Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 143: High Food Yields from Working in Space
Jia Lezhi went to light a fire and cook corn in a large pot in the yard. Chai Zhen saw it and said, "Cook more. Everyone can have one." "Okay, Grandpa. I'll go break some more." Little Milk Bag said, "Great Grandpa, let's sell some boiled corn today. People will buy it!" Chai Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Guoguo, maybe next year? We'll plant it in the greenhouse. We'll have a source of income." Guoguo understood immediately. "Guoguo, listen to Great Grandpa and sell it next year." The crops on the red soil were ripe and ready for harvest. Chai Zhen was astonished at the ninety acres of wheat. The ears were big and the grains were plump. Just imagine the yield! Haha. "Guoguo, Great Grandpa, it's time to harvest the crops on the red soil." "Yes! Let's do it then." Guoguo took out large sacks, and soon had five hundred of them. Each sack could hold one hundred and eighty kilograms. Guoguo used the remote control to command the harvester to harvest the wheat. Chai Zhen found hemp rope and threaded a needle to sew the sacks.
The rumbling sound of machines filled the air, and every time they went to the fields, they had to unload the grain. There was so much! Jiale and Chai Zhen carried the bags. The machines harvested the crops, and Chai Zhen sewed the bags. After Jiale finished cooking the corn, he came to help sew the bags. Sixty acres of land. Jiale looked at the harvester and said, "If a person had to harvest the wheat, how long would it take? New machines are better." Chai Zhen: "I heard Guoguo say that in her previous life, it was an advanced era. The land was harvested and sown with machines like this. Plowing was no longer done by human labor. Families could cultivate thousands of acres of land. There were even flying vehicles, called airplanes, that could travel thousands of miles a day. It was a high-tech era. Our Guoguo is no ordinary person." Jiale: "Guoguo is a fairy." Chai Zhen said seriously: "Guoguo is not a fairy, but an ordinary person with special abilities. Jiale can't say a word outside!"
Jiale: "I know, Grandpa." A moment later, another trip. Chai Zhen: "Packaging." Little Milk Bag: "Oh, how slow." Jiale: "That's even slower!"
"Boom boom boom..." The machine started moving. Trip after trip... After four hours of work, the harvest was finally complete. Guoguo drove the machine back to its original spot and sat down on the ground, motionless. Just standing for four hours would be tiring, let alone worrying about operating the machine. Jiale fished out a corn and handed it to Guoguo, "Eat." Guoguo couldn't even lift her hands. Jiale fed her. Haha... Jiale laughed at her.
Hey, just eat it yourself, no need to make any more noise. It's fragrant, sweet, tender and delicious.
Chai Zhen was busy sewing bags, and Jia Le hurried to help! The three of them were so busy that they had no time to rest. There were too many sacks. At first, 500 were not enough, so they took out 1,000. It was still not enough, so they took out another 1,000, and finally they took out 2,500 sacks. Little Milk Bag ate his fill and drank some water, so he had the strength. After all the bags were filled, Guo Guo counted the remaining sacks and found that there were still more than 400. "Grandpa, the sacks cost a lot of money. Let's weave them ourselves." Chai Zhen: "Talk to your grandma later and see if you can do it." Guo Guo said: "I'm eager to learn. One sack costs five yuan." Chai Zhen: "How much is five yuan?" Little Milk Bag: "Five cents. One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand yuan." Chai Zhen: "So one sack costs five cents, it's so expensive." "Grandpa, this is still the cheap factory price. The takeaway price is ten yuan each. It's ours, and they don't make extra money from us. Everything is expensive."
Everything was expensive in those days. Chai Zhen learned to weave. He sewed some bags, stacked the fruit, and saved them for seeds. "Grandpa doesn't sew anymore," he said, putting their needles away in a drawer inside.
Guoguo turned on the flour mill, while Jiale and Chai Zhen carried the flour and poured it into the warehouse to grind flour. The flour was ground automatically. The two of them just poured it. The machine automatically filled the bags and sealed them. Little Milk Bag just waved his hand and the flour bags were placed. Chai Zhen calculated the number. Even if there were two thousand bags, that would be 360,000 kilograms of grain. This calculation was shocking. One acre of land is equivalent to 6,000 kilograms of grain. Chai Zhen couldn't sit still and said, "Guoguo, Grandpa calculated that one acre of land is equivalent to 6,000 kilograms of grain. Let's not grind it into flour, but keep it for seeds. Great Grandpa thought that the land outside could not produce so much grain, but it would definitely be high-yielding. Let's keep it for seeds! Little Milk Bag: "Okay. Then we won't grind flour. Just grind the flour in the warehouse." Jiale and Chai Zhen picked up the needle and thread and continued to sew.
Guoguo lay on the ground to rest with his eyes closed.
Jiale: "Guoguo works a lot in here every day." Chai Zhen: "That's right. She's so young, and I feel bad for her. Do you know why Grandpa always holds her? Grandpa wants her to rest." Jiale: "Only a grandson would understand." Jiale went to get a cornmeal for Gouzi, who ate it and nestled next to Guoguo.
