Qingcheng thought about it and went to the team leader and said, "Uncle, you said there will be no limit on the number of wild buffaloes and wild donkeys, but what about pheasants and rabbits? If every household raises more, will we not have to worry about not having enough meat?"

I will go to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits, and get a few from every household. Then I can get some pheasant eggs, and then hatch chicks myself. Can I eat them anytime?

Just put it in a cage or build a chicken coop or something, right?

Upon hearing this, the captain smiled and said: Yes, the country says that we cannot raise too many domestic chickens, but it does not say that we cannot raise pheasants, so go and catch them.

After he finished speaking, all the teeth from laughing disappeared.

Qingcheng nodded and said, "Okay." Then he disappeared again. When he appeared again, he put all the things at the foot of the mountain. He went back and forth, and finally there was no more room at the foot of the mountain, so he went to find the captain. He asked him to find someone to get the pheasants, rabbits and pheasant eggs. The captain can divide them up.

When everyone came over, it looked like a zoo, full of pheasants, rabbits and pheasant eggs.

The team leader arranged for people to count them, and the number was 5,000 pheasants, 3,000 hares, and 5,000 pheasant eggs.

The captain didn't know what to do when he saw them. It was the first time he saw so many.

The team leader said: Each household can take it by themselves, there is no need to fight for it, just line up and take it. Each household can take 30 chickens, 20 rabbits, and 50 eggs.

Take it back and kill it and eat if you want, or raise it if you want. There are eggs too, so you can hatch chicks if you want. If you don’t like them, you can eat them.

If the family has good maternal and child support, you can send ten back to your maternal and child support. If the maternal and child support is not so good, then don't send any. But I'm just saying, you can handle the rest on your own.

It still felt a little bit unreal when everyone took their food back home, but when they got home they all happily started killing chickens and rabbits and eating the meat. After all, there was a lot of meat, and they were all male ones, so from that day on, everyone would never be short of meat again.

Every household has cows and donkeys, and they are all bought. Even the commune can't stop them, haha.

Three days passed in a flash. During these ten days, the captain's wife told her the required size and style of the fabric for the wedding dress.

Qingcheng also finished embroidering the wedding dress. The day before going to work, she delivered it to the team leader's home and went back.

The captain's wife didn't give any money, and Qingcheng didn't know when she would get the money, so she didn't ask.

When the captain came back and saw that the wedding dress was embroidered, he asked his wife if she had given the money.

The captain's wife was stunned when she heard this and said: I forgot about it because it looked so good, haha, that silly girl didn't even remind me.

The team leader was speechless and said: The girl didn't know at first that this cost money, so she only found out after I told her. At first she said no, but I told her it was a custom and she couldn't refuse it, so she agreed to take it.

The captain's wife smiled and said: That girl really has a hard time, and she looks silly. You ask her to catch cows in the mountains, and she goes to catch them. You ask her to catch pheasants and rabbits, and she goes to catch them. Why does she look so silly?

The captain nodded and said: Yes, she was so silly. I didn't even tell her how many centimeters to give her, but she quickly grabbed it twice. By the time I reacted, she was gone.

This kid is too honest, he doesn't even seem to know how to fight for his own interests.

The captain's wife said: You said it too, she herself said that they are not short of money now, so she didn't think about what you give. After all, there is not much we can give in our village. Now every household has meat. When you want to eat in the future, you can just kill one, and you don't have to worry about the danger of going up the mountain.

Every household has a cow now, so work is no longer so tiring. The autumn harvest will start tomorrow, and this time it may start a week earlier.

Upon hearing this, the captain laughed and said: At least half a month in advance.

We don't have much land, so after paying the grain tax, we will start to reclaim the land. This year we have cows, so reclaiming the land won't be difficult.

The captain's wife sighed and said: Since this girl came here, our village has started to get better.

This is not a reincarnation of a koi, haha

The captain also smiled happily.

The gathering started at seven o'clock the next morning. Usually it started at six o'clock. Now that we have cows, we don't have to rush them so much.

When Qingcheng heard the call to assemble, she went out and gathered at the threshing ground. Then she started to get tools. Qingcheng got a sickle and started cutting corn stalks.

At the beginning, everyone was worried that the child would get tired, but who knew that he was much faster than the people in front who were breaking corn. The people breaking corn were one person per row, while the people cutting corn were one person at the back, six rows each. Every time Qingcheng had to wait for the people in front to finish breaking corn.

So it took a lot of time. After the harvest, Qingcheng went to break the corn. Then everyone saw a little man breaking two rows in the corn field, and then he was so fast that he left the people behind. After Qingcheng finished breaking his own, he started to get new ones and continued to break. In the morning, Qingcheng broke fifty rows, which was a bit outrageous. One row was at least a hundred meters long.

