Crossing the Stars: My Major General Husband and I Are Evenly Matched

It is the harvest season now. Song Yanyu and his friends followed the main group out only after they had harvested all the crops in their own fields.

So, not surprisingly, on this day, Yu Sui led the soldiers, women and children in a hovercraft to a golden land.

The areas around the base have been almost fully collected by everyone. At the meeting yesterday, Jing Xiao explained the situation and asked the four captains to lead everyone to spread out and search for supplies.

Now in this place on Mars, there are only people from Mercury, and they haven't seen any other team for almost half a month.

This wheat field was discovered by the soldiers while hunting today. Song Yanyu got off the hovercraft and took a look. It seemed that there was no end to it. She couldn't tell how much there was, but there were definitely a lot of it.

"Okay, everyone, stop standing around and start working. Let me make it clear that this wheat field was discovered by the army, so everyone has to hand over 40% of it. Of course, considering how difficult it is for everyone, the wheat you hand over can be unshelled."

As soon as Yu Sui finished speaking, some people expressed dissatisfaction, saying that the amount given was too much. These were all high-quality nutritious ingredients. Even though they were discovered by the army, people still felt the pain.

Yu Sui Ke was not willing to indulge them and interrupted everyone's whispers directly: "Those who don't want to pay, or those who are dissatisfied with paying too much, stand up now, and I will let the soldiers take you back."

The scene, which was filled with whispers and chaos just now, suddenly became quiet.

Yu Sui waited for a minute, and just when everyone was about to give up, he spoke again: "Since everyone has no objection, then it's settled. Let's get started."

In the interstellar age, most of the creatures that have not mutated are nutritious food, retaining their original nutrients and not being invaded by violent molecules, but at the same time, their growth is not optimistic.

Take the wild wheat discovered today, for example. This interstellar-era mutant yields 2,000 kilograms per mu, enough to feed and clothe humanity. However, it's just an ordinary food, devoid of any nutritional value, eaten simply to fill the stomach.

As for wheat, a high-quality nutritious food that has not mutated, or may mutate in another direction, an acre of land planted at home can only produce 300 kilograms with great effort, not to mention the wheat grown in the wild where no one is managing it.

If one acre of land could produce 100 kilograms, it would be amazing.

But no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, not to mention the benefits of high-quality ingredients to humans.

We are not fools.

In the interstellar age, not to mention the demand of those with special abilities for high-quality nutritious ingredients, even ordinary people need to eat some.

Ordinary food not only fills your stomach, but also contains some harmful substances. If you do not add some high-quality nutritious food to replenish energy for a long time, not only will your body deteriorate, but your life span will also be shortened.

Similarly, people with special abilities have a long lifespan, but ordinary people only live for a hundred years. Long-term consumption of high-quality nutritious ingredients can increase lifespan and prolong life.

Therefore, no one will give up. It’s just handing over 40%, so everyone still has 60% in their hands.

With so many here, most people know that it is the convenience given to them by the army. Otherwise, so many soldiers would not work as efficiently as them, or they would complain that there are too many nutritious ingredients.

Song Yanyu and Sun Piaopiao obviously also knew the value of wild wheat.

Without saying a word, he picked up the sickle and started working.

In fact, there were harvesters in this era, but they were all large, and most of them were used to harvest ordinary wheat and rice.

High-quality nutritious ingredients like this are not often grown in large quantities, let alone in the wild. No one would bring a large piece of iron with them when going out on a mission.

If the army had really arrived, these people wouldn't be standing here basking in the sun.

The most painful thing about harvesting wheat is not bending over, but the sun. When harvesting wheat, leaves will occasionally rub against your calves, arms, and even cheeks.

The leaves are sharp and will leave a red mark if you are not careful. It is itchy and painful. If sweat flows onto the red mark, it will be even more burning.

"Yanyu, you should take a rest first." Sun Piaopiao's face was also red and sweaty, but she was many years older than Song Yanyu after all. Although these tasks were hard, she could still handle them.

Song Yanyu was different. Before, all the heavy work at home was done by the three of them. Song Yanyu was a spoiled girl, and Song Ci and the others were reluctant to let her harvest wheat. They only let her pick up wheat ears in the fields when it was not hot.

The Song family has a small harvester. Except for places that the harvester cannot reach, most of the crops are harvested by machine. However, machine harvesting has a disadvantage. Many crops fall to the ground or are blown crooked by the wind and cannot be harvested. People have to search for them and grind them again. The most important thing is that machine harvesting will result in a lot of waste.

Nutritious ingredients are not easy to come by. Even if a few grains fall off, people will feel sad for half a day. Therefore, if there are hardworking men in the family, many families are still willing to harvest them manually.

Song Yanyu was also tired. After listening to her mother's words, she sat down on the open space beside her. At this moment, she didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. She just wanted to sit down and rest and drink some water.

"Mom, here, this is the boiled water I poured for you this morning. You can have some too." Song Yanyu took a kettle and handed it to his mother who was still working.

There were few people around who stopped to rest. Except for unmarried girls and children like her, most people were still working very hard.

Even today, ten thousand years later, humankind's tendency to take advantage of others has not changed.

There is such a large field of wheat, and you don’t have to work hard to take care of it. Now that it is ripe and time to pick the fruits, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t pick a few more.

Song Yanyu knew what was important and what was not. High-quality nutritious food was hard to come by, so after a short rest, she got up and went back to work.

Sun Piaopiao and the others had already harvested a lot of wheat, which was still spread out on the ground. Song Yanyu began to bundle it up in small piles.

This way it will be convenient to take it later.

Although the wheat looks like a lot, it cannot withstand the large number of people.

In the afternoon, before six o'clock, the entire wheat field had been harvested by everyone.

The soldiers who came also played a role by grouping the families together, and the wheat from each family was piled together.

After the soldiers collected about 40% of the wheat, they asked everyone to move their own wheat onto the military hovercraft bit by bit.

In this way, the hovercraft went back and forth several times and finally transported everyone's wheat back to the base.

Song Yanyu and her daughter were the second group to return.

As for the supplies, except for the high-level spiritual plants that everyone kept on themselves, the army sent several supply transport spacecraft, and each household was given a container, which had the function of constant temperature and preservation.

"I see that many families' material storage areas are full, so we may have to go back." Sun Piaopiao and Song Yanyu were on their way back to their residence.

"Yeah, I also feel like I need to go back. We've almost collected enough here. If I come back, we should change locations, and we won't be the only ones here from Mercury."
