Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 865, from crying to laughing

A major event happened recently in Nanshan Village, Tieling, Liaodong.

Li Damao didn't know that it was the nerve that had a problem, so he even rented an iron lump for five taels of silver, saying that the iron lump could plow the land.

Five taels of silver, for those who migrated to Liaodong, this is a huge sum. For this reason, Li Damao also sold the grain harvested at home last year. All the mountain goods and the like were sold out, and only then did I make up five taels of silver.

Because of this, Li Damao's daughter-in-law had a violent fight with Li Damao, crying and shouting, and the whole Nanshan Village knew about it.

Everyone wants to know what the iron lump that Li Damao rented for five taels of silver looks like, and it can even be changed. You know, you can hire a few North Koreans to work hard for yourself for a month. They can all be fixed for you.

This is also the reason why Li Damao's wife wanted to quarrel with him. This immigrant to Liaodong had only had a good life for a few days, and Li Damao started to make troubles.

The grain that was worked so hard last year is gone?
Thinking of this, Li Damao's daughter-in-law couldn't help crying, dragging the neighbors' mothers-in-law to complain.

"What sin did I do? Marrying him, Li Damao, has never had a good life. That is, I can only eat enough after immigrating to Liaodong."

"But it's only been a few days. Let's see, our granary is empty, and Li Damao has sold out all the food. How are we going to live these days?"

"I'll just die!"

Li Damao's mother-in-law was also looking for life and death while crying, and she couldn't help crying when she thought that all the grain she had grown so hard was sold by Li Damao all at once, and what kind of machine would the money from selling grain go to.

"Ah~"

"Maybe I was tricked by someone."

"I heard from my Dazhu that this steam cultivator is really powerful, and the plowing is amazing. Your Da Mao has always been a person with ideas and opinions. He will definitely not go wrong if he does this."

"But five taels of silver a month, no matter how expensive the machine is."

"I heard that it costs more than a hundred taels to buy it, but renting it for five taels a month is already very cheap."

"..."

The other people next to you are comforting her with your words and words, but the more comforting this is, the more sad she will cry.

On the other side, at the entrance of Nanshan Village, the villagers of Nanshan Village also gathered together to watch the fun. The steam tiller will be back soon.

Everyone has heard about the steam cultivator, and it has been rumored to be amazing. Some people went to Tieling to see the steam cultivator, but more people were waiting curiously.

"Dazhu, can this steam cultivator really cultivate the land?"

"Nonsense, I don't know how to cultivate land, why did Li Damao spend five taels of silver to rent it?"

"Five taels of silver, Li Damao has thrown all his net worth into it."

"Isn't it? Five taels of silver, give me these five taels of silver, and I can reclaim all his land."

"Most likely they were deceived."

The villagers also kept discussing with each other.

"woooo~"

Just at this moment, accompanied by a whining sound, black smoke rose in the distance, and a big guy slowly drove towards Nanshan Village on the road.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the steam cultivator is here, and it can really walk."

I don't know who yelled, and the villagers of Nanshan Village, who had been discussing non-stop, stopped discussing one after another, and then hurriedly walked outside.

Especially Li Damao's daughter-in-law, after hearing this, she was shocked and rushed out in a hurry. She really wanted to see what kind of machine cost Li Damao five taels of silver a month to rent.

"Haha, I'm back~"

Li Damao drove the steam engine to Nanshan Village continuously. The speed of the steam engine was not fast, and firewood needed to be constantly added to it. Behind the trailer was a trailer with a plow for plowing the land and a few hitchhikers. Villagers of Nanshan Village.

"You know how to come back~"

"You prodigal son, five taels of silver, all the money we worked hard for last year was thrown into the water like this for you, five taels of silver you just rent such a thing back, what's the point?"

Li Damao's daughter-in-law was the first to rush up, stood in the middle of the road with her waist in her arms, and started yelling.

"Marrying you bastard, I haven't lived a stable life for a day. It's hard to live a good life for a few days. If you torment me like this, you just kill me."

When you start to scold, you don't care about it, you can scold anything.

"Get out of the way~"

"You are a woman, what do you know?"

Li Damao hurriedly stopped the advancing steam engine, and said sharply to his mother-in-law.

"I don't understand, I only know that these five taels of silver are real money."

"The five taels of silver can't be bought for food, or can't be bought for drink?"

"If you want to torment like this, you just drive over and kill me. If I die, I won't be seen for nothing."

