Farmers are always very sensitive to what is going on in the field.

Even whoever has a faster hoe in the village can become a topic of conversation after dinner.

So, when the quyuan plow moved, everyone realized.

This plow is definitely not ordinary!

The people of Lijia Village excitedly chased behind Zhang Ahua's mother and son, and marveled while watching.

There were even those who couldn't help but touch the plow, and were slapped away by Zhang Ahua.

She was now holding the handle of the plow, not to mention how spirited.

The people of Lijia Village were so envious that their eyes were red.

Who wouldn't want to try such a light and easy-to-use plow, ploughing the floor as effortlessly as playing?

Damn, why didn't they seize the opportunity to have a good relationship with the county magistrate at that time, and let Zhang Ahua win favor for nothing!

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and an acre of land was quickly ploughed.

The ground ploughed by the curved plough is very deep, and experienced farmers know at a glance that the germination rate of this land will definitely be very high in the future!

The ridge of the field.

Li Fu, the village head, looked at the sun in the sky and said excitedly: "Two hours at most, you can't be wrong!" ”

Oh my God, plough an acre in two hours!

When the people of Lijia Village heard this, their pupils shook one by one, and their mouths opened wide.

If they can have this zigzag plow, they will no longer have to get up early in the morning and wield a hoe in the dark, so tired that their backs hurt, and even their bodies are injured.

For a while, everyone looked at the county master expectantly.

Chen Gengnian lived up to expectations, hugged Shao An, who was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big guy, this is Shao An who made the Quyuan plow, and I am small." Next, Quyuan Plough will be the first to be promoted in Lijia Village, and he will help everyone make plows! ”

The fields were filled with cheers.

However, after the cheers, some men and women dropped their hoes, looked at their blood-soaked hands, and began to cry.

God knows how much they have sinned and how much they have suffered.

"County master, how much does this Quyuan plow cost?"

In a cry of joy, Zhang Ahua asked carefully.

That's right!

Isn't this plow, so light to use, or made of iron, very expensive?

Thinking of this, the excitement on people's faces turned to apprehension.

Chen Gengnian didn't speak, and turned to look at Shao An next to him.

On the way here, they discussed the matter.

"It's estimated to cost 300 wen a plow, but because I've just started doing it, I'm not proficient in it."

Shao Anqiang held back the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Therefore, the first ten plows cost 240 Wen, and after selling ten, restore 300 Wen." ”

300 Wen!

It's a bit expensive indeed, but it's not really unaffordable.

Moreover, the first ten are only priced at 240 Wen!

Zhang Ahua looked at the plow in her hand, very moved, but a little hesitant.

At this time, I heard her next-door neighbor who had just quarreled stand up and shouted: "What are you searching for such a good plow, buy!" Let's buy it together, I'll pay half of the money for you, and we'll use it together in the future! ”

Zhang Ahua's eyes lit up: "Okay, then I'll buy one!" ”

A good curved plough made two neighbors who had been feuding for many years let go of their grievances.

And their operation also inspired the people of Lijia Village.

Although the plow is expensive, it can be bought together, spread it evenly, and the price is acceptable to everyone!

"Second Brother Zhang, let's buy a plow together?"

"I have a cow at home, whoever buys it with me, my cow will be free for you, but you have to cut the grass for me and feed the cow!"

"Although there are no cattle in my family, there are many men, so I can be a cow!"

Who says farmers are reluctant to spend money?

Good steel is used on the blade, as long as the thing is really convenient, everyone gritted their teeth and wanted to buy it!

So it didn't take long for the ten-plow quota to be sold out on the spot.

Shao An took the money, and his eyes were red.

The seventeen-year-old man rubbed his eyes, looked at Chen Gengnian and choked up, "Geng'er, I'm ...... Thank you. ”

Chen Gengnian touched Shao An's shoulder with his shoulder: "Let's kiss the brothers, don't talk about this." ”

-

Lijia Village has not been so lively for a long time.

