Yellow Village's Harvest Festival
Ye Nolisi was focused on learning sword formation, and at this time, the rice in Yellow Village was also mature, so there was no need for Ye Nolisi to go to water rice and show his kindness.
During the few days that Ye Nolisi was busy learning sword formation, thousands of acres of rice planted by more than 2,000 villagers in Yellow Village were harvested with their joint efforts.
On the afternoon of the harvest day, Yellow Village's villagers, who had just harvested rice from the fields, were summoned by Yellow Village Chief Ye Huo outside the simple ancestral hall in the center of Yellow Village.
Ye Huo stood on a step and shouted to the surrounding villagers with a happy face.
"My fellow clansmen, today is an excellent event for our Yellow Village. It is the first year we have moved here, and it is also the first time we have harvested rice,
"Today is worth remembering. I have called you here to discuss something with you; let's designate today as the Harvest Festival of our Yellow Village and regard it as a unique festival of our Yellow Village,
"And every time during this harvest festival, we all gather together, set up hundreds of tables, and rejoice and celebrate together,
Today is a day of joy, and every family in Yellow Village should put ten kilograms of rice."
Many villagers were happy with such events, and ten kilograms of rice was not much. They could afford, so they all agreed to Ye Huo's proposal. Even if there were any stingy people who were unwilling to jointly finance and hold a harvest feast, they dared not refute everyone's face and could only reluctantly agree.
Ye Huo, who was sitting in the main seat, heard the words of agreement coming from around him, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
In order to strengthen his appeal as the village chief, he released a piece of good news.
"Everyone, I and the hundreds of Yellow Village guards in the village have been preparing for this day for nearly a month. We have hunted nearly a hundred wild beasts and obtained a total of more than 10,000 kilograms of wild beast meat. With the help of the immortal from Yellow Hill, we use ice to freeze it, and now the ten thousand kilograms of wild beast meat is still very tender, tonight's harvest feast, these ten thousand kilograms of wild beast meat, everyone can share it."
"The woman in the village who is good at cooking is. It's going to be a lot of hard work, and men like me, don't be idle. It's up to us to set the table and clean up these little things,
"As for the rice and other vegetables in tonight's harvest banquet, it's up to us. Let's jointly fund the project, do you think it's okay?"
As soon as these words came out, the emotions of the villagers in Yellow Village were pushed to the extreme.
The flesh and blood of wild beasts is a valuable thing in the eyes of mortals without force. One meal in three days is considered a good thing.
Today, the village is willing to give away thousands of kilograms of wild animal meat for free just to hold a banquet. This move really makes many villagers extremely satisfied with the young village chief, Ye Huo.
As for how much the rice and vegetables in the harvest banquet were worth, they were not half as expensive as the wild beast meat in the banquet.
Many villagers in Yellow Village cheered. Even the stingy villagers were already smiling, and they were already thinking that they would eat meat vigorously at night.
At night, with the joint efforts of more than 2,000 villagers in Yellow Village, the ceremony was held very smoothly. Hundreds of tables were placed on a flat piece of land in the village, with eighteen dishes on each table.
This was an excellent meal.
More than 2,000 villagers ate meat and drank wine, cheering for the joy of this year's harvest.
This sleepless night also allowed the villagers of Yellow Village to vent their grievances about being forcibly dispatched by their families to open up a wasteland in this desolate land.
Happy days always pass quickly. As soon as the harvest banquet is over, the villagers of Yellow Village begin their hard work again the next day, such as burning the rice straw cut from the fields in the fields, drying the rice, and other trivial matters.
Afterward, this year's rice was dried under the sun for five consecutive days, and the grand rice drying operation in Yellow Village ended.
The next day, Ye Huo, the village chief, led the village guards to escort dozens of carriages carrying nearly 100,000 kilograms of rice, as well as hundreds of men from the family and left the village.
The huge motorcade followed their newly built road and headed towards Moonlight Town.
More than ten days later, the rice-selling convoy returned to Yellow Village.
On this trip, the team brought back a lot of gold and silver, as well as a large amount of clothing to survive the cold winter.
However, most of the gold and silver obtained from selling rice was purchased into young cattle and sheep livestock, fish fry, fruit tree saplings, vegetable seeds, etc.
Young cattle and sheep are raised and slaughtered when they grow up to provide the daily meat needs of the villagers in Yellow Village.
The fish fry is placed in Yellow Lake to reproduce on their own, increasing the number of fish in Yellow Lake.
Fruit tree saplings increase Yellow Village's income.
Vegetable seeds are meant to be grown for daily consumption.
As for the rice seeds for next year, they will buy them in the spring. It is too early to buy them now.
The ordinary people in Yellow Village, including the entire Ye clan, adopt a year-by-year method. After the rice matures at the autumnal equinox, the rice fields are left empty, allowing the soil to fertilize the fields, increasing the nutrients in the soil in the coming year and making the following year's rice harvest better.
For some time after that, the villagers of Yellow Village were either expanding rice fields, repairing houses, planting fruit trees, or doing other trivial tasks.
