    ??

    In short, in the end, Prince William was very satisfied. He took 5% of the shares with almost nothing. After that, he immediately expressed his firm support for the development of perfume by the two royal perfumers.

    And by the way, I also mentioned that the set of red wine brewing equipment purchased for He Fan was already in transit.

    He Fan is not in a hurry about this matter. Even if the equipment arrives, the construction of his winery has not yet been completed. In addition, even the grapes have not grown yet, so he can only put it aside for now!

    However, He Fan unexpectedly received a call from his parents, asking him to go back to the village to help!

    There was no other way, his parents had spoken, and He Fan could only drive back in the Wuling car, taking along two strong laborers, Lin Guo and Li Laoba.

    There is not much work to be done in the village right now. As for harvesting, the earliest mature rice will not mature until July, and there is still some time left.

    So He Fan couldn¡¯t figure out what his parents were doing when they called him back during the journey.

    However, He Fan was not without business. Just before, Hou Minghao had asked him to pick the bayberries and transport them to Hou's Winery to make bayberry wine!

    "I guess those bayberries are almost mature, so I can take care of this when I go back this time!"

    It wasn¡¯t until he arrived at his yard in Qinghe Village that He Fan realized what kind of work he was doing here. His parents were already picking up sickles in the yard!

    "Last winter, many families in the village planted wheat. Now, the winter barley is almost mature, and everyone in the village is rushing to help harvest the wheat!"

    He Weihai said it seriously. Qinghe Village has always been united. Every family needs help when something happens, even He Fan is no exception.

    In He Weihai's heart, this is the foundation of their Qingshui Village, so as soon as the barley harvest came up, he called He Fan back!

    Hearing this, He Fan, Lin Guo and Li Laoba were stunned for a moment. After all, they had only harvested rice before. When did wheat appear?

    He Weihai on the side explained:

    "It's not like our life has been good in the past two years. In addition, the harvest is good. Every granary in Qinghe Village is full. It is enough to feed the whole family for several years, so many people are getting up.  I¡¯m thinking about growing something else to eat, like barley or something, which can also be ground into flour!¡±

    He Fan finally understood. It was not a strange thing to say this!

    Nowadays, the Qingshui River in the village has excellent water quality because of the introduction of Lingshui. The rice fields on both sides of the Qingshui River also had a great harvest last year. Which family¡¯s fields do not need to harvest as much as in previous years?  A few hundred kilograms of rice?

    ¡°Coupled with the income from the village¡¯s farms and food processing plants, the villagers¡¯ wallets have bulged in the past two years. They don¡¯t have to worry about food, so there is no need to only grow rice on this land. It doesn¡¯t hurt to grow other crops!

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that their own rice fields had to supply rice flower crabs to Gerton, He Weihai and his wife would have thought about digging out an acre of land to grow other crops such as sesame mung beans or watermelons!

    "Why does barley ripen faster than rice? If that's the case, why not just plant barley!"

    ¡°That¡¯s right, if we harvest food a month earlier, we can plant something else in the second half of the year!¡±

    While He Fan was thinking, Lin Guo and Li Laoba asked an extremely stupid question in He Fan's eyes, and said angrily:

    "Why don't you two eat minced meat? The yield of barley is completely incomparable to that of rice. It's twice as bad. Which one do you think is better?"

    Lin Guo and Li Laoba knew that they had made a joke, and they couldn't stop talking about it.

    He Fan didn¡¯t fool them. Normally, the yield of barley per mu is 1,100 kilograms, which is as high as the sky, but the yield of rice per mu can reach 2,300 to 400 kilograms!

    For the villagers of Qinghe Village who couldn¡¯t even eat enough before, it goes without saying which one to plant!

    But now that you don¡¯t have to worry about having a full stomach, it doesn¡¯t matter if you plant some wheat. After all, flour is ground from wheat. In addition to the rice in the granary, don¡¯t you also have to prepare some flour at home?

    Many people see the white flour and naturally think that the flour is actually ground from rice.

    Actually, no, flour is made from wheat and is used to make bread, noodles and so on. The ones ground from rice are called rice noodles. Rice noodles and rice cakes are basically made from rice flour ground from rice!

      And He Fan calculated that the maturity date of winter barley was almost there, so he picked up the sickle and set off with his parents, muttering:

    ¡°It seems that we don¡¯t have to buy flour from outside this year, we can just eat the flour ground from this new wheat!¡±

    Led by the old couple, He Fan took the two brothers to the fields near the village and soon saw several connected plots of land planted with barley.

    The golden ears of wheat are falling heavily, almost to the point of falling over. Just by looking at them, you can tell that the harvest is good!

    The first few families in the village who grew barley basically gathered at the edge of the field, and other villagers who came to help gradually arrived.

    "Oh, why did you call Fanzi back? How can such a small thing delay Fanzi's important event!"

    Seeing He Fan coming, all the villagers from several households came up to him with smiles. He Fan also smiled and said hello:

    "As my uncles said, harvesting grain is such a big deal that we can't delay it. But after the harvest is over, I have to beg for some wheat to take back!"

    "You kid, we are just trying to keep things fresh, so it doesn't matter if you want them all!"

    After a few simple greetings with these uncles, the group of people joined in the process of harvesting wheat.

    He Fan and the two brothers behind him have some experience in harvesting rice, so they are not unfamiliar with using the sickle under their hands.

    And as soon as they entered the wheat field, several people immediately smelled the fragrance of wheat in their noses, and they were immediately shocked!

    He Fan started to work, and He Fan didn¡¯t say anything more. In the whole wheat field, there was only the sound of sickles waving in unison.

    Soon, a large area of ??wheat in the wheat field was harvested!

    " However, Qinghe Village has planted a lot of wheat this year. He Fan estimates that even with help, it will take two or three days to harvest them all, so there is no rush at this time.

    ??The wheat here has just been harvested, and there are special personnel to transport the wheat back and dry it in the sun!

    In fact, there are many similarities between wheat harvesting and rice harvesting. After the wheat is taken back, it must be dried and the wheat grains on the ears of wheat must be patted down.

    Therefore, help is needed in this intermediate process. If we only rely on the few families who grow wheat, I am afraid that they will not be able to handle it at all!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
