Chapter 190 Harvesting Wheat

For harvesting, the combine harvester is still the fastest.

A single harvester only cuts the wheat, but it still requires manpower to pull it out, and it also requires people to thresh the wheat.

Not only Bai Baoshan could see it, but the factory leaders could see it, the department leaders could see it, the farmers could see it, and even the students could see it.

Trucks following the combine harvesters traveled back and forth across the river, unloading truckloads of grain and then returning.

The wheat needs to be dried, but it has to be packed and then transported to other places.

Everything has been planned, Bai Baoshan doesn't need to do anything.

I just took a few photos from time to time, ran to Qiao Yun and took a lot of photos of her.

With the constant calls of "Brother Bai", Bai Baoshan also took a few photos of the other girls.

When harvesting wheat, we don’t have lunch at 11 o’clock, but at 12 o’clock.

In one morning, several hundred people harvested almost half of the 300 acres of land here. The main reason was that some time was wasted in the beginning.

We can't continue working until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise the sun will be too strong.

As for the time they would finish working, several old men calculated that if nothing unexpected happened today, all the more than 300 acres of crops here could be harvested today.

As for the other side, it will probably take another day.

Tomorrow we will all go to the other side, finish the harvest as soon as possible, then plow the land and spread fertilizer, and then we can plant autumn products.

Corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and some places where they are difficult to grow are all planted with winter melon and pumpkin.

Bai Baoshan took a look around and went to the two harvesters.

One harvester can harvest 25 to 30 acres per hour, which is very good. Unlike in later generations, it can harvest 2 to 2 acres per hour. Even these acres of land are not enough for two harvesters to harvest in a day.

In this era, these 25 acres are already considered a magical artifact.

Although it is an imitation, it is still an improvement.

Bai Baoshan took a few photos of these two big cameras.

I looked at the place where the harvester passed, and it was okay.

No wheat was wasted.

When Bai Baoshan returned to the wheat field, he saw a busy scene everywhere.

Most of the employees at the steel mill joined the team loading grain.

A few fewer people like machines, following the harvesters and combine harvesters.

I also took a few photos of the busy scene.

I guess few people have seen the scene of harvesting wheat before.

No one would ask why you don't drive a Rolls-Royce to harvest wheat, right?

The ten buckets of mung bean and sour plum soup are almost empty.

I looked at my watch and it was already 11:50.

Bai Baoshan waved to a few people and asked them to rest, pack up and gather together, as dinner would be served soon.

Several people immediately separated and ran towards the crowd.

With shouts, the harvester stopped.

The trucks loading wheat and the trucks loading bags all stopped.

Someone ran towards the river, there was one, and there were countless others.

Fortunately, the river is flowing and there is much more water than last year.

A few others reached the corner, told someone to let them go for a walk, then jumped into the river with a splash, rinsed themselves and climbed out, feeling refreshed. They didn't wash for a while longer because they were afraid of missing the meal.

Many women were the same, with bright eyes. After a few men who were bathing left, the women occupied the turning point. There were people guarding both ends, and the women took off their clothes and went into the water.

At around 12:10, several carts finally arrived.

Buckets of greasy pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew, steamed buns, rice, and kelp and bone soup.

Eating oily foods at ordinary times can easily cause diarrhea, but if you eat them while working, you will definitely not have diarrhea, but instead it will make your body stronger.

One team for women, one team for men, and one team for students.

There are no leaders here. Workers and farmers are all the same. Each person has a large bowl with a big spoonful of rice, two spoonfuls of vegetables on top, and two steamed buns. After they finish eating, they can have more.

For soup, there is a small bowl on the side of the car.

After getting their meal, people went to the shade of the trees nearby, and sat on the ground in groups of several people. Some knew them, some didn’t, and they ate and chatted.

It seems that the sun is not so scorching anymore.

Bai Baoshan also had a meal, but he didn't eat that much. He just had rice and stew.

