Chapter 81: Buddha Grows Rice
Xu Yiyun shook his head: "No need, there is still such a point, finish it early, let's change places as soon as possible, and then we have to plough the field and plant another crop, and we can rest at home early when we are busy early." ”
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxia was not persistent.
But after relieving, she got up and went over to threshing with him, and when this threshing machine was made, she designed it to stand in a position where two people could stand.
So she stood close to the pile of rice, and while she put the rice on top of the threshing machine for him, she threshed with him again, but he was always the one who pedaled.
Men and women match, work without getting tired.
There is still some truth in this sentence, originally a lot of rice, and it didn't take an hour to finish it.
Su Xiaoxia sometimes threshes grain, and sometimes runs over to help Shen Lan empty the barn, so that she can't wait to fight.
By the time they were done with the two fields, it was already noon, and the three of them had already been hungry, but fortunately, when they went out in the morning, they brought three cakes to satisfy their hunger, so that they would not be so hungry that their limbs were weak.
"Wait for me here, I'll borrow an ox cart."
"Wait." Su Xiaoxia shouted, then took the cake in his mouth and took out a bunch of money from his arms, "You take this, see who has an ox cart, let's rent it for a few days, and when the time comes, we will go to the other side of the field to pull the grain home, and it is inconvenient to borrow it all the time." ”
After Xu Yiyun listened, he thought about it and took the money.
A moment later, after Su Xiaoxia and Shen Lan had packed all the grain in the barn into sacks, Xu Yiyun came back with an ox cart.
"It's been rented for three days, is it enough?"
"Almost." Su Xiaoxia estimated, "If it's not enough at that time, I'll talk about it." ”
There's still room for it anyway, isn't it? When the time comes, I will operate it myself, and while Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun don't know, most of it will be put in the car, and the rest will be quietly put into the space, and I will take it out when I get home!
"Hmm." Xu Yiyun took out the money, "This is the rest." ”
"You take it first, and then you have to rent cattle to plough the fields, and then give me the rest at the end, so that I can keep the account."
"Hmm!" Xu Yiyun nodded.
Fertilization, coupled with the blessing of spiritual spring water, Su Xiaoxia estimated that there would be nearly 100 catties of rice in this two-part field, and as for the rented barren field, there was an acre and six points of land, and she expected that there might be thousands of catties.
Of course, this will have to wait until later, and it is only a rough estimate for now.
Watching Xu Yiyun pull a cart of rice home, everyone's eyes were hot, they had planted rice for so many years, and they had never seen the rice in the field grow as well as Su Xiaoxia's family, and every grain was rice.
"Third child, can you call your daughter-in-law to teach us how to grow rice? Why is your rice harvest so abundant? ”
"Yes, Xu Yiyun, we are all from the same village, just teach us how to farm?"
Hearing this, Xu Yiyun said: "There is nothing special about us planting rice, that is, fertilization, and Su Xiaoxia has not done anything else!" Didn't my mother teach you how to fertilize? Later, when you plant rice, try fertilizing, and you will know what is going on at the end of the year. ”
Their Xujia village belongs to the south, two crops of rice a year, early rice is sown in March and April, harvested at the end of July, late rice is sown after harvesting, and then harvested in November and February.
Now Su Xiaoxia plans to plant another crop after harvesting, and after harvesting, he will start planting late rice, which is the most outrageous, but it is also an achievable thing, so the villagers of Xujia Village are looking forward to it, and they are very curious about how to plant it.
In fact, everyone doesn't know that fertilizer is one thing, and spiritual spring water is the most important!
When Xu Yiyun returned to Tian's side, he mentioned this matter to Su Xiaoxia.
"I don't know how to plant it, it's like this, sprinkle fertilizer, and then leave it alone, let it grow on its own, and it's gone."
After having spiritual spring water and fertilizer, she is a Buddhist rice, because she knows that spiritual spring water can already nourish and promote the growth of rice, so she doesn't have to worry about so much at all.
"yes, I know." Xu Yiyun nodded, "That's why I told everyone, as for whether to believe it or not, it's their business." ”
He also wanted to believe it, after all, it was too fantastical, but there was no other way than to believe it, it was all his own family, what was the use of doubting so much?
Half an hour later, Su Xiaoxia and the others transported the rice and threshing machine home.
The next thing that is very troublesome is to dry rice, in ancient times there was no cement floor to dry rice, so drying rice would become very troublesome.
In some places where there is bamboo, they can use bamboo mats to pad when drying rice, or put them on bamboo boards to dry.
But in this place, I am afraid that I can only find a solid flat land to dry, and it will not rain these days, although the weather is very hot, but it is a good thing for drying rice, and the rice can be dried in a few days.
It just so happened that there was a place in the yard to dry, and when it was dark at night, she would take the rice to the space to dry it, and then put it up again.
Although the project was a bit huge, she found that she would quickly recover from the physical exertion of physical strength in the space, as long as she drank the spiritual spring water.
At noon, they took a bite to deal with, and then began to circle the compacted land, began to dry, and took out the useless dustpan mats at home to dry the rice, nearly a hundred catties, just enough to spread all the outside.
It's just a few hundred catties in the back, and I'm afraid that I need more space at that time, so I can only go to the villagers who are trustworthy and don't grow rice, borrow their place to dry, and then give dozens of catties of rice or silver as rent.
For several days, Su Xiaoxia, Xu Yiyun, and Shen Lan were all busy like this, while Xu Dabao and Erbao and Sanbao were at home.
Xu Dabao is now able to get out of bed and move, so he is responsible for the food of the two treasures and the three treasures, accompanies the two younger brothers and sisters at home, and stews in advance every meal.
Three days later, Su Xiaoxia's whole body was tired of a few catties, and her skin was tanned a lot.
The sun outside was very hot, even if she was threshing grain in the shade, but the ultraviolet radiation still affected, and she still tanned, but fortunately, it was a healthy complexion, not a very dark kind.
"Mother, eat." At dinner, Sanbao sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in Su Xiaoxia's bowl, "Mother is tired, mother eats." ”
Sanbao's eyes were full of distress, feeling sorry for his mother's tiredness these days, and she went to bed earlier than she slept at night.
"Good." Su Xiaoxia tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled weakly, and then taught carefully: "Sanbao, as well as your grandma and your father, you also serve vegetables for them, and they are also your elders." ”
"Aang!" Sanbao nodded, grabbed the big chopsticks and put the meat into Shen Lan and Xu Yiyun's bowls respectively, and said in a milky voice: "Milk, eat, dad, eat, Sanbao is filial." ”
Seeing this, Xu Yiyun and Shen Lan had smiles in their eyes.
"Good Sambo!" Shen Lan was pleased, "Sanbao, like your mother, is sensible and filial. ”
Hearing Shen Lan praise herself, Sanbao smiled, with a shy smile on her face, and then looked at Su Xiaoxia: "Sanbao is the same as her mother." ”
