Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 242 Great Harvest
During this year, Mo Xiaonian also mastered a lot of knowledge about farming.
However, observing when the wheat can be harvested is a complicated matter, and it is not something that Mo Xiaonian, who dares to lead everyone to farm just by playing games, can master.
Fortunately, during this year, their tribe accepted many outsiders.
Bai Xing of the Baicha tribe is the oldest man in the tribe and a farmer with rich farming experience.
He is already 62 years old this year and is very old, so he doesn't follow these people to farm. He just helps each household to check if there are any problems with the crops, or if the crops have been harmed by any diseases or pests, and finds out how to solve the problem.
Mo Xiaonian and Yue Lu both respected him very much. Now seeing that the wheat ears had turned into a heavy golden color, Mo Xiaonian invited Bai Xing over.
"Grandpa Bai, can you see if we have harvested the wheat?"
Bai Xing twisted the wheat ears with his hands, plucked a few and put them in his mouth to chew. After a while, he finally said, "It's not good enough! It's not ready yet. It will be the best time to grow for another six or seven days. The yield will be the highest and the taste will be the best when harvested at that time.
But the wheat we planted in our fields is different from the ones I have seen before. The wheat ears are so mature, they must have a higher yield than the ones we planted before!"
Mo Xiaonian looked up at the sky.
The weather has been gloomy these past few days, and it's unclear when it will start to rain or how long it will last. If it rains when the wheat fields are about to be harvested, it would seem that it would have a significant impact on the harvest.
"Grandpa Bai, what if it rains when we are harvesting? If these ears of wheat are soaked by the heavy rain, it will definitely cause great losses, right?"
Bai Xing nodded.
"That's right. If there is a heavy rain, the wheat ears may fall over, which will affect the yield."
Mo Xiaonian felt a little worried, so he turned to Yuelu and asked, "Grandma, look at the gloomy sky, do you think it will rain when we harvest?
Our tribe has planted so much wheat this year, if it really rains heavily, it will have an impact on everyone."
Yue Lu didn't look worried at all. She patted Mo Xiaonian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiaonian. It won't rain! I promise it won't rain!"
Mo Xiaonian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Grandma, you are so smart that you can actually tell that it won't rain for a while?"
Yuelu was slightly stunned.
"Ah? I can't see it from that far away, but I can still see it in the last one or two days."
Mo Xiaonian's heart suddenly sank.
"Ah? That's still uncertain!"
"You can't say that. I will pray to the Moon Goddess. If she hears my prayers, she will definitely help us and not let it rain for a while."
The corners of Mo Xiaonian's mouth twitched. She really didn't expect that she could still rely on metaphysics for this.
But she had no other choice but to look at the sky anxiously every day, until Bai Xing came again, tasted the wheat ears, and then said with a smile that now was the best time to harvest. Only then did Mo Xiaonian feel relieved.
During the harvest season, all the people of the Moonfall Tribe came out to work. Even the soldiers stopped all their training and tasks and stayed at home to start the harvest.
It is no exaggeration to call that scene spectacular.
The large drying yard that was left open was of great use, as it was filled with grain.
Everyone was shocked that the seeds they planted in the spring would yield so much in the fall.
These are all food, good things they depend on for survival!
Mo Xiaonian was the first one to finish her housework.
After all, her family has three farmhands who specialize in farming, so no matter what they do, they are always one step faster than other families.
Although the harvest was a lot of grain, Mo Xiaonian did not plan to sell it.
It is much more cost-effective to take these grains into the space for fine processing and then exchange them for a large number of points than to sell them directly.
Mo Xiaonian never worried about having no place to sell the crops he grew, but the villagers were a little worried.
The harvested grain was so much that there was still a lot left over after providing enough food for the family for a year.
So after harvesting the grain, these people began to look for ways to sell it.
Fu Cang was also very surprised. After finishing the work at hand, he went to see Mo Xiaonian.
"Xiao Nian, why is our grain output so amazing? I have asked other experienced farmers, and the grain they planted before would never produce so much. The same land, the same seeds, this year's harvest is more than ten times what they harvested before. This is too scary!"
Mo Xiaonian really didn't know that the grain yield per mu in this era would be so low.
"The seeds I took out are good. If ordinary seeds were planted, the yield per mu would be the same as before."
Fu Cang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"No one thought that the seeds you gave would be so good. You are really the goddess of our tribe. Now the people in the tribe love you more than I do!"
Mo Xiaonian smiled and said, "Nonsense! If you hadn't protected our tribe, even if I grew a lot of food, it would just be fat meat in the eyes of others.
In fact, before the harvest, I was also unsure about what the results would be. Now it’s good that everyone is satisfied. With food in hand, everyone feels at ease and has a sense of belonging to our tribe and this land, which is more conducive to the rule of our tribe.
By the way, Fu Cang, we have been busy with the harvesting of food these days. How is the iron mine? Is the mining and refining of iron ore going smoothly?"
"It went smoothly. There are special soldiers in charge of the iron mine. However, Hu Mu told me a few days ago that the soldiers found several strangers wandering around the iron mine. I think this is a dangerous signal. Perhaps our discovery of iron ore in that mountain has been exposed."
"It's only a matter of time before something this big is exposed. I think you should take early action.
Iron ore is so important. If other tribes knew about it, they would come and rob it even at the cost of their lives. "
"I understand. I plan to go over there this afternoon and add another hundred soldiers there. I also plan to develop the area around the iron mine so that our barracks can be stationed there all year round.
Xiao Nian, I have an idea now. "
