The He Family Brother of Farming

Sure enough, shopkeeper Liu attached great importance to the two foods of sweet potato pancake and shredded sweet potato. After hearing that they were newly invented foods by their family members, and now they wanted to sell the recipe to their restaurant, shopkeeper Liu said nothing. Ask someone to prepare paper and pen, and write down the contract right away. Knowing that the two are illiterate, they are more considerate and invite Mr. Ling to be a witness, which makes both Ye Chenghe and Ye Chenghe both grateful and excited.

But the two were a little embarrassed and said that they couldn't write the recipe, and their daughter-in-law could do it, but they didn't come together today.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said it's okay, "It's okay, if you are busy at home, you can bring your siblings over in two days, but brother, I am anxious to wait for your prescription, don't make me wait too long! "

"It's just that we are embarrassed. We came to you in such a hurry, and we are not ready at all... Tomorrow we will bring our family to make cakes for you. Do you think this will work?"

"Hey, I'm so kind. Brother, I won't be polite, hahaha." Shopkeeper Liu narrowed his eyes completely with a smile.

Mr. Ling couldn't get used to it now, and couldn't help but stab a few words, "You are so proud, if it wasn't for the medicine hall opened by the old man, it would be your turn."

Ye Chenghe sat next to him and was sweating in embarrassment, but shopkeeper Liu didn't care at all, he still smiled and asked people to bring the money to them.

Shopkeeper Liu personally handed the money bag containing 120 taels to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Here is 120 taels. From now on, if there is any new method, the two heads of the family should still remember to come here." Find Liu, we can talk about the money."

Looking at the bulging money bag in front of him, Ye Chenghe was both excited and happy, and immediately thanked people sincerely.

"It's easy to say, so here we two brothers would like to thank the shopkeeper for his kindness." Ye Cheng raised his teacup and said gratefully, "Ye will offer tea to the shopkeeper instead of wine."

"He Er is here to respect the shopkeeper, thank you for taking care of us."

Seeming to see the worries of the two, Ling Lao who was sitting on the side said: "You two don't have to worry, I will accept this money with peace of mind. You deserve it. According to the old man, the return is too little." , if this is outside, those two prescriptions are more than that, and it will be cheaper for this boy Liu."

"This..." Ye He and the two were shocked, this is more than 100 taels, not many?

She looked anxiously at Shopkeeper Liu, fearing that he would be angry and unhappy.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Liu smiled and followed Mr. Ling's words: "Hehe, Mr. Ling said the same thing. I didn't think carefully. Why don't you two go back and think about it. We can still discuss the money when we come next time." of."

It seemed that they were really not angry, Ye He and the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly agreed, fearing that he and Ling Lao would be unhappy, after all, the two of them have been helping them a lot, and it is also true for the two of them. They are quite caring, and they will feel sorry if they offend anyone.

Finally came back, after the two discussed it, they decided to sell it at the previous price. After all, they didn’t know how the recipe was sold outside, but the storekeeper Liu has always taken care of them, even if they lost money. How much do they lose, let's just do it for the first time, so we can continue to do business in the future, right?

So the two took Zhang Lian and Li Ran for a trip, demonstrated the method to others, and mentioned the points that should be paid attention to. The four of them came back with more than 100 taels of silver.

Now that the family has an income of more than 100 taels of silver, He He is a little relieved. After the story of the sweet potato is revealed, the money can be used slowly in the open. They The family no longer has to live so tight.

……

In a blink of an eye, time flies, the rice in the field was still green yesterday, but when I go to see it tomorrow, it has turned yellow, and after a day or two, it will be golden.

The villagers couldn't help but smile when they saw everyone. They went home and took out their sickles and began to sharpen them. Even if they had been sharpened before, they had to sharpen them again to feel at ease.

So, within a few days, on the other side of the stream, the fields under the bamboo forest began to become more lively day by day.

However, the most lively field belongs to He Er's family. On the day of harvesting the rice, the villagers found that Ye He's family carried a strange thing to the field. Gu Zi tied it up and moved it home, but directly hit the thing, which immediately aroused curiosity, and many people were reluctant to eat, so they came to find out.

The daughters-in-law and aunts who brought food at noon arrived at the field, but found that their men and children were not there, and they couldn't help being extremely surprised. When they heard the noise from the other end, they realized that there were many people piled up there.

Those who were curious also went over to see what happened, and then they all knew that the two boys Ye Chenghe made a strange thing, they could directly punch out millet!

Ye He's family got a threshing machine called a threshing machine, which can be directly threshed in the field without bringing the straw back together.

In less than half a day, the news spread in Lishan Village, and even the village head left his own land and ran over to have a look in person.

When He He heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. How could it be called a threshing machine?However, he still showed great admiration for his brother and Ye Lin, and even after listening to his messy explanations, he was able to figure it out by himself. Although it was not very authentic, just for this, it showed that he was very talented.

