Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

It is July now, the fields are golden, the rice is ripe and can be harvested.

This high-yield rice variety is growing well. This bunch of rice ears is twice as big as two traditional bunches of rice. Everyone could not contain their joy and ran around telling others.

Shen Ping sent Dadong to the county government office to explain the situation to the county magistrate and invite County Magistrate Zhang over.

Magistrate Zhang was well aware of the importance of this matter. Lord Xu had told him before he left to keep a close eye on the high-yield rice and report any developments to him.

At the same time, Lord Xu also told Shen Ping that when the harvest season came, she must report it to Magistrate Zhang and be sure to ask him to come and check it out.

Of course Shen Ping knew what Lord Xu meant, so when she saw that the rice was ready to be harvested, she of course had to invite the county magistrate to come and see the results of the rice.

"Sir, look~" Shen Ping handed over two bunches of rice ears.

One bunch is traditional rice ears, and the other bunch is high-yield rice ears. When comparing these two bunches of rice ears together, the advantage of the high-yield rice is obvious.

This ear of rice is nearly half longer than the traditional ear of rice, not only that, but it is also larger.

"Great!" Magistrate Zhang was so excited that he could not express it in words. This rough, dark-skinned man even had tears in his eyes. "The people of Yu'an have discovered this rice. It is really a blessing for the people. From now on, the people will no longer have to worry about having enough food to eat! In this way, I will write a letter to Prefect Xu immediately."

At this time, the thresher that Shen Ping had asked Carpenter Li to make was also finished and pulled back. Shen Ping asked Dadong to send people to deliver it to her mother's family and her in-laws respectively.

In addition, Shen Ping arranged for other people to harvest the rice, and then piled the harvested rice together and had two young and strong servants thresh it, holding a handful of rice ears in their hands and placing them on the roller.

The rice ears are separated from the rice grains on the rapidly rotating drum, and all the rice grains fall into the bucket. Not only is the threshing clean, but it is also fast, simple and convenient.

In addition, Shen Ping arranged two more people to pass the rice ears, and everyone worked together enthusiastically.

More than ten people worked together and harvested nearly five mu of land in less than one morning, and threshed the crops cleanly. This speed was really efficient.

This situation once again surprised County Magistrate Zhang. He never expected that the people of Yu'an were so smart that they could invent such a rice thresher, which greatly improved labor efficiency.

After returning from Kaoshan Village, County Magistrate Zhang immediately wrote a letter to Prefect Xu to report the true situation of the rice and the rice thresher.

As for the public thresher of Kaoshan Village, the village chief will decide which household will use the thresher first. The one whose rice matures first will use it first, and so on.

If you are in a hurry, you can help each other, which is more efficient.

According to Shen Ping's rough estimate, there is no problem in achieving a yield of 1500 kilograms per mu of rice grown in her own family.

The rice yield of some villagers decreased slightly due to the last insect pest, but it was not much less, probably only about 100 to 200 kilograms per mu.

Villagers from the neighboring Dahe Village and Niugu Village saw how efficient the thresher in Kaoshan Village was and came over to see what was new.

As the villagers put the rice ears in their hands into the bucket, the rice grains fell into the bucket in an instant, leaving only empty stalks. Everyone was stunned with surprise.

I could only pick up the rice ears and beat them one by one, which was both tiring and slow.

"Hey, can you lend us this thing?" Aunt Tianluo from Niugu Village looked envious.

"We bought this from Yu'an, and it cost us 30 taels of silver! If you want one, you can buy it from her! Our whole village pooled together to buy one." A villager kindly reminded.

Aunt Tianluo quickly found Village Chief Liang and explained the situation to him.

In the past, the yield of traditional rice was only 1000 to kilograms per mu, and it was not a big deal to beat the rice ears by hand to thresh the grains. But now the yield of high-yield rice is more than kilograms per mu, and it depends entirely on manual threshing. This will take a long time.

Village Chief Liu of Dahe Village also noticed this situation. He saw the machine in Kaoshan Village and followed it. When he saw Village Chief Liang, he immediately greeted him: "Village Chief Liang, we heard that Kaoshan Village has a rice thresher. Let's go and take a look!"

"That's exactly what I meant!" The two of them said as they came over together.

In this way, the rice ears in the hands of the villagers were put into the reel, and the rice grains and rice stalks were separated in an instant. The speed was so fast that Village Chief Liu was immediately attracted and asked the villagers about this machine.

The villagers reminded them: "Look for Yu'an, she has several more machines like this!"

Shen Ping is currently sitting at home with her legs crossed, sipping tea, waiting for them to come!

It was the time to harvest rice. The rice fields in these villages were close to each other, so the villagers knew everything clearly.

Shen Ping knew that within half a day, Dahe Village and Niugu Village would know about the thresher. He believed that Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Liang would definitely come to visit, so he just had to wait for them at home.

As Shen Ping expected, Village Chief Liang and Village Chief He came to the door soon. Shen Ping's mouth curled up, she knew that the purpose of their visit was definitely for the thresher.

"Hello, Yu'an. We are sorry to bother you with something." Village chief Liang clasped his hands together.

"Oh~"

Shen Ping raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly, "I wonder what the two village heads are doing?"

"Cuihong, quickly serve tea to the two village heads~" Hong Gu turned her head and shouted.

Village Chief Liu clasped his hands together and said, "Yu'an, to be honest, we came here for the rice thresher. I want to ask, do you still have this machine?"

Cuihong brought the tea over and said, "Village Chief Liu, Village Chief Liang, please sit down and have a cup of tea first."

The weather was hot now, and the two of them were sweating all over, their clothes were soaked. After hearing what Cuihong said, they felt thirsty, so they quickly sat down and picked up the teacup.

After taking a sip of jasmine tea, it immediately refreshed their hearts and lungs. They both felt refreshed and cooled down instantly.

Seeing that the two of them had finally calmed down, Shen Ping slowly said, "Yes! Of course! But this machine costs 30 taels of silver." After saying that, Shen Ping observed their expressions.

Shen Ping believed that they must have inquired about the price. Since they came, they must be able to accept the price, so they came.

Shen Ping went straight to the point without any politeness. As expected, the expressions of the two village heads did not change much.

They knew that the pesticide must have been worth a lot of money, but the people of Yu'an didn't bother with them and let them use it for free, so they could have a good rice harvest one day.

"Yu'an people, we were able to get rid of the insect pest last time thanks to you. You gave us pesticides for free. You are like Guanyin Bodhisattva. On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank you!" Village chief Liu expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Besides that, we came here this time to buy a thresher. I have discussed this with the villagers and everyone agrees."

"Yes, us too!" Village Chief Liang also interrupted.

Finally, Dahe Village and Niugu Village each requested a rice thresher.

After the news spread, people from all over the country came to ask about it. These people were also villagers who planted high-yield rice seeds. Some of their families worked in workshops, so they knew about this good thing.

In less than three days, all the threshers were sold out. In the same three days, Shen Ping's rice harvest was almost over.
