Aojiao Wangye's palm treasure

Chapter 706 Building a Prosperous Garden 99
The next day was the day when Long Hexuan, Xi Guodong and the county magistrate made an appointment to harvest rice.

Early in the morning, the rice fields Long Hexuan and the others rented were surrounded by villagers. Looking at the golden ears of rice bent over and swaying gently in the wind under the blue sky, the villagers applauded.

Long Hexuan, Ying Sheng, Ying Jing, Ying Yin and other three people came here in the middle of the day.

Xi Yuexin also wanted to come, but was rejected by Long Hexuan. The reason for the refusal was: after a while, the sun will be high, and they will spare manpower to send her back. Thinking of her big belly and the sun is also high today, Xi Yuexin rested her mind , stay at home.

"Master Long, is it ready to harvest?" Seeing Long Hexuan, Xi Guodong immediately went up to him and asked.

Long Hexuan glanced at the small road leading to the entrance of the village, then raised his head to look at the sky, and then said flatly: "No hurry, wait a little longer."

"Okay." Long Hexuan was the master, and he said wait, so they could only wait.

After a while, a villager suddenly shouted: "Why are there officials and officials? Why are they all coming here?"

Hearing the yelling, everyone looked over one after another. Sure enough, on the small road leading to the entrance of the village, a middle-aged man in official uniform was walking towards them supported by a middle-aged man with a goatee. Behind the two, followed by eight officials dressed in official uniforms.

Seeing this large group of people, the villagers all looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't understand, didn't the official and the official come to arrest people?Why did you come to the field?Could it be that the person they want to arrest is also here?
But seeing how cautious they were walking all the way, it didn't look like they should be aggressive if they came to arrest people?Now the villagers were puzzled.

Soon the county magistrate and officials came to Long Hexuan. The county magistrate first stepped forward to salute Long Hexuan, but Long Hexuan raised his hand to stop him. The county magistrate remembered Ying Sheng's explanation yesterday, so he just saluted : "I have seen Mr. Long."

Long Hexuan just nodded to him, and then told Xi Guodong: "It's time to harvest."

When Long Hexuan gave an order, Xi Guodong led the villagers who had been arranged to harvest to the field, while Zhou Zhixian waved his hand, and the officials standing behind him dispersed to guard around the rice field.

Xi Guodong also prepared three other people to tie up the rice they cut, and then pick it back to the rice drying field in the village for threshing.

Seeing that someone had already brought the first load of rice back to the village, Long Hexuan also walked back to the village. When passing by the county magistrate, he said, "Magistrate Zhou, let's go back to the village to record the production."

"Yes, Mr. Long." County Magistrate Zhou clapped his hands in response, then winked at the master, and the two of them raised their feet to follow Long Hexuan.

Seeing that Long Hexuan was going back to the village, Ying Jing and Ying Yin followed, while Ying Sheng stayed in the field and supervised the villagers who harvested rice with Xi Guodong.

The grain drying field in the village, in the middle of the village, on the grain drying field, Xi Jiaan was already waiting there with the ox tied to the stone mill.

The villagers who came back from picking the rice spread out the rice word by word, and then drove the cattle in circles to thresh.

Xi Jiaan was in charge of threshing, and Xi Jianing was in charge of separating the threshed rice from the straw, and then shoveled the threshed rice into baskets with a bamboo shovel.

Just as the threshed rice was shoveled into the basket, the second load of rice was brought back, and Xi Jiaan went on to threshing again.

Long Hexuan and the others stood by the side, waiting for the basket to be filled, and then the master brought by Zhou County Magistrate was responsible for weighing and recording the output.

Due to the large number of people, all the rice in the one-acre field was harvested in just one morning. At this time, the master was recording the weight of the last load of rice. Everyone held their breath and waited for him to announce the final result. Do you know how much rice is produced in this acre of paddy field?
