Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 165: If you take off Gu Zi's clothes, it will become rice.
The sun was about to set, and Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi helped to collect the millet that had been dried in the sun.

“Why do you want to collect some?”

Zhang Ruoxi asked doubtfully.

"Let them dry for a little while, and they'll be ready for storage tomorrow." Xu Yue said, "These have been exposed to the sun for two days, so they won't go bad if kept indoors for a few days. Let's dry them in batches and store them."

"Can it be dried tomorrow?" Zhang Ruoxi said.

"Yes!" Xu Yue said, "I'm going to the city tomorrow to get the jade token and buy a rice shelling machine. Do you want to come with me?"

"I'm at home helping my aunt dry the millet." Zhang Ruoxi shook her head.

Go get something?

She really has no interest in it. She might as well dry the millet.

While drying, she could clearly feel the scent of the millet.

Xu Yue smiled, but did not try to persuade him.

That's not necessary.

If you hold on too tightly, it will only push you further away.

Not to mention boyfriends and girlfriends, even couples have to give each other space.

"Breakthrough?"

Xu Chengyang obviously noticed the change in Xu Yue, and found a chance to ask casually.

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

"Very good." Xu Chengyang nodded.

Xu Chengyang didn’t know whether there were still four realms in today’s world.

I guess they are rare.

If you become strong, you won't feel powerless even if others covet your family property.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xu Yue drove his father's pickup truck to the city.

"Thank you!" Xu Yue said to Lu Zhenyu after receiving the jade token, "I made a special trip here."

"It's a small matter." Lu Zhenyu said, "Brother Yue, if you are interested in jade, how about we go to the Burmese public auction together when we have time? If you don't want to go abroad, you can also go to Dianzhou."

"Sure!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Just contact me when the time comes."

He didn't know whether he could sense the scent of jade in those raw stones, but the ones with windows should be able to emit some scent.

Xu Yue will definitely need a lot of jade in the future.

If you buy it in a store, it is obviously not worth it.

With Lu Zhenyu's suggestion, it was obviously not a good idea to continue selling to Xu Yue at cost price.

After all, the store doesn't belong to him alone.

It’s okay if it’s less, but if it’s more, my family will have objections.

After saying goodbye to Lu Zhenyu, Xu Yue went to buy a larger rice shelling machine.

It is more convenient to grind the rice yourself, and the bran (husk) can also be used to feed chickens, ducks and pigs.

What's more, the millet of Xu Yue's family is not ordinary.

Xu Yue returned home and put the shelling machine away with the help of his grandfather.

As for the small and old one at home, it can be completely eliminated.

"Where is Ruoxi?" Xu Yue asked casually.

"They must have gone to watch the people from the program crew catch fish." Xu Chengyang said.

Xu Yue nodded and then went to the paddy field.

At this time, the program crew was already recording.

There were men and women in the fields, all looking very miserable.

There were no villagers watching except the people from the program crew.

If Zhang Ruoxi is considered a villager, then she is the only one.

It also makes sense for her to be there.

The boss.

Some of those female and male stars were dressed the same as Xu Yue and the others before.

He had a fish basket tied around his waist and a chicken cage in his hand.

Of course, some came empty-handed, while others held net bags.

The celebrity artists in the field were having a great time, and the people around them were also enjoying themselves.

It has to be said that these celebrities understand variety shows. Anyway, Xu Yue doesn't think they all really like catching fish.

There may be such people, but they won’t be all.

"came back?"

Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile when she saw Xu Yue approaching.

"You seem to be in good spirits." Xu Yue said with a smile, "You came here to watch the fun."

"I brought the production crew here and took a look out of curiosity." Zhang Ruoxi said, "Have you bought the equipment?"

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Zhang Ruoxi probably has never seen a shelling machine.

Some people don't even know what rice is when it's dressed.

Of course, Zhang Ruoxi is not the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between grains.

"Can we try it now?" Zhang Ruoxi asked, becoming interested.

"The millet isn't sun-dried, so there will be a lot of broken grains when you thresh it," Xu Yue said. "But if you want to try, I still have some old millet at home."

"Chen Gu?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue in confusion, as if she didn't know what this thing was.

"Old millet." Xu Yue said, "Last year's millet to be exact. After the new millet is dried, the old millet in our family will probably be used to feed the chickens and ducks."

If you have something good, you will naturally not miss the past.

Xu Yue’s family’s dishes are good, and the meat will be even better in the future.

It is unacceptable that the rice we eat is still the same as before.

"How much paddy field do you plan to plant next year?" Zhang Ruoxi asked.

This year, the yield of ten or so acres of land was extremely high, but it was only more than 10,000 kilograms of millet.

It would probably take more than 10,000 kilograms to make rice after peeling the shell.

If I keep two or three thousand kilograms for myself, how much will be left?
Also give some away as gifts.

Xu Yue also planned to use the rice to bribe Zhang Ruoxi's family.

There aren't many to sell.

But it can pave the way for next year.

"I'll discuss this with Tian Yizi later," Xu Yue said. "It wouldn't hurt to rent more. I think those employees' paddy fields would all like to be rented to us. How can they find the time to take care of them now?"

Either you work for Xu Yue's family all of a sudden, then you become the main labor force.

Those left at home are either old or young.

"That would be several hundred acres, wouldn't it?" Zhang Ruoxi said.

"How can there be so much?" Xu Yue said, "There are more plots of land in the village than fields, and every household has the same. There are many people who have ten or so mu of land, but there are not many who have ten or so mu of paddy fields. Some of my paddy fields were obtained through land reform."

Xu Yue's family has more than ten acres of paddy fields. In addition to the fact that he has a large family, some of the fields are land reform fields.

"Oh!" Zhang Ruoxi didn't seem very interested in this and said, "Let's go back and try your shelling machine. I haven't seen how millet is turned into rice yet!"

"How does millet become rice?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Just take off its clothes."

Zhang Ruoxi gave Xu Yue a blank look.

Afterwards, the two went back to try out Xu Yue’s newly purchased shelling machine.

"Is that all right?"

Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask when she saw Xu Yue turning on the machine and pouring the millet into the hopper.

"How is that possible!" Xu Yue said, "We have to adjust the speed. If it's too fast, the shells won't be cleanly peeled, and if it's too slow, there will be a lot of broken rice. In addition, we have to use a windmill to separate the rice from the bran! Are you going to eat it with the bran?"

"windmill?"

Zhang Ruoxi was a little stunned.

What came to her mind was either a toy windmill or a Dutch windmill.

"It's not the kind of windmill you're thinking of," Xu Yue said. "It's the old-fashioned kind that's common in rural areas. That kind of windmill uses wind power to blow away the lighter chaff, leaving behind the heavier rice. They're usually made of wood, but some are made of iron."

"Oh!"

Zhang Ruoxi was still a little confused, but Xu Yue didn't continue explaining.

There's no need for that, he'll make it later.

In fact, windmills are also used to dry millet.

Blow away the straw inside.

It is very common in rural areas, and Xu Yue’s family naturally has it as well.
