Chapter 101 Harvesting Corn (1)

After returning home, Chen Qiuxiang and Qin Muzhang devoted themselves to all kinds of work at home. For example, the rice in the paddy field is almost ripe, and the corn is almost ready to harvest now. It will take about half a month or almost a month for sweet potatoes. The time can also be collected.

Chen Qiuxiang and Qin Muzhang just had to check that the corn was ripe and ready to be picked, and they also had to check the rice on the other side of the paddy field.

For sweet potatoes, you have to wait a month.

When Chen Qiuxiang's family was about to pick corn, Chen Qiu, who sent Chen Mozhu to study in Qinjiazhuang's private school, also knew that his younger sister had to collect corn when he got married, and said that when he returned home, he would call his brothers to help harvest corn.

After harvesting the corn, I also harvested the rice that I had to help my younger sister marry, and took advantage of the good weather to dry it and store it.

"It just so happens that there is nothing wrong at home now. We are not official escorts, and we still have time to come and help your family collect food." Chen Qiu saw that the dry fields of his sister's house were growing very well, and the leaves were now withered and yellow. said the broken corn.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys." Chen Qiuxiang said bluntly.

It is no problem for Chen Mozhu to study in Qinjiazhuang's school, because he is from another village, so the fact that Shuxiu is relatively tall does not persuade Chen Qiu, and there is no need to worry too much about the accommodation, let Chen Mozhu live in his aunt's house That's it.

Of course, Chen Mozhu didn't mean that he had to stay at his aunt's house after coming here with his father, and then he could go to school directly. He had to go back with his father and bring him his clothes and daily necessities. His aunt's house.

Chen Mozhu followed his father, Chen Qiu, back home. Apart from Chen Qihang, Chen Qicheng and their four elders, only Chen Molan and his children stayed at home. All the daughters-in-law went to Chen Qiuxiang's house to help with work.

Not only from the Chen family, Chen Qiu also notified Zhao Fengling and Zhao Fengxuan, two cousins ​​from the aunt's family in the next village, and by the way called Ye Yundie, a cousin, together, a total of ten people came to Chen Qiuxiang's house to help with work.

The [-]-acre corn field also takes a long time to harvest, so it will be easier if there are more people.In addition to Chen Qiu and ten people who came to help with the work, there were also people from Qinjiazhuang's own village who also helped.

It is true that more than ten acres of corn have been planted, but it is relatively quick to harvest. Compared with harvesting rice, harvesting corn is not so hard.Some of the helpers cut off the corn stalks and tied them into bundles, and then the strong ones moved them out and put them on the open space, while some of them just broke off the corn and separated the corn cobs from the corn stalks.

Everyone took turns to work. Those who cut corn stalks, moved corn stalks and broke corn took turns to work. It was not so hard and the efficiency was much higher.

"These corns are growing really well. It seems that the yield is really high." Qin Chunlan, who was sitting on the corn stalk and breaking the corn, looked at the corn piled up next to him, and looked at the messy corn pile. She felt the same way. very excited.

There is no farmer who is not happy to see a bumper harvest, and there is no one who dislikes crops with high yields. Seeing such a high yield per mu, Qin Chunlan is also very excited.

Moreover, Chen Qiuxiang had sent corn to her family before when the corn was still tender, and Qin Chunlan had tasted the taste of corn.Although Chen Qiuxiang said that the taste of young corn is sweeter, old corn can only be ground into noodles or ground into corn balls to make porridge, which is also edible.

Although the taste of old corn is definitely not very sweet, it is the most important thing for ordinary people to be able to fill their stomachs.

Moreover, corn really doesn't pick the land very much, and the yield is still very high. Who doesn't like such a good crop?Anyway, Qin Chunlan's whole family likes it very much.

"Mu Yuniang, your family won't have to worry about food this year." Qin Chunying also said, looking at the harvest of more than 1000 catties per mu of corn, and looking at the rice in Wang Mingya's paddy field, the ears of rice are growing very long , heavy and plump, you know that the output is not low.

The yield of rice is high, and the yield of corn is thousands of catties per mu. Coupled with the yield of sweet potatoes, Wang Mingya's family must have a bumper harvest of grain.

What's more, Wang Mingya's family has planted eight acres of rice and more than ten acres of corn and sweet potatoes. Even if the yield of corn and sweet potatoes is high after interplanting, it will not be too outrageous. Thousands of catties of corn.

Ordinary people, whose family can grow tens of thousands of catties of grain in a season?Those who can collect tens of thousands of catties of grain are basically those nobles with a lot of land who can collect so much grain.

Wang Mingya smiled reservedly and said, "You don't have to worry about eating them, but these corn and sweet potatoes in my family must be used as seeds, and everyone in our village must want to plant them, right?"

"And my daughter-in-law's natal family must also want to plant them. At that time, the corn will definitely be sold as seeds. As for sweet potatoes, everyone in our village has planted some, and it would be good to keep them as seeds." Wang Mingya said with a smile. .

"That's true." Qin Chunying nodded and said, "But you can make money just by selling the corn as seeds, which is pretty good."

The others were very envious of Wang Mingya's family, but they didn't have too much jealousy or any dark psychology. After all, Wang Mingya's family had indirectly helped them a lot.

Just like the insecticide workshop and tofu workshop in Qinjiazhuang, they are all the result of Wang Mingya and his family's big house.

Now Qinjiazhuang's insecticide has been out of Huyang County. After a few months, Qin Shutan took a few eloquent young people in the village to all the villages near Qinjiazhuang, and took Yunlai Township I have visited all the villages under my family, and I have also visited all the towns under the jurisdiction of Huyang County.

But in fact, Huyang County is still quite big. Although the insecticide has gone out of Huyang County, Qin Shutan and the others did not go out. Instead, they distributed the insecticide to other towns according to the method of developing distributors suggested by Qin Muyu. There are people from other counties who go to sell.

After a few months, Qin Shutan and the others have developed a lot of distributors, and the insecticide will not be sold by them from village to village, but those people will come to buy.

In addition to the insecticide, the tofu workshop in Qinjiazhuang didn't use much soybean oil. The oil extracted by the workshop in the village was basically enough for the villagers to eat, and they didn't plan to sell it.

Because the method of soybean oil extraction was handed over to the royal family, and the royal family also built oil extraction workshops. Now soybean oil is eaten in most places. Although the price is not very low, it is not too high. Much cheaper than lard.
