Men who have been working all year round can naturally tell the size of this wheat field at a glance, but when they think about the time it takes to harvest without wheat samarium, it takes two people to harvest, and it cannot be done in less than two hours.

"Huo San, your wheat field has two acres, right?"

"Then there's still a lie? It's just two acres of land!"

"Based on two acres of wheat land, if it takes half an hour, two men can't harvest dozens of acres of wheat a day with this new tool?"

hiss~

Huo Yunchao raised his voice and said: "This uncle is right! My father and Brother Yao can really harvest dozens of acres of wheat fields in one day with wheat hoe! If you don't believe it, you can just wait and see for a day. My father and Brother Yao have a total of With ten wheat hammers, I will harvest all my wheat fields today! Tomorrow my father and the others will form a wheat harvesting team and go to other villages to earn hard money by helping others cut wheat at a penny per acre."

Originally, I just praised Huo Yunchao's idea of ​​using wheat samarium, but how could I have imagined that he would actually think of forming a wheat harvesting team to earn cash?

Seeing the different expressions of the villagers, Huo Tianxiang added to Huo Yunchao's words: "When the Huo family's wheat field is harvested today, if anyone in the village needs our wheat harvest team, just ask! When our village's wheat harvest team is finished harvesting, the wheat harvest team will Then go to other villages to look for it. This village gives priority to harvesting. We only charge one penny per acre! Harvesting wheat is physical work, and you earn hard-earned money. No bargaining."

Liu Lezi counted on his fingers. His family's six acres of wheat land would take three days to harvest, and even a favored man like him would have to work in the fields.

If you spend six cents and you can cut all the wheat in the field in half a day, this is a very cost-effective deal!

but……

Liu Lezi couldn't help but beg Huo Tianxiang. He rolled his eyes, turned around and went to his wheat field. He told his wife, who loved him the most, about Huo Tianxiang's establishment of a wheat harvesting team, and tried his best to encourage his wife to spend six cents.

It was not just Liu Lezi who was present who thought so. Many heads of families who could speak with him immediately stepped forward to make reservations with Huo Tianxiang.

After harvesting the wheat, it has to be threshed and dried. The sooner they can cut the wheat from the field and take it home, the more at ease they will feel. They are willing to spend a few pennies on it.

Everyone admired that since Huo Yunchao decided to get married, his mind seemed to have brightened up.

Huo Tianxiang announced in public that he would set up a wheat harvest team. The main members of the wheat harvest team were young adults from the Huo family, and ten handfuls of wheat samarium were not enough.

Fortunately, the Huo clan has a respected old patriarch, who can choose people, thus saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Huo Yunchao talked to the elder Huo in advance and asked him to select young and strong clan members who he could trust in advance.

"Old patriarch, the wheat must use the sickle I specially asked the blacksmith to customize. My father has ordered twenty more sickles from the blacksmith, which is enough for the young men of the Huo clan to form a wheat harvest team of thirty people. Thirty people work together. The operation not only guarantees safety, but also builds the reputation of our Huo's Wheat Harvesting Team. Every time the wheat is harvested, we can earn money. It is a good business that makes money every year and has a steady stream of money."

With the old patriarch as a clear-headed leader, the Huo family's wheat harvest team only took one day to harvest the Huo family's wheat field. The next day, they went around the village's wheat field, and the wheat was harvested quickly and well. Place it on a bamboo mat in the field.

The owner of the wheat field does not have to

Go to the fields to cut wheat, and take advantage of the good weather to quickly thresh and dry the wheat, which greatly reduces the labor intensity.

Especially for the underpopulated families in Pingle Village, who are tired and hungry during the wheat harvest and cannot bear to eat some meat to replenish their health. Who would have thought that this year, by spending only a few pennies, they would save several days of money on meat!

A pound of good-quality pork belly costs twenty cents!

Even a little bit of meat costs more than ten cents a pound.

This deal couldn't be better!

When Huo Tianxiang led the wheat harvest team to harvest wheat in eight villages, some smart people in the village came to Xu's house to look for Huo Yunchao, carrying chicken, duck, fish and meat that they could give as gifts.

The leader was an old acquaintance - Aunt Yao. Aunt Yao shouldered everyone's hopes and came to Xu's house carrying a bottle of good wine and a fat chicken.

"Ning Niang, I would like to ask on behalf of everyone, can we imitate the samarium? The Huo family is a big family in Pingle Village. We just want to make a samarium for our own use. We have never thought about competing with you for business."

When Huo Yunchao came back from outside, he happened to hear Aunt Yao's words. He said with a smile: "I have no intention of hiding the method of making wheat smelt, and I am willing to share it. But I have to wait for my father and his wheat harvest team to come back. I still say the same thing If I want to make new farm tools, I have to earn back my capital."

Aunt Yao knew about this, so she had the confidence to come to the door and ask: "Huo Dalang, I know your rules. Everyone just wants to hear what you say."

Huo Yunchao thought for a while and said: "Ms. Yao, anyone with eyes can see the benefits of wheat samarium. Well, I can teach them how to make wheat samarium. But they must give me ten bamboos from each household. Again

Help me soak all the bamboo in the river. This is my request. If anyone is willing, let them send bamboo to the river tomorrow. "

Aunt Yao had already noticed that Huo Yunchao soaked a batch of bamboo. She looked at Huo Yunchao's expression carefully and asked tentatively: "Huo Dalang, can I ask what you want to use the bamboo for?"

Huo Yunchao did not hide his secrets. He conveyed his plan openly and openly: "To make paper, I learned to use bamboo to make paper in the book. But the bamboo must be soaked, and there is still a lot of work in the follow-up. People in this village must To learn how to make maima, I only ask for ten bamboos. If people from other villages come to learn, I will ask them to spare a day to work for me."

"Paper? Paper for pens, inks, paper and inkstones?" Aunt Yao is indeed the daughter of a salesman. She has a strong sense of business and can catch the key points immediately.

Huo Yunchao drew a big, round cake for Aunt Yao, "Yes! Aunt Yao, just publicize it to the outside world. If my bamboo paper can really be made, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the Huo family alone."

When Aunt Yao came to Xu's house, the wine and chicken she was given were all put together by a small group. She got two such important pieces of news at once, and when she went back to deliver them, she was highly praised by the small group.

After seeing Aunt Yao off, Xu Ning asked: "Ms. sir, is what you just told Aunt Yao true? Can you really make bamboo paper? Does bamboo paper really require so many people?"

Huo Yunchao expressed his plans and wishes: "Yes, if bamboo paper can really be made, according to my plan, if we want to make paper, the combined manpower of our entire village will not be enough. Ning Niang, I We want to create a more comfortable environment for our children

To live in a living environment, we don’t have to live as hard as we do. If pens, inks, paper and inkstones were self-sufficient, all the children in the village would be able to afford to read. Our son doesn’t have to worry about not going to school, and our daughter doesn’t have to worry about being illiterate. "
