Traveling through the Lishu to farm the fields

"That's fine, tell me how the rice is harvested here. Don't think too much, I just want to understand." Li Shu said playfully.

Fu Shan was helpless, her husband was so cute, so she had to come here one by one, "We just use a sickle to cut off the rice plants and bundle them into bundles, or use ox carts or manpower to bring them back, and spread them on the drying ground in a layer with wooden stalks. Break down the millet and dry it, then you can put it away.” Li Shu felt troublesome when he heard this, and suddenly thought that when he was very young, before the harvester became popular in his village, every household used the foot pedal to thresh the grain. machine, and later improved a little and used an electric threshing machine.However, Li Shu has had experience with the foot-operated threshing machine, and he was very impressed. He didn't know how it would work after he got it out.He asked again, "How many days will it take you alone to finish this five-acre field?"

Fu Shan didn't want Fu Lang to think too much, so he calculated according to his fastest working speed, and said, "About seven or eight days. It would take three days for a two-mu field, and four and a half days for a three-mu field. .”

Li Shu thought, this is too slow. If it rains, how much food can be grabbed.He told Fu Shan what he had just thought, "I know a kind of threshing machine, which can harvest the millet very quickly. First cut the millet and put it in the field, then drag the thresher to the field, and the millet can be harvested on the spot. It’s very fast after harvesting. Just put the millet on the drying ground and dry it. It’s estimated that the field like ours will be harvested in less than three days.”

After hearing this, Fu Shan was surprised and delighted, if such a thing really would be a lot more convenient, she would be able to spend more time with her husband.But there is really such a powerful thing, why does it sound like a powerful and unconstrained style? Fu Shan was a little skeptical, and looked at Li Shu without saying a word.

Li Shu looked at Fu Shan with the eyes of you must be crazy and looked at himself very displeased.I have to say that Li Shu's brain is too strong, God knows how wronged Fu Shan is, I'm just a bit suspicious.I only heard Li Shu say: "Don't believe me, you'll know how good I am when I get it out, and I'll talk about it when I get back tonight." After saying that, he ignored Fu Shan and went home with the food box.This smelly man even doubted my character, am I the kind of person who can't do what he says?ah?

Fu Shan patted her head, looked at the back of her husband leaving in anger, what did she do wrong?Depressed, I continued to go to the field to gather corn.Thinking whether he was right or wrong, he had to go home quickly and apologize to Fu Lang, so he couldn't help speeding up his movements...

When Li Shu returned home, he saw that the sun was still very bright, so he put the chrysanthemum pickers aside first, and it would not be too late to wait until the sun was a little lower. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at the animals in the backyard. If there is no water, add water.After finishing the work, there was no work to do, so I went into the room to find a pen and paper, which were leftovers from Fu Shan's study years ago, the pen was a bit old, and the paper was also yellowed a lot.It's okay to use it for painting, so you don't have to pay attention to it.Li Shu's grandfather was still there when he was a child, and he was always brought up by his grandfather.Li Shu's grandfather went to a private school when he was young, and he could write calligraphy very well. At that time, there were any events in the village, such as happy events, funerals, and Spring Festival couplets. If you want to write brush calligraphy, you should ask Li Shu's grandfather to write it. , Grandpa is also very generous, and will agree, and afterward, he may send some delicious food as a reward, and it all goes into Li Shu's belly.Grandpa Li Shu is very generous to Li Shu, but he is still very strict in some aspects, such as requiring Li Shu's calligraphy.

Under the strict supervision of his grandfather, Li Shu's is also able to see people.Grandpa went there when Li Shu was in junior high school. Now that I think about it, the two of us are separated by time and space. I really miss him very much.Although I haven't touched a writing brush for a long time, now I hold it in my hand, and my control over it has not changed at all. After a while, a lifelike foot-operated threshing machine appeared on the paper.Looking at his masterpiece, Li Shu was very satisfied.The shaft of this threshing machine can be made by Jiang Sheng, a blacksmith at the head of the village. Later, I can draw another enlarged picture of the shaft for Jiang Blacksmith's reference, but the cabin of this threshing machine is a carpenter's job, so I need to find a good craftsman. Carpenter, at present there is no one in this village who specializes in carpentry work, please be stable and Shen, he knows a lot of people.

So excitedly, she brought the blueprints to Nanny Shen's house. Nanny Shen was bringing her 11-year-old second brother Fu Tianshui and her [-]-year-old son Fu Tianlin to pick up corn. There were several small hills piled up on the ground. Corn piles, the big dustpan is full of corn kernels, and there is a large oilcloth spread on the ground in the yard, which is full of corn kernels.Seeing the three of them happily busy, thinking about the large piece of corn in the field today, I will have plenty of work to do tomorrow.I thought it would be great if I could make a corn thresher. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn mechanical manufacturing. I used to grow very little corn at home, and I ate it myself. Where have I seen a corn thresher?The best way is to get the threshing machine out quickly, and run to Madam Shen to see if there is any skilled carpenter around here.

Shen Momo said, "It's a coincidence, my in-laws are carpenters." Said Shen Momo would still look at Fu Tianshui.The little brother heard his father talking about his husband's family, and immediately blushed, lowered his head and just screamed at the corn in his hand.Nanny Shen continued, "My in-laws were good at handicrafts, and everyone in the village knew about it. Whoever had a job would send it to my in-laws. I don't know what kind of furniture you want to make, Xiaoshu?" Li After listening to the book, there is a play now, so I handed the blueprints to Nanny Shen to read.Shen Momo looked at it for a long time, but she didn't know what it was, and said with some embarrassment, "I haven't seen this thing in my life for decades. I don't know if my in-laws can do it well. Or I'll take you there tomorrow Take a look, if you can do it, I will do it for you, if you can’t, I will look at another house?" Li Shu returned, "Then please trouble Madam Shen, I will come back tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Li Shu took the blueprint and returned to the house. home.

Li Shu took the blueprint of the reel, took two catties of wild meat, and a tael of silver, locked the door and went to Jiang Tiejiang's house at the head of the village.Jiang Tiejiang is the only household in the village, and also an outsider. He is in his forties. His family fled from the north and came to Fuhong Village more than ten years ago. Unfortunately, the plague two years ago killed his family and left him alone. Go down to Jiangsheng alone.

When Li Shu arrived at Jiang Sheng's house, Jiang Sheng was working hard on the iron. It was still mid-autumn and the weather was still hot. Jiang Tiejiang was wearing shorts and an apron around his neck, standing barefoot by the stove. On the side, with a thick hammer in his hand, he beat things rhythmically.Seeing that it was Li Shu who came, with the meat still in his hand, he must have something to do, so he politely asked, "What's the matter with Fu Shan's coming to me?"
