Chapter 188 The Two Brothers Farming
"You should ask Dalang about this. He's using the seed drill."
"Auntie, I wanted to ask Dalang too, but look, in just a moment, Dalang has already walked away with the seed drill."
Old Mrs. Wang watched her two grandsons push the seed drill away, wiped the sweat from her face, and finally sat down to rest for a while. She kept praising the drill, saying, "This seed drill is really good. Normally, we'd have to work together: one to dig the hole, and the other to sow the seeds..."
Captain Dong was leading his men to inspect the spring planting. When he was urging his horse over, he happened to see the Wang brothers pushing the seed drill.
The eyes of a bunch of rough guys were wide open, and they were about to fall out of their eye sockets.
"Scholar, what is that?"
"I don't know."
"Aren't you a scholar?"
"I am a scholar, but above the scholar there are juren and jinshi, and they are all more knowledgeable than me."
"Yeah." Zhou Dasheng didn't bother Guo Xiucai anymore, so he went up to Captain Dong and asked, "Boss, what are those two kids pushing?"
"Let's go ask Lao Zhang."
Zhang Xiaoqi was sowing seeds in the fields with Guan Shi. When he saw Captain Dong and his men riding over, his eyes lit up. "Hey, since you're here, don't just sit around. Come down and help me with some work."
Captain Dong immediately agreed, tied his horse to a nearby tree, and went to help. While helping, he also kept busy, asking, "What are those two Daoxi brothers doing?"
"Da Lang and Xiao Lang are sowing seeds with a seed drill."
"planter?"
"Yes." Thinking of the benefits of the seed drill, Zhang Xiaoqi enumerated them like a treasure. "With that seed drill, one person can do the work of four people."
"so good?"
"Where did this good stuff come from?"
"It was done by Madam Jiang's husband."
"Oh my, all the talented people have gathered in one place. They are indeed the ones that Madam Jiang has chosen. They are different from us rough guys." Zhou Dasheng praised Madam Jiang and her husband, and his heart also flew to the seed drill. "Lao Zhang, can you fix the seed drill over here so that we brothers can have a look?"
"The Wang family is using that seed drill to sow seeds. I can't go over and disrupt them."
"Let's wait until the Wang family rests, or the Wang family has finished using it, then we'll see."
Zhang Xiaoqi: "Since we have to wait, we brothers can't just sit there and wait. Come on! Help us finish this piece of land."
"Alright! Brothers, go ahead!"
A group of strong men helped with the work, and Guan Shi withdrew, as she had to go home to boil water and cook. If they helped with the work, their family would have to provide them with food.
In the Wang family's fields, Wang Dalang plowed four ridges in one round trip. He was so happy that he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Wang Xiaolang followed his brother all the time and witnessed the convenience and ease of the seed drill from beginning to end.
When Wang Dalang saw the dense beads of sweat on the tip of his brother's nose, he felt a little sad.
"Xiao Lang, go over there and rest for a while. I can use this seed drill by myself."
"Brother, I'm not tired. I don't know why, but when I saw this seed drill, my heart brightened up."
"I feel the same way as you do. With this seed drill, I don't have to go to the fields anymore."
"Grandpa is going to Madam Jiang's house now to teach Dajun and the others. Grandpa is also happy."
"Yeah. I saw Grandpa come home yesterday and he was so happy he couldn't stop grinning. I asked him why he was so happy and he just said: He was happy for no reason."
"I'm happy too. I can tell you why. Grandpa is happy, grandma is happy, and I'm happy too."
"Uh-huh."
The voices of her two grandsons came from not far away, and Mrs. Wang's eyes became moist again.
Old Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She was not confused. She had to go back quickly to make lunch for her two grandsons.
Finally it was noon. The three members of the Wang family sat on the edge of the field to eat lunch, and Captain Dong also saw the seed drill he had been longing for.
"Hey, this thing looks pretty simple."
"Simple? If it's simple, you can make one for me."
"Lao Zhang, listen carefully. I'm talking about looking simple. Look~, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Zhang Xiaoqi looked at the seed drill and felt that he had nowhere to put his hands, so he wanted to put them on the seed drill.
But he thought that the Wang family’s land had not been fully planted yet, so he had to endure it.
Captain Dong didn't even want to eat lunch, so he dragged Scholar Guo around the seed drill, looking at it over and over again.
From time to time, he would ask, "Scholar, can you make this?"
Guo Xiucai curled his lips and said, "Boss, please don't make it difficult for me. Don't you see who in the Great Zhou Kingdom has made something like this before?"
"I'm just asking."
"Boss, you don't know that your question is equivalent to insulting the entire Great Zhou nation."
"Have it?"
"How come it's gone? Look, this seed drill was made by Madam Jiang's husband."
"What did he do?"
"Boss, don't forget that he was once known as the Paralytic of the Living Dead."
Captain Dong: "So we are all worse than a paralytic."
"You can't say that. You have to say that Madam Jiang has a keen eye for talent."
"That's right. Those two have been begging in Black Rock City for a long time. Others are blind and don't see them. What's worse, they even bully them."
"Yeah! Madam Jiang went to Black Rock City and picked that guy up like a treasure."
"It turns out that he is indeed a treasure."
Zhou Dasheng and Lao Wan were still holding their large earthenware bowls and eating non-stop, completely ignoring the endless chatter of the eldest brother and the scholar.
Wang Dalang finished his lunch quickly and went to push the seed drill without feeling tired.
Wang Xiaolang also reminded his brother, "Do you have enough seeds and rice?"
"Look, I've filled it up."
Captain Dong watched the two brothers push the seed drill away again and wanted to follow them. But after thinking it over, he decided not to catch up.
"Boss, this seed drill is really useful."
"Yes, a boy of twelve or thirteen can use it with ease. If all the land in Black Rock City uses this planter, the grain production in Black Rock City will double in no time."
The more Captain Dong thought about it, the more it itched he felt. Just as he was about to untie the horse's reins, he heard Zhang Xiaoqi's rather resentful voice say, "Boss, you'd better not report this to General Ming for the time being."
"Why can't you tell?"
"Our spring planting is still underway. If you tell General Ming about this, he'll have to come and make trouble for us again. Tell me, can we still farm properly? The year's plan depends on spring, and there are only a few days left for farming. If we are really delayed, our whole year will be ruined."
Captain Dong: He was speechless.
