Chapter 2 The Whetstone
Just as dawn was dawn, Li Siwen woke up in a sour smell, and there were dozens of large bags from head to toe, so the mosquitoes here were so arrogant.
Without washing up, after the convenience, I lined up to get dry food from the two fat aunts and poured cold water on the water hyacinth. Ten farmers set out silently, no one complained, and there was no chat.
However, Li Siwen noticed a detail. The lord walked into the stone house while yawning, and his back was wet with dew.
"This is really a dedicated lord. I guess he has the lowest safety factor at night. As the highest force value, he must bring militia to patrol?"
Thinking of this, Li Siwen took advantage of the time of peeing to pick up a small stone with fine texture on the way to the wheat field. The Lord was sleeping. He thought he could take a small adventure.
The hoe is a little rusted and the quality is really poor, like rotten iron sheets. Although such a hoe can cut weeds, it will consume a lot of effort. In addition, it cannot cut weeds from the roots, because the hoe that is stuck with soil will be more dull.
This is also the reason why ten farmers of them hoe ten acres of land every day but still cannot keep up with the growth rate of weeds.
Maybe the lord didn't notice this detail, but Li Siwen was a minion at an agricultural and animal husbandry station before traveling through time, and he understood these common sense.
There is no whetstone, and the iron hoe is not hard. If you polish it with a few times occasionally, it will be a little sharper.
But Li Siwen is not trying to improve work efficiency.
He has been doing experiments in killing weeds for the past four days.
Then we draw several conclusions.
First, if you cut off the weeds outside the wheat field, there will also be green spots of light gathering into the green ball, but it is not possible to try on a large scale for the time being.
Second, cutting off the surface part of the weeds can obtain green light spots, but not many.
Third, cutting off most of the rhizomes of the weeds can obtain green light spots, with a large number of them, almost two or three times that of the previous method.
Fourth, cutting off the wheat seedlings will not obtain green light spots, but there will be no punishment.
Fifth, without using a hoe, using other tools, including pulling weeds with your hands, will also get green spots.
Based on the above, Li Siwen made the following decision, not pursuing quantity, but only pursuing quality, and the key to the quality of weeding lies in the hoe.
If you want to do things well, you must first sharpen your tools.
Staining the hoe with small stones did not attract the attention of the other nine farmers, after all, they were not in the same field.
Li Siwen squatted on the ground and took advantage of the opportunity to eat dry food to polish it for five minutes, which made the hoe a little decent. After all, it could not be requested too much.
Then, he began to weed, and the range of movement he used increased slightly and his strength also increased. He increased the inertia of waving the hoe as much as possible. At the same time, he would never be greedy for too many. Every weed must be cut off and rooted.
As a result, his weeding speed was much slower, but the number of green light spots obtained was at least twice as many as usual.
Of course, there will be another question to do this. Will the Lord be suspicious because he was too slow to weed?
"Then add more effort."
Li Siwen chose the easiest method, but doing so consumed his physical strength very much. It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and his physical strength was consumed to 5 o'clock at 10 o'clock.
In the past, he would only spend 5 o'clock in the morning. After a period of rest at noon, his physical strength would return to 8 o'clock, and then throughout the afternoon, his physical strength would eventually be consumed again by 6 o'clock.
When the remaining 2 o'clock physical strength is basically exhausted. In this case, you often need to replenish food and rest for a whole night before you can restore your physical strength to the full value of 10 o'clock. If you are awakened a few times at night or do something, you will not be able to recover all of them at all.
The attribute of physical strength is what Li Siwen has paid the most attention in the past few days, and he has not taken it lightly because of dataization.
According to his calculations, the consumption and recovery of these 10 points of physical strength are basically no different from that of normal adults.
In other words, dataization does not bring people any convenience or advantage. They are as tired as they should be tired, but they are still injured or bitten by mosquitoes. They are also extremely itchy.
He looked up at the direction of the territory, and Li Siwen took out the dry food and water hyacinth, sat down and rested. The physical strength at 5 o'clock was a dividing line. Before the physical strength dropped to 5 o'clock, he just felt a little tired. Even during the intervals of work, he would recover a little. If he did not replenish food, drink water, and sit down and rest, once his physical strength dropped below 5 o'clock, fatigue would fall on his whole body like a lead block, and he would feel weak from the inside to the outside. It would definitely be impossible to have a fierce state of dragon spirit and tiger.
After eating the dry food from noon and resting for another half an hour, Li Siwen's physical strength quickly recovered to 8 o'clock. At this time, he was only half behind other farmers, not too obvious. He would not find any inappropriateness when the lord came to patrol from about 10 o'clock in the morning. If he had no background data records to read.
Taking a deep breath, Li Siwen began to continue weeding according to the original frequency. His current condition would definitely not be able to support the evening, and he would definitely be exposed after work in the evening because the area of weeding was too small. Even if he deliberately weeded one-tenth of the more weeded yesterday, he would definitely not be able to fill the hole today.
But what if he could extract a little vitality from the green ball again this afternoon and add some points to his physical strength?
This is his plan, it is not perfect enough, but the chance of passing it smoothly is still very high.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the lord came as expected. He didn't say anything, but paused slightly at the wheat field where every farmer was weeding.
In just a few seconds, Li Siwen felt so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.
Then, nothing happened. The lord did not even look at him or the sparse wheat seedlings in the wheat fields. He should have a means to know the progress and quality of weeding at a glance. Of course, this data may have to wait until the wheat harvest will produce fruit. After all, for a newly reclaimed piece of raw land, a sudden high-quality weeding is insignificant to the entire farming management harvesting process curve.
"The answer should be revealed tonight."
When the serious lord left, Li Siwen said silently in his heart.
If it was the former one he guessed, then he would most likely be noticed by the Lord. Of course, it was not his identity exposed. He might be appreciated and rewarded. After all, although the total area of he weeding is small, the quality is at least doubled.
If it was the latter type he guessed, then he didn't have to worry about anything. The fifty acres of land were divided into twelve yuan in total, and the ten farmers did not contract at designated locations, but took turns to take care of it.
So even if autumn comes, the harvest of a certain wheat field is slightly better and so a tiny bit cannot be traced.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, the lord will not pay attention to these details at all. As a leader who wants to manage the territory and manage many matters, if he has to deal with everything to such a meticulous level, then the overall workload will at least make Li Siwen collapse if he thinks about it himself.
After taking a break at noon, Li Siwen, who had eaten dry food in advance, had only recovered his energy to 6 o'clock even after resting for an hour.
On a hotter afternoon, the physical exhaustion will increase, and coupled with hunger, that is, if you do nothing, you will lose some physical strength.
In addition, Li Siwen must ensure that he has two points of physical strength to be at the bottom. Although he is not sure about the consequences of physical exhaustion, he doesn’t know what it would be like to do physical labor in reality?
At a mild case, heat stroke, and at a severe case, it will damage the body. If you are deducted some health points or have a serious illness, it will be more than worth the loss.
So he can use only three points of physical strength, which is three points less than other farmers.
Fortunately, this is enough.
