Fearsome Farmer

Chapter 2 The Whetstone

Just after dawn, Li Siwen woke up with a sour smell, and there were no less than dozens of large bags from head to toe. The mosquitoes here are too arrogant.

Without washing up, after being convenient, they lined up to receive dry food from the two fat ladies, poured cold water on the water hyacinth, and the ten farmers set off silently, no one complained or even chatted.

However, Li Siwen noticed a detail. The lord walked into the stone house with a yawn, his back was wet with dew.

"This is really a dedicated lord. Presumably the safety factor is the lowest at night. As the one with the highest force value, he must bring the militia to patrol?"

Thinking of this, Li Siwen picked up a small, fine-textured stone while urinating on the way to the wheat field. The lord was sleeping, and he thought he could take a little risk.

The hoe is rusty, and the quality is really poor, like a piece of rotten iron. Although this kind of hoe can cut the weeds, it will consume a lot of energy. In addition, it cannot cut the weeds from the root, because the hoe stuck to the soil will More blunt.

This is why ten of their farmers hoe ten acres of land every day, but they still can't keep up with the growth rate of weeds.

Maybe the lord didn't notice this detail, but Li Siwen, as a young man at the farming and animal husbandry station before crossing, understood these common senses.

There is no whetstone, and the iron hoe is not hard. I use a stone to polish it a few times, and it is still sharper.

But Li Siwen didn't want to improve work efficiency.

For the past four days he has been experimenting with killing weeds.

Then several conclusions are drawn.

First, cutting off the weeds outside the wheat field will also cause green light spots to converge into the green balls, but it is not possible to try it on a large scale for the time being.

Second, the surface part of the mowed weeds can get green light spots, but the number is not much.

Third, cutting off most of the rhizomes of weeds can obtain green light spots, and the number is more, which is almost two or three times that of the previous method.

Fourth, cutting off the wheat seedlings will not give you green light points, but you will not see the penalty either.

Fifth, instead of a hoe, using other tools, including pulling weeds by hand, will also get green light spots.

Based on the above, Li Siwen made the following decision, not to pursue quantity, but to pursue quality, and the key to the quality of weeding lies in the hoe.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

Sharpening the hoe with a small stone did not attract the attention of the other nine farmers, after all, they were not in the same field.

Li Siwen squatted on the ground, took the opportunity of eating dry food, and spent five minutes polishing it to make the hoe a little more decent. After all, he couldn't ask for too much.

Then, he started weeding, using a slightly larger range of motion and strength, to increase the inertia of the hoe as much as possible, and at the same time never greedy for too much, every weed had to be cut and rooted.

As a result, his weeding speed was much slower, but the number of green light spots was at least twice as much as usual.

Of course, there is still a problem in doing so, will the lord be suspicious because he is weeding too slowly?

"Then work harder."

Li Siwen chose the simplest method, but doing so would consume a huge amount of his physical strength. It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and his 10 o'clock physical strength was consumed to 5 o'clock.

In the past, he would only consume 5 o'clock in the morning, and after a period of rest at noon, his physical strength would recover to 8 o'clock, and then he would consume 6 o'clock in the whole afternoon.

When the remaining 2 points of physical strength are basically exhausted, in this case, it is often necessary to supplement a meal and rest for a whole night to restore the physical strength to the full value of 10 points. If you are woken up several times at night , or do something, that simply can't all be restored.

The attribute of physical strength,

It was Li Siwen's most important thing in the past few days, and he didn't take it lightly because of digitization.

According to his calculations, the consumption and recovery of these 10 points of physical strength are basically no different from those of normal adults.

That is to say, digitalization does not bring people the slightest convenience and advantage. They are as tired as they should be, injured as they should be, and itchy as much as they are bitten by mosquitoes.

Looking up at the direction of the territory, Li Siwen took out dry food, water hyacinth, sat down to rest, 5 points of physical strength is a dividing line, before the physical strength drops to 5 points, he just feels a little tired, even in the interval of working There will be a little recovery. If you don’t supplement food, drink water, and sit down to rest at this time, once your physical strength drops below 5 points, fatigue will fall on your body like a lead weight, and you will feel weak from the inside out. It is absolutely impossible to appear in a state of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness.

After eating the dry food at noon and resting for another half an hour, Li Siwen's physical strength quickly recovered to 8 o'clock. At this time, he was only half behind the other farmers, which was not too obvious. When the lord arrived at ten o'clock in the morning He wouldn't find anything wrong when he came to inspect around eleven o'clock, if he didn't have any background data records to look through.

Taking a deep breath, Li Siwen continued to weed according to the original frequency. His current state would definitely not be able to last in the evening, and he would definitely make trouble after work in the evening because the area for weeding was too small, even if he intentionally did too much yesterday. Weeding a tenth of the grass will definitely not make up for today's holes.

However, what if he could extract a little vitality from the green ball again this afternoon, and then add some to his physical strength?

This is his plan, it's not perfect, but the chance of passing it is still very high.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the lord came as expected. He didn't say anything, but paused for a few seconds at the wheat fields where every farmer was hoeing.

In just a few seconds, Li Siwen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his nervousness.

Then, nothing happened, and the lord didn't even look at him, nor did he look at the sparse wheat seedlings in the wheat field. He should have a means to know the progress and quality of weeding at a glance. Of course, this data also The results may not come until the wheat is harvested. After all, for a newly reclaimed raw land, a sudden high-quality weeding is insignificant to the entire process curve of cultivation management and harvest.

"The answer should be revealed tonight."

When the unsmiling lord left, Li Siwen said silently in his heart.

If it is the former one he guessed, then there is a high probability that he will be noticed by the lord. Of course, if his identity is not exposed, he may be appreciated and rewarded. After all, although the total area he weeds is small, the quality is great. At least double that.

If it was the latter that he guessed, then he didn't have to worry about it at all. The 50 mu of land was divided into 12 pieces in total, and the ten farmers didn't have fixed-point contracts, but took turns to take care of it.

So even if autumn comes, the harvest of a certain wheat field is slightly better, and there is no way to trace the source.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the lord will not pay attention to these details at all. As a leader who manages the territory and manages many matters, if he wants to handle everything to such a meticulous level, Then the overall workload is so heavy, at least Li Siwen will collapse if he thinks about it.

Taking a break at noon, Li Siwen, who had already eaten dry food in advance, recovered his physical strength to 6 o'clock even after resting for a full hour.

And the hotter afternoon will intensify the physical exertion, coupled with hunger, that is to say, there will be a little physical loss if you don't do anything.

In addition, Li Siwen had to ensure that two points of physical strength remained at the bottom. Although he didn't know the consequences of exhaustion, didn't he know what it was like to be physically exhausted in reality?

It can range from heat stroke to severe damage to the body. If a little life point is deducted or a serious illness is caused, it is not worth the candle.

Therefore, the physical strength he can use is only three points, which is three points less than other farmers.

Fortunately, this is enough.

Taking advantage of the noon break, Li Siwen, who had sharpened his hoe with a stone, walked into the wheat field confidently. He could guarantee that he would catch up with the other farmers' weeding progress when the lord came back to make an inspection around five o'clock in the afternoon, even if there was a small difference , is also harmless.
