Chapter 416 Harvesting Rice and Celebrating the Harvest
Since moving to a new home, today is the busiest day in the entire Dahuang Mountain.
Everyone is sharpening their knives and preparing for a big fight.
An army of nearly a hundred people gathered in the square, preparing various tools, and everyone had a smile on their face.
"Brother, what are they doing?"
Xiao Quting stood next to Zhang Shengli, holding a corn in her hand, asking Zhang Shengli while gnawing.
"Harvest rice!"
Zhang Shengli touched Xiao Quting's head and said: "Remember this day, everyone will harvest rice together on this day every year."
How could Xiao Quting know this? She nodded while eating.
"She is so young, what does she know?" Tang Rou walked over with a sickle in her hand and a hat on her head.
When he came to Xiao Quting's side, he threw the sickle to Zhang Shengli and picked up Xiao Quting.
"Let's go, senior sister will take you to walk around the fields and smell the fragrance of the rice."
As soon as Tang Rou stepped forward, Zhang Shengli followed closely behind with a sickle in hand.
At this time, many people have already started to take action.
Holding sickles in hand, several people carried a large wooden box and walked excitedly to the fields.
The golden rice fields are very spectacular at a glance.
Someone directs, someone takes action, almost everyone has something to do, even Qu Feng, who is in a wheelchair, also participates in the action.
"Daddy, here!" Xiao Quting was hugged by Tang Rou and shouted excitedly to Qu Feng, who was harvesting rice in the distance.
Sitting in a wheelchair and cutting rice, Zhang Shengli frowned as he watched.
If it were placed at Yuelong Villa, he would definitely stop the other party from doing this.
Because if you do this, you will harvest rice and waste spiritual stones.
But this is a wilderness, a world where food is more valuable than gold, so he has nothing to say about Qu Feng's approach.
Some people are responsible for harvesting, some are responsible for transporting, and some are responsible for slamming the rice into the wooden box.
It was a hot day, everyone was sweating, but no one complained.
"Boss, this harvest is simply amazing."
Cang Shi came out of nowhere, holding a sickle and wiping the sweat from his forehead, with an excited look on his face.
"Is this enough?" Zhang Shengli shook his head.
"In another two years, the harvest will only be better, but this is the first time I've planted it, and it's already good enough."
Ha ha……
Cang Shi laughed, stopped chatting with Zhang Shengli, and continued to work on his own.
Zhang Shengli was also in a very good mood. While harvesting with others, he also teased Xiao Quting from time to time.
"Boss, how about we designate today as Harvest Day, and we will celebrate today every year in the future. What do you think?"
Gu Xuan stood up in the distance and shouted towards Zhang Shengli.
Before Zhang Shengli could answer, others had already started to boo.
"Yes, we will celebrate today every year from now on."
"I think it's okay. Let's harvest rice to celebrate the harvest. How about we designate today as the harvest day?"
Zhang Shengli listened to these words, looked at the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, and nodded subconsciously.
This was the first time since he came to the wilderness that he saw everyone so happy, with such clean smiles on their faces, and there was no way to fake it.
Just when everyone was excited and full of energy, a man ran from the bottom of the mountain.
"My lord, Shi Jin from Dahuang City wants to see you!"
"Shi Jin?"
Zhang Shengli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This old guy is quite good at picking the time and bringing him here directly."
There's no need to ask. As soon as Zhang Shengli finished speaking, Shi Jin's figure had already appeared halfway up the mountain.
"Haha...Brother Sheng, I came here uninvited today, are you going to ignore the meal?"
Although Shi Jin looks like an old man, his skills are very strong. He can go from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain in just a few breaths.
"If I said no matter what, would you just leave like that?" Zhang Shengli didn't even raise his head, and kept moving his hands, harvesting one after another.
Shi Jin smiled from ear to ear.
"Of course I won't leave like this." As he said that, he looked around the mountain.
“How much can your rice fields harvest at one time?”
Zhang Shengli said angrily: "Not much, just enough to eat!"
"Brother, are you kidding me? I saw it when I came here just now. It's all over the mountains and plains. With your harvest, right this time it will be enough for you to eat for a whole year?"
Zhang Shengli curled his lips.
This is Shi Jin's hypocrisy. He clearly came with a purpose, but he insisted on rambling, but he was unwilling to explain his purpose.
"We can't sell it to you this time, we want to keep the seeds."
"How many seeds do we need?" Shi Jin came to a large wooden box, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice that had not yet been shelled and examined it.
"Hey! Your rice is so good."
"Where's the good?"
"Full! Much more filling than what we eat now."
Zhang Shengli didn't want to tease him too much. He straightened up, handed the sickle in his hand to the hand of the person next to him, picked up Shi Jin and walked to the side.
"Please explain to me, what price will you give for this stone of rice?"
Shi Jin rolled his eyes and was about to make a quotation when Zhang Shengli spoke again.
"It can only be higher than others, not lower. As you just said, our rice is good and full."
have to!
Shi Jin wished he could slap his ears with melon seeds.
"The price is easy to negotiate. As long as you are willing to sell it, I will definitely offer you the highest price to satisfy you."
Zhang Shengli nodded: "I still believe in you, otherwise, who wouldn't sell it to me? Why would I sell it to you? But I'm going to say something ugly in front of you, you can do whatever you want with this rice, but you can't sell it to me.
enemy."
Shi Jin quickly waved his hand: "You can rest assured on this, we don't have enough to eat ourselves, how can we sell it to others."
"I'm talking about the future."
"It will be like this in the future. Can you grow more rice than we can eat in the future?"
Zhang Shengli stared at Shi Jin: "This is hard to say. As long as you can guarantee this, the deal will be settled."
Shi Jin took a deep look at Zhang Shengli and took a deep breath.
"Okay, I can promise you this."
Zhang Shengli laughed loudly, pulled Shi Jin and said, "Come on, I'll take you to try the new varieties I have here."
Shi Jin was curious and hurriedly followed Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli came to Xiao Quting's side.
At this time, Xiao Quting was standing next to Qu Feng, holding a piece of corn with her only hand and still nibbling it bit by bit.
"Xiao Ting'er!"
"Big brother!" Xiao Quting said and rushed towards Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli picked him up.
"Give me some of your corn."
As soon as she said this, Xiao Quting didn't hesitate and handed over the whole thing.
Zhang Shengli laughed and split the corn into two. The half that Xiao Quting had chewed was handed back to her hand, and the other half was handed to Shi Jin.
"Try it first!"
Shi Jin was curious, but when he saw the other half of the corn still stained with saliva in Xiao Quting's hand, he hesitated.
"You can taste it if you want. It's something a child has eaten and it's not dirty."
