Chapter 167 A great harvest(1/2)

 One hundred and eighty acres of land have matured one after another.

There is no way those thirty people can harvest quickly just by cultivating the land.

Call someone!

After a while, people from the territorial canteen, people from the logging factory, people from the metal smelting plant, and even people from the earth kiln came.

With their participation, the harvesting speed suddenly became faster.

Lin Zhensheng also joined in.

Before noon, the medium-sized corn thresher was already spinning, and each corn kernel was thrown out and transported to Li Zhiyuan's warehouse in batches.

By noon, the medium-sized threshing machine and grain windmill were in operation, and Lin Zhensheng also lit up the adobe drying tower at this time.

The drying tower needs to be preheated in advance.

After the wheat is collected, shelling is completed in the threshing machine, and the temperature in the adobe drying tower reaches the usage standard.

Lin Zhensheng had done this job before, and it could be said that he held it with his hands. He put all the wheat into the territorial warehouse, turned around and climbed to the top of the adobe drying tower.

You can really see far from the height. Although it is only a dozen meters high, you can have a panoramic view of the entire territory.

Citizens busy harvesting, big black horses galloping in the racecourse, ducks walking in the duck farm, and the neatly planned base camp.

Wow~

This is my territory.

Lin Zhensheng felt very proud for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Looking down, the citizens below placed the large wooden basket at the grain outlet and stretched out their thumbs to indicate to Lin Zhensheng that they were ready.

"Okay!"

"Then let's get started!"

The earth brick drying tower has been upgraded. Both in terms of workmanship and texture, it is much better than the previous earth brick drying tower.

Lin Zhensheng opened the top food inlet and immediately felt a heat wave coming towards him. But the heat wave was not directed at him, so it did not cause any damage.

Obviously, the interior of this adobe drying tower is designed, unlike the previous earthen drying tower, where you feel like your eyelashes are being rolled every time you open it.

Start quickly, the other farmland has not been confiscated yet.

Put your hand over the grain inlet and take out the wheat.

Suddenly, a large amount of wheat poured out of the territory's warehouse and poured into the adobe drying tower.

The high-temperature hot air rotates and jumps in the drying tower, driving the wheat to dance in it.

The continuous drying operation causes the moisture inside the wheat to disappear continuously. When it falls from the grain outlet into the large wooden basket, it will be warm and dry, making it suitable for storage.

Lin Zhensheng did not put down all the wheat at once, but always paid attention to the internal temperature of the adobe drying tower. If it was too high, the wheat would be mushy, and if it was too low, the wheat would not be fully water-permeable.

It can also be regarded as a technical job, slowly, one step at a time.

Needless to say, the efficiency of the soil drying tower is very high. Unexpectedly, the efficiency of the soil brick drying tower is even higher, the firepower is more durable, and the temperature is more stable.

Wheat grains bounce up and down among them, flying back and forth for a moment, before falling into the grain outlet. Citizens put them into baskets, transport them directly to the base camp, and put them on stone rollers.

Originally, after the wheat was dried, the adobe drying tower had to be turned off.

But Lin Zhensheng saw that it was still burning, and the internal temperature was still very suitable, so he felt that it would be a waste of coal to put it out directly, so he might as well do something else.

This immediately reminded him of chili peppers.

Chili peppers are red peppers that need to be dried and dehydrated when collected. I don’t know if they can be put into a drying tower. Anyway, they also need to be dehydrated. How slow would it be if they were just left in the sun?

So I put forward this suggestion.

It can be said to be amazingly imaginative and extremely bold.

It was rejected by everyone on the spot.

Chili peppers go to the drying tower? I guess they will be black and gray when they come down.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, the collection work was completed. The grinding, threshing, and transportation were all piled up in Li Zhiyuan's warehouse.

This is the first harvest after a long winter, and it is quite rich.

Thirty-six acres of corn yield more than five tons, and the yield per mu exceeds 140.

