The next day, Zheng Bajin took two wrenches and pulled the plowshare to Haizi Village.
Xi Shunhai and Qian Youyou have already found a few five or six workers and started working in the fields early in the morning. Seeing Zheng Bajin pulling such a thing, I couldn't help but be stunned. Can this thing still be used?
Zheng Bajin told them that it would definitely work. A walking tractor is also a tractor. Although it is not as powerful as a real plowing tractor, it should not be a problem to drag such a plowshare.
People couldn't tell what was wrong, they just felt that the wheels were not of the same grade and should be unreliable.
Zheng Bajin called someone to help lift the plowshare down to the ground.
This plowshare is almost the same as an ordinary plowshare. The only difference is that the plowmouth is wider. When plowed down, it is more than five times equivalent to the plowshare pulled by an ox. However, the requirements for power are naturally high and cannot be compared with that of Five Cows.
Of course, it is not as advanced as those machines that were specially used to dig the ground in the previous life. However, if they are not available, they can only make do with it. It is always faster and easier than digging manually.
Several people looked at Zheng Bajin, and Zheng Bajin also looked at them, pointing to the person who had just helped him unload the goods and said: "Go find some wooden boards, not too long, just about one foot. Others continue to mow the grass. .”
People didn't know what he wanted to do, but they did it.
Qian Youyou looked at Zheng Bajin and said, "Brother, what do you want Mu Fang to do? I always feel that the walking tractor is difficult to use in the field. It easily gets stuck in the soil and cannot be used at all."
"It's okay, you'll understand after a while." Zheng Bajin looked at the young boy and said, "Here, help me unload the carriage!"
Qian Youyou was dubious, and followed Zheng Bajin to hold the front of the car, quickly removed the carriage and installed the plowshare.
At this time, the man found more than a dozen wooden boards and sticks, all of which were one foot long. He said that he couldn't find so many wooden boards. Can sticks be used?
"Okay!" Zheng Bajin nodded, took out some ropes from the carriage, and began to tie the pieces of wood under the two wheels of the tractor head.
Qian Youyou looked at this wave of operations and suddenly understood. It turned out that this was to increase the force-bearing area of the wheel, making it less likely to sink.
When the car is started, it is indeed feasible, which is equivalent to installing temporary tracks on the tractor. However, the sound of the diesel engine was so noisy that I could barely hear people talking.
"Brother, how did you come up with this?" Qian Youyou asked strangely.
Zheng Bajin drove the car slowly and plowed up the soil piece by piece. He smiled and said loudly: "As long as you are willing to use your brain, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
Everyone was stunned. They stopped what they were doing and watched Zheng Bajin's performance.
Although the tractor was not fast, large areas of land were turned over wherever it passed.
The only drawback is that the rope breaks easily. However, Zheng Bajin is now willing to spend money, and he doesn't feel bad about these ropes at all.
He looked at the people and said loudly: "Now everyone should mind their own business, don't gather together to watch the excitement."
People started to get busy and secretly glanced at Zheng Bajin from time to time.
Zheng Bajin plowed for a while and handed it over to Qian Youyou who had been eager to try it. Not to mention, this job was not easy at all, especially with both hands. He had to press the handle of the car hard, otherwise the front of the car would pry up the plowshare.
Zheng Bajin thought for a while, found a big stone, and tied it to the plowshare with a rope. Sure enough, the tractor was much more stable, and the land it plowed was also much deeper. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Most importantly, it makes it much easier for those who master the machine.
Qian Youyou plowed for an hour, and his hands were extremely sore. Zheng Bajin replaced him and persisted for an hour. He found a young man to help, and the three of them alternated.
The young man was very enthusiastic at first and was eager to try this new thing. However, within an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore. Due to his dignity, he waited until an hour before changing people.
Of course Zheng Bajin has his own ideas, and it is impossible for him to do it himself. He has a lot of things to do and needs to consider all aspects, which is what people call overall planning and overview.
He also mobilized another young man. Anyone who has learned and is competent will be paid ten yuan a day, saying that these are professional and technical talents, and their income will naturally be higher than others.
As for the older ones, they won't let them go up if they want, for fear that they won't move quickly and may cause trouble.
People start to envy you, saying that being young is good, and you have to earn two days of other people's wages in one day.
However, the young people who were replaced were not relaxed. They helped pull weeds during their breaks, so that they felt they were worthy of the wages given by Zheng Bajin.
Everyone worked enthusiastically, even harder than cultivating their own land. In one morning, ten acres of land were plowed, which is equivalent to three cows working for a whole day.
Everyone went home to eat. This was what Zheng Bajin had agreed in advance. There would be no food provided. Everyone would think of their own way. It was impossible for him to find someone to cook. After all, everyone was from the village, so they could just go back and eat whatever they wanted.
Xi Shunhai had been helping with the work and had no time to cook. Fortunately, he prepared a lot of firewood, picked up a handful of potatoes and burned them in the fire, leaving Zheng Bajin and Qian Youyou to make do with it.
Zheng Bajin was not polite, as long as he could eat enough. Thinking back to his previous life (in his previous life), when he started his business, he had eaten all the roots and bark of trees. This little hardship was nothing. As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
When he went to work in the afternoon, Xi Shunjin also came. He found Zheng Bajin and asked if he could take him in and let him help with light work such as pulling weeds. Just pay him a little money.
Zheng Bajin nodded and said of course, it would be two yuan a day.
Xi Shunjin happily agreed. The vegetables in his own field have grown mature and are waiting for Zheng Bajin to buy them. He thought that if he stopped farming in the future, he would rent the land to Zheng Bajing and it would be easier for him to work as a part-time worker.
Zheng Bajin readily agreed and said that Xi Shunjin's land was mature land and he would rent it for five yuan an acre.
He was happy that he finally found a wage standard, and from now on he would pay Zheng Baliang the minimum wage.
For this nominal brother, there is nothing he can do, he is the first to eat, and he loses even two yuan a day, but he has promised Hu Ying that he must take care of him. As long as he doesn't cause any damage, just sit here and look at the vegetable fields, it's just like giving him two yuan a day to smoke.
But Xi Shunjin is different. Although he is not too young, I don't dare to let him do heavy work, but he is a good hand at helping pull weeds. Two yuan a day is really too low. Let's make more compensation in other aspects in the future!
Zheng Bajin pondered, if there is a chance, help him find a woman to carry on the family line, otherwise, such a poor man will be really miserable in his later years, especially his mother, if she does not see her son get married in her lifetime, she may die without peace!
