As soon as the dew fell in the morning, the corn-collecting team at Lian Man'er's house had arrived at the site to read the full text. Zhang Qingshan received the message from Zhang, leaving only Li with a few children from his family to visit the house. He himself brought his eldest son Zhang Qingnian, his eldest daughter-in-law Wang, his oldest son Zhang Liunian, his oldest son daughter-in-law Hu, and his eldest granddaughter Zhang Caiyun arrived one night in advance.

All the adult laborers of the Zhang family came. In addition to a cart pulled by two big green mules from their own house, Zhang Qingshan also borrowed another cart.

Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing and his son also rushed into a big cart.

Then there are the six members of Lian Man'er's family, the three members of Lian Shouli's family, and the calf cart of Lian Man'er's family.

"After the autumn is over, I have to discuss with your grandpa, and help us buy two big green mules, and we can change a big cart." Looking at the other three big carts, Lian Shouxin was a little envious, and said to Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi who were following him.

This seemed to be the first time Lian Shouxin took the initiative to spend money to buy large-scale property, and Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile.

The big guy did not start work immediately, but stood on the ground and spoke. Lian Man turned his head from time to time to look at the official road. Shen Liuhui's message said that he would send someone over, and they had to wait until the Shen Liu's people came before starting work to collect corn.

"When did you say that, did you arrive?" Zhang Qingshan asked.

"Just talk about the person coming, not the time." Lian Shouxin replied.

Lian Man'er only set the date in the letter sent by someone, but as for the time, it is difficult to die. After all, the distance between the city of the thirty-li Yingzi is not close. If he goes to the fields to work early in the morning according to the habits of their farmers, then Shen Liu and the others will have to get up in the middle of the night. This has to be said to be a fast train and a fast horse.

For example, the last time Shen Liu came to collect sweet potatoes, and he arrived before noon. That time, he heard from Shen Xiaopang that they should have set off from the Fucheng in the middle of the night.

With Shen Liu's identity, family affairs and business affairs, not talking about the daily affairs, it would be almost the same. At this time, we have to rely on his convenience.

Everyone was talking and saw smoke and dust rolling on the official road, and a team of more than a dozen people rushed to the blink of an eye.

"Here, come." The guy couldn't help but shout.

The horse team got closer and slowed down, then turned off the path from the official road, and in a short while, they arrived in front of them. They dismounted one after another.

A dozen people were all strong young men in the age of Tyuro, dressed in a military academy. They came over alone and greeted Lian Shouxin.

Lian Man'er then recognized that this person was Shen Liu's confidant. He met Shen Liu several times. Zhang Qianhu was with him.

"...Sixth Master has something to do, so he can't come today. I'll send us to help harvest corn."

Zhang Qianhu relayed Shen Liu's instructions, saying that Shen Liu suddenly had something to do and could not get rid of himself. He had to wait five days before Shen Liu had time to come when he was fetching corn.

Lian Man'er thought about it and thought it was good. Shen Liu was coming because he was concerned about whether the yield per mu of corn was as high as her budget. Now he could not get the exact number. It would be easier to weigh the corn kernels.

Asking Zhang Qianhu to bring people to help harvest corn was also very considerate. There were more than a dozen strong laborers all at once, and the work that was originally expected to be completed in a few days was probably completed in one day.

Zhang Qianhu said again, he didn't understand how to collect corn, and he followed Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er's instructions.

Shen Liu sent strong laborers, and even Man'er didn't plan to be polite. She divided everyone into four groups, and the first group was responsible for splitting corn. Each of these people held a sack in his hand and walked along the ditch. One person was responsible for two ridges, chopping off the corn cob on each corn and putting it into a bag.

When the corn in the bag could not be held, they poured the corn inside together and handed it over to the next group of people to deal with it.

The second group of people does not have to follow the ridges. They are responsible for handling the corn cobs split by the first group of people. That is, they strip off the corn rinds and leave only the corn cobs. Then, they simply sort these corn cobs, that is, separate the corn cobs from those with bad quality, such as the corn kernels that are not full, or the corn cobs are small, and then put them in bags and handed them to the third group of people.

The third group of people was responsible for driving the big truck and transporting the bags of corn to the threshing farm of the Lian family.

There was also a fourth group of people who were responsible for inspecting and harvesting corn stalks that had split the corn cobs.

Because there are many labor and the division of labor and cooperation are very reasonable, the corn harvesting speed is very fast.

Lian Man'er followed the first batch of corn to the threshing farm at her own threshing farm. In addition to the corn cob, she also loaded two bundles of corn stalks.

When he arrived at the threshing ground, Lian Man'er stopped Lian Shouxin and did not let him unload the corn first. Instead, he unloaded two bundles of corn stalks. The corn stalks were the thickest and strongest I picked in the field just now, and the leaves were all clean, leaving the bare bars.

"Dad, we have to find two thick hemp ropes." Lian Man'er said to Lian Shou.

"Man'er, what are you planning to do?" Lian Shouxin asked.

