Female Supreme: I have loved you for thousands of years

Chapter 118: I Will Come for You All My Life (114)

The next morning, He Qing woke up dazedly, then remembered what he hadn't finished saying last night, and subconsciously went into Luo Shu's arms: "My wife comes first~"

Luo Shu had already woken up when he snuggled into her arms, but she hadn't opened her eyes yet. But the next moment, the vague words that came into her ears made her open her eyes quickly.

The person in her arms hadn't opened his eyes yet, but his well-behaved and lovely look made her eyes uncontrollably stay on his face, and she was unwilling to leave.

He Qingben was in a state of being half awake, and there was no follow-up after he said that. His eyebrows slightly frowned. Doesn't his wife believe it?

He opened his eyes excitedly, and when their eyes met, his breathing seemed to stop. Then, as expected, his face turned red, like a ripe prune, pink and translucent.

Luo Shu maintained a calm smile, but in fact the tips of his ears were completely red.

Luo Shu was very happy in her heart, because her A Qing always put her first.

After some morning bonding time, they both got up.

----

Time passed unknowingly and it was June. The sky and the earth were golden and the fragrance of wheat wafted into every household. Because of last year's flood, this year's harvest was not very good. Fortunately, the court issued a notice that taxes could be reduced by half this year and restored next year.

During the busy farming season, if you want to eat delicious food that is convenient, fast food is the only option.

In previous years, because of the restaurant, she seldom participated in farm work, and since He Qing cooked at home, she didn't think too much about it.

But this year is different. Ever since she handed the restaurant over to Qin Shu, she has rarely participated in it, except for adding new products from time to time.

Qin Shu ran the restaurant very well, especially during the Chinese New Year. After they returned to the village to get married, she worked harder than before, determined to give Xiao Ai a better life in the future.

Her thoughts turned back to her thoughts, she rolled up her sleeves and started making wraps, roujiamo and Chinese hamburgers in the kitchen.

She put plenty of vegetables and meat in the wraps, and gave each person a glass of goat milk.

After dinner, she went to the fields with He's mother. He's father also worked as a helper. He Qing was left at home to look after the house and Xiaoxiao.

With the addition of her labor force, their family's wheat harvest was much faster than in previous years. After harvesting the wheat, they threshed it and then dried it and stored it.

Here wheat is still threshed by hand. On a hot day, you can see every household threshing with their doors open and threshing with their arms at a high frequency. After seeing this, Luo Shu thought it was too tiring.

But her family didn't have any farmland before, and she had the impression that even in rural areas, work had basically been mechanized. So how could she save effort and be more efficient without mechanical tools?

As she stood in her yard looking out over the backyard field, she had an idea.

Yes, in the rural area where my grandmother lives, every family has a piece of vacant land where various crops are planted.

But she remembered her grandmother saying that this piece of land was used to press and winnow wheat.

Pressing wheat should be similar to grinding it. She can make a round stone tool to press it. In this way, she can achieve the effect of rubbing and pressing the wheat. And then she can use a cow or a donkey to pull it.

After the idea came into her mind, she began to prepare. After repeated experiments, a stone tool for pressing wheat was completed.

The ground in the backyard was already compacted, and she had pressed it back and forth thousands of times in the past few days, so the ground had long been firm and flat.

"Mother-in-law, my tool is finished, let's get some wheat and test it out!"

They all lived in the same courtyard, so of course she knew very well what her son-in-law had been doing these days.

She didn't have much hope at first, after all, the way of threshing wheat has been passed down from generation to generation is to shake it by hand.

But she was also very excited when her son-in-law said it was a success.

If the effect is really as the son-in-law said, their progress in threshing wheat will be greatly improved in the future, and they will have time to rest or do other business.

So the two of them carried a lot of the remaining wheat to the backfield, and then led the horses around the field.

Mother He watched her son-in-law turning so easily in front of her, and completely forgot her previous worry about crushing the wheat. She ran over excitedly and said, "Son-in-law, let me try too."

Luo Shu smiled and said, "Sure." Then he handed the reins to her.

Luo Shu looked at the many pressed places, then picked up the wheat straw with a fork and shook it to let the wheat grains fall out.

After this repeated rolling back and forth, the wheat was threshed faster and faster, and it was also much easier than before, as one only had to lead the horse back and forth.

Looking at the stone tool for threshing wheat, she immediately thought of the curved plow, an agricultural tool that appeared in history textbooks.

\u0027The curved plow, also known as the Dongjiang plow, first appeared in the Dongjiang region in the late Tang Dynasty. Its appearance is a sign of the maturity of my country's farming tools. \u0027

Thinking of the curved plow, her mind wandered to the harrow. After plowing the land, the next step is of course to apply fertilizer, so the harrow is very necessary.

The next day, she drew a slightly improved design of the curved plow and the harrow and handed it to He's mother. When He's mother saw it, her eyes lit up and she was very excited: "Son-in-law, are these also new farm tools of yours?"

Luo Shu nodded: "Yes, if successful, it will greatly improve the efficiency of farm work."

If it becomes popular, it will be a great advancement in agricultural production of this dynasty and will promote human progress.

If all these tools are in place, then a bullock cart is a must-buy.

However, the news that their family did not harvest wheat spread quickly after a villager from Futian Village came to their house to borrow tools.

At this time, everyone who had crops in the family was at home threshing wheat, without exception, so this aroused their curiosity.

The village chief also heard the news. He was afraid that something might have happened at her house so he went to ask what was going on.

"Hey, Lao He's family, people are saying that you are not threshing the wheat. Have you finished threshing?"

He's mother was a little surprised for a moment. They had only been trying out the new tool for two days, but it had already spread throughout the village.

"No, maybe it's because Old Liu, who came to my house yesterday to borrow tools, saw that we didn't make a misunderstanding at the time."

When the village chief heard that it was a misunderstanding, he felt relieved and rushed back home to work.

Luo Shu was winnowing wheat in the back field. When he saw He's mother coming back, he asked, "Mother-in-law, who is that?"

He's mother told her that the village chief was coming.

Luo Shu suddenly had an idea in her mind. The fact that their family had added new farm tools would surely not be kept secret for long. Since they were all from the same village, she was willing to help them.

After most of the wheat at home had been threshed, she told He's mother about this idea.

When He's mother heard this, she also thought it was a good thing for the people, so she agreed, "Do whatever you want, we all support you."

Then Luo Shu went to the village chief's house and told him about this.

The village chief's arms were sore from threshing wheat these days, but she had a lot of wheat and it would take her several days to thresh it. When she heard about this kind of trouble-free farm tool, she immediately decided to follow Luo Shu home to take a look.

When the village chief arrived at the backyard of their house, he saw that they were winnowing and drying wheat. He immediately decided that this tool would be useful.

"Xiao Luo, can you lend me this tool?"

"Sure, I was planning to popularize it, just try it in the village first."

The village chief looked around at the tool pulled by the ox with curiosity, and Luo Shu taught him how to use it.

At last, the village chief realized that the farm implement was actually pulled by an ox. He was a little surprised: "Xiao Luo, did your family buy another ox?!"

Luo Shu smiled but said nothing.
