Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 105 105 Grain Harvest
Mu Yu went back and thought about what Old Man Qi said for a long time, and she agreed with Old Man Ji's words, at least for the time being.

Life in Taoyuan Village has not settled down completely, and she will not think too much about other things before that.

As for when everything in Taoyuan Village has settled down completely and she has the energy to do other things, she will really start to think about these things.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

It's too early to think about this now, it's better to think about harvesting the crops in a few days.

Within a few days, the crops in the field were really ready for harvesting.

When Mu Yu gave an order, the villagers started harvesting skillfully.

Harvesting food is a farmer's instinct, and they can handle everything well without any additional instructions.

This is a long-awaited harvest that symbolizes hope, and everyone has put in all their strength to do things!
For the first time, Mu Yu knew that there are so many time-saving and labor-saving tricks for turning millet from the ground into millet that can be cooked and eaten. She still knows too little about the ancient knowledge of farming.

Although she is not a professional, Yang Erlang and the farmers are very professional in this matter. With them, this matter will not go wrong at all.

Everyone in the village was busy in the field, and she was not far behind, and got busy in her two acres of land.

Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of the whole village, the harvesting task progressed very quickly. In the evening of this day, the first batch of grain was delivered to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu has been working in the field all day, sweating profusely and suffering from soreness, but when he saw the bags full of millet, he immediately felt comfortable and could go to the field again at any time It's like a day and a night.

After being shocked, she hurriedly asked Ji Xiucai beside her,
"How much is this? Have you ever weighed it?"

Ji Xiucai bowed slightly, without looking at the account book in his hand, and said directly,
"Today we harvested 37 mu of millet, but processed only about ten mu, and got [-] catties of millet.

These three hundred catties were used to encourage everyone to look at them, and more were put in the granary. "

Mu Yu ran through this data in his mind, and it feels quite a lot!
Looking at it this way, one mu of land probably produces more than 200 catties of millet. This amount is not as high as the yield per mu of land in the mustard space, but judging from the consumption situation she learned when fleeing famine before, this amount is also very good.

Calculated according to the yield per mu, they planted a total of about 40 mu of land, and in the end they could harvest tens of thousands of catties of grain, enough to feed the [-] of them for several years.

"Is this a good harvest?"

She asked Yang Erlang in a low voice.

Yang Erlang glanced at her in surprise, and said in a low voice,

"Of course it's a good harvest.

The normal yield of the fields at the foot of the mountain is only about 150 catties per mu. The mountain is barren, and it would be good to have more than [-] catties normally, let alone this drought year.

Two hundred catties is twice the normal harvest, what is it not a bumper harvest?Still a bumper harvest. "

Mu Yu had the bottom line in his heart, walked to the bags of newly harvested millet, and said to the people present,

"Everyone has worked hard!
I used to live frugally and never complained, now we finally harvested, of course we have to eat a good meal to celebrate the harvest!
Taohua, eat the newly harvested millet tonight, and the millet is full! "

Everyone present had expressions of surprise or surprise on their faces.

"Hey, I'm going to cook now!"

"Let's go help!"

The few people who reacted immediately went to cook with Taohua with a sack in their arms.

With the active help of these people, Taohua quickly cooked dinner.

After a busy day, the villagers ate the hard-earned grain.

Everyone is very excited, they have not eaten new food for many years, and have not eaten enough food for many years, but today, all this has finally come true again!

The mouth is eating soft and glutinous millet, and the tip of the nose is the unique fragrance of newly harvested millet. After the initial high joy fell, the atmosphere became a little different. Some people were moved to tears, and some even cried out loud .

"If there were so much food, then my parents and children would not have to starve to death."

"It would be great if my mother could eat such good food..."

"I knew that there would be a way to survive with everyone, and I could really have a good meal. Why did I have to drag my brother along with me in the ruined temple? I don't know how my brother is doing now."

"My poor child..."

"Father, mother, my son is doing well now, you don't have to worry..."

Of course, amidst all the crying, there were also some calm people, most of whom were old people who were not young.

"Why are you crying? What a beautiful day it is. It's too late to laugh. You're still crying."

"Yeah, this is a good day that I never dreamed of before."

"Let them cry. It was too hard before, so I feel that life is better now."

The old man sat together and ate leisurely and indifferently, while the children were mostly happy, curious, and puzzled. In short, the meal ended amidst the mixed emotions of everyone.

I don't know how many people will be so excited that they can't sleep tonight, but there must be no Mu Yu inside. Mu Yu feels sleepy when he eats.

Sleepy and tired together, Muyu slept very early and deeply that night.

……

When Mu Yu woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.

She got up from the kang with an expression of disbelief, shocked that her punctual biological clock didn't work, and even more shocked that Taohua didn't wake her up!
But no matter how unbelievable it is, it all happened for real.

She got up in a hurry and found the meal that Taohua had left for her on the table, and hurried to the field after eating.

Sure enough, the villagers were sweating and harvesting crops in the fields.

Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and found Peach Blossom not far away, Peach Blossom smiled at her,

"I saw that you were too deep in sleep, so I couldn't bear to wake you up."

Mu Yu pretended to be angry and said, "If you want to delay the harvest, don't do it again in the future."

What I actually think in my heart is that there will never be such a thing that requires someone to remind me of oversleeping in the future.

But Peach Blossom's habit of arbitrarily asserting herself is not to be tolerated, even if it is out of good intentions, it is easy to do bad things.

"Understood." Tao Hua nodded, "It won't delay the harvest, I've already harvested part of it for you, and you'll definitely finish the rest today."

Mu Yu looked at her two acres of basic field. One acre was harvested yesterday, and there is still one acre today, but one of the fields has already been cut down.

Well, look at this and forgive her.

"It's not an example."

Taohua smiled and nodded again and again, and then continued to work hard on harvesting.

I don't know where Taohua got so much strength. The two are about the same age, but Taohua just works faster and more, and doesn't look very tired.

Mu Yu shook his head, and leaned over to work hard.

For a good harvest, this bit of hard work is nothing.

Besides, it won't be too long.
