Chapter 35 Plowing the Ground
"Woof woof woof." Wangcai ran towards home.
"Grandpa's fields are dry, we can plow them now."
Early in the morning, Sumu took Wangcai out for a walk and saw that the land in the fields was already dry.
"Okay, let's plow the land first today."
Su Dahong took out the plow and drove the oxen to the field. When there were no oxen, either donkeys or human labor were used to cultivate the land. Now with oxen, it is much easier.
When he got to the field, Sumu tried to drive the ox to plow the field, but found it was very difficult and required some skills. No wonder people plowed the field so long in advance.
"Mumu, let us plow." The second brother Su Zhiwu took over the plow.
It seems that I am not cut out for plowing the land!
And this is a farm tool for plowing the land, and it’s a straight-beam plow.
Su Mu was puzzled, "Grandpa, don't we have a curved plow?"
"Curved plow, what is that?"
"That's it. The most obvious thing is that the plow shaft is curved." Su Mu gestured with his hands.
Su Dingguo thought about it and realized that he really seemed to have never seen it before.
"No, I haven't seen those plows. We have straight plows here, which are very convenient. In the past, we had to plow the land manually, which was very laborious."
"Mumu, is the plow you mentioned also easy to use?"
"It's very useful! The curved plow is more useful than this straight plow."
In my impression, I have always used this kind of curved-beam plow, which is much easier to use than a straight-beam plow and saves more time and effort.
Su Dingguo became interested, "Can we try to make it ourselves like Gu Fengji?"
"It seems a bit difficult. The other parts can be made, but this plowshare needs iron."
When Su Dingguo heard that iron was needed, he understood, but iron was something that could not be obtained privately.
Su Dingguo fanned himself with a large palm leaf fan. "It would be nice if I could make it myself. The curved plow you mentioned would definitely be more useful."
"We can make the valley windmill, but it's hard for us to make this curved plow without iron."
The light bulb in Su Mu's head lit up. That's right! His own windmill was made in cooperation with Ji Shiyan. Can this curved plow be made in cooperation with Shiyan?
I don’t know if he could get iron. If he had iron, he could have made a curved plow.
With this curved plow, tilling the land is more time-saving, labor-saving and convenient. It is not noticeable on the few acres of land at home now.
But now that I have my own system, I will definitely not have so much land in the future, and I will definitely expand the planting area.
By then, people won’t be exhausted from using the straight-beam plow. Once the curved-beam plow is made, people’s lives will be better.
People have money now, and at a minimum, the market for the things they sell will be bigger. Otherwise, no one would buy things if they have no money.
In a broader sense, this is also a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and adds merit to oneself. If you have the ability and it is not troublesome, why not do it? The common prosperity of the people is the kingly way.
The more Su Mu thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Looking at Su Mu like this, Su Dingguo knew that Su Mu had an idea.
"Grandpa, I'll go see Shi Yan when I have time, and I'll go see Jiang Xiaoman while I'm at it."
"Okay, got it."
It was time for dinner, "Grandpa, I'll go home and cook for you and bring it to you later."
"Don't worry, go back. We can just take turns to work on this little piece of land."
Plowing the land is hard work, so let's eat some solid dishes today.
Let’s have some braised pork belly. The pork belly is very beautiful and has three standard layers.
Cut the pork into large pieces, it is more enjoyable to eat them.
First blanch the water, then put sugar in the pot and stir-fry to make sugar color.
Put large pieces of pork into a pan and stir-fry until the oil comes out. Add wild onions, ginger, aniseed, bay leaves, and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Add light soy sauce and boiling water and stew.
There is braised pork in the pot over here. What kind of dish are they making? Look, there are only a few corns left in the space. Eat them all. The corns in the field are almost ready to eat.
Let’s make a corn and pork ribs soup. The ribs should also be blanched, fried slightly in a pot, then pour in boiling water and stew with corn.
Add some stir-fried meat and Qianlong cabbage.
Although Qianlong cabbage sounds nice, it is actually cabbage mixed with sesame sauce.
The cold noodles at home are also served cold, my dad loves to eat this. Cut a braised pig ear.
Served with a pot of rice, it's a perfect meal.
Braised pork, corn stewed pork ribs soup, stir-fried meat, mixed cold noodles, cold pig ears, plus a few vegetarian dishes.
Su Mu divided the dishes into two portions, one for his family and he put the other portion in a large food box.
Carrying two extra-large food boxes to the fields, the villagers passing by greeted Sumu and glanced at the food boxes.
Looking at several people who were tired and sweating, "Grandpa, Dad, brother, come and eat."
"Okay!" Hearing that it was time for dinner, several people put down their plows and came over.
Su Mu opened the food box and brought out large bowls of dishes one by one. The dishes were all served in super large bowls, and it was easy for them to spill when they were served on plates.
As soon as the dish was served, the fragrance began to waft, and the aroma went straight into people's noses.
Take a big bowl and fill it with white rice. Take a bite of rice and a bite of braised pork. How happy you are.
"This braised pork is so delicious, soft and glutinous. It is fat but not greasy. It is a blessing to eat one bite."
"And this pork rib soup, the sweetness of the soup is the aroma of corn."
After eating the braised pork, you can mix the soup from the braised pork with rice and eat another big bowl of it.
"This braised pork is so delicious. Can I eat it tomorrow, little sister?" Su An held the bowl with tears in her eyes.
“Okay, Third Brother, if you still want to eat, I’ll make it for you.
How old is the third brother? A 15 or 16-year-old child has to do all kinds of work every day, and he can be so moved by eating a bite of braised pork.
"Oh, okay!" Su An happily finished another bowl of rice.
Su Mu watched everyone eating and went over to feed the cows some water and some grass.
"Moo~" The cow rubbed Su Mu again.
Su Mu touched the cow's head and said, "Work hard. When the corn is ripe, I will give you all the dried corn as feed."
Look at the corn growing in the field next to it. It’s almost ready to be grafted.
Su Mu walked into the cornfield and pulled at the corn leaves to prevent himself from getting scratched. Pulling the corn leaves hurts.
Some of the corn stalks that are not growing well and are crowded together can be pulled out directly instead of competing for nutrients with other corns.
Sumu came out of the cornfield holding a few corns.
I saw that grandpa, dad, second brother and third brother had finished their meal. The bowls were as clean as if they had been washed clean.
"Little sister, is that corn you are holding?"
"Yes, this is the thin corn without the scion. Pulling it out will save it from taking away nutrients."
Su Mu peeled the leaves off the corn stalks, wiped the corn stalks, and gave one to each person.
“Try it, this thing is edible, it’s sweet.
“You can eat this, too!”
Su Mu also held a corn stalk and chewed it.
"Yes, it has some sweetness from corn and some juice, like sugar cane."
Seeing that Su Mu was enjoying the food, several people also put some in their mouths and chewed it, "Indeed, it is! Very sweet."
After eating, they continued to work.
Sumu walked along the ridge of the field carrying a clean food box.
There are cicadas chirping in my ears, people working in the farmland in the distance, the breeze brings a hint of freshness, and the flowers on the roadside are blooming wildly.
