Everyone was very satisfied with Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting. Although this was a job assigned by the superiors and they said they didn't care about the job, their performance made everyone happy.
They are all good at work. At the end of the day, half of the corn was cut. The fifty acres of land harvested 40,000 jins, which is equivalent to 800 jins per acre. After excluding water and cob bones, there are also 400 jins.
Yield of eighty kilograms.
Ma Changshun was shocked when he saw this data. Even in good years, good land only produced more than 300 kilograms, which means that in this drought year, they increased production by more than 100 kilograms.
"Girl, how do you grow this corn?"
"Captain Ma, we are taking care of you as usual."
It’s really hard to say what Ma Changshun said. That’s how people take care of them.
The workers have long known that the corn cobs they break off are larger than those in previous years.
But I was quite envious when I heard that the yield per mu of land can reach more than 400 kilograms.
The corn stalks are dug out directly with a small pick and stacked in the ground. That is, they can be tied up after waiting to dry for a few days.
Neither of them were tired today. In the evening, Su Yuanyuan made three kinds of food: sweet potato noodles, sorghum noodles and corn noodles.
She put in a lot of yeast. I don't know if it will ferment tomorrow, but it will taste better than hard ones.
The next day, another fifty acres of land were also cleared. Su Yuanyuan left 10,000 kilograms of corn this time, and Tan Shaoting was responsible for transporting it to the yard.
Originally, the two of them didn't want to leave too much for themselves, but Ma Changshun had to know how to count. In the end, it was just that the corn stalks were not finished.
Ma Changshun means that we will still work on the corn field tomorrow. In this year's weather, we will just tie up the corn stalks.
In fact, Ma Changshun thought it would be awkward to wait until everything was collected and then use others to help bundle them.
Everyone listens to the leadership's arrangements, so they do whatever they tell them to do tomorrow.
The corn stalks were used for two days and were piled on the ground not far from the house.
In the past four days, a lot of food was consumed in space. There was no other way but to eat with multiple people.
This will take several days to complete, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are tasks that cannot be rushed, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are damaged.
On the first day, everyone cut sweet potato seedlings. Su Yuanyuan kept half of it. After all, she still had two donkeys and a sheep to eat. The rest was transported to the field.
The next day, Feng Baoshan directly sent five trucks to haul sweet potatoes.
The yield is also very high, with the sweet potato yield reaching 500 kilograms per mu. Moreover, the sweet potatoes are very uniform in size.
Su Yuanyuan has already discussed it with Tan Shaoting. They left four thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.
It took two days to dig out the sweet potato field. It also took two days to dig out the potatoes. The two of them left two thousand kilograms of potatoes and sent them to the field department along with the seedlings.
Feng Baoshan specially recruited 20 people to come and store it in the warehouse.
In fact, he also knew that these would not be stored in the warehouse for too long. Some would have to be sent to the boss and some would be sold to each household.
By October, the two of them had harvested grain from their 200 acres of land.
The yield of soybeans is average, which is 210 kilograms per acre. That is more than 2,000 kilograms, and the two of them kept 500 kilograms.
In the end, the two people who were present received 4,746 yuan. They opened up twelve acres of land, and each of them was given a reward of 60 yuan. Because they won the first place, each of them was rewarded another 50 yuan.
dollars.
A total of 4,966 yuan was obtained. Each person received 2,483 yuan.
There is no one in the Second Farm who does not envy them. Last year, they only earned 600 yuan from 100 acres of land, and they still worked as a family.
The family's two and a half-year-old children actually earned nearly five times that amount, and this was during a severe drought year.
Tan Shaoting was driving and talking to Ma Changshun.
"Team Leader Ma, actually we didn't earn that much. We used five bundles of mulch film. We also spent a lot of money on corn seeds."
"That's also very good. But it's all earned through your hard work."
"Haha, the two of us are going to the fertilizer factory to try it out in the next two days. If we can get fertilizer, I think everyone can make more money."
"Then we'll be waiting for your good news at home."
"Well, I will definitely try my best, even if it means spending some money privately.
Team Leader Ma, a friend of mine came to stay at my house. He helps take care of the animals."
Ma Changshun nodded, the farm didn't care about this.
"Team Leader Ma, because so many people are helping us, the two of us have to go out again and can't work for the big guys. So we plan to give each family a big Japanese melon. This is our little thought."
Ma Changshun looked at the little girl who was talking and thought that she was really grand.
"Okay, that way we can still have contact in the future."
"Team Leader Ma, I wonder if you will have time tomorrow? We don't know where the person who is helping lives, so we thought about asking you to help with a trip." Tan Shaoting answered immediately.
"Okay, I have time tomorrow."
After they got home, they had lunch and started picking Japanese melons. However, they saw many children plowing the ground and picking up the discarded sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"This is good. At least we won't waste food."
"They should be able to pick up quite a few."
Both of them understood that this was not working for themselves, and it was normal to lose food.
After the two took a nap in the afternoon, they went to Tan Shaoting's former yard. The Japanese melons were as big as aluminum basins. They looked like millstones. In the end, they counted three hundred.
"It's quite a lot, two for each family, ten for Team Leader Ma and Field Director Feng's family, and we'll save the rest.
In fact, I still have a lot of Japanese melons. I still have them all."
"Keep it, let's send some to Uncle Bai's house. The last time I went to his house, the food was a lot worse."
The two of them finished their work at four o'clock in the afternoon. When they went back, Su Yuanyuan cooked and Tan Shaoting flipped the corn cobs.
"I have a corn-grinding machine here, would you like to try it?"
Su Yuanyuan put out the corn shaking machine. Tan Shaoting was studying it in the yard.
Dinner is dumplings and leek meat.
Tan Shaoting sighed while eating, "It's so easy to live this autumn."
"It won't work next year. You may not even be able to plant it by then."
That saves effort. I'm afraid that after all the hard work, if this happens again, it will be really unfair.
"Isn't everyone like this?"
After the two of them finished eating, they collected 90% of the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and put the remaining 10% at Tan Shaoting's house. After all, the Bai family was coming to live, and they had to help take care of the animals, so they had to leave food for them.
Otherwise it would be unjustifiable.
"Let's ship a few more frames of corn cobs. That makes sense." Su Yuanyuan thought that it would be better to give more so that people would be willing to feed the animals.
