Chapter 137: Farm Tool Competition

Zhou Yang quickly made the tools, and Gu Lan went to the village to find a few good ways to do crop work, and asked them to try it in the field.

Hearing that Gu Lan had researched something new, many curious people in the village came to watch.

Among them, there are some people who come to the village to buy goods.

These days, the merchants buy things from Xiaolongkan and sell them elsewhere, making a lot of money, but it's just that these jewelry made by Xiaolongkan in a different pattern, the market is limited after all, and they can't leave Shizhen, everyone knows that things are bought in Xiaolongkan, and there are more people who come to buy goods, and it is relatively difficult to sell things.

Now that it is the spring ploughing season, many merchants who were originally farmers of the land simply took this opportunity to stay at home and work, and temporarily stopped the work of the merchants.

There are not many merchants here, so the village will make less money, and Gu Lan is also panicked.

Now that a new farm tool has been made, why not take advantage of it and spread it elsewhere to earn some more fame and money?

Gu Lan suddenly had a plan, she clapped her hands and said to everyone: "I asked Zhou Yang to make a few new farm tools today, do you know what they are?" ”

"What is it, I really haven't seen it before!"

Gu Lan pushed out the wooden plough and let everyone guess, and when they told everyone that it was used to plow the land, everyone didn't believe it.

How can this thing made of wood plough the ground?

You know, the hoes they use are all made of iron!

Gu Lan smiled slightly, seeing that everyone was aroused, she hurriedly said her thoughts.

"If you don't believe it, let's form a team to compete, and those who plough the land by themselves are manual teams, and those who plough the land with wooden plows are called machine pairs, and see which team is faster!"

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a competition, everyone was a little excited, there was little entertainment in ancient times, and any activity that was a little lively would attract everyone's interest.

"It's not enough to just play, our game still has a bonus, which team wins, we will share five taels of silver equally!"

"Five taels?!"

Everyone's eyes were enlarged, although the current Xiaolongkan economy is much better than before, the village makes money, they can get dividends, I heard that the number of dividends is not small, but it can only be divided once a quarter, they haven't gotten the money yet!

It would be heard that the winner would win five taels of silver, and soon the news of the game would spread throughout the village.

"Gu Lan wants to hold a competition? Let's go and see the excitement together! ”

"I'm a great worker, is there anyone who teams up with me!"

Soon, the people who signed up flocked to the city, and these men, who were used to doing farm work on weekdays, were all strong, holding hoes in their hands, and asked with a smile: "Isn't there anyone who has signed up for the machine team?" ”

Unlike the enthusiastic registration of the artificial team, there are very few people on the machine team who are willing to sign up, and they are afraid that the new tools will not be used and they will lose the game.

If you can't get the money, it's better to say, if you lose in front of so many people, wouldn't it be a shame?

Gu Lan understood their careful thinking, and she didn't force it, so she went directly to the women's pile, whispered to them, and found a few women who didn't do much farm work to come out.

The artificial team looked at each other and looked at each other, and let them, men who are used to rough work, fight against these women, isn't this bullying?

"There are five people in a team, everyone has to think about it, just find five people to participate."

"Lan girl, this can't be done, these women don't do these heavy physical work, I'm afraid that they will be wronged."

Someone euphemistically tried to persuade Gu Lan to give up this idea, but Gu Lan shook his head and said: "Those who fake horses are not profitable, but will lead to thousands of miles." Those who fake the boat are not able to water, but the rivers. With the right tools, even ordinary people can have super strength, and I have this confidence. ”

She turned her head to look at the chosen women and asked aloud, "Are you confident?" ”

"Lan girl, we have it!"

"Then let these old men in the village see, you are not much weaker than them!"

Gu Lan found a piece of land that had not yet been cultivated, and asked the two teams of people to stand at one end each, and the people in the village also followed curiously, and the field was full of people.

With a gong and drum order, both sides began to plow at the same time.

The men on the side of the artificial team looked at each other, if they lost to women, they would probably become the laughing stock of the village, and they all began to pick up the hoe and work with their heads bored.

On the other side, the women are still under the leadership of Gu Lan, learning how to use the wooden plow to plow the land, the use of the wooden plow is very simple, one person is in front of the control of the direction, one person is pushing back, and it is very easy to turn the ground up.

But compared to the hoe, there is still one more person after all.

At first, the women were still a little difficult to grasp the strength, but then they adjusted their postures, hunched over, bent their backs, and pushed the wooden plough forward, and the ground was really turned up.

"Ouch, this thing can really plow the ground! It's weird! ”

"It's made of wood, and wood can be so sharp?"

Zhou Yang, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the side, also came to see the excitement, he smiled and touched his beard, when he did it, he was worried that the wood was not sharp enough to break the ground, and he also deliberately used the best "knife wood", this kind of wood is extremely hard, polished, not much worse than iron.

When the men of the labor team heard the voice, they looked up curiously, and sure enough, they saw the women pushing wooden plows like small boats sailing in the water, and they walked towards them with a silky smoothness.

They were bored for a few minutes, and they only hoeed more than a meter, but the women walked down and were almost in front of them!

They only had one wooden plow, and they could walk again and again, five times at most, and the field would be ploughed shallowly!

What a speed!

The old man Li Zheng also came at some point, he squinted at the fruits in the field, and his face was also happy: "This tool made by Lan Yatou is good, and those abandoned fields in the village can be planted." ”

There are few people in the village, and the family can be tired enough to do the work of a few acres of land, and now that there are other ways to make money, they are too lazy to work in the field all year round, and they can earn those three melons and two dates.

But for the village, it is impossible for them to shrink in Xiaolongkan all their lives, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

There must be food in order to have their future!

The artificial team quickly gave up the game, they neatly admitted that they had lost, and then a group of people began to ask for a wooden plow, also wanting to try the feel of the wooden plow, who of the adults present had not done the work?

After they got off the field and experienced the feel of using a wooden plow, they never wanted to bend over and swing a hoe again.

How convenient a wooden plow is!

Gu Lan saw that the villagers were happy, and she was also happy, and thought to herself, the farming tools in her previous life didn't know how to evolve, but it was a pity that she would make one or two simple tools that she had seen when she was a child.

You still have to pay off the outstanding points as soon as possible and unlock the system!
