So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Plant the seeds in your hand on the ground in the space. Don't worry about it after planting. She doesn't eat young ones. She wants to try the taste of old melons.

Sui He waited for a few days until the melons in the space had grown larger and yellower, with some brown stripes on the surface. He picked a relatively large one.

When cut open, the fruit inside is already very full and big, about the size of a small Hami melon.

Suihe cut a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

I spit it out the next second. It tasted not sweet, but it tasted like raw winter melon, but not as soft as winter melon.

Sui He reluctantly threw the cut melon into the pigpen. Caigua, Caigua, is first a dish, and then a melon.

It seems that the pigs like to eat it. As soon as the cucumber was thrown in, the pigs came over after smelling the smell.

There are a lot of cucumbers growing in the space, but she doesn't like to eat them, so she can only cut them all and throw them into the pigpen to let the pigs help share the work.

The pig ate the food with relish, swallowing half of it in one gulp.

Sui He stood beside the pigpen and watched for a while, then put down the basket and left.

It seems that this cucumber cannot replace watermelon.

This summer passed slowly with the sorrow of no watermelon in the fields. The rice in the paddy fields began to change color and hung heavily in the fields.

The villagers of Qingshan Village have to guard the fields every day, firstly to prevent wild animals from destroying the crops, and secondly, they feel happy watching the rice mature.

The villagers of Qingshan Village were also very smart. They knew the extraordinary nature of the rice, so they kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone.

It’s not that they don’t think about others, but this is only the first batch this year, and they don’t have enough to eat, so how can they share it?

Large tracts of rice began to turn yellow, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger. Suihe and her family set out before dawn to harvest the rice and dry it early.

The weather will dry up in a day or two.

It is not just the Suihe family who have this idea, but also other people in the village. These farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood, and they know that the sun will be very good in the next few days.

Start harvesting food

The rice harvesters harvest rice, the strong ones take the seedlings and beat them, throwing the rice grains on the rice ears into the mixing bucket. Harvesting rice is a big event.

Everyone in the family who can move will go to the fields, but there is fish in the fields and some water remains in the fields, so it is not easy to walk.

You have to walk carefully after entering the field, otherwise the cut rice stubble will prick your feet.

The people in Qingshan Village got up early. By daybreak, more than half of the rice in the fields had been harvested. The whole field was busy with work.

A horse-drawn carriage was driving slowly on the road of Qingshan Village, followed by several grain carts.

The villagers near the road put down their things and looked at the grain carts curiously.

When the familiar people got off the carriage, the villagers exclaimed in surprise.

Village Chief Zhao's fields were far from them, so some of them set out to look for him.

The reason was that the person who got off the car was the county magistrate of Yingcheng.

There were several yamen runners following behind.

"I pay my respects to you, my Lord." The villagers on the roadside hurriedly went ashore and knelt down before the county magistrate.

"Everyone, get up. Don't worry about me. Go get busy." The county magistrate waved his hand.

"Yes." After receiving the order from the county magistrate, the villagers who were kneeling on the ground stood up and returned to the fields. The busy farming season does not wait for anyone, and they have to harvest the rice as soon as possible.

However, with the county magistrate watching on the shore, they began to act cautiously, fearing that they might accidentally anger the county magistrate.

For a while, the whole Qingshan Village was filled with the sound of rice being thrashed.

Although the county magistrate had received the news a long time ago, he was still a little shocked when he saw this scene. The output was too high.

The yamen runners behind him also looked at the baskets of rice in disbelief. These yamen runners were all from the village, and their families more or less had fields.

This was the first time they had seen such a high yield of rice. No wonder the county magistrate had beaten them and told them to shut up when they came out.

Village Chief Zhao received the news and ran towards the county magistrate in a hurry.

After paying respect to the county magistrate, several people began to chat.

The other villagers were far away and didn't hear what they said. They looked over there and saw that Village Chief Zhao had a strange look on his face, with an expression of disbelief.

Then Village Chief Zhao nodded and led them to the village's grain drying field.

Not long after, Village Chief Zhao, who had settled the county magistrate, ran over here and told the villagers why the county magistrate was here today.

It turns out that the grain will be harvested early this year. The villagers working in the fields are shocked.

In previous years, everyone dried the grain and took it to the town and county government. I haven't heard of anyone coming to the village to collect it. There is still no dried grain.

How can this not be shocking?

Of course, this has nothing to do with the people who settled in Qingshan Village later, but the county magistrate also said that if they have surplus grain at home, they will also collect it, and those who want to sell the grain for money can sell it to their officials first.

"Village Chief, why did the government come to collect grain so early today?" A villager asked Village Chief Zhao.

"I heard that the government thinks the grains from our Qingshan Village are good and wants to use them for seeding, so they come here early to collect them and dry them before sending them to other places." Village Chief Zhao didn't know why, but he knew that wet grain was heavier than dry grain. If the county magistrate collected them, how much would he lose?

"However, the county magistrate said that they only accept wet grain, rice. If you bring other things, you have to pay according to the rules of previous years."

Taxes can be paid with other grains, such as sorghum, in order to prevent the villagers of Qingshan Village from paying taxes with other grains.

This year, the county magistrate came to collect the crops early, which was also approved by the higher authorities.

Hearing this, the villagers started talking about it.

Some people say that it is better to deliver wet rice, as wet rice has more moisture and is fuller, so they can deliver less.

Some said they would still use sorghum or something like that. The rice can be dried and sold for a few more coins.

Some people are worried that the government will lower the price. Wet food is different from dry food, so the price is uncertain.

The husband said he was right, the wife said she was right, and everyone started to discuss it.

Village Chief Zhao saw this and said loudly, "Don't worry, the government said they will buy it at the market price and won't treat us unfairly."

"How can they dry so much grain after taking it away?" Another part of the people considered more. If the harvested grain is not piled together in time, it will easily sprout.

If the crops they have worked so hard to grow sprout, they will be heartbroken.

"What are you afraid of? This county government office is very big. Are you afraid that there is no place to dry the sun?" Someone said. They had seen it before when they paid grain.

Besides, there are dozens of villages around Yingcheng, with so much food. If the space is too small, the food cannot be stored.

And even if the grain is collected, they will turn it out and continue to dry it after a while, so there is no need to worry about the location.

What they are worried about now is whether it is cost-effective to deliver rice.
