There are also children who gather together, start a fire, throw rice grains into the fire to make popcorn, and eat it as a snack. At this time, adults will not say anything. After being busy for so long, it is okay to grab a handful of rice and give it to the children to play with. What's more, they picked it up by themselves. They just ask them to be careful and not burn themselves.

The weather was good during this period, and the grains were dried very well and stored in bags. In this era, the yield per mu was about 400 kilograms, which Wang Yu thought was very good. Five mu of land produced 2,000 kilograms, which is 20 shi. The grain tax was 20 to 1, and 20 shi paid the tax of 1 shi. You can pay with grain or pay money directly to offset the grain. The grain tax in the Dali period was relatively low, leaving enough food and seeds for consumption. Families with more land had some left over that could be sold to grain merchants. The money from selling grain was basically the source of income for farmers.

After the rice was harvested, their family also had two acres of corn that was ripe. Each corn was hanging on the stalk, golden in color. With only two acres of land, four people were able to harvest them all in one day. Since there was not much corn, they could just transport it to their own yard to dry in the sun. After drying, it was easy to preserve and could also be ground into cornmeal for consumption.

The next step is to plant the second season of rice. Their family doesn't have much land, so they were busy for more than 20 days. This busy farming season is over. People with more land will still need to be busy for a while. Although it is very tiring, the thought of having a harvest in a few months is worth the joy and anticipation.

This year the weather has been good and every household has a good grain yield. People discuss their income before and after meals.

The village was filled with the joy of a good harvest. Wang Yu was also sitting in his yard eating dinner. There was cooked corn on the table. The fresh corn tasted sweet. There was always joy after a good harvest. Eating the grain harvested by one's family made one even happier. Even the fatigue of harvesting in the past few days seemed worth it when he ate it at this moment.
