With the arrival of autumn, the entire Liaodong region has also entered the busy autumn harvest season.
The same is true in Nanshan Village. The entire Nanshan Village, men, women, old and young, are all busy in the endless wheat fields.
Thanks to the fact that Li Damao in the village bought a steam cultivator at the beginning of the year, the land of every household in the village was plowed by the cultivator. This year, all the land was planted with wheat.
Each household has hundreds of acres of land, and some are diligent and even reclaimed more land. Like Li Damao in the village, because he has a steam cultivator, he reclaimed more than a thousand acres of land.
Altogether, Li Damao's family has nearly 2,000 acres of farmland, which can compete with the landowners in the pass.
There is no way, the land in Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated. Even if there are a large number of immigrants, there is still a lot of land that is uncultivated. Every household has a lot of land, so much that they have no energy to cultivate it. So this land,
As long as you have the ability, you can cultivate and cultivate the land, and the land you cultivate will be yours.
Every household cultivates a lot of land, which is very happy at this time, but after this year, everyone is exhausted and the whole family is simply too busy to farm hundreds of acres of land.
Therefore, in many cases we can only adopt extensive farming methods, and there is no way to do intensive farming like in Guan Nei.
Fortunately, the land in Liaodong is fertile black soil. There is heavy snowfall in Liaodong in winter, and the weather is very cold, so there are relatively few pests and diseases, so in autumn, the harvest is still quite good.
However, now every household is looking at the endless wheat fields, with smiles on their faces, and at the same time, they are all frowning. When will they receive hundreds of acres of land?
If the harvest cannot be completed in time, the wheat will rot in the field. Such good wheat, it would be a pity.
In the wheat field of Ding Dazhu's family, Ding Dazhu was almost dead from exhaustion and his waist was sore. He couldn't help but stand up and take a look. The family had already harvested a large wheat field, but when he looked at his own wheat field, there was still a lot that needed to be done.
Harvest.
After the wheat was harvested, he had to store it, but the warehouse at home was already full of wheat, and he couldn't move his brows away from worry.
"Where's Li Damao?"
Soon, when he looked in the direction of Li Damao's wheat field, he couldn't help but become confused.
The wheat field of Li Damao's family is adjacent to their wheat field. Yesterday, I saw Li Damao's family harvesting wheat, but today I didn't see anyone.
"Who knows, he has a lot of fields, maybe he has gone to harvest other fields."
Ding Dazhu's daughter-in-law said, then looked at her wheat field and said: "Master, we have planted too much wheat this year. We will definitely not be able to harvest it all. Why don't we go to Tieling to see if there are any Koreans? Why don't we go out?"
Just hire them to harvest some grain."
"North Koreans are very popular now. I have already inquired about it. This year, the price charged by the North Koreans is much higher than last year. It costs one hundred kilograms of wheat for one person to work for a day." Fastest update Mobile version::
When Ding Dazhu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "In our hometown, there is no such expensive labor force. It costs a hundred catties of wheat to do a day's work."
"No, it's too expensive."
Ding Dazhu's wife also nodded and said.
"You think it's too expensive? I don't know how many people hire them. Even if we didn't say hello to them in advance, they wouldn't come over. We want to hire people, but there's no room."
Ding Dazhu shook his head helplessly and said.
Every household in Liaodong has a lot of land, and they are overwhelmed by the bumper wheat harvest. This year, more North Koreans came to work in Daming, but they still cannot meet the huge demand.
The emergence of steam cultivators at the beginning of the year, coupled with the use of a large number of cattle and horses, also made the land cultivated in Liaodong this year more than ten times that of last year.
Even though a large number of North Koreans came to work in Daming, they still could not meet the market demand. The North Koreans also raised wages again and again, but they were still too busy.
"Woooo~woooo~"
At this moment, a whistle sounded from the road between Nanshan Village and the outside world, and a huge vehicle was slowly driving towards Nanshan Village.
"Why does Li Damao drive a steam cultivator?"
Hearing the sound, Ding Dazhu immediately thought of Li Damao's steam cultivator and looked over quickly.
"That's not a steam cultivator. A steam cultivator doesn't seem that big."
Ding Dazhu's wife looked at the giant beast walking on the road and said with some doubts.
"I'll go over and have a look~"
Ding Dazhu put down the tools in his hands and walked over in a hurry.
When I got closer, I saw that it was really Li Damao. At this time, he was driving a brand-new machine towards Nanshan Village.
