Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 344 The Wheat Harvest

In May, the days were long and the nights were short, and it was still bright when dinner started, but it was completely dark when everyone had dinner.It was rare for the peasants to open their mouths to eat. This meal was really like what Qiao Yun said. In the end, there was nothing left on the table, and even the vegetable soup was used to make rice.

Even so, those children were still clamoring for meat, and finally, Qiao Yun got a group of babies to their side.They ate relatively little at this table, especially meat, and basically didn't move much.

Seeing this, the daughters-in-law of the farmers couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and wanted to take the child away.But Qiaoyun didn't care, and asked everyone to separate the meals on the table, each family took some back, and gave it to their children tomorrow morning.In addition, there are some leftover vegetables in the pot, and let the daughters-in-law take some back, and warm them up for the family tomorrow morning.

Although it was rare to have good wine and good food, the men did not forget to get drunk. After all, they had to work tomorrow, and drinking too much would inevitably delay things.Liu Zhuangtou has always been in control, only let everyone drink some wine to satisfy their hunger, and then they are not allowed to drink.Everyone could understand it, so no one said anything, just ate their meals, and then packed up their things and went home.

The women stayed behind, and after cleaning the dishes, each family happily went home with their belongings and the vegetables that Qiao Yun specially ordered to pack.On Qiaoyun's side, she also brought people together for a while before going back to rest.

Aunt Yun and the others saw it with their own eyes this time, so they finally understood that not everyone eats like the people in the house.Thinking of the empty table just now, and thinking of the scene where so many delicacies left in the mansion were thrown away, Aunt Yun couldn't help sighing.

"No wonder people say that the wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. I have really realized it until today." Aunt Yun has been with the eldest princess since she was a child. Although she is a slave, she has never suffered.Today's scene really touched her a lot and shocked her.

"If my aunt goes out and walks around more often, she will know that this is nothing at all. These people can still fill their stomachs anyway, and there are more common people who have worked hard for a year, and in the end they can't even fill their stomachs. Well. I don't have any great skills, I just hope that these people in Zhuangzi can have enough food and clothing."

When Qiao Yun heard Wei and Yun's conversation, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.She doesn't have much ambition, she just wants the people around her to be well. For this goal, she may need to work harder.

Everyone had been busy all day, and none of them felt relaxed, so they went back to their houses to rest. Soon, the whole Erzhuangzi was silent.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the farmers resumed their usual busyness, pulling back the wheat from the fields one by one.In the wheat pressing field, twenty or thirty people are driving the animals, pulling several rollers to press the wheat back and forth to thresh the wheat.Then use the wind to remove dust and awns, etc., and then put them in sacks and temporarily store them in the warehouse.

Qiaoyun bought a total of 1000 acres of land, of which 500 acres were planted with cotton, another [-] acres were intercropped with cotton and watermelon and melon, and another [-] acres were intercropped with wheat and cotton.For the rest, five hundred acres were planted with wheat and others with other crops.The more than [-] mu of wheat took half a month to collect all of them.

This year's situation is good, the weather is good, and the yield of wheat is not low.On average, one mu of land harvested more than two stones, which is about two hundred fifty or sixty catties.This yield, in Qiaoyun's eyes, is really very little. In the previous life, every mu yielded thousands of catties.

"Girl, we have a bumper harvest of wheat this year. I made a rough estimate, and the wheat alone can harvest [-] shi. This yield is really good, and it wasn't so much in previous years. That's intercropping with cotton. Yes, the harvest is not too small, one acre of land can harvest one and a half stones. Now it depends on the cotton production, if it is not bad, then it will be profitable."

Liu Zhuangtou and Qiao Yun thought completely differently. In his opinion, the output was completely beyond his imagination. "Miss is really a lucky person. We haven't had this kind of production in this land for several years. Well, that's great." Liu Zhuangtou rubbed his hands excitedly.

Qiaoyun nodded when she heard the words, because she took it for granted, this is not the previous life.Nowadays, it is completely artificially planted, without chemical fertilizers, and only farm manure is used, relying on the sky for food.In addition, the seeds are different, and it is indeed not bad to have this output.

"It's all thanks to the big guy. If it wasn't for Uncle Liu leading the people so busy, how could there be such a good harvest? Don't worry, Uncle Liu. I know that the big guy is working so hard. In the future, your benefits will be indispensable. "Qiaoyun didn't think how capable she was, it really had nothing to do with her, she didn't dare to take credit for it.

When Liu Zhuangtou heard Qiaoyun's words, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.After getting along for such a long time, Liu Zhuangtou also understands Qiaoyun's temper. Since Qiaoyun said so, he must not be wrong.They have been so busy this year, isn't it just for Tuhe to eat enough and not starve?Now that I have a good master and have enough food and clothing in the future, that is the greatest blessing.

"Girl, my little one has other things to do. Next, we need to irrigate the fields with water and continue to plant a crop of rice. I really can't be free, so I have to arrange work quickly." Liu Zhuangtou was happy, but I didn't forget that there was still something to do, so I hurriedly said goodbye and left to arrange the next thing.

There are generally two stubbles of rice and wheat here. Of course, this has higher requirements on the land and requires more fertilizers.It is not possible to plant all of the [-] mu of land with rice, and other arrangements must be made for some of the land.Of course, Qiaoyun didn't care about these things, she was not as proficient in these things as Liu Zhuangtou, and she just followed Liu Zhuangtou to make arrangements.

As soon as Liu Zhuangtou left, Aunt Wei and An Shi came in from outside, "Girl, we have lived here for a while, we should go back to Haining, girl, do you want to go back with us?" I understand, Qiaoyun will not follow back, but just asked casually.

Haining still has a lot of things to deal with. If Qiaoyun doesn't go back, she has to rely on Aunt Wei and the others to take care of her.It's been half a month since Aunt Wei and the others came to Zhuangzi. Before the wheat harvest, Aunt Wei and the others couldn't do much, but at least they could help with cooking and so on. They were finally helping hands.Now that the wheat has been taken back, Aunt Wei and the others should go back to Haining.

"Auntie, I won't go back to Haining. The other end of the weaving workshop is about to be completed, and all kinds of machines will come next, so I have to stay and watch. There are two aunts at the other end of Haining. I am very relieved and won't go back .By the way, this time I will let my elder brother escort you back, my sister-in-law is so tall, let him stay in Haining for a while."