"Dad, the corn cobs are all wet, so we have to dry them. Just spread them down the ground, occupying space, and drying them slowly. Let's use this corn stalk to surround a corn grate and dry them quickly." Lian Man'er said.

This is the method she used to dry corn in her previous life.

"This is the reason." Lian Shouxin is an old farmer. He knows everything. After hearing Lian Man'er say this, he understands it.

Soon, Lian Shuixin found two thick hemp ropes. Together with Zhang Qingnian and Zhang Liunian, he weave corn stalks with hemp ropes. Just like weaving rainproof curtains with sorghum stalks, the two ends must be firmly connected together to form a cylindrical shape, and stand up to be a corn fence.

Then pour the corn cobs into the grille and stack them evenly so as not to tilt the grille. In this way, the dry corn cobs have a larger area in contact with the air and can be dried in a shorter time.

Corn with good quality and corn with different quality are also separated to dry.

Lian Man'er had her plans in mind, and she would definitely sell the corns in her family. She could be used as corn seeds. She did not plan to sell them with different tastes, but planned to keep them at home to eat them.

When the third corn slab was established, people from Jinyang County and Liaodong Prefecture also arrived. Among them, Lian Man'er knew Lord Li, who came last time, and the magistrate of Jinyang County.

These people observed the process of harvesting corn, and some officials quickly recorded something with paper and pen.

About twenty acres of corn were harvested in just one morning, and Zhang Qianhu also helped to harvest most of the sorghum and millet from Man'er's house.

Looking at the neatly arranged corn fences, sorghum piles, millet piles, corn stalks, sorghum straws and millet straws on the threshing farm, Lian Man'er couldn't help but sigh that there are so many people and great power.

Zhang and Lian Zhier came back from the field one step earlier. Wu Yugui sent a message to his family, and Wang brought Wu Jiayu to help with cooking.

They are all strong laborers and do physical work. At lunch, Lian Man'er's house prepared very rich and affordable. They prepared four tables of meals in total, and each table prepared a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, vermicelli, tofu stewed carp, roast goose, and elbow sauce. In addition, five stir-fry dishes and four cold dishes were prepared. The staple food was arranged with steamed buns with white rice and white flour.

When I finished work at noon and invited Zhang Qianhu to have a meal, something went wrong.

"The military order is like a mountain. The Sixth Master ordered to go back immediately after finishing work and not bother the place." Zhang Qianhu refused to come for dinner, saying that he would go back and report his life immediately.

Zhang Qianhu said that military orders were like mountains, and it was difficult for Lian to keep trust. He felt sorry for not leaving Zhang Qianhu and others to have a meal. However, he was unwilling to make Zhang Qianhu violate the military orders.

In front of Lian's family, Zhang Qianhu always called Shen Liu Master Liu. Now that military orders are like mountains, Zhang Qianhu still called Liu Master Liu Master Liu. Lian Man'er blinked. Does this mean that Zhang Qianhu is both Shen Liu's confidant. Moreover, this place that cannot be bothered is actually still room for negotiation?

"Mr. Qianhu, isn't there a saying that before the troops move, food and grass will come first? He also said that the emperor's family is not short of hungry soldiers. It's time for dinner, and the Sixth Master will not let you eat, right?" Lian Man'er said with a smile.

When Zhang Qianhu heard Lian Man'er say this, he couldn't help laughing, and the soldiers behind him also laughed.

"This little girl speaks one by one."

"There are no special preparations, it's just home-cooked meals. Our village households are so particular about helping people. They have to eat, or they just look down on the owner." Lian Man'er continued, "Master Qianhu, you just said that the Sixth Master's orders will follow our arrangements for everything."

"Then let's follow Miss Lian's orders." Zhang Qianhu clasped his fists at Lian Man'er and smiled.

The banquet was arranged in the shop, and the place was spacious and it should be complete. Even Shouxin brought the wine over, but was stopped by Zhang Qianhu.

"You can eat rice, but you can't drink." Zhang Qianhu's attitude this time was very firm.

Even Shouxin knew that they did have military discipline, and that a group of people rode back drunk and rode back riding horses was not right, so they gave up.

After dinner, Zhang Qianhu didn't leave immediately. He followed Lian Shouxin and others to the ground, helping to collect peanuts, soybeans, etc., and then made an appointment with Lian Man'er to make corn before saying goodbye.

After five days, the corn should be dried to the point where it can be beaten. At that time, the yield is just right.

Zhang Qianhu left, and Lian Man'er, the family, worked in the field for a while, and until the evening was about to finish work.

There are only fifty-one acres of land in total. If Lian Man'er's family collects it themselves, it will probably take six or seven days. Even if Lian Shouli's family and the Wu family and Zhang Qingshan's family come to help, they will have to take two or three days, because the dozen or so strong labors brought by Zhang Qianhu will be collected in just one day.

I expected that for the sake of Hu Qiu, my waist and legs were sore, and my hands and feet were blisters, and even Man'er Yiyi stood flutteringly on the threshing ground, making up his mind.

You have to make more money, hire a job, and be a small landlord with full-time income!
