This year, Tan Shaoting is not going to use Bai Linsheng to help take care of the livestock, and now there are brothers and sisters from the Zhao family. Don't worry about leaving.
"I actually want to take the train all the way back. I read the letter Blacksmith Yang gave me, and I guess it won't be too good there.
I thought I'd better give some help to those few people who were kind to me. "
Tan Shaoting has no objection, "Okay, I will accompany you wherever you want. We don't need to buy chemical fertilizers now, and there will still be drought next year. It is useless to buy chemical fertilizers."
Su Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, but she didn't ask why he knew about next year's events.
强牺  读牺。 "You stay here, I can do it myself."
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "I must follow you."
Su Yuanyuan spread her hands and said to herself if you want to follow. Anyway, he already knew some of the biggest secret, so he didn't need to hide it.
The next day, the mud in the field stopped sticking to their feet, so the two started weeding.
It was not until the beginning of September that all the land was mowed.
The two of them decided to start hoeing sweet potatoes at the end of September.
"Let's go to the blacksmith to order a special slot."
"What kind? Don't you use a pickaxe to hoe sweet potatoes?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded and drew the blueprint.
This time Zhang Si. Tan Shaoting took it over and took a look to understand the principle.
"Okay, but it should hurt some sweet potatoes and potatoes."
Su Yuanyuan shrugged, "Even with a big pickaxe, it may not be able to avoid injury."
Tan Shaoting nodded. "Okay, I'll go to the city tomorrow to order two. Anyway, I'm fine now, and I'll wait until it's done before I come back."
?Su Yuanyuan nodded. Now that her blacksmith shop is closed, she has to find someone privately.
"You leave tomorrow, remember to bring the coal ticket at home, and buy a lump of coal."
"Think about it, what else do you need? I'll bring it back together."
Tan Shaoting came back a week after going out. But two Huozi brought back. There is also a car of lump coal and a lot of daily necessities. In particular, I bought two bags of salt, salted pickles. This salt is used a lot.
He comes back. The two of them tried it out, not to mention, the effect was quite good. Because there are not many sweet potatoes and potatoes this year. So it really didn't hurt to use the scorpion.
It's already the middle of the month, in fact, it's time to harvest autumn now.
"Let's wait until the end of September. We can finish it in two months, so we're not in a hurry."
"Well. Okay, I'll listen to you."
With this exception, the two of them will have a much faster harvest.
The corn cobs are now yellow. None of these can be rushed.
Today, the two of them were cleaning up the vegetables in the yard, pulling out cucumber seedlings and eggplant seedlings. The leeks are waiting to be covered with the plant ash they usually burn, and then covered with grass curtains and corn stalks, which can protect the leeks to a large extent.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan."
Zhao Yanli came over in a hurry.
Behind is Zhao Yanping. There are two sisters, Zhao Xiaojing.
"Hurry up and sit down."
"Yuanyuan, we're here to give you money. Last time I paid for gas, I had to bring back salt."
They also planted cabbage and radishes. So they also need to pickle pickles, after all, the five brothers and sisters have to eat.
Su Yuanyuan charged them nine yuan. No matter how much.
"When are you going to harvest autumn?" Zhao Yanli asked.
"At the end of this month."
"Earlier than us, we are in October. My elder brother said, if you harvest autumn earlier than us. The five of us will come to help for a few days."
Su Yuanyuan thought about it. "Alright. You can come here on the 27th. We made a new one and tried it. It can be used for potatoes and sweet potatoes. The speed is also very fast, and you can use it when we run out."
"Okay, I'll tell my elder brother to let him go early.
Yuanyuan, if I make money this time. Can you help my elder brother buy a watch? None of us know the time. " Zhao Yanli muttered.
Su Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I will take you to the city when the time comes, and you can choose by yourself."
Zhao Yanli nodded with a smile. Of course that would be fine.
Su Yuanyuan brought him back some leeks. There are also small dried fish.
"Yuanyuan, this small fish is broken, cut up leeks and put it in cornmeal to steam steamed buns, which is very delicious. "
"As long as you like to eat."
Send away their two sisters. Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting started cutting sweet potato seedlings.
The two also followed the method of last year, holding four sickles in their hands and walking backwards.
At night, the two of them used their abilities. So one hundred mu of land was completed in three days.
After that, the two spent a day breaking the corn into the house. Now that the crops are ripe, it is useless to leave them like this.
Three acres of land and corn stalks were put away a day. The size of the corn is still smaller than last year, and there are no corn kernels at the tip of the cob. The drought still has a great impact.
The two of them ate in the yard at night, looking at the corn drying outside, they both sighed.
"This is not bad, other people's corn doesn't have many kernels."
"At least we gotta have corn kernels?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, Su Yuanyuan sighed, and then went on to eat. For this year's crops, the two of them worked very hard. It's just that the watering is always done secretly at ordinary times, and the production is still reduced by so much.
"Shall we hand over all the corn?"
"Not so good?" Tan Shaoting felt that it would be difficult for them to eat cornmeal.
"Then top it all with sweet potatoes and potatoes."
"We originally planted sweet potatoes."
"We'll start shipping potatoes tomorrow. Do you want to ask the team leader Lai Ma to collect them directly?"
"I'll ask tomorrow morning. Let's hand over most of them, and exchange the rest for money."
Both of them understood that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were to be kept for planting.
The next day Tan Shaoting went to find Ma Changshun, but he couldn't make up his mind, so the two drove to find Feng Baoshan again.
"Okay, I'll send a few people over to pick out the good ones, and drive them back."
Tan Shaoting nodded, this saved them a process.
"Captain Feng, we will start harvesting potatoes today."
"Okay, I'll send someone there in the afternoon."
Tan Shaoting went to Zhao's house and asked them to drive there to help.
Potatoes are turned out with slits, still with seedlings, which need to be picked off.
"Yuanyuan, your potatoes are really good. I feel the same as in years without drought."
"I didn't expect the president to be so good."
To control the big and to control the owl. The three boys drove the donkey ahead, and the four girls followed behind to spread the soil on the potatoes and pick up the fallen ones. Then put them neatly aside, waiting for the potato collectors to pick off the good ones, and leave the damaged ones or small ones for the family to eat.
During this process, Su Yuanyuan and Zhao Yanping were responsible for picking the biggest ones, and those to be kept for seed were enough for two baskets, and they carried them back
