Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

The threshing bucket is a very primitive threshing tool.

Pinch the back of the crop stalks with both hands, first lift it up to the right, then slap it hard on the left inner side of the threshing barrel. At the moment of slapping, shake both hands slightly to let the threshed grains fall into the barrel to prevent the grains from being scattered when lifting it up again.

This is pure physical work.

Su Yunluo felt so tired for everyone just by looking at them!

"Did you bring paper and pen?" Su Yunluo wanted to save everyone some effort, so he prepared to draw a design of a primitive rice thresher and then have someone make it according to the design.

"Yes." Shaoyao immediately went to the carriage to get it.

After bringing the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, everyone cleared the table where the fruits and tea were originally placed so that Su Yunluo would have space to paint.

Su Yunluo picked up the brush, paused for a moment on the paper, and then began to write quickly.

Soon, the sketch of the foot-operated rice thresher came out.

It is mainly divided into three parts: frame, separation roller and transmission system.

Su Yunluo checked the sketch and found no problems, then asked someone to call the three village chiefs.

Soon, the three village chiefs trotted up to her.

"Mrs. Su, are you looking for us?" The three of them asked respectfully.

Su Yunluo took out his drawings and gave them to them: "I need you to help me find a few carpenters and blacksmiths to build this machine."

"What... is this?" It looks weird, and I have never seen it before.

"You will know when the time comes." Su Yunluo didn't like to waste words.

Instead of spending time explaining, it would be better to make the machine quickly.

The three village chiefs didn't say anything and immediately went to find someone to work for Su Yunluo.

A total of ten people were found.

Five carpenters and five blacksmiths.

This rice thresher is quite technical.

Su Yunluo was afraid that they couldn't understand the drawings, so he personally guided them throughout the process.

It took three days and three nights to successfully produce the first pedal rice thresher.

"Thank you for your hard work. For this machine, you put down your work in the fields, which resulted in the rice harvesting speed being much slower than that of other families."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just harvest the rice slowly." said a blacksmith.

Su Yunluo smiled and waved at him: "Don't worry, I won't let your help be in vain. The speed at which you fall, it will help you catch up."

"it?"

The day after the foot-operated rice thresher came out, Su Yunluo took the machine and started threshing rice for the ten villagers who made it first.

As soon as the foot-operated rice thresher came out, the speed of rice threshing increased rapidly.

The villagers who were watching were all stunned.

Su Yunluo even specially organized a small competition on the spot.

Two threshing barrels and eight men.

One pedal rice thresher and two people.

The eight people tried their best, but their speed was nowhere near that of the two people.

Facts trump everything.

The village chief and villagers all praised this foot-operated rice thresher.

At the same time, his admiration for Su Yunluo reached a new level.

"I will produce two more of this machine, and then each village will have one, and everyone can take turns using them." After Su Yunluo finished speaking, applause immediately broke out at the scene.

She smiled and waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing, "However, since it takes time to make the machine, I hope everyone can help harvest the rice from the fields of these ten villagers so that they can concentrate on building the machine."

"no problem."

After the first rice thresher test was successful, Su Yunluo asked the ten villagers to continue making rice threshers.

The ten people did not complain at all and immediately went back to build the second one.

However, the villagers present did not disappoint. They all put down their own work and helped the ten people harvest rice.

With strength in numbers, we were able to harvest and collect all the rice from ten families in one day and deliver it to their respective doorsteps!

When harvesting rice, you may occasionally encounter some surprises.

For example, today, while harvesting rice, we caught a total of five rabbits, two turtles, three snakes, and dozens of crabs.

"Madam Su, these two turtles are for you. Although they are not good things, the turtles in this season are particularly plump and delicious. I hope you don't dislike them." The villagers came over and gave the turtles to Su Yunluo.

They didn't have any other thoughts, they just wanted to thank Su Yunluo for taking care of them.

Su Yunluo accepted it with a smile: "Thank you."

At this time, a crab crawled out of the villager's bamboo basket and fell to the ground.

Su Yunluo kindly said, "The crab ran away."

Unexpectedly, the villagers said nonchalantly: "Forget it, just run away. This thing doesn't taste good anyway!"

"Not delicious?" Su Yunluo felt that the other person was lying to her.

"It's really not tasty, there's almost no meat. I didn't catch it to eat myself, I was going to grind it up and feed it to the chickens."

"Chickens are tired of eating this stuff." The villager nearby echoed.

Su Yunluo felt that this was such a waste of resources!

This crab should be a hairy crab. Each one is as big as a palm, excluding the claws.

The autumn wind blows and crabs' legs itch.

The crabs in September and October are the fattest.

"How about this, I'll give you the turtle back, and you give me the crab?"

The villagers kindly advised: "This is really not tasty!"

"It's okay, I like to eat."

"Okay then." The villagers not only gave her the crabs, but also did not take the turtle back.

Su Yunluo looked at the basket of hairy crabs and happily took his people back to the manor.

When I asked everyone, they all said that the crab was not delicious.

Most people are afraid to eat it, saying it can easily lead to poisoning.

Su Yunluo told them that they were poisoned by the food, either because they ate dead crabs or they were not steamed thoroughly.

This kind of crab needs to be steamed for a while longer!

She went to the kitchen to steam the crabs herself.

When the water is cold, pour the crabs into the pot and add cooking wine and ginger.

Then turn on the fire, and after the water boils, continue steaming for another 30 minutes.

While steaming crabs, prepare the sauce.

Vinegar, ginger and brown sugar will do.

Hairy crabs are cold in nature, and brown sugar and ginger help to remove the cold.

Put the three ingredients in a bowl, stir them together, and dip a little into your mouth with chopsticks. Hmm, it's sour and sweet, and tastes great!

The hairy crabs were finally steamed.

A large basket of them was steamed, there were more than thirty of them in total.

Su Yunluo asked everyone to take as many as they wanted to eat.

As a result, except for four children who each took one, no one else wanted to eat it.

Su Yunluo didn't force it: "It's fine if you don't want to eat, kids, let's eat."

The five people found a place to sit down with their crabs.

Su Yunluo demonstrated to the children: "Eat the crab legs first, break them off like this, then break off the other side, dip them in the prepared vinegar, and gently suck them, and the meat in the crab legs will come out. You can try it."

The children followed her demonstration and started eating the crabs in their hands.

“The taste… is really good.”

“It has a very special flavor and is delicious.”

"It's OK, but there's not enough meat."

“Delicious, very fresh.”
