The shortage of people was finally solved, because Zhou Baoer said there was no one, and surplus laborers from all directions rushed over.
You pass it on to me, and I pass it on to you. This relative takes one, and that relative takes another. It’s overcrowded.
Just kidding, how could there be no one? If there is no one in this village, is there no one in other villages? No one is willing to give up any money-making job.
Zhou Baoer was very happy. Not only did he send these people to the portable space, he also gave them a lot of food and tools. It was expected that after this group of people had stayed inside for a day, they would be sent out at night.
Because the number of fields gradually increased, Zhou Baoer no longer had the habit of plowing the fields with his own hands. Even if she had fun in that way, she couldn't stand the boredom day after day.
Therefore, among these tools, the big scalper and the curved shaft plow are indispensable. Fortunately, someone brought his own tools and drove an ox cart over. Otherwise, she would have to find a way to buy or borrow more oxen and plows, which would be very troublesome.

The Zhou family is now rich and has built a big house. But everyone has always lived like this, without hiring any servants or pretending to be landlords. Wu Meili, Zheng Hehua and Zheng Chunhua's two daughters handle all the up and down work every day.
You ask, how come there are only four workers in a family with so many people
In fact, what happened was that as the second daughter-in-law, Lin Luya helped cook at Huai'an Academy and learned various cooking skills.
Zhou Baoer and his three elders Zhou Dalang, Tuesday Lang, and Zhou Lang are still studying hard and striving to acquire more knowledge.
There are also two little babies, Zhou Zhenzhen and Zhou Yu. They are very young and need others to take care of them. How can they help
Under such circumstances, the only ones left are Wu Meili, Zheng Hehua, and the two cousins who are temporarily fostered in the Zhou family!
The nearby villages were full of relatives and friends. Zhou Baoer said that night that there was a shortage of people, so many people came in the middle of the night.
If you can afford it, sleep with relatives, if you can't afford it, borrow a house to live, and if you really don't have room, squeeze in with others.
In the early morning, there were even more people. Everyone gathered together and knocked on the door of the Zhou family.
They were not stupid. They had already asked about it when they heard the news. Zhou Baoer had to go to school early in the morning and couldn't afford to delay.
Wu Meili was very familiar with the folks in her hometown and had long known that something like this would happen. So I bought a lot of things last night and piled them in the warehouse, hoping to have a good day today.
Seeing that everyone was almost here, she quickly opened the warehouse, greeted a few people, and moved the food out. Of course, there are also things like pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Looking at the half-fat pig, everyone who saw it couldn't help but swallow their saliva. It’s just plowing the fields and harvesting the food, but it’s so exciting that it tastes so delicious.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Baoer, whose biological clock was particularly accurate, woke up. After she finished grooming under the eyes of others, she put everyone into her portable space according to Wu Meili's request.
Then she yawned lightly as usual, left her house, and left with her master Chen Chen. Before leaving, she had not forgotten Wu Meili's instructions and closed the door of the courtyard tightly.
——
Because there were so many people, all the Zhou family members who were still at home came in. Including Wu Meili, Zheng Hehua, Zhou Zhenzhen, Zhou Yu and Zheng Chunhua's two daughters.
Wu Meili and Zheng Hehua put the two little dolls next to them and let them continue to sleep or play casually. Then he took some familiar aunts, daughters-in-law, etc., and started cooking for those who had taken off their heavy winter clothes and were working in the fields.
There are a lot of things grown in the large portable space, including everything from staple foods to various vegetables. Green vegetables, cabbage, carrots, courgettes, pumpkins, etc. are definitely enough to feed a group of people.
Wu Meili took the initiative and randomly picked some ripe vegetables in the field. Everyone washed them in the water pool not long after they appeared, and then slowly started to cook.
After a few quarters of an hour, a mouth-watering fragrance filled the air. Many people were secretly looking in the direction of cooking while working, wishing they could pounce on it at this moment.
Even so, no one dares to be lazy. Those who need to plow the fields will plow the fields, those who need to harvest will reap the crops, and those who need to sort out the vegetables, flowers and fruits will sort out the vegetables, fruits and vegetables, without daring to have any leisure time.
After half an hour, the delicious meal will be ready. Everyone squatted on the field ridge with bowls in their hands and ate happily. If there is not enough, add more, and no one will make any remarks.
After eating, everyone worked more efficiently. You were coming and going, and there were beads of sweat all over your body. But even so, the more than 500 acres of land is so vast that it is despairing, and it has never been completed.

Mrs. Wen is a newlywed from a nearby village. She just got married here and soon went to work with her husband's family.
Listening to her mother-in-law's popular science talk on the way, she felt as if she was living in a dream. You can get copper coins just by doing any work, are you kidding me
As for the witches, she was not surprised. She had long heard that there were witches in this place, and she had even seen a witch casting spells.
Madam Wen was stunned as she entered some kind of portable space. The miko is indeed a miko, she actually has so much land in her body. At a glance, you can't see the end of it at all. It is estimated that there are not that many fields in the entire village.
The job she was assigned was to pull radishes. She only needed to pull up the radishes in the field and put them all in one place. It looks simple and is not difficult to do. However, pulling out carrots all the time is also a rather torturous thing.
Mrs. Wen didn't complain about pain or tiredness. After eating a big meal that she couldn't usually eat at home, she started to work more enthusiastically. Even though my back was sore and my hands were almost turning green, I didn't relax.
At the end of the day, the hard work is done. Lady Wen looked at the neatly arranged white radishes and smiled with relief. Then, together with my mother-in-law, who had also finished her work, she ran to the front to find someone to check and accept the work.
When Aunt Zhou nodded with satisfaction, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got a lot of copper coins. The texture of the metal casting is really hard to put down.
Because this is a sealed space, even if you take the money, you can't leave now. Mrs. Wen just sat and talked like everyone else, watching the old men continue to lead a cow to plow the fields.
The fields that needed work did not take up one third of the entire portable space, but the manpower was too slow. Fortunately, everyone had their own division of labor, and everyone worked hard to complete it within the stipulated time.
——
After a busy day, Zhou Baoer returned home and released the people who had been in his personal space all day.
It took her two-quarters of an hour to follow her family members to send the people away, then take out the seeds in batches from the warehouse, and plant them in the fields with the small means provided by the space.
Zheng Hehua held her youngest son and watched, no longer surprised. I'm just a little proud as always, proud that I have such a child.
After finishing the sowing work, Zhou Baoer took a sip of tea and was about to say something when there was a regular knock on the door outside.
Wu Meili winked and asked quietly: "Is someone from the Chamber of Commerce here?"
Zhou Baoer nodded. Before he could say anything more, Zheng Hehua put down the child in his arms and rushed to open the door.
A group of people nodded to Zheng Hehua, said hello again, walked in with sacks of the same size, opened them and placed them in front of Zhou Baoer.
This pattern has been carried out many times, and Zhou Baoer did not talk nonsense. Various grains, vegetables, and fruits were taken out from the space and put into sacks in multiple lines.
When the sack was almost full, someone immediately came forward with a rope and tied the mouth of the sack tightly. Then, he picked up the entire sack and carefully placed it on the car outside the house.
If someone looks closely, they will notice something very strange. I won’t go into details about white flour, cornmeal, and shelled rice. But there are also all kinds of vegetables that are cut into various shapes and have no moisture at all.
Zhao Yiyi came up with this. It seems to be called dehydrated vegetables. As long as there is no trace of moisture inside, it can be stored for a long time and has the opportunity to be sold to other places.
