A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 553: Tools for Threshing Rice

When Master Jiang and the other man looked at it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, they couldn't help asking. Hang Shuheng then put down his teacup and said, "This is a tool for threshing rice."

"What? You said this thing can thresh rice?" Uncle Jiang was so excited before Old Jiang could say anything, "If there really is such a thing that can thresh rice, then we don't have to pull the ox cart to the threshing ground to thresh rice ears."

You know, not every family in a village has cows. If you want to use ox carts to grind rice ears, you can only take turns. Some families even wait for the autumn rain before it is their turn to use the ox carts.

Things like this happen every year, but the situation cannot be effectively improved every year.

"Whether it will work or not, we have to try it out to know." Hang Shuheng did not make any promises.

Mr. Jiang fell into deep thought, lit up his pipe and started smoking. After a long while, he decided, "No matter if it works or not, let's make one first."

His cloudy old eyes were somewhat reddened. He stared at Hang Shuheng for a long time and said solemnly: "Shuheng, if this tool that can thresh rice can really be successful, you will be the lucky star of farmers all over the world! If this achievement is reported to the court, you don't even need to take the imperial examination, and the court can give you a position."

When he was young, he relied on his skills to get a job.

Hang Shuheng smiled when he heard this, and said something else, "Whether it can be successful is still unknown! Let's make one and give it a try! The autumn harvest season will come soon, so let's try it out in our village first. If it works, we can talk about other things later."

He had known about this thing for a long time, and had drawn the blueprint long ago. The reason he took it out now was just because he was going to take the imperial examination, and he wanted to help himself.

The original plan was to take it out before the Autumn Examination next year. Once this tool was released, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the Dongli Kingdom. By that time, he would have just passed the Autumn Examination and was ready to go to Beijing to take the exam.

With the blessing of this event, his path will be much smoother.

However, Zhou Huan discussed the situation in the capital with him several times and told him that the old emperor's health was getting worse. When they met this morning, he even privately asserted that the old emperor might not survive this winter.

As soon as the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, a special examination would be held. The original plan to take part in the autumn examination next year could be moved forward by one year. He had to take out this blueprint at this time.

He is not a saint and will not make selfless contributions to benefit the people. If he wants to give this thing away, he must get some benefits for himself.

Uncle Jiang and Shuisheng were still studying the drawings, and they brought them to Hang Shuheng, pointing out every confusing part and asking him for advice.

Hang Shuheng answered their puzzled questions one by one, "Here is the bellows, and here is the shaft that can thresh the rice. When using it, fix the sack under the bellows, step on this board, and the shaft and the fan blades inside the bellows will rotate."

"We just need to grab a handful of rice ears and put them on the shaft. As the shaft rotates, the grains will fall off the ears. At the same time, the wind from the bellows will blow the broken straw to this place, and the grains will fall directly into the sack."

He explained every detail on the rendering one by one, and then pointed to the detailed drawings of each part and told him some detailed questions.

When he pointed to the blades of the bellows, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Shuisheng, you can study this bellows when the time comes. As long as it has power, it can blow out wind. The amount of wind is much greater than that of a fan."

After saying this, he glanced meaningfully at Mr. Jiang who was fanning himself.

After his suggestion, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but take the drawings to himself, carefully looked at the details, and then he understood.

"This thing is great. Once we make the threshing cart, we'll make a lot of it. I'm sure the workshop will make a lot of money."

Hang Shuheng was thirsty from talking, and just as he was taking a sip of tea, he laughed out loud when he heard what Mr. Jiang said, "Hahaha, Mr. Jiang, you keep talking about making a fortune now!"

"Hey! People in the world eat cereals and grains, and they are all vulgar people."

At the beginning, Mr. Jiang looked down on Hang Shuheng's opening of a workshop for the ultimate purpose of making a profit.

But now, he has been here for a long time, and has been brainwashed by Hang Shuheng from time to time. In addition, he has received generous bonuses every month, and he has gradually been influenced by him.

Moreover, most of the things made by Hang Shuheng are for the benefit of people's livelihood. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for him to make money. Otherwise, he would go to great lengths to set up such a large workshop with so many people under him and they would have nothing to eat and drink.

Regarding the construction of the threshing cart, Uncle Jiang excitedly requested his old father to let him participate. Since he had come across this opportunity to witness a miracle, he didn't want to miss it.

Mr. Jiang had three sons, all of whom learned the craft from him. However, none of the three brothers was able to inherit his legacy as they were always lacking in skills.

However, none of his grandchildren were willing to learn this craft from him. Mr. Jiang was worried that no one would inherit his craft.

But since coming to Shangtang Village, he discovered that Shuisheng was particularly talented in this area. As long as he was cultivated carefully, he would be able to inherit all his skills in time.

Therefore, many times, when researching something new, Mr. Jiang would bring Shuisheng with him.

This time, for the threshing vehicle to be built, Mr. Jiang still decided to bring Shuisheng along with him throughout the process.

Hearing his eldest son say this, he thought that such an opportunity was indeed rare, so he readily agreed. Not only could his eldest son participate, he also planned to recruit his other two sons as well. In this way, the workshop would not have to allocate manpower to do this.

Mr. Jiang immediately did what he said. He told his eldest son to go back to his hometown and bring his two brothers over.

Fortunately, my hometown is not far from here. If I leave in the afternoon, I can get home in the evening. I can rest at home for a night and come here tomorrow morning.

Uncle Jiang listened to his old father's instructions and nodded excitedly. Not wanting to delay any longer, he immediately pulled out the carriage and was ready to leave.

Grandma Jiang came out and persuaded her: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It won't take long. Wait a minute. I'll prepare some dry food and water for you to eat on the way."

After being scolded by his mother, Uncle Jiang felt that he might have been too impatient. It was all because of the excitement about the threshing truck.

Grandma Jiang baked a few pancakes, wrapped them in oil paper, then took a bamboo tube, filled it with water, and stuffed it all into Uncle Jiang before letting him go.
