Chapter 70

Several days of busy farming have made the family hard and fulfilling, not only the Jiang family, but the entire Fu'an Village!
There is nothing more satisfying and satisfying than filling a granary with a pile of grain.

The sorghum can still wait for another ten days. In these ten days, what everyone has to do is to remove the corn, dry it in the sun, and then put it away in sacks.

The dozen or so corns in the vegetable garden were kept until they were completely mature, and there was no moisture left, and then Jiang Hu finally broke them off.

The dozen or so corn cobs alone, and the corn kernels peeled off, are a full four or five catties!
And the particles are full, much larger than those in the ground!
Ginger Tiger is specially dried on a bamboo sieve and then packed in a small bag.

The sun in August and September is very hot. The threshed corn is dried for three to five days. Then, I go to the village to borrow a windmill to blow the dregs out of the corn, and then it can be put into the warehouse.

But before that, they still need to pack the taxed grain, and before October, people from the yamen will come to the village to collect it.

The taxed grain is charged at three-tenths of the output per mu. This is already a very low tax, or the imperial court has just decided in the world and deliberately lowered the tax.

How much land is planted by every household, even if it is land reclamation, the village chief has a record, and then reports it to the town, and then to the county government. Proportionate collection of food.

Erniang asked Dawa to hold the mouth of the sack and pour the corn kernels into it with a spoon: "Brother Hu, are we going to sell food this year?"

In the past, my family was poor, and there was no lucky star like Xiaomi. Even if I went hunting in the mountains, I would be empty ten times.

The annual income is to sell grain. After paying the tax, the remaining grain is barely enough for a family's old snacks, and the rest is sold.

And selling it to the imperial court is the most convenient.

Every year, the yamen who come to the village to collect grain will also take some high officials or errands from the rich merchants to the grain farms. The price of collecting grain in the village is lower than that of not pulling the grain farms by themselves, mainly because it is convenient.

In the past, their family also sold food every year, leaving behind barely enough food for the family to survive starvation, in exchange for money for the uncle's son to go to school.

This year, there is only their own family, and there is no shortage of money. After all, during this time, selling vegetables is not much every day, but it adds up to a lot of money.

Jiang Hu was busy fanning corn, and there was a lot of corn beside him. He was busy pouring it into the windmill, and he had to clear the ground and push it to the side with a rake.

Erni was rocking the windmill, and when her hands were tired, Erniang or Dawa would come for her.

Jiang Hu was busy with the movements in his hands, but when he heard Erniang's question, he didn't even think about it and answered directly: "This year, it will not be sold, there are so many people in the family, the children are growing up slowly, and they cannot be missing. their food."

He was often hungry when he was a child. He clearly had food at home, but he saved it all. No one could eat more. He didn't want to let the children experience the feeling of eating mud when he wanted to sleep.

Erniang has no objection: "Then we will keep them all this year, and we will never have to worry about starvation in the future."

Erni was busy with her work and didn't understand it very well, but when Dawa heard it, she immediately became happy: "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

He doesn't care if the family has money or not, but he knows that as long as there is food at home, they can eat enough!

Erniang laughed: "What's there to thank for that?"

The big baby just giggled and worked harder.

The four of them were busy all day, putting all the corn into sacks and weighing them one by one before carrying them home.

More than three acres of corn land, harvested more than 700 catties of grain!This is definitely a bumper harvest!

Even if you pay three-tenths of the tax, you still have [-] catties!

And the grain they eat in a month is less than [-] catties, that is to say, this [-] catties of grain is enough for them to eat for more than two years!

When I got this number, I didn't feel tired anymore, I was so excited!
Jiang Hu was the most exaggerated, he directly picked up the sleepy-eyed Xiaomi and gave her a sip on her face.

"Thanks to Xiaomi, you are definitely a real lucky star!"

Xiaomi squinted, still a little confused: "Father?"

Er Niang hurriedly carried Xiaomi over, made her lean against her arms, and then patted Xiaomi on the back, coaxing her to go back to sleep, not forgetting to give Jiang Hu a blank look.

"Really, the child slept well. What are you doing to wake them up?"

Jiang Hu just smirked, laughed for a while, and said, "Even if it was fertile land, the harvest was not so much. We will open up wasteland this year. It is reasonable to say that the output will be much lower, but I didn't expect it to actually increase."

But no, in the past, when you planted crops, you could only get about [-] catties per mu of fertile land, and that was a lot.

This year's wasteland farming, without manure, I am afraid that it is good to have three hundred catties, let alone four or five hundred.

Thinking of this, I immediately felt that it was the good fortune brought by Xiaomi, but soon, the smile on Jiang Hu's face became lighter.

Erniang also thought about it: "Brother Hu, I don't know how other people's harvests are. If ours are too good, isn't it too eye-catching?"

Recently, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and their family lives far away, so no one cares and no one cares.

But after a few days, someone will definitely ask.

Or when the tax collectors arrive, everyone will find out.

Jiang Hu nodded: "That's for sure, but we have fewer families and less land to plant. Others have more families and more land. Even if the yield is a little worse, the total harvest is definitely not low."

Erniang nodded: "It just so happens that a lot of vegetables are getting old recently, and they are all being planted. When the grain harvesters leave, if the villagers want to say something, they will distribute some of those seeds to them."

In this case, no one should say anything more, right?
Even if he wanted to say it, he would definitely not say it in front of them.

While the couple was thinking about it, Xiaomi, who had squinted his eyes and hadn't woken up, was now awake and straightened up in his mother's arms.

"Mother, don't be afraid."

Erniang was instantly comforted, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Mother is not afraid, Xiaomi, don't worry."

Xiaomi smiled cheerfully: "It will be amazing."

Jiang Hu Erniang didn't care about this sentence.

Only Xiaomi himself knows what this means.

She had a good harvest of her own food, and it was too eye-catching. It was inevitable. She had long thought of this.

However, it will definitely not be envied!

As for the reason, hum, it depends on Liu Yang, who knows everything in the village, and when will he find out.

Anyway, even if he doesn't find out, Xiaomi is not afraid, but she thought of a way early, even if someone is looking for trouble, it will definitely not be everyone in Fu'an Village!
 Asking for a ticket for the third shift, and a monthly recommendation ticket can be used. By the way, I would like to ask for a five-star praise. Thank you~
