Chapter 597: Li Chao's One Acre and Three Points of Land (Thanks to the name, the dog has taken up the reward!) )


After the sacrifice to the god of grass, the rice harvest begins.

On the slopes on both sides of the bathing ditch, the threshing machine whined, and after the long-term workers of the Li family had a threshing machine, the harvesting speed was much faster.

A group of four, with a threshing machine, is just right.

Two long-term workers are responsible for trampling and threshing, and two teenagers come to get the grain and cooperate seamlessly.

In addition, there are special rice cutters, and the rice cutters are generally women, who start to cut rice early in the morning, when the sky is just slightly bright, and when the morning is cool, there is still dew on the rice crops.

They were already bending down with their sickles, cutting the rows of rice, six or seven grains at a time, and the two rows were just one handful.

After such rows of harvesting, soon all the golden rice was placed in the sun-dried fields.

After the rice is cut, when the sun comes out, the dew dries quickly.

Because the Li family has many threshing machines and many long-term workers, they directly carry the threshing machines to the field to fight, so as not to transport the rice back to the village.

Turning the threshing machine around, two long-term workers carried the machine and stepped on the ridge path to the field.

As soon as the threshing machine is overturned, the shed is erected, and it is ready to start.

The people who are responsible for taking the harvest are all teenagers and children, and many of them are the children of long-term workers, and they are brought to get the harvest, and the Li family also gives them the money for starting work, and they will have one day's money for one day.

The wages are relatively cost-effective, and the adults at this time will not have such delicate children, and of course they have to work in the fields during the busy farming season.

Look over there, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is taking crops.

Looking at the threshing again, isn't it the right Yulin general, Li Laojungong, and Xiangguo Zhaoguo's grandfather.

Even the ladies of the Li Mansion have gone down to work in the fields today.

The Li family has always had a tradition of keeping a piece of land for themselves.

Now that Li Chao has become the prime minister, this tradition has not changed.

The land is not large, only more than one acre, and this land is cultivated by the Li family themselves.

Plough the fields by yourself, plant seedlings by yourself, and harvest by yourself.

I don't want the help of other servants and long-term servants.

For Li Chao, getting such a piece of one-acre three-point land for self-retention is just to let the people in the family understand where the food comes from, the hard work of farming, etc., and they can't forget their roots.

Of course, these people in the Li family know about it now, but when the next generation grows up, they may not necessarily remember it.

Many people say that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and nobles need more than three generations to cultivate.

Therefore, Li Chao cares very much about this self-reserved land, and from now on, he will regard this as the tradition of the Li family.

In fact, the Li family has a lot, and one acre and three points of land is really nothing.

The weather was very cold, Li Chao was wearing a straw hat, and the rest of the family was also wearing straw hats.

Cui Yingying and Du Shi Niang finished their confinement, and they also came out today, symbolically cutting a row of rice, and then they were responsible for picking up rice ears on the side.

Qi Niang, Zheng Wanyan and Zheng Hongxian are all pregnant, so they are just watching from the side.

Fortunately, Li Chao's self-reserved land is in a good location, and there is a row of trees not far from the side.

One of the trees was quite tall, and it was very cool to sit under it.

It's the prince and a group of bear children, all of whom are dressed in the same outfit now.

One person buttoned a straw hat, a pair of straw sandals under his feet, and then a short robe and shorts for easy handling.

The little fellows took turns taking the crops, and when they weren't taking the crops, they went to cut the rice with a sickle.

It doesn't matter how fast or slow, it's a process anyway.

Even if the harvested rice is scattered, it doesn't matter.

After a while, the barn was full.

"Take a break and drink some water."

Li Chao picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat, the weather was really hot, stepping on the threshing machine under the sun, although there was a straw hat, the sweat still kept flowing down.

The most annoying thing is that there is always that kind of fart bug, which climbs up from the rice straw without paying attention, and sometimes sprays some juice directly on the arm that rolls up the sleeves, which is stinky and hot, and I hate it very much.

Occasionally, there are some large locusts.

This thing is somewhat similar to a grasshopper, but it is very large, with a green body, a yellow belly, thick and strong feet, and a row of barbs that can cut a person's blood with a stroke.

As soon as the rice is cut, there are countless insects of all kinds in the field, such as frogs, toads, grasshoppers, locusts, sometimes snakes and mice, and birds' nests and eggs.

That kind of quail likes to make a nest in the rice grass, the quail egg is a small one, and there are many spots, roasted and boiled are delicious.

It was still early, and a small piece of rice had only been cut, but a warehouse had already been made.

But Li Chao is not in a hurry, anyway, this is more of an experience, a process.

If you are tired, you will rest, one acre and three points of land, and you can finish it in two or three days.

The barn was full of grain, and Li Chao didn't bother to go out of the warehouse to sift the grain immediately.

Go straight down to the shade of the tree.

Cui Yingying had already poured a cup of tea for Li Chao with a large teapot.

"It's so hot, so sweaty, come and have a cup of tea."

Li Chao smiled, "I have to drink a glass of ice water first." ” The Li family is in good condition, the logistics work is guaranteed, the large pieces of ice taken from the ice cellar are brought to the field in a refrigerator with thermal insulation compartment, and then the spring water that has just been drawn from the mountain spring in the morning is put in the refrigerator to ice.

"The water is too cold, and my stomach is uncomfortable when I drink it."

"It's okay, it's not every day, it's time to have some ice spring water.

If I don't have to work later, I'd like to have some cold beer. ” Cui Yingying couldn't resist Li Chao, so she had to ask Zhao Siniang to pour Li Chao a glass of ice spring water.

Taking the water cup that had a layer of fine water beads on the wall of the cup, Li Chao drank it all, and suddenly his whole body was refreshed, and he felt that his pores were open.

"Cool" Hongxian stood aside with a fan and fanned Li Chao.

Li Chao asked Zhao Siniang to pour him another cup of ice spring, and then served it to his father.

"Dad, let's have a cup of ice spring."

Daddy shook his head with a smile, "I'm not used to that, or herbal tea is better."

You can also drink something so cold, your stomach can't stand it. ” Li Chao drank the cup of ice fountain slowly, looking at a group of bear children who were still slapping their heads under the sun just now, which would be alive again in the shade of the tree, very happy.

"Dad, this year's harvest is even better."

"Yes, the yield of our family's one-third of an acre of land may be lower, or those old-fashioned farming is more powerful, you see their rice ears are sinking, and they are about to bend to the ground."

"There is a lot of fertilizer, and there is no shortage of water, and the formulators say that this year, the rice on our ditch can produce at least six stones per acre, which is really unprecedented."

"After all, there are thousands of catties of fertilizer under the ground in one acre, which is not ordinary.

It is also deep ploughing and fine farming, and the treasure is the same as serving, but it is not more extensive than the original, and it should be harvested more. ” Collecting six stones per mu is not a little more, it is a lot more.

Even if the cost of fertilizer, water retention and labor is removed, the income is still much higher than that of traditional farming.

What's more, this is Guanzhong, and the price of rice is already more expensive, so the income is naturally higher. t1706231537:
