Everyone worked from dawn until sunset to finish the day’s tasks. Si Boyan and Li Dashan had the soldiers help carry all the cowpeas in baskets to the threshing floor. The village women, including those from the Si family, came out of curiosity to see the commotion.
When they saw it, they were stunned. They had already thought the wheat harvest was a miracle, but the cowpea harvest was even more massive. The entire threshing floor was piled high, leaving not a single inch of space to walk. From a distance, it looked as tall as a green haystack. Madam Zhang stood with her mouth agape.
"My goodness! Look at all these cowpeas!"
"Good heavens... how many pounds must this be?"
"I’d guess at least tens of thousands of pounds!"
"We’ll be eating cowpeas until the end of next year at this rate!"
