Alpine Orchard

Chapter 110

For Ye Mo, carrying millet is easier than threshing.

Ye Mo carried bags of millet back one after another.

"Xiaoye, after you finish carrying this bag, go home and take a shower." Seeing Ye Mo coming again, the second uncle shouted.

"Ok."

The millet is almost finished, and the millet in the field is threshed with a bag above the millet.

After Ye Mo carried the last trip, Lin Xiaolin spread out the drying mat and was drying the millet.

"Have you finished beating the millet?" Lin Xiaomian asked.

"It's almost over." Ye Mo dropped the millet: "Do you want me to help?"

"No need, hurry up and take a shower, come over for dinner." Lin Xiaolin said.

"Okay." Ye Mo stretched his arms.

Threshing millet is more tiring than picking fruit.

It's only been a morning of beating millet, and my body feels exhausted.

When I got home, I took a hot shower, washed the changed clothes, hung them to dry, and went back to my room to lie down for a while.

Xiaomian's parents have come back.

"Xiaoye?" Yun Xiulan shouted, thinking that Ye Mo had fallen asleep.

Ye Mo sat up.

"Are you tired?" Lin Shan asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Ye Mo said, "When will the millet be harvested at home?"

"People from the threshing team will take a look in the afternoon. If it's cheap, I'll hire someone to beat it." Lin Shan said.

During this period of time, I was laying bricks in Changzhu Village, that is, this month... I have to rush to work, I have to work overtime every day, and I am very tired.

If it is possible to invite someone to come over, if it is not too expensive, then please hire someone to call.

There are more than three acres on their side. If they finish farming by themselves, let alone shed a layer of skin.

"Have you finished catching all the lobsters in the field?" Ye Mo asked.

"Not much. After the millet is finished, we'll clean it up again." Lin Shan walked in, handed Ye Mo a cigarette, and said, "It's also the first year we have mixed rice and shrimp, and the output is lower than expected." a lot of."

Ye Mo saw on the Internet that rice and shrimp are mixed. Generally, one mu can harvest 160-200 catties of crayfish.But the actual situation is not the case.

One hundred catties of crayfish can be harvested per mu, which is considered pretty good.

Fortunately, the price of crayfish is good this year.

When they came to Xiao Lin's house, they had already dried the millet.

Lin Xiaomian was helping to cook in the kitchen, when she heard her second aunt talking about Lin Xiaomian: "Your hair is dyed like a girl."

"Don't talk about me, I already know I'm wrong, I'll go to the city to dye my hair back in the afternoon."

"The hair color you dyed is really bad."

"Second Aunt." Ye Mo went in and shouted.

"Hey." The second aunt responded and came out of the kitchen: "Sit down, the food will be ready soon."

At noon, I stewed an old hen with yam stew.

There are also bacon and sausages, fried meat with lettuce, fried meat with bamboo shoots...

Soil shoots, a type of bamboo that only grows bamboo shoots in summer.Bamboo shoots are very bitter, so they need to be boiled and then washed with water before being used to stir-fry meat...

There is also the fish caught last night, and a large pot of spicy crayfish.

After beating millet all morning, Ye Mo felt exhausted.

Sitting down, drinking beer and eating crayfish, I feel more comfortable than ever.

"You made this crayfish?" Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian.

Lin Xiaomian nodded: "It's delicious."

"Delicious." Ye Mo said, looking at her hair.

How to say, a bit uncomfortable.

With a little pink hair, Lin Xiaomian looks even more immature, her skin is pale, and she feels like a high school student.

Ye Mo still thinks black hair looks good...

"When will your millet be harvested?" The second uncle looked at Lin Shan and asked.

"People from the threshing team will take a look later. If the price is right, they will pack it out for hunting. If it is too expensive, we will start working in the afternoon." Lin Shan said.

"For the threshing team, it costs 500 yuan per mu of millet. Over there, it is estimated to be 500 yuan per mu, which is not worth it." The second uncle said, "It's better to do it by yourself. We will help you to harvest it in two days. Finish."

"Let's ask first. If 400 yuan can be negotiated, it will be given to the threshing team. We are also quite tired during this time..."

