Alpine Orchard - Chapter 110

[Chapter 110]

For Ye Mo, carrying millet is easier than threshing.

Ye Mo carried bags of millet back one after another.

“Xiaoye, after you finish carrying this bag, go home and take a shower.” Seeing Ye Mo coming again, the second uncle shouted.

“Okay.” The

millet is almost finished, and the millet in the field is threshed with a bag above the millet.

After Ye Mo carried the last trip, Lin Xiaolin spread out the drying mat and was drying the millet.

“Have you finished beating the millet?” Lin Xiaomian asked.

“It’s almost over.” Ye Mo threw down the millet: “Do you want me to help you?”

“No, you hurry up and take a shower, come over for dinner.” Lin Xiaolin said.

“Okay.” Ye Mo stretched his arms.

Threshing millet is more tiring than picking fruit.

It’s only been a morning of beating millet, and my body feels exhausted.

When I got home, I took a hot shower, washed the changed clothes, hung them to dry, and went back to my room to lie down for a while.

Xiaomian’s parents have come back.

“Xiaoye?” Yun Xiulan shouted, thinking that Ye Mo had fallen asleep.

Ye Mo sat up.

“Are you tired?” Lin Shan asked with a smile.

“One thing.” Ye Mo said, “When will the millet be harvested at home?”

“People from the threshing team will come to see it in the afternoon. If it’s cheap, they will hire someone to beat it.” Lin Shan said.

During this period of time, I was laying bricks in Changzhu Village, that is, this month… I have to rush to work, I have to work overtime every day, and I am very tired.

If it is possible to invite someone to come over, if it is not too expensive, then please hire someone to call.

There are more than three acres on their side. If they finish farming by themselves, let alone shed a layer of skin.

“Have you finished catching all the lobsters in the field?” Ye Mo asked.

“Not much. After the millet is finished, we’ll clean it up again.” Lin Shan walked in, handed Ye Mo a cigarette, and said, “It’s also the first year we have mixed rice and shrimp, and the output is lower than expected.” A lot.”

Ye Mo saw on the Internet that rice and shrimp are mixed, and generally, one mu can harvest 160-200 catties of crayfish. But the actual situation is not the case.

One hundred catties of crayfish can be harvested per mu, which is considered pretty good.

Fortunately, the price of crayfish is good this year.

When they came to Xiao Lin’s house, they had already dried the millet.

Lin Xiaomian was helping cook in the kitchen, when she heard her second aunt talking about Lin Xiaomian: “Your hair is dyed like a girl.”

“Don’t talk about me, I already knew I was wrong, and I will go to the city to have my hair dyed in the afternoon. Dye it back.”

“The hair color you dyed is really bad.”

“Second Aunt.” Ye Mo went in and shouted.

“Hey.” The second aunt responded, and came out of the kitchen: “Sit down, the meal will be ready soon.”

At noon, I stewed an old hen, stewed with yams.

There are also bacon and sausages, fried meat with lettuce, fried meat with soil bamboo shoots…

soil bamboo shoots, a kind of bamboo that only grows bamboo shoots in summer. The bamboo shoots are very bitter, they need to be boiled and then washed with water, and then used to stir-fry meat…

There are also fish caught last night, and a large pot of spicy crayfish.

After beating millet all morning, Ye Mo felt exhausted.

Sitting down, drinking beer and eating crayfish, I feel more comfortable than ever.

“You made this crayfish?” Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian.

Lin Xiaomian nodded, “Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious.” Ye Mo said, looking at her hair.

How to say, a bit uncomfortable.

With a little pink hair, Lin Xiaomian looks even more immature, her skin is pale, and she feels like a high school student.

Ye Mo still thinks that black hair looks good…

“When will you shoot your millet?” The second uncle looked at Lin Shan and asked.

“People from the threshing team will take a look later. If the price is right, they will pack it out for hunting. If it is too expensive, we will start working in the afternoon.” Lin Shan said.

“The threshing team costs four to five hundred yuan per acre of millet. It is estimated to be 500 yuan per mu on your side, which is not worth it.” The second uncle said, “It’s better to do it yourself. We will help you pluck it in the past. You can do it in two days.” Finish.”

