Chapter 225 Arable land ing~
"Okay, now that everyone is ready, let's get started!

I, Tianjiao, Gu Ao, Xu Yi, and Yang Hu use this plow to plow the land. One thing to pay attention to is that if you encounter a place that cannot be pulled and is stuck by a rock or something, remember to stop and don’t use brute force. Trouble breaking this plow.

Miya and Aunt Liu held hammers behind us and smashed up the relatively large clods of soil. Zhou Youcai and Uncle Ge used hoes and shovels to dig out the obvious rocks in the field in advance. go aside.

If there is no problem, let's start to act now! "

Soon, Shi Miao assigned the work, and the others nodded, each found their farm tools and obediently followed behind to prepare for work.

Because no one has ever used this kind of hand-pulled plow, Shi Miao demonstrated first, pressing the plow shovel down along the field ridge, and after the plow shovel entered the soil, he pulled the plow and walked straight along the edge of the ridge .

"Just walk forward one by one along the line I plowed. Be careful not to go too fast."

Turning his head and exhorting, Shi Miao continued to pull forward, and the other four followed Shi Miao's way. When they first pulled the first two times, they still felt uncomfortable. After taking two more steps to find the feeling, they began to move forward slowly. After leaving, Miya and Liu Ailing followed behind with hammers.

The soil here has not been used, it is very loose, and there is basically no difficulty in pulling it up. Except for some grass roots buried in the soil for the winter and some stones of uneven size, there is basically nothing that will hinder everyone's actions.

Liu Ailing and Miya didn't have many soil clods to knock with the hammer, and the shallow soil had already melted, so it didn't take much effort to smash it. Basically, it was broken into small pieces after two blows.

Uncle Ge and Zhou Youcai didn't have to use much force, just to pick out one piece after another of large and small stones from the soil, throw them into the basket and carry them to the outside of the divided field to pile them up together, which is a bit wasteful.

After a busy morning, a field was recultivated twice. After seeing that the soil was almost loose, everyone went home happily.

"Sure enough, it's really tiring to work after being lazy for a long time. It's obvious that you haven't put in much effort, but you just feel that your whole body has no energy after a few hours."

On the way back, Zhou Youcai opened his mouth while stretching his arms and flexing his muscles.

"It doesn't matter, let's try to make every day fulfilling for you."

Shi Miao looked at everyone with smiles in their eyes.

After all, it was the first day of work, and it was still early, and everyone was not in a hurry to do the work early in the morning. At 02:30, they dragged the farm tools and continued to repeat the morning work.

Knowing that Shi Miao and the others started to plow the land, Zhang Wen and the others who were idle next door couldn't sit still, and ran over one by one to watch the excitement.

"Cultivated land can still look like this, it's the first time I've seen it~"

Yang Ying opened her eyes wide and looked at the strange tools in everyone's hands, her eyes were full of shock.

A baby who grew up in books from a young age will feel novelty in everything he sees.

"Well, why don't you try it, this plow is quite fun to use."

Seeing Yang Ying's curious look, Gu Tianjiao couldn't help but smile.

"Is it okay? I'll try!"

Yang Ying walked to the ground curiously, grabbed the lever and began to walk forward step by step under Gu Tianjiao's guidance. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and saw that the flat soil was pulled out into a small crooked ditch. smile.

Yang Tao on the side couldn't help laughing: "I remember Yang Ying told us that rice and flour grow out of bags when she was a child. At that time, I also thought she was right, but she was severely laughed at by her parents. After a while, I realized that these things were planted in the ground through hard work.”

As soon as Yang Tao's words came out, the crowd couldn't help but start talking.

Gu Tianjiao couldn't help scratching her head first and said, "Me too! I didn't meet everyone, and I went to harvest the wheat with Shi Miao and grind the wheat grains out one by one. When I saw the flour appearing in front of me little by little, I I always thought those things were growing out of the bag."

Gu Ao couldn't help but blushed too: "Me too."

"You guys are so stupid. I, who lives in the deep mountains and old forests, know it all, but you don't."

Miya couldn't help criticizing them mercilessly.

Zhou Youcai, who was just about to say that he didn't know, quickly shut his mouth, and obediently kept silent and did not work.

"By the way, you have plowed so much land, do you have so many seeds to plant?"

Zhou Xu couldn't help but make a sound when he looked at the large area of ​​small squares that had been filled with ridges.

"Xu Yi doesn't have enough seeds, but you can look for them from the outside. After a while, the seedlings will be exposed to the soil, so you can dig them back and plant them in the soil."

This question didn't need to be answered by Shi Miao, Gu Tianjiao, who was robbed of her job by Yang Ying, took the initiative to speak.

"It's a good way to get them all back and plant them well, so we don't have to run around looking for food in the future. It's just a pity that we don't know plant seedlings."

Wang Sixie couldn't help but nodded when he heard Gu Tianjiao's words, and then continued to say in embarrassment: "Well, we can learn how to cultivate the land from you, and then we can find seedlings and plant them together with you? If there is no accident, we I will also choose to live here, and we want to save more food reserves for this winter.”

"Yes, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Uncle Ge has a soft ruler. Let him find it for you when you go back in the afternoon. You can measure a few pieces of land nearby. As for the farm tools, the molds I made are still there. You can do it yourself, or I'll do it for you and you send someone to plow the field for me."

Shi Miao nodded, it's no problem for neighbors to help each other, anyway, as long as there are indispensable things to do.

"We are still not as good as you in making iron. How about this? Tomorrow we will send three people to help you work together for a day as farm tools, and the rest will measure the land to ensure that the progress of your plowing work is not slow! What do you think?" ?”

Hearing Shi Miao's words, Zhang Wen spoke directly and made a final decision.

They don't know how much time it will take to make farm tools like cats and tigers. If Shi Miao can do it, it may save time and effort.

Three migrant workers helped with the day's work, but there were not enough farm tools. Shi Miao thought about it for a while and said slowly: "You don't need to send people tomorrow, you should go measure the land, and you should be able to make the hammer yourself, and five iron plows the day after tomorrow." I will hand it over to you, how about three of you helping us plow the land for a day?"

It would be much more efficient if three more people plowed the land. It was much more cost-effective than coming here tomorrow morning to make soy sauce with three people.

"This is also possible!"

Zhang Wen glanced at a few people around him, and everyone was okay, so he nodded in agreement.

　The first day of National Day, everyone is on holiday, happy National Day~
