There are shopping malls in famine years, and the evil mother-in-law leads the whole village to beco

Chapter 47. Chapter 47.
The food these few days has been good, Lin Chaodong and the others are full of energy, and the efficiency of harvesting wheat is much higher than in previous years. It may also be because the harvest this year is not good, anyway, their family's wheat harvest will be finished soon.

After the wheat is harvested, the next step is to dry the wheat and then thresh.

In fact, there is another step before threshing, that is, zha (zha) wheat, which is to cut off the wheat transported to the threshing ground with a guillotine knife at the upper middle, and the root is called wheat root. For firewood, it can also be tied together with sorghum stalks to build a roof, and the upper part with wheat ears is used for threshing of wheat.

There is only one guillotine in their village, and when it is Yue Jiuyue's turn, it is estimated that the wheat harvest time has passed, so their family has been threshing directly all these years, even if they need to use wheat roots to repair the roof, they can exchange it with others.

Threshing is also a troublesome job. It requires people to pull the reel and turn it round and round, turn the wheat over and over again, and turn people around again and again, which is to treat people like donkeys.

Then, use a wooden fork to collect the wheat straw without wheat grains and pile it aside to form a straw stack. In addition to being used as a fire, you can also add some when making earthen bricks.

At this time, there are only wheat grains mixed with chaff, wheat straw, wheat ears, etc. left on the threshing floor, which requires shoveling, that is, when there is a breeze, these things are scattered with a wooden shovel. In mid-air, use the wind to blow away the sundries, and only the grains of wheat are left on the ground.

In the end, of course, it is bagged and moved home.

Because today is still a famine year, tax exemption, all these grains are their own.

It's just that the harvest is too little, the total harvest of the six mu of land is less than three stones, which is just over three hundred catties.

How can such a small amount of food be enough for a family of six to last until the autumn harvest?

Yue Jiuyue was a little glad that she came, and that she came with a golden finger.

otherwise……

well!It's a sad year!
"Mother, do you want to grind flour and steam steamed buns today?"

Liu couldn't believe it and asked again.

Yue Jiuyue frowned, and responded with a faint "hmm".

I don't know how many times Liu Shi asked this, and Yue Jiuyue also answered it. I don't know how many times.

Yue Jiuyue knew that the Liu family was not willing to eat this way. After all, the steamed buns were actually made of wheat flour, and the cooked steamed buns weighed two taels, and only seven per catty could be made. If you eat a meal with your belly open, you will eat a lot more than usual. Steamed buns made from three catties of flour may not be enough to eat.

However, others don't know, but she herself knows that she has golden fingers. She just wants these people to open their bellies and eat steamed buns and taste the sweetness of steamed buns.

In fact, she wanted the whole family to have a meal together, but the sparrows did not accept human feeding, so they all died on the same day. In order not to waste meat, they were all eaten the next day.

Therefore, she has already lowered her requirements, but in the eyes of Liu Shi and the others, this requirement is still a bit too much.

But Yue Jiuyue is a mother, she said, how dare Liu not listen.

"Okay, mother."

Mrs. Liu went to scoop up four ladles of wheat with heavy steps, which weighed about four catties and yielded three catties of flour, and then took Xiaoman to the stone mill in the village.

Yue Jiuyue: ...

It doesn't have to be like this, right?As if she was going to the execution ground, she felt sore in her heart.

　Today's [-] words are presented, and I can finally play freely!
