The most important thing is that the corn is growing so well, how much can he keep secretly? Yes, Fangyuan has no intention of handing over all the harvested corn.

This piece of land is so fertile and grows so well. Although we cannot harvest 1,200, 300, or even 1,400 to 5,000 kilograms from one acre like later generations, we should have no problem harvesting 7 to 800 kilograms!

If this is the case, then about three hundred kilograms can be secretly kept in one acre of land.

In fact, even if it is only five hundred kilograms, it has already exceeded the task. You must know that the harvest in this era is not very good.

Because there is no chemical fertilizer, and most of it depends on the weather, one acre of wheat only weighs more than 100 kilograms, and at best it is only 200 to 300 kilograms.

After talking about corn, it is a little more, but four hundred catties is definitely very good, and five hundred catties is extremely rare.

If one acre of land here can harvest 800 jins, leaving 300 jins in a surrounding area is no problem at all.

In that case, Fangyuan could not only solve the food problem of his first team, but also secretly help the second team.

The reason why we say we can help secretly is because the second team still has a woman from the village helping them cook.

One acre of land contains 300 jins, and 50 acres equals 15,000 jins. There is basically no loss of cornmeal, and these 15,000 jins are enough to feed 100 people for three months.

The two teams combined have only thirty-one people, so they can eat for almost nine months. Of course, this is talking about the food obtained from consecutive points.

Besides, there is no need to eat for nine months. When the summer harvest comes, the wheat will fall and can be harvested again.

Moreover, their team also has white noodles provided by Fangyuan, so they can eat for a longer period of time.

After walking around and feeling that nothing happened, Fangyuan also turned around and went to the village. Of course, before leaving, Fangyuan also arranged his work.

The village is very busy now. Not only is the second team carrying water to water the fields, but the whole village is the same. It can be said that both adults and children are working together.

However, the village has built a canal, so you don't need to carry it that far. You only need to carry the water up from the pond, which saves a lot of time.

Unlike the second team, which had to pick a hundred meters, and the one hundred meters was the place closest to the ditch.

The area of ​​fifty acres of land is not small. The closest place to the ditch is one hundred meters, and the farthest place from the ditch is almost two hundred meters.

After walking around the village and seeing no one, Fangyuan turned around and went to the second team.

I haven’t seen the people from the second team for a while, but now I suddenly saw them, so that Fang Yuan didn’t dare to recognize them, and they all looked disgraced.

This is definitely not the case because of carrying water, but this is how they are.

"Fang Yuan, why are you here?" The captain of the second team asked awkwardly when he saw Fan Yuan.

You know, when the land was first allocated, he had to find a working group and negotiate hard to get the land.

Not because of anything else, but because this land is close to the water.

To be honest, if it weren't for Fangyuan, the team would have absolutely no way to survive. Just like now, if they carry water from 400 meters away to irrigate the ground, they don't even have to think about what will happen.

However, with Fangyuan's presence, not only the fertilizer problem was solved, but also the water problem was solved. It can be said that the fifty acres of land owned by Fangyuan and his team have become a hot commodity.

"Why, can't I come and see you?"

The captain of the second team is named Zhang Jianfeng. He is two or three years older than Fangyuan. He is from a local provincial capital, so he is considered unique here!

In any case, they and the working group are fellow villagers, right? Not only are they working groups, but they are also fellow villagers!

"That was not what I meant."

Early this morning, a team sent five people to help them carry water. Even if he had that intention, he would not say it out loud!

Fangyuan didn't pay much attention to him. Although he didn't like Zhang Jianfeng, he didn't have any grudges against the people in the second team.

"I said you're just watering the ground like this?" Fang Yuan frowned and said.

There was no way. The people in the second team didn't know how to work at all. They picked up the water and poured it directly into the ground. This way, the watering would never be finished.

"How can we water it if we don't do it this way?" Zhang Jianfeng frowned and asked.

Fangyuan glanced at Zhang Jianfeng, and then said to a girl who was carrying water: "Come, come here."

"Is something wrong?" the girl put down the bucket and wiped the sweat from her face.

"Give me the bucket."

The girl looked at Fangyuan and put down the pole. Fangyuan carried a bucket, walked to the field, and poured water directly on the corn roots.

Soon the bucket of water was finished, but this bucket of water actually watered nearly twenty corn plants.

"Have you seen how useful it is to pour water on the ground like this?"

