Exile Transformation [Farming]

Chapter 28 Autumn Harvest

In the evening, I ate noodles and stuffed beans.

Old man Shen was yelling about eating noodles before, but Mrs. Shen blocked her back, but she made it in the end.

Making noodles is indeed a big project for the Shen family. There are so many people in the family. After kneading the noodles and rolling out the skin, and finally cutting them into noodles, the pot can't be so much.

This time, Mrs. Shen gave it very generously, adding a spoonful of mushroom sauce to each bowl, and stirring it lightly, the whole bowl was full of fat.

"Mother, tonight's noodles are delicious!" Shen Mei took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to take another bite.

Seeing how delicious her food was, the others moved their chopsticks too. For a while, the whole hall was filled with the sound of noodles being sucked.

Old man Shen was panting after eating a bowl of noodles, and couldn't help but want to eat another bowl, "This taste is strong enough, old lady, why didn't I realize that the noodles you rolled are so delicious before! Do you have any more? I'll have another bowl!"

"It's in the pot, fill it yourself!"

"Okay! Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!" Old man Shen said this, which he remembered from Shen Yu's words before.

After a meal, all of them ate a full stomach!

"Mother, today's noodles are delicious, we will eat them tomorrow!" Shen Guyu leaned in her mother's arms, coquettishly!

Shen Yushi smiled and said, "But you have to ask your grandma, and your grandma will agree!"

Mrs. Shen patted her head with a smile, "Tomorrow can't be done. Tomorrow will be the autumn harvest, breaking corn, chopping corn stalks, turning the soil, and then harvesting wheat and rice. I can't be too busy for a month or two. "

"Oh! Grandma, shall we eat noodles after harvesting the wheat?"

"Okay, when the wheat is harvested, grandma will cook a big bowl of noodles for Gu Yu to eat!"

"Good! Grandma, you are so kind!"

The next day, just after dawn, Shen Yu was still dreaming.

"Boss, second, third, fourth, fifth!" In the courtyard of Shen's house, old man Shen's angry voice rang out.

With a plop, Shen Yu almost fell to the ground, Shen Yu rubbed his sore buttocks, and resigned himself to getting up to wash up.

All of a sudden, the Shen family's yard regained its vitality and was bustling with activity.

Those who should cook cook, those who should work should work, and those who should pick mushrooms should pick mushrooms.

Shen Yu was the member who went to break the corn, and he set off with a small basket on his back.

There were old man Shen, third son Shen, fourth son Shen, third daughter-in-law Shen Yushi, fourth daughter-in-law Shen Jiangshi, Shen Yushui and Shen Jingzhe.

Old man Shen pushed his wheelbarrow and walked in front, the others followed behind carrying baskets, only Shen Yu and Shen Yushui and Shen Jingzhe walked behind carrying baskets on their backs.

When Shen Yu saw this wheelbarrow, he was surprised. Isn't this the kind used by northerners in their previous lives?

Moreover, this wheelbarrow is very big, with a circle of wooden boards on the top of the cart, which can hold three baskets, which is equivalent to a small donkey!It can easily pull more than 200 kilograms.

Old man Shen said proudly, "At the beginning your mother stopped the beating, she said Fei Qian and my comrade was trying to make me happy, or I thought my comrade didn't lie to me and insisted on beating me, now your mother can't I have nothing to say!"

Looking at the triumphant old man Shen, Shen Yu silently looked away: "Okay!"You can do it!

"At the beginning when I was looking for Carpenter Tan, he asked me for 500 Wen. I didn't agree. I gave him wood, and he charged me 80 Wen less! After the incident, everyone in the village saw that my car was good, and they all went to him to do this. Yes, he even gave me two taels of silver!"

Pfft, Shen Yu almost didn't laugh.

The corn field is near the small barren mountain, and there is only one mountain away, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk there.

On the way, they met a lot of people from the same village, all of them were busy with the autumn harvest, all of them were carrying burdens, or carrying baskets on their backs, and some, like old man Shen, were pushing a wheelbarrow.

Everyone is in a hurry, and they just say hello when they see each other, and rarely stop to chat like other times.

When they arrived at the place, the whole family broke the corn together, Shen Yu's body had an instinct, and he immediately started to do it!But when he saw the corn in his hand, he was stunned, no one else, this corn is too small, only palm length, more than ten centimeters long, Shen Yu can guarantee that it will never exceed fifteen centimeters.

He thought this was an exception, and broke a few more. The same size was also so big, and it was fuller than the first time.

Then, he heard old man Shen's happy voice, "Hey, this year's corn is good, and it is estimated that it can hit two stones!"

"That's right, this year's corn cobs are very full, and they are rarely deflated!"

Shen Yu was relieved when he thought that this was ancient times. He forgot where he saw it. In ancient times, if the yield per mu was 300 catties, it was considered as an upper field, and if it could produce more than 240, it was considered a middle field.

What's more, the ten taels of catty in that catty is not the one catty here.

Shen Yu remained calm and went straight to the corn.

When the back basket is full, put the corn into the basket, then pick it down the mountain, put it on the wheelbarrow and push it back!

The corn is smaller, so naturally it is not heavy, and it will break a large area as soon as the basket is heavy.

