Chapter 38: Breaking Corn, Digging Potatoes, Shaving Sweet Potatoes
"Everyone is quiet, don't be noisy, don't be crowded!
Arrange them one by one in order and prepare for the onlookers. If anyone squeezes forward and turns around and distributes the good varieties, there will be no problem in their village!”
Jiang Hao was prepared when he came, and he knew very well that they were really concerned about and worried about things they really care about.
So, when the old people in the village gathered around, they immediately took out the inferior amplifier speakers that were already ready and made of iron sheets and said loudly.
After hearing what Jiang Hao said, the clan elders who were excited to swarm up suddenly stopped and then quickly dispersed.
They lined up according to the rules and seniority, not only the speed was very fast, but the queues were actually quite neat.
If you want to tell them something else, what to do according to the rules, take your time, etc., then they may not necessarily listen.
Or even if you listen, it is impossible to listen to them all.
However, if you want to say who is disobedient, you will not be able to give birth to good fortune.
I didn't dare to do anything anymore.
After all, they represent not only themselves, but also their village.
If you look back because you are disobedient, other people's villages will get the best seeds, but your village will not get it.
Then you must be despised and killed by the villagers in your own village.
Those village elders can still understand this.
Jiang Hao was relieved when he saw that they were no longer crowding in as he had before.
It's a good harvest, he doesn't want any accidents. These village elders are younger than fifty years old.
Just now, a large group of them squeezed forward frantically. Jiang Hao was not worried about anything else, but he was worried that they would squeeze out some accidents. They were all in their sixties and seventies. Where could they be healthy?
This is not his era. Unlike his era, when he was in his sixties or seventies, he could dance square dance everywhere, and he could play an old man and a lady.
In this era, even if it is over 60, it is extremely rare. If it is over 80, it is better to respect the county magistrates and others when they see it.
This is respect for the elderly.
The elderly in each village are basically the older people.
Character, family status, etc. may be less particular, but you must be older and better have a higher seniority.
Why?
Think about it, there are two villages, one village is fifty years old, the other village is eighty years old, and the eighty-year-old one is two generations higher than the fifty-year-old one.
A village that is only fifty years old is innately lower than a village that is eighty years old.
What is this called?
Can this be called relying on one's seniority?
No, this is called conquering people with virtue, conquering people with generations and years of virtue!
Seeing that the old people in the village lined up and stopped squeezing towards him, Jiang Hao quickly walked to the edge of the land where the seeds were planted.
There are less than two acres of land there, most of which are yellow potatoes, sweet potato branches and leaves, and the remaining small part is some green corn poles.
When he turned his head, he saw the anticipated gazes of the old villagers beside him, and immediately said:
"Miao Yi, it's time to start!
Let me dig the corn first, and let me dig it first when digging potatoes and sweet potatoes later. Let me show you a demonstration before digging it, so as not to accidentally dig the potatoes and sweet potatoes!"
After Jiang Hao finished giving the order, he immediately broke off the corn rod on his left hand, and the largest corn at the top.
Miao Yi and the others have been serving this field in the past three months. They have long had feelings for this place and have already been eager to try it out. They have even estimated the specific output in their hearts.
At this time, when Jiang Hao heard the order, he immediately stepped forward quickly. He divided up forty or fifty corn poles by himself. He successfully broke all the corn in less than fifteen minutes.
This is because they were not familiar with and were more careful when they first started to break corn.
There was no way, the total seeds were enough to plant about 400 corn, and less than 500 were almost ten people at once.
Can the speed be not fast?
Half a quarter of an hour later, there was a pile of corn around Jiang Hao. After a rough look, it was estimated that there were more than 5,000.
It has to be said that the yield of high-yield fast-growing corn is still OK. On average, five to six corn can grow on each corn rod, and each corn is estimated to be 8 taels to one pound.
It's really not wasting their thick and long corn poles.
Jiang Hao did not rush to weigh the corn, but picked up the hoe and began to dig up the potatoes and sweet potatoes in a good manner, preparing to weigh them together after the sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug out.
At this time, all other officials living in the Yongning County Government, namely the Minister of Finance, rushed over.
It’s not that they are too lazy, but it was agreed that it would start at Chen hour in the morning, but who knew that those villages were old so early, and some were waiting here even at the end of Yin hour.
In the end, Jiang Hao had to dig in advance, otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed these old men in their fifties and sixties, sixties and seventies to stand here for two or three hours.
Therefore, these officials were much slower at the agreed time at that time. This was because they were worried that they would come late, so they specially made nearly an hour ahead of schedule.
If you really come over at the right time, you probably won’t see the three good harvests, and at most you can only see the final harvest.
"Sir, we are late!"
As soon as Hou Dahe arrived next to Jiang Hao, he did not ask why he dug it early, but instead said that we were late.
"It's not that you're late, it's that I've dug up too early!
It’s also my fault. I didn’t expect that these village elders valued this matter so much. Many people probably were waiting here at the end of Yin Shi!
I couldn't bear to let them wait here for two or three hours, so I dug in advance. When will it not be dug?
You go and have someone bring all the weighing items here and prepare to weigh later!
Miao Yi, I just saw it, you guys start digging as I was just now!"
Jiang Hao knew Hou Dahe's little thoughts very well, but he didn't care about such innocuous little thoughts.
After explaining, he told him to get the scales quickly and ask Miao Yi and the others to come and help dig potatoes and sweet potatoes.
There are less than two acres of land in total, and even if the yield is high, it will not take long to dig out all the sweet potatoes.
In fact, before I could dig out all the sweet potatoes and potatoes, I only dug out a few of them, the old villagers beside me were already blushing, and I was so excited that I wanted to reach out to grab them and go and see them.
If someone else was blocking him, he would probably be able to rush in and grab it directly.
Even if they are old people in the village, they cannot live in a pampered and do nothing. When they were young, they were all good people who farmed.
