Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 225 The Power of the Machine

After dinner, Su Mu sat in the yard with everyone to enjoy the cool and chat.

The weather has entered summer, and the green and yellow wheat waves on the farm can be seen from a distance.Wheat is ripening quickly. Sometimes it looks moist and green in the morning, and when the hot wind blows all morning, the ears of wheat turn golden yellow at noon, and the roots of the mangos are straight like steel needles.

There is a slight breeze, and the golden wheat makes a crisp friction sound.

At that kind of heat, the wheat should really be harvested.

Otherwise, if it is delayed, the mature wheat grains will easily fall into the field, and when the conditions are right, they will germinate and grow wheat seedlings, or become dry and shriveled wild wheat that looks like weeds in the coming year.It will take a lot of manual work to get rid of it quickly, otherwise it will become more and more lush, and more wild wheat will grow in the next year.

The wheat on the farm is obviously not ripe yet, but everyone has already started preparing.

Because there is space for water to moisten; and the villagers in charge of management are very serious and responsible, so there is no weed in the field, and the wheat can grow as high as the thigh of the sumac tree. The ears of wheat are three or four inches long, and each is thick. It was so strong and heavy that even Su Mu, who was not very knowledgeable about farm work, felt that this year was definitely a bumper harvest year!
The villagers also discussed from time to time that there are too many wheat fields on the farm, and harvesting wheat is a job that competes with God's time. They say that such good wheat cannot be ruined.

A few days ago, the village head began to fumble with the sickle, waiting for the wheat to be ripe before directing the harvest.

This year, everyone didn't farm any land, and without exception, they contracted the fields to Su Mu, so they were able to devote themselves to the harvesting work.

In the past, when it was time to harvest wheat every year, every household was too busy to eat and sleep.

The grown-ups cut the wheat in the fields with their waists bowed and scythes, and the older people helped to bundle and load the wheat, and then transported it to the big square in the village with a small cart.

While the sun is good, spread out and get sunburned for a while, and then start rolling with a stone roller.

As the saying goes, in June, the weather can change at any time. If it rains heavily when harvesting wheat, it will be miserable!

Not to mention the water seepage of the ripe wheat, if the wheat is not dried in time and has no time to thresh, small buds will grow on the ears of wheat.Even if this happens, everyone must be reluctant to throw away the germinated wheat, so in the next year or so, the steamed buns at home will have a musty smell.

If the weather is good, the grains can be returned to the warehouse smoothly, and bags of wheat can be poured into the warehouse, and the hanging heart can really be put back in the stomach, and then you can prepare to grow corn with peace of mind.

Su Mu fully planned the farm in the spring of this year. This is the first time that the villagers have seen so many wheat fields, so they all sweat a little in their hearts. If the wheat grows so well, if it is really soaked in water, it will be thanks to what!So even though they didn't say anything, everyone was suffocating in their hearts, and they all planned to wait until the wheat was harvested to gather all their strength and grab it back!
But today he and Ou Chen came back with a big weird-looking machine. In contrast, the young man who came back with that machine was not so curious. Almost everyone put their curiosity on the machine. Stop at the machine at the entrance of the village.Especially after hearing from Su Mu that after the machine was able to harvest wheat, even the village head scratched his lungs curiously, looking up, down, left, and right for a long time.

Now, while they were enjoying the cool under the grape arbor in the yard, they came over to join in the fun.

"Muzi, what is your new machine? It looks weird, and it's so big! How can you harvest the wheat? Such a big thing, once it enters the wheat field, it will crush all the wheat. Is it?" The village head chatted with them for a while, and also expressed his warm welcome to the newcomer Huang Zhuo, and then took the time to ask himself the most interesting topic.

"It won't crush the wheat. Didn't you see that the front of the machine protrudes? The protruding part cuts the wheat and then separates and threshes it inside; the remaining pulverizer pulverizes all the straw and returns it to the field. It is environmentally friendly and fertile. After harvesting the wheat, use the land selection machine to select the land, and then use the machine to plant corn. Our harvest season is almost over."

Although Su Mu didn't know much about the principle of the harvester, he still understood the general content of the work, so he picked up the simplest one and explained it to the village chief.

"What? That machine is so smart? I looked at it stupidly, is it really as amazing as you say?" The village chief was so surprised that he didn't even bother to smoke, and continued to ask: "According to what you said, we don't have to worry about harvesting the wheat? It can be harvested and threshed, and in the end even the crushed straw is dried. What can we do when harvesting the wheat?
Then... I started grinding my sickle several days in advance, and I was thinking that if the weather is bad, I will have to get up early and wait until dark to cut the wheat!If there is such a capable machine, can we all stand on the ground and watch the fun?As powerful as you said, wouldn't the machine work much faster?

How about this way, you take Xiao Huang to start the machine and start working at one end; I lead everyone to start working from the other end in a stupid way, so it won't delay the work! "

Hearing what he said, Huang Zhuo couldn't hold back his joy immediately, "Uncle, have you never seen a combine harvester? It stands to reason that every household has bought a color TV, and you can see it on TV, right? Using a machine If you go through the wheat field and harvest the wheat, the speed will be slightly slower than the usual speed.

Even if the weather is bad, it is much faster to hurry up than to do it manually.I discussed it with Muzi, and when the time comes, we will directly spread a large plastic sheet on the ground, and once the wheat grains in the cabin cannot hold it, we will pour it directly on the plastic sheet.Everyone just needs to help put the wheat on the plastic sheet into sacks and transport it to the truck, and then pull it back to dry in the square.

I think the sun is very good here, and the wheat is almost ready to dry a little.Harvesting with a machine is fast and efficient, and it saves a lot of worry.

Muzi's farm is indeed quite big, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take several days to harvest it.We pay attention to the weather forecast in advance, and generally there should be no exceptions.In fact, if it rains, as long as it is not a heavy rainstorm, you can continue to use the machine to harvest. At that time, you just have to think about it and let the wheat dry a few more times. "

"My mother, it's no wonder Muzi said last year that all the work of the whole village could be done with one machine! If it weren't for the fact that our income is quite high now, we can go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, and grow medicinal materials. Yes, I’ve been flustered for a long time! Think about it, we’re just guarding this acre of land and relying on our strength to eat. With machines, we have no place to sell our strength, how scary it is!”

The village head kept gasping for air, sighing in his heart.

Fortunately, Su Mu has stabilized people's hearts now, otherwise the whole village would be devastated when they encountered such a machine!
