Farming through the portable space

Pickled cucumbers are sour, crunchy and delicious, as are cowpeas. Because Xiang Yu put a little ground pepper into it, the pickled cowpeas are spicy and crispy. Although it is a pity that there is no pepper, the spiciness is not very spicy. That kind, but it's also good now, especially when eaten with white porridge, it's very appetizing.

Fang Shi's family couldn't stop mouthing once they tasted it, especially in this hot summer, people are prone to heatstroke and lose their appetite. This hot and sour side dish is the most appetizing.

"I said you boy, how did you make this? It's so delicious? Your sister-in-law has never cooked it for so many years, and it's our usual cucumber and cowpea." Fang Shi said while eating, "This cucumber and cowpea There are many knots and fast growth, but it is easy to grow old, and you can't finish eating, your method is good!"

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and Zhu Youran also smiled and said, "Brother Fang, this is very simple. I will tell Sister Fang how to do it later. It can be eaten after a few days of pickling, and it can be kept for a long time." , at least until the end of the year will be fine!"

Fang Shi patted Xiang Yu's shoulder after hearing this, and smiled brightly, "You know a lot, kid!"

Xiang Yu just smiled modestly, and then he seemed hesitant to speak. Fang Shi is a smart person. Although he is called Fang Shi, he is honest, but he also has some thoughts. This kid seems to have something wrong." What's the matter, what's wrong with you, Brother Fang, I'm a rough person, just say what you have, don't be awkward, could it be that you look down on me, Brother Fang!"

"Brother Fang, what are you talking about? In fact, we have something to ask Brother Fang for help!" Xiang Yu looked at Fang Shi's expression as he continued to speak, and then said, "That's it, Brother Fang, look, now we have a happy family. The ten mu of wheat is ready to be harvested, and Xiao Ran and I are afraid that we will be overwhelmed, and the harvest will be delayed. I think Brother Fang, you are familiar with the people in the village, so when the time comes, help us harvest a little when everyone is done! "

Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, Fang Shi wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu, "There is no money in the family now, and we can each pay a little food as a reward! Besides, Xiao Ran and I will start by ourselves. receive!"

Fang Shi understands that the two of them are really overwhelmed with collecting so much land. After all, they don’t do farm work often, and their hands and feet are slow. , we will definitely go, and you don’t need to pay any food! At that time, it’s enough to buy a meal, I don’t care, the main reason is that other people who help always have to buy a meal!”

"That's great. Thank you, Brother Fang. Xiaoran and I are worried that no one will have time then!"

"Haha... time is busy, but there is still some time, and they are all experts in crops, a few of them will finish harvesting soon!"

Harvesting wheat is a very tiring but very happy job!

Farmers harvest half a year's harvest at this time, so everyone is smiling and full of energy!

Xiang Yu had already prepared the things needed for wheat harvesting early on, the sickle was sharpened, the cart was re-checked, the kettle, the meals to be prepared, and even a can of corn porridge was burned in the space. Otherwise, just drinking water and eating pancakes would be too dry, let alone rough corn pancakes!

Xiaoxiao didn't bring it today, but put it at the neighbor's big brother Fang's house and asked Grandma Fang to take it. After all, when he is so busy, he may be too busy and have no energy to take care of him!

This year's harvest is pretty good, and the ears of wheat are also heavy. Although not as big as modern ones, they are still pretty good!It is known how much rain there is in one mu of land, and the land of nearly ten mu is connected together, which is really a lot of labor!

However, fortunately, wheat is a little easier to cut than beans, because Xiang Yu has learned how to cut beans before, so it is relatively easy for Xiang Yu to get started now.Grab a handful of wheat and cut it down, then put it aside, tie two knots of wheat, then put the cut wheat on top, and finally tie a knot again, and the bundles of wheat just fell behind!

Now the wheat is completely yellow, but the awn has become hard and sharp. Although it will not cut the skin, it can also draw red marks on the exposed skin. It is really painful to be touched by sweat stains!

Although they all came very early, the sun came out no matter how early it was. It was alright at first, but gradually it was noon. The sun in this hot summer is the time to sting people. If it shines on the body for a long time, it will feel like acupuncture It hurts, although it is tightly wrapped, but the body is sweating profusely, and the first layer of clothes is wet and wet, and a layer of white sweat is formed.

