Chapter 105 Harvesting Rice (1)

Qin Hongshan went down to help cut off the people in front of him, took handfuls of rice on the root of the rice, brought it to the side of the threshing machine, and said to Qin Chun who was busy threshing, "Uncle Chunhe, let me I'll give it a try."

Qin Chunhe looked at Qin Hongshan's eagerness to try, and helplessly threw aside the rice stalks in his hands from which the grains had been completely removed, and then stepped aside for Qin Hongshan to try.

Under the guidance of Qin Chunhe, Qin Hongshan held the root of the rice stalk, put the ear of rice into the thresher, and turned the rice stalk in his hand while stepping on the pedal, so that every grain of rice could be crushed.

"You have to be careful, you can't put your hand in too much, if you get hit by this thing inside, the injury will be minor, be careful not to break your hand." Qin Chunhe warned seriously.

Qin Hongshan nodded and said, "I know Chunhe Uncle, I will be careful."

Although Qin Hongshan was warned by Qin Chunhe, he was still very excited. He finished the handful of rice in his hand. After throwing away the rice stalk, he ran excitedly to find other rice to bring over for threshing. .

Qin Hongshan, who was originally interested in asking Qin Muzhang whether he could sell dace with tempeh, was attracted by the pedal thresher. He looked very happy when he was helping with the work, and forgot why he came here.

Not only Qin Hongshan, but also the villagers of Qinjiazhuang who came here one after another when Qin Muzhang's family was cutting rice, because the pedal thresher would make a humming sound when it was running, so nearby Everyone heard it.

They were all curious about what the sound was, and of course they were even more curious about the fact that the rice in Qin Muzhang's family grew so well that the yield per mu was unknown.

So, with curiosity about the yield per mu, and curiosity about the things that made the humming sound, Qin Muzhang's family landed more and more people one after another.

Unsurprisingly, those men were all attracted by the pedal thresher, and went down to help work like Qin Hongshan one by one.

The women were also embarrassed to watch, and those without sickles went down to help move the cut rice to the men for threshing.

"Isn't this thing really easy to use? The threshing is very clean, and it doesn't have to be so tiring." A woman watching the excitement couldn't help but sigh when she was moving the rice to threshing for others.

She also grows and cuts rice since she was a child, and after harvesting and drying the rice, she has to thresh the rice. She grew up in this kind of work, but she knows how hard it is to thresh the rice.

I didn't expect that one day I would be able to thresh the rice so easily. Who doesn't like to be able to work more easily?

"Yeah, this thing is really convenient for threshing rice." Another woman also sighed, "Just be careful, don't let children play with it, and adults should also pay attention, otherwise you will definitely get hurt."

"But this thing is really useful. I wonder if Zhang and his family can lend this thing to our family after the rice is harvested."

"It should be ok? Zhang and the others are not the kind of stingy people."

"Even if Zhang and the others are not stingy, there are so many families in our village. Zhang's family only has two threshers. Who should I lend them to? Don't forget, Zhang also has grandparents and several uncles."

"It's true, even if Zhang's family wants to borrow the two threshers, they should be loaned to his grandparents and their family."

"It doesn't matter if we can't borrow it, as long as Zhang can make such a thresher for our family, it will be easier for our family."

"makes sense."

There were quite a lot of people talking about the pedal thresher while helping, and then Qin Muzhang's cousins ​​also came to help, and the cousins ​​and sisters-in-law also came to help cut the rice.

Because there were many people helping, Qin Muzhang's family had cut six acres of land in half a day. If there were so many people helping to cut rice in the afternoon, all the rice fields of Qin Muzhang's family would definitely be cut.

Qin Muzhang's family really had too many helpers. For example, ten people came from his wife's family, his cousins ​​also had a dozen or twenty people, and there were also a dozen or so people who came to watch the fun. There are almost fifty people in total.

Twenty people can cut three or four acres of land in one morning, not to mention Qin Muzhang's family now has nearly 50 people, so they can cut six acres of land in one morning.

The reason why only six acres of rice was harvested was because some people came to help one after another later, and they didn't come here at the beginning. After a little delay, they didn't cut so much rice so quickly.

At noon, Qin Muzhang checked the time, and it was about half past noon, so he called the others to rest, went home to eat lunch, and waited until Weishi to cut the rice. At noon, he was not in a hurry and didn't even take a break rest.

Chen Qiuxiang was called back by Qin Muzhang to cook. Although it was not easy to prepare meals for dozens of people, Qin Muzhang still asked Chen Qiuxiang to go back and prepare.

It just so happens that the family has just harvested corn, so dozens of people can use cornmeal to make pancakes for lunch, and after making pancakes, they can wrap some side dishes or something, so there is no need to work so hard to cook too many meals.

When Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya went home to prepare lunch, the people in the field were still cutting or threshing rice.At noon, Qin Muzhang asked the rice harvesters to stop, otherwise the harvested rice would not be finished in a while, which would delay everyone's lunch.

"It's really a lot, isn't Zhang's rice production too high?" The people who cut the rice sat on the ridge of the field covered with rice stalks and looked at the sacks in the empty field behind. The bulging sacks explained It is filled with rice grains.

Now Qin Muzhang's paddy field has been mowed to six acres, and the rice that has been harvested has been filled with about 100 bags. These sacks are very large and can hold more than [-] to [-] kilograms of rice.

So thirty bags of rice add up to more than 6000 catties. You must know that there are still a lot of rice that have been harvested and have not been threshed. If all the rice has been threshed, there must be at least 30 or nearly forty bags of rice.

You can tell just by looking at the output. Qin Muzhang's rice output is high, and the output per mu is over a thousand catties.Such a high output has never been seen by anyone in Qinjiazhuang.

Even if it is rice that is carefully served by old-fashioned crops, if the yield per mu reaches six to seven hundred catties, it is already a bumper harvest, and it can definitely be said to be an auspicious bumper harvest.

But I didn't expect that the rice of Qin Muzhang's family could produce thousands of catties per mu, and it's not just a thousand catties per mu, there may be fluctuations, or rising fluctuations.

"There's a lot of rice, Zhang's family harvested five or six acres of rice, right? There are more than 30 sacks packed in. Such a big sack can hold two hundred catties, right?"

"So much rice is too much. Aren't the rice in Zhang's family a different kind of seed? Also, when their family planted rice, they raised seedlings first and then transplanted them."

"Is it because the seedlings are raised first and then transplanted, so that the rice grows so well?"
