Chapter 148 Finding Carpenter Yan
"The corn is growing well this year. Look at this field. The corn is growing tall and the cobs are big."
Zhang Shengjin and Song Cenyue walked southward, and suddenly they saw a large cornfield. Zhang Shengjin looked at the corn in the field carefully and was very happy.
"Yes! It looks like we will have a good harvest of corn this year!" Song Cenyue nodded and smiled. She was happy to see the corn in the field growing well.
Cornmeal can be used as the staple food. Corn grows well and can have a bumper harvest. The members of the Yongfeng Production Team will be able to get more food and eat more, which is a great thing.
At this time, the best thing for farmers is to get more food and have more to eat.
"I hope for a good harvest! I told you before that we have been having poor harvests here for many years. We haven't had a good harvest for many years. Everyone is longing for a good harvest so that we can get more food and have enough to eat." Zhang Shengjin nodded and smiled. He suddenly showed an expression as if he had thought of something, and looked at Song Cenyue with a strange look.
"Uncle Captain, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like this?" Song Cenyue felt confused.
"I was wondering if you, girl, could really be the lucky star of our production team!" said Zhang Shengjin.
"..." Song Cenyue was a little confused and even more puzzled. "Why do you suddenly say that?" She asked curiously.
"You know, we have been having poor harvests for many years. We haven't had a good harvest for many years. But this year, there is not much rain. Compared with previous years, there seems to be no change. The only change is your arrival...
After you came, you have earned dozens of yuan for our production team in just a short time. You are the lucky star of our production team. I think the corn in the field is growing so well this year. I am afraid it is because of you, the lucky star. You are really the lucky star of our production team and can bring good luck to our production team. "Zhang Shengjin said.
Hearing this, Song Cenyue was both amused and confused.
"Uncle, you think too much." Song Cenyue waved her hand. "How can the good corn production this year be because of me?"
"Girl, don't disbelieve me! Think about what I just said. We have been experiencing poor harvests for many years. But this year, there is not much rain. There is no change compared to previous years. The only change is that you are here...
Look at how long you have been here and how much money you have made for us. No matter how you think about it, you are very lucky and have brought blessings to our production team. That's why the corn is growing so well. Otherwise, why didn't the corn grow as well as this year when there was less rain in previous years? "Zhang Shengjin said seriously.
I didn't expect the team leader to be so superstitious! Song Cenyue wanted to laugh. She still didn't think that she was the one who brought blessings to the production team, which was why the corn in the production team grew so well this year.
But she didn't say anything else. Seeing the team leader's expression, he seemed to have determined what he thought. No matter how much she said, she was afraid that he would not listen and would still firmly believe that it was because of her that the production team was blessed.
Song Cenyue changed the subject, "Captain, the corn is growing so well. When the corn is fully grown and ready to be harvested, how many kilograms can one acre of land produce? Can it produce 1,000 kilograms per acre?"
"One thousand pounds?" Zhang Shengjin's eyes widened with an expression of extreme shock.
"What's wrong, Captain uncle?" Song Cenyue didn't understand why he had such an expression.
"Girl, how could you think of asking me if one acre of land can produce one thousand kilograms? There are so many city and county communes in our Jin Province, and no place can produce one thousand kilograms per acre. You are too bold!" Zhang Shengjin said, shaking his head and smacking his lips.
"One thousand kilograms? If we can produce 400 kilograms per mu, it means God and Buddha bless us. I should shout Amitabha." Zhang Shengjin said.
Now it was Song Cenyue's turn to be shocked. No way, the yield per mu was only 400 kilograms. It would take God's blessing and Buddha's blessing. She was so angry that she wanted to shout "Amitabha".
How low was the production in the past?
If there is a bumper harvest of modern corn, one acre of land can easily produce one thousand kilograms, at best six or seven hundred kilograms, and at worst five hundred kilograms. That's why she asked before if one acre of land can produce one thousand kilograms.
She realized that it must be because people didn't use chemical fertilizers in large quantities like they do today, so the yield was much lower than it is today.
At that time, chemical fertilizers were scarce and much more expensive than farmers' income, so many production teams could not afford to use chemical fertilizers.
Without chemical fertilizers, the yield would be very low, far from what we have today.
"I hope your blessing can help us achieve a corn yield of 400 kilograms per mu this year." Zhang Shengjin said with a smile.
