Chapter 214: Ox Plow
Time is slow and fast.
In the blink of an eye, it is August, and the villagers are busy again, ploughing, fertilizing, furrowing, and sowing which does not require time and energy?
The Great Xia Dynasty implemented the division of land according to the population, and after the man became a man, he could get 20 acres, and the woman was halved.
At this time, it is important to pay attention to "parents are here, not separated from the family", one is to be filial to the old and support relatives, and the other is to work according to the family, and only one person is needed without separating the family, and a large family of brothers and sisters will take turns to go, after all, labor is really going to die!
This is also easy to cause a phenomenon, even if the family is not separated, so many fields at home cannot be planted.
Labor and fertilizer are limited, so there is a saying that "plant less and harvest more".
You are tired and tired to plant all the land, but the soil strength can't keep up, and you haven't concentrated on planting a piece to harvest much, isn't that a vain?
Therefore, it is better to be less and precise, not more and sloppy.
But this year is different, those who have spare energy have decided to plant all the fields at home, and they are now people with fertilizer!
Not ordinary!
Moreover, they are using Cheng Xiucai's grain this year!
That's right, as early as after the summer harvest, the village chief went to Cheng Zhongqian with a shy face to change the grain seeds, saying that it was one to one, but he definitely had to give more.
Later, I don't know who heard about it, and I followed it to change, and then the whole village.
It is also thanks to the fact that the Cheng family has a lot of grain left, otherwise it will not be enough for his own family. The villagers are not all changed at once, just enough to plant three or four acres, seven or eight acres.
It was not until this time that Han Dahu and the Wu couple discovered that many of their wheat seeds had worms!
Because the Cheng family harvested a lot during the summer harvest, they were both envious and jealous, their minds were not on the right path, and they were full of irritability when they were drying seeds, and they felt that they would put it away when it was almost over, and there was still excess water, wouldn't it be insects?
Someone passed by their door, heard a quarrel coming from inside, and you blame me, I blame you, shook their heads and left.
Ling Bao watched excitedly as the second brother took the ox out, this year they can plow the land with the ox!
The king flew up with a "whoosh", squatting on Xiao Huang's body, his head raised, the cat's eyes squinted slightly, and the breeze gently blowing, revealing a momentum that looks at the world.
Xiao Huang froze suddenly, feeling that a mountain was pressing on his body, his four hooves were weak, and he wanted to follow his instinct and collapse to his knees.
Cheng Yi was suddenly pulled, looked back, and said, "King, why are you bullying Xiaohuang again?"
The king glanced at him condescendingly and meowed.
What do you know? This is not called bullying, this is called suppression!
The suppression of ordinary animals by divine beasts!
I didn't understand, Cheng Yi raised his hand to Lingbao: "Lingbao, go on!"
Ling Bao ran over, tilted his head and persuaded, "King, don't deliberately scare Xiao Huang, we still have to work."
After finishing speaking, she immediately added, "You are the most important meow king in my heart."
The king snorted twice, and after taking away the coercion on his body, Xiao Huang slowly stopped shaking and was able to take a step.
Tie the body of the cart to the scalper, and then carry all the tools that need to be used, and a few children sit at the back of the cart, their calves drooping, swaying comfortably. ….
This year, Beihe Village has been ploughing early, and there are already many people in the field.
Lingbao and the others took down the farm tools, led Xiao Huang to the field, and put on the plow. The plough is a horizontal log with multiple side-by-side sharp irons inserted into it.
There is only one pair of plows at home, and this thing is quite expensive, plus there is only one cow at home, and a pair is enough to plow the land earlier, so I didn't buy it again, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi took turns to support the plow.
Lingbao Cheng Jin also wanted to share the burden for his brothers, but even if there were cows, it would not be so easy for the two little radish heads.
Ling Bao pouted and looked at it with a blank eye.
Cheng Yun smiled and pinched her soft face, and said, "When it's time to fertilize and sow seeds, you guys will come to help again, okay?"
"Okay.
」
Cheng Jin also nodded.
The two sat on the ridge to play Huarong Dao, and some children came over curiously to play together, and Cheng Jin showed them how to play.
Hua Rong said that he had played many times, and he was very handy at playing, moving the flags at such a fast speed that the other children were dazzled.
When you come to your senses, huh? Wasn't Cao Cao in the innermost just now? How did it come out?
Cheng Jin raised his eyes: "Do you understand?"
「......」
"Understood, isn't it just to let Cao Cao come out!"
That's right, Cheng Jin nodded and added, "Try to use the fewest steps."
"Okay, I'll try."
"I want to try it too!"
Cheng Jin glanced at Lingbao: "Sister, do you want to play now?"
If Lingbao plays now, then they can only wait for a while.
Ling Bao shook his head, and Cheng Jin gave Hua Rong Dao to them.
What kind of stones and hopscotch do country children usually play with, and there are few toys, so when they take Huarong Dao, they excitedly gather to the side, noisy and chattering.
"No, no, it's not right, it should go this, and then this ......."
"Oh, you can't play, or I'll play first, right?"
"Shut up, I'll play myself!"
Today's sun is warm, but it is not sunny, and with a slight breeze, it blows very comfortably.
Lingbao raised his head to the sky, like a small grass absorbing the sun.
Cheng Jin turned his head to look at her, and suddenly found that her side face was a little familiar, and before he could remember, Ling Bao suddenly screamed "oops".
Cheng Jinxin mentioned it and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lingbao raised his finger, and there was a caterpillar lying on the head of the fleshy finger, and he didn't know where it came from.
Cheng Jin subconsciously frowned and dodged back, he didn't like these soft things.
Ling Bao smiled and said, "Third brother, don't be afraid, it's just a caterpillar worm that won't bite."
"I'm not afraid." Cheng Jin corrected seriously, "I just don't like it."
Ling Bao grinned and threw the caterpillar away from the place, and spread his little hand: "It's gone."
Cheng Jin smiled slightly, Ling Bao suddenly came over, poked the corners of his mouth with two fingers, blinked his big eyes and said, "Third brother, smile more, you look good when you smile!"
Cheng Jin retorted in a low voice: "I have a smile."
"A little more, I especially like to see the third brother laugh." Ling Bao spread his hands and said in an exaggerated tone, "I like that so much!"
Cheng Jin pursed his mouth and couldn't help laughing: "I know."
A little embarrassed, Cheng Jin's eyes moved to the eldest brother and second brother who were plowing the land.
Plough the land but also fertilize, fortunately the car can complete the ditching and sowing at the same time, and a person and a cow, you can plant a hectare a day, but also cover the soil and roll, in one fell swoop, save time and effort, the efficiency is considerable.
Even after sowing, the soil must be rolled tightly with a stone tuo to cover the seeds, so that the wheat seeds can germinate.
It would be nice if there was a kind of farming tool that could both ditch and sow seeds, fertilize and cover the soil.
Cheng Jin's heart moved, there is no now, it doesn't mean that there can't be!.