In a world without rubber tracks and diesel generators, it is made entirely of pieces of wood and requires manpower to beat. No wonder He He looks down on it.

He He slapped his forehead fiercely again, and couldn't help but smile wryly, how could this world compare with the previous ones, if he knew everything, then it wouldn't be a problem, his family would have been lifted out of poverty long ago, but the problem is that he He also has only a half-knowledge about many things, which is why he is in a predicament.

What's not to like about him?At least he doesn't have the ability to do this, it seems that his mentality is still not completely corrected.

Just like the pedal-operated rice throwing machine in the 80s of the previous life, He He also occasionally saw pictures on the Internet. People need to step on the pedal quickly to drive the roller to make the bamboo pieces roll. This is also very difficult, but it is better than It's faster to beat the rice directly into the barrel.

People were amazed, and went forward to do it themselves, and found that it was really easy to thresh the millet. Although some people brought some straw down due to improper operation, it was much easier than beating directly with hands.

The crowd stayed around for a long time and did not disperse. In the end, the village chief came to chase them away. The villagers reluctantly went back to their own fields, but their eyes could not help but drift towards He Er's house. If their family also had this , that's great!

"cough--"

After most of the people dispersed, the village chief cleared his throat, drew everyone's attention to himself, and then asked with a serious face: "Tell me, who made this thing?"

"..."

Perhaps the village chief's face was too serious, and seeing that their father didn't express anything, Ye Linhetian just stood behind his father honestly and didn't go forward to ask for credit.

The village chief looked at He Er and then at Ye Cheng, and then looked around. He found that there were still some villagers cutting rice in the fields nearby, and they were obviously paying attention to this side. Knowing that this is not a good time to talk, so I didn't press any more questions, but said very seriously: "Since it's done, work hard, and I'll go and have a look when I get back."

"Yes, the village head, you won't delay your work. Go slowly." Ye Cheng hurriedly sent the village head away with a smile.

Turning around, his thick eyebrows frowned, and He Er also looked over with some concern.

This time the sons seemed to be making a lot of noise, otherwise the village chief wouldn't be like this.

Ye Linhetian also looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, but there was no way to solve it for the time being.

"Let's move faster, don't do this here, and wait until we move home."

"I think it's okay, so that everyone doesn't feel at ease to harvest rice."

"Father, why don't you let our house go first, there are still..." in the woods..." Before he could finish speaking, he was glared at by his father, and He Tian had no choice but to silence.

He Tian rubbed his nose and dared not speak anymore, Ye Lin glanced over - are you stupid?It's really a pot that doesn't open.

"..." He Tian looked up at the sky, um, the weather is fine.

Ye Cheng rescued him, "Okay, don't blame the children for now, wait until you get back."

As they said that, they took the sickle and continued to cut the rice. They had to fight for a faster time to cut the rice, so that they would have the energy to do other things.

He Er was letting his son go, and he was also worried that his son would talk nonsense, and then people would really know that they made this thing.

Not to mention, the four of them worked hard, just cutting the rice, and when the sun turned to the west, not only He Er's family, but even Ye Cheng's family's mu of land was cut in half.

When I straightened up, I realized that it was still a big project to carry it back, so I had no choice but to tie it into a bundle with hemp rope and pick it up.

As far as two adults are concerned, they must go back and forth several times. Although He Tianyelin can also help, but the two of them are still young after all, so how can they have so much strength? At most, they can only pick half of the adults at a time, but in this way, It will definitely tire the two of them.

So the two fathers let them choose to go back once, and then don't come back.

Zhang Lian and Li Ran were not very comfortable staying at home, and at this time, the sweet potatoes in the yard were basically taken into the house, and they were about to go to the field to have a look, when they saw the eldest son struggling to carry the rice back. Hurry up and help them put down their burdens.

"It's been a busy day, are you tired? Take a break."

Li Ran was also distressed to help his son brush away a lock of hair that was stuck to his forehead due to sweat, "Don't be so reckless in the future, you are still young, you are not like your father, let's rest, and I will pick it back later. "

"Brother, Lin Zi, come sit here and drink some water." Seeing the two of them coming back, He He has already poured water for them and called them to come and drink.

Ye Linhe Tian said with a smile at the same time, mainly to comfort their mother and Ah Mo: "We are fine, we can bear it."

"Mother, the hemp rope we brought may not be enough, you need to find some more."

"Well, mother knows, let's look for it now, and we can't make your father and the others wait too long, or it will be dark later." After saying that, he went into the house, took the rope and left in a hurry.

Li Ran has already rushed to the field first. If he moves faster, he should be able to move back before dark.

"Why don't you use the threshing machine you two made? You came back with the pole like this."

After the two drank the water, He He asked casually, unexpectedly, both of them lost their faces.

"what happened?"