"Da Mao~"
"What kind of machine are you driving?"
Ding Dazhu looked at the machine curiously and asked. This machine is a little different from the steam cultivator. The steam engine is at the back and there is a strange roller-like thing in the front.
"Haha, this is a steam harvester, produced by Jingcheng Machinery Factory. I also booked one with them in advance. No, it just arrived today, so I hurried to pick it up, just in time for the wheat harvest."
Li Damao said with a smile.
He is now obsessed with all kinds of machines. At the beginning of the year, he first rented a steam cultivator. After tasting the benefits, he bought it directly. With the help of the steam cultivator, Li Damao only plowed the ground this year.
I made a lot of money, not to mention that I reclaimed more than a thousand acres of farmland for my family. :(/
After planting nearly two thousand acres of land, Li Damao was thinking about harvesting from the beginning. After talking with the sales staff of the Jingcheng Machinery Factory, he learned about the steam harvester.
He ordered a steam engine harvester from the Jingcheng Machinery Factory early, and now it has finally arrived.
"Can this machine harvest wheat?"
When Ding Dazhu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked carefully at the big guy in front of him again.
"Haha, of course. It is said that this steam harvester was invented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It was already used by people in Beizhili last fall. Now this is the second generation product. It has been improved a lot and is more reliable.
, more stable, more powerful, and faster.”
Li Damao patted his steam harvester and said, and then drove the steam harvester towards his wheat field.
Like Ding Dazhu, after the villagers in Nanshan Village learned the news, they all hurriedly came to Li Damao's wheat field to watch the excitement and wanted to see how this machine harvested wheat.
“Are there machines for harvesting wheat?”
"Isn't that right? If we can have machines for cultivating the land, why can't we harvest wheat?"
"I've heard that there is a machine that can be used to pound rice. Maybe we won't have to work hard to shell the wheat in the future. There is even a machine for grinding flour."
"Well, wouldn't it make work much easier in the future?"
"Well, haven't you seen how fast a steam cultivator turns the ground?"
The villagers in Nanshan Village gathered together to discuss while watching. Although they were very busy, everyone was curious. Many villagers came to watch and wanted to see how this steam harvester harvested wheat.
of.
On top of the steam harvester, Li Damao and his wife were busy preparing for harvesting.
"Da Mao, hurry up and start it to see if this machine can work. Don't ruin your wheat by then."
"That's right. If you can use a machine to harvest wheat, let's make an agreement first. I'll hire you to help my family harvest wheat, and I'll give you fifty pounds of wheat for one acre of land."
"Fifty kilograms of wheat per acre, thank you for your ability to say so. These Koreans need a hundred kilograms of wheat a day."
"Haha, the price can be discussed again, let's discuss~"
Everyone waited, and soon Li Damao also completed the preparations.
"I'm going to start harvesting wheat~"
Li Damao shouted to the village and slowly drove the machine into the wheat field.
As the machine moves, the rollers in front of the harvester continue to rotate, and the wheat is drawn into it. The blades continuously cut the wheat straw and send it over.
At the exit, Li Damao's wife was holding a cloth bag. As the machine started, wheat continued to flow out from the exit. She quickly filled a big bag and filled it very quickly.
After tying it up, and then pushing it gently, the bag filled with wheat fell into the wheat field.
The machine is constantly moving forward, and the wheat in the wheat field is disappearing as the machine moves. Behind the machine, neatly arranged wheat stalks and bags of packed wheat are left.
It was very fast and very efficient, and the villagers in Nanshan Village couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"My darling, this machine can really harvest wheat. The speed is too fast. Just go through it once and the wheat will be harvested?"
Some people opened their mouths and widened their eyes and said in disbelief.
"This, this, can really harvest wheat!"
Ding Dazhu was a little unbelievable. He entered the wheat field, looked at the wheat straw carefully, and then looked at the wheat in the bag.
"This eliminates the need to throw the wheat, and directly threshes it from the wheat stalk?"
He looked carefully at the wheat in his hand, and then at the wheat straw. The threshing was relatively clean, and only a small amount of wheat remained. Harvesting wheat was a hard job. The recovered wheat had to be dried in the sun, and then the wheat was threshed hard.
, threshing the wheat kernels from under the wheat straw.
Now this steam engine harvester is so magical. It not only harvests the wheat, but also threshes it directly, turning it into grains of wheat and putting them into bags, saving too much time and energy.