Li Damao's mother-in-law was persistent and made up her mind to embarrass Li Damao severely today, otherwise she would mess around in the future.

"Pull her away, you know what a fart, you will know later whether the five taels of silver is worth it."

Li Damao was in a pretty good mood at first, but he immediately became extremely upset when his wife made such a fuss. This wife doesn't understand anything, so she just knows how to make trouble.

"Okay, I want to see how your machine plows the land. If it can't plow the land, I will smash this machine today, and it will be smashed to pieces."

Li Damao's daughter-in-law said fiercely.

"Smash it, this machine costs more than a hundred taels of silver, so go ahead and smash it, we will never pay it back for the rest of our lives."

Li Damao said directly.

Hearing what Li Damao said, his mother-in-law hurriedly put down the stone in her hand. If she paid a hundred taels of silver, she would really quit. The five taels of silver are gone, it’s still a trivial matter, and it’s okay to work hard If you earn it back, if it is more than a hundred taels of silver, it will really take a lifetime to pay it off.

Li Damao looked at her, continued to drive the machine to his field, and then assembled the plow behind the steam engine with the help of several villagers.

"woooo~"

Soon, with the sound of a siren, Li Damao started to walk around the field while driving the steam engine. The steam engine moved in front, and the plow behind it began to plow the ground, and the thick soil was dug out, and the speed was quite good, just After a while, the steam engine came to the end of Li Damao's field.

"This?"

The villagers of Nanshan Village looked straight.

"It can really be cultivated!"

Someone opened his mouth wide and said.

"Of course you can cultivate the land. Don't even look at what kind of machine it is. It is a machine produced by the Jingcheng Machinery Factory. There are only five machines in Tieling."

Ding Dazhu nodded solemnly and said.

Numerous villagers walked around the fields with the machine, inspecting the plowed soil.

"Tsk tsk, this machine is amazing, the soil after plowing is very deep."

"Look at the worms that have been plowed out. If we use a hoe, there is no way to get them out."

"And this speed, look, how far this technique has gone in just the blink of an eye. Walking back and forth a few times, this acre of land can be plowed."

"Isn't it? This speed is really too fast."

"It seems that all these fields of Li Damao's family can be reclaimed this year. With these hundreds of acres of land, Li Damao can easily earn back the five taels of silver for the grain grown by then."

The villagers said in a hustle and bustle.

Li Damao's daughter-in-law, who was originally furious, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the scene in front of her. Then she wiped away her tears and went directly to the ground, looking at the plowed soil, and then Listening to the discussions of the villagers around me, it didn't feel so uncomfortable for a while.

If it is possible to replant these hundreds of acres of land, the five taels of silver will be worth the money.

"Big hairy daughter-in-law, you are lucky now. From now on, we will turn the hoe to plow the land every day, and you can sit at home and enjoy the happiness. Even if your family has thousands of acres of land, it is not enough to grow the land at this speed."

"Yes, yes, look at the speed of plowing the land. Your family's hundreds of acres of land can be plowed in a day or two. How can it take a month?"

"If you hadn't gone to talk to your family's big hair, and then you will also search through our family's land, and our family will give you some food, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, I also help to turn over the land of my house. This machine seems to be able to turn the land like this without using anything. It's amazing!"

Beside Li Damao's daughter-in-law, all the other women couldn't help but envy them. At the beginning, everyone wanted to watch a good show, but now they are all envious.

Everyone is farming and knows that it is difficult to turn the land. If there is no cattle, the land can only be turned with hoes. Their families occupy several hundred acres of land, but because there are few cattle in Liaodong, everyone can reclaim it. There are only a few tens of acres of land, and if there is more, it will not be able to grow.

But now with this steam cultivator, it’s different. Hundreds of acres of land can be plowed in a day or two. After the plowing is completed, the rest of the land is relatively simple. The land in Liaodong is fertile, and the wheat harvest is good. very.

So everyone hastened to discuss with Li Damao's daughter-in-law one by one, whether this machine can help turn over the land in your own house, anyway, you rented it for a month, and the rest of the time is idle, everyone is a neighbor Yes, help out, big deal, everyone will give you some food.

Hearing the words of these women around her, Li Damao's daughter-in-law finally showed a smile on her face. She stopped crying and said to the people around her with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry. I'll talk to Damao later."

"Aunt Wang, what's the matter~"
