Chapter 127: Harvesting Rice

The sunset gradually faded, and the cool evening breeze ruffled the hair of several people. The fading skylight made the whole Linjia Village feel a bit silent. Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua to light the oil lamp. Under the light of the lamp, everyone's outline became clearer.

.

Jiang Yan looked at the few people sitting at attention and said with a smile: "I won't lose money on my base price of one hundred cents. You don't have to worry about this. I naturally set the price after calculating the cost and labor, and this price is just for you.

"

Several people felt even more grateful when they heard this. They all knew that Aunt Jiang was doing this to allow them to make a living of their own.

"Tomorrow we will take a few yuan to sell in the town. After the autumn harvest is completed, we will buy a few acres of paddy fields and plant late rice." Lin Yousheng said.

"The soap business will be managed by the second brother from now on. You can just go to the second brother's place to register and settle the account with whatever quantity you want. If you don't have enough money now, you can take the soap first and pay after it is sold."

When Lin Nan heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, mom, I know how to do it. When I get the rotten leaf soil and bring it to you in the warehouse, I will also go to the town to sell it. Our family now makes too many soaps.

Gotta sell it soon."

Soap factories all work together. Jiang Yan split the soap-making process into several steps and assigned twelve workers to different positions. In addition, the core alkaline water is boiled by the Lin family themselves. Even if

People in the village changed positions among each other, and there was no need to worry about the formula being leaked.

In the next few days, Linjia Village entered a busy autumn harvest. The village sent five people to help Jiang Yan cultivate seedlings. Jiang Yan asked Lin Nan and Lin Xi to lead a few people to spread soil in the warehouse.

Warehouses No. 1 and 2 have been divided into soap factories. Because the number of finished soap products has increased day by day, Warehouse No. 3 has also become a temporary storage warehouse. Seedling cultivation can only be done in Warehouse No. 4.

Even if the temperature in the warehouse is suitable and easy to control, it takes at least 25 to 30 days to cultivate seedlings, almost a month. In this way, it will be very late and cannot catch up with the planting time of late rice. Jiang Yan had to buy it at a high price in the mall.

A large amount of nutrient solution and accelerating solution should be used to shorten the time to at least ten days, so that the crops can be transplanted to paddy fields immediately after the autumn harvest.

The people who came to help were all good at growing crops in the village. They knew more about the number of seedlings needed. The number of seedlings in one warehouse was not enough. So we opened up several pieces of land in the village and cultivated some more seedlings. In just five days, there were already

New green shoots began to sprout.

When she saw the young sprouts, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. In order to cultivate the seedlings, she studied books on late rice seedling cultivation every day. She also had to avoid several children and stay up late at night to read them carefully. Fortunately, she was now in a room alone.

She didn't have to worry about them finding out anything behind closed doors. After all, she was just a rural widow who knew a few words.

After these busy days, the Lin family has also entered the autumn harvest. Today, Lin Bei and Erbi are taking a break from private school. The two of them specially waited for the family to go to the fields to harvest rice today. The family only has five acres of land, and the family can work quickly in two or three days.

The harvest will be completed.

Early in the morning, the two daughters-in-law got up early and made breakfast. They cooked a pot of rice porridge, cut two plates of pickles, fried a large plate of vegetables and eggs, and all kinds of braised meat prepared last night.

Nowadays, the food is much richer, and the two daughters-in-law are willing to cook richer dishes under Jiang Yan's dundun teachings.

The early morning breeze is refreshing, and the sun has not yet had time to climb up the mountain. There is a faint fragrance of rice in the fresh air, and the family heads to the fields with baskets on their backs and sickles in hand.

There are five sickles at home now, which means five people are cutting the rice at the same time, and the remaining people are responsible for carrying the rice to the threshing floor. In this era, there is no machine that can directly take off the rice from the rice stalk, let alone

Something to husk the rice.

There are ten people in the Lin family. Jiang Yan, his three eldest sons, and Erbi, who has been clamoring to be the leader in harvesting rice, are responsible for harvesting the rice.

Lin Bei and his two sisters-in-law were responsible for carrying the rice to the threshing floor. Because there was a carriage for transportation, the horses were also replaced by a simple wooden cart made by Lin Dong. All they had to do was move the rice to the carriage and then drag the horse to the threshing floor.

Just unload it and take it off.

Xiaodouzi is the youngest and is not considered a labor force, but the little guy is very hard-working. Standing in the rice field, he can only see half of his head. When he bends down, no one can see him. He is like a little bird, moving from time to time.

A handful of rice was placed on the edge of the field so that Lin Bei and the others could carry it onto the carriage.

Lin Feng also immersed himself in moving the rice. Tired beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and sank into his clothes, but he still worked hard like a little bee.

The family has a clear division of labor and works enthusiastically and passionately. Although the autumn harvest is hard work, for farmers, it is the happiest time of the year. No matter how tired they are, everyone's face is full of smiles.

After harvesting for a while, Jiang Yan couldn't bear it. She had harvested rice with her sons before, but it was only a shallow harvest. She just came here for a walk and then left. She didn't really work for more than a few minutes.

She knows how to do it but is too lazy to do it.

Jiang Yan is not very good at it and can't do it well. She has to bend her back all the time to cut rice, holding the rice in her left hand and the sickle in her right hand. She has to move forward slowly during the cutting process. It was okay at first.

, but after working for a while, my whole body was exhausted and sweating, my face was red with blood, and my breath was hot.

She turned her head and looked at the three Lin brothers lined up on the left. They were working so hard, joking and joking, and even playing a game of who was faster than who. Then she turned her head.

Look at Erbi on the right. The little guy is younger, but he works much more efficiently than her. On the same piece of land, everyone has their own route, and the little guy is already a long way ahead of her.

Jiang Yan thought that even if she couldn't do it, she couldn't lose to a seven or eight-year-old kid, so she gritted her teeth and kept working.

The sun was rising gradually, and the whole field was getting hot. When other people in the village passed by the Lin family's paddy field, they all praised Aunt Jiang for being so diligent and working in the fields. They even looked at the carriages transporting rice back and forth with envy. Only Jiang Yan was exhausted mentally and physically, her eyes wide.

I felt dizzy and felt that my hands and feet no longer belonged to me, especially my waist, which made a few crunching sounds when I stood up straight.

At this time, I went to see a few other people. Everyone was obviously starting to feel a little tired, especially Erbi. The little guy's ball head was messy and abnormally mixed with grains and rice leaves. His little face was dripping with sweat and was red and hot.

, the hand holding the sickle was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that it had reached its limit.

"Boss, let's take a break and drink some water first. Erbi, come with me." Jiang Yan dropped the sickle, greeted Xiaodouzi and Lin Feng, who were still diligently carrying rice back and forth in the fields, and walked to the ridge of the field.
Chapter completed!
