"Dad, Dad, let me play with this for a bit."
Zhou Cunzhi became interested as he watched his father push the tiller around and work, so he excitedly squeezed next to him, hoping that he could play with it for a bit.
Although he was a tractor driver in the brigade, tractors weren't something you could just drive casually, and he really wanted to try out this tiller.
Zhou Qingyun was naturally happy to let his adopted son do the work, handing over the tiller to him to operate.
"Fourth brother!"
Zhou Qingshan squeezed next to his younger brother and patted him on the shoulder, "Fourth brother! You've really made something of yourself! Did you make this?"
Although Zhou Qingshan was not the captain of the Guangming Brigade, he took it upon himself to develop the brigade, after all, he was also a brigade cadre.
When he saw the tiller, he knew how good it was. It tilled the small plot of land belonging to his fourth son's family in less than ten minutes.
This tiller is incredibly efficient!
Zhou Qingyun rubbed his shoulder. His older brother was a hard worker and had a lot of energy, so his shoulder was actually a little sore from that slap.
"Fourth brother, can we make a little more of this?" Before Zhou Qingshan could continue speaking, Captain Gao Feng squeezed in.
Zhou Qingyun nodded, "We can mass-produce it, but we don't have the materials here. We need to talk to the machinery factory in the city."
Actually, this tiller is not only suitable for plains, but also for mountainous areas, because it was originally designed to be relatively compact.
Zhou Qingyun took out several blueprints from his pocket and handed them to Gao Feng. "These are the blueprints I drew for a tiller. There are small tillers like this one."
“This type of small one is more suitable for mountainous areas and also for situations like our family’s private plot.”
"Another type is the large tillage machine, which is more suitable for large areas of flat land, as it is fast and efficient."
Zhou Qingyun gave a brief introduction.
China is a vast country with diverse geographical features, so in addition to the plains where large machinery can be used, small machinery can also be used in hilly and mountainous areas.
This compact tiller is well-suited for mountainous areas in the south and southwest, saving a lot of manpower and resources.
With manpower saved, more manpower can be devoted to other tasks.
Gao Feng glanced at the blueprints, though he didn't quite understand them. But as he watched the tiller being pushed around by Zhou Cunzhi and easily sowing seeds, he put the blueprints into his pocket.
"Wait here, I'll take them to the machinery factory to talk things over," Gao Feng said excitedly.
Zhou Qingyun nodded, "Captain, when you go to talk to the machinery factory, remember to try to get two tillers for our Nen Brigade as well, so that farming will be a little easier for us."
Gao Feng said no problem, he would definitely fight for more benefits for their team.
Zhou Qingyun's family didn't have much private land, and it only took them less than an hour and a half to plow and sow the seeds.
Gao Feng couldn't wait to have Zhou Cunzhi load the tiller onto the tractor, and he took the man and the tiller to the machinery factory in the city to find someone.
Zhou Qingshan naturally went along as well. This was thanks to his fourth brother, and he wanted to go along to secure some benefits for his younger brother.
"Dad, you're amazing."
When Zhou Cunzong returned home from his weekend break, he looked at his father with admiration. How could his father be so amazing?
They not only built a tricycle, but now they've even managed to get their hands on a tiller.
This tiller will make farming much easier for everyone, even sowing seeds will be much easier.
Zhou Qingyun looked at him and asked, "Are you interested in learning some skills from me?"
Zhou Cunzong certainly wanted to learn, but he didn't really have high hopes. He just felt that it would be good to learn a skill.
After all, it's always good to have more skills.
"Mom, my classmates really liked the stir-fried sauerkraut and mushroom meat sauce you made last time. Can you make it again this time?" After complimenting his father, Zhou Cunzong didn't forget his mother.
Chen Suwen frowned, "There's no way to make mushroom meat sauce. We've almost finished the mushrooms, and there's no meat left."
Although she could go up the mountain to hunt, she wasn't particularly interested in the meat from the mountains.
She had already said that she preferred domestic pig meat to wild boar meat, so she didn't want to go hunting in the mountains.
Even when she wanted to eat meat, she would only occasionally go up the mountain to catch one or two pheasants or rabbits.
To make mushroom meat sauce, you need a lot of meat; simple pheasant meat simply won't do.
Pheasant soup is okay, but stir-fried meat sauce is no good at all; there's hardly any meat. Soup is much more flavorful.
"Okay, you can make stir-fried pickled cabbage too."
Chen Suwen naturally had no objections.
This time, Zhou Qingyun hadn't yet managed to get the oil press from her previous life, but the couple secretly took it out and pressed oil themselves.
She was in charge of growing things like peanuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and corn that could be pressed for oil, while Zhou Qingyun was in charge of powering on the oil press. The couple secretly pressed a lot of oil.
All of these vegetable oils were stored in Chen Suwen's space, and she had also stockpiled a lot of supplies in her previous life.
Although resources were relatively scarce in the 1970s and 1980s, they became increasingly abundant after the 1990s.
Chen Suwen also became increasingly successful at making money. She used part of that money to support herself, donated part to charity, and of course, used the rest to stockpile goods.
Who knows if she will continue to travel through time, or what dangers she might encounter?
So she stockpiled a lot of goods.
