The more of this he has, the larger the piece of land he can cultivate, for the only payment his helpers expect and receive is tesvino.
The master of the house and his sons always do first one day's work alone, before their friends and neighbours come to help them.

Then they begin in earnest to clear the field of stones, carrying them in their arms or blankets, and cut down the brushwood.

Tesvino is brought out into the field, and iskiate, and the men, all very much under the influence of the liquor, work with the animation of a heap of disturbed ants.
When the work of hoeing and weeding is finished, the workers seize the master of the field, and, tying his arms crosswise behind him, load all the implements, that is to say, the hoes, upon his back, fastening them with ropes.

Then they form two single columns, the landlord in the middle between them, and all facing the house.

Thus they start homeward.
