Chapter 331: Too shameless to meet my aunt
The rice seeds are provided by Taohua Village, so the upper and lower villages naturally have to report the harvest date before making arrangements.
Bai Dazhi took a few people to run back and forth between the two villages. Thanks to the horses and their good health, otherwise they wouldn't be able to run for a few days in such a hot weather.
Harvesters and large trucks were not eligible for use in the upper and lower villages, but several threshing machines were used.
When harvesting begins, people in the field line up to harvest the rice, and then people will send bundles of rice to the threshing machine.
The threshing machine made a rumbling sound. One person handed the rice to the threshing machine, and the other person stepped on the pedal and concentrated on putting the other end of the rice into the threshing machine for threshing.
Knowing that the expected yield of Baitao was more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, Bai Dazhi was very nervous.
Seeing that ten acres of land have been harvested and the grain has been threshed.
Bai Dazhi didn't care about the tired but excited people who stepped on the threshing machine. He called two people and started weighing.
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming also hurriedly came forward. Not only the two of them, but others also nervously gathered around to help.
Before the rice harvest in the two villages started, the villagers beamed with joy when they saw the heavy ears of rice. This was the first time they had seen such good rice.
Experienced crop experts estimate that the yield per mu can reach 600 kilograms.
This was just an estimate, and it was enough to make the people in the two villages laugh out of their sleep with excitement.
The scale was shipped from Taohua Village, and it couldn't be more accurate.
Sack after sack of millet was weighed, and the total was quickly arrived at.
Bai Dazhi: "On average, ten acres produce one thousand and eighty-two kilograms per mu."
One thousand and eighty-two pounds? !
As soon as the number was reported, the people in the two villages were stunned.
"This, this, can't be done?"
"Is that a mistake?"
Just over a thousand pounds is too exaggerated. This is calculated as the yield per mu, not the total of five acres.
"Yes, yes, Master Bai, could it be that you miscalculated?" If you want to say more than five hundred or six hundred kilograms, that's definitely no problem.
But one thousand and eighty-two pounds, this is impossible.
Bai Dazhi glanced at the people around him and put the paper recording the number into Zhou Yang's hand next to him: "Yes, you can do the calculation again by yourself."
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming looked at each other and decided to weigh again and then count again.
People in the upper and lower villages were nervous and scared, so naturally no one objected to the weigh-in again.
They started busy weighing, while Bai Dazhi sat down on the rice stalk next to him.
Compared to the disbelief of the people in the upper and lower villages, Bai Dazhi looked a little dazed.
He was sure that the number was correct, but despite the fact that the yield per mu here exceeded 1,000, the threshing machine still rolled some rice stalks together, which was not as clean as the harvester.
Not to mention, the weight of the millet in Taohua Village has been dried and sifted. There are no stones in the millet, and it has all been packed in empty grains.
If weighed according to the standards in Taohua Village, the final yield per mu after peeling in Shangcun and Xiacun should be around 700 to 800 kilograms.
I must have missed something somewhere.
Bai Dazhi frowned. He carefully recalled the steps from the sprouting of grain seeds to seedling raising and transplanting... and he repeatedly matched the steps in the video in his mind.
Every step is correct, and fertilizer is applied according to the instructions in the video. When should top dressing be applied, and what fertilizer should be used at what time, it is all recorded in the notebook, and it will be clear when you look at it now.
Then Bai Dazhi became even more confused. What went wrong?
My aunt entrusted such an important matter to herself, but she didn't do it well.
How dare you go to see your aunt?
With more people and greater strength, even though it was only ten acres of rice that was weighed, it had already been put into sacks, so it would be very quick to weigh it again.
The people in Shangcun and Xiacun were naturally not as fast as those in Peach Blossom Village, but after adding them up one by one, the final result was the same as what Bai Dazhi had reported before.
That’s one thousand and eighty-two pounds.
"Really one thousand and eighty-two pounds?!" "That's right, everyone was watching just now."
"Yes, the three of us have calculated it several times each."
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming both took separate pieces of paper to record, and the final results were the same, so there was no difference.
The two looked at each other. Zhou Yang took the paper in his hand and said word by word: "It is indeed one thousand and eighty-two kilograms."
Kong Daming also said: "I have counted it several times, yes!"
The two were village chiefs. After their words fell, the people present became excited.
"One thousand and eighty-two pounds!"
"We actually grew crops with such high yields."
The yield per mu actually exceeded 1,000 kilograms.
What a concept.
In the past, the fields they cultivated, even if they were well taken care of, could only produce a little over 200 kilograms per mu.
At this moment, when the yield per acre was reduced by a thousand catties, people were excited and excited. They wanted to shout and say something, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
They looked at each other, grinning, or their eyes were red, or they were quietly wiping away the tears that came out from nowhere...
While everyone was excited and excited, Bai Dazhi was still sitting on the piles of rice straw, and the people in Taohua Village who were responsible for planting with him did not say a word.
Zhou Yang, who was smiling at each other with Kong Daming, noticed the silent Bai Dazhi out of the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment and walked over quickly.
"Master Bai, what are you doing?"
It was obviously something worth being happy about, but why didn't he seem happy about it.
Is it because everyone questioned his miscalculation of the number just now?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang quickly apologized: "Master Bai, don't worry about what happened just now."
"The folks didn't do it on purpose, they just haven't seen the world and couldn't believe that they could grow crops with such high yields."
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Yang wouldn't have believed anything he said.
Kong Daming also came over and answered: "Yes, Master Bai, it's our fault and we shouldn't question you. I apologize to you on behalf of you."
Bai Dazhi was patted on the shoulder by the villagers sitting behind him, and then he came back to his senses. He looked up at Zhou Yang and Kong Daming in a daze: "Ah, what's wrong with you?"
The two of them repeated what they just said. Bai Dazhi waved his hands after hearing the words: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem."
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming looked at each other with confusion on their faces, why was this so strange?
Bai Dazhi ignored the two of them and murmured again as if he was over the top: "There must be something wrong somewhere."
"The output shouldn't be so small."
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming immediately opened their eyes and made a sound of surprise.
"What?"
"The grain output is still small?"
The two were so shocked that they screamed a little louder, attracting the attention of the happy crowd next to them.
Everyone gathered around in confusion.
"Village chief, what's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, what did you just say? What do you mean?"
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming shook their heads. They didn't know. They were also confused now.
It rained heavily here.
It was raining harder than when someone asked for money.
