Chapter 223 Harvesting Corn

For this sesame, besides some white sesame, Wei Jingze also planted some black sesame at home. The black sesame is less than the white sesame, and the white sesame is usually used more often.Sesame is generally used to make tea, and sometimes it can be used as a decoration for making some snacks, but it is not very useful.

Master Yingqi explained to Wei Jingze: "Help me get some sesame seeds, dry them in the sun, and then put them away. If there are no insects and no humidity, a ventilated place."

Wei Jingze asked curiously, "What are you trying to do?"

Master Yingqi lowered his voice and said, "I'll just tell you about this. You clean the sesame seeds well. When we cook hot pot in winter, make sesame paste yourself. That will be delicious!"

Wei Jingze felt that his saliva was about to drop: "Then when shall we make hot pot?"

Master Yingqi knocked on his head: "It's still summer, so you want to eat hot pot? No way!"

Wei Jingze touched the back of his head, Master Yingqi really didn't save any effort at all, he knocked it down like this, tears of pain almost came out, and it was hard for Chen Han to be knocked on the head like this every now and then.

Even though the chestnuts were crushed by Master Yingqi, Wei Jingze honestly went to get sesame seeds for others.

The chopped sesame trees remove the leaves, bundle them into bundles, and hang them in a ventilated and rain-sheltered place outdoors. After they are naturally air-dried, they explode the fruit pods, and then take them off and put them on a bamboo strip plate or Beat on the rain cloth to knock out all the grains, and then put it outside to bask in the sun for a few days, then sieve the sesame seeds several times to remove impurities and dregs, and then find something to pack it up and put it away In the storage room, when it was winter, Master Yingqi said that he wanted to eat hot pot, so he took it out and made sesame sauce first.

This series of work cannot be done in one day. In August, Wei Jingze only tied up the sesame seeds and hung them up. The next big thing was harvesting corn.

There are more than ten acres of corn planted at home. It is not difficult to plant and take care of the corn, and fertilization is not like rapeseed, which is inconvenient when it grows up. After many times, I have to make corn stewed pork ribs at home, and use them in restaurants. This probably uses up an acre or two of corn. The old man always chops corn stalks in the evening when the sun goes down and it is still dark. , this is still very good for supper for cattle.

When Wei Jingze started harvesting corn, the corn was old and could only be used as feed for pigs, cattle, chickens, etc., or ground into flour to make corn flour, so that people could eat it.

Corn is a very productive crop. It only has more than ten acres, but it can be eaten by pigs for more than half a year. It is almost as good as sweet potatoes. Wei Jingze also likes this kind of crop that makes a lot of money silently.

Wei Jingze is about to start harvesting corn, and everyone is ready to move: "Let's go to the corn field with you!"

Wei Jingze was full of disapproval: "Where is the cornfield a place to play? Where can I not play if I want to play?"

The person next to him hastily smoothed things over and said, "It's because he can't speak, of course he's not playing, he's here to help you! Help you break the corn and clean up the corn stalks!"

The corn stalks are fine, and the harvester can also harvest them. After driving there, all the corn stalks can be cut down, and they can be bundled directly, but breaking the corn still requires manual breaking.

Wei Jingze knew where these people could work. Even if they really wanted to help, they would not be able to help much. The reason is very simple. These people are not suitable for doing farm work, like Wei Jingze himself, he only has a year of study before he is considered useful. It looks good, but the old man needs to grasp what to do when something happens in the field, so as not to miss the farming season.These guests usually eat and drink at home and play in the mountains and rivers, but working in the fields is probably not enough.

Shan Jingfeng dressed himself quickly and said, "Uncle Ozawa, I'll go with you!"

"Aren't you going to see animals with Uncle Nong today?"

This guy is Li Xuenong's follower!His summer vacation diary is simply a encyclopedia of farming techniques, full of agricultural knowledge taught to him by Li Xuenong, and the most words in it are "Uncle Xuenong said". It is estimated that when the teacher opened his diary, his eyes were full of these words.Shan Zeyuan also joked that his son's diary is the class notes.

Shan Jingfeng said: "Uncle Xuenong has his own business today, so I can't follow him."

This kid Wei Jingze still finds it rare, he is not coquettish at all, he is very serious in everything he does, and he is not afraid of being dirty or tired. This is definitely the most stark contrast with Wei Jingze's cousin.

"Okay, come with me. If you are tired, you can go to a cool place to rest and drink plenty of water, remember?"

Shan Jingfeng nodded obediently.

The rest of the people must follow, Wei Jingze thought, anyway, they are asking for trouble, if they can't take it anymore, they just come back when the time comes, so he also nodded, let everyone who wants to go go .

In order to take care of everyone, Wei Jingze still chooses to work in cooler mornings and evenings as much as possible. At noon, Wei Jingze himself has to hide and rest!

