Chapter 258: Autumn Harvest Begins 2



Feng Qingxue also wore a hat with a wide brim, a gray long-sleeved shirt and black pants.

The bamboo hat made of bamboo strips and oil paper can protect against sun and rain.

Wang Dachun gave a shout and everyone started working.

First cut the sweet potato vines, transport them away, let the ground dry, and then dig the sweet potatoes.

Wang Dachun immediately arranged strong laborers to drive oxen to plow the empty land where sweet potatoes had been dug, followed by women who sowed wheat seeds.

There is a lot of work to do, but it is all done in an orderly manner, presenting a scene of bustling activity.

Feng Qingxue held the production team's roster in her hand and called the roll first. However, she did not record everyone's work points early in the morning. Instead, she recorded the work points based on a day's inspection. Only those who did the most and best farm work that day would be given ten work points, regardless of gender. For example, brothers and sisters-in-law Miao Fengqin and Wang Dachun worked hard, while those who liked to be lazy and worked less, like Wang Jiao, would only be given six work points.

In this regard, Wang Zhengguo managed extremely strictly.

Therefore, he needed to inspect the situation of all production teams himself, and would go to the fields to work in the intervals between inspections to prevent the team leaders and accountants from being partial and giving high work points to relatives and friends and low work points to illiterate people.

The vast majority of the people were illiterate, and because the production team leader was in charge of everything, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Wang Zhengguo's approach is supported by many people.

Bending down to cut sweet potato vines is not an easy job. If you bend down for a long time, your back and waist will ache. You have to stand up, pat your waist and continue to work. If you don’t harvest the crops quickly when the weather is good, do you have to wait until the weather is bad to go to the fields?

Digging sweet potatoes is also a technical job. People with good skills can dig the sweet potatoes out of the soil intact without damaging the sweet potatoes at all. Some people don't know how to control their strength and with one rake, the sweet potatoes are dug out with a raker, and the skin and flesh are also damaged.

Once the sweet potato is damaged, it will inevitably get covered with dirt, and naturally look dirty.

The dug sweet potatoes are transported to the fields in bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets and dung dustpans. Because spring sweet potatoes are sliced ​​for food, all of them, regardless of size, are sliced ​​with a sweet potato planer and evenly spread on the open space where the sweet potatoes have been transported away and wheat has been planted, to dry in the wind.

The soil now is neither dry nor wet, which is conducive to digging sweet potatoes and planting wheat, although the soil moisture is slightly lower than the standard for planting wheat.

The entire production brigade has a total of more than 6,000 mu of land, and each production team has about 500 mu. The work is heavy and time is tight, and there can be no delay. Who knows whether the weather will be stormy or sunny? If it rains heavily, it will be impossible to dig sweet potatoes and plant wheat for a long time. If it doesn't rain, it will not be conducive to digging sweet potatoes, let alone planting wheat.

Therefore, even if the humidity is not enough, wheat should be planted quickly.

The land where wheat was planted is a natural place for drying sweet potato chips. Some of the sweet potato chips are dried on the spot. If there is not enough space, they are transported to the ground where they have been ground and spread out.

The dark brown soil and the white sweet potato chips form a sharp contrast.

The sweet potato planer used to slice sweet potatoes is a rectangular wooden board about 80 to 90 centimeters long, 20 to 30 centimeters wide, and 3 to 4 centimeters thick. There is a cut in the middle of the board, and a very sharp iron sheet is fixed under the cut.

Most women and older men are engaged in the work of peeling sweet potato chips.

They sat in front of piles of sweet potatoes, with a sweet potato planer placed between their legs in front of them, like a slope, high on the top and low on the bottom. They held a sweet potato in their hands and slid down along the planer, where it was cut into pieces by the iron sheet and fell directly from the hole in the middle of the wooden board.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I am not feeling well due to a cold, so I will update the first two chapters. The remaining two chapters will be updated in the afternoon or evening.