Jiale: "Grandpa, how about we try this white flour today?" "Sure, it doesn't matter what you eat." "Let's see what the red soil produces." Jiale: "Sixty acres of red soil. Thirty acres of black soil, and thirty acres of yellow soil. Without realizing it, we've acquired so much land. Our family can eat for years without touching anything." I still remember when I was little, I cried because I wasn't full, and my father beat me. Chai Zhen: "You're not a child anymore. It's time to find a wife."
Jiale: "What the hell is that? I'm not that old yet. I'll only be nineteen after the Chinese New Year. I'm not that old. I'll tell you when I meet someone. But I haven't met him yet!" "Huh, you're right. You're the only one left."
I'm tired of working. Chai Zhen: "Take a break and have some corn. I smell it." Jia Le brought two, one for each of them. Chai Zhen took a bite. It was sweet and delicious. Really delicious.
"Awoo..." Jiale jumped up in fear, "Grandpa, what is this?" Chai Zhen looked at Jiale, "Let's go get the corn, it's cooked, take more!" Jiale followed Chai Zhen up the mountain, "Ah, Grandpa, run,..." Chai Zhen: "Don't panic, give me the corn, it must have smelled the cooked corn." Chai Zhen threw it over, the tiger caught it, and gave it to the little tiger to eat. He turned around and opened his mouth wide. Chai Zhen threw another one over, the tiger caught it and chewed it himself. Seeing that the two seemed to say it was delicious, he gave it more. Chai Zhen put down all the corn in his hand, put it on the bluestone mountain, and left. "Tigers don't go down the mountain. I heard from Guoguo that animals have their own range of activities, which is their territory." Chai Zhen went down the mountain.
He asked Jiale to pick some vegetables with him because they were going to sell them today. He asked for empty baskets. There were cucumbers, beans, green peppers, eggplant, pumpkin, carrots, white radish, water spinach, spinach, green onions, ginger, garlic, and so on. "Hurry up and pick them."
The fruits on the tree are ripe. Chai Zhen stood up tired and stretched his waist. Seeing the fruits, he said, "It's time to pick them. I didn't realize that Guoguo has planted so many fruits." Jiale: "Grandpa, what kind of person is Guoguo? Is he a fairy?" Chai Zhen: "Not a fairy, just like you, a human, an ordinary person, but with a space. He has some magical powers. God blesses our Chai family." Jiale! Speechless. Jiale has seen Guoguo's eyes, which are black and bright, and the big eyes like grapes are like a vortex, attracting people. Whoever meets Guoguo's eyes will be attracted. The blessing of the fourth brother in his previous life. Jiale often looks at
Guoguo's eyes. "Get back to work." Jiale came back to his senses.
"Time to go out," the little kid woke up, feeling refreshed after drinking the spiritual spring water. A soft, sticky voice rang out, "Grandpa, it's time to go out," and with that, Chai Zhen and Jia Le appeared in Chai Zhen's room. Day had dawned. Their hands were covered in mud. They looked at each other, bursting into laughter, and went out to wash their hands. Old Lady Li saw them, but she didn't say anything and just poured them some hot water.
Jiale told Guoguo he wanted to eat some white flour today. Guoguo changed into cotton clothes and went out to the warehouse to get a large amount of white flour. Guoguo then went to the greenhouse vegetables, watering them with the spiritual spring water. "They're growing beautifully! They're just different." Guoguo went back to the kitchen and filled the water jar with the spiritual spring water. "Grandma, drink this one," she said. "Grandma, I understand." They filled both jars. They washed their hands with the water outside.
Old Lady Li finished cooking and went out. Li Ru, Wang Min, and Xiaojuan were all up, and they cooked. Over two hundred people ate. Three large pots of porridge were boiling outside the kitchen. Pancakes were being made, and steamed buns were being cooked. The chickens would be fed later. They woke up early and started working.
Sun Gui came to Chai Zhen's house early in the morning and said, "We'll go to the county later. Let's go together." He hurried away. Li Dafa also came and ate with Chai Zhen's family and He Jiale. They had to go to the county to sell things today. They ate first.
After a while, the horses were well fed, harnessed to the carts, and they returned home to load the carts and the storehouse with grain. Chai Zhen said, "Just load the flour. Put more vegetables." After the three carts were filled, the group set off.
At the village entrance, Sun Gui was waiting, sitting nearby and saying, "Buy prizes for the children." Chai Zhen held Guoguo, while Li Dafa's family, He Jiale, drove the cart. Li Dafa was missing two fingers on his left hand, but it didn't affect his work. His injuries weren't serious, but he struggled with his sword and left the battlefield. The impoverished Yan State soldiers who had retired didn't receive much money, but General Ma was kind enough to give them several dozen taels of silver and an extra twenty carriages. He figured they could live comfortably with the carriages. This was considered caring.
