Chapter 47: Farming (2nd Watch)
Gu Yunjie didn't care what the people in the village thought of her running outside in the morning, at this time, she was sitting at the dining table and eating the breakfast that her grandmother made for them.
A bowl of eggs in sugar water for one person, stir-fried vegetables and white rice.
It's not the same as the modern breakfast model. I must eat rice for breakfast here in the morning, and after eating rice, I will have the energy to work at noon.
If you drink porridge or something in the morning, it won't take long for you to digest, and you won't have the strength to work.
Gu Lanshi looked at Chu San with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you eat more, raise your body a little stronger, you see our Yunjie, we have been practicing since dawn, and we are not tired." ”
Chu San was eating sugar water eggs, listening to Gu Lan's words, he responded with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm exercising." ”
"That's good, that's good." Gu Lanshi laughed.
Gu Yunjie listened to her grandmother's words, combined with the expression on her milk's face, what the old lady had in her heart, she knew best: "Milk, you are not afraid that he will be in good health, so he will run away." ”
"You kid, you can't run. Xiao Chu is not the ungrateful person, is what Grandma Xiao Chu said right? "The worst outcome is that Xiao Chu dies in their house, which is the last thing she wants to see.
"Milk, I haven't thought about running or anything yet, I just want to exercise well, live longer, and I can help with any help at home, instead of watching from the sidelines." Chu Santing likes his current life, and he will talk about it later, and he doesn't want to think about it too much.
After eating, Gu Lanshi asked Gu Yunjie to go down to the ground with her, and let Chu San stay to watch the house.
After Gu Yunjie fed the ingots with medicine and nutrients once, she went to the ground with Gu Lan's family. There are five acres of paddy fields and one acre of dry land.
Wuxian County belongs to the south and mainly grows rice.
There is no way to compare the rice of the present era with the rice of the twenty-first century. She asked on the way to the field, and the yield per mu was about two or three hundred catties.
Five acres of paddy fields at home, without natural disasters, the harvest will not exceed 1,500 catties, and the field endowment must be handed over, and the final hand may be about 1,000.
In fact, it is rare to have a yield of 300 catties per mu, and most of the time it is around 200, so that there will be fewer rations in hand.
"Milk, there are four people in our family now, how much is the annual ration?" Gu Yunjie lived in a hidden rural area with Grandpa Yao when she was a child, and she knew some things about farming, but what she knew in modern times would definitely not be used now.
"Your amount of food has always been not small, your father and Chu San are men, their rations must not be saved, and at least about 1,000 catties of rice will be required for a year."
"One hundred catties of millet can take off more than sixty catties of rice, which is about 1,500 catties of rice." Yun Jie quickly figured it out.
"Almost."
"In this way, if the harvest is not good, it will not be enough for the family to eat."
"Last year's harvest was not good, and the rice we eat now is all bought by your father, and our family has long run out of food." Last year, there was a flood, which flooded a lot, and only less than 1,000 catties of rice were harvested after two crops.
Soon, Yun Jie arrived at her paddy field.
Their family has several paddy fields, and they are not very far from each other.
I sighed in my heart, it would be nice if there were modern rice seeds in the laboratory, she planted some here, and increased the yield, and she would not have to worry about not enough rations.
"When will the seeds be planted?"
"In a few days, we will be able to plant the seeds, and we will first turn over the fields and remove the weeds from the paddy fields." As he spoke, Gu Lanshi pinched his trouser leg and went down to the field.
Looking at Gu Lan's artificial hoeing and turning over the soil, Gu Yunjie was dumbfounded: "Milk, ploughing is not about oxen." ”
With cow pear land, it must be much faster than artificial.
Gu Lanshi glanced at her: "Yesterday I was still thinking, maybe you can buy a cow and come back to help the family spring planting, who would have thought that you would buy a horse directly and come back." ”
It's almost spring planting season, and if you have a cow at home, your life will be much easier.
Yesterday, Liu Shishi analyzed with her, saying that the cow could help the family work, and asked her to buy the cow's head back, she didn't listen to the persuasion, and fell in love with the ingots at a glance.
This will be weak-hearted, hehe laughed: "It's a big deal, I'll go to the county tomorrow to buy a cow and come back." ”
Buying a cow is only a matter of a dozen taels of silver.
Gu Lanshi didn't want to talk to her granddaughter anymore, she was too tired.
That's not how money is spent at home.
"Otherwise, let's rent it from Uncle Liu's house for a few days." Gu Yunjie thought that she had thought of a good way.
"You can try this, I'll ask later." Gu Lanshi thought about it for a while and felt that it was okay.
Buying a cow and coming back has to take care of it every day, which is also a trouble.
After working in the field for a noon, Gu Yunjie felt that her waist was no longer hers, and she couldn't support it at all. Fortunately, I ate rice in the morning, so I was not hungry. If you eat other easily digestible food, you will work here for a long time, and your chest will be pressed against your back when you are hungry.
No, she has to invent a tool for plowing the ground, and if she has a tool to take advantage of it, she can greatly save labor.
Liu Shishi's family was plowing, and on the way back, she took a special look to see what the ploughing was like in this era, and whether it was the same as modern times.
"Uncle Liu." Gu Yunjie grinned at Liu Shishi: "Have you started doing farm work today?" ”
"Isn't there no ox cart today? I thought I'd quickly plow a paddy field and sow the seeds. ”
Liu Shishi's way of plowing the land is not much different from that of modern ones, using curved ape ploughs, and his cattle are in the prime of life, and they are walking fast.
"Uncle, after plowing your family, can you help our family pear out of a paddy field to sow seeds."
"I'll be free in the afternoon." Gu Yunjie and his family have been riding his ox cart a lot recently, and now helping others plow the fields is not a big deal.
"Then I'm bothering you."
When they got home, Yun Jie said to Gu Lan's and said that Liu Shishi would help them plow the land in the afternoon.
"This piece of land, he probably won't accept it if he gives money, and he will get a piece of meat for their family in the evening." I bought a lot of meat yesterday, and it won't go bad if I put some salt on it for two or three days this season.
Chu San was cooking in the kitchen.
Gu Yunjie looked at the ash on his face, and there were a few hairs in front of him that seemed to be burned, and couldn't help laughing: "Milk, look at him, burn a fire and burn yourself into black charcoal." ”
"Xiao Chu, aren't you still skilled, I'll come." Gu Lanshi hurriedly stepped forward: "Burning a fire is also a matter of skill. ”
"I just gave too much firewood, and a lot of fire erupted." Who would have thought that a simple fire-burning job almost burned his hair, and he was quite speechless.
"You go wash and wash, I'll come." Gu Lanshi looked at a few burnt hairs on his forehead, and his smile couldn't be hidden: "Xiaojie, you come to cook the vegetables, and I will cook the fire." ”
"Milk, he is your own grandson, and I am the one you married." She worked outside for half a day, and when she came back, she had to cook.
