A car accident, our family of three crossed

The old patriarch and the head of the village stared at the stable thing in front of them, looked at each other, but couldn't figure out what it was.

The village head walked around the threshing vehicle and asked uncertainly, "Can this thing really thresh rice?"

"It's true. Wait, I'll show you."

Shuisheng said this, then turned around and ran to find a handful of straw and demonstrated it to the two of them personally.

He demonstrated and explained at the same time, feeling secretly happy because it was finally his turn to operate it.

However, his joy lasted only three seconds before he was pushed aside by the village head.

The head of the village took the straw and started to operate it himself, imitating Shuisheng's actions.

There is no technical knowledge required to use this thing. The most important thing is to control the operation of the entire thresher by stepping on the pedals.

After trying it himself once, the village head figured out the trick.

Suppose that what he is holding at this moment is not dry straw, but freshly harvested rice ears, then he only needs to fix the rice ears on the rotating shaft, step on the pedal, the rotating shaft will rotate, and the rack on it will be able to knock the grains off the rice ears.

"It really works, it really works, uncle, come and try it." The village head turned around excitedly and supported the old patriarch, wanting the old man to try this magical threshing tool himself.

As early as when Shuisheng was demonstrating, the old patriarch had already been eager to take action, but he was old and not as agile as the village head who was in his prime, so he was beaten to it by the village head.

Fortunately, the village head still had a conscience and did not occupy the land all the time. He also knew to let the old man try it himself.

The old patriarch operated it himself and said excitedly: "Great! This thing is great!"

The village head was also overwhelmed with emotion, and he even wiped away tears. "With this thing, every household doesn't have to wait for the cows in the village to pull the carts to grind the rice. It not only saves time, trouble and labor, but also greatly reduces the risk of encountering rainy days."

As the head of a village, he would worry all the time when the grain harvest came every year. He would make arrangements for the several cows in the village in advance, deciding which family would use them today and which family would use them tomorrow.

But even so, every year some families postpone the harvest because they are waiting for the ox carts, resulting in rainy days just after the harvest.

The grain was harvested but there was no time to thresh it, and without sunlight to dry it, some families' grain even sprouted, causing considerable losses.

Although the occurrence of these situations had no direct relationship with him, the village head, the families who suffered losses could not help but blame him for his inappropriate arrangements.

Outsiders only see that he is the head of the village and has a decisive say in the village, which is very glorious. But in fact, only he himself knows that if you want to be a responsible head of the village, you will often be unpopular both inside and outside.

"This is a great invention! You are all the creators of this invention. As the head of the village, I have to thank you on behalf of all the farmers in Shangtang Village." The head of the village said, bowing to Hang Shuheng, Jiang Lao and others, "You are all the benefactors of Shangtang Village. No, that's not right. You are the benefactors of farmers all over the world..."

Hang Shuheng and Shuisheng were of the younger generation, so when the head of the village bowed, they nimbly moved out of the way because they did not want to shorten their lifespan.

Elder Jiang waved his hand and pushed all the credit to Hang Shuheng. "We are just craftsmen, and we all made it according to the drawings. If it weren't for the drawings that Shuheng brought out, no matter how good our craftsmanship is, we simply can't think of such a magical thing with our brains."

The old clan leader listened to Elder Jiang's words, but he didn't quite agree. "Old brother, don't erase your own contribution. Although the blueprint was drawn by Shuheng, he certainly didn't have the skills to make it. The two had different divisions of labor. Both Shuheng and the others have contributed."

Hang Shuheng kept nodding his head. The old patriarch was right. They just had different divisions of labor. There was no need to worry about who had made greater contributions and who had made lesser contributions.

After the old patriarch and the village head had enjoyed the threshing cart for a while, they were finally able to sit down and discuss the upcoming autumn harvest.

"It will be the beginning of autumn in a few days. After the beginning of autumn, the crops in the fields will gradually mature. The climate this year is better than in previous years. The harvests of crops in each family are good. We must think carefully and make good use of this thresher."

The head of the village looked serious. He had to make good arrangements this year, as much as possible, so that no family would suffer losses.

Right now, Mr. Jiang and others are rushing to make the second threshing vehicle, which is expected to take about ten days. Counting the days, by the time the second vehicle is completed, the village will start to harvest grain.

At that time, there will be two threshing trucks available for the village to use in turns, which can save a lot of time.

According to Hang Shuheng's explanation, during the autumn harvest, one only needs to put this thing in the field, and the millet can be threshed directly in the field and then transported to the threshing ground for drying, which is both convenient and fast.

The village head's original idea was to place the thresher in the threshing yard, and whoever family's turn it was would harvest the grain and transport it back to the threshing yard to thresh it. After Hang Shuheng's reminder, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Although the threshing cart is a tool that benefits the people, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly to manufacture one. Even if it is used by villagers, it cannot be used for free.

The head of the village discussed with the old patriarch and decided that it would be better for the village to pay for the two threshing carts.

There are two plans to buy the threshing trucks. One is to raise funds from the village, with each household contributing a share, to buy the two threshing trucks, and the village will use them together in the future.

The second is that any party can buy it, and whoever needs to use it will be charged rent based on the number of times or the size of the land.

Of course, even if someone rents it, the period of use is limited. Otherwise, if someone wants to cheat and wants to use it for three to five days or ten days to half a month, then other people in the village will not be able to use it.

In addition to these two options, it is not necessary to buy the threshing truck. If you don't buy it, you can just rent it from Hang Shuheng. However, in this way, since Hang Shuheng can rent it to villagers, he can also rent it to others.

The head of the village believed that once this thing was made public, it would be in short supply, at least for the time being. By then, who knows how many people would be eyeing these two threshing trucks.

After thinking about all of the above, the village head finally decided to get the two threshing trucks first.