"Don't mention it," He Tian waved his hand, "It was a happy thing, but when the village head grandpa came, it became a bad thing."

"Ah?" He He was puzzled, and Ye Sen, who came over, was also in a daze.

Seeing that he was exaggerating, Ye Lin hurriedly explained, so as not to be aggravated by what he said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's nothing like that, but—"

Both little heads turned to look like him, waiting for an answer.

"But it might really be a bit big, dad and the others don't know what to do. I guess the village chief grandpa will come to our house again. Then, Xiaohe, please don't say that it was your idea, especially Xiaomori. You can’t let others know about this, you know?”

Ye Sen didn't really understand, but he always listened to his elder brother the most, so he nodded vigorously without asking anything, indicating that he would not talk nonsense.

He He didn't care, "Because of that threshing machine?"

"Yes." Ye Lin answered solemnly.

"..."

He He was speechless, but thinking about it, this thing should be considered too advanced here, and it makes those who think too much feel serious.

Rubbing his chin, He He was a little stunned. As long as some new things do not exceed people's understanding, they can be accepted quickly, but if they surpass too quickly, they will attract some people's attention. It’s okay if it’s only in their small village, but such a convenient thing for farmers, it’s impossible to only use it here, the news will always be revealed, and by then everyone in the ten miles and eight towns will know that their village has created a new one. Here comes the threshing machine.

That's really no small thing.

Sure enough, they had just had dinner, and the village chief arrived at He's house in the dark when the bowls and chopsticks were still confiscated.

"Village chief, you are here, come in quickly, have you eaten yet?"

When they saw the village chief, He Er and his wife hurried up to greet them, moved a stool to pour water, and Li Ran also helped to clean up the dishes on the table, so they were very busy.

"Haha, I made you laugh, we haven't cleaned up yet, you sit first."

The village chief crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back, walked in, and waved his hand at them, "No busy, no busy, I came here after eating, and they are all here, just right, so I don't have to run around from house to house."

Just as the village chief was about to walk to the table, he stopped again, turned around and said in a loud voice, "Why are you loafing outside? Hurry up and come in. There's nothing shameful here."

He Er, Yecheng and his family looked out, not noticing that there were still people behind, but it was already dark outside now, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone outside.

"Village Chief, who else is here?" He Er asked puzzledly, and thoughtfully walked to the door and said, "Who is it? Since you're here, let's come in together. It's dark outside, so don't knock yourself down."

There was still no movement outside, and a figure moved in just when everyone was wondering.

"Father?" He Er slightly opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Since that quarrel, people from the old house really didn't show up at his house again, they just met a few times when they went to the field, and even his father rarely came to talk to him on his own initiative, and today he unexpectedly Rare to see him come.

The old man He was at the door, looked up at his son, nodded silently in response to his cry, put the hookah that had never been away from him on the corner of the threshold, and then walked in.

"Father, you're here." Seeing that it was her father-in-law, Zhang Lian seemed a little restrained, so she quickly brought another stool over and put it next to the village chief, "Sit down."

"Grandpa." He Tian and He He both called out.

The old man He was usually negligent towards the two brothers before, which can be said to be neither good nor bad, and the two of them didn't have much affection for this grandfather, but after all, it was their grandfather, and the village chief was there, so they still behaved Say hi.

The old man He's cloudy eyes lingered on the two children for a while, especially He He, and took a few extra glances, before he replied in a low voice: "Okay."

Then he sat on the stool and fell silent, his eyes fixed on his feet without moving, like a black shadow.

He Er saw his father sitting on the stool with a hunched body, not as upright as before, but more silent, and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

The room was silent for a while, and no one spoke.

"Cough—" Finally, the village head spoke.

He looked around, and then said: "Has the rice been harvested?"

The main room was only this big, and there were ten people sitting there. There were still piles of rice brought back in the corner, and it was so full that you could see the bottom at a glance.

"um, yes."

Hearing this, the village chief nodded, "Why don't you untie it? It will break if you hold it like this."

He Er smiled embarrassedly, "Didn't I just finish my meal, and I haven't had time to spread it out yet."

"Then you have to hurry up. You guys are really good. It's a good thing to be able to do it, but it's been harvested all of a sudden. How can I dry it? It hasn't been threshed yet. Wouldn't it be a waste if it goes bad like this?" The village chief said unconsciously. became a little harsher.

Now even Ye Cheng felt very embarrassed, scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed a few times.

"That... I cut it off without paying attention, hehe - we will get it later."

"Didn't you get that or something? What kind of machine, why don't you use it? Let us see how it is."

"Uh! Now?" He Er asked uncertainly.

The village chief stared at him, and Zhang Lian tugged at the corner of his clothes. He Er hurriedly collected himself, put on a smile, and said awkwardly: "Then light up more lamps, let's try it now. Originally, we also If you want to make it after eating, then go and have a look together?"

"Well, okay."
