Chapter 148 Like a person in a famine year
The group of people went to a nearby banker's land, which was about an acre.
I harvested sweet potatoes in late autumn and left them empty during the winter, planning to plant potatoes in spring.
Loosen the soil now and let the morning frost moisten the buried soil. It will be softer next year.
If you dig with a hoe, hoe after hoe, you can finish digging in about three hours.
If it can be completed within half an hour using a scarifier, it is worth promoting.
"How about I demonstrate it to you?" Xiao Qiuming placed the two pieces of machinery beside the ridge and looked at Mo Youzhu.
Now she is a student at a prestigious university, so she is very expensive!
Farm work is no longer suitable for her.
But Mo Youzhu said, "No, Uncle Xiao, I want to try it myself."
With that said, he dragged the scarifier in front of him and started to wind it up.
It took about a few minutes before it was full.
Miraculously, the entire Yankou Village appeared here at this moment, some standing on the hillside, and some directly surrounding them.
His eyes fell on the machine in Mo Youzhu's hand.
Most people are skeptical and don't believe that such a lightweight thing can really replace human labor.
In a corner, she saw Qin Xudong's figure.
His clothes were actually patched, and his rather handsome face was lifeless, so thin that his cheekbones popped out.
It seems that if you want to eat Mo Xiulan's soft rice, it is not that delicious.
It's impossible for their family to spend money to buy him clothes, and giving him living expenses would probably only make him starve to death.
In his previous life, Qin Xudong was so high-spirited and well-dressed every time he went out because of the money earned by Mo Youzhu.
She also eats well and has a fair and clean face, unlike now.
Like people in times of famine.
Not far from him was Mo Xiulan's figure. Her complexion was not very good, and she seemed to have freckles at the corners of her eyes.
If I am not mistaken, this is a spot that only married women tend to have.
Perhaps this is the sequelae of eating the forbidden fruit early!
Accidentally infected by bacteria, or pregnant, had to have an abortion, and the root cause of the disease was left due to poor nutrition.
Qin Xudong's eyes were almost glued to Mo Youzhu.
She looked even more beautiful, even if the school beauties on the university campus were compared to her, they would be compared to rouge and vulgar pink.
The most important thing is that she and Sanniang seem to be more impressive than half a year ago, and they may have made a fortune in the capital again.
Otherwise, I would not buy the machine and give it to the villagers for free.
He is really regretful now. If he and Youyou had been together, they would have given him some of the money they earned.
Now I don’t live like a beggar, begging my father and grandma for living expenses.
It's even more impossible to buy decent clothes. All I wear are clothes from high school.
If there is a hole, you can only patch it up and continue wearing it.
Looking at the glamorous Mo Youzhu, and then looking at his poor appearance, he felt ashamed of himself.
At the same time, Mo Xiulan's face was twisted with jealousy.
She felt that Mo Youzhu was just trying to impress people, but she wanted to see what kind of machines that didn't look good could really improve labor efficiency.
Just when he was thinking this, Mo Youzhu was already drying up and had a clockwork as power.
The gears on the scarifier began to rotate continuously, and at the same time, the soil underground turned up quickly.
While the roller was turning, Mo Youzhu clung to the handrail and ran forward. She really had to run, otherwise she would worry that she would not be able to keep up with the speed of the scarifier.
The spectators cheered involuntarily when they saw this scene.
"Oh, this thing can really replace a hoe, but it's many times faster."
"Where did you buy this? Is it expensive? I want to buy one too. My children haven't grown up yet, and I only have two people working to support a family of seven. It would be great to have something like this."
"I heard that Youyou bought it as a gift to our village. I don't know if every household has one."
"Oh, Yoyo is really promising.
She became successful, but she did not forget us poor folks.
Unlike some people who show off everywhere every day, they were admitted to university but actually brought shame to our village. "
Is it obvious who this statement refers to?
It took 15 minutes to complete one acre of land. At this time, the power generated by the above laws was coming to an end.
If you add in the time for adding the law strips, it will take 20 minutes, which is about ten times faster than digging bit by bit with a hoe.
The most important thing is that you are not tired at all, just follow the machine.
If you must improve it, add a stool to the machine in the next upgrade so that you can sit on it like a bicycle while working.
But that's only for relatively flat land.
If the slope is too steep, this is still the case, which is safer.
After trying out the scarifier, Mo Youzhu began to apply regulations on the lawn mower.
It was winter now, and there was no rice for her to cut, so she had to go to a lawn to cut thatch.
After trying it, I also exclaimed again and again.
After putting the machine away, Mo Youzhu asked, "Uncle Xiao, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved on these two machines?"
So far, she hasn't found any major shortcomings.
Xiao Qiuming thought for a while, "The blade of the lawnmower is a consumable, so it must be very smooth to cut when the blade is new.
But that’s not necessarily true if it becomes dull after use. It would be better if it could be removed and sharpened after being used for a period of time, or if the blade could be replaced at any time. "
"Uncle Xiao is right."
Mo Youzhu knelt down and disassembled it for him to see, "The blades of the lawn mower can indeed be removed. I will send you some spare blades later!"
"Oh! That's great. I'm just sorry that it cost you money.
These machines cost a lot of money! "
Xiao Qiuming rubbed his hands, looking very embarrassed.
This question is not easy for Mo Youzhu to answer. The current price is 100 yuan per piece, but sales have not started yet.
It is not convenient to disclose the establishment of the factory at the moment.
I can only say generously, "The extra money has already been spent. If I add some more blades, it will be nothing more than drizzle."
Xiao Qiuming nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then looked at the villagers watching and found that there were people from every house watching.
I originally planned to organize a meeting.
But now that Mo Youzhu and her daughter are present, I feel that it might be better to confirm the quota for sending machines.
"Since everyone is here today, I will say a few words."
Now all the villagers were extremely jealous. When they heard that the village chief wanted to speak, they quickly became quiet.
"The machine you just saw was bought by Youyou in the capital as a gift to our village. There are 15 sets in total, with three pieces in each set.
The portion is limited, and it is impossible for every family to get it. Youyou means that it should be given to families who have made great contributions to the village, or families with a small labor force.
Or extremely poor families.
However, this does not include the enemies of Yoyo's mother and daughter. "
When they heard this, the villagers looked at each other, secretly glad that they had no grudge against Mo Youzhu and her daughter.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the two Mo brothers.
Aren't they the enemies of mother and daughter?
At this moment, Qin Xudong's mother, Lin Fangfang, also arrived at the scene. She hurriedly ran to Mo Youzhu, and grabbed her sleeve, her snakeskin-like hands tightening like pliers.
She is actually only two or three years older than Wu Juanhong, but she is already gray-haired.
There are more wrinkles on her face than many women in their 60s and [-]s, and the clothes on her body have been patched so much that there is almost no trace of the original foundation.
