Capítulo 139: Chapter 137: Is this my business?

Many hands make light work. With the help of the villagers, over twenty people harvested the 100-acre fields, a task that would have taken four or five days completed in just two!

The weather was high and brisk during this period, and the sun was shining brightly. The paddy quickly dried out on the drying yard paved with cement ground.

Under eager eyes, the total weight of the dried rice was finally calculated.

"17,852 pounds!" Manager Xie announced loudly after calculating. You could hear the excitement quivering in his voice!

A yield of 17,852 pounds from a 100-acre field, that is 785 pounds and two taels per acre!

This was even more than previously estimated. Although it was only a few dozen pounds more, this rice could shell out about 20 pounds of finished rice, which many peasant families wouldn't dare to consume in a month!
