Chapter 207: The curved plow is fast

Shen Yuan was planting on the farmland, and the workshop had already started work.

Feng took a few old ladies to be responsible for cooking, and the young women also did what they could, and everything was in order.

Thanks to the cow, Shen Yuan didn't feel tired during the day, and he wasn't in a hurry so he didn't have to work until late.

He finished work early and prepared to go home to help his wife cut vegetables.

"Uncle, you can use the ox and the plow first."

Seeing that his uncle and elder brother were still busy working in the fields, Shen Yuan drove the cows over there.

Shen Songqing stood up, panting with exhaustion.

Without oxen, they had to rely on human power, using a straight-beam plow. After pulling the plow once, he would be exhausted even though he was holding the plow from behind.

Shen Liang and Shen Su also sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

The two of them were responsible for pulling. No matter how strong they were, they would be exhausted after a day's work.

"Why, have you finished plowing your fields?"

Although Shen Songqing knew that the cow was fast, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

It's only been one day.

Normally it would take them ten days to plow the fields.

"No, no rush, you guys use it first, I'll continue tomorrow."

Shen Yuan parked the cow and looked at the straight-beam plow of his uncle at the end of the field. He was really glad that he had both the cow and the curved-beam plow this year.

In the past, he was the only one in his family and he pushed the hoe all by himself. His uncle would come to help him after he finished his work. It would take him ten days to half a month to plow the land.

Moreover, during the farming season, every household was busy, and he couldn't hire anyone even if he wanted to.

Given the situation this year, the project can be completed in three to five days.

I have to thank my wife. The popularization of the curved plow benefited the farmers of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

"Things have changed over time. It looks like we have to ask Brother Yuan to help our family this year."

Shen Su wiped the sweat off his head with his clothes and couldn't help but sigh.

"Dad, next year we'll make a curved plow and take our straight plow over. We'll use less iron from the iron shop and it won't cost much."

Shen Liang was also extremely envious.

Plowing the fields is much more tiring than harvesting wheat.

"Okay, we'll do it after the busy farming season is over."

Shen Songqing said without hesitation that he must get a curved plow and even if he had money next year he would get a cow.

"Shen Yuan, can you lend us your ox and curved plow? Let us use them."

Old Man He, who was working in the field nearby, also ran over. He was also very tired. Seeing that Shen Songqing's family was about to use the curved plow, he immediately went over to ask.

But he was not using it for free. According to the previous practice of borrowing the village chief's cow, he could pay.

"I'll give you copper coins. How about ten copper coins a day?"

Shen Yuan smiled. He certainly wouldn't refuse, let alone say something stupid like not taking any money.

Otherwise, if one person comes to borrow today and another comes to borrow tomorrow, it would be unclear who to lend to and who not to lend to.

In the end, borrowing something only brings hatred, and makes others speak ill of him behind his back?

He knows these tricks too well.

When there was no war, they also farmed in the neighboring villages, and many soldiers even settled down and got married there.

Perhaps it was because the people there were quite a mixed crowd, full of intrigue and the sway of public opinion, and he had seen a lot of it.

"Okay, wait until my uncle and I are done with it, then you can use it."

Old Man He smiled and said, "It's a good deal to plow so much land in one day with only ten copper coins."

Seeing this, other people also came to borrow. Shen Yuan also charged ten copper coins a day, and it was a first-come, first-served basis. Everything was quite harmonious.

Looking at the sky, Shen Yuan immediately rushed home. Not long after he left the field, he saw a girl in green standing on the side of the road. When she saw him, she immediately walked over.

"My boss."

Zhao Yuanyuan mustered up her courage and shouted softly.

Her voice is very gentle, just like her appearance, short and thin, with a delicate figure.

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, not wanting to pay any attention to her, and just walked past her and walked forward.

"Boss, Brother Lin asked me to come find you."

Zhao Yuanyuan immediately shouted again, and in desperation she could only say that it was Lin Yi who asked him to find him.

Shen Yuan was not indifferent to any of them, except for saying a few words to Lin Yi.

Shen Yuan paused, thinking that something had happened in the workshop, and had already planned to go over to take a look.

"What's up with him?"

Shen Yuan still asked.

Zhao Yuanyuan was delighted and immediately looked up, revealing her palm-sized face. She glanced at Shen Yuan and then immediately lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look again.

Shen Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

If you're not saying it in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not an urgent matter.

This girl is so hesitant, she's absolutely sick!

Shen Yuan was ready to go and take a look in person. Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Yuanyuan finally spoke:

"Boss, this is what happened. Brother Lin said that the workshop doesn't need us, so he wanted to ask if there was any work at home and asked us to help. We can do anything, including washing clothes and cooking. We can't just eat your food for free."

Shen Yuan stopped.

He finally knew where that uncomfortable feeling came from.

Even if Lin Yi wanted to find him for something, he would let a man or a child come to him. How could he let a girl come?

It is even more impossible for him to suggest that the girl go to his house to work!

"If you really think so, you can just return home and have nothing to eat."

Shen Yuan was furious. He didn't even look at her and went straight home.

Delaying him from going home to find a wife!

"you....."

Zhao Yuanyuan looked at his back and stomped her feet in anger.

She dressed up today and wore her best clothes, but he didn't even look at her seriously.

"Stop crying. Who are you crying for? There's no one here."

Feng Xiaorou walked over and saw Zhao Yuanyuan's red eyes, which she thought looked very fake.

She is the only one who cries all day long, and her eyes are red at the slightest provocation, as if everyone is bullying her.

"Xiao Rou, I just thought that we are idle anyway. Although we don't get paid if we don't work, we are still eating the employer's food. I feel bad. We can't build a house, but there will always be housework..."

Zhao Yuanyuan looked guilty, as if she really felt bad.

"Who is idle? I am not idle. I help my mother cook, collect firewood, and mix mud. There is so much work to do. I think you are the only one who is idle among us."

Feng Xiaorou curled her lips, feeling a little angry, and continued:

"Zhao Yuanyuan, are you worthy of Brother Lin Yi? He was so nice to you at the beginning, but you actually had other thoughts! The boss has a wife, and she is much more beautiful than you, don't overestimate your abilities!"

It really pissed her off.

This cousin clearly comes from a farming family, but she acts like a young lady all day long and does nothing. It turns out that she is harboring bad intentions.

She really knows how to make use of her tears.

At the beginning, seeing that Lin Yi was capable and convincing, and everyone listened to him, she rushed to stick to Lin Yi, pretending to be a good person and pretending to be weak. Lin Yi really took her seriously and took good care of her along the way. But as a result, when she just came here and saw a man like her boss, she abandoned Lin Yi!

Why didn’t I realize that my cousin was such a person before!
