After worshipping the god of Ji, the rice began to be harvested.

On both sides of the bathing ditch, the threshing machines were whistling. After the Li family's long-time workers had threshing machines, the harvesting speed was much faster.

Four people in a group, equipped with a threshing machine, just right.

Two long-term workers were responsible for trampling and threshing, and two teenagers came to get the grain and cooperated with Wujian. In addition, there were specialists who were harvesting rice, and usually women were the ones who started to go down the fields to harvest rice early in the morning. At that time, the weather was just slightly bright, and when it was cooler one morning, there was dew on the rice.

They had already bent over with sickles and cut rows of rice, cutting six or seven grains at a time, and two rows were just put into one handful. After harvesting them in such rows, soon a piece of golden rice was placed in the dried fields.

The harvested rice will soon dry after the sun comes out.

Because the Li family has many threshing machines and many long-term workers, they directly carry the threshing machines to the fields to beat them, so as not to cause trouble to transport the rice to the village.

Turning the threshing machine in reverse, two senior workers carried the machine and stepped on the road on the ridge and came to the field.

Once the threshing machine is turned over, the shed is set up and you can start.

The people who are responsible for getting the grain are all young children, and many of them are the children of long-term workers. They bring them to get the grain. The Li family also pays them for their wages. They can make money every day. The wages are relatively cost-effective, and adults will not have such delicate children at this time. Of course, they have to work in the fields during the busy farming season.

Look over there, even His Royal Highness is taking the rice.

Let’s look at the threshing of the grain. Isn’t it the two generals of the Right Yulin, Li Laojun Duke and Prime Minister Zhao Duke. Even the female relatives of the Li family came to work today.

The Li family has always had a tradition of keeping a piece of private land.

Even if Li Chao becomes the prime minister and Duke, this tradition has not changed.

The land is not big, only one acre of land. The Li family cultivates this land by themselves. They support the plows and plow the fields themselves, and plant the rice seedlings and harvest them by themselves.

Don't help from other servants.

For Li Chao, making such a piece of land of three parts of the land would only make the family understand where the grain comes from, the hard work of farming, etc., and they should not forget their roots. Of course, these people in the Li family know about it now, but the next generation may not necessarily remember it when they grow up.

Many people say that wealth cannot last for three generations, and aristocrats can only be cultivated for more than three generations. Therefore, Li Chao cares about this private land. From now on, he must regard this as the tradition of the Li family.

In fact, the Li family has a lot of people, one acre and three cents of land is nothing.

The weather was very cold, Li Chao wore a straw hat, and everyone else in the family wore straw hats. Cui Yingying and Du Shiniang and others finished their confinement period and came out today. They symbolically cut a row of rice, and then they were responsible for picking up rice ears while picking up rice ears. Qi Niang, Zheng Wanyan and Zheng Hongxian were both pregnant, so they were just watching.

Fortunately, Li Chao's private area is located in a pretty good location, and there is a row of trees not far away. Among them, there is a tall tree, which is very cool sitting under the tree.

However, the prince and a group of naughty children are all dressed in the same outfit at the moment.

Each of them had a straw hat, a pair of straw sandals under their feet, and then short robe and shorts to facilitate the use of grain. This group of little guys took turns to take grain, and when they didn't take grain, they would go to get sickles to cut rice.

Regardless of speed, it's a process anyway.

Even if the harvested rice is very scattered, it doesn’t matter.

After a while, the barn was full.

"Stay a break and drink some water."

Li Chao picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat. The weather was really hot. He stepped on the threshing machine under the sun. Although there was a straw hat, the sweat kept flowing down.

What I hate the most is that there is always a flirting bug. If you don’t pay attention, you will climb from the rice to your body. Sometimes you spray some juice on your arms that roll up your sleeves. It’s smelly and hot, and you’re extremely annoying.

Occasionally there are some big locusts.

This thing is a bit similar to a grasshopper, but it is very big, with a green body, a yellow belly, thick and strong feet, and a row of barbs. If you scratch it, you can make people bleeding.

Once the rice is cut, there are countless insects in the fields, such as frogs, toads, grasshoppers, locusts, sometimes snakes, mice, and bird nests and eggs.

Those quails like to make nests in rice fields. They have a small quail egg and many spots. They are delicious when roasted and cooked.

It was still early, and the rice had just cut a small piece, but it had already built a warehouse.

But Li Chao is not in a hurry. Anyway, this is an experience, a process. If you are tired, you can rest for a while. One acre of three parts of the land can be completed in two or three days.

There was a full barn of grain, and Li Chao was too lazy to go out to sieve the grain immediately.

Go straight to the shade of the tree.

Cui Yingying had already brought a large teapot to pour a cup of tea for Li Chao.

"It's so hot and sweating so much, come and have a cup of tea."

Li Chao smiled and said, "I have to drink a glass of ice water first."

The Li family has good conditions and guaranteed logistics work. The large pieces of ice collected from the ice cellar are brought to the fields in a refrigerator with insulation compartment, and then the spring water that had just been fed from the mountain spring in the morning is iced in the refrigerator.

"The water is too cold and it makes my stomach feel uncomfortable."

"It's okay, I don't drink it every day, so I should have some ice spring water now. If I hadn't had to work later, I would like to have some ice beer."

Cui Yingying couldn't persuade Li Chao, so she had to ask Zhao Siniang to pour a glass of ice spring water for Li Chao.

After taking the water cup that had already risen from the wall of the cup, Li Chao drank it all, and his whole body was relieved and his pores were open.

"Cool!"

Hong Shi stood with a fan and fanned Li Chao.

Li Chao asked Zhao Siniang to pour him another ice spring and then deliver it to his father.

"Dad, come and have a drink of ice spring."

The father smiled and shook his head, "I can't get used to that, so herbal tea is better. You can drink it better if you drink it so cold, so your stomach can't stand it."

Li Chao held the glass of ice spring and drank slowly, looking at a group of naughty children who were still stubborn under the sun just now. He was very happy to be alive under the shade of the trees.

"Dad, this harvest is better this year."

"Yes, the yield of our family's three-quarters land may be low, and those old-fashioned farming are even more powerful. Look at their rice ears, they are almost bent to the ground."

"I have applied a lot of fertilizer and I have never lacked water. I said that this year the rice in our ditch can produce at least six stones. This is really the first time."

"After all, a few thousand kilograms of fat are underground, but it is not ordinary. It is also deep and delicate, and it is handled like treasures. It is not as thick as before, and it should be more harvested."
