I just want to travel fast

Chapter 153 My mother-in-law is omnipotent (thanks 20170727132537569 for the big reward)

After the autumnal equinox, the weather is not as hot as before, and there is only a tail left in summer, which indicates that the autumn harvest is coming.

This is a major event of the year, the whole family except Zhou Cuiniang and Dahe will be dispatched, even Li Yaoxian from the school took five days off to come back to help.

Chenchen is very satisfied with this point of Li Yaoxian. Although he has studied, he doesn't have some bad habits of scholars, and he doesn't feel that he is superior to other people, and he is fake and lofty. It is also a misleading child to become an official in the future.

The first thing to harvest is corn. After the corn is harvested, time will need to be plowed to plant winter wheat, then sweet potatoes, and finally soybeans and peanuts.

Harvesting corn is not an easy task. The edges of the corn leaves are sharp, and if you are not careful, you will be pulled a hole. The sweat will kill you, but the working people are also very smart. As long as you cut down the corn stalks and then break the cobs, there will be no such thing. trouble.

The three big men chopped, and in the early morning, they squatted down with Tian and Da Jiang, broke up and threw a pile, and then carried them home together. Don't underestimate Da Jiang, he did a good job.

While working on it in the early morning, I was thinking that I would renovate a car for my family next year.

The three sons saw that the corn stalks were almost cut, so they rushed over to fill them in the baskets, and carried them home when they were full. The yard at home had already cleared a large area, so they just carried them back and spread them out to dry.

When I went out in the early morning, I gave Zhou some money and told her to buy a piece of meat. There are still fish caught by 478 at home. I must eat some good ones these days.

They can't go home to eat at noon or early morning, the food and water are sent to the field, just let Dajiang go home to rest, the child is still young, don't grow too tired.

It took a day and a half to finally harvest the corn, and then it took another half a day to carry the corn stalks back, and put them against the wall to dry in the sun. When they are stacked, they can save the need to go up the mountain to collect firewood in winter.

After the corn harvest was finished, the eldest and second eldest children were responsible for plowing the fields and preparing to plant wheat. In the early morning, they took the third eldest son and Tian to harvest soybeans and peanuts.

Pay special attention when harvesting soybeans. Once the beans are ripe, the beans will burst out when you touch the pods. However, the soybeans are only planted on an acre of land, so the task of picking up the beans is left to Dajiang.

In the field, Dajiang was holding a basket, pouting his buttocks and wearing a straw hat, picking it up seriously.

The straw hat was made from switchgrass leaves when I rested in the early morning. The sun was very hot, so don’t let the children’s skin get sunburned because of their delicate skin.

As for the peanuts, it is relatively simple. One person and one hill squat down and squeeze them out. At the same time, they should shake off the dirt that gets on them, but be careful not to waste the fruit.

After the soybeans and peanuts were harvested in the early morning, the land over there had been plowed and wheat seeds could be sown. Then they fell off one by one. Her two sons came over to continue plowing, and in the early morning they went over to sow seeds, and time passed again. for a day and a half.

In the remaining half of the day, we had to take the sweet potatoes home. We were pressed for time and finished the work in the dark. As for this piece of land, it was idle. It was a low-lying land and we could only grow some sweet potatoes. Growing anything else was a waste.

In the early hours of the morning, I had to admire myself. I collected all the food in four days, and everyone lost a layer of skin. But looking at the food in a yard and a warehouse, I was very satisfied.

This is nearly a year's worth of rations. Excluding taxes and seed savings, there isn't much left.

The whole family is very tired, one is all black and thin, and I plan to make up for everyone in the early morning.

She ordered 478 to go up the mountain to catch a pheasant and a rabbit, and then steamed a pot of steamed buns with pure white noodles, and the whole family had a meal.

After all the grain was taken back, drying and threshing were all trivial matters. Li Yaoxian only had one day off, so she didn't let him work any more in the early morning. She was afraid that if she was too tired and didn't get any rest, she would get sick, even though there was such a thing every autumn harvest. But that's every year, not every day.

After seeing off Li Yaoxian, the family was preparing to thresh the wheat. Da Rui only collected wheat and corn for tax payment, and the wheat had already been paid before dawn.

Compared with wheat threshing, corn can be simpler. It takes about 5-6 days to dry, and then one person sits on a bench in the yard and rubs and rubs around a pile of corn.

The rubbed corn kernels will be put into a large tank, and then the officers and soldiers who collect taxes will come and carry them away in buckets. Thanks to this era, there is no need to carry grain to the county to pay taxes.

After paying the tax, the rest is stored in the warehouse. Whenever you want to eat, you will take a bag on your back and go to the mill in the next village to eat and grind it.

After the corn is threshed, it’s soybeans and peanuts. Soybeans are easy to say, just throw them on the ground and find a big roller to crush them back and forth. Peanuts need to be pulled down in handfuls, and then dried. As for sweet potatoes, once they are collected, they After entering the warehouse, in ancient times they had a way to ensure that these sweet potatoes did not sprout.

This busy time lasted almost another 10 days. No matter how busy he was during this period, he never forgot to deliver pheasants and fish to Jufulou. It was not only for money, but also for honesty. This person in the early morning must do what he promised.

This is also because the mountain is rich in resources. I asked 478 once in the early morning, why the mountain is so rich in resources, as if it had never been developed.

478 told Ling Chen that it was because he took another route to the back mountain. People in the village said there were big insects eating people in the back mountain, so no one dared to go to the back mountain.

In fact, there were big worms, but that happened many years ago. Now the big worm has died of old age, and because it was the only big worm in the mountain at that time, it had no companion until it died, so the root was cut off.

I felt relieved this morning.

After the grain is harvested, the vegetables in the backyard should also be disposed of. Beans, eggplants and several other vegetables can be sold. If they are not sold enough, they will be cut into dried vegetables in the sun, or marinated with chili and vinegar into capers.

As for cucumbers and persimmons, I thought they were the same. If they could buy them, they would sell them at a lower price.

After the vegetables in the field are processed, cabbages and radishes must be planted before the frost, and they can be harvested after about two months.

She didn't find mustard knots in this time and space in the early morning, so she never ate pickles. She planned to pickle some radishes this year. Although it consumes more salt, it can save a lot of vegetables, and maybe she can sell them to restaurants by then.

Things at home were almost busy. In the early morning, she remembered that it was time to collect the piece of Japanese ginger she had marked, so she called Li Dazhu and they went to the mountain.

Farmers are like this, they never have idle time.

On the mountain, Linchen was responsible for digging ginger and picking figs, and Li Dazhu was responsible for the sand fruit tree.

Although the fruit was ripe, it still tasted astringent. Li Dazhu couldn't figure out why his mother brought this thing home.

In the early hours of the morning, I didn't explain to him much, what is grafting, I didn't understand it when I told him, and it was a waste of saliva.

Although Qingchen is not sure whether she can successfully marry her, it does not prevent her from flirting.

If successful, it would be of epoch-making significance.

After working for most of the morning, the three returned home with a full load.
