Chapter 375 Relying on the sky and the ground (asking for a monthly ticket!)(1/2)
Fangyuan took the plow and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Not bad, this is exactly what I want."
"Hahaha! That's good." The blacksmith breathed a sigh of relief.
What are you most afraid of in blacksmithing? What you fear most is changing. Changing is more troublesome than striking again.
To be honest, the blacksmith's workmanship is very good, and at least Fangyuan is quite satisfied with it.
After returning the ticket the blacksmith had issued to him, Fangyuan left with four plows on his shoulders.
This is the kind of small plow that weighs only seven or eight kilograms and looks very compact.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Fangyuan walked directly back. When he was halfway there, Fangyuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he found a relatively hidden place and entered the space.
In the space, Fangyuan quickly made four small plows and then added ropes.
After all these are done, Fangyuan will have space and walk back again.
It took less than three hours to go back and forth, including the time spent wandering around the small market.
It was around ten o'clock when Fangyuan returned to the village's west end.
Seeing Fangyuan coming back carrying a few strange things, Shi Jianxin, Zhao Yang and the others quickly gathered around.
"Captain, what is this?"
"Want to know?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
"Okay, let you take a look." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan put the things on the ground, then picked up a handful and put them on the ground.
"Zhao Yang, Shi Jianxin, you two pull the rope."
"Uh!" The two people were stunned for a moment, but they still went over and picked up the two ropes.
"Pull it like this and put it on your shoulders. You won't be able to exert any force at all by pulling it like this."
"Oh!" The two guys nodded and put it on their shoulders.
"Pull!"
As soon as Fangyuan finished speaking, Shi Jianxin and Zhao Yang began to exert force. Fangyuan lifted the plow handle slightly, and the plow dug into the soil.
The soil was turned over in an instant. Although only a very narrow strand was turned out, in less than a minute, it turned out about twenty meters.
Don't look at just this strand of hair. If you were to dig it out, it would be impossible for three people to dig out so much in five minutes.
Seeing this, the eyes of several guys, including several girls, lit up.
Hu Yueming quickly ran over and picked up a plow and said to the two team members: "Come on, let's try it too."
The two team members hurriedly pulled the rope, but it seemed to be of no use. The plow just slid on the ground.
"Captain, no!" Hu Yueming said to Fang Yuan.
Fangyuan gave him a look and said, "Pick up the handle and let the tip of the plow sink into the soil."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Hu Yueming immediately lifted the plow handle, but he lifted it too high and the plow tip penetrated too deep into the soil, so the two team members could not pull it up at all.
Fangyuan patted his head and said, "I'm telling you, kid, are you stupid? Why are you so high?"
Hu Yueming scratched his head in embarrassment, quickly lifted the plow out of the soil, and then tried again.
This time he learned how to lift it just a little. When the tip of the plow was almost embedded in the soil, he quickly pressed the handle of the plow.
This time there was no problem, the two people pulled him and ran very fast, and the land was dug up.
"Hahaha! So that's how it's used." Hu Yueming said with a smile.
"Okay, there are tricks to using this thing. You should practice it first. Also, the eight of you are responsible for pulling it, and the plow handle will be handed over to Lin Wei and the others."
"Ah! No, captain!" Shi Jianxin wailed.
"What, are you still planning to let these girls fuck you?"
"Uh!" Shi Jianxin was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Then forget it."
"Let me tell you, when plowing, you should keep your plow close to each other, and don't move the plow here and there with the hammer."
"I understand, Captain."
"Captain, there are six of us, four plow handles, how do you arrange the other two?" Lin Wei asked at this time.
Fangyuan glanced at Lin Wei and said, "It's simple. It looks like we have picked up the stones, but in fact it is not the case. There must still be stones in the ground. During plowing, the remaining two are responsible for picking up the stones."
"Yeah, I got it."
"Okay, let's practice! Practice first and then start working in the afternoon."
"clear."
"Shen Yuping, wait a moment." Just when everyone was about to practice, Fangyuan shouted.
Shen Yuping was a girl in the team. She broke her shoes while picking up stones.
"team leader."
"This is for you." Fangyuan handed him a paper bag.
In this era, everything is basically wrapped in paper. Of course, the paper used varies depending on the item.
For example, meat is usually wrapped in oil paper, and if it is snacks or pastries, it is wrapped in kraft paper.
Shoes, fabrics, and some household items are all wrapped in a particularly thin gray paper.
"Captain, what is this?"
"open to take a look."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Shen Yuping quickly opened the paper package. When she saw a pair of Jiefang shoes inside, she said in surprise: "They are shoes."
"Yes, aren't your shoes torn? Try to see if they fit."
Shen Yuping's shoes were not only torn, but also completely torn, with a big hole in the glue underneath.
If it's just ordinary wear, you can still wear it if it's patched. Everyone present, including Fangyuan, has never worn patched shoes!
But although Shen Yuping's shoes were sewn, they really couldn't be worn because even the glue on the soles was sewn.
After the whole shoe was sewn, it shrunk by at least one-fifth. Not only did it squeeze my feet, but it also hurt my feet.
"Captain, thank you!"
"Thank you for nothing. No need."
"But Captain, your shoes..." Shen Yuping looked at Fang Yuan.
"I went to the street to get a plow, and I happened to meet a man who wanted to sell these shoes, so he sold them."
"Ah! How much? I'll give it to you later."
People like Fangyuan and others carry money with them when they come out, and they are still city dwellers after all.
"No need, I don't have much money."
"How about that? I'll give you the money later!"
"It's really not necessary. You should try it first to see if it suits you!"
"Yeah!" Shen Yuping nodded, then put on her shoes, took two steps and said, "Just right."
"That's good, okay, let's start practicing!"
Plowing is a skill. As long as you master this skill, it is actually very simple.
In about half an hour, a few girls mastered this technique, and then the group went back.
At this time, the second team had been busy for more than a week, but they had dug less than three acres of land in total.
If it is just plowing, sixteen people can plow an area of ten or eight acres in more than a week. However, picking up rocks while plowing is relatively slow.
It was already eleven o'clock when Fangyuan and the others returned to the team headquarters. They didn't rest anymore, they just washed up and then ate.
At this time, the people from the second team also came back. They were all ashen and dirty, covered with dust and sweat, and they looked like mud monkeys.
Although Fangyuan and the others did not sleep, they were almost rested. Each one of them had their lunch boxes ready to eat.
The people in the second team were different. After they came back, they all collapsed on the ground and seemed to have no strength to even stand up.
After eating, the second team set off again, while Fangyuan and his team were sleeping in the team headquarters.
For the next half month, Fangyuan would leave early and come home late every day, leaving all the work in the fields to the team members, but no one said anything.
Moreover, Fangyuan also appointed Zhao Yang as the deputy captain, responsible for leading everyone in their work.
The reason why no one said anything was mainly because Fangyuan went to get them food.
Fangyuan goes out for the whole day, but when he comes back, he will bring back a lot of food.
Most of the food I brought back was steamed buns, and sometimes I even brought back some meat.
Although it is not much, at least everyone can eat one more steamed bun every day. Don’t underestimate this steamed bun. For everyone, this is something that no one can even dream of.
It can be said that since Fangyuan went out, the people in the first team have never gone hungry.
