Chapter 779: always unforgettable
Chapter 779: always unforgettable
Chu Lixuan shouted and opened the sickle to harvest. For a while, all men, women and children in the castle went into battle, fighting with all their strength.
This tense and warm atmosphere is full of joy of harvest, making this hot summer even hotter.
The scorching heat is undoubtedly a severe test of everyone's physical strength and endurance.
At this time, the leech is the most active thing, being bitten by this vampire-like mollusk.
In addition to long-term paddy field operations, many people's hands and feet are ulcerated, but they are still gritting their teeth.
But the people in Xuanyan Castle will not have festering hands and feet, because they have the best doctors and medicines.
The harvested rice field must be rolled, plowed, and leveled before transplanting.
Everyone is methodical, doing what they are proficient in, and thousands of cows go into battle together.
Transplanting rice seedlings is also a technical job, which pays attention to moderate density, horizontal and vertical alignment, uniform seedling separation, and proper depth.
People who dont understand these can only pick seedlings, deliver water to do chores, and then practice slowly, waiting to show their skills in the coming year.
When transplanting rice seedlings, each rice field must be led by a master transplanter, and the others will follow.
Because no one wants to lag behind, once they are outflanked, it will form an embarrassing situation of "closed chicken".
The people locked inside will be flustered amidst a burst of laughter, and can only break out as soon as possible.
The so-called rice transplanting experts are forced to practice in this way.
When Chu Lixuan won the double fight this year, all his attention was on Jiang Xinyan's stomach.
The husband and wife walked on the ridge of the field, looking at the busy people. These people were taught by them themselves.
So they are also very excited, and they will shout cheers when they see everyone.
However, whether it is stepping on the threshing machine, or plowing the field, cutting the seedlings, pulling the seedlings, or planting the seedlings, they will all speed up like chicken blood.
At this time, there are two more familiar strangers in the sun-drying field, that is King Zhenbei and the old owner of the valley.
Double grabs in previous years, they haven't come yet, even Master Wuchen participated in the double grabs in the past year.
Master Wuchen has never traveled around the world since he met Jiang Xinyan and his wife.
There is food and drink here, and the scenery in the world is not as good as the scenery in Xuanyan Castle, so what's the point of wandering around?
He was holding a rake to dry the millet with great momentum, "Xuanyuandong, you shouldn't follow us old bones here to dry the millet."
"Master, what should I do then? I don't know how to cut seedlings. Handing seedlings can't outrun those children of Brother Xiang, hey."
Several other grandfathers:
You can't run but still have face! He said it so bluntly.
Old rice owners and the others in Penglai Island have a lot of land, and they only grow one season of rice all the time, so they dont understand what double grabbing is.
He didnt understand for several days, and he was embarrassed to ask before, but he was very embarrassed to ask after hearing Zhenbei Kings shameless remarks.
"The so-called double grabbing refers to the continuous struggle after harvesting the early rice and then rushing to plant the late rice, hence the name "double grabbing."
"From the beginning of the fall to the beginning of autumn, for more than 20 days, I have been suppressed by the atmosphere of double grabbing. Once the season is missed, the late rice planted will not grow well after the beginning of autumn, which will affect the harvest."
"Cutting grain is the opening battle of the double-grab battle. First, everyone must concentrate on harvesting part of the rice."
"So, at dawn, I got up to cut the seedlings to make room for subsequent threshing, plowing, harrowing, transplanting and other links."
"Cutting crops is relatively easy work, usually undertaken by children and women."
"The young and middle-aged labor force is assigned to threshing, picking, plowing, harrowing and other heavy physical and technical work."
"In fact, harvesting crops is not easy. It is not a simple labor. The kind of "easy work" that can only be done by bending over is actually a hard work."
Several grandfathers said enthusiastically that they didn't want to admit defeat before, and they went down to the field to cut the seedlings.
Either cut their fingers, or cut them unevenly. The teenagers who were trampled by the threshing machine yelled that it was not easy to thresh.
That's why they are drying the millet quietly, and they are too embarrassed to talk about those experiences.
Harvesting rice must be done quickly and well.
The key lies in the process of cutting, while grasping the felled rice, while quickly binding the rice in the hand like a magic trick.
If the movement is too slow, the rice will fall, which will cause waste and make the children who are picking up the ears behind shout loudly.
They couldn't afford to lose that old face, but the old grain owner didn't know, he went to cut the seedlings with pride.
The result was the same as that of other grandfathers. In the end, he was convinced of sun millet.
No wonder his cousin, who is brewing herbal tea and drying herbs, doesn't come out to do double grabs.
The apprentices were all active in the fields, but they worked fast and were extremely handy.
The reason why Zhenbei Wang didn't go was because his daughter told him about the jokes made by the grandfathers when he told him many double robs.
It's not that he can't learn, but he is unwilling to take the first step. He doesn't want to lose face.
Jin Niang and Second Aunt Chu led a group of women and shuttled through the crowd, distributing iced watermelon and iced mung bean paste.
The children were picking ears of grain, even little Sisi and little Nana followed their elder brother to pick ears of grain in the field.
Dai Xiaoli went back to file a complaint through her elder brother, and her grandmother punished her for copying Buddhist scriptures for a whole month.
Now she also takes her little maid out to pick up grains of grain, and she will still sneer at Wang Sheng when she sees her.
But he will never quarrel again. Dai Weiming, who is twelve years old, is learning to cut seedlings. He also wants to learn to step on a threshing machine to thresh grain.
Because Chu Lizheng, who was the same age as him, was already threshing. Jiang Zihao was said to have slapped his fingers once, so he never dared to go threshing again.
The grandfathers turned and dried the rice in the drying field. Although the drying of the rice is simple, it should not be underestimated.
Every double grab in the castle, those hardships, that kind of perseverance, that feeling, many years later, many people in high positions will never forget it.
When the double grab came to an end, looking at the high grain piles, everyone was smiling.
People in the castle, when the double fight is over, life will be relaxed and leisurely, happy and sweet again.
The emperor who was far away in the capital was running around in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.
"What's going on here?" He looked at the letter that had just been delivered to the imperial study in his hand, and asked irritably.
"The servant doesn't know either." The **** kneeling in front of him replied tremblingly, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I asked you to send a message to Wang Zhen, but didn't he say anything?"
He received countless messages from last night to this morning, but none of them made him happy.
The emperor is nearly sixty years old, but he is well maintained.
If you don't know, you can't imagine that this still handsome emperor has been emperor for thirty years.
At this moment, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking gloomy at the **** kneeling on the ground: "Wang Zhen's hands haven't touched Xuanyan Castle yet?"
