A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 561 The Autumn Harvest Begins

Just as the people below were discussing the two threshing trucks heatedly, the village head finally spoke.

He first struck the gong a few times to quiet the crowd, then held a megaphone to his mouth and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, be quiet first and listen to me first."

I have to say, this thing is really useful! Not only can it increase the volume of the voice, but it also has excellent penetration. Even people standing far away can clearly hear what he is saying, so he doesn't have to shout like in previous years.

At this time of year every year, the headman's voice would become hoarse for a while due to shouting for a few days. With this loudspeaker this year, he will surely be able to avoid becoming hoarse from shouting again.

"Everyone has seen it, and they must be curious about what that thing is used for!"

"Yes! Li Zheng, please tell us what that thing is used for."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below immediately became noisy again.

The village chief waited for a few breaths before he raised the loudspeaker again and said, "Everyone, stop arguing and listen to me first. This is a good thing."

As he spoke, he walked to the threshing vehicle, touched it lovingly, and continued, "This thing! It's a tool for threshing rice. It was newly developed by Shuheng and his team. You can't find it anywhere else."

These words were like a huge rock falling into a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.

"What? Li Zheng, you said that thing can thresh rice?"

"Is this true? Li Zheng, you didn't lie to us?"

"Of course it's true. How could I joke with you about this?" As he spoke, the smile on the head of the village gradually widened, and the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.

This good mood has lasted since the day he saw the threshing cart with his own eyes.

After the function of the thresher was announced, the scene became restless. Everyone started talking excitedly. No matter how the village head shouted into the loudspeaker, no one listened.

The head of the village shouted several times and felt that his throat was not so good. He was complacent just now thinking that he would not hurt his throat again this year, but now it seems that it was too early to be complacent!

He simply stopped shouting and let everyone come closer and comment on the two threshing trucks.

Everyone looked at the thresher for a long time and discussed it over and over again. Finally, they thought of the key issue: they had no idea how to use this thing!

"Li Zheng, this thing, how do you use it? How can you thresh the rice?"

The village head walked over with his hands behind his back, looking somewhat arrogant, and glanced at everyone with an unpleasant look.

You don't understand it, right? You don't understand it, that's right. I told you to keep talking nonsense and not listen to me.

So, in order to let everyone see the wonderful use of the thresher more intuitively, the village head said: "If anyone's rice is ready to be harvested, go and cut a handful and try it out, then you will know how to use it."

It was because the rice in his own family was not yet cooked enough, otherwise, he would have cut some and used it first.

Everyone in the village was familiar with the fields. They knew which family's rice was growing well and had sufficient heat. Someone immediately pointed it out, "I see that Brother Sun's rice is growing well and is already mature. We can harvest it at any time."

"Dazhu's family is also good. Among the fields in our village, theirs are the best."

"Brother Sun, Dazhu, why don't you go and harvest some rice first, and then we can try this thing to see if it can really thresh the rice!"

At the suggestion of everyone, both families agreed to harvest some rice and give it a try.

After all, their rice matures the earliest, and it is very likely that they will be the first to use this tool to thresh the rice.

After everyone felt they had been waiting for a long time, Uncle Sun and He Dazhu finally came back with a handful of rice ears hung with golden and plump grains.

"Oh! They're back. They're back."

"Hurry up and show us how these two wooden boxes thresh the grain."

The two men handed the rice ears they had harvested to the village head, and then followed him closely, watching how he operated from a close distance.

Li Zheng held the rice ears and asked them to prepare a winnowing basket or something to catch the grains. They couldn't let the grains fall to the ground.

There were only a handful of rice ears, so they could estimate how much millet there was. The two of them quickly found two baskets to temporarily hold the millet and waited for the head of the village to tell them what to do.

"See the funnel underneath? You will hold the basket under the funnel and catch the fish later."

The two men did as they were told. He Dazhu was the first. He held the basket towards the funnel outlet below and was ready.

After confirming that everything was correct, the village head nodded with satisfaction, then placed He Dazhui's handful of rice ears on the axle of the thresher and stepped on the pedal.

A magical scene appeared. Everyone saw that the shaft inside the wooden box actually started to rotate. The racks on the shaft rotated and interspersed between the rice ears, stirring down the golden and plump grains hanging on the rice ears.

Soon, most of the rice grains on the rice ears were removed. He Dazhu held the grains in the basket with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Oh my god! This is so magical, it's actually true. This thing can really thresh the grain."

When everyone saw this, there was an uproar. They had just heard the headman say that this thing could thresh rice. Although they were excited, they still retained some doubts.

But now it’s different, they witnessed this magical scene with their own eyes, and they can no longer remain calm.

The head of the village looked at the excited faces of the crowd, and he seemed to see himself when he first saw the threshing truck that day.
