The general of the little doctor in space comes to farm

Chapter 645 Collecting Corn ([-])

After resting for half an hour after the meal, the guards brought by Mr. Zhou and the others came back from the post house, and then the Bai family arranged for work in the afternoon.

It was also the first year for Bai Shixiao and Su's to plant corn, and they didn't have a regulation on how to harvest corn, so this matter had to be arranged by Bai Xi.

"Father, take someone to cut some bamboo and come back. We'll tie up the corn stalks like sorghum stalks. Maybe we need to borrow some drying mats."

The [-]-acre field of corn needs a little space to pile up, and it takes some time to dry it. Taking advantage of the large number of people, she wants to finish all the work that can be done, so as to avoid trouble for her family.

Not to mention anything else, it would take a lot of time just to cut down the corn stalks on the [-] mu of land.

Then she and Feng Yichen took people to the field to teach those people how to break the corn, and let them peel the husks and break them back.

Among them, the unripe green corn cobs do not need to be peeled, they are directly broken off and placed in a special basket, which can be cooked and eaten later.

There are special people who carry corn to the home, and some people chop corn stalks, and a few people are also arranged at home to thresh.

She went to the space to get a few threshing tools, and County Magistrate Yang sent someone to build them as they were not.

Everyone is a novice, and the movements are not fast. Those who came here are used to being pampered, and their hands are red, swollen and blistered after breaking a few corns.

After Bai Xi explained the process clearly to everyone, he went back to the house. In the end, his father was left alone in the field, so that he could pick corn stalks to eat.

Undried corn stalks can be eaten as sugar cane, which is very sweet.

The rest of the Bai family were not idle at home. They helped out in the yard. Threshing was relatively primitive. They could only remove the corn kernels one by one. The remaining corn cobs could be used as firewood when they were dry.

In fact, Master Zhou and the others didn't bring many people with them. After Bai Xi returned to the house, he asked the people who were assigned to threshing to also go to the field to help.

In the end, only their mother and daughter stayed at home to thresh, and they called people back when they were too busy.

Su sighed, and said: "Red sweet potatoes are planted in the corn fields, and those people from the court don't know how to cherish them. If a group of people trample on the fields, I'm worried that the red sweet vines will all be trampled to death."

"The sweet potato has taken root, how can it be so easy to trample to death? But it's true that those who have never planted crops don't know how to cherish it."

Bai Xi said.

Those people only know how to complete the task, as for the others, of course they have nothing to do with them, maybe there are still people complaining about the Bai family making them work.

The villagers couldn't help laughing when they saw those people working in the fields.

The weather in July is already hot, and the dust on the ears of corn will make them itchy when they fall on them. They also wear thin clothes, so the sounds of itching here and pain are endless.

Su's thoughts jumped quickly, and he said again: "The corn planted on the [-] mu of land this year is all white. Your father asked a carpenter to make a large bucket for grain in May, and it turned out that it was no longer needed."

Farmers always have a sense of accomplishment when they see that the food is full, but they forget the harvest.

"Mom, how are we white? But the silver reward is 500 taels of gold, and dad will receive silver every month from now on, and there are other things. We earn a lot."

Hearing what the girl said, she nodded, "You're right, I'm not used to not seeing this piece of corn in the future."

"You can watch the sweet potato every day after the corn is harvested. By the way, after the corn is harvested, we will weed and turn the sweet potato vines."
