I am a primitive

With everyone working together, the rapeseed was harvested and processed within a few days.

Then, taking advantage of the sunny weather, the land where rapeseed was harvested was turned over again, and late millet was planted.

After the late millet was planted, the planting of soybeans was gradually put on the agenda.

It would be nice if it had wheat.

Han Chengman thought regretfully.

If there is wheat, the rotation of wheat and soybeans can be carried out. The timing is just right, and there are two harvests a year, which is really beautiful.

Moreover, soybean roots will also gather a kind of fertilizer that wheat needs, which seems to be called 'nitrogen'. Under the rotation of wheat and soybeans, not only will it not reduce the production of wheat, but it will also help increase the production of wheat.

It is unrealistic to rotate soybeans and millet, and the growing seasons of the two are somewhat in conflict.

If you wait to plant beans after the millet has been harvested, the greatest possibility is that a frost will come down as soon as the beans bloom...

It can be planted in rotation with rapeseed, although they are not a good combination.

Although I thought so in my heart, this year's soybeans did not form a pair with rapeseed. The main reason is that the number of soybeans is too small.

After hesitating for a while, Han Cheng finally left five catties of soybeans to make tofu, and planted the rest in the ground.

Instead of sowing seeds, they sowed seeds into the ground with a deer-drawn columbine cart.

However, before sowing, it is necessary to pull out the wooden planks blocking the bin eyes under the columbine funnel to enlarge the bin eyes.

Otherwise, one soy bean worth many grains of millet would not leak out.

Even though the bins have been adjusted as small as possible, and the amount of sowing has been minimized, only more than two acres of soybeans have been planted.

This is also due to the fact that the soybeans at this time are small, one is only about one-third the size of the soybeans of later generations. If they are as big as the soybeans of later generations, I am afraid that the planting area will be even smaller...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the last millet planted showed tender shoots, and the soybeans drilled out of the ground, holding two fat watercress, and a little yellow sprout appeared in the middle of the watercress, the first mill of the Qingque tribe finally declared a success .

Not far from the stone flower bed built by Han Cheng, another one-meter-high stone platform was built.

A stone slab of about one square meter was placed on the stone platform, and in the center of the slate was a stone mill recently made by the Qingque tribe.

The stone mill at the bottom sits on the cement made of plant ash and is firmly built there.

This is to prevent it from rotating with the upper disc when grinding.

Around the stone mill, at a place ten centimeters wide from the stone mill, a "ridge" about ten centimeters high was built with cement and small stones.

At the lowest edge of the 'ridge', a water outlet is reserved.

This is to keep the ground soy milk from falling apart.

Those who pay attention to other people's stone mills will not do this. The bottom door of their stone mills is directly chiseled out of the big stone slab, and it is integrated with the stone slab.

The outer parts of the stone slabs are chiseled into "ditches and ridges" where soybean milk and the like gather.

The Qingque tribe now has limited tools, and the stonemason's technology is not mature enough. The most important thing is that Han Cheng and others are waiting to eat tofu and other flowers, so they use cement to replace this project that takes a lot of time. up.

After confirming that the surrounding cement has completely dried up, the stone mill and the stone slabs around the stone mill were thoroughly cleaned with several buckets of clean water, and finally began to grind tofu.

The early summer morning sunlight scatter through the emerald green bamboo in the flower bed, leaving a fine speck of light on the wet stone mill.

In the cool air, Han Cheng held a clay bowl in his left hand, and scooped out a bowl of things from the clay pot placed on the stone platform.

The bowl is filled with two-thirds of water and one-third of soybeans that have been soaked for more than a day and are completely saturated with water.

The bowl held is close to the top of the stone mill eye, tilted slightly, the water will enter the mill eye, and when the water enters almost, there will be soaked soybeans.

While doing this, Han Cheng's right hand was not idle, holding the wooden handle on the stone mill, and turning his arm around.

After the soybeans passed through the grinding eyes and entered the middle of the two mills, it became easier to turn the mill.

The stone mill rotates round and round, and the soybean grains that enter the inside are squeezed and ground into a fine foam by the rough stone mill, which emerges from around the stone mill, and then slowly slides down along the stone mill.

The white soymilk mixed with some bean dregs slid down into the cemented trench around the stone mill.

After more and more of them gathered together, they began to flow towards the gap at the lowest point, and finally merged into a white line, which fell into the clay pot placed below, stirring up some white foam.

In the slightly cool air, there is the smell of raw soy milk, which is very familiar, just like the taste of grinding tofu when I was a child during the Chinese New Year.

The difference is that things have already changed and become two worlds...

Such a novelty as abduction can easily attract people who have never done such things.

After Han Cheng ground half of the soaked beans, he stared at Wu who had been staring at the grinder for a long time, eager to try, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He tentatively opened his mouth and expressed to Han Cheng his desire to grind.

Han Cheng smiled, but he had forgotten the attractiveness of the stone mill.

Immediately handing over the bowl to Wu, Han Cheng stood aside and handed over the grinding of beans to Wu.

This is not a demanding job, and pouring more or less water into the grinder will not cause any major hindrance, so Han Chengcheng just stood aside and watched, and did not make a sound to give any guidance.

The first mill of the Qingque Tribe was just a small mill with a diameter of [-] centimeters, it wasn't heavy, and the witch didn't think it was heavy.

When Wu took over the work from Han Cheng, Wu's body was slightly tense, and his movements seemed a little stiff. After grinding three bowls of beans, Wu's movements were already very skillful.

After all, this is really not such a difficult job.

After the beans were ground, Han Cheng asked for some clean water to be poured into the grinding eye bowl by bowl.

Turning the stone mill on one side, this is to wash away all the remaining bean dregs and soy milk.

On the one hand, it can avoid waste, and on the other hand, it can wait until the next time it is used, and spend less effort on scrubbing.

Han Cheng, Wu, senior brother and others carried the ground soybean milk and walked to one side, where a two-meter-high shelf had already been set up.

A beam is worn in the middle of the shelf, and a rope is tied to the middle of the beam.

A stick one and a half centimeters thick is tied under the rope.

The stick passes through the middle of two flat, overlapping sticks.

On the underside of the stick is a large bump that has been rested.

The big lump blocks the horizontal wooden stick below, preventing the two overlapping wooden sticks from slipping from the air.