“Let’s ask first. If 400 yuan can be negotiated, it will be given to the threshing team. We are also quite tired during this time…”

The millet on their side is growing very well, and the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties .

But the price of millet is cheap, only more than one yuan per catty. If it is for the threshing team, even if it costs 400 yuan per mu… that kind of millet will not make much money.

Here they use a harvester to harvest the millet, which costs about 130 yuan per mu.

In the mountains, there are mostly small pieces of farmland, and the harvesting cost of the harvester is also expensive.

At the same time, there are still a lot of farmland harvesters on their side that can’t get off, so they have to harvest by themselves, or hire someone to harvest…

After dinner, people from the threshing team came over and went to see the seedling fields.

The seedling field is right next to their house, but there is a lot of mud in the field. Harvesting this kind of seedling field will be very tiring.

The quotation is 480 yuan per mu, which is more than 3.4 mu in total.

The price is too high.

It is equivalent to giving half of the millet to the threshing team.

The millet is ripe and ready to be harvested.

After doing the math, it costs 1,600 yuan to harvest 3.4 mu of millet.

Under the persuasion of their second uncle, Lin Shan and the others decided to harvest by themselves.

After three o’clock in the afternoon, he went to the seedling field to cut millet and worked until after eight o’clock in the evening. Ye Mo was really exhausted.

…

Woke up the next day feeling pain all over my body. Thighs, calves, arms…the muscles in the lower abdomen all hurt.

Xiao Mian’s parents got up very early.

Ye Mo got up from the bed, they had already cut a good piece of millet.

More than three acres of millet were harvested in two and a half days.

Fortunately, there are second uncle and second aunt to help, otherwise I would have to work for two more days.

Ye Mo gritted his teeth and persevered throughout the whole process…

Lin Xiaomian helped serve tea and water, and caught lobsters in the fields.

After beating millet for only three days, Ye Mo felt his whole body go numb, and all his movements were like marionettes on strings. Muscles ache all over his body, his walking posture, his body is uncoordinated, and he has no strength…

This is the first time Ye Mo has threshed rice in a real sense.

In the past, I heard people say that threshing millet was very tiring. His family also planted millet when they were young, but that was when they were young… How much work could he do when he was young.

It is not an exaggeration at all that only those who have really threshed millet will truly understand “who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work”.

I have sweated more in these three days than in three months.

Xiao Mian’s parents are also very tired, but they seem particularly energetic and energetic. Ye Mo was much worse. After a few days, he felt that his whole body was going to waste…

It was tiring to thresh the millet, and it was also very hard to dry the millet.

There are tiny burrs on the millet, which are very itchy when they stick to the body.

After threshing the millet in the field, put away the sun-dried millet.

Lin Xiaomian made dinner with spicy crayfish.

After the second uncle came over, he took the wine from the refrigerator: “Xiao Ye, have a drink with the second uncle.”

“Okay.” Ye Mo smiled and sat down.

Lin Shan made it with the crayfish, sat next to Ye Mo, and looked at him with a smile: “Threshing millet, are you tired?”

“Tired,” Ye Mo said. I ‘m really tired…

“Hahahaha…” The second uncle smiled and opened the beer: “In the countryside, the most tiring thing is the time of millet threshing. If I want to be the son-in-law of our old Lin family, I will inevitably come to threshing millet every year from now on.”

“We will plant less millet in the future, just enough for ourselves to eat.” Second Aunt came over and said with a smile.

Lin Shan smiled and looked at Ye Mo: “It’s still easy on your side. You don’t plant millet, but fruit.”

“Growing fruit is not easy. And the busy time of farming is relatively long…but it is much easier than threshing millet. ” ” Ye Mo said, seeing his second uncle pouring wine for him, he quickly stood up: “I’ll do it myself.”

“Sit down, and I’ll pour it for you.”

“Where’s Xiao Lin?” Ye Mo saw that his second uncle had already given him a bowl After pouring the wine, he asked.

“I’m here.” Lin Xiaolin had already come, and was still in the living room. Hearing Ye Mo’s voice, he walked over with a smile: “Isn’t it easy to thresh millet?”

“It’s very easy.”

“Hahaha… I just After beating millet for a long time, I still feel sore.” Lin Xiaolin smiled and said, “If you are not tired, we will go fishing after dinner.”

“No.”
