Game slow travel: I am serious about hoarding goods

Chapter 159 Autumn Harvest
Busy days always go by quickly, Jiang Quhan and Zhang Dazhu went to the county with Deputy Factory Manager Zhao to bring the little piggy back. Although there were some twists and turns, the result was good.

Deputy factory manager Zhao took them with them, and the unit price given to them by the county was 3.8 yuan a head. They brought back more than 150 heads from the county and spent nearly 600 yuan.

Fortunately, the sales of silkworm cocoons in the third season increased their income, otherwise the brigade would not have enough funds.

This time, they also brought back the second batch of piglets from the Town Meat Factory, and there were almost 200 piglets.

The family members of the team members were basically allocated, and those who asked to raise two piglets were also arranged, but the families of those team members who needed to raise several piglets had to wait for the next batch of piglets.

This batch of Jiang Quhan kept more than a dozen pigs in the collective breeding pen, and arranged a special person to take care of them.The team members who went to the town meat joint factory to study before also learned a lot of skills and came back.

Jiang Quhan didn't dare to raise too many together.The risk of something really going wrong is too high.

When these things are busy, the autumn harvest will be ushered in.

The importance of the autumn harvest to farmers can be imagined. The entire production team, from the elderly who can walk around to the children who can run and jump, all participate in the harvesting work.

Of course, Jiang Quhan is not an exception, the school has a few days off.

As soon as the crops are mature, they must be harvested and dried as soon as possible, for fear of sudden rain and rot in the fields.

After the autumn harvest began, Jiang Quhan lived like a war every day. He was also busy with things in the breeding factory before, but it was not as tiring as it is now.

In this era, autumn harvests depend on labor, and the tools are only hoes and sickles. It is very cumbersome to collect every kind of grain.

The ears of rice have to be cut off one by one and put away, and then the rice is beaten into a big bucket made of wood one by one.The harvested rice has to be bagged and transported back, and when the weather is good, it is taken to the brigade's grain drying field to dry.

There are no carts to pull, and there are not a few bicycles in the brigade, and they all rely on manpower to carry them one by one.

After the corn is broken off, the corn stalks have to be pulled out, and the corn hammers have to be transported back to form corn kernels.Then dry it and grind it into cornmeal.

The soybeans are cut back in bundles and then dried, and then the soybeans are beaten out of the pods with a flail.

Harvesting in autumn is not easy. It has to be when the weather is good, and when the weather is bad, you have to rush to harvest even in the rain.

Of course, it’s not all suffering.

When harvesting corn, corn stalks are a good snack. It is not only edible, but also quite sweet.Another name is sweet stick.

When harvesting sweet potatoes, when you are tired, you pick one out and eat it directly. Raw sweet potatoes also have a special flavor.

During the autumn harvest period, Jiang Quhan saw many farm tools that he had never seen before, and also ate many foods that he had never eaten before.

The team members' work time was also delayed until it was almost dark. Jiang Quhan fell asleep on the bed after eating and washing every day, and no longer had the energy to study his skills in the whole space.

The work is heavy, and the food in the big cafeteria is also greasy. The few remaining pigs in the brigade did not escape the fate of being eaten, and all of them became meat in the mouths of the team members.

The autumn harvest came to an end in about half a month, and the team members devoted themselves to the next round of planting preparations.

The grain has also been counted. It is true that the harvest is much less than last year. It is a busy year, but it is not a bumper harvest. It is somewhat frustrating.

But now they all eat in the big canteen, and the team members don't worry about being hungry like in previous years when the harvest is not good.
