Eating big melon is so refreshing
Chapter 20 Mai Chuozi
"Come right up!" Xiao Chunya was born with great strength. She is even stronger in this life than in the last. Her body is in great shape in this life, with no asthma and no myocardial infarction. She feels she can live to be a hundred years old.
The brother and sister worked in perfect harmony, and after half an hour of hard work, Daye’s first simple thresher was born.
"The position of the main axis is not correct, it is probably not reliable." Xiao Qiulin frowned and said, "The tool made without a ruler is not as expected."
"I think it's okay. Time is too short. Let's deal with this wave first. It would be great if there was wheat to experiment with."
As he was speaking, the door opened and Zhao Wulang came back carrying a load of wheat.
Zhao Yangshi asked in surprise, "Wulang, you got a load of wheat so soon?"
Zhao Wulang said, "Mother, the wheat scraper is so easy to use. It can scrape a large area without bending down. It's so fast."
Zhao Wulang ran in and took a big sip of water. When he left, he took the water jar with him.
Zhao Yang knew that the wheat chopsticks were useful, but she didn't know it was so fast. It was even faster than she had imagined. An excited expression appeared on her face.
"Mother, my third sister-in-law and I will go to the fields to take a look. Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I'll trouble you with the kitchen work." When Gao saw that everything was almost ready in the kitchen, she couldn't wait to go to the wheat field to take a look.
Mrs. Du and Mrs. Gao trotted away, and those who didn't know would think they were going to pick up money.
"Brother Erniu, bring me a bunch of wheat."
Xiao Chunya raised her voice again, "Grandma, where is the winnowing basket for the wheat?"
"My dear grandson, be careful not to cut your hands." Mrs. Zhao Yang didn't know what Xiao Chunya wanted to do with the winnowing basket, so she placed the winnowing basket at the exit of the thresher as requested.
Xiao Qiulin picked up a handful of wheat and placed it at the entrance. Xiao Chunya shook the handle, and the wheat ears fell sparsely into the winnowing basket.
"It looks okay."
Xiao Chunya went to move the load of wheat over, Xiao Qiulin picked up a bundle of wheat, and Xiao Chunya sped up. In just a few minutes, the bundle of wheat turned into straw and was thrown aside, and the threshed wheat fell into the winnowing basket from the outlet.
Zhao Yang was stunned. In her impression, threshing wheat required repeatedly beating it with a flail, which was also hard farm work.
"Sister Chun'er, I'm here."
"Brother Erniu, you are not as strong as me. Let's talk about it in two years."
The brother and sister cooperated with each other and became more and more familiar with the movements. In just twenty minutes, they had threshed the entire load of wheat. The brother and sister were so tired that they sat down on the ground.
Right now
The wheat field was bustling with activity, and almost all the men in the village came out to watch the fun. Zhao Wulang's wheat tuck was snatched away by his cousin Zhao Gan from his third grandfather's family. He worked half as fast as Zhao Wulang, so Zhao Wulang was reduced to the job of tying up the wheat.
The other one was Zhao Erlang, who was also a wanderer. His wheat scoop came into the hands of Zhao Ming. Being a scholar, he could not match Zhao Erlang's speed, but his handsome posture while working won him a lot of praise.
Uncle Ku’s family only has two acres of wheat, and it happened to be the first one to be planted, so we used his wheat for the experiment first.
After Uncle Ku carried all the wheat home, he returned to the wheat field. He was disdainful of Zhao Ming's speed and snatched the wheat from him. His speed was even faster than Shuanzi's and he won cheers.
"I'll try too."
"And I!"
Well, Zhao Bei and his sons and brothers will just be responsible for bundling the wheat and carrying it home. Men are naturally crazy about tools and they are even willing to fight over them.
The men in the village are simple but not stupid. Who wouldn't want such a useful tool? The first step to get the tool is to wait until Zhao Bei's wheat is harvested. Whoever works hard here now will have the chance to get the new tool first!
Zhao Bei also thought of this reason, and lowered his voice to Zhao Sanlang, "Sanlang, don't worry about the work in the fields. Go home and ask Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu to help you make a few more wheat husks. There won't be enough for tomorrow."
Zhao Sanlang responded. When he went back just now, he seemed to see Xiao Chun'er already in the yard. He picked up another load of wheat and went home. He felt that he had endless energy all over his body. He could walk forward with big strides while carrying the load of wheat. Of course, he didn't know that it was because he drank the space water added by Xiao Qiulin.
Zhao Nan was standing less than a meter away from Zhao Bei, and he heard everything clearly. Zhao Nan's eyes sparkled as he said, "Old Four, was this Mai Chuozi the idea of your twins?"
"Yes, they learned it from books." Zhao Bei said happily, "These two children are very smart and filial at a young age. They know that harvesting wheat is hard, so they made some wheat scoops and cut their fingers."
"Ming Ge'er has read a lot of books and even passed the examination, so why doesn't he know how to do this?" Zhao Nan muttered, "People are different. Some people are done with reading books, while others know how to do the work after reading them."
Zhao Erlang interrupted, "Third Grandpa, Ming Ge is reading the Four Books and Five Classics, which are used for the imperial examinations, while Xiao Chunzi and Xiao Qiuzi are reading agricultural books, which are specifically about making farm tools. They are completely different."
"Erlang, it doesn't matter if the child is still young and reading miscellaneous books. In two years, he will go to school and study the Four Books and the Five Classics. It is far from enough for our Zhaojia Village to have only one student or even one scholar."
Zhao Dong said, "If you have the conditions and talent, you should send your children to school. If you have the conditions but not the talent, you should send them to school for two years, at least to learn to read."
Zhao Erlang readily agreed, and he had the final say on when to send the child to school. In order to avoid being surrounded by people persuading him to study, Zhao Erlang also picked up a load of wheat and left the battlefield.
Zhao Sanlang was carrying a load of wheat back home. On the way, he ran into his wife, Mrs. Du, and his fourth brother's wife, Mrs. Gao. He said, "Why are you here? Many people are helping our family harvest wheat. You don't need to go."
"We're already halfway there, we might as well pick up a load of wheat before we go back."
What kind of thing is it to return empty-handed?
The two sisters-in-law met Zhao Erlang, Zhao Silang, Zhao Wulang and Zhao Dalang along the way. Each of them was carrying a load of wheat and walking back. Now they finally believed that Mai Chuozi was harvesting wheat very quickly.
There were a lot of people in the wheat field. Those who were quick were harvesting the wheat, while those who were slow were bundling the wheat. Some people couldn't find work, so they simply went home to find shoulder poles and hemp ropes to carry Zhao Bei's wheat back.
Zhao Bei and Danniu, one carrying a big load and the other carrying a small load, had just returned to the door when they heard crying sounds coming from inside. That sound... was it Xiaochun'er crying?
"Which bastard made my granddaughter cry?" Zhao Bei walked into the door angrily, and then saw Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin sitting on the ground. In front of them was a pile of messy wood and bamboo. What was this...