"Uh!" Not only the girl, but also Zhang Jianfeng was stunned for a moment.

Fangyuan handed the bucket to the girl and said to Zhang Jianfeng: "Call everyone over."

"Oh! Okay." Zhang Jianfeng nodded, and then shouted: "Everyone, come here."

After a few minutes, everyone came over, including a team of people who came to help.

"You girls, come here."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the girls looked at me, and I looked at you, and then looked at Zhang Jianfeng.

Seeing Zhang Jianfeng nodding, several girls walked to Fangyuan.

"You guys go back and find some ladles. If you don't have ladles, you can use bowls. Come over and see how to get them." After finishing speaking, Fang Yuan came to the field carrying a bucket of water.

Several girls glanced at each other and then followed Fangyuan, including of course the male members of the second team.

They probably also wanted to see what Fangyuan was doing.

"If you water like this, one bucket of water can water at least twenty corn seedlings."

After Fangyuan finished speaking, he carried a bucket and watered the roots of the corn seedlings.

This is also a bit of a waste of water, but it is better than pouring it on the ground. This waste can be avoided. If you have a ladle or bowl, you can save one-third of the water.

But even so, Fangyuan still watered about twenty corn seedlings.

If this bucket of water were poured on the ground, it wouldn't even be able to water the five corn seedlings. The ground would be soaked, but it wouldn't be of much use.

Seeing Fangyuan watering the water like this, the eyes of the people in the second team lit up.

In fact, Fangyuan's watering method is also inspired by drip irrigation in later generations, which means targeted watering.

This saves water. Of course, it doesn't matter if the first team is not short of water. But if the second team is so short of water, then this must be done.

"You girls, please stop fetching water. They will fetch water, and you will be responsible for watering it, just like me."

"Ah! This..." Several girls didn't know what to say.

After all, Fangyuan is not from the second team, let alone the captain of the second team.

"Just do as the first captain said. There is a bowl for drinking water over there. Use it first. I will go find some ladles later." Zhang Jianfeng said at this time.

Because he also thinks that Fangyuan’s method is good. Also, seeing that the first team still has time to help them work, what does this mean? It means that the first team’s work has been completed.

"Okay Captain."

Several girls quickly ran over and brought over some drinking bowls, then each of them gave one to each of them, and then went to water the water with buckets.

Just watering the roots of corn seedlings, with a bucket of more than 40 kilograms of water, watering thirty seedlings is like playing, and the efficiency immediately increases six times.

Since there were six less girls to carry water, there were more buckets. The male team members carried the water over, then picked up two empty buckets and left.

"Fang Yuan, thank you!"

"You're welcome, I'm not doing it for you." Fangyuan glanced at Zhang Jianfeng and said.

"Uh!" Zhang Jianfeng touched his nose awkwardly.

"Aren't you going to fetch water?"

"Go, let's go now." After Zhang Jianfeng said, he picked up a pole from the ground and left carrying two buckets.

Fangyuan looked at this guy's back and shook his head.

With Fangyuan's method, the second team's efficiency increased. In less than an hour, a large area was poured.

According to this progress, we can water it again in five more days. As long as we keep watering continuously without stopping, the corn on this field will be able to grow in less than a month.

In the entire second team's field, there was only one person sitting under a tree at the edge of the field to enjoy the shade.

Fangyuan stayed for a while, felt that it was boring, and then left. Also, he was watching others working, and he was embarrassed to be different.

When she got home, Shen Yuping happened to be cooking. Fangyuan had nothing to do, so she was going to dig through the mushrooms drying in the yard.

This is a dish eaten in winter.

"Captain, let's do it!" Seeing Fangyuan turning over mushrooms, several girls ran over and said.

"It's okay, you can go and rest!" Fang Yuan said with a smile to the girls.

After working so hard for so many days, it's finally time to take a break, so let everyone have a good rest. He has nothing to do anyway.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not tired anymore." After Lin Wei said that, she squatted down and started turning.

Liu Surong and the others also hurriedly came up to help. There were so many people that it was easier to work. It didn't take them a long time to turn over everything.

These were picked in the last few times. The ones that were previously dried were now put in the cellar.

There were more people in Fangyuan and they dug through half of the mountain. You can imagine how much they collected.

Let’s put it this way! Even if you eat mushrooms three times a day, you can still eat them for two or three months. Of course, this is about stir-fry dishes.
