During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Shen Qianning wanted to patrol with the villagers at night.

As a result, the villagers unanimously disagreed, saying that she had three children at home who needed to be taken care of. Shen Qianning, who was under special care, could only make up for it in other ways, so she generously gave away the food for everyone's extra meal in the evening, and also took a pound of meat. Come out and let the porridge cook inside.

Shen Qianning didn't sleep well all night. She got up in the middle of the night and followed everyone for a walk. She was even more vigilant when she found a fire in the woods.

Aunt Yuegui and those people haven't given up yet.

Before noon the next day, ten men called by Chen Zhongqiu arrived.

Everyone looks strong and powerful. The leader is Xu Changhe, who was recruited by Chen Zhongqiu from the next county. These ten people had worked for Chen Zhongqiu before and were safe in their work.

Uncle Xiao packed up the house of a family in the village who had fled the famine and had not returned, and resettled everyone there.

As for the issue of eating for ten people, Shen Qianning left it to Qiu Shui and Lady Shi.

The old pumpkins in the field are ready for picking. The ten people's wages will be calculated starting from today. Shen Qianning arranged for a few people to help pick the pumpkins.

As long as the old pumpkins are covered with white frost, they will be picked back.

Shen Qianning deliberately left the woodshed empty, but within one day the woodshed was filled with pumpkins.

It’s just that the pumpkins have been picked, and the next step is what to do with them.

She had no intention of selling old pumpkins, so after much deliberation the best way was to make pumpkin powder.

Just as she said, she asked the ten people who came to help to cut firewood on the mountain, while she arranged for Qiu Shui and Lady Shi to help cut pumpkins.

Pumpkin flesh and seeds are placed alone.

Shen Qianning began to repair the drying table.

Similar to the method of making a bread cellar, fortunately, Shen Qianning had learned everything in the last days. It was easy for Shen Qianning to make a drying cellar. He directly built three drying cellars in the woods behind, and then started drying.

After the pumpkin is washed and the surface moisture is dried, it is placed in the drying cellar and then burned.

Needless to say, there is strength in numbers.

The ten people Chen Zhongqiu hired were very good at their work.

And he is the kind of person who works hard.

She just gave a warning and the other party knew what to do.

The rice in the field is already golden, and it will be harvested in two days.

Shen Qianning thought about it and decided to take out the threshing machine.

It's just the excuse you make that matters.

So the next day, after Shen Qianning gave instructions on what to do, he left the village directly.

There are several agricultural threshing machines in Shen Qianning's space that do not require electricity. This kind of threshing machine only needs to step on the pedal, and the rollers inside will rotate, and the wheels can be used to thresh the grain.

In order to get the rice back from the field quickly, we can only take a risk and then just insist that it was bought from a merchant.

Shen Qianning walked around outside and didn't return to the village until dark.

What she took out was a single-person threshing machine. She had researched this kind of threshing machine and it could be produced in this era.

Qiu Shui first saw the threshing machine on Shen Qianning's carriage and came up curiously: "What is this!"

Shen Qianning smiled and explained: "Threshing machine, I was lucky today. I met a vendor from out of town, and he brought one like this, saying it can be used to thresh millet."

Xu Changhe and others gathered around, and the threshing machine was lifted to the ground.

There were torches all around, lighting up the place brightly.

Except for Shen Qianning, no one present had ever seen a threshing machine.

Uncle Xiao was particularly curious and asked, "Can this thing thresh millet?"

Shen Qianning smiled and said: "How about asking Dongsheng to cut two handfuls of rice and come back to give it a try?"

Xiao Dongsheng heard this and immediately ran to cut rice.

After cutting it back quickly, Shen Qianning placed a wooden basin under the millet and then stepped on the pedal.

As the drum rotated, Shen Qianning took a handful of rice and put the ears into the drum. The rapid threshing shocked everyone around him.

"This is too awesome!" Xiao Dongsheng swallowed in surprise and looked at Shen Qianning with shocked eyes.

People around him were also filled with emotion.

Uncle Xiao was shocked and said: "I have never seen such a powerful thing. Where did you buy Qian Ning? You must have spent a lot of money!"

He felt that such a good artifact must be very expensive.

Shen Qianning said: "It did cost a lot of money, Brother Changhe, I will teach you how to use it later."

Xu Changhe quickly agreed.

People in the village are afraid that the drought will continue.

In previous years, when threshing millet, except for winter paddy fields, all other fields would be drained, and dry fields would be threshed.

But this year no one gave up.

After another busy day, Wang Mazi and the others arrived.

Boss Xiao, who never showed up, happened to come back from outside that day, and he met Wang Mazi at the entrance of the village.

He was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.

Wang Mazi didn't even give Boss Xiao an extra glance. He just asked where Shen Qianning's home was, and then led people to Shen Qianning's home.

Boss Xiao thought Wang Mazi and the others were causing trouble for Shen Qianning, so he followed behind secretly to see Shen Qianning's jokes.

It turned out that Wang Mazi was respectful to Shen Qianning.

This time it scared him.

Wang Mazi said with a smile: "Boss Shen, we are here, tell us what to do!"

Every household in the village has a large wooden basin, and almost everyone in the village went to the fields.

Shen Qianning did not ask Lady Shi and the others to help.

Xu Changhe and the others went to the fields first.

Shen Qianning said: "You will be responsible for harvesting and loading the millet from the wooden basin later."

As for her, she just needs supervision.

The woods next to the village.

At this moment, more than thirty people have gathered.

Aunt Yuegui looked at the busy people with a dark face.

"I'm just telling you why that little bitch is so confident and not worried at all. It turns out that she hired someone from outside to help."

She originally planned to take action today, but all her plans fell through.

Many of the people who followed Aunt Yuegui were very panicked: "Let's just go and grab it!"

It will be too late if you don't take action.

But Aunt Yuegui sneered and said: "Don't worry, her food will always be taken back home. It's not a good idea to go directly to her house to grab it at night. We don't need to do anything yet. You hurry up and contact everyone nearby. I've probably done the math. , that little bitch’s family harvested thousands of kilograms of millet from more than ten acres of land, which is enough for us to share.”

She finally set her sights on Shen Qianning's family, so how could she give up.

But some people still have concerns.

"There are a lot of people in Niwo Village. We are going to rob Shen Qianning's house. What if the villagers come to help us?"

This must also be taken into account.

In case you enter the village and cannot get out.

Because no one from the Yamen came for the time being, Chen Zhongqiu didn't come to collect food either.

For the time being, the grains were piled in the yard.

Shen Qianning took Xiao Dongchen and Xiao Nanchuan home to cook.

Xiao Xiyue sat in the main room and watched.

Counting the four members of her family, there are meals for 21 people in her family. Shen Qianning has already prepared meat and vegetables.

You can't be at a loss if you hire someone to do work.