Everyone ate on the ground, and then continued to work after eating. Qingcheng worked a hundred ridges in a day.

Everyone was so tired that they didn't even know whether they were tired or not. They just broke up quickly, thinking that others had already done it three times. They hadn't even finished it once, so they had to break up quickly. Just like that, a day of chasing and fighting ended.

Time passed as Qingcheng picked corn seeds day by day. After five days, all the corn was picked. Qingcheng went to get a sickle and started to harvest the corn. In this way, everyone was forced to work by Qingcheng. They started to work hard and finished the entire autumn harvest in ten days.

After finishing the work, everyone felt like they were no longer themselves, and it was done twenty days earlier. Is this something a human would do?

It took another two days to drive out all the corn kernels that were to be paid as public grain. The team leader then went to pay the public grain with the others, while the rest of the people continued to peel the corn kernels.

Qingcheng looked at it and felt that using her hands was indeed tiring, so she went to the carpenter's house and asked him to get her some iron. Then she went home and started hammering away. In one day, she made a machine specifically for separating corn kernels.

When Qingcheng brought the machine to the threshing ground, everyone asked curiously: "Feng girl, what is this thing?" Now no one calls Feng Qingcheng "educated youth" anymore, they all call her "girl".

Qingcheng smiled and said: This is a corn thresher. I will teach you how to use it. If it works well, we will make a few more. This way, not only will everyone be less tired, but it will also be faster. In the future, all the corn in our fields can be threshed in two days.

Then he started to teach everyone how to use it, but they were told not to put their hands in because it was made of sharp iron. If they put their hands in, they would get hurt at best, and their hands would be lost at worst.

Everyone started to use it according to Qingcheng's method. Not only did they put the corn cobs directly into the machine, they didn't need to put them in one by one, but everyone could just throw them in. There was a person here who specifically wanted to use it like riding a bicycle, pedaling with both legs.

When someone gets tired, they take over, so we can finish about half of the work in one day, if we get 10 more machines. If we get 20, we can finish the work in one day.

Everyone worked enthusiastically. Qingcheng said: If it works well, I will go back and make more. Uncle Cheng will find ten more people and we can work together. In this way, we can make about ten today.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hu smiled and said: Okay, I'll go home and get more iron.

Qingcheng nodded and said: If you take the previous ten quantities, you can make ten, and if you take the twenty quantities, you can make twenty. Just take as many as you want.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hu smiled and said: I see, let me see how much iron I have at home.

Qingcheng took the rest of the people back home and poured everyone a bowl of iced mung bean water to drink to cool off.

Soon Cheng Hu drove over, Qingcheng went over to help take it down, and then started to pour everything into the furnace he made, and then started to light the fire. While lighting the fire, he explained to everyone when they could pour the molten iron into the mold.

Everyone listened very carefully. Half an hour later, Qingcheng began to tilt the furnace and then poured the molten iron into the mold. After it was formed, he used water to cool it down and poured another one in. He repeated this thirteen times before the molten iron inside was completely poured out.

The first one was ready to start, and Qingcheng began to teach everyone how to assemble the thresher.

I explain to everyone one by one how to make it with wood, and then let everyone make it one by one according to the drawings. Practice makes perfect, so it may be very busy at the beginning, but it will be quick once you are familiar with it.

After everyone finished making one, they began to assemble it according to Qingcheng’s method. When everything was assembled, everyone realized that it was already dark.

Qingcheng handed another blueprint to Cheng Hu and said, "Uncle Cheng, this is for you. This is for making a waterwheel. In summer, you don't have to carry water to irrigate the fields. This waterwheel will be very convenient for everyone."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hu smiled and said: Okay, then uncle won’t be polite with you, you should have a good rest.

The captain came over at this time and said solemnly: Girl, uncle thanks you on behalf of the Longyue Brigade.

Qingcheng shook her head and said: Uncle, what are you talking about? Am I not also a member of the brigade? The villagers are tired, and I can't bear it. I am very happy that I can think of a way to help everyone. Don't say such things again in the future. Uncle will take the drawings to the commune tomorrow. I hope more villagers don't have to be so tired.

After Uncle Cheng has finished making the waterwheel, we will give the blueprint to the commune after we have conducted experiments. This will also be the honor of our team.

The captain and a dozen other big men were stunned when they heard this. Was he not going to take all the credit?

Qingcheng looked at everyone and said with a smile: I don't need such credit, and I am a member of our team. My ideas are the team's ideas, and everyone's ideas. Only our collective honor is real honor, and personal honor means nothing.

It is the efforts of everyone that have brought us to the present results. There is a saying that if only one person is rich, that is not called wealth. If a country is rich, that is the real wealth.

The eyes of the group of men turned red when they heard this. Anyone can say that, but how many people are really willing to give up their contributions to everyone?
