The happy life of Queen Nong

Chapter 369
It's not the first time for Qingsang to see the farmers picking up the rice. She has also seen the peasant uncles seriously pounding the rice before, but now she has to do it herself, uh!
This is a bit embarrassing.

Pounding rice is to use something similar to a pounding pot to knock off the ears of rice, exposing the rice grains inside, but it is somewhat unusual from the pounding pot.

To pound rice, the rice should be bundled into bundles, and then placed in a base similar to a container and smashed hard to smash the ears of rice from above. The ears of rice are light and can float when the wind blows. , It is a crystal clear rice grain.

There is no need to collect the rice grains, they are already there, but for the ears of rice, it is still necessary to collect them manually, because the ears of rice can feed chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle, which is the best nourishment.

Qingsang's family only had one mu of fertile land, so they cleaned it up quickly, but Liu's family was different. His family had a total of five mu of land, all of which were fertile fields, so the project would be a bit big. Lin would occasionally come to help, and half a month later, the work including pounding rice was over.

At this time, the autumn air is crisp, and some rice that has not been pounded is spread out in an open area to be exposed to the sun, so as to evaporate the water inside and facilitate storage.

Ning's and Liu's affairs are over, and Ada and the others are taking care of the workshop. Qingsang is rarely free these days. She is sitting on a pile of grain at the moment, looking at the villagers who are busy in the fields in the distance Friends, I suddenly remembered a song in my childhood: I sat next to the high grain pile, listening to my mother tell about the past...

After thinking about it, I actually hummed it, er, the childlike innocence is still alive!

"Sister, where is brother-in-law?"

Ning Qingshan and his cousin Ning Qingya also came over, the two little kids seemed to have a special affection for this grain pile, watching Qingsang sitting on it, dangling his two little feet, and climbing up one by one .

Qingsang really wants to kick her younger siblings down, it would be nice if the grain pile can bear the weight of her alone, you two little brats can toss like a monkey, so aren't you afraid to come up and knock down the grain pile?

But judging by the cautious appearance of the two, they were sensible, so they didn't stop them.

The rice harvest period is only once a year, so the two of them can play around for a while. It would be nice to have more fun in childhood.

At this time, a woman came to the right of the grain pile, she was the third aunt of the Yang family next door, and seeing Qingsang and the others idle, she couldn't help shouting: "Qingsang, are you done with your farm work?"

Qingsang lowered her head and took a look. Although the third aunt of the Yang family likes to talk about some things on weekdays, she never said harsh words that hurt others, so Qingsang had a pretty good impression of her, and said in a huff: "Yes. , I’m all busy, and I’m rarely free.”

"Hey, where's your man?"

Qingsang said with a smile: "Go to his own house to do some work!"

Xiao Lin's family also has two acres of land, but the quality is not very good. After paying taxes, it is barely enough for the family to eat.

Hearing that Xiao Lin had something to do, the third aunt of the Yang family looked embarrassed: "Busy, good, good boy, you are really diligent..."

"Auntie, why does it seem that something is wrong? Why don't you tell me if there is something wrong?"

Qingsang narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, she naturally saw that the third aunt of the Yang family wanted to ask her for help, oh no, she wanted to ask her "man" for help.

Xiao Lin worked very quickly. The work of harvesting, drumming and pounding rice, which would have taken several days, was shortened by half the time in his hands. It should have been a busy season, but the Ning family and the Liu family were very relaxed. At home, this will inevitably make others worry.
