Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 71 The Threshing Machine

.

Six days later, the village meeting in Shihe Village, which had been silent for more than ten years, was going to be organized tomorrow.

Liu Qingcao was also dumbfounded when she received the notice.

This village chief Shi Dahe is doing it again now?

He is not afraid of society! ?

Thinking of Shi Dahe's appearance, she shook her head secretly again, this person has been like this for most of her life, if there is no major stimulation, the possibility of a sudden change is not very high.

The village meeting was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and many villagers would go to the town to buy and sell things in the morning, so it was scheduled before dinner without wasting everyone's time.

After Liu Qingcao delivered the goods to Huibailou in the morning, she hurried back to Shihe Village without stopping. Today is the time for her to prepare glutinous rice.

Although there is only one acre of paddy field, it will take at least three days for her to get it down by herself.

Therefore, Liu Qingcao invited Tian Lin, Jiang Li and Jiang Dafu to help, and handed over the harvesting, threshing, and picking of an acre of land to them, and each person paid sixty yuan a day.

When Liu Qingcao passed by, the three of them were already busy in an orderly manner, and there were still many spectators standing around.

Every time the three of Jiang Dafu cut a handful of rice, they were making estimates in their hearts.

Because of the rice in the willow green grass field, the amount of ears of each plant is more than double that of what they planted!
The surrounding villagers also stepped forward one after another, and some directly took out their knives to help chop, wanting to experience this heavy joy.

"Look, it's not light." The man lifted up the rice in his hand, with a bright smile on his face, as if he was harvesting his own field.

"Yeah, could it be that our seedlings were planted early? I remember when the grass was planted, our seedlings were all taller."

"I don't think it's because the grass was planted late, but it doesn't mean we planted it early."

"Look, the distance between the rice planted in the green grass is different from ours." Someone pointed to the rice in the field and suddenly shouted.

"Yeah, there are still three plants in the empty space in the middle."

"Well, if it's like this, it seems to be no different from ours."

"I don't know, I'll know when it's dried in the sun." The villagers shook their heads one after another. It's really unclear now, and they can only be compared after they are dried.

"Qingcao, just put this thing on top?" Jiang Dafu and Jiang Li worked together to put down the iron lump on their shoulders, and turned their heads to look at Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao nodded.

"Yes, that's how it was placed. I'll go get some rice and show you guys."

Seeing them assembling, Liu Qingcao picked up the nearest rice handle, stepped on the pedal, and waited for the hub to turn, Liu Qingcao put the rice on it.

crackle crackle...

The sound of the rice colliding with the hub drum, and the grain falling off and hitting the big wooden barrel continued to come.

In less than a few breaths, the grains on a handful of rice were completely removed.

"I, I'll give it a try." Jiang Dafu was envious, and was about to step forward with a handful of rice.

Liu Qingcao reminded him of the points that needed attention, and stepped back to watch.

Jiang Dafu was a little nervous, but more eager to try.

He imitated the way of willows and grasses, stepping on the pedals to drive the machine, watching the rotating drum, holding the rice handle tightly, and putting them in.

crackle crackle...

"So fast!" Jiang Li and Tian Lin exclaimed!
Jiang Dafu's hands and feet are stronger than Liu Qingcao, so the machine rotates faster, and the speed of threshing rice is even faster. Every once in a while, there is no grain on the rice handle. clean.

"Qingcao, what is this?" Jiang Li looked at the iron block in front of him with a good look, curious.

"Thresher, you saw it." Liu Qingcao was amused, he was standing here watching, and he had to ask her again to be sure.

"Oh, this thing is really useful. It would be nice if it was bigger."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Jiang, I think the same way. There is only so much iron in the iron shop in the town, so I have to make a small one." Liu Qingcao explained with a sigh.

"It takes tens of catties of iron, which is really not enough. A town only gives so much iron a month, is there too much?" Jiang Li nodded, agreeing with what Liu Qingcao said, iron has been strictly controlled in all dynasties, Want too much.

"Iron is not cheap, Qingcao, you have spent a lot of money to get such a large pile of iron!?"

"It's quite a lot, almost went bankrupt..." Liu Qingcao joked.

"Then you have to put it away, don't be missed by others." Tian Lin reminded.

Liu Qingcao nodded, Tian Lin was right, he had to be more careful.

If this threshing machine is stolen and sold as iron, it can be sold for a lot of money. She has to put it in the space and keep it.

The three of them saw the convenience of the threshing machine, and they came to change it. The surrounding villagers were also very novel, and they stepped forward to try it with itchy hands.

Of course, they were all just feeling it, not mentioning that they can use it in the future, they all have self-knowledge, this is not something they can use now.

Soon, all the rice in an acre of land was threshed and carried to the drying yard with a bag.

One mu of land has picked six picks and there is still some left.

When the villagers saw it, they all talked yesterday. They had less than three picks per acre of land, and there were more than six picks of willows and grasses, which was simply unimaginable.

"It's almost six hundred catties!"

"Yeah, half more than us, let's go and ask later."

"Is this okay? Is this the way of the grass?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent!

That's right, this is a way to exchange money. It's really not good for them to ask like this.

"Why don't we ask Dafu to ask Qingcao to see what she needs before telling us. If we can get it out, we can prepare it. If we can't get it out, then we can't help it. We have to be reasonable."

"Yes!"

A group of people came to the sun-drying field in a mighty way. Jiang Dafu and the three were cleaning the weeds in the grains with smiles on their faces.

"Big rich, big rich."

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhao?" Jiang Dafu stopped what he was doing, straightened up and looked at Zhao Cheng, followed by a large group of people.

"Ah, we just want to come and ask about these millets." Zhao Cheng's black and yellow face was covered with a few wrinkles, and he carefully picked up the grains under his feet like looking at a child.

"Look at how plump the grains are, they are golden and shiny, and they look pleasing to the eye."

"Uncle Zhao, not only are the grains big, but there are many. You see, I have brought back six picks full of green grass, and we have at most three picks per mu of land."

Jiang Dafu looked at the grains drying on the ground, and said excitedly, food is their life, can you not be excited?

"Yeah, I've been growing food for most of my life, and I'm not even as good as a little girl, alas..." Uncle Zhao shook his head, sighing that he was old and ashamed.

"Yes." Oh!

"Dafu, we all came here just to drag you to ask Qingcao, can you tell us how she did this? We all look jealous. Ask her what she wants in exchange. If she doesn't If you want to say it, don't embarrass her."

"Okay, I'll go and ask after I finish what I'm doing." Jiang Dafu didn't dare to guarantee that Liu Qingcao would say it, but the villagers said so, so it's okay for him to ask.

The villagers left and waited at home, not to cause trouble to others.

After Jiang Dafu finished his work, he rushed to Liu Qingcao's house.

　Thank you Dongshan Laoyao for your reward and recommendation, I will continue to work hard