"..." Song Cenyue didn't know how to answer for a moment. "Yeah." She could only nod in the end.
If she is really blessed, and her blessing can help the production team increase the corn yield to 400 kilograms per mu, she would be happy to help.
Song Cenyue followed Zhang Shengjin and walked for another ten minutes. They came to a large cornfield. There were several people watering the corn in the field. Zhang Shengjin stopped.
"We're here. That man is Carpenter Yan!" Zhang Shengjin pointed to a man in the field watering corn with his bare arms. There were a few pockmarks on his face and he looked very strong. He was nearly 40 years old.
Song Cenyue looked in the direction of Zhang Shengjin's hand and immediately saw Carpenter Yan. Carpenter Yan just raised his head and met Song Cenyue's gaze. When he saw Song Cenyue and Zhang Shengjin beside her, he immediately smiled politely.
"Captain, Xiao Song, the educated youth!"
Hearing Carpenter Yan's loud greeting, everyone in the cornfield hurried to look for Zhang Shengjin and Song Cenyue.
"Captain, Young Educated Youth Song!" When the others saw Zhang Shengjin and Song Cenyue, they also greeted them.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Shengjin smiled at the people in the field. "I brought Xiao Song here to talk to Carpenter Yan about something. You guys go about your business and continue to do your work. Don't worry about us."
Hearing his words, Carpenter Yan asked curiously, "Captain, what do you want from me?" As he spoke, he put down the small bucket of watering in his hand and walked towards Zhang Shengjin and Song Cenyue.
Everyone in the field was also curious about what Zhang Shengjin and Song Cenyue wanted to see Carpenter Yan about, so they continued to work on their work while staring at them and listening attentively.
"It's like this, Xiao Song, an educated youth, wants you to make a new set of furniture, so I brought him to you." Zhang Shengjin said to Carpenter Yan who came to them. "Carpenter Yan, Xiao Song, an educated youth, is a great benefactor of our production team, you have to give her the lowest price and charge her the lowest price."
It turned out that they were here to ask Carpenter Yan to make furniture for them! The people in the field showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Carpenter Yan was naturally very happy to hear that business was coming to him. Now was the off-season for furniture making, and he had not opened for nearly half a month. No one had come to him to make or buy furniture for nearly half a month. Now that he finally had business, the corners of his lips instantly curled up to the deepest.
"That's for sure! Even if the team leader doesn't say it, I will still give Xiao Song the cheapest price. Xiao Song is a great benefactor of our production team. Everyone in our production team remembers her kindness and knows how to be grateful to her." Carpenter Yan smiled and nodded vigorously.
"I wonder what kind of furniture you want to make, Young Scholar Song?" Carpenter Yan looked at Song Cenyue and asked.
"I want a bed, a dining table, four chairs and two small stools, as well as a wardrobe, a cupboard, a dressing table, and a writing desk." Song Cenyue replied. "Please calculate how much it costs."
"It just so happens that I have a bed, three chairs, a cupboard and a dressing table that I made in my spare time. How about you buy them ready-made? I'll give you the lowest price. As for the rest that are not in stock, I'll make them for you and also give you the lowest price." Carpenter Yan was even happier when he heard what she wanted, and thought about selling her the ready-made goods he had at home.
"You have ready-made beds, chairs, cupboards and dressing tables at home! I wonder what the styles are? Can I decide whether to buy them after looking at the styles?" Song Cenyue said.
If I see something and the style is good and I like it, I will buy it myself and help him solve the inventory problem.
If you see something and it's not good or you don't like it, you will definitely not want it and you won't be able to help him.
"It's the latest style, don't worry, it's not old-fashioned, nor was it made in the past, it was made recently. I'll take you to my house to see it now...
As for the quality, you can rest assured. Everyone in this area knows my craftsmanship. No one says it is bad. Everyone praises it. I am not bragging. My carpentry skills are the best in this area. The captain knows it. "Carpenter Yan showed a proud expression, and it seems that he is quite confident in his craftsmanship.
"As a craftsman, you should have no shortage of business and should not have any inventory. How come you have recently made beds, chairs, cupboards, and dressing tables? Did someone place an order with you and then return the goods?" Zhang Shengjin asked Carpenter Yan curiously.
