Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 232

In a certain mountain villa, two young men were lying on the roof looking at the starry sky.

The night was getting dark, and the star gap in the sky was still very lively. The stars blinked and blinked, and they were so beautiful that they were not like ordinary dust.

Looking at the stars in the sky, and then turning his head to cast a glance at his friend who closed his eyes and meditated, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but said, "A Ling, aren't you worried at all?"

The people around him didn't respond.

Jiang Chuan sighed, sat up with his hands propped up and said, "Songning Academy has been surrounded, sir has been invited away."

"so what?"

Jiang Chuan turned his head to look at his friend who was lying on the roof and still closed his eyes and meditated: "Why are you so big-hearted? Don't you worry about what happened to Mr.? That's King Zhennan."

"They dare not."

"A Ling, did you already know?"

"So what if you know? So what if you don't know?"

Jiang Chuan was silent, and then said:
"A Ling, I know you have hatred for King Zhennan, but my father once said that if he was in that position at that time, he would have agreed to exchange me out. In his position, he is the king of Zhennan. It was a last resort for him to do so.”

On the roof, no one spoke for a long time, just when Jiang Chuan thought that Wu Ling would not answer any more, he heard him say: "My father and the others also died because of King Zhennan."

"what?"

When Jiang Chuan came to his senses, the friend beside him had already jumped down with his hands on his hands, and he jumped up anxiously:
"A Ling, A Ling, what do you mean? Don't go in, wait for me, wait for me! Safe, safe, take me down!"

What answered him was the door closing with a "slap" from below. The door was closed so hard that the tiles on the roof trembled for a moment.

Jiang Chuan had to get down, and said to the guard standing in the yard below with a bitter face, "Ping An, you should take me down!"

In the yard, Ping An frowned and looked at the closed door, then looked up at Jiang Chuan on the roof:
"Jiang Gongzi, you have angered our young master into the house."

The implication is that there is no other way, I will not help you who offends my master, you can figure it out yourself!

Jiang Chuan was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look around again. After a long time, he wailed, "Where's my bodyguard? Where's my bodyguard? Qingyun, Qingyun!"

In the night sky, a figure appeared faintly beside Jiang Chuan: "Master, Lord Hou said, it's not the moment of life and death, so I'm forbidden to act."

Then, the figure flashed, and Jiang Chuan was the only one left on the roof again.

In Baijia Village, many people surrounded Yin Ziying's paddy field.

Someone excitedly said: "Oh, that rice is so beautiful, it's yellow."

"What do you mean, isn't this rice the same as the wheat we grow? No matter how beautiful the rice is, can it look as good as the grain we are full of?"

"Lao Li, what you said is wrong. Why don't you have any? Look at the heavy rice, and the price of selling it is much higher than that of wheat! Mrs. Yin is so powerful that she can even grow things in the south. come out."

Someone next to him nodded in agreement: "Isn't that right? The fine noodles are only eight renminbi a catty, and the rice costs twenty cents a catty. Mrs. Yin is really amazing. I don't know if she will bring this thing next. Let's plant together."

"It would be great if Mrs. Yin is willing. Think about it, the rice has been harvested in just a few months now. The weather is very good in the afternoon. I heard that the rice in the Southland can be planted twice a year. , if this can be planted for two seasons, then we can..."

The discussions in the dark did not affect Yin Ziying, Gu Yunliu and others who were busy at all. Although they were not proficient with sickles in their hands, they moved forward.

"Ziying, work harder, and you'll be able to cut them all later."

Yin Ziying also raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "Yes, I will finish cutting them all in a while and ask someone to pick them out in the afternoon, and it will be almost there."

Originally, Uncle Gu and the others totally disagreed with her going to the field when she said that she was harvesting rice, but it was only after she persisted that she agreed.

Even so, most of the rice that has been cut in half today is still cut by the eldest aunt Yu.

Although it is said that Beidi has never grown rice, after all, he is a person who works all year round, and he is much more agile than a half-assed person like Yin Ziying when he gets started.

Hearing this, Yu turned around and said:

"Who else do you want to invite? I've made an agreement with your uncle. In the afternoon, let him bring the two brothers over to pick you up on the grain farm. You two girls are from each other. You can't do this by yourself." manual labor."

"Auntie, what can I do? Uncle and the others still have to work in the workshop, so I just hire someone. Anyway, the village is slack now, and there are quite a few people who are free."

Now Uncle Gu and Brother Gu Yunli are working in the workshop, and the daily salary is quite a lot.

To be honest, the money she hired was less than the money lost by Uncle Gu's three leave.

When Mrs. Yu wanted to say something, she saw Yin Ziying waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I've already selected the manpower, and I just wait for the time to come and say something."

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu didn't say anything anymore, and continued to work on the task at hand.

Yin Ziying didn't plant much, and the three of them worked hard all morning to harvest all the rice.

Looking at the rows of rice piled on the stalks after harvesting, Gu Yunliu sighed: "It's so beautiful."

Yin Ziying looked at it and smiled, "No, it's really beautiful, it smells like a good harvest."

Even though she had already guessed that the yield of grain grown from the space would be different from that of rice in this era, she did not expect such a big difference.

She had read a lot of books and documents before, and according to the above description, most of the rice harvests in this era are not good, and the rice is particularly shriveled.

As she is now, [-]% of the grains are plump, which is already extremely good.

A few people packed up the tea, clothes and other items placed by the field, and after washing their hands, they greeted the surrounding villagers who were watching the excitement, and then rushed to their homes.

Seeing Yin Ziying and others went back, the villagers on the surrounding fields looked at me and I looked at you, and they all went back to their homes.

The master is not here anymore, and they have nothing to see. Watching them pick up the rice in the field for weighing in the afternoon, that is the real highlight!
……

In the afternoon, after the villagers invited by Yin Ziying picked up the rice, Gu Yunliu stayed in the field to pick up the leftover ears of rice again.

On the grain field, Yin Ziying followed Yu Shi and others to divide the newly arrived rice into small thin layers and spread them evenly, and then took the straws and tied them up in small portions.

There were no rice threshers in ancient times. There are two traditional methods. One is to use a ox or a mule and a donkey to drag a stone roller and press it on the rice several times.

The other is to tie the rice into small handfuls. If the stone mill cannot be crushed cleanly, use a wooden mill to pound the grain.

These two methods have one thing in common, that is, they all need to dry the paddy to thresh better.

Yin Ziying had already visited the grain farm at the head of the village before. The stone mill was not too big, and even if it was pulled around by a mule, it would not be able to thresh all the grains.

So she tied up the rice in small handfuls at the beginning, so that it would be more convenient to turn the rice over.
