Chapter 34 Cultivation and Harvest
Hideki Hinata held handfuls of golden rice seeds in both hands and threw them into a large bowl with half a bowl of water at her hand.
Most of the seeds were sinking to the bottom, and dozens of seeds floated. His hand steadily copied them, fished out all the floating seeds, threw them into the garbage bag that had been prepared long ago, and discarded them.
This is a simple seed screening method used by farmers for hundreds of years. Being able to float means that the inside of these seeds is empty or incomplete and basically impossible to be used for planting.
Then he kept the water from the bowl clean, and chakra poured into his eyes, and veins bulged.
Roll your eyes!
In the world of black and white, he could easily see through the husks of rice seeds, see whether the brown rice inside was full, and dial them into three containers according to three reference levels.
Select excellent, good, and medium-sized third-class seeds.
His good eyesight combined with the Ninja's stable hands and chakra control ability made him do this kind of work in an orderly manner. The accumulation of experience also made him more skillful. After half an hour, he could each take three huge containers of 100 kilograms of seeds, which were completely filled by him.
But when he turned around and saw the unsifted rice piled up on the other side, he couldn't help but sigh and stood up to move his body.
He opened the door and walked out of the seed storage room. A civilian dressed in a farmer immediately came over and handed him drinking water, expressing his hard work, and then called on others to transport the 300 kilograms of seeds that had just been screened to other places in a cart.
This kind of life has been around for a week, and it can be predicted that it will last at least ten days and a half months. As a special ninja of the Hinata clan, he is almost alone responsible for screening the fine varieties of all villages and towns around a city in the Fire Country.
Compared to ordinary tasks, such things not only make him physically tired, but also feel a little tired.
Why do the Hyuga tribe ninjas do this kind of work? How could the clan leader agree to the order of Lord Naruto? Although it is better than those guys who go to the fields to farm in person, how can our Hyuga tribe's noble eyes be used to...
"Where are you resting, Hideki?" A shout from afar made Hideki come back to her senses and look back at Hinata.
The person who came was in his early 20s, and he was about the same age as him. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and looked average. He wore wood leaves to protect his forehead. He wore coarse cloth clothes like farmers, and there were spots of mud on his clothes.
On his shoulder, he was carrying a few metal rakes with a scent of fireworks.
As he approached, he said, "The rakes in Shanxia Village are not enough. I went to find Uncle Jiang to make a few more tricks. How are you doing here?"
Some of the energy-filled looks... Hideki Hidea said, "It's still early."
After pausing, he said again: "Zheng Dai, your mission is to command those Bai Jue. You don't need to go down the field to dig soil, nor do you need..."
"By the way, Hideki, I met Kakashi just now. He said that the ninjas in Iwaken Village and the Hidden Village of Mizuno have completed the construction of the reservoir. Do you want to go over and take a look together?" Zheng Dai said excitedly.
I didn’t listen to what I said at all, why can farming make you so happy!
Hidea Hinata's face turned dark. She looked back at the seed warehouse, then looked at the sky, and said, "Go and check if they have any omissions."
"Let's go and carry two for me."
Hideki Hinata took the two plows that Zheng Dai threw over, and then realized that she looked at Zheng Dai who was walking in front of her silently, and could only keep up, and scolded him dozens of words in her heart.
The two soon arrived in front of a huge reservoir built by artificially. This reservoir needs to solve the irrigation problem of newly reclaimed fields in dozens of surrounding villages and towns. The water storage capacity is more than 10 million cubic meters. It was built by more than a dozen earth-escaped water-escaped ninjas for nearly a month. Without using their eyes, they could not see the ninjas' eyesight.
Compared to his work, those jobs that require moving mountains and building lakes will probably be even harder.
"It's really spectacular." Zheng Dai next to him sighed: "I really didn't expect that Iwai and Mizuki Nakano would join forces to build a reservoir in our country of fire."
"We Konoha Ninjas have also gone to their country," Hideki Hidea said.
"Well, I heard that even the ninja god, Wano Country Daming, went to Fengzhi Country in person, and used ninjutsu to help them control the desert... I don't know what that would be like there." Masada said: "Okay, I have to go to Yamashita Village to deliver farm tools."
"...I'll go with you. Those Bai Jue have left your sight for too long. You guys have been reckless."
"Don't worry, I've kept my water clone."
"What can the clone do?"
"What can't be done with a clone?" Just as he was returning, he suddenly smiled: "Xiushu, you guy is not trying to be lazy, right! Go and screen your seeds, and you will start sowing seeds in half a month. Don't delay the spring plowing!"
"You need to say it will be done."
In the end, Hideki Hinata followed Masada to Yamashita Village and saw several Bai Jue who were squeezing the land with a plow instead of the scalper.
Because as early as a month ago, the Wind Escape Ninja and the Earth Escape Ninja selectively reclaimed the nearby woods into cultivated land. Originally, there were no enough farmers and oxen villages in Yamashita Village, and the ninja assistance was also very tight, but this white priest, which could replace the scalper, was perfectly filled.
"I'll say there's no problem." Zheng Dai canceled his water clone, carried the rake and jumped into the field without any hesitation, crushed the large piece of soil that Bai Jue had turned up, and looked up and said, "I'm working! Do you want to come down to help, Xiushu!"
Hideka Hideki looked refusing, and stood on the ridge of the field again, watching Zheng Dai work for a while, before walking back slowly.
Half a month later, as the eve of sowing approached, he finally screened all the rice seeds, breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled the farmers to move the last few hundred kilograms of seeds away.
Can you finally get back to Konoha?
"Hyuki, are you done?" Just then, Zheng Dai found him again: "Kakashi has just passed on a new mission."
"New mission?" Xiushu's eyelids twitched.
"Well, after sowing, I inspect the fields from time to time, and use my eyes to find the grass seeds that were blown into the fields by the wind. I found that there were weeds that were fighting for nutrition with rice, so I got rid of them as soon as possible!" Masada smiled and said, "I really envy you. Rolling your eyes is so easy to use. Your Hinata clan may become the most popular ninja family this time."
Hidea Hinata's face turned completely dark.
He doesn't want such a welcome at all!
‘Fortunately…I inspect every half month, it’s not long, right?’
"By the way, also, under the suggestion of Daine Wano Country, we have been organized into production teams, and our captain is Kakashi. When the autumn harvest is over, we will measure our work this year based on the average yield per mu in the corresponding region. The amount of compensation we can charge will be determined according to the results. You should work hard..."
When the energetic Masada left, Hidea Hinata stood silently, as if she had lost her soul.
He didn't know how he survived the next six months, so he had to do it when he returned to the village. After the commission, he had to come back to take care of the rice situation. When the number of rice lice increased, he was even forced to go to the field to deworm himself.
Another year of autumn harvest is coming quietly.
Standing in the golden rice fields, Hideki Hinata looked at the farmers who cried with joy and cut off a ear of rice, and finally felt a different feeling in her heart. Is this a bumper harvest?
"The harvest is good!" Dai Yi smiled and said, "How about it, the endless golden rice fields are spectacular? We also have our contributions here, right, the trees!"
"Yes." Hideki Hideki nodded slightly.
"Okay, it's time for us to leave."
“…I’m going back to the village now?”
"Where did you receive a notice when you go back to the village? It's time to prepare for the autumn wheat seeds. Your work remains unchanged, and you can screen for good seeds!"
