Chapter 123 Harvester Efficiency (Part [-])
Everyone has seen the efficiency of Xiao’s rice harvester in harvesting rice. Except for a few families with cattle, many people choose to harvest with rice harvester considering that they have cattle and need straw.

However, this harvester machine is a bit too big, and when it passes by, it will always spoil some crops in the field. For this, Xiao Wanshan will always give some compensation. Although the villagers refused, Xiao Wanshan insisted on paying, and the villagers also agreed. Just accept it.

Xiao Wanshan took a walk in the field and saw the rice of several villagers who were almost yellow, so he discussed with them, "Uncle, the rice of your families is almost yellow, let's cut it together when the time comes, so that the machine is good It's more convenient for everyone to go. Otherwise, it's not easy to come one by one!"

Everyone saw such a big harvester, of course, they also considered this problem, and said, "Well, no problem, when the time comes, let's harvest together."

Xiao Wanshan reminded, "You guys need to prepare more snakeskin bags. When it comes to fashioning millet. For one mu, you need to prepare at least fifteen bags. When packing millet, you also need more people, so it will be faster."

The villagers laughed immediately, "Haha, Wan Shan, we have all seen the rice harvesting situation of your harvester. Don't worry, we will prepare more bags. If we don't prepare more, the millet will be packed in other people's homes."

During the first collective harvest of rice, there were a dozen households with a total of [-] mu of land.

On the same day, during the harvest, besides these reapers, other people in the village came to see it, and there were more people than Xiao Wanshan who harvested his own rice.

"The convenience of this machine for cutting rice is just that. When it comes to driving to the field, the road is not easy and inconvenient. These narrow ridges, the machine cannot go at all, and can only go through other people's fields. But the field also grows If other things are removed, the machine will be ruined as soon as it is removed.”

"It can't be helped. If this machine can be lifted like a threshing machine, we can lift it with a little more effort. But such a big machine, twenty or thirty people don't know if it can be lifted. What's more, even if it is lifted up, this person still has to go down and spoil the things in the ground, it's not the same."

"Anything has advantages and disadvantages. Today, it is said that ten families will be cut off, forty or fifty acres of land. I don't know if it can be cut off in one day."

"It should be possible. I heard from Xiao Wanshan that such a harvester can harvest hundreds of acres of land in a day."

"That's what I said. It's okay to connect all of them together. Look at our land, this piece belongs to your family, and that piece belongs to my family. They are not together at all. Where the harvester moves, there is no place for it." needs time."

"That's true. However, it is very powerful to be able to harvest forty or fifty acres of land in one day. If it takes all the manpower to cut forty or fifty acres of land, I don't know when it will be cut. Now the harvest As soon as the machine cuts it, it can be immediately transported to the grain drying yard to dry in the sun, which is really much more convenient."

The harvester went down early in the morning, and the villagers got up before dawn.

In autumn, the weather is not hot, and everyone is not in a hurry, so they finish the work early.

People who want to harvest rice have prepared the snakeskin bags and tied ropes for grain early on.

Because every family is not together, the harvester starts from the nearest family, which is also the land of the village head.

This is five acres of land.

As soon as the harvester drove into the field, it circled the field for a few minutes, and then drove to the side of the field ridge, and then, the grain was released from the funnel, and the village chief and others were immediately busy holding the snake skin Sacks are opened, and the grains are filled, and one bag after another.

It took less than half an hour to harvest all the five acres of land. The village head's family also harvested more than 20 bags, and then asked several young adults to carry them on a tricycle, and then transported to the sun-drying field by the tricycle.

Then the harvester went to the next house.

"Before, when Wanshan's own rice was harvested, it seemed that it was not so fast, but now it is much faster."

"Hehe, before Wanshan's family tried it out, they were not so proficient. Now that Xiao Wanlin is proficient, of course it is faster."

Xiao Wanlin was the person Xiao Wanshan invited to be his master, and he was also a cousin of Xiao Wanshan.

Back then, when Xiao Wanshan decided to buy a harvester, he thought that he and his son didn't have the time to drive the harvester, so he hired his cousin as the driver.

Xiao Wanlin agreed without any hesitation.

Xiao Wanshan planned to pay him to learn, but Xiao Wanlin refused, and he spent his own money to learn how to operate a harvester.

After all, this is a technology, and the skills you learn are your own. It doesn't make sense for my cousin to ask him to drive a harvester, pay him a salary, and spend money for him to learn.

On this day, the land of ten families, [-] to [-] mu of land, was successfully harvested at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing this, the villagers exclaimed again, "The speed of this harvester is really too fast. It really costs a little money to take back the rice, and it will be done sooner."

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, rice harvesting is a very time-consuming and busy task. Now that it is completed all at once, many people can't help but feel excited.

Spend some money to save yourself trouble and effort, and not so tiring, why not.

So, everyone got together, looked at their own millet, the degree of maturity, discussed it, and planned to harvest together.

One is that it is convenient for the operation of the harvester, and the other is that everyone harvests together. When doing work, such as loading and transporting the millet, there are more people.

"My rice can be harvested around September 22. Is your rice yellow?"

"I went to the field to have a look, and it can be harvested at that time at my house."

"It seemed like harvesting was possible in my house at that time."

"It is estimated that my family will grow for a few more days, and it is still a little blue now."

"Then let's go together, yours, and then go and see if other people are harvesting together."

"Well, these days, I found a part-time job to repair the ditch in Dashi. It costs 35 yuan a day, and it can be done for a month. I can ask for a day off when I wait for the harvest."

"Ah, is that right? That's great. It costs more than 1000 yuan to work for a month."

"It took a lot of time to harvest rice before, and I didn't have much time to do odd jobs. Now with this harvester, it is much more convenient."

"It's true. Although the straw can't be left, but the family doesn't raise cattle, so the straw is just piled up in the field as fertilizer. Now after cutting, it's directly left in the field as fertilizer. It's also easy."

"However, the families that raise cattle still need straw. They exchange harvests with each other, or hire people to work. Alas, I heard that they don't want to raise cattle anymore."

"In the past, cattle were raised because they were needed to plow the fields, but now that there are plowing machines, there is no need for cattle."

"Hehe, it's really convenient to do farm work now. There are tillers for plowing the fields, harvesters for rice harvesting, rice transplanters and rice transplanters, all of which have become mechanized."