This is simply a bumper harvest. You must know that the upper limit of corn seed production capacity is only 150 kilograms per mu.

The results are gratifying.

Carrots are slightly inferior, only four and a half tons.

As for wheat flour, after shelling and grinding, there were only less than four tons in one trip.

The flax production capacity is quite satisfactory, with a yield of 50 kilograms per mu, totaling 1,800 kilograms.

Cotton is also pretty good, with a yield of 47 kilograms per mu and a harvest of 1,645 kilograms.

Finally, what surprised Lin Zhensheng was that the production capacity of peppers in just one acre of land was as high as 220 kilograms.

Is the output of this thing so high?

Lin Zhensheng couldn't help but look at the details of chili peppers. He didn't know it until he saw it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

Good guy, this is not its maximum productivity. Once planted, its yield per mu can reach 250 kilograms.

Yes.

A few days later, the apples entered the picking period.

After a winter of rest and recuperation, the apple trees began to exert their strength. The branches were full of hangings, and the output reached full capacity, totaling five tons.

So good!

Normally, the least amount of labor is used, but the output is not reduced at all.

Lin Zhensheng was so moved that if he hadn't been unable to buy apple saplings, he would have planted dozens more acres.

After this farming, the grain reserves in the territory's warehouse were greatly replenished. Lin Zhensheng didn't feel anything bad, but the cook felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed bit by bit, and the day of [Danger Alert] gradually arrived.

The old rule is to distribute supplies from top to bottom and wait silently.

Lin Zhensheng had just closed the door when Shengdongdong poked his head in and said, "You don't have a fireplace in your house, or what?"

"Brother, this doesn't save coal!"

"Am I short of this coal?"

"Brother, it's good to save a little." Sheng Dongdong showed a naive smile, closed the door, and sat aside with a smile and said: "I have been too busy this week, and I hit the back of my head with my feet. I just got some free time, so I came to see you."

When Lin Zhensheng heard this, he felt that there was something in his words. What did he mean? He raised his eyebrows and said: "Dongdong, as long as you have this intention, please don't take any action."

"What are you talking about?"

Sheng Dongdong rolled her eyes at him and defended: "The main reason is that there is no one in my house, so I came here just to gain some popularity."

"You run around every day and see more citizens than me, so you still need to come to my place to gain popularity?"

"None of them have the air of a king."

"Dongdong, do you have something to ask me for? Just tell me if you have something."

"No! How is that possible?"

"I'll ask you one last time. If you don't say it, you won't say it again."

With a smile on his face, Lin Zhensheng pointed at Shengdongdong and said meaningfully: "What do you want from me?"

"Cough."

Sheng Dongdong scratched his head. Knowing that he had been exposed, he felt very embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "I...I, don't I run around every day? I want to apply for a big dark horse."

After saying that, he was afraid that Lin Zhensheng would directly refuse, so he immediately raised his voice and said: "I know I can't ride a horse, but I can practice."

Harm~

Lin Zhensheng thought it was something big, but it turned out that he just wanted to ride a horse.

Ouch~ easy to handle!

Thinking about it, Dongdong travels to and from the base camp, Beishan and the jungle almost every day, and sometimes even goes to Zhongshan and Meishan for business trips. He always relies on his legs to walk, which is really a bit overwhelming at the end of the day.

"Okay! I'll tell the racecourse about this later."

Lin Zhensheng agreed immediately and said directly: "As for your riding skills, practice will make you perfect. Practice slowly and fall a few times and you will be fine."

"Brother Tuo."

Shengdongdong was very happy, her eyes were shining and her face was filled with joy.

"When you're done, you can go back."

When Lin Zhensheng saw Sheng Dongdong still sitting here, he thought he had something else to do, so he asked: "What, is there something else?"

"No, no, no, no."

Sheng Dongdong waved her hands quickly and left happily as if she had eaten honey.
