    Trantor: 549690339


    News of having abine harvester in Xiao Family Vige soon spread to other viges.


    After all, in this information age, any developments or changes in a vige can be instantly known.


    “I heard there is a harvester in the Xiao Family Vige that can harvest forty or fifty mu ofnd in a single day!”


    “Heavens, forty or fifty mu ofnd a day, is that for real?”


    “Of course, it’s real. Now, many people in the Xiao Family Vige are using the harvester to harvest theirnds. It can finish harvesting four or five mu ofnd in just over an hour.”


    “Who bought the harvester? I heard that harvesters are very expensive, costing several thousand yuan each. Who has that much money to buy one? How muchnd do you need to harvest to cover the cost?” “I heard it was bought by Xiao Wanshan.”


    “Oh, Xiao Wanshan, I heard his family is quite wealthy.”


    “Heh heh, no matter how wealthy they are, this seems like a waste. These machines cost several thousand yuan. How many years and how muchnd would we have to cultivate to save that much money?”


    “People who have ways to make money don’t need our concern. Besides, after he bought the harvester, it costs sixty yuan per mu to have him harvest for you. If it’s forty or fifty mu per day, that’s an ie of two to three thousand yuan. Wow, you don’t realize how much it is until you do the math. A daily ie of two or three thousand, and thirty thousand yuan can be earned in just about ten days. See, the cost is recovered quickly.”


    “Ah, now that you mention it, it does seem that way. This machine costing several thousand yuan can cover its cost within just ten days of harvesting rice, and then it will be all profit.”


    “That’s what you would think. But this machine needs maintenance and gasoline, both of which cost money. Plus, there probably aren’t many people who are willing to buy such an expensive machine. Moreover, where would you find so muchnd to harvest forty or fifty mu every day?”


    “You’re right.”


    “However, what I heard is that many people in the vige want to have the harvester from Xiao Family Vigee to harvest their rice. I wonder if they can get it.”


    “I asked the Vige Head, and he talked to the Xiao Family Vige. If our vige has at least twenty mu ofnd to be harvested per day, they would be willing toe. However, if it’s just a small plot of a few mu, Xiao Wanshan wouldn’t be willing toe. It costs too much both in time and money to go back and forth for just a small piece ofnd.”


    “The vige head also said that if you want the harvester, go to his office to collect some data, then set a time for thebine harvester from the Xiao Family Vige toe.”


    “Sixty yuan per mu, my family has three mu ofnd, which would cost almost two hundred yuan. To be honest, I’m a bit hesitant. It’s better for my whole family to harvest these three mu ourselves, finishing it in two days.”


    “I have the same idea. My family doesn’t have that much money to spend inviting a harvester. With that money, I could buy more meat for several meals, which is more practical.”


    “Yeah, no matter how fast the harvester is, it still costs money. I don’t know how many people in our vige are willing to use the harvester for rice harvesting.”


    “I heard from Xiuxiu that her husband saw the harvester in action in Xiao Family Vige. It finished such arge plot ofnd with just one round. They have seven or eight mu ofnd and are thinking of getting the harvester!”


    “Their family has a lot ofnd, so when ites to exchanging harvest, other families might not be willing. After all, most people have at most four or five mu, and many more only have two or three mu. Who would be willing to exchange like that?”


    “Right, so every year they invite people to harvest their rice; they invite more than a dozen people. But even from early morning to night, it’s still not enough to harvest all.”


    “With so muchnd, it’s more cost-effective for their family to have the harvestere to harvest than inviting people.”


    “Indeed. I heard from Xiuxiu that their family has already signed up with the vige head. There are also several other families with plots ofnd registered, so the harvester shoulde.”


    “I just don’t know when the vige head will set the harvest time, so we can go and have a look.”


    “Xiuxiu said their harvest time was set for September 26th. With so much rice in their family, plus two or three more households, it can be harvested together. ”


    “My family’s rice is also scheduled for harvest around that time.”


    On September 26th, Xiao Wanlin drove the harvester to Li Vige.


    Vige Head Li saw Xiao Wanlin and was very happy, “Wanlin, have you had breakfast yet?”


    Xiao Wanlin replied, “I’ve already eaten. Vige Head, where is the rice that needs to be harvested? Please show me the way!”


    “Alright.”


    The Vige Head led him to the field where the rice was to be harvested.


    But when they arrived there, a problem arose.


    The harvester had to pass through somend on its way to the rice fields, inevitably damaging some things. This led to the vigers preventing the harvester from passing through.


    “No way, you can’t go through mynd. If your machine passes by, it will damage the stuff in my field.”


    Xiao Wanlin said, “I canpensate for the damaged things.”


    “That’s not enough.” Li Dayou seemed somewhat overbearing, “How much can youpensate? At least fifty yuan.”


    Upon hearing this, the Vige Head’s face immediately darkened, and he shouted angrily, “Li Dayou, you’re really stretching it. Your several nts of wilted vegetables in the field are worth fifty yuan? Why don’t you just go rob people? It’s more than enough topensate you with ten yuan.”


    However, Li Dayou insisted, “Ten yuan is not enough. If it’s not fifty, you can’t go through mynd.”


    Hearing Li Dayou’s words, Xiuxiu was anxious and angry.


    With anger, she said, “Li Dayou, don’t be too excessive. How much can these few wilted vegetables of yours be worth? Ten yuan at most. I think you’re not trying to block the harvester. You just don’t like my family. Isn’t that why you’re trying to prevent our rice from being harvested?”


    Li Dayou raised his head stubbornly and said, “I’m dealing with the issue, not the person. Zhou Xiuxiu, you either let the harvester pass through other ces or give me fifty yuan if you want to pass through mynd.”


    Xiao Wanlin looked around and asked the Vige Head, “Vige Head, whosend is next to this one? Can the machine pass through there?”


    The Vige Head looked at one person in the crowd and asked, “Da Shan, can


    the machine pass through your field!”


    Li Dashan stepped forward, frowning, “Vige Head, my field is nted with rice. If such a big machine passes through, it’s hard to say how much rice will be damaged. This won’t do.”


    Xiao Wanlin said, “I canpensate for this. Also, although the machine is big, it doesn’t cause too much damage when passing through. Plus?”


    He looked at the rice in the field and continued, “Your rice is also quite ripe. How about this, when I pass through, I’ll also harvest this section of your field, and give you additionalpensation. What do you think?”


    When the vigers heard this, they immediatelyughed and said, “Ha ha, that’s not bad. Da Shan, your rice was going to be harvested in a few days anyway. Now the harvester will do it for free, and you’ll even get somepensation. This is a win for you.”


    After listening, Li Dashan frowned for a moment, seemingly deep in thought..
