a dozen bundles without complaint before being driven away by Lingbao, who couldn't bear it.
"Third brother, go quickly, or I'll be angry!"
Lingbao is the best person in the world, but no one in the family dares to make her angry.
Cheng Jin obediently turned around and left.
I found that I had drunk all the water I brought, and after talking to Lingbao, I went home to fill the water.
At noon, the cook cooked, and at this time, Cheng Zhongqian was not polite, after all, he had to rush to harvest the wheat.
I got up at dawn in the morning, and I didn't stop until I worked all morning, at this time the sun was hanging high, and the people who were tanning were red and sweating, Cheng Zhongqian wiped the sweat on his face with the sweat towel on his shoulder, straightened up and exhaled.
It was so hot that his brain was buzzing.
"Shiziye, Second Master Cheng, take a break, it's time to eat." The cook screamed.
When they came back from the field, they first opened the bamboo tube and drank half a tube of water, which was salted and could relieve the heat.
The chef also made mung bean soup, which was also a relief from the heat, and deliberately added ice cubes, and after a bite, the whole person was refreshed.
In the summer harvest, you have to eat some top food, a pot of egg noodles, more than 20 pancakes, fried meat, fried tofu, and a cold shredded radish.
"Half the size, eat the poor man." Cheng Zhongqian sighed.
Fortunately, I don't eat like this every day, otherwise I really can't afford to raise it.
Cheng Yi swallowed the last bite of cake with gravy, burped, touched his stomach and said, "Ah, I'm so full." ”
After eating and drinking, I began to feel sleepy.
Ling Bao yawned and rubbed his eyes: "Daddy, I'm sleepy." ”
"Would you like to take you home and go to sleep?" Cheng Zhongqian held her in his arms and subconsciously patted her back with his palm.
Ling Bao shook his head, his eyes were almost closed, and muttered, "Don't go back...... Just sleep here......
Cheng Zhongqian put her in the shade of a tree and covered her with the coat he had taken off.
In fact, it's okay not to cover it, after all, the sun is so big.
Cheng Zhongqian rested for a while, then got up again and continued, so did Cheng Yun, Cheng Yi was too full and a little sleepy, and woke up after squinting for about a quarter of an hour, yawning to help.
I worked until the sun went down, and then I hurried home slowly.
Ling Bao and Cheng Jin, who were the easiest to do, took off their shoes, and their little feet stepped on the legs of their father and brother's backs, which was regarded as a massage.
"Ouch yo yo yo - baby girl, lighten up, you want your father's life?" Cheng Zhongqian gasped.
Ling Bao laughed embarrassedly, knelt on the bed, and used his small fist instead.
Cheng Zhongqian closed his eyes: "Hey, this strength is right......"
This day was so tired that Cheng Zhongqian fell asleep after a while, snoring and sleeping deeply.
The same is true for Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi.
Lingbao took Cheng Jin's hand, and the two left quietly and went to sleep.
The next day it was dawn again, and the sun went down and came back, and I slept as soundly as a pig every night.
Gleaning the ears of wheat, playing the field, raising the field...... They were all done last year, and the only difference is that no matter what you do this year, it will attract the whole village to watch.
When loading wheat, Cheng Zhongqian was forcibly suppressing his boiling mood.
Generally speaking, one acre of land can have a harvest of two or three stones, which is already excellent. However, after the flood in Beihe Village, the fields have not yet recovered their strength, and last year, let alone three stones, two stones were a minority, and most of them were only about one stone eight or one stone nine.
But this year, the harvest of one acre of land of the Cheng family is as high as four stones!
To be exact, it's two buckets with four stones!
It is extremely rare in the entire Great Xia Kingdom!
Anyway, the villagers of Beihe Village have planted the land all their lives, and they have never seen such a high harvest.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Cheng Yi pinched his father's arm without hesitation, and he was ruthless, and Cheng Zhongqian's face was distorted in pain, but he was not angry.
"Daddy, it's not a dream, it's all true!" Lingbao said happily, "Our fertilizer is so powerful!" ”
Cheng Zhongqian was almost stupid with joy.
Four stones, four stones!
That's four stones!!
Even if you still have to dry the wheat later, there will be less moisture, but it won't be less!
Cheng Yun said with a smile: "Dad, calm down." ”
"I can't calm down!" Cheng Zhongqian said very quickly, "If it can be promoted, the people's harvest will more than double, and their lives will be much better!" ”
Unconsciously, Cheng Zhongqian changed from the noble son who only cared about himself to this person who was almost so excited that he fainted because he thought that the people's lives could be better.
Beihe Village will be the first village to benefit!
When the village chief came to register, he saw the smiling and proud people, and he had a guess in his heart.
He swallowed his saliva: "Cheng Xiucai, how many stones is an acre in your house?" ”
Cheng Zhongqian said with a smile: "Not much, not much, just four stones." ”
It's like cold water in a pan of oil, and it explodes with a crackle.
"What's that? Cheng Xiucai, how much do you say? Four stones?! ”
"Really? Cheng Xiucai, do you really have so many in your family? Our family is only two stones per acre! ”
The village chief was drowned out in the tide of sound after saying two words, and yelled: "Shut up for me!" ”
When everyone shut up, he asked nervously: "Cheng Xiucai, are there really so many?" ”
Cheng Zhongqian smiled: "Can this still be fake?" ”
"Yes, yes, what I'm asking is nonsense, everyone knows that Cheng Xiucai is not a fool!" The village chief was also stupid, "How many are there?" ”
Twenty acres, one acre and four stones, that is...... The village chief will not count!
He looked at Cheng Zhongqian blankly.
Cheng Yun said: "Eighty stones." ”
"Yes, yes, eighty stones! I'm a Jade Emperor, God......" The village chief felt that he was stunned by this number.
After repeating it several times, the village chief suddenly rolled his eyes and fell backwards.
“......”
"The village chief fainted!"
"Pinch the man!"
Lingbao's family was startled, but fortunately, the village chief had nothing to do, but he was sunburned, and he was too excited, so he fainted, and woke up after pinching the middle of the people.