Because of the tight farm work and the exhaustion of the body, everyone nodded numbly when they met in the past.

But today, Chen Gengnian brought a zigyuan plow, which instantly brought this lifeless village to life.

Until the evening, everyone was still talking excitedly.

Don't underestimate the benefits of a curved plow.

People no longer have to swing their hoes, wave their wounds, and blood blisters on their hands, and are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, and endure the pain.

It doesn't take a whole day to spend all day in the fields, in a hurry to catch up with the summer planting.

When the fields are ploughed early, the men have time to harvest the newly harvested wheat, repair their houses, go to the mountains to chop some firewood, or hunt for some game.

Women can sew and mend at home, clean and wash, and take care of the elderly and children.

The times are backward, the days are too hard, and the peasants who rely on the sky for food are numb and tired to live, and there is no hope in the days.

A zigzag plow not only brings convenience, but also allows people to breathe a sigh of relief!

"Did you buy a quyuan plow?"

"It's too expensive, I don't want to buy it, the child's father said that he will work hard to make money this year, and he will grit his teeth and buy one next year!"

Even those who were reluctant to buy a plow for a while planned to buy one next year.

And some of the women who married in Lijia Village hurried back to their parents' homes to report the news after the excitement.

"The county master Chen Gengnian invented the Quyuan plow, this plow, two hours can plow an acre of land!"

As the women returned to their parents' homes, an astonishing news began to spread in the neighborhood and gradually caused a sensation.

-

Xing Huzi is a native of Xingjia Village.

His clan uncle Xing Tieniu is the main man of Jiang County, equivalent to the third-in-command.

Therefore, the people of Xingjia Village have always been very confident.

Even if they went to the county government to make trouble, they didn't coax it.

During the day, I saw Chen Gengnian take [Quyuan Plow] to Lijia Village.

Although Xing Huzi and the others laughed at each other, they thought about it again and again, and still secretly followed.

And then they were stunned.

That Quyuan plow, it can plow an acre of land in two hours, which is even more exaggerated than what Chen Gengnian said!

Xing Huzi and the others went home with a sneering expression.

When the lord Bo Xing Tieniu, who was waiting in the village, saw them coming back, he immediately smiled and exaggerated: "You guys did a good job, now the whole Jiang County is laughing at Chen Gengnian for being a straw bale who doesn't even know how to plow!" ”

Xing Huzi and the others originally wanted to explain.

But Xing Tieniu said next: "This thing is very good, Zheng Ye is very satisfied, and one person will be rewarded with 50 yuan!" ”

Since there is money to take, the fool will explain it.

Xing Huzi and the others took the money, and then everyone tacitly looked at each other and ran home.

After running home, he dragged the bewildered mother-in-law from the bed, and said eagerly: "Give you 300 yuan, go to the county seat early tomorrow morning, and go to Chen Gengnian's house to buy a plow!" Hurry up, you won't be able to get in line if it's late! ”

As for why not go yourself?

Of course, it's because they went to the county government to make trouble, and they were afraid of being recognized by Chen Gengnian!

-

Because of a plow, this night, many people in Jiang County were so excited that they lost sleep.

Of course, the most excited is the Shao family.

Shao An went home with a large bag carefully gathered with clothes.

Then he called out his father and mother with a smile, opened his clothes, and made a noise-

A large pile of copper coins was piled up on the table, and Shao An's father and mother looked straight at it.

But Shao Anniang was only stunned for a moment, and immediately panicked: "Son, where did you get so much money and gamble?" Or did you steal? ”

Shao An was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, and immediately explained.

It turned out to be Chen Gengnian! That unreliable second ancestor!

Shao Anniang's face was incredible.

Shao An's father sat on the threshold, rubbing his aching lower back, and said in a muffled voice: "Xiao An's mother, Ming'er turned out all the eggs saved at home and took them to Chen's house as a thank you gift." ”

Shao Anniang reacted and immediately got up and went to the kitchen: "It should be, it should be!" ”

Shao Anhan smiled and watched the old lady busy with work, so she didn't stop her.

