Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 16

Helping is something that one should do and it is something that one should do. Helping is something that one does and it brings out one's bad habits.

If one day they no longer make selfless contributions, it would be a hornet's nest.

They are here to survive, not to do charity.

Only by using both kindness and severity can we fundamentally grasp the right to speak in the future.

The appearance of the harvester is just the first step.

But now, after hearing what Jiang Xiubai said, Jiang Yipei's words seemed to be false politeness.

"Uncle Pei, please say something!"

Jiang Yipei: "..." What am I saying? Just let you finish the conversation.

Seeing that Jiang Yipei and his parents were silent, Jiang Xiubai ignored the strange looks they gave him and waved his hand, "I'm in charge. I'll give you 25 cents for harvesting one acre of land. We used to pay 20 cents per acre for temporary workers. I'll give you 5 cents more. And I don't need you to send anyone. I'll drive the harvester myself. What do you think?"

In this day and age, a strong laborer could earn between twenty and thirty cents a day for hard labor, depending on the type of work he did. Harvesting rice is a time-sensitive job, so in order to prevent short-term workers from slacking off, wages are settled on a per-acre basis.

But for a quick and efficient laborer, earning thirty or forty cents a day is not a problem.

Jiang Yida and Liu did not comment on their son's decision because they thought it was reasonable.

By spending a few more cents per acre, you can harvest the rice that would take four temporary workers twelve days to harvest in one day, without the hassle of drying it out afterward.

Who can tell for sure what happens in God’s family?

If the rainstorm came early, they would only be able to harvest the rice even if they could hire temporary workers, and it would be too late to dry all the rice.

Make a fortune.

"Twenty-five cents an acre?"

“It’s not too expensive!”

"Whether it's expensive or not is secondary. The key is that there's no need to thresh or dry the grains, which saves a lot of trouble! I'm willing to spend the money. I just sprained my back while threshing. The price of the wine for traumatic injury is much higher than this!"

"That makes sense!"

"I don't want to!"

"Isn't this expensive? My family's 40 mu of land costs one hundred yuan! What can't I do with one ounce of silver?"

"That's right! We are the ones who make a living in the fields. Why do we ask the harvesters to do the work in the fields? What are we doing? We are wasting a tael of silver."

"You see, the harvester is going to roll over the rice. The big one in the front is like our sickle, so big and clumsy, how can it harvest the rice well? It just goes by with a click. The sound makes me sad. How much food will be wasted! I won't do it."

"No! I saw that the field was very clean, and there was not even a fallen ear of corn."

"Are you blind? Isn't that right!"

"Didn't Xiaobai's father say that this piece of land would only produce three dan of rice after drying. It's not less! From what he said, it seems like there's even more!"

"How could that be possible! There isn't that much rice in the field, so how can a harvester be conjured up for you? I think the field is well taken care of, so the yield is high this year!"

"Let's go, let's go. In the time it took to watch the fun, we've already finished mowing both crops."

When Jiang Xiubai was driving the harvester and deliberately making a roaring sound to cut the rice, many people gathered in the fields. They looked at it twice out of curiosity. The powerful functions shocked the ordinary people who had never seen the world. But people from ordinary families, when they heard that it cost money, immediately listed the shortcomings of the winnowing basket and convinced themselves to give up.