Eight people broke it, and within a short while, only two loads were broken, and old man Shen pushed it back. When he came, he brought breakfast, a large basket of cornmeal steamed buns, and the mushroom sauce made yesterday.

Break open the cornbread and add a little mushroom sauce, the taste is really a treat!After taking a bite, it seems that the energy that was used up just now has returned, and the whole person has strength again.

After eating a good meal, everyone's energy is even stronger.

In the six mu of cornfield, the eight of Shen Yu and the others had cleared nearly three acres in the morning, and in the afternoon they left for the help of the two brothers, Boss Shen, and they finished breaking up before dark.

After a day of exhaustion, Shen Yu went home in the evening in a daze, in a daze of heat, but when he came back to the yard and saw a pile of corn cobs, he came alive.

The corn in this era is not as good as it is in the past. The corn cobs are not big, and the kernels are still small, and they are all big cores. Such a large yard looks bluffing, but in reality it can only be harvested more than 1000 catties.

It is not difficult to break the corn, but how to cut the corn stalks is rare, and you have to move them back, and then turn the ground

Well, after the first half of the year, we will have a good harvest next year!

It's not easy for three women at home. They have to do housework, eat whole food, water the mushrooms, and thresh the corn. The corn kernels in this era are small, and there are no threshing machines. Everything is done by hand. .

Fortunately, Shen Mei and Shen Lichun are also 13 years old and can help with a lot of things, otherwise they will definitely not be able to keep busy.

Afterwards, the man went out to dig the ground, took the ground and dug it well, Shen Yu suggested, "Father, let's move the mushroom material at home and sprinkle it on the ground, the weather is just right, you can dry it in the sun!"

When the third child heard this, he laughed loudly, "Be careful, the fifth child finally wants to deal with that pile, not to mention the smell of the messy roots!"

"You can't blame me either! There is no free space at home. Last time I harvested the winter wheat field, I didn't pile it up either. I can only say that growing mushrooms is a good job. It can make money and fertilize the land!"

"The fee is also true!"

"I agree with this. Our family's eight-acre field of winter wheat can be burned for several months. As a result, three batches were made, and we went to Uncle Xiang's next door to buy three bundles!"

"After we collect the corn cobs, let's make the ingredients again! Let's make more this time, try using corn cobs?"

Fourth Shen looked at him in disbelief, "Fifth, everyone has no grudges! The corn cob is so hard, how can you chop it up?"

Shen Yu was taken aback, this is indeed a bit difficult!

"Forget it, let's continue to use the wheat stalks! If you don't have enough, go to the village to collect some. If you ask me, it's best to collect the wheat stalks in the village. After the rice is collected, it will be collected together!"

"How much does this cost!"

Shen Yu said, "It's not too much. We have to use [-] catties of materials in a month. It's still dry. It's [-] catties a year. This much is not enough for our family, and we have to collect it!"

When other people hear it, don't they!

"Old Wu, have you forgotten the firewood? You have to use a lot of firewood every time you make materials. This is still a problem!"

Shen Yu was taken aback, and asked in a daze, "Did I not tell you that the material after planting mushrooms can be used for fire after drying!"

The third child glanced at Shen Yu angrily, wondering whether the younger brother was telling the truth or not.

"Old Five, you really didn't say that, you just said that it can fertilize the land, but you didn't say that it can light a fire!"

"Anyway, it's all wheat sticks, so it can definitely burn a fire. It's just that the firepower is not strong, but we didn't expect such a big fire!"

"If you have little firepower, I have time to ask shopkeeper Hu to find out where there is coal for sale. I heard that this thing is resistant to fire, so it can save people watching the fire!"

"Where is the need to find shopkeeper Hu? What kind of black coal are you talking about? Can it be used for fire?" Seeing Shen Yu nodding, Shen's second child continued, "I know this, someone in the next town sells it for 500 yuan One car is enough for a family to use for a month, but some people don’t smell good and feel dizzy after smelling it, so not many people use it!”

"It's okay, we don't need someone to guard us, we won't be dizzy!"

"Then let's buy a batch and come back to try it out. If it works well, we'll use it to make materials in the future!"

"it is good!"

The third child asked suspiciously, "Aren't we discussing whether mushroom buns can be burned? Why are you discussing buying coal!"

Everyone was taken aback, yes!It's not a question of whether the mushroom buns can be burned!

"Ahem, then I won't buy coal. I'll dry the mushroom bags first to see if it works. Anyway, the weather is hot at this time, and it will be dried in two days!"

Seeing his sons, the old man Shen settled things down without any scruples about his old father.

Someone soon found out about the Shen family's throwing mushroom waste into the field, and someone who walked closer said, "Shen Er! This is moldy, why are you throwing it in the field? Isn't this What a waste!"

To be honest, old man Shen was also a little worried. He had never done this kind of thing before, but he was not sure when he thought that the rice grown by his youngest son was obviously better than him. He felt that this youngest son was obviously good at farming He is more talented than him, and he is born to be a farmer.

At this time, Shen Yu said, "The sun is poisonous, the mildew will be gone in two days, it's fine!"

"Boy Yu, you're still young and don't have much experience. You can't mess around with this place! You'll have to rely on it for food in the coming year!"

The author has something to say: Nag me, the watermelon grown by the silly author himself is ready to eat today, it’s so sweet!
