Chapter 718 Collecting Peanuts (Part 6)
"Okay, okay, it's useless to talk about it now, after the autumn harvest is over, let's go to the town and have a look!" Xu Yibai ended the topic.

It's not that you can raise whatever you want, you always have to see if you can meet a good cub.

While speaking, they had reached the end of the land.

The peanuts in this acre of land are still well taken care of, and they are green at first glance, which is gratifying to look at.

Just digging peanuts is troublesome.

Digging peanuts is the same as digging sweet potatoes, both require a hoe, but the size of peanuts is smaller than that of sweet potatoes, so you should be more careful when digging the hoe and stay away.

Otherwise, all the peanuts will be broken in the soil with a hoe.

Gu Changping couldn't do the work of turning a hoe, so at the beginning, he just had to wait on the sidelines, and when the three of Hongdou and the others walked away with a hoe, he went over with a basket and shook the dug out peanuts. Drop the soil and throw it into the back basket together with the branches and leaves.

Such peanuts are carried back directly, and then slowly removed one by one when they get home.

Three people hoeing together, one mu of land is still very fast, but one or two hours have already passed.

But go through it again.

Some peanuts inevitably broke and were buried in the soil. After all, they were planted with hard work. Even if the ground was not touched inch by inch, it should be turned over again.

The second time is much slower than the first time.

By the time the second pass was over, the sun had already set in the west.

Supporting the hoe and straightening up, Hongdou couldn't help moaning softly.

Farming is really not a job that ordinary people can do!

After such a day, my waist is bent, and when I stand up straight, I can hear bones cracking.

Mainly, you can't make any money yet.

Hongdou just thought about it for a while, and quickly put this idea behind her.

When going back, Gu Zian pushed the cart, and the cart was piled high with branches and leaves of peanuts.

Not only was the cart full, but the baskets on the backs of Hongdou Gu Zian and Xu Yibai were also full.

If you only take peanuts home, a cart is more than enough.

But who asked the branches and leaves to be brought back together!
Although these branches and leaves are not edible, they can be taken back and dried in the sun, which is also very good for lighting fire.

When we got home, it was almost dark.

The dew was heavy at night, so these things were piled up in the utility room first, and then they were taken to Dongkua courtyard to dry when the sun rose the next day.

I was tired all day, so I didn't prepare anything complicated at night. I simply ate porridge and buns and went to bed separately.

After breakfast the next day, the four of Hongdou transported the peanuts to Dongkua Yard, dumped them on the ground, and then moved a small bench to sit on, holding scissors and cutting off the peanuts one by one.

The cut peanuts are temporarily placed in a clean basket, and when the basket is full, they are carried to a clean place, and the peanuts inside are poured out and spread out on the ground.

There are quite a lot of peanuts in one mu of land, and they even spent a day growing them.

Not only the peanuts need to be dried, but also the branches and leaves of the peanuts.

It just happened to be sunny for a few days in a row. After four or five days in the sun, both the branches and leaves of the peanuts and the peanuts were dry.

The peanuts were bagged and put away, and the branches and leaves were piled up under the shed for kindling.

After being free, Hongdou thought of one thing.

In her previous life, she had heard that the wheat in many places in the north was winter wheat.