His father doesn't talk much, his mother loves to chatter, and the house is still as dilapidated as before.

But he clearly realized that the family was different.

When Qu Yuan Plough is completely famous, his family's carpenter shop business will definitely be able to rise.

If the business comes together, you can make money!

When the time comes, I will have the money to treat my father's back injury, my mother will not have to work so hard, and the house can be renovated, a few pieces of furniture can be purchased, and a few new clothes can be added.

When I save again, I can talk about a daughter-in-law.

You see, this is how to live.

Once there is hope, even if it is bitter, there is sweetness in the bitterness.

Shao An's father rubbed his waist for a while, and his perennial drooping eyebrows also stretched a lot.

He looked back at his smiling son, and said with an awkward expression: "I'm free for the past two days, call him over and have a drink." ”

Oh no.

These days, wine is a precious thing.

Not to mention the side dishes of the wine.

Shao An teased: "Dad, you have to pay blood." ”

Father Shao glared at his son and said nothing.

After a while, I heard him mutter: "I watched that little cub grow more and more crooked, but I didn't expect it to stand upright, really special mother!" ”

-

Early the next morning.

Chen Shen opened the courtyard door, and just happened to meet the neighbor on the other side, his face froze, and he turned around to go back to the house.

The neighbor was the first to greet with a strange smile: "Yo, Master Chen, I heard Geng Nian say that your family can finish turning over an acre of land in three hours, and take it out for me to open my eyes." ”

This schadenfreude dog thing!

Chen Shenqi's liver hurt, but he didn't have the face to refute.

At this time.

Five or six women who rushed to the county seat heard the words of their neighbors, and immediately came over excitedly: "It turns out that this is the county master's house, you are Master Chen, we want to buy a Quyuan plow, each of them brought 300 yuan, buy the Quyuan plow that turned over an acre of land in two hours!" ”

The schadenfreude on the neighbor's face stiffened.

Plough an acre of land in two hours?

Even Chen Shen is incredible.

But before Master Chen could recover himself.

A second wave came to the door.

It is Zhang Ahua's mother and son, and Li Fu, the village head of Lijia Village.

"The county magistrate helped us a lot, not only to deliver pigs, but also to study the Quyuan plow that turned over an acre of land in two hours."

Zhang Ahua handed Chen Shen the two baskets of vegetables, meat, and fish in his hand, and said gratefully: "Master Chen, the county master is a good official, these are all made up by our people in Lijia Village and given to the county master!" ”

Good officer? The county lord? Who?

Is he a bad rebel who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it?

Chen Shen's mind was very confused.

Then, the third wave came.

It's Shao Anniang, this Master Chen knows.

Because Chen Gengnian always took Shao An to not learn well, Shao Anniang usually did not wait to see the Chen family.

But today, Shao Anniang changed her cold face in the past, and she was enthusiastic: "Master Chen, I brought some eggs over for Geng Nian." Thanks to him, my family's carpenter's shop took over the business of ten zigzag ploughs in one go. ”

Chen Shen never thought that he would encounter this 'big scene' in his life!

He hurriedly invited all three waves of people into the courtyard.

I saw the sluggish face of the neighbor on the other side.

Master Chen changed his past grievances, and smiled vigorously: "Ouch, Master Pei, you said that you were too busy early in the morning, I didn't even take care of you just now, I'm sorry." It's really, this kid from my family Gengnian is too good and too popular. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Shen hummed a song and went back to the house.

The neighbor was going to be vomited to death by him.

But after a while, I realized that I still had more than 30 acres of land to be turned over!

So he quickly followed up with a smile: "Master Chen, don't be in a hurry to leave, what is the plow of an acre of land turned over in those two hours?" Oh, I don't know anything, you have to let me open my eyes today. ”
