Chapter 260 Personal Battle
"We have two types of harvesting today: mechanical harvesting and manual harvesting."
Before Ma Tao could finish his words, Lin Yu'an interrupted him, "Director, do you think we're stupid? Why do we need manual labor when we have machines to harvest?"
【Mechanical harvesting is definitely not that simple.】
"I haven't finished yet." Ma Tao continued, "Since none of you have ever touched mechanical cotton harvesting equipment, if you choose mechanical harvesting, you need to first learn how to use the machine and how to harvest. Based on your learning ability, you can only proceed with mechanical harvesting after the master's approval."
This is a good idea, as it prevents guests from messing around and ruining the cotton the farmer has grown for the year.
[The above person should just click on Zhou Qingli and Lin Yuan's names.]
After Ma Tao finished his announcement, Cheng Yuhan raised his hand and asked, "Director, Sister Song and I have already obtained luxury boat tickets. Do we still want to join them in picking cotton?
We all won, but they still asked us to keep working, which is a bit deceptive."
Ma Tao added, "Today's competition is an individual competition. The winner does not need to join the others in the task, but those who fail to complete the 200-jin harvesting task can end the recording of this episode early."
The bus traveled for nearly an hour before finally arriving at their destination.
Through the car window, all you can see is the endless cotton fields.
The old master who was teaching them how to use the cotton harvester came over right after their bus stopped. Ma Tao said, "Those who choose to work on the cotton harvester can follow this old master to learn how to use it. Once the old master nods, they can use the harvester on their own."
Song Zhiwei, who didn't even have a driver's license, decisively gave up on mechanical cotton harvesting. "It looks unreliable. There's no way I could learn it quickly. I'll choose manual harvesting."
After hearing Song Zhiwei's words, the other members began to waver.
With previous experience, Lin Yuan became extra cautious this time. "Master, is the cotton harvester easy to learn?"
"It's hard to say. You can say it's easy or difficult. It depends on the learning ability of each member. Those with strong learning ability may be able to learn it in half an hour, while those with poor learning ability may not be able to learn it even after studying for a whole day." The old master didn't dare to make a direct guarantee and spoke ambiguously.
"Master, it makes no difference whether you said it or not." Lin Yu'an complained.
After some hesitation, Lin Yuan, like Song Zhiwei, chose the more cautious manual harvesting method.
Except for Zhou Qingli, the other members chose manual harvesting, and Chen Jingmo did not choose.
Linjiang City had a wide range of rice cultivation, but had never ventured into cotton. Song Zhiyuan took the initiative to suggest, "I want to try the cotton picker."
Cheng Yuhan, who had originally planned to leisurely serve as a supervisor, was forced to join the work with a bitter face after hearing Song Zhiyuan's words. If two people won, he would be the only one left idle, which would easily arouse public outrage and be easily scolded.
But work is work, Cheng Yuhan sought some benefits for himself in advance and discussed with Ma Tao, "Director, are there any benefits for us when we harvest cotton?"
Ma Tao shook his head. "If there are no benefits, you can choose not to do it."
"If there is no cotton harvester, then so be it. I also want to try the cotton picker." Since there was no harvesting task, Cheng Yuhan decisively chose to harvest with the cotton picker.
Ma Tao asked, "Teacher Shen, would you choose manual labor or a cotton picker?"
"Cotton picker." Shen Jingmo decisively chose the simpler mechanized harvesting.
[I knew that with Sister Song around, the actor would definitely not choose artificial.]
Select four members of the cotton picker and follow the master to the learning location.
The other seven members were directly assigned to carry bamboo baskets and move back and forth in the cotton fields to pick cotton.
Because they had to compete for the luxury tickets, all the members did not dare to stop working for a moment.
Lin Yuan, who was standing next to Song Zhiwei, moved his hands very quickly, plucking the white cotton flowers from the branches with both hands almost at the same time.
Song Zhiwei followed Lin Yuan closely, and soon the two of them had picked a full basket of cotton.
[Lin Yuan and the top streamers are completely on the rise.]
[I've never seen anything like this before. This is the first time I've seen Lin Yuan not slacking off.]
[These two are almost the same in terms of speed and progress, so it's hard to tell who will win. I'm betting a bag of spicy noodles on the top player.]
Speed isn't a big deal; what really matters is endurance. Considering Lin Yu'an's personality, being able to hold out for an hour is pretty impressive. I'm also on top of this wave.
[It's right to support the top streamer. The top streamer may not be competitive in other things. This is related to whether or not you can live in a luxurious room on the same floor with Sister Song.]
At the same time, the four people who followed the master to learn have arrived at their destination.
There were more than a dozen cotton pickers in the cotton field, and there was a large cotton field not far ahead.
The old master held the handle outside the cotton picker and jumped into the machine. "I will teach you first, and then you can start practicing. Those who meet the requirements can go to the cotton field in front for assessment. Those who pass the assessment can go to harvest."
When Song Zhiyuan came over, Shen Jingmo, who was standing next to the cotton picker, took the initiative to lend a hand.
Song Zhiyuan paused, looked at Shen Jingmo's large palm, and without hesitation placed her slender fingers on the man's palm.
There were some calluses on the man's palms from working during this period, which made him feel warm and safe.
After Song Zhiyuan got on the cotton picker, Zhou Qingli immediately stepped forward and squeezed out Cheng Yuhan who was following closely behind Song Zhiyuan.
Zhou Qingli stretched out her hand and was about to place it on Shen Jingmo's palm, but at this moment, Shen Jingmo suddenly retracted his hand that was floating in the air, leaving Zhou Qingli's hand awkwardly suspended in the air.
Even so, Zhou Qingli didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly, "Jing Mo, you didn't even help me."
Shen Jingmo refused Zhou Qingli, "You can hold the handrail."
[The actor is truly a model of contemporary male virtue.]
[Except for Sister Song, any female guest's support is not within the scope of the actor's service.]
Cheng Yuhan, who was following behind Zhou Qingli, couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Qingli, do you want me to help you?"
"Don't bother me with my business. I can get up there by myself." Zhou Qingli angrily held onto the handle beside him and stepped onto the cotton picker.
After the other two members got on the cotton picker, the old master began to teach them, "The speed of the cotton picker is adjusted according to the height and density of the cotton and the conditions of the ground. When facing relatively short plants, the speed should be slowed down appropriately.
Compared with manual labor, cotton pickers still have some disadvantages, such as more waste, so everyone must pay attention to this when harvesting.
Now I will teach you how to use the machine.
You should all be familiar with the steering wheel, but the most important thing is the cotton picking operation, the joystick, which can adjust the height of the harvester."