The millet on their side is growing very well, and the yield per mu is more than 1000 catties.

But the price of millet is cheap, only more than one yuan per catty.If it is for the threshing team, even if it costs 400 yuan per mu... that kind of millet will not make much money.

Here they use a harvester to harvest the millet, which costs about 130 yuan per mu.

In the mountains, there are mostly small pieces of farmland, and the harvesting cost of the harvester is also expensive.

At the same time, there are still many farmland harvesters on their side that can't get off, so they have to harvest by themselves, or hire someone to harvest...

After eating, people from the threshing team came over and went to see the seedling fields.

The seedling field is right next to their house, but there is a lot of mud in the field.Harvesting this kind of seedling field will be very tiring.

The quotation is 480 yuan per mu, which is more than 1 mu in total.

This price is too high.

It is equivalent to giving half of the millet to the threshing team.

The millet is ripe and ready to be harvested.

After doing the math, it costs 3.4 yuan to harvest 1600 mu of millet.

Under the persuasion of their second uncle, Lin Shan and the others decided to harvest by themselves.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, he went to the seedling field to cut millet and worked until after eight o'clock in the evening. Ye Mo was really exhausted.

……

Woke up the next day feeling sore all over.Thighs, calves, arms...the muscles in the lower abdomen all hurt.

Xiao Mian's parents got up very early.

Ye Mo got up from the bed, they had already cut a good piece of millet.

More than three acres of millet were harvested in two and a half days.

Fortunately, there are second uncle and second aunt to help, otherwise I would have to work for two more days.

Ye Mo gritted his teeth and persevered the whole time...

Lin Xiaomian helped serve tea and water, and caught lobsters in the field.

After beating millet for only three days, Ye Mo felt his whole body go numb, and all his movements were like marionettes on strings.My muscles are sore all over, my walking posture, my body is uncoordinated, and I have no strength...

This is Ye Mo's first real threshing.

In the past, I heard people say that threshing millet was very tiring.His family also planted millet when they were young, but that was when they were young... How much work could he do when he was young.

It is not an exaggeration at all that only those who have really threshed millet will truly understand "who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work".

I have sweated more in these three days than in three months.

Xiao Mian's parents are also very tired, but they seem particularly energetic and energetic.Ye Mo was much worse. After a few days, he felt like he was going to be useless...

Threshing millet is tiring, and drying millet is also very hard.

There are tiny burrs on the millet, which are very itchy when they stick to the body.

After threshing the millet in the field, put away the sun-dried millet.

Lin Xiaomian made dinner with spicy crayfish.

After the second uncle came over, he took the wine from the refrigerator: "Xiaoye, have a drink with the second uncle."

"Okay." Ye Mo sat down with a smile.

Lin Shan made it with the crayfish, sat next to Ye Mo, and looked at him with a smile: "Threshing millet, are you tired?"

"Tired." Ye Mo said.I'm really tired...

"Hahahaha..." The second uncle opened the beer with a smile: "In the countryside, the most tiring thing is the time of threshing millet. If you want to be the son-in-law of our old Lin family, you will inevitably come to threshing millet every year from now on."

"We will plant less millet in the future, just enough for ourselves to eat." Second Aunt came over and said with a smile.

Lin Shan smiled, and looked at Ye Mo: "It's still easy on your side, don't grow millet, but grow fruits."

"Growing fruit is not easy. And the busy time of farming is relatively long...but it is much easier than threshing millet." Ye Mo said, seeing his second uncle pouring wine for him, he quickly stood up: "I will do it myself."

"Sit down and I'll pour it for you."

"Where's Xiao Lin?" Seeing that his second uncle had poured wine into his bowl, Ye Mo asked.

"I'm here." Lin Xiaolin had already come, and was still in the living room. Hearing Ye Mo's voice, he walked over with a smile: "Isn't threshing millet easy?"

"It's very comfortable."

"Hahaha... I've been beating millet for half a day, and I'm still sore." Lin Xiaolin said with a smile, "If you're not tired, we'll go fishing after dinner."

"Don't go."
