    Old Xu Tou smoked a cigarette and waved his hand and said: "Only five or six acres of land, half of which is planted with soybeans to make soybean oil, and the other half with corn. The harvest here is not good, how can we eat it?"

    Wang Baoyu pointed to the barren hills behind and asked: "With such a large barren mountain, why don't you open more private land?"

    Old Xu shook his head again and said: "It's impossible to plow up that barren mountain. Besides, your aunt and I are too busy to get the five or six acres of land allocated. How can we have the energy to open up wasteland?"

    Wang Baoyu felt a little incomprehensible and asked: "Is this farm work so troublesome? Can two people cultivate such a small amount of land?"

    Old Xu Tou chuckled and said: "Captain Wang is someone who doesn't do farm work at first glance. He just talks in such layman's terms!"

    Wang Baoyu grinned and said nothing. Of course, he didn't know what to say. Who in the entire Dongfeng Village didn't know that he was a second-rate boy who never did farm work. He really didn't understand the ways of the land.

    Old Xu Tou knew he had made a mistake, coughed twice, and continued with a dry smile: "This kind of land requires two people to work together. One leads the animal, the other holds the plow, digs out the long land, then one digs the hole with a hoe, and the other digs it.  It takes a month to plant five or six acres of land, and it¡¯s already past the farming season to think about what to plant after that.¡±

    Wang Baoyu understood. It¡¯s not that farmers don¡¯t want to plant more land, but that the current farming model is too inefficient. Even if there is more land, it can¡¯t be planted. It seems that efforts must be made to improve farming efficiency.  Moreover, according to Old Xu Tou, the reason why the barren hills were not planted was not because they were covered with hazelnut trees, but because they couldn¡¯t get up the plow sticks.

    "Uncle Xu, can we plant the land only if it is turned into a dragon?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

    Old Xu stamped out the cigarette butts and said with a smile, "That's not true. As long as the seeds can be buried in the soil, they will sprout. It's just that weeding will be more troublesome."

    Wang Baoyu was thinking quickly in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to diversify the land. He asked: "Uncle Xu, if I give you another three acres of land, and teach you a way to grow more land by one person,  Can you do the method of digging holes and planting seeds?"

    When Old Xu heard what Wang Baoyu said for the first time, he smiled and said: "If there is such a method, not to mention three acres, six acres of land can be used."

    "Would that be very tiring?" Wang Baoyu asked with a concerned expression.

    "Captain Wang, you don't understand farmers. Farmers are not afraid of being tired. As long as they can harvest more grain and have enough to eat, they can still work no matter how tired they are." Old Xu Tou said, looking at Wang Baoyu's serious look, he asked again: "Wang  Captain, who can do this?"

    Wang Baoyu said firmly: "Me!" After saying that, he got up and went home.  Old Xu Tou looked at Wang Baoyu's hurried back, feeling happy and confused at the same time.

    "Old man, what are you so dumbfounded about!" It was Old Xutou's wife who came to work who was speaking. Old Xutou taught her what had just happened in detail and said, "Daughter-in-law, if we can really do this, we can  Just open another six acres of land on the mountain. When the time comes, not only will there be enough food to eat, but there will also be a lot left over. We will sell it then"

    "Come on, why do you still ask for work when you can't work hard? Hurry up and pack up these corn stalks and go home for dinner!" Old Xu Tou's wife interrupted him and urged.

    "I think there is a way. Captain Wang doesn't seem to be a liar." Old Xu Tou said thoughtfully.

    "Okay! Okay! Okay! Just wait and lie on the kang at home all day long, smoking dry tobacco, and the crops in the field will grow by yourself!" Old Xu Tou's wife rolled her eyes at him and said.

    "Do you think what you are saying is just human talk? I am not just talking casually!" Old Xu Tou said with a frown.

    "Stop grinding and get to work! If it weren't for that nonsense, we would have been able to do it quickly!" Old Xu Tou's wife said dissatisfiedly. After that, the old couple bent down and continued to work.

    Three days later, Zhang Shiqu's voice came from the loudspeaker at the village headquarters: "Attention, members of the fifth production team! Attention, members of the fifth production team, after lunch, they all gathered at the foot of the mountain in the north. Wang  The captain is going to hold a meeting for everyone, and Captain Wang is going to hold a meeting for everyone. Attention, members of the fifth production team"

    Wang Baoyu had lunch early, was neatly dressed, and was the first to arrive at the foot of the mountain. This was his first meeting with the team members since he became the production team leader, and he felt somewhat excited.

    However, the situation of the visitors made Wang Baoyu unhappy. There were representatives from every family here, but most of them were women and old people. There were only a few gentlemen here. Damn it, it was clear that these men didn't care about me.  The captain takes this seriously!  Wang Baoyu cursed secretly.  But if you are angry, you still have to hold the meeting.

    Wang Baoyu cleared his throat, put his hands on his hips, and said straight to the point, "Dear young and old men of the fifth production team, I have called you here today just to tell you one thing. I, Wang Baoyu, want to make everyone?After eating enough, there is still food left over to sell.  "

    Several gentlemen laughed after listening to Wang Baoyu's words. They didn't believe it at all. A young boy less than twenty years old actually uttered wild words that it was simply impossible to solve the problems that had existed in the fifth production team for many years. One of them was a burly man.  The middle-aged man shouted: "Baoyu, are you bragging to everyone? We have to go back to play cards!"

    "You will die if you don't play cards! What I said is true!" Wang Baoyu shouted dissatisfiedly at a few old men holding their arms.

    This voice worked really well. The men stopped laughing, and the more imaginative women began to chatter. One woman asked: "Captain Wang, tell me, have you figured out that this place is a treasure?"  , can produce more food!¡±

    "Could our area still be a mine?" The people below started to make more speculations.

    "Yes, yes, Captain Wang is right!" someone said.

    "You're the one who counts!" Wang Baoyu yelled at the women again, and the women fell silent.  At this time, Old Xu Tou spoke: "Captain Wang, please tell me if there is any good way for everyone to grow more food and get more food. We all listen to you."

    The gentlemen and ladies who were silenced by Wang Baoyu¡¯s two roars also responded and said, ¡°We listen to Captain Wang.¡±

    Wang Baoyu was dressed a little differently today. Although he was still wearing a Chinese tunic suit, he was carrying a dark green schoolbag. Wang Baoyu reached out from his schoolbag and took out a small shovel that was only one foot long. He threw it on the ground with a snap and said  : "This is what I'm talking about to keep everyone fed."

    Everyone turned their attention to the small shovel, a little curious and a little confused. A man with a silly voice asked in confusion: "Captain Baoyu, isn't this just a small shovel for digging out stove ashes? Why, this thing can grow gold.  beans?"

    With a proud smile on Wang Baoyu's face, he picked up the small shovel from the ground, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "Look, everyone, this little shovel is not an ordinary small shovel. I have modified it and the edges have been sharpened."  , now it has become a knife, and I gave it a nice name, called Silver Moon Scimitar!"