After greeting Jiang Yanzong, Wei Jingze took everyone to collect corn.

Next to the corn field is a watermelon field. Although there are still many watermelons in the watermelon field, Wei Jingze, who has not pollinated melons for a long time, knows very well that this is the last batch of watermelons in the watermelon field. After a few days, Watermelon can no longer be sold outside, it can only meet the needs of my own family.

As Wei Jingze expected, many people felt that the heat was unbearable after working for a while. Not to mention the edges of the corn leaves would make them feel hot, and even the uneven ground made them feel a little difficult to adapt to. The grass on the ground also made them feel stumbling. After working for a long time, they picked a few corns. The main reason was that they didn't master the skills of breaking the corn, and sometimes they broke the corn stalks.

Seeing everyone's unexpected surprises, Wei Jingze found it very funny.

Some people just can't rely on this to make a living, so it's not easy to do this job.

In the following time, some people couldn't hold on anymore, so they went back one after another, and they all sighed, it's not easy to do farm work!

Wei Jingze agreed very much, of course it is not easy to do farm work!Otherwise, why do people nowadays like to run to the city?

In the end, there were only a few people left to help Wei Jingze with his work.

After the corn was broken off, it was packed in baskets. Wei Jingze took it home with a tricycle and dried it on the concrete floor in front of the house. The dried corn had to be broken off to preserve it.

The main force of the work is also Wei Jingze. Everyone has been busy for a day, but they have only reclaimed more than two acres of land, and there is still more than half of it!

The work is slow but there is no way to do it. It seems that there is really no machine that can help with breaking the corn.

While Wei Jingze was busy, he received a call from the hospital, saying that the dogs had been trained and Wei Jingze could go to adopt them.

Wei Jingze counted the time, and it has been several months, but he has selected more than ten dogs, have they all been trained?

After making an appointment with the other party to pick up the dog, Wei Jingze decided to take Jiang Yanzong with him.

Hearing that the dog has been trained, Jiang Yanzong changed his words: "He can do such a good thing for so long, and there are no bad rumors about training the dog, which shows that he still has his own. It's up to you."

Wei Jingze felt that Jiang Yanzong might feel that he was short-handed, and the dog was given to him for free, and he also helped with training for free.

"If you have the ability, let's bring the dog back to have a look. If the dog can't pass the test, we can train it again. We still have Dafeng to help!"

When Dafeng heard Wei Jingze talking about himself, he stuck his head in and let out a bark, as if he was in solidarity with Wei Jingze.

The pet hospital didn't ask for money, and didn't accept donations. Wei Jingze felt that there were so many good breeds of dogs for nothing, so he felt a little sorry, so he chose some watermelons and the like, as a thank you gift for them.And starting from next year, the fruit trees will be able to bear fruit, and it will be a thank you gift to give some to others at that time.

Wei Jingze has always insisted on being a human being like this. If you get benefits from others, you must repay favors if you can. You can always find a place to repay them. But if you want to bully yourself and take advantage of yourself, it is not so easy.

Before picking up the dogs, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done, such as the kennels, the work content and distribution of the dogs, etc. Wei Jingze adopted those dogs mainly to prevent thieves in the fruit forest. The area of ​​the fruit forest is not small, so more than ten Not many dogs are divided into different areas. Let the dogs guard in shifts. When the work training achieves the effect, there must be no problem in preventing theft.

Since dogs work, they have to eat and drink like employees. After all, dogs don’t receive wages, so they only pursue a little bit. Wei Jingze decided to set up the dog’s resting place at home, so that the dogs can feel a little bit more about it. The sense of belonging, let them know the family, the old man has no objection.

"It's just that it will be a little troublesome for people who are afraid of dogs to come to the door in the future."

Wei Jingze said: "The kennels are placed outside the pigsty, and you don't have to use the gate to get in and out. You can watch the pigs and ducks behind you, and avoid inconvenience to people who are afraid of dogs."

The old man thought it was good, and Jiang Yanzong also thought it was okay, and the window of the study room faced the back, so you could see the kennel when you looked up, so you could quickly find out what happened.

After discussing the dog issue, everyone agreed that there was no problem, so Wei Jingze and Jiang Yanzong drove a truck to the city to pick up their dog.

However, Wei Jingze brought Jiang Yanzong to the city a little earlier, and before picking up the dog, the two of them found a place to sit, had a drink, and it was considered an appointment.

But in this hot day, there is no good place to go, the sun is very hot outside, and places with air conditioning are mainly shopping malls and the like. Movie theaters are good, but it’s just that during the movie protection month, there are no movies that Jiang Yanzong can watch, so The two sat outside for a while, just sitting quietly, looking at each other and looking out the window, and it felt good.
