Hua Min hurried out with a basket in her hand, pulling Lin Yan to run away.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Yan grabbed Hua Min hard to stop her from running away.
"There's something big going on over there at the wood factory. Everyone has gone there. Let's get there quickly."
"Please tell me clearly, what is the big deal?"
Hua Min said mysteriously: "It won't surprise you if you tell me. You will be surprised when you go to see it."
Lin Yan's curiosity was aroused, and he and Hua Min trotted to the wood factory.
Many people were rushing here, and she was even more curious about what was the big deal that brought so many people together.
Just when I thought of this, I saw a group of people walking out, led by Yun Qing, and the people behind her were carrying something.
With just one glance, Lin Yan was stunned.
"How about it? Is it a big surprise?" Hua Min said with a smile, leaning against Lin Yan.
Lin Yan nodded, "When was it made? What is it for?"
"I made it two days ago. I went to the field to show it to everyone. It was originally a wooden plow made by a wood factory. After trying it, the plowshare broke easily. Lin Yun and Shi Zhi changed the plowshare to an iron one, so , that’s why so many people came around, wanting to see the effect of this iron plow.”
"Very good, I didn't even notice that you actually did such a big thing. It should be no problem, the iron plow is stronger and more durable. It's just that you are using something to pull the plow, it can't be a human being, right?"
Hua Min shook his head, "It was pulled by humans before. After trying it, Tie Da thought it would be better to switch to cows. Didn't you bring back two calves? They have grown up a lot. Tie Da raised them very well."
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about Niu Zaizi. Come on, go take a look."
Lin Yan couldn't wait. When he brought Niuzaizi back, he left it to Tieda and the others to raise, and she didn't care. Tie Da is the outsider Dashi, and they all changed their surname to Tie. Living in the far north, I rarely see it.
When they arrived at the field, Tieda was already waiting with the cow. The little calf has grown into a big black bull, which looks very tough.
The black bull had a nose ring and was tied up with a rope. His eyes were calm and not as ferocious as the bison.
Several people tied the iron plow to the black cow with hemp rope and other tools.
Tieda held the cow, and Yun Qing held the handle of the plow and started to move slowly.
Looking at the black soil that turned up where they walked, everyone burst into laughter.
"This is much faster than people digging soil."
"Tie Da has restrained this black cow, and it is much more docile. It would be great if my family also had a cow."
"Hey, there are so many bison, just go and tame one."
"Aren't you looking for death? The bison are too ferocious and cannot be tamed. We have to raise them from calves, or else we steal the calves."
The crowd was talking a lot, and the people plowing the fields didn't stop, gradually speeding up.
In less than half an hour, a large area of land was turned over. Who wouldn’t be moved after seeing such an effect?
Lin Yan was also very moved. With so much land in her family, it would take a lot of time and effort to dig it out with a head on her own. If she could plow the land, she could turn it over in a few days.
Not only that, the ravines created by the plowing were deep and the weeds were turned over. The leaves were buried in the ground and the roots were exposed. After being exposed to the sun, they died completely.
Compared with digging the ground by humans, it is faster and better, making it the best choice for farming.
Tie Er was not far from Lin Yan. Looking at her envious look, he said naively, "I'll plow the land for your house."
"Really?" Lin Yan's eyes sparkled, "I'll pay you to help plow my family's land."
Oxen are rare, there are only two of them at present, but iron plows can make many.
Tie Er is Tie Da's younger brother. The two brothers admire Lin Yan very much. Every change in Sun City is novel in their eyes.
He shook his head hastily, "You don't have to pay me, I'm willing to plow your family's land."
"How can I let you work for nothing?" Lin Yan disagreed, "You have worked hard and you should be paid. That's it. When my land is opened, I will find you."
Sun City was very lively that day, and the news about the iron plow and the ox spread quickly.
The two cows immediately attracted everyone's attention and were looked at with surprise.
Many people want to rent oxen, and some want the Tie family to plow the land with the oxen and people, and pay 1 cent for plowing an acre of land.
When Lin Yan came back in the evening, he heard from Hua Hong that it had been negotiated and Tieda agreed to plow the land for city people for 1 cent per acre.
Huahong said enviously: "Who would have thought that those two cows would become treasures. If I had known this, I would have kept them by myself."
"How can I have time to raise cows? Cows eat more than rats and rabbits, and they are busy just cutting grass and feeding them every day. This is quite good now. Tieda and the others are outsiders, and they have a way to make money. It allows them to integrate into Sun City.”
"I'm just envious. Having a cow can plow the land so quickly. It saves effort and worry. If we open up all the land in our house, it will take a lot of time to plow it over."
Lin Yan said with a smile: "Please help Tieda and the others. If you can do it with money, I won't have to dig the ground so hard. Next year, when we need to plant more wheat, I will have to do the weeding together." Woolen cloth."
The two of them chatted and ate.
She had given the drawings to Hong Ling for them to study on their own. There was no need to copy books anymore, Lin Yan concentrated on practicing and then fell asleep.
I go to work in the fields every day, and I can fall asleep instantly at night. I can sleep until dawn and repeat the life of the previous day.
The days passed quickly, and it was mid-June. Under Lin Yan's careful care every day, the wheat seedlings grew much better than the first generation. The leaves were thicker and the stems looked strong.
According to this trend, a batch of good wheat seeds will be harvested in two months.
After driving away the sparrows with a branch, Lin Yan sat down on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Running around in the fields every day, her little body became thinner but stronger.
Once a fat baby, now he is a lean black monkey who has also learned to climb trees.
I don’t know if it’s because of her spiritual cultivation, but she is also very strong and physically strong.
She also eats a lot, and Hua Hong bursts into laughter every time she sees it. Seeing Lin Yan like this, she no longer had to worry about being able to make a living.
It’s time for the second crop of june to be harvested, and people are busy in the fields, carrying bundles of june to their homes.
The yield of roe hemp is very high, and the stems, shreds, and hemp seeds can all be used. It can be said that there is no waste in the whole body.
However, more and more pockmarks are accumulating, and no one is free to eat pockmarks every day, so the consumption is limited.
In the past few days, Lin Yan heard many people talking about too many pockmarks. Apart from making seeds and eating a little, some of them were spoiled.
It is a pity that the pockmarks that have been cultivated and harvested through hard work are wasted like this.
Unlike hemp silk, no matter how much you produce, it will never be enough.
Hemp silk can be sold for money, but hemp seeds cannot be sold. Every household has it, and there are many in the wild. Who will buy it? People are worried about getting it wrong.
