Chapter 519 Receive Modern Things
Su Wanwan felt that the villagers were right to think so. The price of these sweet potatoes and corn this year would definitely be lower than the first batch last year, but there was still a one-year bonus period.
So before the government issued the official quota, the villagers began to buy sweet potato seedlings and corn seeds from Su Wanwan in preparation for sowing.
Lord Zhao has not been in the village recently. He took his people to arrange the distribution of sweet potato seedlings.
The wheat grew well this year, and the grains were full. Looking at the bags of wheat being carried back, Su Wanwan also felt the joy of the harvest.
Shen Yuan has been tired for so many days in a row, and Su Wanwan feels sorry for him. Today, she made dinner by herself to celebrate the harvest.
The children have been working hard recently, picking wheat ears in the wheat fields all day long.
The dinner was very sumptuous and the whole family ate their fill.
After eating and drinking, they all sat in the yard and ate watermelon.
This is what Su Wanwan planted in her space. When she bought the seeds, the seller gave her a bag. She found it when she was packing up and scattered it on the ground.
Today she saw that they were ripe, so she picked two.
It's sandy and very sweet.
"Mom, this watermelon is so delicious and sweet."
Xiao Yue'er's face was covered with watermelon seeds from eating so much, but she couldn't stop eating.
There were watermelons in this era as well, but they were not called watermelons, they were called winter melons.
The winter melon is a rare fruit produced in the Western Regions. It is difficult to transport, so it is sold at a very high price here. Except for the rich and powerful, many people have never seen it.
Shen Yuan had also seen it before, otherwise if he gave it to someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't recognize it.
"Delicious, delicious. I declare that watermelon is my favorite fruit."
Xiao Yunyi wasn't much better, his face was covered with watermelon juice.
Shen Zhao was relatively gentle. He ate the seeds slowly and in small bites, spitting the seeds into his hands one by one, then took out a bowl and put the seeds in it.
"Sister-in-law, can we plant these seeds?"
It would be a shame not to grow such delicious fruit.
Su Wanwan nodded:
"Of course you can plant them, and you can keep the seeds."
Su Wanwan looked at the two children.
The children were more unrestrained in spitting out the seeds, directly into the bowl, and it seemed like they were competing to see who could spit more accurately.
Shen Yuan paused and looked at the ground on his side. There was not a single seed.
He swallowed the lump in his mouth awkwardly:
"I swallowed the seeds as well..."
Take a bite of this watermelon in the summer, which is chilled by my wife in the refrigerator in the space. It is icy and refreshing.
He ate it mouthful by mouthful, enjoying it so much that he didn't even think about spitting out the seeds!
Several people looked at him at the same time.
"Dad, you are amazing. You can actually swallow it without spitting out the seeds."
Xiao Yue'er was surprised.
But she couldn't swallow it.
Yun Yi just took a look and said nothing more, continuing to eat the watermelon.
I don’t care if dad spits out the seeds or not, this watermelon is so delicious that he has to eat a few more pieces.
After eating the watermelon, Shen Zhao got half a bowl of watermelon seeds, which he carefully collected.
The family was so full that they went to the yard to digest the food and discuss what to plant this year.
In the end, everyone reached a consensus to plant corn and sweet potatoes, including corn on the terraced fields.
The busy farming season had to continue, so the children went to bed early and Su Wanwan went to the space.
She had received the things that Tang Cheng sent her a while ago and placed them in a room.
Shen Yuan had been busy these past few days and was as tired as a cow. He fell asleep immediately and didn't go to check.
The wheat has been harvested and the fields have been plowed, so the matter has come to a temporary end.
Today, the two of them took those things out.
There is an instruction manual inside, which seems pretty simple.
Shen Yuan picked up a tranquilizer gun, held it in his hand, thought of the actions in the video, and pointed it at the door.
But he didn't fire, he just gestured.
"This thing is really useful. If used as a hidden weapon, it has a long range and great power."
There are only anesthetic needles in here. Looking at the weapons in the video, if they were replaced with bullets, he couldn't imagine how powerful they would be.
"There are only ten of them here, and they can only be fired once. The effect is different for different animals, but it can make animals unconscious for a longer time than a high-voltage electric baton, so you have to use them sparingly."
Su Wanwan was reading the instructions. A tiger could only be anesthetized for forty minutes.
If you use a high-voltage electric baton, the time will be shorter.
Shen Yuan listened to his wife's explanation and nodded:
"It's been long enough. A few minutes is enough for them to make another attack. But it seems that the electric fence is the best way to use it. We have to attract the beasts over and use it in conjunction with those tranquilizer guns or something."
Shen Yuan already had an idea.
We can't lure all the animals over there, but we certainly can't lure all of them over there.
Carry this electric baton and gun with you, and then deal with those scattered beasts.
"Yes, but it would be better if we knew how the other party controlled the beast. I think it must be the use of drugs."
Su Wanwan felt that if she knew about this kind of medicine, she might be able to make an antidote, so that animals would not go crazy and out of control, and generally would not actively attack humans.
Shen Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"My wife is right. There is no rush for this matter. I will have someone bring back a mad beast."
Su Wanwan nodded and said:
"If we can get the body of the mad beast, it would be better to let Doctor Liu examine it."
She seemed to have seen Doctor Liu helping his family harvest wheat in the village recently.
Doctor Liu is good at research and might be able to discover the secret of why wild animals go mad.
........
Shen Yuan's family's land was the last to be planted, including the terraced fields. At this time, it was already mid-June and the weather was very hot.
Lord Zhao still hasn't come back. The sweet potatoes and corn have all been planted, and he is worried.
The Daliushu Village had experience, but people in other places had no experience. Afraid that they would make mistakes, he took people to run around and check.
The Agriculture Bureau asked Li Zheng and the villagers to manage the vegetables, leaving only two people to keep accounts.
Of course, they all get paid.
The villagers' lives have returned to normal, but are still busy.
Most people are busy working in the vegetable fields of the Agriculture Bureau. At this season, the vegetables are almost ripe and need to be picked every day.
What makes the villagers even more happy is that the cotton planted by the Agriculture Bureau has already bloomed, and many of them have grown cotton buds.
The villagers worked harder and harder.
Next year they will also be able to grow cotton.
Some villagers work in a pig farm. The hundred pigs are fat and big, which looks very festive.
Of course, there are also people working in workshops, some raising chickens and ducks themselves, and one family even dug a pond to raise fish.
Even the elderly and children had work to do, either helping with packaging in the workshop, or making hemp ropes, or picking up coal slag.
Looking at it this way, it seems that there is not a single idle person in Daliushu Village, young or old!
Su Wanwan: It turns out that I am the only one with nothing to do o(╯□╰)o
Of course, the children only help out after school as they have to go to classes during the day.
On the second day of school after the busy farming season, Shen Yuan invited Mr. Meng to his home.
