In the blink of an eye, the fields turned golden.
Corn, soybeans, and sesame seeds matured in succession, and the entire Qinghe Bay was engaged in a race to harvest them.
From the beginning of spring to mid-summer, the weather had been favorable, leading to another bumper crop of corn this year.
Besides the corn harvest, Tong Huaqiong also welcomed a bumper harvest of thirty acres of cotton.
The snow-white cotton bloomed in the fields, looking like piles of silver beckoning Tong Huaqiong.
Picking cotton is more labor-intensive than shucking corn, as it requires opening the cotton bolls and picking the cotton piece by piece.
Since there were no cotton sorting machines at that time, and the cotton fibers could easily get dirty with dried leaves and soil, subsequent sorting required a lot of manpower. Therefore, Tong Huaqiong specifically instructed the hired workers to avoid letting the dry leaves touch the cotton fibers as much as possible.
