Chapter 367 Harvest and Share the Grain
After all the millet was harvested, it took several days to dry it all.
The grain station attaches great importance to this batch of grain. As soon as it is harvested and dried, the grain station drives away and collects the grain.
Originally, most of the rice was piled in the brigade warehouse, but as soon as the people at the grain station left, most of it was empty. Many people looked at this scene and secretly wiped their tears, reluctant to part with it!
But there is nothing you can do about it. This is not the future. Not only do you not have to pay food taxes for farming, but you are also given subsidies. Although it is not much, the little money the villagers spend to buy pesticides should be enough.
The next day, the village divided the food in the brigade warehouse among the people. Adults got 25 jins, and those under 14 years old got [-] jins.
Although there is still some rice in the brigade warehouse, it is for next year's rice seeds, and there is hope for next year's harvest. No one can touch the kind.
Although there was only rice, everyone was smiling. Qin Jiang and Qin Xi received a total of fifty kilograms of grain, and they were in a good mood.
As for Wan Yu, there was no division in the village, and Qin Xi didn't make any trouble.
Rice is barely considered a fine grain, so there is no problem in replacing coarse grains at a ratio of one to three.
If the Qin Xi family's fifty kilograms of rice were exchanged for coarse grains, they could get back about 150 kilograms of coarse grains. The food crisis that was just around the corner was greatly alleviated.
After sharing the food, everyone's enthusiasm was completely ignited. The villagers took care of the dry land where peanuts, soybeans, corns, sweet potatoes and potatoes were cultivated with diligence.
At the same time, the reservoir was released again, which lasted for a whole day. Since then, the water level in the reservoir has fallen below the gate, and the remaining water in the reservoir cannot be released.
After hearing the news, the villagers were shocked and regretful. If they had known this would happen, they would have paid closer attention when building the dam. Even if it didn't work, they should have repaired the dam as soon as possible after the rain stopped. In this way , so much water will not leak out in vain.
At that time, water seemed useless and worthless. Now it seems that water is more precious than gold. With water, there is food. This is life-saving food.
When people are really going to starve to death, gold and other things that are not suitable for eating or drinking are of no use, and food is the king.
Crops grow well in dry fields that are soaked by water. Even the weeds growing in them look more watery than the weeds growing on the road that have been short of water for a long time.
The first thing to mature is the soybean. When the leaves of the soybean plant turn yellow, the villagers will pick up the leaves of the soybean, leaving only the trunk and soybean pods.
Then use a sickle to cut off the soybean plants, put them in a basket, and take them back to dry in the sun. When you step on the pods lightly with your feet, the pods will explode, and the soybeans will be in the state of exploding.
Of course, the efficiency is too low if you step on it with your feet. Villagers usually take a big stick and beat the stacked soybean pods hard, and finally screen them one by one to ensure that no fish escapes the net.
For some pods that have not been fully exposed to the sun and cannot be popped, villagers need to sort them out one by one, break open the pods with their own hands, and take out the soybeans inside.
The soybeans are almost harvested, and the corn can also be broken off. After all, the leaves are all withered and yellow. Break them back and dry them in the sun. When the time comes, divide them together and put them in bags for safety.
Just two days ago, a lot of corn cobs were stolen from the fields nearby. It was because they were so hungry that some people took risks. If they didn't break the corn back, who would get the advantage in the end?During this period, the enthusiasm of the villagers for work was unprecedentedly high, and peanuts were harvested later. As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, it was not yet time!
Especially sweet potatoes are the last to be harvested. Because the sweet potato vines are buried in the ground, it takes a long time to grow again. You have to wait until early October before the sweet potatoes can be grown.
It's not good to start the sweet potatoes too early or too late. If you start them too early, the sweet potatoes will be small and haven't fully grown yet. Unfortunately, if you start them too late, you'll get frost, and the sweet potatoes that haven't grown back after frost will be ruined.
When harvesting peanuts, the mung beans, adzuki beans, and black beans planted in the corners of the field are all harvested together. Harvesting these things is much easier than digging up peanuts with a hoe. It is an easy job, but the work score is not high. That’s all.
But what is easier is picking peanuts. It takes three working minutes a day. You don’t have to bend down or walk. You just need to sit in one place and keep picking peanuts.
Qin Xi was doing the simplest work, and Tang Ying was sitting next to her. The two of them were picking peanuts and talking at the same time, which was called leisurely.
Next to them were the ladies, all sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, picking peanuts.
The site was very dusty, and there was no other way. The weather was too dry, and the peanuts couldn't be pulled out at all. The villagers dug them out with a three-tooth rake or a four-tooth rake, one rake after another.
Peanuts are dug out of the soil, so they are naturally muddy.
There were people at the scene who also had the important task of watching them pick peanuts, because some people were greedy and put the peanuts in their mouths as they picked.
If no one was here to watch, all of these people would be here, filling their bellies with food.
"Have any relatives come to your home?" Bai Yanzi looked at Mrs. Qiu Yu.
She is old and has grandchildren, so naturally she wants to do some light work. The job of picking peanuts is very suitable for her. If she catches the opportunity, she can sneak one or two. The rolled up trouser legs are also good for her. I can bring some peanuts back with me.
In this regard, the young person is not as experienced and thick-skinned as she is. Even if others see it, they will only look at her twice and not believe that anyone dares to break up with her, so they directly tell the matter to her. go out.
Even if there is such a stupid young man, hiding a few peanuts is no big deal, she is not afraid of such a small scene.
"Yes, it's my second brother. He said that the family has run out of food." When Mrs. Qiu Yu said this, she frowned. It was obvious that this incident made her very embarrassed at the time.
Don't borrow it, that's her second brother, which makes her very ruthless. If this happens, it will be difficult for her family to return. If nothing else, the second sister-in-law will not give her a good look. Let's borrow it. , my family can’t survive the detention, and the daughter-in-law at home is not allowed to rebel!
"Then did you agree to borrow it?" Bai Yanzi asked.
She said that she heard the noise next door yesterday, but she didn't see anyone coming to the door with her own eyes, so it was not good to follow them rashly to watch the fun.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiu Yu seemed to have seen her own difficulties yesterday, and she frowned, feeling very unhappy.
Although I borrowed the food, I regret it!The whole family is complaining about her, she is really not a human being inside and out.