It was noon, and they worked from dawn to noon. Xiang Yu and Youran were so hungry that they hurried back to the field to eat. The same was true for other families. They all found a shady place to eat first, and then continue!

They took a few bundles of harvested wheat and placed them next to the cart to shade the sun. Sitting in the shadow formed by the cart and the wheat, Xiang Yu took out a clay pot containing corn porridge from the space, and filled it with bamboo leisurely. Put the two bowls aside; then Xiang Yu took out the dishes he had cooked earlier, fried edamame, pickled cucumber and cowpea!The edamame was a few trees that Xiang Yu saw in the corner of the backyard were still green, so he made fried edamame for □□. In the days when there was no chili, Xiang Yu felt that he wanted to get angry, which is really easy to say!

The two sat in the shadow of the cart, covered by wheat on both sides, which became a small private space, so Xiang Yu didn't have to be afraid of being seen by others when he took it out of the space. Put it in the shadow of the cart!

Although the corn porridge is not hot, it is just right to eat now. It is really appetizing with edamame, pickled cucumber, and cowpea, not to mention that they have been working all morning and are already very hungry!

"Good boy, what do you eat that tastes so delicious?" Fang Shi also sat down on the ground to rest for a while, his wife had already gone home to get food, and Aunt Fang was cooking the food at home.

"Brother Fang, you haven't eaten yet, come over and have some together!" Xiang Yu greeted, and they had quite a lot of food here.

Fang Shi was not too polite, sitting next to them, it was really cool under the shadow here, "You two boys are not slow to work? Look at this mu of land has been mowed!"

Zhu Youran's blushing face smiled and said, "Brother Fang, there are no more bowls here, let's have some pancakes first!" They make a lot of pancakes, although they are not good things, but they are quite hungry.

"No need, your sister-in-law has already gone home to get food," Fang Shi said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law has to wait for a while, it's okay, let's eat something first, we can't finish it anyway!" Xiang Yu and Zhu Youran said together.

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite, don't say you guys are quite delicious!"

"That's right, brother Xiang, you should eat more, this is all made by brother Xiang, but I also help peel the edamame and light the fire!"

The three of them ate and chatted until Mrs. Fang came back. At that time, Fang Shi was almost full. However, now that he had a lot of work, he could still eat. In addition, Fang Shi didn't have the nerve to eat more, so he ate two pancakes. The main reason is that I ate a lot of this dish.

As soon as Aunt Fang realized that her men had eaten at other people's homes, she hurriedly put down the meal, thinking that he was too hungry to take it anymore!

After eating and drinking enough and resting enough, Xiang Yu and the others are also full of energy now. They harvest early and settle things early. Fortunately, they don’t have to plant so much in the future, but they have to work hard to make some money. When the time comes, there will be less land farming and tax payment. I have to pay!

They didn't stop at all in the afternoon, at most they stopped to drink a few sips of water. After one day, they harvested almost three acres. In addition to the time for tying, Xiang Yu and the others were unskilled in tying at first. I have scattered several bundles, and now I am getting more and more proficient, and the bundles are also firm.

Although it is said that the summer is long, it can't stand the non-stop work. Seeing that the sun is almost disappearing, many people put the bundled wheat on the car and prepare to take it back. It's time to pull all the wheat back, otherwise the road will not be clear, let alone so much wheat.

Put the bundles of wheat on the flatbed cart, as many yards as possible, but not too much, otherwise it will not be able to be pulled at all.Next, use rattan to tie it firmly. The entire cart of wheat is heavier than beans, and now that the field is full of people, it cannot be received in the space, so it has to be pulled back by carts!

Until this time, Xiang Yu misses the big modern harvesters, all of which are set up or even connected to save drying, harvesting, squeezing, and grinding, and the wheat is harvested on one side and bagged on the other. And it doesn't need manpower to pull it, not to mention that there are not many to pull this cart, and there is no cow at home. It would be great if there was a cow!

The cow here is a big item. Generally, if there are two or three cows in a village, it is already considered a good village. In Qingmu Village, only the head of the village has one cow. This village is small, and there are no landlords. They are all under the jurisdiction of the yamen, and then the village chief will manage them!
