Chapter 102 Harvesting Corn (2)

The Qin Family Manor never thought of competing with the royal family for business, so their workshops squeeze oil for their own food, and the workshops are more engaged in the business of tofu, dried tofu, fermented bean curd, soy sauce and other soy products. Too much oil.

Because the business of the insecticide workshop and tofu workshop is getting better and better, and the workshops are slowly expanding. More and more people in the village are working in the workshops, and they have a lot of income every month. Let the villagers of Qinjiazhuang appreciate Qin Songtao and Wang Mingya's family.

Because the prescriptions for insecticide and tofu were all taken out by their family. They generously handed over the prescriptions to the clan, and then let the clan set up workshops, and let everyone in the village have jobs to make them. The money earned from selling the things they own is also used by the clan, and the people who benefit from it are all from the Qin Family Village.

You must know that the money earned by the Qin clan in Qinjiazhuang in the past few months was really used to buy the sacrifice land in the clan, to improve the school, and to help those widowed and lonely Qin clan members. earned during this time.

People with other surnames in Qinjiazhuang are also beneficial. They are all from the same village in Qinjiazhuang, and their children can also go to private schools. You can also earn money by working.

Just like the three brothers and sisters of the Wang family, because Qingzao has been working in the insecticide workshop for the past few months, although their family has not yet said that they have saved enough money to buy land, Qingzao has also changed their bodies for their younger siblings. new clothes.

The three brothers and sisters are able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, and their house has been repaired a little bit, and the home without adults is not bad.

Thanks to Qin Songtao's family for their generous prescription, this time Qin Songtao's family harvested corn. Qingzao didn't have time to help because he had to work in the workshop, but his younger brother Dongzao and younger sister Hongzao came to help.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old Dongzao is still very agile at work, so work like cutting corn stalks can be done by Dongzao, and Hongzao is still a little girl even though he is almost nine years old, so let her follow Wang Mingya and the others in the house. Just break the corn later.

Hongzao likes Wang Mingya very much, because she is a girl and her mother doesn't value her very much, and later she didn't even have a mother, so Hongzao has basically never felt maternal love since she was a child.

But Wang Mingya gave her the feeling of a mother. Even though Wang Mingya didn't love her so much and didn't treat her like her own child, the warmth Wang Mingya gave her made Hongzao feel that she was also loved by her mother, so she I like Wang Mingya very much, and I am very attached to her.

The girl Hongzao is also a more measured person. Although she is more clingy to Wang Mingya, she doesn't follow everywhere. They are all attached to Wang Mingya.

But as long as she is free, or when Wang Mingya is free, she will come to Wang Mingya and learn a lot from Wang Mingya.

Although Wang Mingya doesn't know how to embroider as a female worker, she knows a lot of life principles and can read and break characters. She knows a lot of things. The girl Hongzao can learn a lot from Wang Mingya.

There are no elders in the family, let alone female elders. What Hongzao learned from Wang Mingya has benefited her a lot in her life.

Now breaking corn with Wang Mingya, although Hongzao doesn't talk very much, he likes to listen to Wang Mingya chatting with several female elders, and the elders will also explain some truths to Hongzao during the chat, which can be regarded as teaching her.

Hongzao was delighted to see Wang Mingya, who was still very beautiful even after becoming a grandmother.She really likes Wang Mingya, she thinks she is beautiful and gentle, and treats her very well.

Hongzao is also very self-aware. The reason why she likes Wang Mingya so much is because she is beautiful, which accounts for a large part of the reason.

Even if she is just a little girl less than nine years old, she is also a face control, who doesn't like to look at beautiful beauties?
Everyone broke the corn while chatting. After a while, when the people who cut and moved the corn over there came to rest, the people who originally broke the corn also switched to chopping and moving the corn.

That is to say, red dates and the others, who were younger than ten years old, were not given the job of moving corn for them. It was okay to chop corn, but they had to be careful.

After a busy day, Chen Qiuxiang harvested about one-third of the [-]-acre cornfield. After that, it took about two and a half days to finally harvest all the corn. The corn cobs were broken off and directly dried in the field , When it gets dark, take it home and put it in the yard of your home to dry.

The harvest of corn is really a lot. In this era when the yield of rice grown in even the best fertile land is only a few hundred catties, the corn yielding thousands of catties per mu is definitely high yield for many people.

The main thing is that the yield of the rice and wheat that everyone grows is really not high. The yield of the first-class fertile fields is only about five to six hundred catties per mu, and the yield of those low-quality fields is four to five hundred. Jin is already very good.

Therefore, grain crops with a yield of one thousand catties per mu are really high-yield grains for ordinary people. With these high-yield grains, they don’t have to worry about going hungry. The main thing is corn, which can be planted on dry land and wasteland. In such poor-quality land Planting it can still yield a thousand catties per mu.

Who doesn't like such a good crop?
When Chen Qiuxiang’s family harvested corn, not only ten people came from her natal family, but also people from Qinjiazhuang’s own village came to watch the fun. After seeing that Qin Muzhang’s family harvested more than 1000 corn per mu of land, everyone couldn’t help being surprised. Call miracle.

"Isn't the yield of such corn too high?" A villager couldn't help sighing as he looked at the piles of corn cobs.

"Although the corn has not been dried yet, I heard that the cob in the middle of the corn cob is not edible, but so much corn has been dried, and there is a lot of yield after breaking off the corn kernels. There is definitely one acre of land. A thousand catties."

"Songtao's family has planted twelve acres of such high-yield corn, which is at least tens of thousands of catties of grain."

"Tens of thousands of catties of grain, I have never seen so much grain." The villagers discussed while helping a little while watching the excitement.

"That's right, I haven't seen tens of thousands of catties of grain." Another villager couldn't help but said.

"I don't know if Songtao and the others are willing to sell us the corn seeds, so that we can plant corn when the food in our field is harvested. I heard that the corn is not only mature as it is now, but can be dried and ground into flour, tender corn It's also delicious and sweet."

"It is true that I have heard that tender corn is delicious and sweet. I heard that Azhang's daughter-in-law gave a few home-cooked tender corn. After eating the corn kernels, you can chew the cobs inside. It is also very sweet. Just like It's like eating sugarcane."

In fact, there was sugarcane in the south of the Yong Dynasty, but now few people grow sugarcane at home, and the sugarcane is basically the kind of yellow-skinned sugarcane, the kind with very hard skin and thinner body, which is the kind in Qiong Province in later generations. Sugarcane, the kind used to extract sugar, is often grown.
