Chapter 162 Shen Yuan, You Really Love Your Wife
Although this thing is not difficult to make, it is something they invented after all.
"Well, I won't say anything more. Shen Yuan, you married a good wife, treat her well."
The head of the village was in a hurry to work and did not stay for long. After he finished speaking, he went to harvest the wheat.
Anyway, this thing was thought up by Shen Yuan's wife. Even if there are a lot of imitations in the future, with him here, no one would dare to take credit for it.
Uncle Shen Yuan also came over and watched for a while, marveling at the sight. He was thinking that as soon as they finished collecting the things over there, they would hurry over to help Shen Yuan. Judging from Shen Yuan's speed, he would probably be faster than them.
The result is predictable. The Shen Yuan family, who only had one strong laborer, was the one that harvested the wheat the fastest.
His family did not have much land in the village, and one person was able to do the work of five strong laborers, but they were the first family to finish harvesting the wheat.
The wheat stalk was also taken away by my uncle's family for use.
This use is extraordinary. Normally, it takes one person two hours to mow an acre of land, but this threshing hammer only takes half an hour.
A person works for six hours a day and can usually only mow three acres of land, but now he can mow 12 acres.
No wonder it took Shen Yuan’s family just over two days to finish the 30 acres of land. They are still busy working in the fields.
Everyone was amazed again, and now more people were eager to become Mai Shan.
But it’s too late this year, I must get a set next year.
Shen Yuan was quick and after harvesting the wheat he helped the children pick up all the wheat and pulled it all to the threshing floor in a ox cart.
In the threshing field, the operations of removing the stalks and threshing need to be carried out. Only when the wheat ears become grains can they be considered to be stored in the warehouse.
Su Wanwan saw Shen Yuan removing the wheat from the poles. He actually placed a large wooden barrel and took a bundle of wheat and knocked it hard on the mouth of the barrel so that the wheat ears fell into the barrel.
There are many other people doing the same thing in the wheat field.
After all, not everyone has a sickle, so those who don't have a sickle can do other things here, and all these tasks are done simultaneously.
For example, at my uncle's house, my uncle led Shen Liang and Shen Heng to harvest wheat in the fields, while my aunt led her two daughters-in-law to remove the stalks, the children picked up wheat ears, and Shen Su was responsible for pulling the wheat to the threshing floor.
There is division of labor and everything is well organized.
The weather was really hot, and Su Wanwan actually saw some men with bare chests. Shen Yuan was okay, he just rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs.
Shen Yuan was really strong. Others had to throw the wheat ears several times before they could get them into the bucket, but Shen Yuan finished a bucket of wheat ears in just one go. Shen Zhao then took the children to dry the wheat ears.
During the busy farming season, some farmers really work without distinguishing between day and night. Only after witnessing their hard work did Su Wanwan realize how poor productivity was in ancient times.
In modern times, large harvesters can directly harvest the husked wheat kernels.
However, she couldn't build large-scale machinery, so she decided to look for other tools, such as threshing tools and shelling tools.
We are still removing the wheat from the stalks. Some of the wheat has not been harvested yet, and it will take another two days to thresh it. I heard that it will also be threshed using stone mills.
Su Wanwan learned about it and couldn't help but sigh.
Slow, so slow.
Shen Yuan spent more than two days harvesting wheat, and it would probably take three or four days to remove the stalks.
The wheat harvest, from cutting the wheat to storing the grains in the warehouse, takes at least twenty days.
Some people who have a lot of land are busy all month long, from morning to night.
Su Wanwan learned about it and found out that Shen Yuan drank the mung bean water and asked her to go back quickly.
Su Wanwan looked at her aunt and the others, and saw that there was still a lot of mung bean juice left, so she took it over there.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, you guys should also drink some mung bean water."
Zhang Cuihua didn't hesitate and threw away the wheat ears in her hand.
"Thank you, I'm thirsty."
Seeing this, Sun Ye Zi immediately threw away the wheat ears and ran over.
"Let me drink a sip too. I'm dying of thirst."
After saying that, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law both took a bowl, scooped a bowl, and drank it down with gulps.
"How sweet."
After Sun Ye Zi finished drinking, she tried to scoop more, but Zhang Cuihua clapped her hands.
"You're dying of thirst. Your sister-in-law hasn't had any drink yet. Yan'er, stop working. Come over here and have a drink of water after a break."
Zhao Yan smashed the one in her hand before coming over.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, and thank you, mother."
She thanked him and then drank a bowl of water.
Zhang Cuihua put the bowl back into the basket.
"Wanwan, you are really smart. How did you come up with the idea for the wheat threshing machine? Originally, your uncle said he would go to help you. Now, we are going to use your wheat threshing machine. This year, the wheat harvesting speed will be faster."
The more Zhang Cuihua looked at Su Wanwan, the more she liked her.
Not only is she pretty, she is not stingy at all, she is very capable and sweet-spoken.
The most important thing is that I don’t know what’s wrong with his brain. Even an old farmer can’t figure out that thing.
"Aunt, please stop praising me."
Su Wanwan felt a little embarrassed. That was the wisdom of the working people. Everyone came to praise her these past two days.
Shen Yuan is really something. How could he say that it was her who figured it out?
"My sister-in-law is so lucky. The children are all working, and she is the only one seen when she delivers water every day."
Sun Ye Zi pulled Zhao Yan and whispered.
Zhao Yan looked embarrassed.
"You can't say that. Isn't my sister-in-law also busy at home? She even made the wheat stalks."
Zhao Yan is honest and not very talkative, but she really doesn’t think there is anything wrong. Su Wanwan is different from them.
What's more, the fact that she invented the scythe is not more significant than the work they do every day, right?
Zhang Cuihua slapped Sun Yezi on the shoulder:
"You lazy bastard, do you think our Shen family treats you badly? Shen Yuan is willing to pamper his wife, it's none of your business! If you still envy her, spit out the mung bean water you just drank, you can't stop drinking it!"
Zhang Cuihua beat him hard again. Sun Yezi ran to work crying, not daring to say another word.
Zhao Yan was also embarrassed and turned around to look at Su Wanwan sheepishly.
"Sister-in-law, she's just a jeer. Don't take it to heart. Mother is right. The man is willing to pamper you. She's just jealous of you."
Su Wanwan watched this sudden change and then looked around. Indeed, many women cast envious glances at her.
"Sister-in-law, I know. Shen Yuan doesn't let me work, and I have no choice."
She can be angry, but she is also numb and has become thick-skinned now.
Sure enough, seeing Sun Ye Zi gritting her teeth, she finally felt better.
But the other women were just envious and didn't say much.
They are right, men are willing to pamper their daughters, and besides, they are no match for Su Wanwan.
Not to mention men, even they, looking at Su Wanwan's fair little face, would be reluctant to let her work.
Shen Yuan also heard the noise and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Wife, the sun is too strong, go back quickly and don't get burned."
Su Wanwan:......
This guy must have done it on purpose.
Sure enough, everyone laughed knowingly, and Su Wanwan blushed.
"My young wife is shy, Shen Yuan, you really love your wife."
An auntie shouted, and Shen Yuan saw his wife blushing and smiled.