Qiao Yun, carrying a small bowl of rice, ran happily to find Bai Baoshan, followed by several classmates, of course, both boys and girls.

Even her teacher, the plump teacher Tao, whom she had met once, followed.

"elder brother."

"Are you tired? Come and sit here," Bai Baoshan said, making room on a tree trunk. The little girl was thin, so she squeezed in with Bai Baoshan and sat down.

A group of classmates sat down in a circle. Fortunately, there was grass here so there was no dust flying around.

"Teacher Tao, I've been busy all morning and didn't even say hello to you. I'm sorry for neglecting you. Thank you for coming." Bai Baoshan said.

"Comrade Bai, this is what we should do. I didn't expect to have such a good meal."

“Everyone came to help, and that’s what we should do.

Students, please don’t be polite and eat as much as you want. Just don’t eat too much until you can’t walk in the afternoon.” Bai Baoshan made a little joke.

A group of classmates started laughing.

Eating, talking and laughing.

What a harvest scene.

According to the time calculation, we can start working at 3 o'clock.

Many people found a cool place and lay down comfortably on the ground, soon falling into a deep sleep.

As for the students, Bai Baoshan took them to a cool warehouse in the factory to rest.

Qiao Yun followed him back to the office and occupied the bed where Bai Baoshan usually slept.

Of course, a girl from your own family should be pampered.

Start work on time at 3 pm.

The canteen prepared another 10 buckets of mung bean and sour plum soup.

If you have a kettle, fill it up.

As the machines started to work, the scene became bustling with activity.

All the wheat was transported to several large squares in the factory. The dried wheat could be stored after being dried for three days.

During the break, several village chiefs came over.

"Hey... Leader Bai, we want to ask if what you said is true."

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Leader Bai, you can't fool us about this seed thing."

Bai Baoshan reacted and judging from their expressions, he realized that they had been holding it in for the entire morning. It was rare that they came to ask now.

"Uncles, when have I ever lied to you? So, how many seeds do you need? Tell me before you leave. I'll make the decision. You can take them away first, 2 for 1, and then bring them back after you've harvested the wheat." Bai Baoshan said again.

"Leader Bai, you are a good person."

The village heads were so enthusiastic that Bai Baoshan returned to his office and wrote a contract for grain exchange.

The village exchanged 2 kilograms of ordinary wheat for 1 kilogram of selected wheat seeds from the steel mill.

It also tells you how to plant and when to water. If you follow this, you can guarantee the yield will be over 650 kilograms.

The village heads who received the contracts signed them quickly. Bai Baoshan's advice to them was to plant 20 kilograms of seeds per acre, not too sparse or too dense.

Let them go back and think about it, because when it comes to changing seeds, the village chief often cannot figure it out at a glance.

It was soon 6:300 in the afternoon. All acres of land on this side of the river had been harvested, and Bai Baoshan asked the children to stop.

It’s getting late, they should go home.

At this time, someone from the cafeteria pushed a cart over.

A few buckets of boiled eggs, just enough for one person.

But as long as the child has.

No one else said anything. They couldn't snatch food from the children.

But Bai Baoshan was not so stingy. The workers had a dinner of braised pork with potatoes, hot and sour cabbage, rice and steamed buns made of Sanhe noodles.

This is enough.

I didn't harvest the wheat, and I didn't put in much effort. Just pulling the wheat did require some effort, but it wasn't a big deal.

Those who stayed behind worked until 10 o'clock in the evening. When they could no longer see anything, they all stopped and each had another bowl of meat noodle soup.

As for sleeping, there were not so many requirements. They would just open a warehouse and lie down inside. Some would even directly spread some straw and fall into a deep sleep.

Although Bai Baoshan didn't do any work that day, he was still very tired.

I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and got home at 11 o'clock in the evening.

There is still one more day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be almost the same.

I got home, washed up, and fell asleep.
